Abstract
Abstract The apparatus permitting the use of heat as a therapeutic principle for the neuroarticular pathologies (arthrosis, arthritis, sciatica etc.) comprising an independent source of heat (20) which develops namely heat by catalytic reaction of a fuel and a belt (37) for supporting said source adaptable to that zone of the body which it is desired to treat. A layer of material resistant to heat of well determined thickness and thermal conductivity is interposed between the body and the source of heat (20) to regulate the surface temperature fixed by the therapy.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An independent heating apparatus in particular for neuroarticular pathology therapy, characterised by comprising an independent source of heat; a layer of material resistant to heat applied to the opposite faces of the source of heat adapted to be arranged parallel to the surface of the body of the patient so as to determine the surface temperature fixed by the therapy, the said material provided on one of the two faces of clasping means with supporting means and holding in position of the source of heat according to the zone of the body which it is desired to subject to therapy.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
An independent heating apparatus in particular for neuroarticular pathology therapy, characterised by comprising an independent source of heat; a layer of material resistant to heat applied to the opposite faces of the source of heat adapted to be arranged parallel to the surface of the body of the patient so as to determine the surface temperature fixed by the therapy, the said material provided on one of the two faces of clasping means with supporting means and holding in position of the source of heat according to the zone of the body which it is desired to subject to therapy.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
79 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claim, characterised in that the source of heat is constituted by a benzine heater suitable for the pocket, formed by a metal casing of substantially parallelepiped shape containing the fuel reservoir and the catalytic reaction for the production of heat without flame,the said casing being provided with vents for communication with the outside for the letting in of the air necessary for the catalytic reaction and for the exit of the generated heat.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
46 words
An apparatus according to the preceding c1aims, charac terised in that the layers of material resistant to heat applied to the faces of the independent source of heat is realized with wool felt of the thickness of three millimeters, density 0.25 and hardness DIN 61200 M4.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
46 words
An apparatus according to the preceding c1aims, charac terised in that the layers of material resistant to heat applied to the faces of the independent source of heat is realized with wool felt of the thickness of three millimeters, density 0.25 and hardness DIN 61200 M4.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
105 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterised by the presence, on the layer of felt opposite that intended to adhere to the supporting means, of five bores having diameters equal to five millimetres and aligned on the arms of a cross disposed according to the vents of the casing of the source of heat and, on the layer of felt intended to adhere to the supporting means, four bores in position corresponding to that of the bores of the opposite face occupying the three aligned positions along the smaller diameter of the casing of the source of heat and one of the remaining positions.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
51 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the clasping means of the independent source of heat to the supporting means of same are constituted by a pull-off tape with the female portion fixed to the said supporting means and the male portion fixed to the source of heat.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
97 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterised in that the supporting means of the source of heat,according to the lumber zone of the body, are constituted by a belt realized with a double layer of starched cotton fabric, provided with three portions of a female pull-off tape for the fixing of the independent source of heat in various positions, and provided in addition, on the extreme sides, with elastic tapes complete with adjusting clasps and an engaging member so as to allow a fixing of the belt to the body in circumferential positions like a girdle.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
67 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterised in that the elastic tapes, two in number for each of the extreme sides of the belt, depart from distinct positions on the said extreme sides and the two converge from one part to a rectangular link, and two from the other part, to a belt comprising consecutively a female portion and a male portion of a pull-off tape.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
100 words
An apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterised in that the supporting means of the source of heat according to the cervical zone of the body, are constituted by a belt made with a double layer of starched cotton fabric provided with a female portion of a pull-off tape and suitably fixed to the ends from which a continuous elastic tape derives, comprising adjusting clasps so as to allow a fixing of the belt to the body on a line which, after having gripped the cervical zone goes down the thorax, passes under the arm-pits and terminates on the back.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
An independent heating apparatus in particular for neu- roarticular pathology therapy according to the preceding claims and as described and illustrated for the purpose specified.
