Description

"ELECTRICAL IMPULSES EMISSING DEVICE DIRECTED TO THE BRAIN"

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an electric pulse emitting device that is directed to the oval cells in order to avoid or reduce some discomforts among them which causes headache or migraine in humans, said invention is directed to the medical field specifically to the branch of neurosurgeons and / or any person who requires a device with the aforementioned characteristics.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Within the field of medicine, different systems or methods have been tried to cure or mitigate the pain caused by migraine without obtaining satisfactory results, so that the ancient Chinese doctors used the so-called acupuncture with great capacity, inserting small and thin needles to counteract some pains that afflict the human body but never headache.

At present it is known that within the energy lines or conduits of the human body are oval cells, which when stimulated cause an effect known in acupuncture as "arrow and bow" achieving remotely nullify certain conditions.

According to the acupuncture law, we find that the headache (migraine) is usually of vascular origin, this law indicates that there are, dps important points with which I can nullify the vascularization, one of these is the effect that creates the Neurocinaza-forming enzyme quickly removing Headache (migraine) without causing any side effects.

Some scientists have studied the effect created by mechanical means to remove pain like acupuncture itself and ensure that the human body uses it as a stimulus to create a natural drug called Endorphin, which in its structure is comparable with morphine, this endorphin is which is responsible for disappearing any trace of headache (migraine) pain, stimulating the oval cells properly. Stimulation by electrical means is very common in medical practice and is applied in order to eliminate the indiscriminate of drugs that bring with it a number of harmful side effects for the host who is consuming it.

It should be noted that currently there are a number of methods on the market that propose to reduce, attack and eliminate the pain caused by human headache (migraine) some of these methods only mitigate this discomfort without achieving strong results and satisfactory for the user

The device that my invention proposes has been designed to solve said problem to the satisfaction of the user; The device has in its structure an electronic stimulator that emits impulses with a frequency and intensity determined by a specialist according to the user, said invention was created in order to eliminate pain naturally, while reducing the nerosinase generating enzyme , the stimulator device that my invention proposes is small, portable and easy to use, even when it is small it manages to stimulate oval cells with great power without causing any side effect or risk to the user.

The characteristic details of this new device are clearly shown and illustrated in the following description and accompanying drawings.

The following is a list of the symbols used in the electronic circuit nomenclature of the device described:

s Power switch,

B 9 volt battery,

IC Integrated circuit called dual timer Rl 100 ohms resistor,

Q NPN transistor,

T voltage transformer,

D rectifying diode,

R2 Resistance of 750 khoms, R3 Resistance of 390 ohms,

Cl Capacitor of 1 microfarads,

R4 Resistance of 15 khoms,

C2 Capacitor of .1 microfarads,

R7 150 ohms resistor, C3 0.1 microfarad capacitor,

R5 10 kh resistor,

R6 Resistance of 47 khoms,

C4 4700 pf capacitor, C5 Capacitor of 1 microfararad, C6 Capacitor of 0.047 microfarads, R9 Potentiometer of 50 khoms, R8 Resistance of 47 khoms, Jl and J2 Electrodes.

In view of these figures, it can be seen how the electric pulse emitting device that is recommended is structured by a battery connector (1) that carries positive and negative energy through a positive current cable (2) and a current cable negative (3), to an electronic circuit (3) which is constituted by a switch (4) which energizes the circuit (5) with a voltage equal to 9 VOLTS through a battery (6) in common use, the Integrated circuit (7) is known as 2 timers or "dual timer" (for its acronym in English). Rl functions as a current limiter for IC; R2, R3 and Cl are part of the first timer "timer 1". R5, R6 and C4 are part of the second timer "timer 2", R4 and C3 form the trigger circuit "trigger" for its second timer "timer 2", R7 polarizes the base of transistor Q, C2 it serves as a noise eliminator in leg 11 of IC, R8 and R9 together form a voltage divider which controls the amplitude of the pulse applied to electrodes Jl and J2, in addition R9 functions as a current limiter to adjust the pulse amplitude with a maximum of 200 volts with a duration of 2 ms (milliseconds) and an overload of no more than 10 ma (milli amps).

