Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention has a plate-like flexible pressing piece that presses and holds the needles and acupuncture tubes by hanging them on the inner surface of the upper lid of the acupuncture case body. without damaging the acupuncture tube,
The present invention relates to an acupuncture case that can be easily stored and held within the case.

(b) Prior art and its problems Many acupuncture cases suitable for storing needles and acupuncture tubes used in acupuncture have been developed.

However, in all conventional acupuncture cases, in order to prevent bending and damage of the needle tips, the needle tips are inserted and held in a pillow made of gauze, absorbent cotton, etc. provided inside the case, like a normal needle thread. Not only does it have the drawback of requiring troublesome storage work, such as wrapping the needle in gauze or absorbent cotton, etc., but it also has the disadvantage of not being pierced with gauze, absorbent cotton, etc., or wrapped when carrying it around. The acupuncture point had a disadvantage in that it could not avoid bending, damage, etc. due to contact with the peripheral wall inside the case. Furthermore, if an acupuncture tube with a significantly larger diameter than the needle is housed in the case together with the needle,
Since the needles are damaged by the movement of the needle tubes, they have to be stored separately from the needles in a case, which is a hassle.

(c) Problems to be solved by the present invention The problems to be solved by the present invention, that is, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art, and to prevent damage to needles and acupuncture tubes. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an acupuncture case that can be easily stored, held, and carried within the same acupuncture case, and has an internal structure that is easy to handle, such as cleaning and disinfection.

(d) Means for solving the problems The present invention has the following structure in order to achieve the object (c) above. That is, the present invention is made up of an elastic plate-shaped flexible pressing piece that hangs down and protrudes from the inner surface of the upper lid of the acupuncture case body, and presses and holds the needles and acupuncture tubes housed in the acupuncture case body together. It is characterized by:

The material of the elastic plate-shaped flexible pressing piece may be either synthetic rubber such as silicone rubber or synthetic resin foam, but it should not be deformed or altered during sterilization of the acupuncture case itself. Preferably. In addition, the pressing pieces are provided to hang down and protrude from the inner surface of the upper lid of the acupuncture case body, but when a plurality of pressing pieces are provided, the action and effect of commonly pressing and holding the needles and the acupuncture tubes is further improved. be able to.

Next, although the acupuncture case body and the upper lid may be detachably attached separately, it is more convenient for handling if they are integrally provided via a hinge section so as to be openable and closable. In addition, the material for both is preferably stainless steel, which can be easily sterilized by heat sterilization, but other materials may be used as long as they can achieve the effects of the present invention. No problem.

(e) Effects of the present invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it exhibits the following effects. That is, the acupuncture needles and acupuncture tubes are coexisted and held by a flexible plate-like pressing piece having elasticity that hangs down from the inner surface of the upper lid of the acupuncture case body and the inner bottom of the acupuncture case body. When the acupuncture needles and acupuncture tubes are housed in the case body and the top cover is closed, the plate-shaped flexible pressing piece that is protruding downward from the inner surface of the top cover sequentially contacts the acupuncture tubes and acupuncture needles so as to cross the needles and the acupuncture tubes. Due to the flexibility of the pressing piece, even if the lower edge of the pressing piece is an acupuncture needle and acupuncture tube with different diameters, the pressing piece can be reliably held between the pressing piece and the inner bottom of the acupuncture case body. In addition to exhibiting a fixing and holding effect that allows the needle to be held in place, it also has an effect of preventing the needles and acupuncture tubes from moving within the acupuncture case and a vibration absorbing effect when being carried around.

(f) Example Figures 1 and 2 show an example of the acupuncture case of the present invention, and Figure 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the case in which the needles and acupuncture tubes are stored. Yes, second
The figure is a perspective view with the top cover open.

First, the acupuncture case of this embodiment as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 has a width of 30 mm, a depth of 100 mm, and a depth of 10 mm.
A stainless steel acupuncture case body 1 is provided with a resilient silicone plate-shaped flexible pressing piece 2 hanging down from the inner bottom of the acupuncture case body 1 with a width of 30 mm and a depth of 30 mm.
A 100 mm stainless steel upper cover 3 is provided via a hinge part 4 so as to be openable and closable. The length of the plate-shaped flexible pressing piece 2 in the non-pressed state is such that it can reliably press and hold even needles with a significantly smaller diameter than an acupuncture tube when fully demonstrating its elasticity. Therefore, the depth of the acupuncture case body 1 is 10 mm.
It is about 1 to 2 mm longer. In addition, the upper lid 3
is provided with a notched semicircular grip portion 5 to facilitate opening and closing operations, and a hook-shaped locking portion 6 for detachable engagement with the acupuncture case body 1.

Thus, the acupuncture case of this example obtained can coexist in the acupuncture case and be stored, held, and carried without damaging the acupuncture needle A and the acupuncture tube B.
Moreover, the case has a simple internal structure, so
The inside of the acupuncture case was easy to clean and disinfect, and it was easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

(g) Effects of the present invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration and operation, it has the following effects. In other words, the needles and acupuncture tubes are coexisted and held by a resilient plate-shaped flexible pressing piece that hangs down from the upper lid of the acupuncture case body and the inner bottom of the acupuncture case body, so that the acupuncture case The acupuncture case has the ability to hold the needles and acupuncture tubes in place, prevent them from moving, and absorb vibrations. The needle is inserted into the pillow part made of gauze, absorbent cotton, etc. and held.
Compared to the case in which the needles and acupuncture tubes were stored, the needles and acupuncture tubes are not damaged, and can be easily stored, stored, and carried, and are easy to clean, disinfect, etc. It has a simple structure, and when the lid is opened, the pressure holding force of the flexible pressing piece is removed together with the top lid, making it possible to take out the needles and acupuncture tubes extremely easily. The effect is significant.
