--------- Ultraviolet rays for the treatment of the body are known in the form of ultraviolet radiation lamps which radiate only a part of the body, particularly the upper face and trunk of the body, and in the form of solar which can radiate the whole body

The person to be treated must maintain a distance from the exit opening of the beams of the apparatus, which distance in the case of lamps which are usually in the form of table devices is between 600 and 1000 mm and in the case of solar that in gene

Such retroreflecting apparatuses are frequently used only for obtaining a tanning effect. Before it zatura, there is a whole succession of a series of other harmful biological effects, in the first place the inflammation by scalding with subsequent formation of scales and skin encasing. The threshold dose that causes an inflammation by scalding is reached already after a few minutes of epenent emeritus by the density of radiation reigning on the skin surface, while in this instant in practice there has not yet been any tanning of the skin; therefore the irradiation must be repeated several times and the duration of the irradiation can be slightly increased each time.

Low-pressure mercury burners have a calorific value which is so low that it does not represent practically any thermal stress for the person dealing with it. However, they have a substantially higher ultraviolet A radiating power than other ultraviolet ray generators. Therefore they are placed relatively close together next to each other and each one is fitted with a reflector. In this way, a uniformly bright field with a high density of ultraviolet rays A is obtained directly in front of the exit aperture of the beams,

The greater the emission power of ultraviolet rays A more quickly the desired tanning is achieved. Therefore it is advantageous that the power of each mercury burner.

Then the re flector takes on a double function. On the one hand, it ensures that in front of the outlet there are sufficiently large surfaces with high ultraviolet radiation A, and at the same time it separates a part of the disturbing radiation from the desired radiation. In addition, the undesired heat and light radiation is transmitted to the reflector, i.e. on the back side of the apparatus, where it does not disturb and where it can also easily remedy any heat development. The diaphragm prevents any radiation of light or heat from being radiated forward.

In the generation of a high-density field of ultraviolet rays A, adapted to the height of a person, it is convenient to arrange the output opening of the spokes or respectively the exit apertures of the overlapped beams in a vertical plane

In this case, a treatment to be carried out alone may take place in front of the exit opening of the rails, for example on a marked post surface, or by means of support and a supporting device determining the irradiation distance and that prevents you to move back. This is a particularly simple possibility to use the high-density field of ultraviolet rays A located adherently in front of the apparatus.

In this case, is it convenient to associate each with two more axes c a1i, located at an angle of 90 ° between gold? an exit opening of the spokes

The distances b between adjacent burners 5 amount to about 7% of the diameter of the rods of the cylinders. Consequently the median planes 12 have no on the line at a reciprocal distance b + c.

These median pions are perpendicular to line a; the median planes 12a and 12b of the two extreme reflectors 4 form an angle of less than 80% 20 between them

A field 15 with a width of 70 cm and a height of 1.5 m corresponding to the length of the burners is formed at a distance d = 1.Ο_οπι in front of the beam exit aperture 2. Because of the small distance of this cam from the burners 5 "due to the number of burners, their chosen power in the field J of the ultraviolet rays A and because of the arrangement of the burners on the curved line and of the respective reflectors, in the Radiation field 13 it is possible to obtain a density of ultra-fine rays A of about 12 mW / cm. This density may slightly decrease towards the edge, but it is always ...

still considerably higher than 4 mV. '/ cm.

Fig. 9 shows the casing 1 with the low pressure mercury burners $, mentioned behind the opening 2 of the appliance, in combination with a mirror cabinet or shelf 5§. The same is assembled with the casing to form a rotating piece of furniture on a foot 57. Normally the element 50 is visible. By means of 180 ° rotation, the beam outlet opening 2 is in the opposite direction.

In fig. 10 four assembly assemblies according to Fig. 1 are assembled to form a solar panel. They are installed side by side as a wall between two side walls 58 and are covered by a roof 59. On the corresponding floor 60 four stools 61 are fixed at such a distance that a person sitting or resting on the stool is at the correct irradiation distance .

In Fig. 13, mounting assemblies with a stable filter plate 9 are arranged horizontally with slight inclination, so that the outgoing opening 2 of the spokes is directed upwardly. Such irradiation beds 67 can be arranged individually or, as illustrated, in more side by side, fixed or transportable.

In fig. 14 an assembly assembly with a tripod 68 is fixedly fixed to the wall of a compartment above a bed 69. The opening 2 of the spokes is directed obliquely towards the base, so that the bed 69 is easily accessible.

Let us suppose that the beam generator 102 of beams is a xenon burner. How is vii i

from the curve V of FIG. 4, a xenon burner emanates in the ultraviolet ray range, predominantly ultraviolet A, but also generates a remarkable radiation of light and heat.

The median portion 109 of the reflector is designed so that it substantially reflects only ultraviolet diaphragms 11J5_V while letting the radiation of light and heat pass 114. As a consequence all the undesired radiation of light and drop-i

The diaphragm 104 prevents not only that disturbing light and heat radiation are directed forward on the user, but provides also so that all of the radium which arrives directly at the reflector _1O5 hits the median filtering asphalt portion 109. By means of the conformation of the diaphragm 104 as a second reflector it is further provided so that direct forward radiation is also deviated by a first reflection on the medium section. with a filtering mirror 109 θ then, possibly after further reflection, is made to exit the outlet opening 106, as shown by the spoke 116. In front of thethus, a large surface field with a relatively high ultraviolet radiation density, but with a small ultraviolet radiation density B and C, is not detrimental.

The invention can be modified in numerous ways. For example the illustrated assembly groups!
