Light rays radiation cloth for medical treatment

Claim 2

A light rays radiation cloth for emitting light rays from only one surface for medical treatment comprising a flexible basic sheet and a flexible transparent sheet spaced from said basic sheet, a plurality of optical fiber means disposed between said basic sheet and said transparent sheet, a light rays connector for supplying light rays to said optical fiber means, said optical fiber means being in contact with said transparent sheet, said optical fiber means being spaced from said basic sheet, and a titanic oxide membrane disposed between said optical fiber means and said basic sheet such that said titanic oxide membrane precludes light rays emitted by said optical fiber means from passing outwardly through said basic sheet as said light rays emitted from said optical fiber means are dispersed by said titanic oxide membrane to pass outwardly of the radiation cloth through said transparent sheet.

Claim 11

A light rays radiation cloth according to claim 9, wherein said reflecting means comprises a reflecting plate in contact with said other longitudinal ends of said parallel fibers.

Claim 12

A light rays radiation cloth according to claim 1, wherein said basic sheet comprises a textile material.

Claim 15

A light rays radiation cloth for emitting light rays from only one surface for medical treatment comprising a flexible basic material and a flexible transparent material spaced from said basic material, a plurality of parallel optical fibers disposed between said basic material and said transparent material, a light rays connector connected to one longitudinal end of said plurality of parallel fibers for supplying light rays to one longitudinal end of each of said parallel optical fibers, reflecting means on the other longitudinal ends of said parallel fibers operable to reflect and transmit light rays back into the respective fiber in a direction toward said connector, each of said parallel fibers having one surface facing and juxtaposed to said basic material and another opposite surface facing and juxtaposed to said transparent material, optical paste means bonding said other surface to said transparent material, said one surface being spaced from said basic material, a titanic oxide membrane disposed between said one surface and said basic material such that said titanic oxide membrane precludes light rays emitted by said parallel optical fibers from passing outwardly through said basic material as said light rays emitted from said parallel optical fibers are dispersed by said titanic oxide membrane to pass outwardly of the radiation cloth through said transparent material, and bonding means bonding said coated one surface of said optical fibers to said basic material.

Claim 16

The combination comprising an item of clothing and a light radiation cloth affixed to said item of clothing for providing a light rays bath to a person wearing said clothing, said light radiation cloth comprising a flexible basic material and a flexible transparent material spaced from said basic material, a plurality of parallel optical fibers disposed between said basic material and said transparent material, a light rays connector connected to one longitudinal end of said plurality of parallel fibers for supplying light rays to one longitudinal end of each of said parallel optical fibers, reflecting means on the other longitudinal ends of said parallel fibers operable to reflect and transmit light rays back into the respective fiber in a direction toward said connector, each of said parallel fibers having one surface facing and juxtaposed to said basic material and another opposite surface facing and juxtaposed to said transparent material, optical paste means bonding said other surface to said transparent material, said one surface being spaced from said basic material, a titanic oxide membrane disposed between said one surface and said basic material such that said titanic oxide membrane precludes light rays emitted by said parallel optical fibers from passing outwardly through said basic material as said light rays emitted from said parallel optical fibers are dispersed by said titanic oxide membrane to pass outwardly of the radiation cloth through said transparent material, and bonding means bonding said coated one surface of said optical fibers to said basic material, said radiation cloth being affixed to said item of clothing such that a person wearing said item of clothing receives a light-bath from said radiation cloth.

Claim 17
