Definitions

  • BIO-REGENERATION BRACELET BIO-REGENERATION BRACELET.
  • the present invention relates to devices used for the bio-stimulation of the human body and particularly refers to a bio-regeneration bracelet, used for reliving the fatigue or stress phenomena which can affect the human body.
  • T.E.N.S. transcutaneous electric stimulation
  • magnetic stimulation with the purpose of relieving stress phenomena.
  • the acupressure consists in the central nervous stimulation, through acuminate spikes, having relaxing effects on the body.
  • the transcutaneous electric stimulation is effected by means of two electrodes, contacting the skin, between which a current passes that, acting on nervous, helps the endorphins production and has biological calming effects.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a device fit to provide bio- regeneration effects allowing the patient at the same time to move freely and completely independence from unmovable apparatuses.
  • Further object is to propose a device fit to combine and provide at the same time at least two of the salutary principles such as acupressure and electric stimulation currents, or acupressure and magnetic currents.
  • a further object is to provide a device of simple production, of safe and easy usage, and also of low cost.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of the bio-regeneration bracelet, subject of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 and 3 show perspective views of wrists, respectively left and right, in which are highlighted the stimulation points of the bracelet;
  • FIG. 4 shows a front view of a second embodiment of the bracelet, subject of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows a front view of a variant of the bracelet.
  • numeral 1 indicates a bracelet with toroidal shape including an opening 4, contact means 7, an adjustment hinge 2 and stimulation means 8.
  • the opening 4 is fit for allowing the wearing of the bracelet 1 around a hand wrist 5, and defines the two bracelet ends.
  • the contact means 7 is rotationally engaged to one end of the bracelet 1 by means of the adjustment hinge 2 and supports a plurality of relieves 3, displaced on the internal part of the contact means 7, or namely the part faced to the wrist 5.
  • Said relieves 3 that in the preferred embodiment are two, have a rounded or slightly sharpened profile.
  • the stimulation means 8, fixed in correspondence of the bracelet portion facing the opening 4, is essentially constituted by an electric stimulator 9, preferably powered with a battery or an accumulator, and is provided with switch means, know but not shown, in order to switch off the power.
  • the battery or the accumulator is inside the bracelet 1 or fixed thereto.
  • the bracelet 1 is made preferably of plastics, that is insulating in correspondence of the portion contacting the skin, while the relieves 3 are made of conductor material and are electrically connected with the stimulation means 8, so being electrodes for the output of a stimulating current or electrostimulation.
  • the hinge 2 allows the movement of the contact means 7 in the approaching or removing directions with respect to the wrist 5, respectively in correspondence of an operative condition O, in which the bracelet 1 is worn on the wrist 5 and the relieves 3 of the contact means 7 are pressed against the wrist 5, and in correspondence of an inactive condition I, in which the relieves 3 are faced to the wrist 5 without touching this latter and, therefore, without pressing the wrist.
  • the number 6 indicates the optimal stimulation points on the wrist, so-called "trigger", which, according to the known principles of the acupuncture and the reflexology techniques, are the main confluence points of the nervous endings of the wrist.
  • points 6 are the main application positions of the bracelet because they are generally the positions of the acupuncture needles or of the electrodes for the electrostimulation.
  • the relieves 3 besides performing the electrode function to deliver the stimulation current from the stimulation means 8, for instance, opportunely activated through the switch means, having also the function of pressure members fit to effect the acupressure and therefore to induce in the body a second salutary effect.
  • the bracelet 1 in correspondence of operative condition O, carries out in continuos way two salutary effects and namely the electrostimulation and the acupressure.
  • the hinge 2 adjustment depends on the dimensions of the wrist 5 and that, once adjusted the hinge position and consequently the pressure of the contact means 7 onto the wrist 5, this latter pressure keeps the preset position of the contact means 7 in stable position until when the user looses the hold and removes the contact means 7 from the wrist 5.
  • the impulses sent by the electrostimulator 9 are rectangular shaped, modulated in frequency with negative peak or spike or with va ⁇ able frequency, for instance such as TENS biphase, and also adjustable by means of a regulator, known and not shown, in order to guarantee an approp ⁇ ate customization of the electrical stimulation
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the bracelet, in which the stimulation means 8 is constituted by a generator 10 of magnetic field fit to produce a magnetic flow
  • the magnetic field, and the consequent flow, is “channeled” and thus “irradiated” by means of an antenna 11 positioned inside the bracelet 1, toward the w ⁇ st 5, fit to induce into the w ⁇ st some stimulation currents magnetically o ⁇ ginated helpful for the whole body of the user
  • the relieves 3 are not elect ⁇ cally connected to the stimulation means and have only the function of pressure members and thus carry out the acupressure effect
  • the magnetic field made by the generator 10 is preferably of the type having high frequency with va ⁇ able modulation to facilitate the energy abso ⁇ tion by the human tissues, so favo ⁇ ng an optimal bio-regeneration effect
  • the magnetic field mtensity does not damage the bracelet user and is adjustable by means of a regulator, not shown, in order to guarantee an approp ⁇ ate customization of the stimulation coming from the same magnetic field
  • the bracelet 1 provides a double helpful effect to the user, but in this case said effects are caused by the acupressure and the electromagnetic therapy
  • a va ⁇ ant of the bracelet 1 is underlined a va ⁇ ant of the bracelet 1, either in the preferred or the second embodiment, in which a further timing device 12 is included, such as watch and/or timer, through which, for instance, it is possible to program or anyhow to keep under control comfortably the time interval when the bracelet is worn or is kept in operative condition O.
  • a further timing device 12 such as watch and/or timer, through which, for instance, it is possible to program or anyhow to keep under control comfortably the time interval when the bracelet is worn or is kept in operative condition O.
  • the bracelet 1 in any way let the user to move freely, allowing this latter to do all the daily normal activities, wearing the bio-regeneration bracelet and thus enjoying the benefit effects.
  • the bio-regeneration bracelet has no counterindication and so whoever can use it, including the patients who cannot use the electrostimulation or the magnetic currents, for instance, who have pacemaker or who suffer epilepsy. These categories of patients in fact can profit anyway, being able to move freely, by the remedient effect coming from the acupressure, switching off the other function of the bracelet.
  • the bracelet 1 can be also worn around a foot ankle or shaped as a collar and worn consequently around the neck. Such bracelet 1 can also be miniaturized as a finger ring.
  • the main advantage of the present invention is to provide a bracelet fit to supply bio-regeneration effects allowing at the same time the user to move freely and to be independent from unmovable apparatuses.
