Patent ID: 7160434

Claim:
A therapeutic electrolysis device, comprising: a first integral plate assembly formed from a single sheet of planar conductive material, comprising: a terminal portion; an odd number of at least three plates, wherein said terminal portion interconnects said plates of said first integral plate assembly to a first electrical terminal and extends from one of said plates for a distance greater than a width of said terminal portion, and wherein said single piece of planar conductive material is folded so that each of said plates are substantially parallel to one another; a second integral plate assembly formed from a single sheet of planar conductive material, comprising: a terminal portion; an even number of plates, wherein said terminal portion interconnects said plates of said second integral plate assembly to a second electrical terminal and extends from one of said plates for a distance greater than a width of said terminal portion, and wherein said single piece of planar conductive material is folded so that each of said plates are substantially parallel to one another, wherein each of said odd number of plates is interposed between two of said even number of plates, and wherein said odd number of plates are separated from said even number of plates by a gap; a control unit, comprising first and second electrical output terminals; and electrical conductors, wherein said first electrical output terminal is interconnected to said terminal portion of said first integral plate assembly through said first terminal and said second output terminal is interconnected to said terminal portion of said second integral plate assembly through said second terminal.
