The invention relates to a device for generating a radiation field for exposing or irradiating a person scarf-blaze , in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.

The sonication or irradiation of a person is used in many ways for obtaining physiological or psychological effects. Regarding the exposing a person it is approximately known, low-frequency sound of selected frequency ranges to be administered. Acoustic irradiations achieve a therapeutic effect with the help of the, by the low frequency vibrations generated depth relaxation of the patient, as well as by the introduced energy of the sound waves, the heat provides merges approximately in, or for a restructuring of fabrics, tapes, filaments or muscles. Good progress could about upon back, knee, [...][...] , diarrhea, and clogging, migraine and rule complaints , as well as in chronic [...]blister inflammations be detected. relaxingstress-solving and low frequency vibrations act also. Sound sources, the frequencies below 100 Hz produce, are also known as "Subwoofer" bass amplifier or. The so-generated vibrations transmitted to the patient's body and are directly as low frequency vibrations tactilely. Through the direct transfer of these oscillations to the body instead of an acoustic perception these vibrations are subject to but not the cognitive filtering.

Different forms of light therapy are known about a person as regards the irradiation, in which an individual to be treated by irradiation with electromagnetic radiation mainly in the visible frequency range measurable effects in the physiological range, as well as widely recognised effects in the mental range can be achieved. On this way, many people can be alleviated by applying light of appropriate frequencies of the long-term health. One of these long-term health is about than seasonal-affective disorder (SAD- [...][...] disorder) known, which is a depressive disorder, depressive symptoms which, besides the, for example in the form of a printed mood, reducing the energy level and anxiety, yet sleep duration as extension of the atypical features, weight gain, or elevated accidents be added. In clinically less pronounced in these demonstrations in a general deterioration in the long-term health or psychological burdens depressiveness processing.

The sonication or irradiation of persons in the therapeutic range is carried out by means of scarf-blaze radiation sources, are arranged in an appropriate distance for the person. In practice it turns out, however that the physiological or psychological effects achieved by the acoustic irradiation or irradiation have a high variability with the same irradiance [...] , for the most part subject to individually different susceptibility of the treated persons scarf-blazelight therapies states opposite.

It is therefore the aim of the invention to provide a device, can be optimized with the the sonication or irradiation of persons, in order to improve the effectiveness and their reproducibility scarf-blazelight therapies to increase from about.

They shall be achieved by the features of claim 1. Claim 1 relates to a device for generating a radiation field for exposing or irradiating a person scarf-blaze , in which according to the invention it is proposed, with a closable access opening for the to be sound-swept or that a person is provided, a housing be irradiated, wherein the housing forms a closed interior space in the closed access opening, the inner surface of which forms the shape of a is mirrored and performed [...] , wherein within the space defined by said light sources are arranged [...][...]sound sources and/or defined Inn. The apparatus of the present invention enables the inclusion of a person in their dimensions, wherein the housing completely surrounds the person. The [...][...]hn side surfaces is a polyhedron having a total, in other words six squares and eight equilateral triangles, wherein opposing side faces are aligned parallel to each other. The [...] is in particular the only polyhedron, wherein the distance of the vertices to the center of the its edge length corresponds to [...]. Due to the according to the invention favours [...] to visible light mirror coating of the inside surfaces of the reflections are provided for, so that a homogeneous and adjusts approximately isotropic scarf-blaze radiation field. Tests of the applicant have shown that a compared to other [...] exported [...] irradiation chamber in the form of a according to the invention a sonication or irradiation [...]mk [...] the geometries as regards physiologically measurable parameters such as skin temperature approximately, blood pressure or pulse rate maximized. It can be presumed that this effectiveness is based on that for desired effects, the concern the systemic of the person, a uniform exposure of its body by sound or radiation is beneficial. The in conventional devices to the body of the individual to be treated with the square of the distance is reduced, on the other hand, applied power, also the body can only ever scarf-blaze the person with known devices are irradiated on the side facing the radiation sources or sonicated. By contrast, the apparatus of the present invention allows the placement of a person within a approximately isotropic and homogeneous [...]. Radiation field, value to the sonicated and/or irradiated person expresses in particular therein that a localizing a little more scarf-blaze light source is possible.

Furthermore, it is proposed that is provided in the interior space a seating area, wherein at least one sound source within the seating area with a in the direction of the seat surface and the seat surface is arranged a sound outlet aperture directed [...]sounds m. The Seating possibility enables a particularly advantageous light into the interior of the coupling of sound and [...]. Due to the seated person situated within the attitude of the coupling of the sound is thus a [...] enables [...] and in the direction of the spinal column in the region of the. Such a physiological and psychological effects of the sonication the coupling maximized. Furthermore, it is proposed that also at least one light source is disposed within the seating area. This, however is also conceivable that are arranged and outside the Seating possibility [...] sound sources, for example in the form of LEDs, and in particular in a bottom surface of the in the side faces are countersunk arranged [...]. The arrangement enables a direct coupling, however, not only in the body within the seating area within the person situated [...] , but also a keeping free of the reflective side surfaces of, the reflection sometimes interfering components.

The invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment explained by means of the attached Figures. Shown in so doing the

The Fig. [...] irradiation chamber 1 shows a according to the invention, with the side surfaces 2 1 a is limited [...]. The [...] 2 is performed sufficiently large in its dimensions, so as to offer a seated person place is indicated, as in the 1 schematically Fig.. The side surfaces 2 are here located at a suitable distance from the 1 [...] of the person, so as to avoid an unpleasant feeling of incommodiousness to maximise, but in a sufficiently small distance, around the power density of the radiation field scarf-blaze. The inner surfaces of the side surfaces are mirrored carried out 1, so that visible light is well reflected. The mirrored reflections of sound admittedly also favoured execution. The person enters the [...] irradiation chamber by a fold-out side surface, after taking Closing the seating position. The [...] 2 rests on a bottom plate 7, by one of its lateral faces 1, in the shown embodiment, one of its triangles is formed.

[...] a seating area is located within the 3, 4 and 5 has a seat surface a transparent the exported base. A 2 3 is represented in the Fig. embodiment of the seating area. Within of the base 6 are at least one sound source 4, approximately in the form of a woofer , and at least a light source (in the 1 and 2 cannot see Fig.), for example in the form of LEDs, arranged. The generates sound waves with a frequency of less than 100 Hz and preferably 6 sound source is so positioned that the generated sound is emitted in the direction of the seat surface 5, where it leaves the outlet 5 by a the seat surface.
