Description

The The invention relates to a beeswax wrap according to the preamble of the claim 1.

such Wickel are for example in the book of the applicant "Wickel & Co., strong home remedies for children ", Urs-Verlag, 4. 2004 edition described. The application of wrapping is as a home remedy Known for centuries and is nowadays in support of conventional medical applications for recurrent infections or chronic Diseases applied. Wrap wraps with gentle cold or cold Heat stimuli the immune forces and support so the organism in the defense against pathogens and relief from pain. Usually Wraps consist of at least two wipes, an inner cloth and an outdoor towel, with some applications, for example Kneipp-wrapping is still an intermediate cloth is used. The inner cloth is usually made of linen, cotton or gauze and acts as carrier the active substance, such as water, quark. The outer cloth can be, for example, wool, silk or cotton molton and should cover the inner cloth and works frequently for heat insulation.

When So-called beeswax wraps have proven to be particularly effective coughing, tension, tension-related headache, Sciatic discomfort etc. are very effective and in particular to be accepted by children. In such beeswax wraps becomes a carrier material For example, a cotton cloth soaked in beeswax, so that after curing the beeswax forms a kind of beeswax plate. This one will then tailored to different sizes and sizes depending on the application be used several times. So far, these were beeswax plates for the application first only one heat source, for example, a hair dryer heated and then applied to the body part to be treated. For fixation of the beeswax wrap can about it put on a wrap shirt or a tight fitting undershirt, so that the heated Wrap on the body part to be treated depressed becomes. Through this undershirt, the heat losses are reduced, so that a premature cooling is preventable.

Even though Such beeswax wrap of the persons to be treated very Well accepted, one strives to change the scope expand. The invention is therefore based on the object, a Beeswax wrap with improved effect.

These Task is characterized by a beeswax wrapping with the characteristics of Claim 1 solved.

Of the Beeswax wrap according to the invention exists from a carrier material, For example, cotton fabric that soaked in beeswax and in a predetermined shape and size is present. According to the invention Beeswax a percentage of additives, preferably ethereal or fatty oils attached.

The warming and relaxing effect of the wax wrap is made with the incorporated essential oils or supported the other additives, so that the scope of the beeswax wrap opposite the conventional one Beeswax plates can be expanded.

When Optimal has a share of additives of 5% with respect to Proportion of beeswax exposed.

Especially Suitable additives are thyme linalool in olive oil and / or lavender or fatty oils.

The support material is preferably formed by a cotton fabric, which then in soaked in beeswax and added with the additives.

other advantageous developments of the present invention are the subject further dependent claims.

in the The following will be a preferred embodiment of the invention explained in more detail with reference to schematic drawings. Show it:

1 a plan view of a winding structure according to the invention and

2 a side view of the winding structure 1 ,

In the in the 1 and 2 illustrated winding structure 1 it is a beeswax wrap, which consists essentially of a beeswax plate, the novel inventive an outer fabric 4 attached, which forms a kind of heat pad. The fixation of the beeswax plate 2 via two diametrically arranged retaining tabs 6 . 8th the beeswax plate 2 sections overlap.

The beeswax plate 2 consists essentially of a carrier material, for example of a cotton fabric, which is soaked in beeswax, so that forms after curing of the beeswax a beeswax plate, which is cut to the desired size. In most cases, this beeswax plate - as in 1 shown - rectangular cut. The effect of the beeswax plate is improved by soaking them with essential oils, for example thyme linalool or lavender, the thyme is preferably dissolved in olive oil, the addition of these essential oils or other active ingredients preferably at about 5-10% (weight percent in comparison to beeswax). Instead of or in addition to the essential oils, it is also possible to use fatty oils, such as almond oil.

The heat pad (outer cloth 4 ) is unprecedented in the art. The outer cloth 4 of the illustrated embodiment is multi-layered and has according to 2 a front bearing surface formed by bourette silk 10 and a rear support surface 12 , which consists of cotton plush in the illustrated embodiment. Of course, other materials for the front and rear bearing surface can be used. However, these materials should preferably be made of natural fiber.

Through the pillow-like structure of the outer cloth 4 For example, the formed interior may be used to fill up padding materials or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the interior (not shown) of the pillow-shaped outer cloth 4 filled with sheep wool or spelled fur, so that a pillow-like heat pad is formed. The sheep wool is introduced untreated, the spelled fur should be a biological commodity. The beeswax plate 2 is preferably on the slightly rougher front bearing surface 10 made of Bourette silk, so that the plushy rear support surface with respect to the child to be treated lies outside and from this the feel is perceived as pleasant.

The outer cloth 4 (Warm pad) is also rectangular in shape and has a slightly larger area than the beeswax plate 2 so that it is completely covered. The two retaining tabs 6 . 8th are attached to diametrically opposed corner areas, the attachment in the seam area between the front and rear support surface 10 . 12 done and the retaining tabs 6 . 8th at an angle of about 45 ° to the side edges of the outer cloth 4 run.

To fix the beeswax plate 2 with the two diametrically opposite corner areas under the two retaining tabs 6 . 8th plugged so that a reliable positional fixation takes place. These retaining tabs 6 may in turn be formed of cotton or of an elastic material.

Of course, other forms of winding can be constructed according to the concept of the invention. In some cases, a single, the carrier material überstreckende retaining tab be sufficient. For more complex cases, more than two retaining tabs may be required. In the provided for children wrapping the retaining tabs 6 . 8th preferably printed with a child-friendly motif. Instead of the band-shaped retaining tabs other suitable retaining elements such as Velcro, etc. can be used.

It is intended, the winding structure as a set or that outer fabric 4 (Heat pad) as a single item to sell, so that this can be combined with suitable winding.

By the combination of essential oils with the Wax and improving the heat effect of the beeswax wrap by the heat pad becomes the effect effectively and skin friendly supported. Without the heat pad according to the invention would the Beeswax plate become much faster cold and re-harden and thereby at effectiveness as a gentle source of heat for relaxation or as a soothing traditionally used cough and cold wrap to lose.
