ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a special-structure appliance for medical treatment (hereinafter, medical treatment appliance) to push slightly to an affected portion or effective spot of a patient and thereby to strengthen natural healing power of human body and immediately to abate or relieve various pains such as muscular pain, neuralgia, headache, lumbago, stiff-neck pain, etc., and to remedy various ailments like asthma, etc. allergy troubles, post-surgical recovery of functions, and so on.
2) Prior Art
In conventional finger pressure therapy, a nerve is stimulated and a blood flow is accelerated by massaging an affected parts of a human body and an effective spot with human hand or fingers to mitigate the pain. The acupuncture therapy applies needle or moxa heating to an affected portion or an effective spot to perform treatment using heating power.
The conventional finger pressure therapy is effective in mitigating a stiff-shoulder pain, a muscular pain, etc., but it takes a long time. On the other hand, the acupuncture therapy has the problem of causing terror into a patient's heart, and resistance to it due to patient's excessive disliking for injection needles and apprehension of infection with AIDS virus (HIV-virus) due to direct insertion of needles into human body. In order to solve the above problems, this inventor has accomplished an invention of a finger pressure appliance in Japanese utility model application No. 9-10149.
This present invention solved above-mentioned problems and made further improvement over the invention of the Japanese utility model application No. 9-10149. The ailment can be cured without causing pain of human body, just by applying medical treatment appliance in contact with the affected portions and pushing slightly to a skin of a patient to enhance a natural healing power of human body and to relieve pains. Moreover, as it is absolutely safe in respect of infection with AIDS (HIV) virus, etc., due to contact, it gives patients a feeling of security. Besides, unlike electric medical instrument, it also does not use any external electricity. It is intended to introduce a medical treatment appliance that can give epoch-making treatment results.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
As a result of ardent study of this inventor to solve the above-mentioned problems, this inventor has accomplished this invention of a medical treatment appliance to carryout therapeutical treatment by slightly pushing it to a skin of a patient, thereby solving those problems. The medical treatment appliance comprises a grip portion, a conductor portion consisting essentially of electrically conductive metal(s), a “different metal” portion with an ionization tendency different from that of the electrically conductive metal(s), and optionally a crystal portion essentially consisting of a mineral, wherein said “different metal” portion, and optionally said crystal portion is(are) attached to said conductor portion.
Here, the word “different metal” means a metal with a tendency of ionization different from that of the electrically conductive metal(s) in the conductor portion.
That is, this invention provide a medical treatment appliance to carry out therapeutical treatment by slightly pushing it to a skin of a patient, comprising a grip portion, a conductor portion consisting essentially of electrically conductive metal(s), a “different metal” portion having an ionization tendency different from said electrically conductive metal(s), and optionally a crystal portion consisting essentially of a mineral, wherein said “different metal” portion and optionally said crystal portion is(are) attached to said conductor portion.
In this invention, it is preferable that said grip portion has a thin, long, rod-like shape, and an acute angle-shaped conductor portion is provided at at least one end of said grip part, and said conductor portion is composed of at least one metal(s) selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, platinum, iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, tin, zinc, tungsten and titanium, and a “different metal” portion is attached to said conductor portion.
Further, it is preferable that said medical treatment appliance has a thin, long, rod-like shape, and said conductor portion is composed of at least one metal(s) selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, platinum, iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, tin, zinc, tungsten and titanium, and a “different metal” portion is attached to said conductor portion.
It is also preferable that said grip portion is a thin, long, rod-like shape, and an acute angle-shaped conductor is provided at at least one end of said grip portion, and a multiple of branched conductors starting from its other end is provided, and said conductor portion is made of at least one metal(s) selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, platinum, iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, tin, zinc, tungsten and titanium, and a “different metal” is attached to said conductor portion.
It is preferable that said “different metal” portion is composed of at least one metal(s) selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, platinum, iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, tin, zinc, tungsten, and titanium.
It is preferable that said crystal portion is pressure-fitted with said conductor portion, holding a tip height of said crystal portion at almost the same level as or a little lower level than a tip height of said “different metal” portion.
It is preferable that a hanger made of a rope or a chain or a mineral stone consisting essentially of birth stone is provided.
It is preferable that said grip portion is composed of synthetic resins.
It is preferable that said “different metal” portion is extruded from one side of said conductor portion composed of at least one metal(s) selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, platinum, iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, tin, zinc, tungsten and titanium, and said conductor portion is fixed to a base material, and an adhesive layer is applied onto a whole surface of said base material, excluding said “different metal” portion, and a layer of a releasing agent is laminated on a whole surface of said adhesive layer.
It is preferable that said “mineral” is a quartz, a tourmaline selected from the group consisting of schori, alkali tourmaline and dravite, hemimorphite, Rochelle salt or topaz.
