DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Throughout the drawings like reference characters are used to designate like elements for each of the embodiments.
A.
Pain and Swelling (SMS-P) The electromagnetic treatment device of the invention is schematically illustrated in FIG.
1.
Treatment device 10 includes a magnetic flux generator 12 and a power source 14.
According to the invention, magnetic flux generator 12 comprises a plurality of electromagnetic bodies having at least four magnetic poles substantially in a single plane, the magnetic poles being oriented to define the four vertices of a quadrilateral shape.
Preferably, the four magnetic poles comprise two positive and two negative poles, the two positive poles defining opposite diagonal vertices and the two negative poles defining opposite diagonal vertices of the quadrilateral shape.
Each of the magnetic poles are magnetically attracted to the two oppositely charged poles and magnetically repelled by the like charged poles.
Containment means hold the magnetic poles of the magnetic bodies in the above described configuration.
Attached to the containment means are three (3) important and function altering components of the technology.
Flux return ring 16a is attached to the bottom of the described 4 electromagnetic heads, this ring enhances the flux field and controls unwanted stray induction currents as well as stray flux from the opposite pole.
A flux focusing ring 16 is positioned around the flux heads adjacent to the insulated wire coils, it being about 2.
5 inches wide (6.
35 cm) and 1/4 to .
sub.
1/2 inches (6.
35 mm-12.
7 mm) thick.
Attachment means hold the focusing ring in proper location for maximum benefit.
Attached to the flux focusing ring are focusing coils 18a, 20a, 22a and 24a.
These focusing coils are attached to the flux focusing ring in proximity to a head of like charge and at a 45
