BR-102024017674-A2 - CONSTRUCTIONAL ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN THERMAL PANELS BASED ON THERMO-CERAMIC

Abstract

The purpose of this Invention Patent is to develop a thermal plate for use in the treatment and relief of pain and injuries, assisting in the body's natural healing processes in a way that is safe for health. It basically consists of a plate (P), in the shape of a disc or bar, manufactured in a mold with two-component silicone (1), and which internally has a series of small ceramic pieces (2), spaced apart, providing total flexibility to adjust in a personalized way according to the user's body structure and limbs. This is an evolutionary solution, standing out in the consumer market due to its differentiated construction and use, while also being a low-cost, functional, and comfortable product.

Description

FIELD OF APPLICATION 001 This descriptive report refers to a patent application for an invention for an object used in the treatment of injuries and pain reduction, belonging to the field of health treatment articles, which is extremely practical and efficient, meeting the conditions to become worthy of the protection now sought. 002 The constructive arrangement introduced in thermal plates based on thermoceramics, through improvements and the technology employed, aims to develop a thermal plate for use in the treatment and relief of pain and injuries, aiding in the body's natural healing processes in a way that is safe for health. It basically consists of a plate, in the shape of a disc or bar, manufactured in a mold with two-component silicone, and which internally presents a series of small ceramic pieces, spaced apart, providing total flexibility to adjust in a personalized way according to the user's body structure and limbs. It is an evolutionary solution, standing out in the consumer market for presenting a differentiated product in terms of its construction and use, while also being a low-cost, functional, and comfortable product. STATE OF THE ART 003 With the sole and exclusive purpose of providing veracity to the preamble of this description, the applicant will now provide, in the following paragraphs, a brief, yet consistent, explanation of the state of the art regarding the problems and drawbacks of products used in the treatment of pain or injuries through thermotherapy, where it will be possible for a person skilled in the art to recognize its deficient aspects, in order to later clearly identify in the invention now claimed the requirement of novelty, mandatory under the Industrial Property Law. 004 Ice and heat are two modalities that have long been used in the treatment of pain and injuries. Although there are classic indications for one or the other treatment, there are situations in which both heat and ice can be considered applicable in treatment. 005 Thermotherapy is a non-invasive technique used to treat injuries and reduce pain through heat or cold. The benefits of thermotherapy for people are numerous. As mentioned, it contributes to pain relief, since it has an analgesic effect, reducing the feeling of exhaustion or muscle tension in the area of discomfort. 006 The technique also controls injuries, reduces nerve sensitivity, and prevents the appearance of edema caused by fluid accumulation in the tissue. Currently, the application of thermal packs containing a gel on the inside, which can be heated or cooled, is known to help relieve muscle pain, cramps, contractures, headaches, circulation problems, or simply to warm the body. 008 Some problems can be observed with the use of gel ice packs, such as reduced size and difficulty in molding to the body. Existing ice packs are often not the right size for the area of the lesion. Their shape is also not ergonomically adjusted to the body's surface, reducing the area of treatment. 009 The state of the art reveals the Portuguese patent PT 1677715E, published on 12/07/2006, entitled THERMAL PAD AND DEVICE COMPRISING SUCH PAD, which discloses a thermal pad comprising a network of blocks (1) comprising a thermal material and separated by interstices (8), the blocks being connected by joints comprising elastic solid bodies fixed to the blocks (1) constituting the deformable thermal material and/or elastic membranes (7), fixed to the blocks (1) and placed under tension to fulfill a deformable body, present in the interstices (8), and/or joints (6), permeable to a fluid present in the interstices (8). The object presented in this patent is completely different from that proposed in this application. 010 The state of the art also reveals Brazilian patent BR 20 2022 017513-2, published on 10/18/2022, entitled HOT AND COLD COMPRESS BAG AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND HOT AND COLD COMPRESS CIRCULATION SYSTEM, which discloses a hot and cold compress bag with a first sheet (110), second sheet (120), third sheet (130), first weld seam (210), second weld seam (220), gas opening (310) and at least two liquid openings (320). The first, second and third sheets (110, 120, 130) are stacked sequentially. The first weld seam (210) joins the first, second and third sheets (110, 120, 130) in a planimetric position. The second weld joint (220) encircles the first sheet (110), the second sheet (120), and the third sheet (130) and joins them in a planimetric position. The second weld joint (220) is joined to the end of the first weld joint (210), forming the first cavity (141) between the first sheet (110) and the second sheet (120) and the second cavity (142) between the second sheet (120) and the third sheet (130). The gas opening (310) is disposed between two liquid openings (320), spaced from both. At least two liquid openings (320) communicate with the second cavity (142), and the gas opening (310) communicates with the first cavity (141). The end of
