Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article discusses, but is not limited to, a health care device that may be related to acupoints.

[0002] This document claims priority to PCT / CN2020 / 088533 filed on April 30, 2020, and PCT / CN2020 / 107950 filed on August 7, 2020, in order to supplement other embodiments that were not fully disclosed in those applications. (Note: Except for the supplementary explanation in paragraph

[0005] , the description of this application is substantially consistent with the content of the latter (second) priority application up to Figure 16 and paragraph 0076. However, the novelty search report of the second priority application revealed that four prior art applications with similar uses already exist in China and one in Japan, respectively. Therefore, paragraph

[0003] is added to discuss the differences between this invention and these five prior art applications.) Background Technology

[0003] The novelty search report of the second priority claim cited five prior art applications that are similar to the present invention, namely: 1. CN107213013A filed on July 7, 2017; 2. CN205094975U filed on November 16, 2015; 3. CN2173060Y filed on January 19, 1993; 4. CN201101700Y filed on November 15, 2007; and 5. WO2018 / 173309 filed on July 4, 2017.

[0004] The differences between them and the present invention will be briefly discussed here as follows:

[0005] 1. Regarding Case 1 CN107213013A, Case 4 CN201101700Y and Case 5 WO2018 / 173309, the user must first adjust the protrusion height of the working end before attempting to attach the working device to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly loosen and bind the device to gradually find the correct protrusion height of the working head through trial and error.

[0006] 2. Regarding the second case CN205094975U, we can immediately see that (1) the design of its fixed base 4 makes it difficult for users to visually align or compare the correct or optimal position of an acupoint; (2) its design is obviously only applicable to pressing and not applicable to other occasions (such as microwave or moxibustion); and (3) as can be seen from the fact that its fixed base 4 is fixed on the lower curved substrate 7, its design starting point and concept are completely different from the present invention.

[0007] Thirdly, regarding case 3 CN2173060Y, because the pressure head 6 is hidden underneath, the user cannot visually adjust or accurately position the device in the precise location, and it has the shortcomings of cases 1, 4 and 5.

[0008] Perhaps due to the aforementioned reasons, it is difficult to find its application products on the market to date. Summary of the Invention

[0009] As mentioned earlier, since the content of the aforementioned basic prototype is already quite extensive, it seems inappropriate to add further content. Therefore, the present invention aims to supplement it with other embodiments that it has not fully disclosed. Specifically, the health care body and health care device disclosed in the aforementioned basic prototype are relatively large in size and space occupation; the supplement that the present invention seeks to disclose focuses on being extremely lightweight and portable.

[0010] Since the aforementioned basic case has fully disclosed the principles, theoretical basis, and ideals of this invention, its entire content is cited here to avoid redundancy. This invention only adds another ideal: to make the acupoint working component and the soft health care body lightweight. Specific embodiments other than pressing are explicitly proposed to clearly demonstrate that this structure is not limited to pressing; all health care techniques related to acupoints can be used. The term "health care work" here refers to a health care behavior that targets specific body parts or acupoints to achieve health care effects, such as electrical stimulation (as described in paragraphs

[0001] and

[0019] of the first priority basic case specification), light stimulation (as described in paragraph

[0002] of the first priority basic case specification, including laser stimulation (as described in paragraph

[0003] of the first priority basic case specification)), and thermal stimulation (as described in paragraphs

[0004] and

[0001] of the first priority basic case specification). The invention may include, but is not limited to, non-invasive or non-contact acupoint stimulation methods (as described in paragraphs

[0005] and

[0017] of the specification of the first priority basis case), microwave stimulation (as described in paragraphs

[0006] and

[0021] to

[0029] of the specification of the first priority basis case), magnetic stimulation (as described in paragraphs

[0007] to

[0038] of the specification of the first priority basis case), and / or traditional acupuncture (as described in paragraphs

[0008] and

[0044] of the specification of the first priority basis case).

[0011] The lightweight design required in this article is not limited to the miniaturization of the device originally disclosed, but also aims to make it convenient to use anytime, anywhere.

[0012] This article also requires that it be used as a fashionable, practical, or decorative item. Attached Figure Description

[0065] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, discloses various embodiments of the present invention. As in the preceding description, one embodiment of this invention is a specific embodiment used to aid in understanding a particular conceptual perspective, and is not the only feasible mode or limit of that conceptual perspective. Conversely, descriptions of other specific embodiments of a conceptual perspective can often be used as a reference for substituting or modifying this conceptual perspective.

[0066] Please see Figure 1 According to a first embodiment of the acupoint working device 1 of the present invention, it includes a working body 10 and a working component 20. The working body 10 has a central screw hole 12 with an internal thread 14 and a thickness D0. The working component 20 has a working rod 22 and an operating part 28. The working rod 22 has a working end 24 and a threaded portion 26. The height H0 of the threaded portion 26 (i.e., the length extending downward from the bottom surface of one of the operating parts 28 of the working body 10) is slightly greater than the thickness D0 of the working body, so as to determine the degree to which the working end 24 protrudes from the working body after being screwed into the internal thread 14. The operating part 28 is for manual operation to determine the non-invasive depth or force of the working end 24 pressing the acupoint.

