Wall integrated multisensory therapy device
A wall integrable multisensory therapy device for securement in a wall of a room dedicated for physiological therapeutic treatment is described. The device has a convection conduit with a bottom air intake and a top air outlet. A blower is secured between the inlet port and outlet port to heat air convected therethrough. Associated with the convection conduit is a front panel incorporating therein audio speakers and two different light sources, one being a white light source and the other being a colored light source. The white light source provides a luminotherapeutic sensation and the colored light source provides a chromotherapeutic sensation. The heated air provides a thermotherapeutic sensation. An aromatic liquid dispenser is also associated with the front panel provides an aromatherapeutic sensation. An audio transmitter equipped with speakers provides for a relaxing sensation of hearing to a user person. A control module is associated with a data processor which is programmed to generate combinations of these treatments some being adjustable in intensity levels and all having time adjustment capabilities, as programmed for selection by the user person.
1. A wall integratable multisensory therapy device for securement in a wall of a room dedicated for physiological therapeutic treatment, said device comprising an air convection conduit having a bottom air intake port and an upper air outlet port, a blower in said conduit for displacing air from said air intake port to said air outlet port, air heating means secured in said conduit intermediate said air intake port and said air outlet port for producing a thermotherapeutic air treatment to generate a sensation of touch to a user, sound generating speaker means in a front panel of said device to generate an audible sensation to the user, said front panel co-extending with said air convection conduit and permitting access to an interior space of said air convection conduit, a first light source for producing a luminotherapeutic treatment in a frontal area of said front panel to generate a visual sensation to the user, a second lighting source for generating a chromotherapeutic treatment in said frontal area of said front panel to generate a further different visual sensation to the user, aromatic liquid dispensing means for dispensing an aromatic substance in the air displaced in said conduit to produce an aromatherapeutic treatment thereby stimulating a sensation of smell to the user, and a control module associated with a programmable data processor programmed to generate sensation stimulus from combinations of at least two of said treatments, said treatments having variable intensity levels and duration adjustment capabilities, said control module having switch means to select a desired one of said programmed sensation stimulus.
2. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first light source is comprised of one or more fluorescent light sources capable of generating a white light intensity of about 10,000 lux.
3. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said sound generating speaker means are coupled to a programmable audio transmitting device.
4. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said front panel is an access door panel, said access door having a hinged water-tight thin transparent frontal panel hingedly secured thereover and capable of transmitting sound and light.
5. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said front panel is hingedly secured to said air convection conduit to provide access to an interior space of said conduit and devices secured therein.
6. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said aromatic liquid dispensing means is comprised of an aromatic oil contained in a droplet dispenser and having spray producing means to dispense a spray of said aromatic oil in said convection conduit above said blower.
7. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 2 wherein said fluorescent light sources are contained in a waterproof housing secured to said conduit behind said front panel, said waterproof housing having a contour wall in which a plurality of said (light emitting diodes) are secured all around said waterproof housing.
8. A wall integratable therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said switch means of said control panels provides for the user to select a predefined sensation experience which is programmed using a selected sequential order of said treatments, the time of some of said treatments and the intensity of individual ones of said treatments, said sensation experience having a time variable transition period.
