Gebrauchsmusterantrag: Temperier-Manschette mit KnickschutzUtility model application: Temperature control sleeve with kink protection Anlage 1: BeschreibungAppendix 1: Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine mit einer temperierten Flüssigkeit durchströmte oder zeitweilig mit ihr gefüllte Temperier-Manschette zur physiotherapeutischen Wärme- oder Kältebehandlung von Körperteilen bei Menschen und Tieren.The invention relates to a temperature control cuff through which a tempered liquid flows or is temporarily filled with it for the physiotherapeutic heat or cold treatment of body parts in humans and animals.

Es sind schon verschiedene Temperier-Manschetten der genannten Art bekannt. Zwei am Rand miteinander verschweißte elastische Kunststoff-Folien oder ähnliche Gebilde aus Kautschuk bzw. vergleichbaren Materialien bilden eine Tasche für die temperierte Flüssigkeit. Am Rand ist eine Zu- und eine Abflußleitung befestigt. Diese werden mit einem Aggregat zur Einstellung der Flüssigkeitstemperatur und einer Pumpe verbunden. Die Pumpe hält die Flüssigkeit im Kreislauf. Im Inneren der Tasche befinden sich Strömungsleiteinrichtungen, um eine möglichst gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung über die gesamte Taschenfläche zu erreichen und Totzonen, in denen sich die Flüssigkeit staut, zu vermeiden (z.B. Patente DE 33 43 664 Cl und DE 93 25 461 Al)Various temperature control sleeves of the type mentioned are already known. Two elastic plastic films or similar structures made of rubber or comparable materials welded together at the edge form a pocket for the tempered liquid. An inlet and outlet line are attached to the edge. These are connected to a unit for adjusting the liquid temperature and a pump. The pump keeps the liquid in circulation. There are flow control devices inside the pocket in order to achieve the most even possible temperature distribution over the entire pocket surface and to avoid dead zones in which the liquid accumulates (e.g. patents DE 33 43 664 Cl and DE 93 25 461 Al)
Alle bekannten Temperier-Manschetten aus Folien sind im Bereich der Anschlüsse und allen anderen stärker abzubiegenden Teilen der Manschette knickgefährdet. Im Falle des Abknickens wird durch die damit verbundene Hemmung oder Unterbrechung des Flüssigkeitsstromes die Temperierwirkung der Manschette eingeschränkt oder ganz unterbrochen. Außerdem werden die Folien in diesen Zonen mechanisch hoch strapaziert.All known temperature control sleeves made of foil are at risk of kinking in the area of the connections and all other parts of the sleeve that are subject to greater bending. If they kink, the resulting inhibition or interruption of the fluid flow limits or completely interrupts the temperature control effect of the sleeve. In addition, the foils in these zones are subjected to high mechanical stress.
Es sind auch Temperier-Manschetten bekannt, die mit einer dünnen, elastischen Isolierschicht z.B. aus geschäumten Kunststoff auf der dem Körper abgewandten Seite überzogen sind (z.B. U.S.Patent 5,086,772 und Des Patent 340,526). Diese Schicht bewirkt aufgrund ihrer relativenThere are also known temperature control cuffs that are covered with a thin, elastic insulating layer, e.g. made of foamed plastic, on the side facing away from the body (e.g. U.S. Patent 5,086,772 and Des Patent 340,526). Due to its relative

