A spine support device includes a support plate having front and rear faces, a central opening, and a pair of stabilizing stirrups formed on the rear face of the support plate in spaced parallel relationship to augment the support provided by the support plate when positioned at its front face in contact with a portion of a person's back surrounding a region of spinal vertebra visible through the central opening in the support plate. The support plate has opposing inner side edge portions at opposing sides of the central opening and opposite peripheral side edge portions spaced outwardly therefrom with the stabilizing stirrups therebetween. The opposing inner side edge portions and the opposite peripheral side edge portions of the support plate have respective alternating peak and valley shapes for accommodating interconnecting facets of the spinal vertebra region visible through the central opening in the support plate.

Provided is an apparatus for removing residual water in a hot water mat using a circulating pump, in which residual water that remains in a boiler and a mat of the hot water mat and a mat can be conveniently and rapidly removed, the configuration of the apparatus for removing residual water in the hot water mat can be simplified and the leakage at a connector of the boiler and the mat is prevented from occurring so that the risk of suffering a low-temperature burn can be eliminated during the removal of residual water. The apparatus for removing residual water in a hot water mat, the hot water mat including a boiler (100) for supplying hot water by heating water and a mat (200) in which heating is performed by using hot water heated by the boiler (100) as a heat source, includes: a circulating pump (120) provided in the boiler (100) and configured to pump water to be circulated between the boiler (100) and the mat (200); a boiler connector (140) including a boiler-side discharge connector (141) and boiler-side water return connectors (142, 143), which are connected to the boiler (100); a mat connector (220) including a mat-side discharge connector (221) and mat-side water return connectors (222, 223), which are connected to the mat (200); and a residual water removing connector (300) coupled between the boiler connector (140) and the mat connector (220) and including a residual water outlet (340) through which water flowing through the boiler-side discharge connector (141) is discharged.

The present invention relates to a combined warmer and seat fumigator using bioceramics and, more specifically, to a combined warmer and seat fumigator using bioceramics, the combined warmer and seat fumigator being capable of carrying out both thermotherapy and fumigation therapy, having excellent heat insulation, ultralight weight, nonflammability, low gas toxicity, thermal conductivity and deodorizability, and having immune function improvement and inflammation alleviation efficacy through far infrared ray emissivity, radiant energy, anion generation and antibacterial ability.

A therapeutic mat is described. The mat provides therapeutic relief in the form of vibratory motion and/or heat. The mat or pad is particularly useful as a floor mat in a vehicle. The mat includes provisions to enable powering the mat from a 12-volt direct current source, such as used in an automobile or other vehicle. A massage module can be removed from the mat to facilitate cleaning of the mat. The mat may also include one or more upwardly extending provisions for massaging the arch region of a user's feet. Also described are illuminated mats. The lights of a mat can operate based upon the operation of another mat, pulsations of the massage module, or based upon acoustic levels in the vehicle.

Disclosed is a system which employs a cooling or heating pad which is preferably rechargeable with hot or cold temperatures at an intended area of the body. The pad includes a highly temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material which can be cooled or heated using a portable source of heat or cold material delivered to the pad by a removable delivery conduit. Valves can be included to regulate flow of the cooling or heating material from the source to the pad. The system can also include a dual-chambered canister for containing two different media for heating, cooling or for alternating heating and cooling the pad.
