Patent ID: 8712555

Claim:
A portable device for treating the bites or stings of insects and harmful creatures, comprising: a piezoelectric element configured for producing a predetermined difference in electrical potential; an actuating element operable by a user and associated with said piezoelectric element to impart to the piezoelectric element a predetermined state of stress; a discharge area electrically connected to the piezoelectric element and positionable in proximity to an area of a patient which has been bitten/stung in order to impart to the patient an electrical discharge generated by said difference in electrical potential; a monolithic containing body configured for housing the piezoelectric element, the actuating element and the discharge area, the monolithic containing body comprising a monolithic shell configurable between an assembly condition allowing the insertion of the piezoelectric element and/or the actuating element, and an operating condition defining a housing space, the monolithic containing body comprising a connecting section ( 5 d ), a first lobe ( 5 c ) and a second lobe ( 5 c ) joined without breach of continuity, the connecting section ( 5 d ) including a first pliable portion ( 5 e ) connecting the connecting section ( 5 d ) to the first lobe ( 5 c ), the connecting section ( 5 d ) including a second pliable portion ( 5 e ) connecting the connecting section ( 5 d ) to the second lobe ( 5 c ), each pliable portion ( 5 e , 5 e ) providing a folding line effective to permit the first and second lobes ( 5 c , 5 c ) to be folded together so as to create said operating condition, the connecting section ( 5 d ) having at least one through hole containing a polarised portion which is electrically connected to the piezoelectric element.
