    2 is provided with a pattern indicating a length of the strap which has been threaded through the loop to thereby indicate a degree of tension applied to the limb.
    Since the degree of tension applied to the limb is indicated, a magnetotherapeutic band is provided which reduces the risk of misuse.
    As a result, the above object is achieved.
    In addition, a more secure strap than those described in the prior art is provided, as the user can recognize the tension applied to the limb, via the pattern indicating a length of the strap threaded through the loop.
    Furthermore, since the tension applied to the limb is visually indicated by the arrangement, a user who has a reduced sensitivity in a limb can apply a suitable tension to the limb without sensing the tension.
    In some embodiments, the pattern includes lines, numbers, and / or colors that vary in appearance along a length of the pattern. In such embodiments, thanks to the pattern of lines, numbers and / or colors having varying appearances along a length of the pattern, a user can easily identify the length of the strap threaded through the loop, and thus also recognize a degree of tension applied to the limb. This further reduces the risk of incorrect use.
    According to certain embodiments, the holder comprises an inner surface arranged to abut against the user's limb, the pattern being arranged on a first surface of the strap, and the first surface facing in the same direction as the inner surface in a non-treaded state of the strap, where the pattern is arranged on the first surface so that an increasing part of the pattern becomes visible to the user, when the band is tensioned in a tired state of the band. As an increasing part of the pattern becomes visible to the user, the user can perceive the length of the strap which is threaded through the loop in a simple manner and thus can also perceive the degree of tension applied to the limb in a simple manner. This further reduces the risk of incorrect use.
    According to certain embodiments, the strap comprises a first and a second fastening means arranged on a second surface of the belt, which is opposite the first surface, the first fastening means being arranged in an area of the free end of the belt, and wherein the first fastening means is arranged to mating with the second fastener when the strap is folded in a tired condition of the strap to thereby secure the strap. Since the first fastening means is arranged to fit together with the second fastening means, the strap is easy to fasten. Because the strap is easy to attach, the strap is easy to use and easy to attach around the user's limb.
    In some embodiments, the one or more magnets are flexible. Since the one or more magnets are flexible, the one or more magnets will assume a shape suitable for a user's limb when clamping the strap, and the strap will be comfortable to use.
    According to certain embodiments, the band comprises at least three elongate magnets arranged in the holder so that the direction of extension of the elongate magnets coincides with the direction of extension of the band. Since the band comprises at least three elongate magnets arranged in the holder so that the direction of extension of the elongate magnets coincides with the direction of extension of the band, the magnets will cover a large area of the holder and thus also cover a large area of the user's limb.
    According to some embodiments, the at least three elongate magnets are arranged in the holder with a mutually alternating polarity. Since the at least three elongate magnets are arranged in the holder with a mutually alternating polarity, a contractile magnetic force is obtained between the magnets.
    According to some embodiments, the strap is stretchable. Since the strap is stretchable, the degree of tension applied to the limb can be specified, via the length to which the strap is threaded through the loop, with improved accuracy. In such embodiments, the extensibility of the strap may be co-designed with the pattern so that extensibility along with a length of the elements in the pattern corresponding to a length of the strap threaded through the loop results in a predetermined tension of the strap. This further reduces the risk of incorrect use. In addition, because the strap is stretchable, the strap is comfortable to use.
    According to certain embodiments, the loop is arranged at a first end of the strap, which is opposite the free end, or at one end of the holder. Since the loop is arranged at a first end of the strap, which is opposite the free end, or at one end of the holder, the strap is easy to manufacture and easy to use.
    According to certain embodiments, the strap is arranged to be tightened around a user's bet to thereby alleviate discomfort arising from restless legs syndrome. Studies have shown that tension applied around a user's womb in combination with the magnets provides a beneficial effect in relieving discomfort arising from restless legs syndrome. Therefore, since the band indicates tension applied to the limb, a user can apply a desired tension to the limb and the effect can be improved.
    Additional features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon study of the appended claims and the following detailed description.
    Those skilled in the art will recognize that various features of the present invention may be combined to create embodiments other than those described below without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

A strap 7 is attached to the holder 3 and arranged to hold the holder 3 against the limb of a user. A loop 11 is provided at a first end 13 of the strap 1, through which a free end 15 of the strap 7 is pierceable to allow tension of the strap 1 around the limb of the user. The strap 7 is provided with a pattern 17 which indicates a length of the strap 7 which is threaded through the loop 11 to thereby indicate a degree of tension which is applied to the limb.
    The pattern 17 comprises lines 23 and numbers 25 which have a varying appearance along a length of the pattern 17 and thus also along a length of the strap 7. Such lines may be lines provided in a perpendicular direction relative to the length of the strap 7.
