Claim Text:
1. A portable device for treating the bites or stings of insects and harmful creatures, comprising: a monolithic containing body made in a single piece and defining an internal housing space, the monolithic containing body develops along an operating axis and has a guide and housing portion with a sliding guide; a piezoelectric element configured for producing a predetermined difference in electrical potential, the piezoelectric element being housed in the internal housing space of the monolithic containing body; an actuating element operable by a user and associated with said piezoelectric element to impart to the piezoelectric element a predetermined state of stress/deformation, the actuating element having an enlarged portion inserted in the guide and housing portion and sliding along the sliding guide; a discharge area electrically connected to the piezoelectric element and positionable close to an area of a patient which has been bitten/stung in order to impart to the area an electrical discharge generated by said difference in electrical potential; wherein the actuating element, the piezoelectric element and the discharge area are aligned along the operating axis, the actuating element being movable between an inactive condition substantially emerging from the monolithic containing body and an active condition only partially emerging from the monolithic containing body in which the piezoelectric element is activated receiving a stress to generate a potential difference, and wherein the guide and housing portion comprises an upper abutting portion and a lower abutting portion, in the inactive condition, the enlarged portion of the actuating element abutting against the upper abutting portion, in the active condition, the enlarged portion of the actuating element abutting against the lower abutting portion or against the piezoelectric element, the monolithic containing body presenting a bottom part developing along the operating axis below the guide and housing portion, the bottom part defining part of the internal housing space with an overall span orthogonal to the operating axis which is constantly smaller than an overall span of the internal housing space defined by the guide and housing portion.
