Portable device for treating insect bites and the like

A portable device for treating the bites or stings of insects and harmful creatures, comprising:

• a piezoelectric element configured for producing a predetermined difference in electrical potential;
• an actuating element operable by a user and associated with said piezoelectric element to impart to the piezoelectric element a predetermined state of stress;
• a discharge area electrically connected to the piezoelectric element and positionable in proximity to an area of a patient which has been bitten/stung in order to impart to the patient an electrical discharge generated by said difference in electrical potential;
• a monolithic containing body configured for housing the piezoelectric element, the actuating element and the discharge area, the monolithic containing body comprising a monolithic shell configurable between an assembly condition allowing the insertion of the piezoelectric element and/or the actuating element, and an operating condition defining a housing space, the monolithic containing body comprising a connecting section (5d), a first lobe (5c) and a second lobe (5c) joined without breach of continuity, the connecting section (5d) including a first pliable portion (5e) connecting the connecting section (5d) to the first lobe (5c), the connecting section (5d) including a second pliable portion (5e) connecting the connecting section (5d) to the second lobe (5c), each pliable portion (5e, 5e) providing a folding line effective to permit the first and second lobes (5c, 5c) to be folded together so as to create said operating condition, the connecting section (5d) having at least one through hole containing a polarised portion which is electrically connected to the piezoelectric element.
