DISPOSABLE WEIGHT−REDUCING SUCTION CUP

Title:

DISPOSABLE WEIGHT−REDUCING SUCTION CUP

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/047491

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The top (6) of a disposable weight−reducing suction cup (1) adapted to be intimately contacted with a weigh−reduction subject portion (8) is provided with a projection (24) and a thin−walled portion (35) disposed in the region of the inner surface of the cup (1) opposed to the projection (24). The cup (1) is intimately contacted with the weight−reduction subject portion (8), and then it is evacuated for suction by a pressure reducing valve (16) to dissipate the subcutaneous fat in the weight−reduction subject portion (8). After suction, this projection (24) is bent to destruct the thin−walled portion (35) to form a hole in the top (6), thereby equalizing the pressure in the cup with the outside pressure. This allows easy removal of the cup (1) from the weight−reduction subject portion (8). The absence of a complicated reduced pressure releasing mechanism results in an inexpensive disposable weight−reducing suction cup. Further, the barrel (4) of the weight−reducing suction cup (1) to be intimately contacted with the weight−reduction subject portion (8) is provided with a deformable portion (25) composed of a recess (20) and a thin−walled portion (18). The deformable portion (25) serves as a pressing portion adapted to be easily inwardly deformed and crushed when the interior (42) of the cup (1) is evacuated, and to laterally press the weight−reduction subject portion (8) to effectively dissipate subcutaneous fat.
