Description

Appareil pour le traitement d'un organisme vivant par lumière colorée Apparatus for the treatment of a living organism by colored light
La présente invention concerne le domaine du traitement d'un organisme vivant - corps humain ou animal - par son exposition à un rayonnement se situant dans le spectre visible à des longueurs d'onde déterminées. Elles portent sur l'appareil assurant cette exposition.The present invention relates to the field of treatment of a living organism - human or animal body - by its exposure to radiation lying in the visible spectrum at determined wavelengths. They relate to the device ensuring this exposure.
L'exposition d'une zone d'un organisme vivant tel que le corps humain ou animal à une lumière colorée pendant un temps déterminé produit des effets biologiques ou psychiques qui ont été reconnus. Par exemple dans le domaine de la cosmétique en particulier, des radiations pénètrent dans les couches profondes de la peau et sont susceptibles d'avoir un effet sur sa sécheresse. On considère que l'association d'une couleur spécifique et d'un temps d'exposition déterminé assure l'efficacité de la thérapie. Après exposition, la zone irradiée est mise dans l'obscurité pendant un certain temps.The exposure of an area of a living organism such as the human or animal body to colored light for a determined time produces biological or psychic effects which have been recognized. For example in the field of cosmetics in particular, radiation penetrates into the deep layers of the skin and is capable of having an effect on its dryness. It is considered that the combination of a specific color and a determined exposure time ensures the effectiveness of the therapy. After exposure, the irradiated area is left in the dark for a certain time.
L'invention a pour but la réalisation d'un appareil permettant la mise en œuvre de protocoles d'application du rayonnement.The object of the invention is the production of an apparatus allowing the implementation of radiation application protocols.
L'appareil conforme à l'invention pour le traitement d'un organisme vivant en particulier le corps humain, par application d'une lumière colorée, est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un support, une source lumineuse colorée montée sur le support, un stylet d'émission de lumière, un guide de lumière constitué d'au moins une fibre optique entre la source lumineuse et le stylet, un bras mobile solidaire du support sur lequel est fixé le stylet.The apparatus according to the invention for the treatment of a living organism in particular the human body, by application of colored light, is characterized in that it comprises a support, a colored light source mounted on the support , a light emission stylus, a light guide made up of at least one optical fiber between the light source and the stylus, a movable arm secured to the support on which the stylus is fixed.
Le bras est mobile entre une position rétractée près du support et une position étirée éloignée du support et est monté de manière télescopique.The arm is movable between a retracted position near the support and a stretched position remote from the support and is mounted telescopically.
Grâce à l'invention, on peut mettre en œuvre un protocole de traitement avec une grande précision d'application du rayonnement.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to implement a treatment protocol with high precision of application of the radiation.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le guide de lumière forme une boucle autour d'une poulie montée coulissante dans un rail solidaire du support. En particulier le rail étant incliné par rapport à l'horizontale sur une portion au moins de sa longueur, la poulie est entraînée par son propre poids pour maintenir le guide de lumière à l'état tendu.According to another characteristic, the light guide forms a loop around a pulley slidably mounted in a rail secured to the support. In particular the rail being inclined relative to the horizontal on at least a portion of its length, the pulley is driven by its own weight to keep the light guide in the stretched state.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique, la source lumineuse est constituée d'une lampe à lumière blanche et d'un moyen formant filtre couleur. Ce dernier est constitué d'un organe support sur lequel sont montés plusieurs filtres correspondant aux différentes couleurs de traitement, ledit organe support étant entraîné par un moteur.According to another characteristic, the light source consists of a white light lamp and a color filter means. The latter consists of a support member on which are mounted several filters corresponding to the different treatment colors, said support member being driven by a motor.
L'entraînement par moteur permet de réaliser des séquences d'exposition à chaque couleur avec une grande précision.The motor drive makes it possible to carry out exposure sequences for each color with great precision.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique le stylet comporte un moyen de régler la largeur du faisceau lumineux émis. Cette caractéristique permet en combinaison avec l'articulation du bras de procéder à des traitements différents tels que l'exposition des points d'acupuncture ou bien le globe oculaire.According to another characteristic, the stylus includes a means of adjusting the width of the emitted light beam. This characteristic allows in combination with the articulation of the arm to carry out different treatments such as the exposure of acupuncture points or the eyeball.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique, l'appareil comprend un moyen pour commander ledit moteur ainsi que l'allumage de la lampe.According to another characteristic, the apparatus comprises means for controlling said motor as well as the lighting of the lamp.