Steifigkeit neben der thermischen Isolation auch einen bedingten Knickschutz für die darunterliegende eigentliche Temperier-Manschette. Die Flexibilität, d.h. die Anpassung der Temperier-Manschette an die jeweiligen Unebenheiten der Körperoberfläche wird dadurch jedoch eingeschränkt. Es bilden sich Hohlräume, die einen hohen Wärmewiderstand besitzen und die eigentliche Temperierwirkung der Manschette einschränken.In addition to thermal insulation, rigidity also provides a certain degree of kink protection for the actual temperature control cuff underneath. However, this limits the flexibility, i.e. the ability of the temperature control cuff to adapt to the respective unevenness of the body surface. Hollow spaces are formed that have a high thermal resistance and limit the actual temperature control effect of the cuff.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Temperier-Manschette werden diese Nachteile weitgehend überwunden. Nur in den knickgefährdeten Bereichen der Temperier-Manschette ist direkt zwischen den Folien der Temperier-Manschette eine flache, permeable Kunststoffeinlage angeordnet. Sie ist in Richtung der Materialstärke stabil, aber in der Fläche elastisch und biegsam. Dadurch kommt es bei einem Biegen der Manschette zu keiner wesentlichen Einengung oder Abschnürung des Flüssigkeitsstroms.These disadvantages are largely overcome with the tempering sleeve according to the invention. Only in the areas of the tempering sleeve that are at risk of kinking is a flat, permeable plastic insert arranged directly between the films of the tempering sleeve. It is stable in the direction of the material thickness, but elastic and flexible in the surface. As a result, bending the sleeve does not result in any significant constriction or constriction of the liquid flow.
In einer vorzugsweisen Ausführung befindet sich eine solche Einlage im Bereich der Anschlüsse, wobei die Schläuche in die Einlage hinein verlängert und dort perforiert sind.In a preferred embodiment, such an insert is located in the area of the connections, where the hoses are extended into the insert and perforated there.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung ist eine erfindungsgemäße Temperier-Manschette in der Draufsicht dargestellt, wobei die obere Kunststoff-Folie abgenommen ist.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. In the drawing, a tempering sleeve according to the invention is shown in plan view, with the upper plastic film removed.
Zur Herstellung der Manschette werden zwei elastische Kunststoff-Folien 1 aufeinander gelegt und an den Rändern sowie an den Punkten 4 und Stegen 3 miteinander verschweißt.To produce the cuff, two elastic plastic films 1 are placed on top of each other and welded together at the edges and at the points 4 and webs 3.
Die Temperier-Manschette ist mit einer Zuführungs- und einer Abflußleitung 6 und 7 mit einem nicht näher dargestellten Gerät zur Temperierung der Flüssigkeit und einer ebenfalls nicht gezeigten Pumpe verbunden. Mit der Pumpe wird die temperierte Flüssigkeit im Kreislauf gehalten.The tempering sleeve is connected to a supply and a drain line 6 and 7 with a device (not shown in detail) for tempering the liquid and a pump (also not shown). The pump keeps the tempered liquid in the circuit.
Sie durchströmt die Temperier-Manschette, wobei die Stege 3 als Strömungsleiteinrichtungen dienen.It flows through the temperature control sleeve, with the webs 3 serving as flow guide devices.
Als Besonderheit weist die Temperier-Manschette im Beispiel einen leicht beweglichen Lappen 2 auf, damit die Manschette den Körperkonturen besser angepaßt werden kann.As a special feature, the temperature control cuff in the example has a slightly movable flap 2 so that the cuff can be better adapted to the contours of the body.
An der Befestigungsstelle des Lappens 2 an den Folien 1 und an der Einbindungsstelle der Anschlußschläuche 6 und 7 ist die Temperier-Manschette üblicherweise besonders knickempfindlich. Erfindungsgemäß sind in diesen Bereichen zwischen die Folien 1 gesinterteThe temperature control sleeve is usually particularly susceptible to kinking at the point where the flap 2 is attached to the foils 1 and at the point where the connecting hoses 6 and 7 are connected. According to the invention, sintered

Ethylenazetat-Folien 5 eingelegt. Sie sichern die Biegsamkeit der Temperier-Manschette und verhindern scharfe Knicke.Ethylene acetate foils 5 are inserted. They ensure the flexibility of the temperature control sleeve and prevent sharp kinks.
Die Anschlußschläuche 6 und 7 sind bis in den Bereich der Einlage 5 hinein verlängert.The connecting hoses 6 and 7 are extended into the area of the insert 5.
Perforierungen 8 erleichtern den Aus- und Eintritt der Flüssigkeit und erhöhen die Elastizität der Schläuche.Perforations 8 facilitate the entry and exit of the liquid and increase the elasticity of the hoses.
