Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de refroidissement/chauffage permettant de réguler la température d'un lobe d'oreille, un dispositif de commande extérieur destiné à un dispositif de refroidissement/chauffage portable permettant de réguler la température d'un lobe d'oreille et un dispositif de régulation de la température d'un lobe d'oreille. La majorité des femmes souffrent de bouffées de chaleur pendant la ménopause. On peut atténuer les bouffées de chaleur en refroidissant le lobe d'oreille, permettant ainsi d'améliorer le bien-être de la personne. Le lobe de l'oreille est situé très près de l'hypothalamus qui sert de centre de commande des fonctions corporelles telles que la régulation de la température corporelle et qui répond à des stimuli internes et externes, ce qui permette ainsi d'effectuer des adaptations. On peut ainsi obtenir des effets de refroidissement de type impulsionnel qui permettent au corps de refroidir facilement. L'objet de la présente invention est donc défini par la fourniture d'un dispositif de refroidissement/chauffage portable amélioré destiné à réguler la température d'un lobe d'oreille et pouvant servir en même temps d'élément décoratif.