    A first line may also be arranged in a direction extending substantially along the length of the belt 7 and a second line may be arranged at an angle to the length of the belt 7 to thereby form segments having a varying extent in a direction perpendicular to the length of the belt 7. In addition, such segments can be provided with different numbers along the length of the belt 7. Thanks to these properties, a user can easily recognize the length of the strap 7 which has passed through the loop 11 in a tired condition of the strap 1. In addition, to further facilitate recognition of the length of the strap 7 which has passed through the loop 11 in a tired condition of the band 1, the segments and / or other properties of the pattern 17, may be provided in color / colors having a varying color scale along the pattern 17. For example, in the pattern 17 illustrated in Fig. 1, the segment located to the right of the segment provided with the figure, ie the segment furthest to the right Fig. 1, can be provided in a clear yellow color and the segment 24 provided with the number i.e. the segment on the far left in Fig. 1, can be provided in a clear red color, the segments between these segments being arranged in colors having a color scale which changes from yellow to red in a direction from right to left in Fig. 1. Thereby a user can easily identify the length of the strap 7 which has been threaded through the loop 11 in a tired condition of the strap 1, and thus also recognize a degree of tension applied to the limb.
    The pattern 17 can be provided with other properties than those described above. For example, the pattern 17 may comprise lines arranged in a direction perpendicular to the length of the strap 7, and / or an individual strip having the shape of an elongate triangle, and / or the pattern 17 may only comprise numbers having a varying value along the pattern 17 , and / or the pattern 17 may comprise only color / colors with varying color scales along the length of the pattern 17. In addition, the pattern 17 may comprise a combination of two or more of the functions described above. Furthermore, the pattern 17 may comprise lines forming rectangular segments having a size varying along the length of the pattern 17. Such rectangular segments may be arranged so that the extent of the rectangular segments increases in a direction perpendicular to the length of the strap. 7. Also, as with the example of the segments described above, such rectangular segments may each be provided with different numbers and / or colors having varying color scales along the pattern 17.
    The holder 3 comprises an inner surface 19 which is arranged to abut against the user's limb.
    The inner surface 19 of the holder 3 may be formed of a material which allows breathing and transport of sweat. The inner surface 19 of the holder 3 may be formed of a gas permeable, laminated material comprising polyamide, elastomer, and / or foam.
    The pattern 17 is provided on a first surface 21 of the strap 7, where the first surface 21 faces in the same direction as the inner surface 19 of the holder 3 in a non-treaded state of the strap 1, shown in Fig. 1.
    The holder 3 is provided with an outer layer formed of fabric material. The holder 3 may further comprise foam material arranged to give the user comfort. The holder 3 further comprises one or more pockets accommodating one or more magnets 5. The band 1 shown in Fig. 1 consists of three pockets housing three elongate magnets 5. As can be seen, the elongate magnets 5 are arranged side by side with an extension direction 51. coinciding with the direction of extension 52 of the belt 1. Thereby, the magnetic field of the magnets 5 covers a substantial area of the user's limb. In addition, as indicated by the symbols "+" and in Fig. 1, the magnets 5 are arranged in the holder 3 with a mutually alternating polarity. The magnet housed in the middle pocket is illustrated by the symbols "+" which indicate that this magnet is placed in the pocket so that a positive pole of the magnet is facing in the same direction as the inner surface 19 of the holder 3 in the non-stepped state of the band 1. Thereby, the positive pole of this magnet will face the user limb in the entered state of the band 1. Accordingly, the negative pole of the magnet housed in the middle pocket is turned in a direction opposite to the inner surface 19 of the holder 3 and thus away from the user limb in the stepped state of the strap 1. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, the two magnets housed in the two pockets located next to the middle pocket are illustrated by the symbols indicating that these magnets are located in the pockets so that a negative pole of these magnets is facing in the same direction as the inner surface 19 of the holder 3 in the non-stepped state of the band 1. Thereby the negative pole of these magnets The positive poles of these magnets are turned in a direction opposite to the inner surface 19 of the holder 3, and thus away from the user's member in the stepped state of the strap 1. 10 15 20 25 30 7 limb in the stepped state of the strap 1. The one or more magnets 5 included in the strap 1 may be flexible so that they at least partially adapt to a curvature of the user's limb. The one or more magnets 5 may be ferrite ceramic strontium magnets 5 with a field strength ranging from 2-5 mT (micro Tessla). The loop 11 may comprise a plastic material and comprises an opening suitable for receiving the belt 7. The loop 11 may be arranged at a first end 28 of the belt 7, which is opposite the free end 15 of the belt 7, as shown in Figs. 1, or at one end 27 of the holder 3.
    The strap 1 further comprises a flap 10 arranged at a first end 28 of the strap 7 opposite the free end 15 of the strap 7. Alternatively, the flap 10 is arranged at an end 27 of the holder 3. The flap 10 is arranged to form a filling between the loop 11 and the user's limb using the strap 1, ie in the stepped state of the strap 1. The tab 10 comprises a soft material to give the user comfort. In combination, the tab 10 may further comprise a rigid material to facilitate the positioning of the tab between the loop 11 and the user's limb when the strap is to be used.
    Fig. 2 illustrates a magnetotherapeutic band 1 in a tired condition according to certain embodiments. Here, the free end 15 of the strap 7 has been threaded through the loop 1 1 and the strap 1 has been placed around a user's bet 9.
