  • Patent number: 4968483
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for the production of oxygenated blood. The apparatus incorporates a vessel for containing the blood that is to be processed, an ultraviolet lamp and an infrared lamp being associated with the vessel. A feed pipe extends into the vessel to a position near the bottom of the vessel, such feed pipe being connected to a source of ozone. The vessel is essentially in the form of an inverted bottle, the neck opening of which is closed and the base of which incorporates a central opening for the feed pipe, the vessel and the feed pipe being designed as disposable items. The vessel is installed in the area of a working surface of the apparatus so as to be releasable therefrom, while the feed pipe is connectable to a coupling on a line that leads to the ozone source.

  • Patent number: 4754146
    Abstract: A sun-tanning apparatus has a supporting or bed surface and a plurality of low-pressure UV-A tubes arranged parallel to and at a distance from each other as radiation generators in a housing of the apparatus, the UV-A tubes being installed in a trough-like reflector and being covered on top by the supporting surface that rests on the side walls of the housing and which permits the passage of UA-V radiation. A largely even and flat radiation outlet is provided immediately above the supporting surface by using spacers arranged over the length and/or breadth of the apparatus between the low-pressure UA-V tubes, the supporting surface resting on the upper ends of said spacers, the lower ends of said spacers being attached in or on the base of the reflector. The spacers are a plurality of stand-off bolts that are distributed over the length and breadth of the apparatus, the supporting surface resting on the upper ends of the bolts, the lower ends of the bolts being secured in the base of the reflector.
