20080046047, Feb 21, 2008

Filed:

Aug 21, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/507392

Inventors:

Daniel Jacobs - New York NY, US

International Classification:

A61F 7/00

US Classification:

607108, 607112

Abstract:

A therapy device incorporating a thermoelectric (Peltier) cell to enable therapeutic temperatures to be applied to a body. As current passes through the cells, heat is transferred from one surface of the cell to the other. Opposite directional current changes the heat transfer direction. A heat sink may be in thermal communication with the thermoelectric cell to permit low temperatures to be achieved for a significant period of time without overheating of the thermoelectric cell. A fan may be positioned adjacent the heat sink to keep the heat sinks cool. In some arrangements, pouches containing a fluid are used as an intermediary between the thermoelectric cell and the body of the user. One arrangement includes multiple heating/cooling units installed into a vest for the targeted treatment of back problems.
