Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an anti-electrosmog insulator and its use for neutralizing
harmful non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which can be simply and removably
attached to a device emitting the above-mentioned radiation. In particular, the present
invention relates to an electromagnetic radiation isolator for a device, such as a
mobile phone device, that receives or transmits radio frequency radiation.
Background art
[0002] A human organism reacts to electromagnetic stimuli, e.g. electromagnetic radiation.
The effects of electromagnetic radiation can be divided into two groups - thermal
and non-thermal. Unlike the thermal effects that affect people in contact with a high-intensity
radio frequency field, the non-thermal effects can affect practically every person
who has a mobile phone near their ear, hands on a keyboard and electronic devices
most of the time, even in during rest or sleep.
[0003] One of the potential health risks for cell phone users is related to the high frequency
radiation used to transmit cell phone signals. Similarly, other devices that receive
or emit radio frequency radiation may also be associated with potential health risks
due to user exposure to radio waves. Such devices may include wireless radio telephones
and their base stations, analog and ISDN telephones, radios, computers, baby monitors,
WLAN devices, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens, printers, washing
machines.
[0004] Ionizing radiation generally has a destructive effect on living organisms, while
the effects of non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves, are not clear cut. However,
according to the international application
WO 2004/075583, there are already proven causal cases between non-ionizing radiation and the effect
on human health.
[0005] By electrosmog, the inventor refers to the result of the accumulation of various
electromagnetic influences in one area, i.e. the accumulation of interaction between
electric and magnetic fields and the exposed person, to a degree that may not exceed
hygienic limits, but exceeds the biological resistance of the individual. Fatigue,
weakness, exhaustion, stress are manifestations of exposure to electrosmog. Electrosmog
is created during the production, transport and consumption of technically produced
energy. This term is also confused with "electromagnetic compatibility of the human
environment".
[0006] Due to the potential health risks of radio waves for mobile phone users and other
devices listed above, it would therefore be advisable to reduce the amount of radio
frequency radiation to which the mobile phone user is exposed.
[0007] JP2005332919A describes a case for a digital device such as a mobile phone that isolates electrosmog
from a person. The case consists of several layers and for the user it is necessary
to carry it with them or store the device in a case if it wants to remove electrosmog.
It is also impractical to place the phone in this case from the point of view of immediate
use of the device or visual supervision of it, or a sufficiently strong sound warning
that the case will surely dampen.
[0008] The task of the present invention is therefore to provide a technical solution for
at least partial reduction of electrosmog in a person's surroundings, thereby at least
partially neutralizing its negative effects, while the device is simply removable
and the user does not have to periodically place the device in an insulator against
electrosmog as is the case, for example cases.
Summary of the invention
[0009] The above-mentioned disadvantages are overcome by the invention as defined in the
patent claims. The present invention, in the first embodiment, essentially represents
a self-adhesive insulator containing a hologram, the material of the insulator being
a synthetic resin, in which the electromagnetic wave shielding material contributing
to electrosmog is homogeneously distributed. The insulator is made of a material that
transmits visible light. The essence of the invention is the homogeneity of the electromagnetic
wave shielding material, which is integrated in the synthetic resin. The insulator
according to the invention can be glued to a high-frequency device having a surface
to which the insulator with the hologram is attached. The surface may be an external
surface such as a cover or the like.
[0010] The insulator can be of any three-dimensional shape.
[0011] While the radio frequency device is in operation, the hologram isolator of the invention
isolates at least a portion of the received and/or transmitted radio frequency radiation
that is considered electrosmog without significantly affecting the quality of the
radio frequency signal, thereby ensuring that the user is exposed to less radio frequency
radiation than if the hologram was not present ý. The size of the hologram can be
chosen according to the size of the device on which the insulating sticker is attached
and according to the amount of radiation to be isolated from the person.
[0012] The insulator with the hologram is attached to a device, e.g. a mobile phone or a
hands-free headset. The insulator with the hologram is attached to the device using
an adhesive layer, known from the state of the art. More preferably, an adhesive is
used with such strength that the hologram is securely attached to the device, but
such that the hologram can be removed from the device at any time during its use.
The insulator with the hologram can therefore be easily replaced as needed.
[0013] The hologram material is chosen to effectively absorb or reflect the electromagnetic
waves contributing to electrosmog, but still be optically transparent to the electromagnetic
radiation carrying the signal between devices. This material is preferably chosen
in accordance with the functional parameters of the given device. In a certain embodiment,
the material of the hologram is advantageously chosen so that it transmits a mobile
signal with a frequency of 2 GHz, but absorbs most of the other radiation in the area
of radio frequency waves, i.e. in the area from 2 GHz - 30 GHz. The theoretical basis
for choosing such a material, including examples, can be found, for example, in

it provides a technical effect of indicating the use of an insulator depending on
the degree of exposure to electrosmog and also contributes to the isolation of electromagnetic
waves contributing to electrosmog. The larger insulator is used for laptops, while
the smaller insulator is preferably used for mobile phones, etc.
