D'autres caractéristiques ressortent de la description qui suit, faite avec référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :Other characteristics appear from the following description, made with reference to the attached drawing in which:
- la figure 1 représente schématiquement un dispositif électrique pour assurer une réduction de la masse grasse corporelle selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention.- Figure 1 schematically shows an electrical device for ensuring a reduction in body fat according to one embodiment of the invention.
Le dispositif électrique selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention est essentiellement constitué par une sangle 1 sensiblement rectangulaire dans le plan moyen de laquelle est noyé un conducteur 2 replié en brins successifs disposés longitudinalement par rapport à la sangle 1, de sorte que les brins successifs s'étendent sur la majeure partie de la longueur de la sangle, alternativement dans un sens puis dans l'autre. Dans cet exemple, les brins sont espacés l'un de l'autre et sont répartis sur la majeure partie de la largeur de la sangle.The electrical device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention 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. In this example, the strands are spaced from each other and are distributed over most of the width of the strap.
Les deux extrémités 3,4 du conducteur 2 sont reliées à un appareil 5, par exemple un transformateur ou un convertisseur, dont le circuit primaire est alimenté par le réseau au moyen d'une prise 6 par exemple, et qui délivre au conducteur 2 un courant électrique sous une basse tension et une basse fréquence. Pour certaines applications, il est envisageable de disposer plusieurs conducteurs, alimentés en parallèle ou en série par l'appareil 5, chaque conducteur correspondant à une partie de la surface de la sangle, ces parties étant juxtaposées dans la longueur ou dans la largeur de la sangle, ou bien les conducteurs étant enchevêtrés.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. For certain applications, it is possible to have several conductors, supplied in parallel or in series by the device 5, each conductor corresponding to a part of the surface of the strap, these parts being juxtaposed in the length or in the width of the strap, or the conductors are tangled.
L'appareil 5 reçoit par exemple du réseau une tension alternative de 230 V à 50 Hz et il délivre au conducteur 2 une basse tension alternative de 10 à 80 V et de préférence d'environ 40 V à une fréquence de 10 à 100 Hz et de préférence de 50 à 60 Hz. Le conducteur 2 est de préférence un conducteur à plusieurs fils, mécaniquement plus souple qu'un conducteur à un seul fil, d'une résistance électrique comprise par exemple entre 0,5 et 5 Ohm/mètre, et de préférence entre 1,5 et 2 Ohm/mètre. Dans un exemple particulier de réalisation, la résistance est de 1,74 Ohm/mètre. Le nombre des brins disposés longitudinalement dans la sangle est par exemple compris entre 4 et plusieurs dizaines, notamment entre 12 et 28, et de préférence égal à 18. La longueur de chaque brin est de l'ordre de lm et deux brins voisins sont écartés l'un de l'autre d'une distance de l'ordre de lcm.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.
De chaque côté du plan moyen du conducteur 2, la sangle 1 comporte une couche d'isolant thermique et de préférence de mousse de silicone, par exemple, l'ensemble étant recouvert d'une enveloppe en matière plastique thermo-soudée, par exemple en polyéthylène.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.
La sangle 1 a par exemple une longueur de 1,4 m et une largeur de 0,4 m, environ, les brins du conducteur ayant une longueur d'environ 1 m. Pour l'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention, la sangle 1 est enroulée, à la manière d'une ceinture, par exemple autour des hanches d'une personne. La souplesse de la sangle et sa masse assurent son maintien en position sur une personne allongée. Le dispositif est branché sur le réseau pour une séance dont la durée peut aller de 15 à 90 mn, et de préférence de 30 à 60 mn..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. For the use of the device according to the invention, 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.
Lorsqu'un courant alternatif passe dans le conducteur 2, il crée un champ électrostatique alternatif normal à la surface de la sangle, c'est-à-dire pratiquement normal à la surface du corps recouvert de la sangle, et un champ électromagnétique dû aux variations du courant dans le conducteur et aux courants induits dans la peau du corps par les variations de courant.When 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.
Après une dizaine de séances, la réduction spécifique des surcharges adipeuses est constatée. Cette réduction peut être évaluée en poids, à partir de mesures de bio-impédancemétrie, et en volume, par exemple par mesure du tour de hanches dans l'exemple décrit. Cette réduction ne se limite pas aux zones recouvertes par la sangle, par exemple les hanches, mais elle est aussi constatée dans des zones éloignées de la sangle, par exemple les genoux, les mollets ou les bras. Le dispositif selon l'invention présente plusieurs avantages et notamment : une grande simplicité de mise en œuvre, une grande sécurité résultant de la faible tension utilisée (40V par exemple) et de la structure isolante de la sangle (mousse de silicone et enveloppe plastique) efficace aussi bien du point de vue électrique que du point de vue thermique, car ce n'est pas un effet thermique qui est recherché.After ten sessions, the specific reduction in fat overload is noted. This reduction can be evaluated by weight, from bio-impedancemetry measurements, and by volume, for example by measurement of the hip measurement in the example described. This reduction is not limited to the areas covered by the strap, for example the hips, but it is also observed in areas remote from the strap, for example the knees, the calves or the arms. 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.
Dans l'exemple décrit d'une sangle réversible, le conducteur 2 est dans le plan moyen de la sangle, mais cette disposition n'est qu'optionnelle. En particulier, les brins de rang impair peuvent être situés dans un même plan, et les brins de rang pair dans un même plan distinct du précédent. Par ailleurs, la sangle peut être munie de moyens d'accrochage, auto- agrippants par exemple, pour assurer son maintien en position.In the example described of a reversible strap, the conductor 2 is in the mean plane of the strap, but this arrangement is only optional. In particular, 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. Furthermore, the strap can be provided with hooking means, self-gripping for example, to ensure that it is held in position.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut comprendre plusieurs sangles, placées sur différentes parties du corps. Chaque sangle peut entourer totalement ou partiellement une partie du corps. Elle peut aussi être disposée longitudinalement ou obliquement par rapport au corps. 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.
