Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to an improvement of a moxibustion tool that has a gusset at the end of its cylindrical body.

(Prior art) Conventionally, as a moxibustion device of this kind, one end of a small diameter cylinder is stuffed with grass, and the other end with adhesive is attached to the skin surface to perform moxibustion therapy.
It is listed in Public Relations No. 22558.

Furthermore, a method in which a thin film of inviscid metal is provided on the top surface of a mount having small circular holes and an adhesive tape is provided on the bottom surface of the mount is described in Publication No. 40993/1983.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) However, in the former method, a small diameter cylinder is erected using the adhesive force of the adhesive attached to the end of the cylinder, and the grass is supported on the top of this erected cylinder. Because of this, there was a problem of lack of stability during use. Moreover, since the moxa is only packed in the upper part of the cylinder, the moxa that burns at high temperatures during moxibustion may fall inside the cylinder and come into contact with the skin, causing the temperature at the point of moxibustion to rise rapidly. Therefore, there was a risk that the moxibustion treatment would be difficult for the patient to tolerate.

On the other hand, with the latter moxibustion device, the moxa is burned on a thin film of non-combustible metal, which eliminates the risk of the burning moxa falling onto the skin surface, but heat is transmitted to the affected area through the small circular holes in the mount. Therefore, the point of moxibustion treatment is limited to the size of the small circular foramen. Therefore, if the so-called acupuncture points are not properly selected during moxibustion treatment, sufficient effects cannot be expected. It was extremely difficult to select a pot within the area. Moreover, if the small circular hole is enlarged to facilitate selection of the acupoint, there is a risk that burning moxa may fall from the small circular hole, similar to the former moxibustion tool.

In addition, with these conventional moxibustion tools, the moxa protruding from the top of the cylinder can be easily burned, but the supply of oxygen is insufficient for the combustion of the moxa packed inside the cylinder, and a large amount of oxygen is generated inside the cylinder. A common drawback was that it left burnt residue. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a moxibustion device in which a cylindrical body is provided with a ventilation hole consisting of a notch or a punched hole at an appropriate position has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 18515/1983. However, although such ventilation holes improve the combustion efficiency of moxa, they have the disadvantage of significantly accelerating the combustion time of moxa. In other words, if the moxa disappears in a short period of time, not only will it be impossible to obtain a certain amount of moxibustion time necessary for treatment, but the combustion temperature of the moxa will suddenly rise, potentially leaving burn marks at the point of moxibustion. .

Therefore, this device was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems.It is possible to easily control the temperature of the moxibustion point, and it also reliably prevents burns during moxibustion, and has excellent therapeutic effects. The purpose is to provide moxibustion tools.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention uses a moxibustion device with a cylindrical body, which has a grass on its upper end and an adhesive on its lower end. Form. A plurality of collapsible tubular vents extending from the outer surface of the cylinder to the lower end of the moxa are formed to protrude radially around the moxa. Another solution to the problem is to house a heat conductor made of sodium chloride inside the cylinder.

(Function) That is, according to this invention, oxygen is introduced into the collapsible vent extending from the outer surface of the cylinder to the lower end of the moxa, and this oxygen promotes the combustion of the moxa. Then, by crushing an appropriate number of vents,
By adjusting the amount of oxygen introduced, the combustion temperature and combustion time can be arbitrarily changed.

In addition, the sodium chloride heat conductor housed inside the cylindrical body appropriately transmits the amount of heat from moxa combustion to the affected area, and the sodium chloride crystals retain heat for a while even after moxa combustion. It is.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a mount on which the moxa 2 is placed, and a heat-conducting hole 1A is formed in the center of the mount 1 to transmit heat when the moxa 2 is burned downward. This mount 1 is provided on the upper end of the cylindrical body 4, and a cover 3 is attached to the upper surface of the mount 1.

The cover 3 is formed with a retaining wall 3B that surrounds and supports the moxa 2, and a collapsible vent 3A that introduces air into the retaining wall 3B. The vent hole 3A in the illustrated example has a generally tubular shape protruding along the surface of the cover 3, and in order to crush it, the vent hole 3A
This is done by pressing the upper side of A with your fingers.
In forming the cover 3, by pressing a paperboard P stacked with aluminum foil or the like using a predetermined die Q, the vent hole 3A and the retaining wall 3B can be formed at the same time (see FIG. 3).

The cylinder body 4 has a heat transfer body 7 made of sodium chloride inside.
Moreover, an adhesive 5 is attached to the lower end surface of the body so that it can be freely attached to the human body. The sodium chloride used as the heat transfer body 7 housed inside the cylindrical body 4 is formed in a solid form, and this heat transfer body 7
is from the bottom surface of the mount 1 provided on the upper end of the cylinder 4.
The heat from the burnt moxa 2 is conducted through the solid sodium chloride heat transfer body 7 through the heating hole 1A. It is designed to reach the affected area. At this time, since the amount of heat transferred to the heat transfer body 7 can be changed by changing the diameter of the heat passing hole 1A, the amount of heat applied to the affected area can be adjusted by changing the diameter of the heat passing hole 1A. It becomes possible. At this time, the cylindrical body 4 is made of an elastic material such as a sponge, and by forming a small gap between the heat transfer body 7 and the skin, the temperature applied to the affected area can be reduced during the bonding of this moxibustion device. It becomes possible to use it properly. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the skin and the heat transfer body 7 are bonded with a gap between them, relatively low-temperature heat is transmitted to the affected area, and as shown in FIG.
By strongly pressing the cylinder 4 to contract the cylinder 4 and bringing the heat transfer body 7 inside the cylinder 4 into direct contact with the skin, relatively high temperature heat can be transmitted to the affected area. .

Incidentally, reference numeral 4A in the figure is a support plate for preventing the heat transfer body 7 from falling, and this support plate 4A has an opening 4B having a slightly smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the cylinder 4 at its center. At this time, by changing the diameter of the opening 4B, the amount of heat applied to the affected area can be adjusted.
Further, reference numeral 6 in the figure indicates a peelable seal.

[Structure of the invention] This invention achieves its original purpose by being constructed as described above.

That is, the grass 2 is arranged at the upper end of the cylinder 4,
In a moxibustion device with an adhesive 5 attached to the lower end of the cylinder 4, a plurality of collapsible tubular vents 3A extending from the outer surface of the cylinder 4 to the lower end of the moxa 2 are arranged radially around the moxa 2. Due to the protruding formation, when the moxa 2 inside the cylindrical body 4 burns, the oxygen introduced through the heat passage hole 1A is uniformly supplied to the entire moxa 2, thereby preventing the moxa 2 from remaining unburned.

Also, by crushing an appropriate number of vents 3A,
Since the amount of oxygen introduced can be adjusted and the combustion temperature and combustion time can be arbitrarily changed, moxibustion can be applied to suit the symptoms.

Furthermore, by housing the heat conductor 7 made of sodium chloride inside the cylinder 4, the amount of heat generated by the combustion of the moxa is appropriately transmitted to the affected area, and the possibility that the burning moxa will fall inside the cylinder 4 is eliminated. . In addition, since the sodium chloride crystal retains heat for a while after moxa combustion, this preheating allows moxibustion to be performed for a longer period of time.

Moreover, since the heat conductor 7 is made of sodium chloride, it is easier to process than materials such as metal, and has the advantage of being cheaper in material cost.

In this way, according to this invention, it is possible to easily control the temperature of the moxibustion point, and
It has various practical effects, such as being able to reliably prevent burns during moxibustion and having extremely excellent therapeutic effects.
