THERMO-ELECTRIC DEVICE FOR LOCAL CONTRASTING TEMPERATURE EFFECT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01L35/28 A61H39/06 

FIELD: medicine, possible use, in particular, during reflex therapy.

SUBSTANCE: thermo-electric module consists of alternating circular branches, made, respectively, from semiconductor of n-type and p-type, serially connected in electrical circuit by means of commutation plates, electric connection of branches is realized by contact: n-type branch -commutation plate - p-type branch - commutation plate, n-type branch, etc. Semiconductor branches and commutation plates have circular shape. Commutation plates are provided with eight square leaves. Leaves are bent at direct angle to commutation plane so, that if one of them is bent to one side, then next one is bent to other side with forming of a polyhedron. Onto leaves of commutation plates, electro-isolating heat-conductive cover is applied (or example, lacquer). Device is provided with handle, which connects to thermo-electric battery through bearings. Power current to thermo-electric battery is fed along handle of device through electric brushes.

EFFECT: increased reliability of device, simplified construction of device.
