Embodiment Construction

[0025] In the specification, the same or corresponding parts have the same or corresponding reference numerals. The exemplary embodiments shown are not to be construed as limiting in any way, but are for illustration only.

[0026] figure 1 A schematic side sectional view of an embodiment of a pressure actuator 1 is shown. The pressure actuator 1 shown comprises a SMM (shape memory material) 2 and a heating element 3 . A carrier structure 4 connected to the SMM 2 and the heating element 3 is provided. In this example, the SMM 2 is changed shape by heating. For this a heating element 3 is provided. In use, a change in shape of the SMM 2 causes the pressure actuator 1 to exert a pressure P against the skin 7 of a person, for example. In a particular embodiment, the load-bearing structure 4 is at least partially flexible, eg, to prevent excessive reaction forces on the SMM 2 . This is also advantageous for wearing structures such as clothing or attire.

Abstract

Pressure actuator, provided with a carrier structure, shape memory material, integrated with and / or attached to the carrier structure, and at least one heating element in the vicinity of the shape memory material that is configured to at least locally vary the shape of the shape memory material that is in the vicinity of the heating element. In specific embodiments, the pressure actuator is provided with at least one heating element separate from the shape memory material, which at least one heating element may be configured to vary temperature within the shape memory material locally.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pressure actuator. Background technique [0002] For certain healing and / or cosmetic procedures, it is beneficial to apply pressure to certain locations on the body. However, common pressure garments used do not adequately facilitate the healing and / or cosmetic process. [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a means of promoting healing and / or cosmetic processes. Contents of the invention [0004] The above and other objects of the present invention may be achieved alone or in combination, wherein the present invention comprises a pressure actuator comprising a load-bearing structure, a shape memory material integral with and / or attached to said load-bearing structure, and said At least one heating element in the vicinity of the shape memory material, the heating element configured to at least partially change the shape of the shape memory material in the vicinity of the heating element.
