US 5741318 AAbstract
A substantially rectangular piece of flexible web having a first end and a second end and an elastic portion therebetween, stretchable along a longitudinal axis of the piece of web. The piece of web has a length great enough to encircle a user's waist such that the first and second ends overlap. The first end has a reclosable fastening system for attaching the first end to the piece of web near the second end in order to hold the piece of web around the user's waist when the piece of web is stretched. The back wrap further comprises a plurality of individual thermal elements embedded in the piece of web. The plurality of thermal elements have a substantially planar diamond-shaped pattern which approximates the shape of erector muscles in the user's back. The pattern has a gap transverse to the longitudinal axis which corresponds to the user's spine. The elastic back wrap may further include an individual thermal element located in the gap of the pattern such that the single thermal element covers the user's sacroiliac at the base of the user's spine. The elastic back wrap has a means for increasing friction between the piece of web and a user's body in order to reduce slippage of the wrap during use. The means for increasing friction may include a foam strip attached transverse to the longitudinal axis of the piece of web on the body-facing side thereof.
1. A disposable elastic back wrap comprising:a) a substantially rectangular piece of flexible web having a first end and a second end and an elastic portion therebetween stretchable along a longitudinal axis of said piece of flexible web, said piece of flexible web having a length great enough to encircle a user's waist such that said first and second ends overlap, said first end having a reclosable fastening system for attaching said first end to said piece of flexible web near said second end in order to hold said piece of flexible web around said user's waist when said piece of flexible web is stretched, said fastening system having a plurality of hook members which engage loop fibers of said piece of flexible web anywhere along said piece of flexible web in order to adjust said wrap to a variety of user waist sizes and to attain a comfortable level of elastic tension; b) a plurality of individual heat generating thermal elements encapsulated within said piece of web, said plurality of the thermal elements having an oxygen activated chemistry and a substantially planar diamond-shaped pattern which approximates the shape of erector muscles in the user's back; and c) a means for increasing friction between said piece of flexible web and a user's body in order to reduce slippage of said back wrap during use. Description
The present invention relates to back wraps having thermal elements for temporary pain relief application, and more particularly to back wraps wherein the thermal energy is applied to specific areas of the lower back. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to elastic back wraps having features to position and maintain thermal elements in the desired location during use.
Chronic back pain is one of the most common complaints found in modern society. Heating pads and elastic compression bands are common devices used to relieve chronic back pain. More recently, combinations of elastic back wraps and heating pads have been available. Many of these combination devices utilize thermal packs which are reusable via the replenishment of thermal energy including heated water and microwaveable gels. In general, however, the state of the art is rather archaic. Such temporary pain relief devices are inconvenient to use on a regular basis because: thermal energy is not immediately available when needed; thermal energy is not released in a controllable or sustainable manner, positioning of thermal energy elements for heating only the back muscles, rather than the spine or other areas which do not benefit as much from thermal treatment, is inaccurate and difficult to maintain; or adjustability for waist size and tension comfort has been missing.
In one aspect of the present invention an elastic back wrap comprises a substantially rectangular piece of flexible web having a first end and a second end and an elastic portion therebetween stretchable along a longitudinal axis of the piece of flexible web. The piece of flexible web has a length great enough to encircle a user's waist such that the first and second ends overlap. The first end has a reclosable fastening system for attaching the first end to the piece of flexible web near the second end in order to hold the piece of flexible web around the user's waist when the piece of flexible web is stretched. The back wrap further comprises a plurality of individual thermal elements embedded in the piece of flexible web. The plurality of thermal elements have a substantially planar diamond-shaped pattern which approximates the shape of erector muscles in the user's back. The pattern has a gap transverse to the longitudinal axis which corresponds to the user's spine. The elastic back wrap may further comprise an individual thermal element located in the gap such that the thermal element covers the users sacroiliac at the base of the user's spine.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, which provides an elastic back wrap and is generally indicated as 10. As used herein elastic refers to that property of a material whereby the material, when subjected to a tensile force, will stretch or expand in the direction of the force and will essentially return to its original untensioned dimension upon removal of the force. Elastic back wrap 10 is comprised of a substantially rectangular piece of flexible web 12 having a longitudinal axis 18. Flexible web 12 has a first end 14 and a second end 16 and an elastic portion 20 therebetween capable of being stretched along longitudinal axis 18. Flexible web 12 also has a first edge 56 and an opposing second edge 58, both first edge 56 and second edge 58 extending from first end 14 to second end 16. Flexible web 12 further has a length, as measured in a direction parallel to longitudinal axis 18, which is great enough to encircle a user's waist and allow first end 14 to overlap second end 16 when wrap 10 is stretched around a user. Flexible web 12 of back wrap 10 has a body-facing side 28 and a continuous outer surface 30, both body-facing side 28 and outer surface 30 extending from first end 14 to second end 16.
Elastic member 64 can be selected from natural or synthetic rubber, or any number of polymeric materials which are capable of elongation and recovery. Suitable materials include but are not limited to: Styrene Block Copolymers; rubber, and Lycra™, a trademark of E. I. DuPont De Nemours of Wilmington, Del., and Krayton™, a trademark of Shell Oil Co. of Houston, Tex. They may also include: polyethylenes including metallocene catalyst PE; foams, including polyurethane and polyester, etc. Elastic member 64 can be in the form of: strands, scrims, ribbons, tapes, structural elastic-like films.
