Definitions

  • the present invention relates to medical implements and more particularly, to a light guide type pain reliever that provides vibration and illumination functions.
  • a pain reliever comprising a retractor and a handle.
  • the handle has mounted therein a vibrator.
  • the retractor can be used to drag the oral edge and to transmit vibrating waves to the oral edge, transferring the patient's attention, and thus, the patient's pain can be reduced when taking an injection of local anesthetics or drugs.
  • the aforesaid prior art pain reliever is convenient for use, however, the retractor can simply drag the oral edge, i.e., the applicable to any other area of the patient that does not allow traction. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a pain reliever that eliminates the aforesaid problem.
  • the present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a light guide type pain reliever, which can be pressed on the patient's affected area to guide a medication injection accurately, and controlled to transfer vibrating waves to the patient's affected area to reduce patient's pain during the medication injection.
  • a light guide type pain reliever comprises a hollow handle, which comprises a barrel accommodating therein a battery, a rear end cap capped on one end of the barrel, a pushbutton mounted in the rear end cap, a front end cap thread-connected to an opposite end of the barrel and a switching connector mounted in the rear end cap and electrically connected to the batter and drivable by the pushbutton to switch on/off the battery, a holder shell connected to the front end cap and electrically coupled to the battery and having electrically connected thereto a vibrator and a light-emitting device, an adapter connected to the holder shell and adapted to accommodate the vibrator and the light-emitting device and provided with a plug hole in a front side thereof, and a light guide plate having one end thereof plugged into the plug hole of the adapter and kept in line with the light-emitting device for receiving light rays emitted by the light-emitting device and an opposite end thereof suspending outside the adapter and provided with
  • the light guide type pain reliever comprises a barrel 1 , a battery 100 accommodated in the barrel 1 , an rear end cap 2 capped on a rear end of the barrel 1 , a pushbutton 21 mounted in a rear end of the rear end cap 2, a switching connector 3, which is made in the form of a circuit board and mounted in the rear end cap 2 and, which comprises a conducting terminal 32 made in the form of a metal spring and located at a front side thereof and stopped against the negative terminal of the battery 100 and a switching rod 31 located at a rear side thereof and connected to the pushbutton 21 and movable by the pushbutton 21 to switch on/off the battery 100, a front end cap 4 capped on a front end of the barrel 1 and constituting with the barrel 1 and the rear end cap 2 a handle 200 for gripping by the user and defining therein a center through hole 41, a hollow holder shell 5
  • the light guide type pain reliever further comprises an adapter 6, and a light guide plate 7 coupled to the holder shell 5 by the adapter 6.
  • the adapter 6 comprises a locating slot 61 and a vibrator hole 62 located in the rear side thereof, and a plug hole 63 located in the front side thereof.
  • the locating slot 61 is adapted to the light-emitting device 57 and the substrate 56, enabling the light-emitting device 57 to be kept inside the adapter 6.
  • the vibrator hole 62 is adapted to accommodate the vibrator 55, enabling the adapter 6 to be vibrated by the vibrator 55.
  • the plug hole 63 is kept in line with the locating slot 61, and adapted for the mounting of the light guide plate 7.
  • the light guide plate 7 is a curved plate member comprising a mounting portion 71 located at one end thereof and plugged into the plug hole 63 of the adapter 6 and kept in line with the light-emitting device 57, and a depressor portion 72 located at one end thereof.
  • the depressor portion 72 is shaped like a closed loop, defining therein an insertion slot 721 for the insertion of a syringe to inject a medicine into a predetermined part of the patient's body.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the light guide type pain reliever well assembled.
  • the mounting portion 71 of the light guide plate 7 is kept in line with the light-emitting device 57.
  • the battery 100 is electrically conducted to the light-emitting device 57 and the vibrator 55, causing the light-emitting device 57 to give off light and the vibrator 55 to vibrate.
  • the light guide plate 7 guides the emitted light to the depressor portion 72 for divergent illumination, enabling light rays to go in all directions around the desired area.
  • the depressor portion 72 when a physician uses the depressor portion 72 to perform an oral cavity treatment, the depressor portion 72 simultaneously illuminates the oral cavity, enabling the physician to see clearly all corners in the oral cavity.
  • the vibrator 55 When starting the vibrator 55, the vibrator 55 will vibrate the adapter 6 and the light guide plate 7. At this time, the light guide plate 7 can be pressed on the affected area in the oral cavity of the patient to transmit vibrating waves to the affected area, and the physician can then insert the needle of the syringe through the insertion slot 721 in the depressor portion 72 into the affected area in the oral cavity of the patient to inject a medicine.
  • the patient Subject to the effects of vibration on the affected area, the patient will feel less pain in the affected area.
  • the light guide plate 7 comprises a frosted structure of beads or tiny rhombic facets on opposing top and bottom surfaces for reflecting incident light rays in different directions, enhancing the uniformity of illumination.
  • the physician can selectively press the top surface or bottom surface of the light guide plate 7 on the patient's affected area, giving sufficient illumination.
