Specification

The invention relates to creation of a chamber in which human body parts like arm or leg or body portion below the waist can be inserted and a vacuum then created, with the help of a vacuum pump or motor, so that the inserted part experiences a pull due to the force of vacuum and the blood flowing through the inserted part then forcefully makes its way through the micro capillaries, thereby opening the blocked blood & lymphatic capillaries.
The machine consists of a circular chamber sealed on one end and having a iris type lens opening on the other end, which can be closed manually thereby effectively sealing the chamber. The machine is having electrical system to control a vacuum motor fitted under the chamber and connected through a tube with the chamber for creating a vacuum on intermittent basis.
Background of the invention
To improve blood circulation many inventions have been around the corner but all other inventions have used either stockings or compression methods to put pressure on the body part but no invention has ever created a system where complete lower body or legs or arms can be put in a chamber for creating a vacuum , and then putting the force of vacuum to improve the blood circulation and lymphatic system by opening up the blocked micro capillaries.
Patent application number US20070167884A1 relates to vacuum-assisted negative pressure to provide compression and help pump fluid from the tissues of affected limbs. The devide is embodied in the form of a flexible stocking-like garment that

will utilize a pumping mechanism to generate negative pressure around the limb and thus create vacuum compression that will mobilize fluid in a limb and increase venous return to the heart. This is entirely different from my invention as it uses stocking like garment to put pressure on the legs. It also cannot put any force on the complete portion of lower body.
Patent application number US20110295168A1 relates to an invention which employs vacuum-assisted negative pressure to provide compression and help
pump fluid from the tissues ofaffected limbs. Through the use of a circumferential
■ ■'•'( wrap, the present invention provides advance in both the distribution
of vacuum and the securing of the device over the limb but does so only through a
wrap. This is entirely different from my invention as it uses stockingjike garment
to put pressure on the legs. It also cannot put any force on the complete portion of
lower body.
Patent application number US20110015585A1 relates to a method and device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing which includes equipment to (a) apply a negative pressure compressible therapeutic dressing about a wound; (b) compress the therapeutic dressing using negative pressure to subject the wound and the therapeutic dressing to a first predetermined pressure which is low enough to provide therapy to the wound and high enough to maintain a seal between the dressing and the wound; and (c) decompress the therapeutic dressing to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first pre-determined

pressure sufficient to maintain the dressing in a generally sealed contact with the wound while relaxing compression about the wound. This is entirely different from my invention as it uses therapeutic type dressing to put pressure on the legs. It also cannot put any force on the complete portion of lower body.
Another patent application number WO2009086580A1 relates to an invention which is related to the field of negative pressure treatment, particularly, a device capable of providing such treatment for wounds and other conditions susceptible to amelioration with negative pressure. The device of the invention comprises at least two lumens; one lumen is dedicated to extracting fluids and other non-gaseous materials, while the other lumen is dedicated to extracting gaseous materials. Use of these lumens permits non-rigid waste collection vessels, with advantages associated therewith. This is entirely different from my invention as it uses fluid based negative pressure to put force on the wounds.. It also cannot put any force on the complete portion of lower body.
Objective of the invention:
1. The objective of the invention is to create such a mechanical system which can generate the force of negative pressure or force of vacuum on a human body part when inserted inside the machine.
2. Another aim is to use such negative pressure for speeding up the flow of
i
blood through the veins and arteries inside the inserted portion through this force
3. Yet another aim is to increase the flow of venous drainage through opening
up of lymphatic system

3: Yet another aim is to smoothen the muscles and nerves of the body parts so inserted inside the machine.
4: Yet another function is to help injuries heal faster by increasing the flow of blood through the injured part by providing proper oxygen and nutrition.

Detailed description based on drawings
The present invention is described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may however be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein: rather these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough & complete and will fully convey the scope of those skilled in art.
As shown in figure 1, there is an intermittent vacuum therapy machine consisting of (1) a digital touch control system for controlling the on/off function of the machine along with controlling the timing intermittently: (2) a vacuum chamber to allow the patients insert their arms or legs or lower body below the waist area, by making the chamber small or big in size, (3) a box which houses the vacuum motor and other components for sucking the air from the vacuum chamber (5) a sealing system on one side of the chamber through which the patient shall insert any body part, such system able to seal the opening with airtight grip so that no

air shall go into the vacuum chamber once the machine is switched on and (6) a bed on which the patient shall lie down.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the vacuum chamber (7) which is closed on one end and has an opening on the other end through which the patient can insert a
body part. This end has a lens, also called an Iris which can make this end airtight
*
so that no air can pass through once the patient has inserted a body part inside and the machine has been switched on.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the digital touch control of the machine which has an on/off switch (8), an electronic Programmed Logic Controller (PLC) (9) which controls the entire function of the machine through a software. This PLC can time the operation of the machine in variable manner.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the Lens or the Iris which is fixed on one side of the Vacuum chamber (7). The Iris is a circular piece of flexible, air & water proof material, like raxine'(14), which is framed in two plastic pieces wjth the help of bolts & nuts (15), one such piece fixed to the chamber and the other piece held into its place by thre£ wheels (15 & 16) around which such a rim can move in clockvyise or anti clock wise direction. The movement results into getting this raxine twisted and thus gripping the human body part tightly. Such a motion can be effected with the help of a handle (17) fixed on the frame.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the lock which allows the iris to stay in locked position when it has gripped the body part of the patient. This lock has a handle (18) which has a movable pin (19) towards its lower end. Such pin can slide forward or backward and engage itself in the grooves (20) of the plate. In the forward position the pin gets locked with the grooves and the lock cannot move whereas in the backward position the pin gets free and the lock can open up the grip by moving in anti-clockwise direction.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the box which houses the vacuum motor and the sound proof acoustic material. The motor is connected to the chamber through a solenoid valve which opens up when the motor starts thus allowing the air to be sucked from the chamber and creating a vacuum there.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of the bed which has a bed on the top of a box, on which the patient can lie down. This bed can be moved in any direction, as it is movable on wheels.

I Claim:
1: An intermittent Vacuum Therapy machine consisting of a vacuum chamber, attached to a vacuum motor, which can draw air out of such a chamber and create vacuunrby sealing one end of the vacuum chamber with an Iris type t lens, so as to exert the force of negative pressure on any human body part so inserted inside the chamber and act to improve blood circulatory and lymphatic system of the body.
2: A vacuum chamber as claimed jn claim 1, sealed at one end and open at the other end, such open end having an Iris type lens which when rotated clockwise seals the opening completely, thus making the chamber airtight and able to create vacuum inside when air is drawn with the help of a vacuum motor as in claim 1.