On décrit ci-après un mode réalisation non limitatif de l'appareil, en s 'accompagnant des dessins annexés sur lesquelsA non-limiting embodiment of the device is described below, accompanied by the appended drawings in which
la figure 1 représente une vue générale de profil de l'appareil, la figure 2 représente une vue de face, la figure 3 représente le détail du chariot support, la figure 4 représente une vue en coupe d'un stylet.Figure 1 shows a general profile view of the device, Figure 2 shows a front view, Figure 3 shows the detail of the support carriage, Figure 4 shows a sectional view of a stylus.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, l'appareil comprend un chariot support 10, recouvert ici d'un capot, et monté sur deux roues qui permettent son déplacement sur le sol. Un rail double de guidage 20 est disposé verticalement et fixe par rapport au chariot support 10. Ce rail est cintré ; il comprend de préférence une portion en arc de cercle. Un plateau formant pupitre de commande 30 est fixé au sommet du double rail. Il comprend un écran et les divers organes de commande de l'appareil.As seen in Figure 1, the device comprises a support carriage 10, here covered with a cover, and mounted on two wheels which allow its movement on the ground. A double guide rail 20 is arranged vertically and fixed relative to the support carriage 10. This rail is curved; it preferably comprises a portion in an arc. A tray forming a control desk 30 is fixed to the top of the double rail. It includes a screen and the various control elements of the device.
Le rail double 20 sert de guide à un bras coulissant 40 qui est également cintré ; sa longueur est sensiblement la même que celle du rail double. Le bras peut prendre toutes les positions entre une position rétractée et une position en extension comme celle de la figure 1. Le bras coulisse entre les deux glissières que forment les deux rails dont Pécartement correspond à sa largeur. De préférence, le bras comprend à son extrémité inférieure, sur ses deux faces latérales, deux roulettes à axe de rotation horizontal. Elles roulent le long des pistes de roulement formées par les parois intérieures des rails. Le bras est guidé dans la partie supérieure, à l'intérieur des deux barres d'un collier 22 qui relie transversalement les deux rails 20. Cette traverse est pourvue d'une molette 24 dont le serrage permet d'immobiliser le bras coulissant dans la position désirée.The double rail 20 serves as a guide for a sliding arm 40 which is also curved; its length is substantially the same as that of the double rail. The arm can take any position between a retracted position and a position in extension like that of FIG. 1. The arm slides between the two slides which form the two rails whose spacing corresponds to its width. Preferably, the arm comprises at its lower end, on its two lateral faces, two rollers with horizontal axis of rotation. They roll along the raceways formed by the inner walls of the rails. The arm is guided in the upper part, inside the two bars of a collar 22 which transversely connects the two rails 20. This crosspiece is provided with a knob 24 whose tightening makes it possible to immobilize the sliding arm in the desired position.
Un guide de lumière 50, souple, relie une source de lumière colorée, montée sur le chariot support 10, à un stylet 60. Le guide de lumière est constitué de manière avantageuse par une fibre optique ou un faisceau de fibres optiques. Le guide de lumière suit le rail double 20 jusqu'à son extrémité supérieure. Il contourne le sommet et repart vers le bas jusqu'à une poulie 26. Il est engagé dans une gorge de la poulie d'où il repart vers le haut jusqu'au sommet du bras 30 où il est rattaché à un stylet. Le sommet du bras est agencé pour tenir le stylet en position tournée vers le bas. Une pince convient ; le stylet peut en être séparé pour une utilisation manuelle le cas échéant.A flexible light guide 50 connects a colored light source mounted on the support carriage 10 to a stylus 60. The light guide advantageously consists of an optical fiber or a bundle of optical fibers. The light guide follows the double rail 20 to its upper end. It goes around the top and goes back down to a pulley 26. It is engaged in a groove in the pulley from where it goes up to the top of the arm 30 where it is attached to a stylus. The top of the arm is arranged to hold the stylus in the downward facing position. Pliers are suitable; the stylus can be separated for manual use if necessary.
