For example, in any one of the following embodiments there are any one of aheat emitter 310, anultrasonic transducer 320 configured to emit ultrasonic vibrations, a subsonic transducer 320 configured to emit sub sonic vibrations, acontroller 300, apower input 341 coupled to apower supply 340, aninterface 350 configured to allow a user to send instructions tocontroller 300, a RF (radio frequency)emitter 380, achiller emitter 370, and alight emitter 360 which is configured to control light arrays or strips 210, 220, 230, and 240. The term sub sonic is a rate of vibration that is at any rate lower in frequency than at an ultrasonic frequency. - Any one of these components can be housed in
housing 201 in any suitable combination. For example, disposed inside of housing can be both aheat emitter 310 as well as achiller 370. Alternatively disposed inside ofhousing 201 can be achiller 370 and anultrasonic transducer 320. In another embodiment could be achiller 370, anultrasonic transducer 320, and alight emitter 360. In another embodiment could be achiller 370, a ultrasonic transducer 320 a light emitter and a radio frequency (RF) emitter 380 all configured to simultaneously emit different temperatures and/or signals configured to remove fat.FIGS. 15-19 show different examples of the different embodiments formed from these combinations. For example,FIG. 15 shows one embodiment which showsembodiment 200 havinghousing 201 wherein coupled to thehousing 201 are a plurality of light arrays or strips 210, 220, 230, and 240. As indicated above these light strips or arrays in a variety of different embodiments are configured to emit any one of ultraviolet light, blue light, and/or infrared light. In addition, there is disposed below a temperature conducting plate such asplate 235 is a heatconductive block 312. Heat conductive block can be configured to be made as a chilling block or as a heating block depending on the driving mechanism. For example, coupled to heatconductive block 312 is any one of aheat emitter 310 or achiller emitter 370. Aninterface 350 is shown which is configured to send signals to a controller such as controller 300 (not shown but present, seeFIG. 14 ). There is also apower input 341, as well as a transducer which can be any one of an ultrasonic transducer/emitter 320 and/or a subsonic transducer/emitter 330.

FIG. 16 is a view of another embodiment which includesconductive plate 235 removed for further viewing. In this view there is shown heatconductive block 312. Heatconductive block 312 and heat conductive plate can be made of any suitable heat conductive material such as copper, aluminum, or any other suitable metal, material or alloy configured to conduct heat to create either a chilled or a heated surface. Coupled to heatconductive block 312 is either aheat emitter 310 or achiller emitter 370. Heat emitter can be any form of suitable heat emitter such as a coil or resistor which when powered heats up to conduct heat into heat conductive block. Alternatively, chiller emitter can be any type of suitable chilling device such as a compressor or other suitable chilling solution which conducts a chilled temperature (draws heat away from) heatconductive block 312 to drop the temperature ofplate 235 to a temperature such as below −2 degrees C. or alternatively −4 degrees C., alternatively −6 degrees C. any temperature range between −2 degrees C. and −6 degrees C. or any other suitable chilling temperature. In addition, while a controller such ascontroller 300 and power supply such aspower supply 340 are present in each of the embodiments shown inFIGS. 13-19 they are also shown here as well. For example,power supply 340 is shown electrically coupled topower input 341. Thus, power is received into the housing throughpower input 341, intopower supply 340 and is configured to power all of the components including but not limited tocontroller 300. -
Controller 300 can be any suitable form of controller and/or processor which may have suitable memory such as RAM/and/or ROM configured to hold programs or sets of instructions, as well as suitable processing to process the instructions received from input orinterface 350. -
FIG. 17 shows anotherembodiment 200 which shows a heatconductive block 312 disposed inside of ahousing 201. Disposed inside of this housing are differentRF frequency emitters 380 comprisingemitters arrays emitters 380 are controlled bycontroller 300. Furthermore, in this embodimentconductive block 312 is in communication with a chiller 370 (not shown). In this embodiment, the device is configured to emit any one of ultraviolet light, blue light and/or infrared light as well as providing RF transmission and/or cooling contact to a person's body to provide therapy treatment to reduce the subcutaneous fat when thehousing 201 is placed on a user's body such that when aconductive plate 235 is placed on a user's stomach. -
FIG. 18 is another embodiment which shows a heatconductive block 312 coupled to a chiller (not shown). Wherein aconductive plate 235 is also removed. A plurality oflarger RF emitters housing 201 and configured to emit a radio frequency signal which when transmitted into a user's body results in therapeutic reaction to the use's fat cells. In addition, with the presence of a conductive block being chilled by a chiller such aschiller 370 seeFIG. 14 , the combined therapeutic sensation of RF and chilling can result in therapeutic reaction of reducing or destroying fat cells in a user's body. -
FIG. 19 shows another embodiment which showshousing 201 having aRF emitter 380 disposed inside of the housing, along with a chiller which is coupled to a heat conductive block 312 (not shown). In addition, there is also anultrasonic transducer 320 disposed inside ofhousing 201 as well. Furthermore, there is an array oflights power input 341 as well as aninterface 350 for providing instructions to acontroller 300. -
FIG. 20 is another view of another embodiment. For example, there is ahousing 401 which is configured in a more oval shape that is more compact. With this design, it is configured for therapeutic action for fat loss around the chin and face of a user or targeted areas of a user. Disposed in or coupled tohousing 401 are strips or arrays oflights arrays housing 401 areRF emitters cold emitter 470 coupled to heat conductingblock 412.Heat conducting block 412 is coupled to heat conductingplate 435. Heat conducting plate is configured to contact a user's skin to either draw heat away from the user's skin or apply heat to the user's skin. All of these components are in communication with acontroller 400.Controller 400 is disposed inhousing 401 and is in communication withinterface 450.Controller 400 is similar tocontroller 300 as indicated above. In particular the communication and connection between the components in this embodiment is similar to the block diagram shown inFIG. 14 . In addition, disposed inside ofhousing 401 is an ultrasonic transducer configured to provide ultrasonic vibrations as well.Interface 450 is configured to send signals tocontroller 400 to selectively activate any one of the above identified components. There is also apower supply 440 and apower input 441. -
FIG. 21 shows another embodiment which is similar to the embodiment shown inFIG. 20 however this embodiment does not include a heat emitter 411,RF emitters FIG. 20 are still present. - Thus, there can be different types of treatment apparatus which are configured to treat a user for treatment of fat loss, particularly subcutaneous fat loss. The different treatment elements which are configured to emit light, cold, heat, radio frequency, ultrasonic or sonic vibrations can be combined in any array of arrangements inside of a housing to provide a therapeutic stimulation to a person's body.
- Accordingly, while at least one embodiment of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that many changes and modifications may be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
