Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make lightweight and prevent moxa and its ash from dropping by inserting and integrating an insertion tube which a needle is inserted into and a crown is engaged with into a moxa receptacle made up of a metal mesh. SOLUTION: A cap for moxa-topped needle is formed by forming a moxa receptacle 2 by shaping a metal mesh 1 into a trumpet-like form and inserting an insertion tube 3 which a needle is inserted into and a crown is engaged with. Moxa 5 may be compacted into a prescribed shape in advance and stuck into the insertion tube 3 or formed by cramming it into the moxa receptacle 2. Moxa 5 shaped into an inverted cone or inverted frustum helps keep calorie to the skin that determines the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion constant to the end. Lowering the height of the periphery of the moxa receptacle 2 makes moxa to be ignited easily. Adjustment of the height of the periphery increases or decreases calorie to the skin. Moxa can be prevented from dropping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moxibustion head acupuncture cap for preventing a moxa head acupuncture mushroom or cinders from falling onto the skin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A moxibustion head acupuncture cap (hereinafter referred to as a cap) is a moxa head acupuncture mousse (including wormwood and charcoal such as wormwood and charcoal bark such as wormwood and charcoal) or burned on the skin. It is a tool for preventing falling, and is composed of a mushroom receiving portion for receiving a moxa or a cinder, and a puncture tube placed over the crown of the acupuncture needle, and the puncture tube is supported from below by the acupuncture needle. The mushroom receiving part has a container-like shape that wraps the mushroom and a substantially disk-shaped thing that has a wide surface in the falling direction of the muzzle, but in any case, it was manufactured from a pressed metal plate .

[0003]

From the viewpoint of preventing the mushroom or the cinder from falling, the muzzle receiving portion is preferably as large as possible. However, in order to suppress the weight increase in proportion to the size, the size of the muzzle receiving portion is limited. There is a limit, and the conventional cap could not be expected to have a sufficient fall prevention function. Also, when considering the heat transfer from the burning mushroom, the thinner the cap interposed between the mushroom and the skin, the more preferable,
Forming a thin cap increases the number of pressing steps and increases the cost of the cap.

[0004] Therefore, while having a mushroom receiving portion large enough to prevent the mushroom or cinder from falling, it is light,
The study was repeated to develop a moxibustion head acupuncture cap that would not hinder the heat transfer from the burning mushroom.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of the examination, what has been developed consists of a moxa for moxibustion head acupuncture or a moxa receiving part for receiving cinders, and a puncture tube that covers the crown of the acupuncture needle. This is a cap for moxibustion head acupuncture that integrates both with a puncture tube to be locked inserted through a mushroom receiving portion formed of a metal mesh. In this cap, it is preferable that the muzzle receiving portion has a substantially inverted cone shape or a substantially inverted truncated cone shape. The upper end of the skull is closed,
Based on a cylindrical shape with an open lower end, the muffler receiving portion aligns and secures the inserted lower end edge portion with the insertion portion of the puncture tube, but it is only necessary to insert the needle and lock the crown. It may be a frustum-shaped fistula with the upper end opened and the side surface inclined, or a long fistula with the lower end extending further downward from the muzzle receiving portion. Metal mesh, for example, 0.16mm
A 40-mesh braided φ steel wire (used for tea strainers) is one guide.

[0006] The metal mesh has a gap, but if the mesh is fine, it can sufficiently catch muffled or burned metal. Rather, because of the presence of the gap, it is lighter than a metal plate and has moldability that can be easily deformed by human hands. For this reason, the muzzle receiving portion formed of a metal mesh has the advantages that it is lightweight, can be made large, and can be freely shaped in accordance with the solidified mound. In addition, the heat conductivity is not inferior to that of a metal plate, and heat radiation can be expected directly from the gap, so that the heat of the muffler does not need to be wasted.