As already mentioned, circuit (5) is formed by 2 "dual timer" timers connected to each other sequentially, that is, at the end of the first cycle of timer 1 "timerl" begins the other. The first timer "timer 1" is a typical application of a stable "astable" circuit by its acronym in English, where the on and off times are controlled by R2, R3 and Cl. When closing S the circuit is energized and begins to Cl is loaded by means of R2 and R3, at this time the output (leg 5 of the IC) is going to a high level approximately equal to B. The capacitor Cl will be exposed exponentially until reaching 2/3 of B, now the discharge leg ( discharge of IC is grounded and Cl is discharged by R3 and leg 5 of IC goes to a low level, when the discharge of Cl reaches one third (1/3) of B, leg 1 of IC is open and repeat the charge cycle through R2, R3 and Cl, when reaching 2/3 of B the repeat cycle is repeated, While the circuit remains energized this timer 1 "timer 1" will be oscillating at a frequency of approximately 2 Hz (hertz).

Timer 2 "timer 2" operates in a manner very similar to timer 1 "timer 1", except that its cycle is controlled by the trigger "trigger" leg 5 to 8 of IC by timer 1 "timer 1". When leg 8 of the "trigger" trigger receives the trigger pulse the circuit comprised by R5, R6 and C4 begins the charge cycle of C4 and in the same way when the voltage in leg 12 (threshold) reaches 2/3 of B, leg 13 of discharge IC will be grounded, causing capacitor C4 to discharge through R6.

These cycles will be repeated until another trigger pulse is received (leg 8 of IC), since this timer2 "timer2" is controlled by the first timer "timer 1", then the operating cycle will be approximately every 0.5 seconds the same at 2 hertz. (sec. = 2Hz.) The output of timer 2 "timer2", leg 9 of IC will be pulsing at a frequency of 2Hz (2 cycles per second). These pulses are applied to the transistor Q, this transistor in turn drives or controls the primary of the transformer T. Pulses of similar period (leg 9 of IC ping) will be applied to the primary of the transformer T which depending on the turn ratio (n2 : nl) the pulses will be transformed into the secondary. If the number of turns in the secondary is greater than the primary, the pulses will be amplified in the secondary as many times as the primary (n2 / nl).

The repetition period will be approximately 0.5 seconds or 2 Hz. Diode D will rectify the pulses in the secondary and these will charge to C6. R8 and R9 will function as a voltage divider to control the amplitude of the pulses applied to the electrodes Jl and J2, approximately the control will be 50% to 100% of the pulse amphmd through D, R9 in addition to being part of the Voltage divider will also serve as a current limiter that goes to electrodes Jl and J2. The effect as a limiter or potentiometer (14) increases the number of pulses if the adjustment is to the right and is null if it is completely to the left, then the effect is proportional to the position of the adjustment.

The current emitted by the electronic circuit is carried by a positive current cable (2) and a negative comment cable (3), which have a union or connection for female type cable (6) at its end, and are connected to the male type connections (8) that will carry the electric current through a positive energy cable (2) and a negative energy cable (3) to the contacts (9) for energy positive and (10) for negative energy, said contacts must be gold or copper.

These will transmit the electrical impulses through the arm to the brain causing the stimulation of the oval cells that will react producing a natural drug called Endorphine, which in its structure is comparable with morphine, and that is responsible for making all traces of pain disappear eliminating headache (migraine), unlike traditional systems that emit impulses of electrical energy to the body that mitigate other types of pain. This is placed inside a box (13) specially designed to protect the device.

It is established from this moment that the best known method or the best way provided by the applicant to carry out the claimed invention is that described above.

Thus, once the device described is structured, it is placed in a glove (15) which has a compartment or bag (16) arranged in its final part in which the device is inserted and an extension (17) which is placed between the arch of the index finger and the thumb by holding it on the rest of the piante by means of a female (18) and male (19) fastening tape. A space where the tape is applied is placed at the back of the glove. of female support (20) to the male support tape (21), the glove is placed around the wrist in the most distal fold of the anterior face of the wrist immediately above • I of the pisiform bone and inside the tendon of the cover above, the

at extension (17) in the middle of a line drawn from the interdigital membrane of the thumb at the confluence of the first and second metacarpanes or above the point of the folded fold when the thumb and index are approached, then the device is activated and transmitting the electrical impulses to the brain, stimulating the production of the enzyme Endorphin counteracting the headache caused by lack of blood supply.
