Abstract

The invention relates to a headband for cooling the human skull which consists of a headband, produced from a safe plastic material, into which four compartments are integrated that are filled with a cooling agent such as glycerol or a similar substance. The cooling compartments are arranged so as to rest against the temples and the nape of the neck, thereby causing the outer blood vessels of the skull to constrict by reflex, which corresponds to the therapeutic aim of any migraine therapy. The inventive headband can also be used to favorably influence other pathological conditions such as nicotine or alcohol hangovers, cluster headaches, or the effects of excessive exposure to the sun. The headband is closed on the front by means of a hook-and-loop closure or the like. It is stored in the refrigerator and is used when needed.

Description

Anlegeband zum Kühlen des menschlichen SchädelsAttachment tape for cooling the human skull
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Anlegeband zum Kühlen des menschlichen Schädels, insbesondere zum Kühlen von schmerzartigen Zuständen, bestehend aus einem, um den Kopf anzulegenden, mit Kühlkammern versehenen Teil.The invention relates to an application tape for cooling the human skull, in particular for cooling pain-like conditions, consisting of a part provided with cooling chambers to be placed on the head.
Die Erfindung findet Anwendung bei der Behandlung von schmerzbedingten Zuständen, wie sonnen- oder föhnbedingten Kopfschmerzen, sogenannten vasomotorischen Kopfschmerzen (die Gefässnerven betreffend) , Nasenbluten, Alkohol- oder Nikotinkater, Wetterfühligkeit sowie Migräne und Spannungskopfschmerzen.The invention finds application in the treatment of pain-related conditions, such as sun- or blow-dryer-related headaches, so-called vasomotor headaches (concerning the vascular nerves), nosebleeds, alcohol or nicotine hangover, sensitivity to weather, migraines and tension headaches.
Bei diesen oben genannten Schmerzzuständen gehen die Blutgefässe spastisch auseinander. Um die Blutgefässe wieder zu verengen, bzw. zu normalisieren, ist es bereits bekannt die betreffenden Bereiche örtlich zu kühlen.With these pain states mentioned above, the blood vessels diverge. In order to constrict or normalize the blood vessels again, it is already known to locally cool the areas concerned.
Darüber hinaus ist in der DE 3203 784 eine Vorrichtung, mit der unter anderem eine Kühlung von Teilen des menschlichen oder tierischen Körpers vorgenommen werden kann, beschrieben.In addition, DE 3203 784 describes a device with which, among other things, parts of the human or animal body can be cooled.
Die Vorrichtung ist als Hohlkörper in Form eines Wickels, Umschlages, einer Kompresse oder einer Voll- oder Teilmaske gestaltet, welche mit einem Kühlmittel gefüllt werden kann. Diese Vorrichtung ist besonders zur Kühlung bei Kopfschmerzen vorgesehen.The device is designed as a hollow body in the form of a wrap, envelope, compress or full or partial mask, which can be filled with a coolant. This device is particularly intended for cooling headaches.
Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass mit der Vorrichtung keine Anpassung an die jeweilige Schädelform des Patienten bei zu behandelnden Kopfschmerzen möglich ist. Ausserdem ist die Vorrichtung relativ aufwendig und umständlich.The disadvantage here is that the device does not allow adaptation to the patient's respective skull shape in the case of a headache to be treated. In addition, the device is relatively complex and cumbersome.
Weiterhin ist von mir bereits unter G 94 10 267.8 ein aufsetzbares Teil, welches als elastisch den Schädel teilkreisartig umspannender Haltebügel angelegt wird, und mit mehreren Halterungen zur Aufnahme von Kühlteile versehen ist, beschrieben.Furthermore, I have already described an attachable part under G 94 10 267.8, which is designed as a retaining bracket that elastically encompasses the skull like a part circle, and is provided with several holders for receiving cooling parts.
Hierbei sind zur Herstellung verschiedene Materialien und Arbeitsgänge notwendig, was sich als zu aufwendig und umständlich erwies. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Anlegeband zum Kühlen des menschlichen Schädels zur Behandlung von Kopfschmerzen zu entwickeln, welches von geringem Gewicht, einfach herstellbar, leicht handhabbar, hautverträglich sowie wiederverwendbar ist und sich in einem Stück herstellen lässt.Different materials and work steps are necessary for the production, which turned out to be too complex and cumbersome. The invention is therefore based on the object of developing an attachment tape for cooling the human skull for the treatment of headaches which is light in weight, simple to produce, easy to handle, skin-friendly and reusable and can be produced in one piece.
Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe wie folgt gelösst:According to the invention, the object is achieved as follows:
In einem Plastikband sind 4 mit Glycerin, oder einem ähnlichen Kühlmittel, gefüllte Kammern eingelassen. Diese Kühlkammern sind derart an dem Band angeordnet, dass zwei Kammern dieA plastic band contains 4 chambers filled with glycerin or a similar coolant. These cooling chambers are arranged on the belt in such a way that two chambers

