Definitions

  • the invention refers to a device for the transfer of vapour from a pressurized boiler, especially suitable for treatments of personal cleanness and hygiene.
  • this invention refers to a device fit for being connected to a pressurized vapour generator, of a known type, to transfer the flow, conveying it orientatably towards the utilization point.
  • This operation permits to obtain an accuate cleaning and hydration of the skin, made easier by the dilation of the pores that are enveloped by the vapour.
  • the traditional apparatuses utilized in this field have a container for the fluid, in general water, which is heated up to the boiling-point; the vapour which generates is conveyed into a duct along which it goes upwards by force of inertia. At the end of said duct, the vapour comes out through a mouth-piece, before which stays the person who receives, on the part of the body to be treated, the gaseous flow.
  • Special substances, the so-called essential oils, which promote the treatment of specific skin alterations, are sometimes added to the water to be vaporized; the essential oils, placed in an independent container, yield up to the vapour which envelope them part of these active substances and come out of the duct to envelope the exposed portion of skin tissue.
  • the section of the delivery duct, in the first place, has to be large, to let the vapour go upwards and outwards.
  • the apparatus has to be placed near the utilization point: actually, too long a duct would lead to the dispersion of much of the gaseous flow, which would therefore arrive outside in a very small amount and be therefore scarcely effective.
  • a further drawback of the known apparatuses of this kind lies in that the essential oils that are sometimes used, are exploited to a very limited amount; in fact, the vapour envelopes this substances without being in condition of taking from them the active ingredients, as it goes upwards along the duct by force of inertia, with no pressure at all.
  • An object of this invention is that of obviating the above mentioned drawbacks.
  • an object of this invention is the realization of a device for the transfer of vapour from a pressurized boiler, utilizable especially for treatments of personal cleanness and hygiene, from which the gaseous flow develops in great quantity and under pressure, so as to accelerate and optimize the treatment stages.
  • Another object of this invention is the realization of a device as defined above, capable of largely exploiting the active substances of the essential oils.
  • a not least object of this invention is the realization of a device for the transfer of vapour in which the size of the duct for the transfer of vapour is such as to be easily placeable, orientable and utilizable.
  • the device subject matter of this invention which is basically characterized by the fact of being constituted by a device for the transfer of vapour from a pressurized boiler, especially suitable for treatments of personal cleanness and hygiene, and characterized by the fact of being constituted by at least a tubular element 10 or 12 inside which a flexible duct 22 is placed for conveying the vapour coming from a pressurized generator 18, a vaporization group being placed at the top end of said tubular element and incorporated in a box 20, made up by a chamber 30' at whose basis an eletrically heated plate 40 is provided.
  • the device for the transfer of vapour from a pressurized boiler subject matter of this invention comprises two basically tubular elements or arms 10, 12, articulatably connected to one another by a bellows 14 of flexible material.
  • the lower end of element 10 is provided with a plug 16 for the connection of the device with a pressurized vapour generator, of a known type, indicated with 18 on the dotted line.
  • the top end of element 12 is connected to a box 20 which incorporates the vaporization head of which we shall speak further on.
  • Said arms 10, 12 and box 20 are preferably made of plastic material, and constituted by complementary shells snap-tied and/or connected by common screws to one another, and incorporate a flexible duct 22 for the transfer of vapour and a plurality of electric cables 24.
  • Said arms are connected to one another in lower position from a frame which permits them to take different and stable orientations.
  • Said frame is constituted by a fork 26, connected to arm 12, whose opposite end is engaged under a cross member 28, which being provided with an indentation, is integral with arm 10.
  • the vaporization group shown on drawings 2 and 3 is placed in box 20.
  • Said group is constituted by a container 30, preferably made of plastic material, surmounted by a tight cover 32 on which the removable cap 34 is placed.
  • Container 30 shows on the opposite heads the protruding clutches 36, 38, which connect chamber 30', circumscribed by said container and the cover, with the outside.
  • mouth-piece 36 On mouth-piece 36 is placed the top end of the flexible duct 22, which conveys the vapour coming from generator 18; on the contrary, from mouth 38 the vapour comes out that has passed through chamber 30'.
  • a metal plate 40 preferably made of stainless steel, which surmounts a resistor 42, under which a second plate 44 is provided, advantageously made of aluminium.
  • the container 30 has a chamber having a form for instance cylindrical 46, with wall and bottom provided with slots and/or holes.
  • a thermostat 48 and a safety thermofuse 50 are provided on the external lower front of container 30.
  • the active substances, or essential oils, in form of leaves included in permeable bags or possibly of fluids impregnating said bags, are advantageously placed in chamber 46, communicating with chamber 30' through sais slots and holes.
  • a quartz ozonizing lamp, horseshoe-shaped, having the function of sterilizing the vapour before its coming out, is placed within box 20.
  • the pressurized vapour produced by generator 18 is conveyed along the flexible duct 20, articulated into arms 10, 12 and flows into chamber 30'; the condensate which forms unavoidably as the vapour is pressurized, is eliminated in said chamber through the effect of resistor 42, which heats plate 40.
  • the vapour is submitted to the action of the quartz lamp 52, which sterilizes it.
  • the vapour being pressurized, hits energetically the substances placed in chamber 46, taking out from the essential oils the active principles useful for the treatment.
  • the device permits to have at own disposal a remarkable amount of pressurized vapour which optimizes the skin treatment; in the presence of essential oils placed in the special container, the vapour flow is notably enriched by the active ingredients they contain and transfer them outside in large amounts.
