Definitions

  • This invention refers to a bed for the reduction of cellulite including at least a sub- woofer.
  • this invention refers to a vibroacoustic bed equipped with reflex ducts.
  • the resonant effect leads to the production of internal vibrations, by the treated subject, which are similar to a massage which spreads from the inside out.

  • Foresaid box is divided into two compartments by a vertical septum provided with an opening passing through. In said opening is housed the outer edge of the cone of at least one electrodynamic sub- woofer, positioned with its longitudinal axis horizontal.
  • the purpose of this invention is making available a vibroacoustic bed to users allowing the reduction of cellulite both on the whole body and through localized stimulation.

  • Inside the second compartment there are two further lateral and frontal openings.
  • the dual load reflex system is used when the subject lies on the bed and the sound must be radiated on the whole body.
  • the transmission of sound occurs through reflex ducts with the outlet in the upper part of the box.
  • the lateral and frontal openings of the second compartment are closed by plugs.
  • loudspeakers such as Woofer 15" and 18", which are characterized by a low frequency resonance and by a sound pressure of 30 Hz which is significant (above 70dB spl).
  • the symmetrical loaded system is preferable in case the subject, due to his reduced capacity motor, is not able to lie down on the bed.
  • a localized stimulation operates while the subject sits down on a chair.
  • the reflex ducts, with the outlet in the upper part of the box are closed by plugs, while on each the frontal and lateral openings of the second compartment, the extremity of a flexible hose is fixed.
  • the sound propagates through lateral and frontal openings and from here in to the localized stimulation of the subj ect through flexible hoses.
  • Switching from one system to another can be easy implemented by closing the lateral and frontal openings and by leaving open the reflex ducts which lead in the upper part of the box, otherwise by closing the foresaid ducts and leaving open the lateral and frontal openings.
  • the base of the bed which is made of the foresaid box, is used not only as a support to treat the subject but as sound-box of generated sound sinusoidal waves by allowing the diffusion of useful frequencies in the supported area.
  • the sub-woofer can also emit sinusoidal multi frequency signals or sinusoidal signals generated simultaneously so that the application of more sound stress leads to more resonant specific areas at the same time, again based on the effect diapason.

It is necessary to calculate the width of the two compartments of the loudspeaker (Va and Vb) separated by the septum 1.1, frequency agree of the two Helmotz resonators (Fa and Fb) formed by the two compartments with the reflex ducts 1.3, 1.4 and the lengths (La and Lb) and diameters (Da and Db) of the two reflex ducts 1.3, 1.4. In sizing, a systematic response, possibly flat on the requested range, (30Hz-40Hz) and an adequate sound pressure level for the lowest frequency (30Hz) must be ensured.
  • the four reflex upper ducts are closed 1.3,1.4 and the side openings 1.5 are used, with the symmetrical loaded system.
  • the higher frequency should be chosen that is 19.8 Hz, but in this case the flexible hose 3 is too short and it does not allow full operation.
  • the only solution in that case is to use two flexible hoses 3, in which case the length of each flexible hose 3 doubles.
  • the reference pressure is more than adequate, more than 78 dB in range between 10 and 20 Hz.
  • the maximum pressure is excellent, between 92 and 103 dB in the same frequencies interval.
  • the impedance is not a cause for concern, while the maximum power at 10 Hz must be limited at 20 W.
  • the two flexible hoses 3 can stand on the front or on the side of the bed.
  • Vibroacoustic bed as conceived, is subject to further modifications and variations, all falling in the area of the inventive concept. Furthermore, all details are replaceable with others technically equivalent.
