[0005]

However, in the portable acupuncture tube having the structure described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 7-27574, the acupuncture needle is fixed and held in the acupuncture tube by the acupuncture tube cap. It was necessary to remove the acupuncture tube cap from the acupuncture tube when using it, which was inefficient and could cause the small acupuncture tube cap to be separated from the acupuncture tube.

[0006] Further, since a fine needle tip is sandwiched and fixed between the small acupuncture tube stopper and the inner peripheral wall of the acupuncture tube, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of acupuncture tubes so as to be suitable for needles of various lengths. In addition, there was a risk that the needle tip might be bent or broken by mistake during fixing.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional portable acupuncture tube, and there is no possibility that the needle tip is bent or broken by mistake when fixing the acupuncture tube to the acupuncture tube. It is an object of the present invention to provide an easy, safe and hygienic portable acupuncture tube with an acupuncture holder.

[0008]

To achieve the above object, a portable acupuncture tube with an acupuncture holder of the present invention has an acupuncture tube for accommodating acupuncture therein and two through holes through which the acupuncture tube can be inserted. And an elastically deformable needle holder. And, penetrating the rear end of the acupuncture tube into one through hole of the acupuncture holder,
The rear end of the needle protruding from the rear end of the acupuncture tube is inserted through the other through hole, and the needle is held in the acupuncture tube by the elastic restoring force of the acupuncture holder.

[0009]

[Effect] When carrying an acupuncture needle, put it inside the acupuncture tube,
With the rear end of the needle slightly protruding from the rear end of the acupuncture tube,
Insert one through-hole of the needle holder into the back of the needle tube. Then, the needle holder is elastically deformed with a finger and the rear end of the needle protruding from the acupuncture tube is inserted into the other through-hole, and the needle holder is released.The needle holder has a flat shape due to its elastic restoring force. In order to return to the position, the rear end of the needle inserted into the other through hole is pressed against one side of the inner wall surface of the acupuncture tube, and is fixed and held by the frictional force.

When using acupuncture, the acupuncture holder is elastically deformed again with a finger, and the rear end of the acupuncture is released from the acupuncture holder.
When the back end of the acupuncture tube is slid along the acupuncture tube until the rear end of the acupuncture tube passes through the two through holes of the acupuncture tube and the finger is released from the acupuncture device, the acupuncture device is resiliently restored. Since it is fixed to the rear end of the acupuncture tube, it is possible to perform acupuncture treatment on the patient as it is.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable acupuncture tube with an acupuncture holder in a state in which an acupuncture needle is accommodated. An acupuncture holder 4 for fixing and holding the rear end of the needle 3 protruding from the rear end of the tube 3 to the acupuncture tube 3.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the portable acupuncture tube 1 with the acupuncture holder, wherein the acupuncture needle 2 housed inside the sheath-shaped acupuncture tube 3 is an acupuncture body at the distal end which pierces the skin. 2A is formed to be thin and flexible, and the needle handle 2B on the rear end side is formed of metal or plastic and has a larger diameter than the needle main body 2A. The length of the acupuncture tube 3 is such that the acupuncture tip of the acupuncture body 2A fits inside the acupuncture tube 3 with the rear end of the acupuncture handle 2B protruding from the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3 by about 3 to 5 mm. Set to about.

As shown in FIG. 1, the acupuncture holder 4 is formed in an elongated shape by an elastically deformable synthetic resin or metal thin plate, and has a flat shape in a natural state. The needle holder 4 is formed with two through holes 4A and 4B adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction thereof. In the present embodiment, these through holes are elongated holes in the longitudinal direction of the needle holder 4. Is formed. By forming the needle holder 4 into an elongated thin plate shape, the needle holder 4 can be easily and inexpensively manufactured by punching from a synthetic resin or metal thin plate, and can be largely elastically deformed against bending.

When accommodating the acupuncture tube 2 in the acupuncture tube 3 and holding it fixedly, the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3 is first inserted into one through hole 4A of the acupuncture holder 4 as shown in FIG. Insert. At this time, acupuncture 2
The rear end is projected about 3 to 5 mm.

Next, as shown in FIG.
Is elastically deformed with a finger to a position where the other through-hole 4B exceeds the rear end of the acupuncture needle 2, and the needle of the acupuncture holder is held so that the edge of the other through-hole 4B faces the outer peripheral surface of the rear end of the needle 2. Slide 4 along the acupuncture tube 3 toward its distal end. When the finger is released to release the needle holder 4, the needle holder 4 is inserted into the other through hole 4B to return to a flat shape by its elastic restoring force as shown in FIG. The rear end of the acupuncture needle 2 is pressed against one side of the inner wall surface of the acupuncture tube 3 by the edge of the through hole 4B, and is fixed and held by the frictional force.

When the needle 2 is used, the needle holder 4 is elastically deformed again with a finger as shown in FIG. 4, and the rear end of the needle 2 is moved to the edge of the through hole 4B of the needle holder 4. The acupuncture tube 4 is slid along the acupuncture tube 3 until the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3 penetrates both of the two through holes 4A and 4B of the acupuncture tube 4, and then the acupuncture device When the finger is released from the needle 4, the acupuncture holder 4 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3 by a frictional force due to its elastic restoring force. Acupuncture for a patient can be performed as it is with the acupuncture holder 4 attached to the acupuncture tube 3.

Furthermore, when the needle 2 is fixed and held in the acupuncture tube 3 again after use, the needle holder 4 is slid backward with the rear end of the acupuncture tube 2 protruding from the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3. Let's go through the hole 4
B may be removed from the rear end of the acupuncture tube 3 and locked to the rear end of the needle 2 to return to the position shown in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the elongated needle holder has two elongated holes formed in the longitudinal direction, but these holes are formed by bending and deforming the needle holder. It is sufficient that the rear end portion of the acupuncture tube has a size and a shape that penetrates the two through-holes and holds the needle-shaped holder, and the outer contour of the needle holder does not impair its function. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to fix and hold the acupuncture needle 2 to the acupuncture tube 3, the spring wire is bent and formed into two through holes 4'A and 4 '. An acupuncture holder 4 ′ in which only the outline of the periphery of B is formed may be used.
