Radiating electromechanical apparatus for treating scalp against baldness

Claim 2

1- A radiating electromechanical apparatus for treating scalp,characterized in that it comprises at least a laser source (l),'the output beam whereof is diffused, offset and conveyed,either directly or through optical fibers (5),at the scalp overall extension,means being moreover provided for continuously varying the impinging points of the individual rays or beams on said scalp, in such a way as to maintain the direction of said beams perpendicular to said scalp.

Claim 3

2- A radiating electromechanical apparatus,according to the preceding claim,characterized in that said laser source (1) is enclosed in a box-like body(2) of tubular or flattened shape and is energized by a supply device (3),said laser source,of the helium-neon type,having its output coupled to a diffusing- offsetting member (4),effective to diffract the electromagnetic radiation in a plurality of beams.

Claim 4

3- An apparatus,according to claim 1,characterized in that said diffracted beams impinge on a multeplici- ty of optic fibers (5),coupled to corresponding small holes (6) formed on the surface of a spherical bowl (7) mounted on a movable assembly consisting of an open frame (9) articulated on a bracked element (10) supporting said laser source (1).

Claim 5

4- An apparatus,according to claim l,characterized in that said frame (9) is able of swinging about its pivot axis (11) as actuated by a motorized kinematic assembly (12),said spherical bowl being pivoted on said frame (9) at its diametrically opposite two points substantially perpendicularly with respect to said axis (11) and being also subjected to a swinging movement about its pivot axis, as actuated by a second motorized kinematic assembly (13).

Claim 6

5- An apparatus,according to claim l,characterized in that said laser source (1) directly moves on a bowl (14,14') by rotating along substantially circunpherential guides (16) in which case a plurality of laser sources (2,2') being provided moving along corresponding guides (17) having converging trajectories. 6- An apparatus,according to claim l,characterized in that the laser source(l)/movable equipment (9) assembly,or the laser source (l)/spherical bowl (14,14') assembly,are enclosed in a helmet member (18) provided with a front portion (19) thereon there are arranged all of the controls necessary for the proper operation of said apparatus and a display being provided (20) which is controlled by a programmable timing device.

Claim 7

7- An apparatus,according to claim l,characterized in that its operation depends on the interruption of a light beam (21) transmitted to a photocell supported on the front portion of said helmet member (18). 8- An apparatus,according to claim l,characterized in that it comprises a small helmet member (30) thereto there are coupled a plurality of optic fibers (5) distributed through the overall extension of the scalp to be treated,said otical fibers being coupled to said small helmet (30) by means of a focalizing connector (31).

Claim 8

9- An apparatus,according to claim 8,characterized in that said focalizing connector comprises a threaded pin (32),provided with a flange (33) and an axial hole (34) for coupling to said optic fiber (5),said threaded pin (32) being effective to be inserted into holes (35) as defined through said small helmet and engaging with a member (36) provided,at the other end whereof,with a focalizing lens (37).