The mushroom receiving portion made of a metal mesh has a container shape with an open top, for example, an inverted cone shape or an inverted truncated cone shape.
It can wrap the muffles or cinders and almost completely prevent it from falling. Since the metal mesh can be easily formed by human hands, the outer shape may be adjusted again according to the shape of the molded and solidified mushroom. In addition, in consideration of simply receiving the muzzle or the cinder, the metal mesh formed in a planar shape may be used as the muzzle receiving portion.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a metal mesh 1
Muzzle receiving part 2 and puncture tube 3 obtained by forming
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a use state of the cap for moxibustion head, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 2 showing a use state of the cap in which the top of the puncture tube 3 is lowered and the height of the muzzle receiving portion 2 relative to the needle 4 is relatively increased.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cap of this embodiment uses a metal mesh 1 formed into a trumpet shape with an open upper surface as a clogging receiving portion 2 by utilizing the ease of forming the metal mesh. As shown in FIG. 2, the mushroom 5 may be formed into a predetermined shape by previously staking it into a predetermined shape, and may be inserted into the muzzle receiving portion 2. As in this example, the formation of the inverted cone or inverted truncated cone 5 has the advantage that the amount of heat applied to the skin that determines the utility of acupuncture can be kept constant from ignition to the end of combustion. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, if a cap in which the periphery of the mushroom receiving portion 2 is lowered is used, the top plane of the moxa 5 protrudes from the periphery of the moxa receiving portion 2 to facilitate ignition,
As can be seen in FIG. 4, by adjusting the height of the apex of the puncture tube 3, the relative height of the muzzle receiving portion 2 with respect to the acupuncture needle 4 can be adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of heat applied to the skin. it can.

FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a production process 1 in which a piercing tube 3 having a projection called a cord 6 is inserted through the metal mesh 1, and FIG. 6 shows the metal mesh 1 from the state of FIG. It is the same part expanded sectional view showing the manufacturing process 2 which integrated the piercing tube 3 and the metal mesh 1 further by forming the cord 7 so that it might be pinched. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the piercing tube 3 having the cord 6 formed is inserted through the metal mesh 1, and the cord 6 is applied to the metal mesh 1. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, a vertical pressure is applied to the puncture tube 3 while pushing and expanding the protruding portion 8 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 4), and the cord 6 is crushed flat and simultaneously pushed and expanded. Excess portions are cut off from the protruding portions 8 to form the support rings 7. In this manner, the metal mesh 1 can be fixed and integrated with the puncture tube 3 in such a manner that the metal mesh 1 is sandwiched between the flattened upper cord 6 and the lower support ring 7.

In addition, for example, FIG. 7 (a diagram corresponding to FIG. 6 of another example)
As shown in FIG. 2, the washer 9 is addressed to the support ring, and the metal mesh 1 is sandwiched between the stringer 6 crushed flat by the vertical pressure applied to the puncture tube 3 and the washer 9. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8 (corresponding to FIG. 6 of another example), the piercing tube 3 is inserted into the eyelet 10 previously fitted into the metal mesh 1 and a vertical pressure is applied to the eyelet 10. , Eyelet 10
And the metal mesh 1 may be integrated by caulking the deformed eyelets 10 on the sachet 3.

The muzzle receiving portion made of the metal mesh of the present invention can have various shapes other than the above-mentioned examples because of the ease of forming the metal mesh has. For example, an inverted umbrella-shaped mushroom receiving section 11 with an increased area of the top opening
(FIG. 9: a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 1), a cap having a frustum-shaped inverted square pyramid receiving portion 12 (FIG. 10: a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 1), and a three-dimensional curved surface whose side faces bulge in the radial direction. A cap having a muzzle receiving portion 13 in the shape of an inverted truncated pyramid (FIG. 1
1: a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 1) and a cap having a muzzle receiving portion 14 in the shape of a truncated inverted hexagonal pyramid (FIG. 12: perspective view corresponding to FIG. 1). These have different capacities even when the height of the mushroom receiving portion is the same, so that they may be properly used depending on the amount of moxa used.

[0013]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a moxibustion head acupuncture cap having a muzzle receiving portion which is lighter or larger than the conventional one, so that a large amount of mushroom or cinder can be almost completely prevented from falling. Become. The muzzle receiving portion made of the metal mesh is easy to manufacture due to the property of the formability of the metal mesh and easy to shape according to the solidified muzzle, so that it is highly convenient in actual use. In addition, the gap that exists because it is a metal mesh allows heat to radiate directly from the gusset even if it is different from the past, and the synergy between conduction heat and radiant heat through acupuncture is higher than the conventional effect of acupuncture It is expected to bring. Thus, the cap of the present invention has the effect of enhancing safety and the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion.
