Abstract
A pen size apparatus for neutralizing and detoxifying bites and stings to man or animal from insects and reptiles. When the apparatus is positioned on the affected area of the toxin victim and a push-button is depressed, multiple piezo crystals are stressed producing low amperage direct current high voltage pulses. The apparatus produces these pulses every time the push-button is depressed without any other internal or external power source. These pulses are transmitted through appropriate electrodes in contact with the affected area of the toxin victim, where detoxification takes place by electrolysis, anaphoresis, and cataphoresis.
Claims8
An apparatus adapted to be hand-held and selectively operable to generate an electric current of high voltage and low amperage and manipulable to conduct said electric current through live tissue containing insect or reptile toxins, for the purpose of electro detoxifying said toxins, said apparatus comprising:
- a) a hollow electrically non-conductive housing;
- b) at least one piezoelectric member enclosed within said electrically non-conductive housing;
- c) means for stressing said at least one piezoelectric member mounted on said housing and selectively operable to generate a low amperage electric current to effect said stressing;
- and
- d) at least one electrode of electrically conductive material mounted exteriorly on said hollow housing adapted for conductive contact with live tissue and adapted to conduct a low amperage electrical current from said piezoelectric member through said live tissue to electro detoxify toxins contained in said live tissue;
- e) said means mounted on said housing for stressing said at least one piezoelectric member including a push-button slidably mounted on one end of the hollow housing and positioned for easy application of an axially directed force thereto by digital manipulation to drive said push-button into said hollow housing, a push-button retainer fixedly mounted on said housing for retaining said push-button, said means mounted on said housing operable to stress said piezoelectric member, and said piezoelectric member within said hollow housing.
An apparatus adapted to be hand-held and selectively operable to generate an electric current of high voltage and low amperage and manipulable to conduct said electric current through live tissue containing insect or reptile toxins, for the purpose of electro detoxifying said toxins, said apparatus comprising:
- a) a hollow electrically non-conductive housing;
- b) at least one piezoelectric member enclosed within said electrically non-conductive housing;
- c) means for stressing said at least one piezoelectric member mounted on said housing and selectively operable to generate a low amperage electric current to effect said stressing;
- and
- d) at least one electrode of electrically conductive material mounted exteriorly on said hollow housing adapted for conductive contact with live tissue and adapted to conduct a low amperage electrical current from said piezoelectric member through said live tissue to electro detoxify toxins contained in said live tissue;
- e) wherein at least two axially spaced piezoelectric members are provided within the housing, and a spacer of rigid electrical conducting material is provided between said piezoelectric members whereby said spacer transfers mechanically generated stress from one piezoelectric member to the other piezoelectric member.
