Abstract
A device for treating human beings or animals, e.g. horses, may be attached to a strap and has a first disc-shaped magnet (1) rotatably mounted on pins (6) within a second annular magnet (3), and held in place by a plate (8). The upper surface of the second magnet (3) is a south pole and the lower surface is a north pole. The first magnet can be rotated through 180 degrees so that its top surface can be chosen to be a north or south pole. The whole device can be removed from its strap and inverted so that different poles can be adjacent the skin in use. A uniform magnetic field of either polarity, or an alternating field can thus be applied to the wearer.
Claims20
A magnotherapy device comprising at least two magnet members, mounting means mounting said magnet members, wherein each magnet member has opposing north and south poles, and at least one of the magnet members is mounted by said mounting means so as to be movable relative to another of the said magnet members, thereby enabling the poles of any two adjacent magnet members facing in the same direction to be either opposite or identical.
A device according to any preceding claim, wherein the outer magnet member is substantially circular.
A device according to any preceding claim, further comprising means to maintain the said at least one of the magnet members mounted so as to be movable relative to another of the said magnet members in a fixed position.
A device according to any preceding claim, further comprising a strap.
A device according to any preceding claim, wherein at least one of the magnets is a neodymium magnet.