[0067] The degree of pressure felt at acupoints can vary considerably depending on (1) age, (2) physical condition, and (3) the texture of the skin and flesh. Furthermore, as we know, pressure is derived from (4) force divided by (5) area; that is, in addition to the magnitude of the force, the area of ​​contact with the pressure also plays an equally important role. The acupoint pressure values ​​in the table below should encompass all ranges after considering the above five factors, while two examples of contact areas show the corresponding applied force values.

[0068] Press Acupoint pressure value <![CDATA[0.03cm 2 Force on area <![CDATA[0.07cm 2 Force on area light <![CDATA[3-12kgf / cm 2 ]]> 0.09-0.36 kgf / 0.882-3.528 N 0.21-0.84 kgf / 2.058-8.232 N Heavy <![CDATA[8-18kgf / cm 2 ]]> 0.24-0.54 kgf / 2.352-5.292 N 0.56-1.26 kgf / 5.488-12.348 N

[0069] *1kgf=9.8N

[0070] Generally speaking, the effective area of ​​acupressure is approximately 0.3 cm². 2 (The actual pressure area of ​​the fingertip is 1cm x 0.3cm), so the force applied to acupressure points, whether light or heavy, is approximately 0.9-5.4 kgf. It is this amount of force that makes the person applying acupressure feel tired. However, if... Figure 1 The area of ​​the working end 24 is reduced (regardless of 0.03cm). 2 or 0.07cm 2 To achieve this, the required force is only 0.09-1.26 kgf (even if the applied area is increased to 0.2 cm²). 2 The force required is only 0.6-3.6 kgf, which is significantly easier and less strenuous because it requires no human or material assistance, thus allowing it to serve the user anytime, anywhere. The working end 24 is preferably blunt and rounded, with a total circular area of ​​less than 0.02 cm². 2It is more likely to cause pain, and if the muscles are weak, there may be a risk of falling into danger, so it should not be less than 0.02cm. 2 Conversely, if the area of ​​its entire circle is greater than 0.8 cm², then... 2 While pain is unlikely, precise interaction with acupoints may be impractical. Therefore, the optimal area of ​​the complete circle should be within 0.05cm. 2 Up to 0.6cm 2 between.

[0071] In other words, this article describes how the working device 24 replaces the skilled hands of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to perform acupressure. How do the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and acupressure compare? If the acupoints are accurately located, the effect of acupressure can reach 80% of that of acupuncture. Here, we further analyze it as follows: Although the effect of acupressure from the same practitioner is only 80% of that of acupuncture, the time required for acupuncture is limited and costly. Therefore, if the user has their own acupoint working device 1, they can extend the pressing time themselves, thus achieving a greater cumulative effect (instantaneous effect * application time)!

[0072] For instructions on using the acupoint working device 1, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The working body 10 includes two grooves 16, each with a hook portion 18 that slopes downwards to the left. To facilitate the use of the working end 24, a soft health care body 30, i.e., a cloth strip 30, has two ends 32, each end 32 fixed with two hooks 34, each hook 34 having a hook end 36 that slopes downwards to the left for fastening into the hook portion 18. The cloth strip 30 has a plurality of fastening segments 38 near each end 32, so that after the cloth strip 30 wraps around the acupoint working device 1 and secures it to a specific acupoint of the user, the length of the last loop, determined by the user's build, is selected to ensure the most appropriate pair of segments 38 for holding and positioning the acupoint working device 1, thus maintaining a positioning relationship between the acupoint working device 1 and the user's specific acupoint. Therefore, the acupoint working device 1 and the cloth strip 30 together constitute a health care device 2, comparable to the efficacy of various health care devices in the previous design. Of course, for aesthetic reasons, the fabric strip 30 may be made of silk or any other pleasing texture or design.

[0073] In use, the soft health care body 30 is used to position the health care device 1 on the body part, so that the working end 24 and the acupoint are maintained in a specific positional relationship, wherein the body part has a skin surface. The first end 32 of the soft health care body 30 can be connected to the working body 10 as described above, or simply placed on the skin surface or the health care device 1. Since the soft health care body 30 is made of cloth, after wrapping itself several times, the first end 32 is automatically secured between itself and the working body 10 (and / or the acupoint working part 20 or the skin surface). Therefore, near the end of the other end 32, the soft health care body 30 has a plurality of fastening line pairs 38 sewn or provided for hooks 34 to fasten and position. In this way, under the constraint of this specific positional relationship, the tip 24T of the working end 24 and the skin surface are at a working depth to perform a pressing or health care work on the acupoint.