    As illustrated in Fig. 2, since the pattern 17 is arranged on the first surface 21 of the belt 7, as described with reference to Fig. 1, an increasing part of the pattern 17 will become visible to the user when the belt 1 is tensioned in the entered condition. of the strap 1. Thereby a user can easily identify the length of the strap 7 which has passed through the loop 11 in the stepped state of the strap 1, and thus also recognize a certain degree of tension which is applied to the calf 9.
    The strap 7 may be extensible to enable stretching of the strap 7 along the extension direction of the strap 7. The strap 7 may comprise fabric and elastomeric material. The belt 7 can be attached to the holder 3 by extending through a channel 8 arranged on the holder 3, as shown in Fig. 2, the belt 7 extending through the channel 8 in the holder 3. The belt 7 can be slidably received in the channel 8, that is, the strap 7 can be slidably attached to the holder 3. As an alternative, the strap 7 can be attached to the holder 3 by means of sewing.
    In addition, as shown in Fig. 2, in the stepped state of the strap 1, the flap 10 is placed between the loop 11 and the user's member 9 to thereby form a padding between the loop 11 and the user's member 9. Irritation which may occur through contact between the loop 11 and the user's limb 9 can thereby be avoided.
    A user can be instructed to place the strap 1 at a desired position around a limb 9 and then thread the strap 7 through the loop 11 and pull the free end 15 of the strap 7 so that the strap 7 abuts against the limb 9 without any major tension. The user is then instructed to recognize an aspect of the visible pattern 17, such as the highest number of the visible pattern 17, e.g. the number three as shown in Fig. 2. Then the user is instructed to pull the free end 15 of the strap 7, so that the features of the visible pattern 17 change in a special way, for example that the highest visible number increases by two steps, t. ex. that the highest visible number, the number three shown in Fig. 1, is increased to the number five. In this way, a user can achieve tension that is within a predetermined voltage range, despite the fact that the users have different sized limbs and can place the belt 1 at different positions on the limb.
    In addition, a user can be instructed to place the strap 1 at a desired position around a limb 9 and then thread the strap 7 through the loop 11 and pull the free end 15 of the strap 7, so that the strap 7 abuts the strap 9 without any considerable tension. Then the user is instructed to recognize the highest number on the visible pattern 17, e.g. the number three as shown in Fig. 2. Then the user is instructed to pull the free end 15 of the strap 7 so that the highest visible number increases by one step. Then the user can be instructed to further pull the free end 15 of the strap 7, so that the highest visible figure increases by zero to one step further. In the example shown in Fig. 2, this corresponds to the user starting from the highest visible number, i.e. the number three and pulls the free end 15 so that the highest visible number increases to the number four. The user is then instructed to pull the free end zero to one step further, i.e. so that an area of the pattern that becomes visible is somewhere between the number four and the number five. In this way, a user can achieve a voltage that is within a desired voltage range, and at the same time be given the opportunity to apply a voltage suitable for personal preferences.
    Thus, the extensibility of the belt 7 and a relative distance between the properties of the pattern 17, for example the digits of the pattern 17, may be co-designed so that a tension 10 which is within a desired tension range is obtained by pulling on the free end 15 of the belt 7, so that the visible properties of the pattern 17 change in a particular way, for example that the highest visible figure increases by two steps. Since a user is able to apply a voltage that is within a desired voltage range with the band, when the instructions above are followed, an improved magnetotherapeutic band is provided. Such a preferred voltage range can e.g. be from 12 to 32 N, or from 17 to 27 N, or 20-24 N, or 21-23 N.
    According to certain embodiments, the strap 1 is arranged to be tightened around a user's wad in order to thereby alleviate problems which arise in restless legs syndrome. Studies have shown that applied voltage in the range from 17 to 27 N in combination with magnets provides a beneficial effect in relieving discomfort that arises in restless legs syndrome. Therefore, in such embodiments, the belt is arranged so that, when the instructions are followed, the voltage obtained is in the range 17-27 N.
    As shown in Fig. 1, the strap 1 comprises a first and a second fastening member 31, 32 arranged on a second surface 22 of the belt 7, which is opposite the first surface 21, the first fastening member 31 being arranged in an area of the free the end 15 of the strap 7. The first fastening means 31 is arranged to fit together with the second fastening means 32 when the strap 7 is folded on top of itself in the stepped state of the strap 1, as shown in Fig. 2, to thereby fasten the strap 7 and thus also fastening the strap 1. Thereby a user can easily fasten the strap 7 and thus also the strap 1 around the limb 9 without obtaining a loose part of the strap 7. The first and second fastening means 31, 32 may comprise a hook-loop fastening system, such as velcro systems, or buttons or push buttons.
    Therefore, it is to be understood that the foregoing is illustrative of various exemplary embodiments, and the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described, and that modifications of the described embodiments, combinations of features in the described embodiments, as well as other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope. patent claims.
