Abstract

Consisting of an iron rod (I) shaped in such a way its ends, small-balls (2) meet each other like a pair of pliers.

Description

The invention refers to some pincers specially designed to properly press on some particular points both in hands and feet, in such a way that you can put them on in order to press on these points therapeutically.
Those already mentioned points lie exactly between the first and the second methacarpian (closer to the second one) as regards to the hand. Concerning to the foot, you can find them between the first and second methatarsian.
Its treatment by means of stimulation is a key in the traditional chinese medicine, so as to obtain a good energetic balance, and consenuently essential to keep a good health.
So, the invention basically consists of an iron rod , whose furthest points end with some protuberances or small spheres . Such rod is shaped ,in such a way that both little spheres are brought side to side , collinding with each other like pliers ,by means of them you can seize the surface or spot for treatment, putting pressure on it, without bringing about any abruptness or scratches on the skin.
Logically , the pressure impulse is caused by the spring effect provided by the iron rod itself.
The advantages ,supplied by this invention, in comparison to other methods or treatments are ,firstly, the convenience of receiving a passive self-treatment, since it replaces what it would be a digital pressure massage, and secondly, the substitution of a treatment by needles which can only be carried out by a professional. Thus through this invention, any person can treat himself the points by means of pressure, without any risk in an easy and pleasant way.
In addiction to that, you can adjust the pressure intensity by compelling the rod.
According to the pattern, the figure I depicts a perspective of some pincers made specially for the point on the hand, properly installed and keeping the appropriate area pressed with the help of the little spheres ,in an accurate or most suitable way.
The figure 2 shows some pincers for your foot, which is installed on it and keeps some pressure on the appropriate point.
Next , it is described a way of carrying out the invention , special for the point on the hand:
If you see figure I, you can notice the iron rod I is eclipse-shaped, so that it can offer quite a good resistance. both ends are slightly diverted to the inner part of the item ; so as to get the expected pressure effect, that is , to press the closest area to the second methacarpian; and at the same time to offer a better grasp . Such furthest points end with a little sphere shape 2 , with the aim of achieving a softer and more extensive pressure.
Another way of execution , which is even more simple, (depicted in figure 2 ) consists basically of an iron rod I , circumference shaped , whose furthest points collide each other, (without any desviation in this case) little spheres shared as well 2 . Such pincers are more suitable to press the noint of the foot, owing to its morphology, and because it offers a nor extensive presure , since a solid pressure on this area may bring about some slight pains.