[0015] The insulator according to the invention is not harmful to the environment in any
way, and therefore it can be disposed of in the usual way.
Brief description of drawing
[0016] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example with
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 represents a front view and a side view of an insulator with a hologram according
to the invention
Detailed description
[0017] Figure 1 shows an electrosmog insulator with a hologram according to the invention.
The insulator with the hologram can be removably attached, with the help of an adhesive
layer, to the mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention. The
mobile phone contains an internal antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a high-frequency
signal to/from the nearest base station. Base stations continuously transmit low-power
radio waves to cell phones, while cell phones transmit radio waves only during a call.
[0018] An insulator with a hologram can be placed on the back surface of the mobile phone.
Alternatively, an insulator with a suitably shaped hologram could be placed on the
side surface of the mobile phone or any other available location. Preferably, the
insulator with the hologram is placed horizontally in the middle of the phone.
[0019] In another embodiment, an insulator with a hologram, according to an alternative
embodiment of this invention, can be placed on a baby monitor or on any other device
emitting electromagnetic radiation, e.g. analogy and ISDN telephones, radios, computers,
WLAN devices, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens , printer, washing
machine.
[0020] In embodiments according to the invention, the electrosmog insulator with the hologram
attached to the electromagnetic radiation emitting device is attached with an adhesive
layer on one side of the insulator. This adhesive layer is applied during the preparation
of the insulator, while the end product can be further provided with a protective
layer placed on the adhesive layer so that during transfer or packaging there is no
degradation of this adhesive layer and at the same time that the adhesive layer maintains
its adhesive properties until the first use. In one embodiment, this protective layer
placed on the adhesive layer can be waxed paper. The adhesive layer should be of a
material, such as an adhesive, that is strong enough to allow firm, yet removable,
attachment of the hologram insulator to the mobile phone, but not so strong that the
hologram cannot be completely removed from the device.
[0021] The adhesive layer easily sticks the insulator to e.g. metal, wood, glass, plastic,
etc.
[0022] In the embodiments of Figure 1, the insulator with the hologram has an elliptical
cross-section. However, in alternative embodiments, the hologram insulator may be
shaped differently. In other embodiments, the hologram may be circular or square.
The use of other hologram shapes is also considered.
[0023] The size of the hologram insulator can be such that it covers approximately half
the area of the back surface of a device, e.g. a mobile phone. In a preferred embodiment,
the insulator with a hologram with an ellipse cross-section has a major axis dimension
of 45 mm and a minor axis of 22 mm, or 20 mm and 10 mm, and a height of 2 mm. The
height is preferably chosen in such a way that it effectively isolates the electrosmog
device from the person.
[0024] In particular, the size of the hologram to be used may vary according to the area
of space available on the mobile phone.
[0025] The hologram can be a single colour photopolymer hologram (e.g. green or amber).
The hologram is preferably light in colour to provide a clear contrast against the
dark coloured edge burn. Alternatively, two colour photopolymer holograms (e.g. red-green
or blue-green) can be used. In another alternative embodiment, full colour photopolymer
holograms may be used.
[0026] Preferably, the insulator with the hologram contains a visual indicator when the
hologram should be replaced. The visual indicator can be in the form of alternate
guides or marks on the hologram.
[0027] The hologram material is chosen to effectively absorb or reflect the electromagnetic
waves contributing to electrosmog, but still be optically transparent to the electromagnetic
radiation carrying the signal between devices. This material is preferably chosen
in accordance with the functional parameters of the given device. In a certain embodiment,
the material of the hologram is advantageously chosen so that it transmits a mobile
signal with a frequency of 2 GHz, but absorbs most of the other radiation in the area
of radio frequency waves, i.e. in the area from 2 GHz - 30 GHz. The theoretical basis
for choosing such a material, including examples, can be found, for example, in

Homogeneous distribution
[0028]
▪ benzene at a concentration of less than 0.4 mg/kg;
▪ bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in a concentration of less than 0.025 wt. %;
▪ Lead in a concentration of less than 10 mg/kg;
▪ Mercury in a concentration of 548 mg/kg;
▪ Chromium in a concentration of less than 10 mg/kg; and
• Cadmium in a concentration of less than 5 mg/kg;
it provides a technical effect of indicating the use of an insulator depending on
the degree of exposure to electrosmog and also contributes to the isolation of electromagnetic
waves contributing to electrosmog. A higher level of exposure to electrosmog causes
a resin with a homogeneous distribution of elements as mentioned above to change its
mechanical properties - e.g. harden, and also to change its optical properties in
the visible light region, i.e. the visible light reflection is lower and the user
can the resin appears cloudy. The loss of reflectivity in the visible light region
can reach from 2 to 16 dB in the electrosmog region in the range of electromagnetic
radiation from 2 GHz - 18 GHz. The larger insulator is used for laptops, while the
smaller insulator is preferably used for mobile phones, etc.
[0029] The insulator according to the invention is not harmful to the environment in any
way, and therefore it can be disposed of in the usual way.
