Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a moxibustion device for administering moxibustion treatment to an affected area by generating heat and smoke using a rod-shaped heating incense stick.

Traditionally known warm moxibustion treatments include moxibustion using so-called "moxa" and methods in which a moxibustion device containing a built-in heating element is rubbed against the skin, but both methods cause changes in the condition of the skin at the treatment site due to heat during treatment. cannot be visually recognized, and there is a risk that excessive heating may be applied to the skin, leading to burns, and the treatment requires skill.

This invention aims to provide a moxibustion device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, expands the range of areas that can be affected by moxibustion, and also enables therapy such as contraction of atomic bomb-affected areas due to smoke generation.

That is, if we describe the moxibustion device of this invention in detail together with the drawings of the embodiments, Fig. 1 is a side view of the moxibustion device of this invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the moxibustion device of this invention.
3 is a view taken along the line II-U in the figure, FIG. 3 is a view taken along the line ■-■ in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line ■-■ in FIG. It is made up of parts.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a handle to be grasped by the practitioner, and a housing 2 is attached to the lower surface of the handle by bolts 3 and nuts 4, and a holding pipe 5 is attached to the rear end of the housing 2. A plurality of incense sticks 6 are penetrated by the tube part 6 and are arranged in parallel in the width direction by brazing, etc., and the housing and the holding pipe constitute the holding part 8 of the rod-shaped heating incense stick T.

The housing 2 of the holding part 8 has small holes 9 on both sides of its tail end surface so that outside air for cooling can be introduced into the internal space which is quadrupled between the inner surface of the housing and the outer peripheral surface of the tube part. It is worn.

Further, from the tail end tube part 6 of the holding pipe 50, an arm part 10 formed of a part of the tube wall extends toward the tip, and an annular part 11 is integrally formed at the tip, and an elastic piece 12 is integrally formed from there toward the tail part. The rod-shaped incense stick 7 inserted through the center hole of the annular part 11 and the tube part 6 is held between elastic pieces 12 to prevent it from falling off.

One piece of the housing hinge 13 is fixed to the tip of the handle together with the holding part by the bolt 3 and nut 4, and a concave reflective plate 14 is fixed to the other piece of the hinge 13 with its concave reflective surface facing downward. The hinge 13 allows the concave reflector 14 to be tilted up and down at the tip of the handle so that it can take a downward position shown by a solid line in FIG. 1 and an upright position shown by a chain line in FIG.

In the illustrated example, when the concave reflector 14 is in the prone position, the spring pieces 15 are used to hold the other piece of the hinge 13 between both side edges to maintain the attitude, and the upright angle of the reflector in the upright position is determined. A regulating stopper 16 is provided at the tip of the handle.

A through hole 17 is bored in the center of the concave reflecting plate 14,
The reflective plate 14 covers the top surface of the tip of the rod-shaped heat-generating incense stick 7 held in the holding part in its downward position, so that the red-hot part 7 of the incense stick 7 can be seen through the through-hole 17, and the treatment can be performed through the through-hole 17. To enable a person to blow incense fumes onto the affected area by blowing into the incense stick.

When using the moxibustion device of the present invention with the above configuration,
A rod-shaped exothermic incense stick (usually composed mainly of moxa that has been molded into a rod shape and solidified) is inserted into the tip of each holding pipe and ignited at the tip, so that the glowing part γ is located directly below the approximate center of the reflector. Hold the handle with the reflector 14 in a downward position and bring it close to the skin of the treatment site to warm the affected area.

At this time, the skin condition of the affected area to be treated can be checked from the armpit or with the reflector in a supine position since the reflector 14 is operated away from the skin, and the red-hot area 7' and the through hole 17 can also be seen. It is possible to check the combustion status of the atomic bomb, and it is also possible to treat the area affected by the atomic bomb by, for example, blowing into the area affected by the atomic bomb through the through hole 17, bringing the incense stick into contact with the area and causing the affected area to contract due to the components in the smoke. .

Especially when performing the treatment on the shoulders and back by yourself, since the treatment is performed on areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye, there is a risk that the red-hot area γ may get too close to or come into contact with the skin, causing burns. In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a C-shaped ring 18 made of a non-combustible and heat-resistant material such as fiber-reinforced plastic is fitted into the concave ring groove 19 so that the peripheral edge of the reflector 140 is fitted. The elasticity of the C-shaped ring itself allows it to fit onto the reflective plate, and the lower edge of the ring 180 is used in contact with the skin.

By doing so, the circulation of air necessary for combustion is ensured within the ring 18 between the groove portion 20 of the C-shaped ring and the through hole 19, and appropriate heating is achieved depending on the height dimension of the ring 18. fulfilled.

Incidentally, a plurality of the above-mentioned concave annular grooves 19 are provided at various height dimensions on the inner wall of the ring, so that the fitting height of the reflection plate 14 can be selected from various positions, and the distance between the skin and the red-hot part T can be selected. Good too.

As mentioned above, in the moxibustion device of this invention, the heating element is used without contacting the skin, and changes in the skin due to heating can be visually confirmed, so there is no risk of accidental burns, and the function of the reflector allows the heat to be generated. Even if the area is far from the skin, it can provide sufficient heating in a concentrated manner to the required area.
Furthermore, the conductive heat from the heat generating part is effectively air-cooled by the housing with small holes in the holding part, making it difficult for it to be transmitted to the handle, so even if the handle is made of metal, it will not cause burns to the practitioner's hands. Instead, it is made entirely of metal, making it easier to disinfect and also easier to manufacture and maintain.