Als vorteilhaft hat sich erwiesen, dass die Schläfen- und Nackenkammern auf jeder Seite miteinander verbunden sind, um dadurch temperaturbedingte Volumenveränderangen auszugleichen. Darüberhinaus ist eine derartige Anordnung zum Füllen der Kühlkammern vonIt has proven to be advantageous that the temple and neck chambers are connected on each side to compensate for temperature-related changes in volume. In addition, such an arrangement for filling the cooling chambers of

Klettverschluss am Kopf befestigt, dass der Nacken und die Schläfen gekühlt werden, wodurch sich reflektorisch die dortigen Blutgefässe verengen.Velcro fastens to the head so that the neck and temples are cooled, which causes the blood vessels there to narrow.
Die Kühlung medizinisch definierter Areale sollen Kopfschmerzen verschiedener Art lindern, bzw. beheben.The cooling of medically defined areas is said to alleviate or remedy headaches of various types.
Befestigt wird die stirnbandartige Vorrichtung durch Klettverschlüsse. Hierbei ist darauf zu achten, dass die Kühlkammern auf den Schläfen und im Nacken aufliegen um dort zur Wirkung zu gelangen.The headband-like device is fastened by Velcro fasteners. It is important to ensure that the cooling chambers rest on the temples and neck in order to be effective.
Es ist auch möglich andere Verschlüsse, etwa Klett-Öse-Klett oder Ahnliches zu verwenden.It is also possible to use other closures, such as hook-and-loop fasteners or the like.
Das erfindungsgemässe Kühlband sollte selbstverständlich aus unbedenklichem Material bestehen, welches aus hygienischen Gründen leicht zu reinigen ist.The cooling belt according to the invention should of course consist of harmless material which is easy to clean for hygienic reasons.
Selbstverständlich kann man das Kühlband auch in einem, also wie ein Schlauch, herstellen und mit einem Kühlmittel gefüllt anwenden. Hierbei geht jedoch der eigentliche medizinische, sowie der angenehme lokale Effekt verloren.Of course, you can also make the cooling belt in one, like a hose, and use it filled with a coolant. However, the actual medical and pleasant local effects are lost.
Durch genau vorgeschriebene Anwendung der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung, d.h. die Kühlkammern genau dort wirken zu lassen, wo man am Schädel am ehesten die Blutgefässe erreichen und stimmulieren kann, war es bereits nach kurzen Behandlungen gelungen, die vorstehend genannten Schmerzzustände wirkungsvoll zu beeinflussen bzw zu beheben. Through precisely prescribed use of the device according to the invention, ie to allow the cooling chambers to act exactly where the blood vessels on the skull are most likely to be reached and stimulated, it was possible, after short treatments, to effectively influence or remedy the aforementioned pain conditions.
Nachfolgend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmässig beschrieben.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in principle with reference to the drawing.
Es zeigen:Show it:
Fig.1 die Gesamtansicht des erfindungsgemässen Anlegebandes1 shows the overall view of the application tape according to the invention
Fig.2 die Rückansicht des erfindungsgemässen Anlegebandes am menschlichen Kopf angelegt2 shows the rear view of the application tape according to the invention applied to the human head
Fig.3 die Seitenansicht des erfindungsgemässen Anlegebandes am menschlichen Kopf angelegt.3 shows the side view of the inventive application tape on the human head.
Das erfindungsgemässe Anlegeband besteht aus einer ca 80 cm langen Plastikfolie (1), in die 4 Kühlkammern (2) eingelassen sind. Die Kühlkammern sind jeweils auf jeder Seite miteinander verbunden (3). An den jeweiligen Enden des Bandes sind die dazugehörigen Klettverschlussteile (4) angebracht.The application tape according to the invention consists of an approximately 80 cm long plastic film (1) into which 4 cooling chambers (2) are embedded. The cooling chambers are connected to each other on each side (3). The corresponding Velcro parts (4) are attached to the respective ends of the band.
Wie in Fig. 2 und 3 erkennbar, ist die Vorrichtung gleich einem Stirnband am Schädel anlegbar, sodass die Kühlkammern dem Nacken- und dem Schläfenbereich aufliegen, und dort ihre Wirkung entfalten können.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the device can be placed on the skull like a headband, so that the cooling chambers rest on the neck and temple area and can develop their effect there.
Es ist zweckmässig die Kühlkammern seitlich oval, und im Nackenbereich rechteckig zu formen.It is advisable to shape the cooling chambers laterally oval and rectangular in the neck area.
Selbstverständlich sind hier auch andere geometrische Möglichkeiten vorstellbar.Of course, other geometrical possibilities are also conceivable here.
Ebenfalls ist es wie oben erwähnt möglich das Kühlsystem in einem, also gleich einem Schlauch anzufertigen, was aber den zu erreichenden Effekt nicht wiederspiegelt. It is also possible, as mentioned above, to manufacture the cooling system in one, that is, a hose, but this does not reflect the effect to be achieved.
