Title:

DEVICE FOR CURING OBESITY USING COOLING

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/020254

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a device for curing obesity using low-cost cooling, the device capable of curing obesity by spreading an anti-freezing agent to a part to be treated, using neither an absorption pad nor a coupling device, and surrounding the part with a film to protect the skin, and cooling only the fat portion. The device according to the present invention comprises: a controller body for setting cooling temperature and operating time, supplying cooling water for cooling a thermoelectric element, and providing suction force through a vacuum pump; a handpiece body for displaying operating conditions and providing suction force through a suction hole; a cable for connecting the controller body and the handpiece body; a suction cup mounted on the handpiece body to form a suction space; and cooling devices positioned on both sides of the suction cup to cool a part to be treated, which has been sucked into the suction space, and the device may further comprise a film for sealing an anti-freezing agent, which has been applied to the part to be treated, to facilitate penetration of the anti-freezing agent into the part to be treated and to prevent the suction cup from being smeared with the anti-freezing agent. According to the present invention, a metallic cooling plate is in-molded in a suction cup made of silicone and, instead of making a direct contact with the part to be treated, makes a contact via a thin silicone layer such that fat can be destroyed efficiently using a small amount of anti-freezing agent while protecting the skin; any gap through which air may flow in is removed, thereby improving suction force; and no need to use a liner or an absorption pad and a coupling device reduces the cost.