La poulie est montée sur une plaque, non visible sur les figures, qui est agencée de façon à pouvoir coulisser librement entre les deux rails 20. L'axe de rotation de la poulie est perpendiculaire au plan de la plaque. Le poids de l'équipage constitué par la poulie et la plaque coulissante est suffisant pour maintenir en légère tension le guide de lumière. En raison de la course sensiblement verticale de celui-ci, le guide de lumière reste à l'état tendu quelle que soit l'extension du bras 30.The pulley is mounted on a plate, not visible in the figures, which is arranged so that it can slide freely between the two rails 20. The axis of rotation of the pulley is perpendicular to the plane of the plate. The weight of the crew made up of the pulley and the sliding plate is sufficient to keep the light guide in slight tension. Due to the substantially vertical travel of the latter, the light guide remains in the stretched state whatever the extension of the arm 30.
On a représenté sur la figure 3 schématiquement les différents organes montés sur le chariot support 10.FIG. 3 schematically shows the various members mounted on the support carriage 10.
Le plateau du support comprend un châssis 11 dans lequel on a disposé une lampe 12 en regard de l'extrémité inférieure du guide de lumière 50 qui est lui-même solidaire du châssis. La lampe peut être halogène avec réflecteur intégré et avoir une puissance de 100 W sous 12 V. Un rotor en forme de disque 14 comprend les filtres colorés. Les filtres, lorsqu'ils sont éclairés d'un côté par la lampe, sont réalisés de façon à transmettre à la fibre optique un faisceau lumineux dans une longueur d'onde définie. De préférence, on utilise des filtres monochromatiques, avantageusement interférentiels, avec une précision d'au moins 2 nanomètres par rapport à une longueur d'onde de référence. Dans un mode de réalisation, on prévoit 13 filtres positionnés dans l'ordre du cercle chromatique : jaune, vert, bleu, violet, rouge et orange. Le rotor est disposé entre la lampe 12 et la fibre optique. Le cas échéant, on ajoute un moyen de filtrage des rayons UV et IR pour éviter un endommagement de la fibre optique. Par rotation autour de son axe parallèle à celui de la lumière émise par la lampe, le rotor présente le filtre sélectionné devant la lampe. Ce rotor est entraîné et calé en position angulaire par un moteur électrique 15 alimenté par un transformateur 16. Le moteur permet un temps de passage d'un filtre à l'autre de moins d'une seconde. L'alimentation de la lampe et celle du moteur sont commandées depuis un boîtier de commande 18. l'ensemble est de préférence ventilé.The support plate comprises a frame 11 in which a lamp 12 has been placed facing the lower end of the light guide 50 which is itself secured to the frame. The lamp can be halogen with integrated reflector and have a power of 100 W at 12 V. A disc-shaped rotor 14 includes the colored filters. The filters, when they are lit on one side by the lamp, are made so as to transmit a light beam to the optical fiber in a defined wavelength. Preferably, monochromatic filters are used, advantageously interference, with an accuracy of at least 2 nanometers compared to a reference wavelength. In one embodiment, 13 filters are provided, positioned in the order of the chromatic circle: yellow, green, blue, purple, red and orange. The rotor is disposed between the lamp 12 and the optical fiber. If necessary, a means of filtering UV and IR rays is added to avoid damage to the optical fiber. By rotation around its axis parallel to that of the light emitted by the lamp, the rotor presents the selected filter in front of the lamp. This rotor is driven and locked in angular position by an electric motor 15 supplied by a transformer 16. The motor allows a passage time from one filter to the other of less than one second. The supply of the lamp and that of the motor are controlled from a control unit 18. the assembly is preferably ventilated.
