Title:
DEVICE FOR BUILDING UP MUSCLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/091734
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A device for building up muscle capable of applying a uniform and sufficient pressing force to an extremity to be tightened even if the device is affected by the movement of muscles, comprising a hollow cuff (1) having a tube (5) and linear bodies (6) installed therein and a fixing means for maintaining the cuff (1) in a loop shape of a specified diameter. The cuff (1) is wound around the specified tightened portion of the extremity and fixed by the fixing means at a specified diameter. A specified pressing force is applied to the extremity wound by the cuff (1) by filling air into the tube (5) to obstruct blood flow for building up the muscles of the extremity. The linear bodies (6) are so formed that, when air is filled in the tube (5), the expansion direction of the tube (5) is restricted to the side of the cuff (1) facing the muscles when the cuff (1) is wound around the muscles.
