Abstract:
1. A compressive device adapted for use with a human waist defining a first circumference, and for focusing a compressive force and thermal barrier at the general lateral or oblique areas of the waist, said device comprising: an elastic belt presenting a first maximum height, and defining a continuous wall having an un-stretched circumference less than and a stretched circumference greater than the first circumference; and first and second spaced apart pads each presenting a second maximum height not less than thrice the first height, and generally convex profiles emanating from the belt, and comprising material having a predetermined thermal conductivity rate, said belt and pads being cooperatively configured so as to define first and second belts sections, and having length ratios such that the pads are generally diametrically disposed, so as to be positioned generally adjacent, and apply the force only to the areas, when the device is donned.
