Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to an acupuncture device that allows multiple needles to be inserted into an affected area at the same time.

[Conventional technology]

It has long been common practice to insert a needle into the affected area to stimulate it and promote blood flow.

By the way, it takes a lot of effort to pierce the needles one by one, and in order to improve the workability, acupuncture instruments that can pierce a plurality of needles at once have been proposed.

When performing treatment using the above-mentioned acupuncture device, the needle penetration time is varied depending on the symptoms.

Additionally, in order to further promote blood circulation, moxibustion is applied to the area after the needle has been inserted.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

By the way, in the acupuncture device described above, since the needles are pushed into the affected area or acupuncture points by pushing down the holder, it is necessary to hold the holder in a pressurized state to keep the needles in the stuck state.

Generally, during acupuncture, it is necessary to pierce multiple acupuncture points or affected areas with a large number of needles, so if it is necessary to hold the holder of the acupuncture device as described above, it is possible to perform acupuncture on multiple acupuncture points or affected areas at the same time. Therefore, acupuncture is very time-consuming, and if the needles need to be stuck for a long time, moxibustion cannot be applied to the affected area that has already been treated with acupuncture, and acupuncture also takes a long time. There is.

Therefore, the technical objective is to solve the problems of this invention and to make it possible to maintain the needle stuck in the affected area so that acupuncture can be performed efficiently.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention includes a holder with a grip at the rear end of the shaft and a plurality of an acupuncture needle, a protective tube slidably fitted to the outside of the shaft, a mechanism for preventing the protective tube from coming off at a position where the tip of the protective tube covers the tip of the needle, and a mechanism fitted to the outside of the holder. The acupuncture device includes a spring that presses the protective tube in a direction in which the protective tube covers the tip of the needle, and a tightening band that can be tightened around a part of the body is connected to the grip of the holder. This configuration was adopted.

[Effect]

In the acupuncture device constructed as described above, the tip of the protective tube is applied to the affected area or acupuncture point, and the grip of the holder is pushed down to insert the needle.

If it is necessary to keep the needle stuck in the needle for a long time, a tightening band is wrapped around a part of the body to hold the grip in a depressed state.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 1 has a grip portion 3 provided at the rear end of a shaft 2. As shown in FIG.

A hollow chamber 4 is formed at the tip of the shaft 2, and a plurality of acupuncture holes 6 are provided in the bottom wall 5 of the hollow chamber 4.

The rear end portions of the needles 7 inserted into the respective acupuncture holes 6 are supported by the upper wall of the hollow chamber 4, and the tip portions are inserted through the acupuncture holes 6 and positioned outside the tip surface of the shaft 2.

The shaft 2 is stepped, and a male thread 7' is formed on the outer periphery of the large diameter shaft portion 2a at the rear end. Also,
A protective tube 8 is slidably fitted on the outside of the small diameter shaft portion 2b at the tip, and an outer tube 9 is fitted on the outside of the protective tube 8.
are fitted.

A female thread 10 is formed on the inner periphery of the rear end of the outer cylinder 9, and the outer cylinder 9 is fixed to the holder 12 by screw engagement between the female thread 10 and the male thread 7'.

A step 11 is provided at the tip of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 9.
On the other hand, a shoulder 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the rear end of the protection tube 8, and the contact between the shoulder 12 and the step 11 prevents the protection tube 8 from slipping out from the tip of the shaft 2. Ru. In this state, the tip of the needle 7 is covered with the tip of the protective tube 8.

Further, the amount of retraction of the protection tube 8 is limited by the contact with the distal end surface of the large diameter shaft portion 2a, and when the rear end of the protection tube 8 is in contact with the large diameter shaft portion 2a, the needle 7 The tip portion is exposed to the outside from the tip of the protection tube 8.

The protection tube 8 is always pressed down by a spring 13 fitted on the outside of the small diameter shaft portion 2b, and is held in a state in which the shoulder portion 12 is in contact with the step 11.

In the case of the embodiment, the sliding amount of the protective tube 8 is limited by the tip of the large diameter shaft portion 2b and the step 11 of the outer tube 9, but this is the mechanism for limiting the sliding amount of the protective tube 8. For example, a pin may be provided protruding from the outer periphery of the small diameter shaft portion, and an axial guide hole into which the pin is inserted may be formed in the protection tube. In this case, the outer cylinder 9 can be omitted.

A pair of connecting rings 14 are attached to opposing positions on the outer periphery of the grip portion 3 in the holder 1, and each connecting ring 1
One end of a pair of tightening belts 15, 15 is connected to 4, and a hook-and-loop fastener 16 is attached to each tightening belt 15, 15, which can be engaged with each other. For this reason,
The tightening belts 15, 15 can be held in a tightened state by wrapping the tightening belts 15, 15 around a part of the body and hooking the hook-and-loop fasteners 16 together.

Incidentally, instead of the surface fastener 16, a buckle may be attached to the other end of one of the tightening belts 15, so that the tightening belts 15, 15 can be tightened together by the buckle.

The acupuncture device shown in the embodiment has the above structure, and during acupuncture, the tip of the protective tube 8 is brought into contact with the affected area or acupuncture point, and then the grip portion 3 of the holder 1 is pressurized to push the holder 1 down.

By pressing down the holder 1, the holder 1 moves relative to the protection tube 8, and the protection tube 8
The holder 1 is stopped by the contact of the front end surface of the large diameter shaft portion 2a with the rear end surface. At this time, the tip of the needle 7 supported by the holder 1 is exposed from the tip of the protective tube 8, so that the tip of the needle 7 can be pierced into the skin as shown in FIG.

If it is necessary to pierce the skin with the needle 7 for a relatively long time, as shown in FIG. The grip part 3 is held in a depressed state by the tightening band 15, and the holder 1 is held in an upright state on the skin.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in this invention, the needle can be held in a state that is stuck into the skin by wrapping the tightening band, so by preparing multiple acupuncture tools, the affected area can be treated with acupuncture one after another. This makes it possible to perform acupuncture work and acupuncture work combined with moxibustion extremely efficiently.