Le boîtier de commande est relié au pupitre de commande 30 qui comprend les organes de commutation et de visualisation des étapes des protocoles mis en œuvre. Il permet d'effectuer le choix de la couleur en commandant le moteur 15, le temps d'exposition et l'intensité de la lumière en agissant sur la lampe. Le fonctionnement peut se faire automatiquement par une programmation appropriée de protocoles préalablement définis. De tels protocoles portent sur les séquences d'expositions successives à des couleurs différentes, éventuellement l'intensité de la lumière, et la durée des expositions de chacune des couleurs. Un afficheur permet de sélectionner et suivre les opérations liées aux différents protocoles ;The control unit is connected to the control console 30 which includes the switching and display members of the stages of the protocols implemented. It makes it possible to make the choice of color by controlling the motor 15, the exposure time and the intensity of the light by acting on the lamp. Operation can be done automatically by appropriate programming of previously defined protocols. Such protocols relate to the sequences of successive exposures to different colors, possibly the intensity of the light, and the duration of the exposures of each of the colors. A display allows you to select and follow the operations related to the different protocols;
On a représenté sur la figure 4, une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un stylet 60 pour l'application directe de la lumière. Il comprend un manchon 61 de forme générale cylindrique qui forme à une extrémité un moyen de guidage de la fibre optique 50. Cette dernière est guidée jusqu'à proximité de l'autre extrémité du stylet qui est ouverte. Elle est fixée par un moyen appropriée. Sur ce stylet, on a prévu un moyen pour ajuster la largeur du faisceau lumineux émis. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, ce moyen est constitué par une bague 63 qui est montée sur une partie 64 plus mince du manchon de manière à pouvoir coulisser le long de cette partie. Un moyen de guidage hélicoïdal permet un ajustement précis entre une position entièrement rétractée où le faisceau lumineux est le plus large, et une position complètement allongée où le faisceau lumineux est le plus étroit. La figure 4 montre la bague 63 complètement étirée. Le faisceau est le plus étroit. Avantageusement, l'intérieur de la cavité de la bague est revêtu de noir. Pour d'autres applications, il n'est pas nécessaire de régler la largeur du faisceau. Dans ce cas, on remplace la bague coulissante par une bague fixe.There is shown in Figure 4, a longitudinal sectional view of a stylus 60 for direct application of light. It comprises a sleeve 61 of generally cylindrical shape which forms at one end a means for guiding the optical fiber 50. The latter is guided as close as possible to the other end of the stylet which is open. It is fixed by an appropriate means. On this stylus, a means has been provided for adjusting the width of the light beam emitted. According to the embodiment shown, this means consists of a ring 63 which is mounted on a thinner part 64 of the sleeve so as to be able to slide along this part. A helical guide means allows a precise adjustment between a fully retracted position where the light beam is the widest, and a fully extended position where the light beam is the narrowest. Figure 4 shows the ring 63 fully extended. The beam is the narrowest. Advantageously, the interior of the cavity of the ring is coated with black. For other applications, it is not necessary to adjust the width of the beam. In this case, the sliding ring is replaced by a fixed ring.
Le fonctionnement de l'appareil est le suivant. La personne à traiter est placée en position assise ou bien en position couchée. On approche l'appareil de la personne et on règle le bras de façon que le faisceau lumineux sortant du stylet soit dirigé vers la partie du corps à éclairer.The operation of the device is as follows. The person to be treated is placed in a sitting or lying position. We approach the person's device and adjust the arm so that the light beam leaving the stylus is directed towards the part of the body to be illuminated.
On sélectionne par exemple un protocole sur le pupitre de commande. Après la séquence d'expositions, on maintient la zone éclairée dans le noir pendant un temps défini.For example, a protocol is selected on the control console. After the exposure sequence, the area illuminated in the dark is maintained for a defined time.
Par exemple pour l'application sur des points d'acupuncture ou sur l'oreille, on peut choisir un cycle composé d'une série de séquences d'expositions à des lumières : orange, rouge, vert pendant 15 secondes chacune, suivies d'une période de 15 secondes sans éclairage. Un cycle dure dans cet exemple 8 minutes. D'autres cycles sont bien sûr concevables. For example for the application on acupuncture points or on the ear, one can choose a cycle composed of a series of sequences of exposure to lights: orange, red, green for 15 seconds each, followed by a period of 15 seconds without lighting. In this example, a cycle lasts 8 minutes. Other cycles are of course conceivable.
