Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical device for ensuring a reduction of fat overloads which are part of the body fat mass.
- Body fat is made up of all of the adipose tissue and statistically represents 15 to 20% of body weight for an individual.
- Adipose tissue is distributed predominantly above the belt in men and below the belt in women. This localization suggested the idea of an action limited to the body area concerned when, for the sake of comfort or aesthetics, it appeared desirable to reduce body fat without resorting to a diet.
- the object of the invention is to provide an electrical device ensuring a reduction of fat overloads, and not requiring a diet.
- the invention relates to an electrical device for ensuring a reduction of adipose overloads, characterized in that it comprises at least one electrically insulating strap intended to cover at least one part of the body and in which is embedded at least one conductor supplied under low voltage and low frequency.
- the device creates, during its use, an alternating electrostatic field on the surface of the strap and an electromagnetic field due to the variations of the current in the conductor and the currents induced in the skin of the body;
- the conductor is folded in successive strands arranged longitudinally relative to the strap, alternately in one direction then in the other;
- the mean plane of the strands arranged in one direction and the mean plane of the strands arranged in the other direction are distinct; - the driver supply frequency is between 10 and 100
- the supply voltage of the conductor is between 10 and 80 V and preferably of the order of 40V;
- the conductor has a resistance between 0.5 and 5 Ohm / meter and preferably between 1.5 and 2 Ohm / meter;
- the strap comprises, on each side of the mean plane of the conductor, a layer of thermal insulator, and preferably of silicone foam;
- the strap has an outer casing
- the successive strands of the conductor are spaced about 0.5 to 5 cm, and preferably 1 cm; the strands of the conductor preferably extend over most of the length of the strap;
- the strands of the conductor are preferably distributed over the major part of the width of the strap.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows an electrical device for ensuring a reduction in body fat according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the electrical device essentially consists of a strap 1 substantially rectangular in the mean plane of which is embedded a conductor 2 folded in successive strands arranged longitudinally relative to the strap 1, so that the strands successive extend over most of the length of the strap, alternately in one direction then in the other.
- the strands are spaced from each other and are distributed over most of the width of the strap.
- the two ends 3, 4 of the conductor 2 are connected to a device 5, for example a transformer or a converter, the primary circuit of which is supplied by the network by means of a socket 6 for example, and which delivers to the conductor 2 a electric current at low voltage and low frequency.
- a device 5 for example a transformer or a converter, the primary circuit of which is supplied by the network by means of a socket 6 for example, and which delivers to the conductor 2 a electric current at low voltage and low frequency.
- a device 5 for example a transformer or a converter, the primary circuit of which is supplied by the network by means of a socket 6 for example, and which delivers to the conductor 2 a electric current at low voltage and low frequency.
- a device 5 for example a transformer or a converter, the primary circuit of which is supplied by the network by means of a socket 6 for example, and which delivers to the conductor 2 a electric current at low voltage and low frequency.
- the device 5 receives for example from the network an alternating voltage of 230 V at 50 Hz and it delivers to the conductor 2 a low alternating voltage of 10 to 80 V and preferably about 40 V at a frequency of 10 to 100 Hz and preferably from 50 to 60 Hz.
- the conductor 2 is preferably a multi-wire conductor, mechanically more flexible than a single-wire conductor, with an electrical resistance of, for example, between 0.5 and 5 Ohm / meter, and preferably between 1.5 and 2 Ohm / meter. In a particular embodiment, the resistance is 1.74 Ohm / meter.
- the number of strands arranged longitudinally in the strap is for example between 4 and several tens, in particular between 12 and 28, and preferably equal to 18. The length of each strand is of the order of lm and two neighboring strands are separated from each other from a distance of the order of lcm.
- the strap 1 On each side of the mean plane of the conductor 2, the strap 1 has a layer of thermal insulator and preferably of silicone foam, for example, the assembly being covered with an envelope of heat-sealed plastic material, for example in polyethylene.
- the strap 1 has for example a length of 1.4 m and a width of about 0.4 m, the strands of the conductor having a length of about 1 m.
- the strap 1 is wound, in the manner of a belt, for example around the hips of a person.
- the flexibility of the strap and its mass ensure that it is held in position on an elongated person.
- the device is connected to the network for a session whose duration can range from 15 to 90 minutes, and preferably from 30 to 60 minutes.
- an alternating current passes through the conductor 2, it creates an alternating electrostatic field normal to the surface of the strap, that is to say practically normal to the surface of the body covered with the strap, and an electromagnetic field due to the current variations in the conductor and the currents induced in the skin of the body by the variations of current.
- the device according to the invention has several advantages and in particular: great simplicity of implementation, great safety resulting from the low voltage used (40V for example) and from the insulating structure of the strap (silicone foam and plastic envelope) effective from both an electrical and a thermal point of view, since it is not a thermal effect which is sought.
- the conductor 2 is in the mean plane of the strap, but this arrangement is only optional.
- the strands of odd rank may be located in the same plane, and the strands of even rank in the same plane distinct from the previous one.
- the strap can be provided with hooking means, self-gripping for example, to ensure that it is held in position.
- the device according to the invention can comprise several straps, placed on different parts of the body.
- Each strap can completely or partially surround a part of the body. It can also be arranged longitudinally or obliquely relative to the body.
