Description

"DEVICE FOR DEFENCE AGAINST INSECTS" Technical Field
The present invention relates to a device for personal defence against insect attacks. Background Art
Devices and methods to keep mosquitoes and other insects at a distance from people and areas have been known for some time. Such devices, apart from physical screening by mosquito-net or similar means, usually repel the insects by means of smell or sound.
The most effective of these have been found to be those which use smell. It is known that it is mainly smell which attracts insects to people. In particular, mosquitoes are drawn by emissions of carbonic anhydride and water-vapour. The first type of known repellent device releases substances into the atmosphere which are toxic or unpleasant to the insects - e.g. piretro and its derivatives - by combustion or vapourization. The main drawback of such devices is that they are in general unpleasant and in some cases even toxic, though to a moderate degree, to people in the environment. A further disadvantage is that such substances are effective in closed spaces, while outdoors or in open spaces they are only partially effective or effective in the immediate vicinity of the dispenser, with the obvious disadvantages that this entails.
A partial solution to these drawbacks are devices which consist of repellent lotions or creams which are applied directly to the body. These devices have the drawback that the repellent action of the composition, once applied, is comparatively short-lived, and the chemical substances which form the repellent composition come into direct contact with the skin with possible toxic or allergic effects. A further disadvantage is that the repellent composition must be applied to all of the exposed or lightly protected skin area. Disclosure of the invention
The aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by means of a device which ensures safe and long-lasting insect repulsion without any contact between the skin and the repelling composition. This aim is achieved by the present invention, which concerns an insect-repelling device, of a type containing one or more insect-repelling active substances, characterized by consisting of a container at least in part gas-permeable, and a plurality of pressure-rupturing microcapsules containing the said active composition within the said container.
According to a preferred embodiment, the container has a layer of material impermeable to gas and liquids with an external means of self-adhesion. This layer is coupled by a known method way to a second layer which is permeable to gas and liquids so as to permit the passage of vapours of the active substance of the repellent composition, once the said vapours have been liberated by crushing the microcapsules.
In this way the repellent composition remains within the microcapsules until it is used, and direct contact between the skin and the composition itself can be avoided. According to another embodiment, the impermeable layer is coupled with a sponge-like material and this material is coupled with said second, permeable, layer. Best mode for carrying out the invention
A further advantage is that release of the composition can be controlled by gradually rupturing the microcapsules by pressure; in other words, the user can initially rupture only part of the capsules and then the remainder can be burst once when the initial repellent effect has subsided. The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the enclosed drawings which are of an illustrative rather than limiting nature, in which :
- Fig. 1 is a transverse section of a device according to the invention;
- Figs. 2 and 3 are prospective views of two other embodiments of the device according to the invention; - Fig . 4 is a sectional view of another preferred embodiment of the container; and
- Fig . 5 is a perspective view of a plurality of the containers of fig. 4 in a ready-for-sale condition.
As already stated, the device according to the invention consists of a container 1 which in fig 1 consists of a layer of gas-permeable material 2 attached by a known method, e. g. adhesives or thermo-welding, to a layer of material 3 which is impermeable to gas and liquids and is generally made of a plastic material .
To increase the permeability to gas , the layer 2 may contain a plurality of holes 12.
According to the invention, a plurality of microcapsules 4 containing a repellent composition consisting of one or more insect-repelling active substances is contained between the two layers of material . The capsules are produced by a known method , e . g . in gelatine , or from cellulose derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl- cellulose or similar materials used for this purpose and known in the art for this ; the main requirement of the capsule is that it should crush-rupture under light pressure such as the user ' s finger-pressure. To use the device according to the invention the user bursts some or all of the microcapsules to release the repe l lent compos it ion conta ined within them . Preferentially, none of the composition should come into contact with the skin or clothes of the user, because the impermeable material 3 prevents diffusion towards the user. This aspect of the invention is important in the case of compositions containing chemical compounds which might cause allergic reactions in particularly sensitive subjects.
Below the layer of material 3 is a layer of self-adhesive material 5 of the re-usable type, so that the device can be removed and re-attached to the user (either to skin or clothes) , or in the vicinity of the user (to a table or bedhead) . The adhesive layer 5 is protected by a layer of siliconized paper 6, which is removed just prior to use. As an alternative to the embodiment described above, layers 2 and 3 may be made of the same or of similar material. For example, both may be made of absorbent material, such as a suitable type of paper or non-woven fabric, with the advantage of being able to regulate the release of the vapour of the active substance. In this embodiment, the re-usable adhesive layer 5 provides the required impermeable barrier of layer 3 of the container. Fig.2 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention.
According to this embodiment, the container 1 consists of a sachet 7 containing the microcapsules 4 and provided with strings 8 or similar means for attachment to the person or in the vicinity.
This embodiment allows the adhesive layer 5 to be dispensed with.
Fig.3 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention, where a plurality of containers 1 according to Fig.l are arranged in line on adhesive material 5 along a single strip of siliconized paper 9 which functions as the layer 6 in Fig.l.
The strip 9 has adhesive ends 10 and 11 which allow the strip to be closed on itself and worn as a bracelet, from which the individual containers l can be removed, if desired, and attached to the required place. Alternatively the containers can be burst directly on the bracelet 9.
In the preferred embodiment disclosed in fig. 4, container
1 is still provided with the same layers 2 to 6 of the embodiment of fig. 1, but in this case upper layer 2 is coupled to element 13, made of a sponge-like porous material, that is also permanently adhered to layer 3. The material of element 13 is advantageously made of expanded plastic material, such as expanded polyurethane or polyethylene, known in the art and commercially available. The thickness of element 13 is greater than that of layers
2 and 3, and element 13 is provided with a hole 14 that serves as a container for microcapsules 4. The advantage of this embodiment with respect to that of fig. 1, is that it is much easier to be manufactured. This is done by first punching a plurality of holes in a sheet of expanded plastic material and by successively filling the punched holes 14 with capsules 4, coupling layers 3 and 2 at opposite sides of said sheet, and finally punching sheet and layers to obtain a plurality of containers l. Most preferably, said containers are not completely separated from each other, as shown in fig. 5, to provide a small "sheet" of containers ready for sale. The active substance in the capsule can be chosen from any known insect repellent and is usually selected from the following compounds: basil essential oil, citronella essential oil, geranium essential oil, lavender essential oil, rhodinol, geraniol, citronellol, citral, benzil, benzylbenzoate, N-butylacetanilide, Indalone (TM of FMC Corp., USA) , N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, dimethylcarbate, derivatives of cyclohexanol , 2-ethyl-2-butyl-l , 3- propandiol, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-hexandiol and similar higher alcohols, phthalates of the formula
(δro~°~R.
where R and R' are C1-C5 alkyles, butylesters of bicarboxylic acid of the formula H9C4-0-OC-(CH2)n-CO-0-C4H9 where n is an integer between 2 and 6,
1 and mixtures thereof.
In the container with the capsules 4 there may also be other substances such as inert absorbers or adsorbers to retain the composition released by the burst capsules and release it gradually into the environment. Such inert substances are preferably chosen from calcium sulphate, with its various gradations of hydration, silicates, calcium carbonate, crushed porous clays - both natural and expanded, zeolite and similar materials. The size of this material particles is preferably less than that of the microcapsules and its weight is between 10% and 45% of the capsules.
The invent ion wi l l now be f urther descr ibed with references to the following examples of use:
EXAMPLE 1
Three devices according to the present invention containing essence of citronella oil were applied to a male adult subject. The devices were located as follows: one at the nape of the neck and one on each calf, leaving the head, arms and legs uncovered.