[0074] Note that, depending on body size and location, the depth to which the fingertip or working end 24 depresses the skin surface is approximately 0.1-3cm, ideally or for average body types, between 0.2-2cm. However, depending on the body part, the optimal or more common working depth range is usually between 0.3-1.5cm. Therefore, if the height H00 of the working end 24 is set at 0.2cm, we can obtain that (the height of the threaded portion 26) H0 is slightly greater than (the thickness of the working body 10) D0, meaning it should not exceed 1.8cm. Because the acupoints on the chest and back are not far from the internal organs, for these areas, the tip of the working end 24T ( Figure 1The height difference between the device and the skin surface should not exceed 0.3 cm. Of course, at this time / in these places, H0 should preferably be equal to D0 for safety. In detail, although the working depth of the working part 20 can be completely defined by the height H00 range of the working end 24, in order to make the operating part 28 fit snugly with the working body 10 and avoid the abrupt feeling of the health care device 1 on the skin surface, the threaded part 26 should preferably be fully locked into the internal thread 14. Therefore, the working depth of the health care device 1 is preferably determined by the threaded part 26 and / or the working end 24 extending on the lower surface of the working body 10, and the height H00 range should be at least 0.1-0.3 cm to prevent the threaded part 26 from contacting the skin and causing discomfort. Of course, for body parts suitable for deeper working depths, since this invention is non-invasive, if the height H00 is set between 0.3-0.5cm, then the range where the total height H0(+D0) of the threaded portion 26 is greater than the thickness D0 of the working body 10 can be calculated to be between 1.5-1.7cm (the total working depth is equal to the aforementioned preferred range of 0.2-2cm). From another perspective, if the aforementioned working depth is entirely provided by the working end 24, then at the aforementioned preferred working depth, the length of the working end 24 can reach 2cm. Conversely, if the aforementioned working depth is mainly provided by the threaded portion 26, then considering that the working end 24 is preferably 0.3cm, the height of the threaded portion 26 should be less than 1.7cm greater than the thickness of the working body 10. However, considering the adjustment requirements of the working depth at different acupoints, the preferred or more common range for the threaded portion 26 should be between 0.3-1.5cm.

[0075] Taking the Hegu acupoint on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming as an example, there are three methods for locating the acupoint: 1. The midpoint of the line connecting the junction of the thumb and index finger metacarpal bones and the bottom edge of the web between the thumb and index finger; 2. The highest point of the muscle ridge after the thumb and index finger metacarpal bones merge; 3. The midpoint of an arc formed by pressing the midpoint of the fingerprint (commonly known as the "Confucius' eye") between the two phalanges of the other thumb against the center of the bottom edge of the web between the thumb and index finger of the hand to be located, and then placing the tip of the other thumb on the skin surface between the thumb and index finger metacarpal bones of the hand to be located. Using any of these three methods to locate the Hegu acupoint is quite accurate. To achieve this skill, please refer to [further details needed]. Figure 3 The second embodiment 40 of the working part of the present invention has a threaded portion 42 for screwing into the internal threaded hole 12 of the working body 10, and an oblique working end 44.

[0076] The height of the threaded portion 42 of the workpiece 40 can be equal to Figure 1 In the middle, H0+D0, while the inclined working end 44 has a vertical component H01 that can be equal to Figure 1The H00 in the middle, and a horizontal misalignment component DP. To make this misalignment component easily known to the user, it is preferable to display this misalignment component DP on the working body 10 so that the user can see the value of this misalignment component DP when using, searching for or locating acupoints. In addition, to facilitate the user's identification / search for acupoints, the working body 10 preferably has at least one transparent area TZ. It can be noted here that the inclined working end 44 also plays the role of the operating part, so as to screw the working part 40 onto the working body 10.

[0082] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 2, the height H00 of the working end 24 is between 0.1 and 0.3 cm, while the total height H0(+D0) of the threaded portion 26 is greater than the thickness D0 of the working body 10, ranging from 1.7 to 1.9 cm.

[0083] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 2, the working body 10 is circular and has a central screw hole 12; the acupoint working component 20 has a working rod 22 and an operating part 28; and the working rod 22 has a working end 24 and a threaded part 26 screwed into the central screw hole 12.

[0084] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 2, the threaded portion 26 has a height H0 slightly greater than the thickness D0 of the working body, so as to determine the degree to which the working end 24 protrudes from the working body after being screwed into the internal thread 14; and the operating portion 28 is for manual operation to determine the depth or force of the working end 24 pressing the acupoint.

[0085] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 2, the pressure channel is between 3-12 kgf / cm². 2 Or 8-18 kgf / cm 2 between.

[0088] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 2, the acupoint working part 40 has a threaded portion 42 for screwing into the inner threaded hole 12 of the working body 10, and an oblique working end 44, wherein the oblique working end 44 has a horizontal misalignment component DP, and the working body 10 displays this misalignment component DP and has a transparent area TZ to facilitate the user to find or locate the acupoint.

[0089] From another perspective, the aforementioned embodiment discloses a health care device 1, including an acupoint working component 20 with a working end 24 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user. The working end 24 has a tip 24T, and the body part has a skin surface. A working body 10 is also included, on which the acupoint working component 20 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 24 with the acupoint, maintaining a specific positional relationship between the working end 24 and the acupoint. When the health care device 1 is operated to create a working depth between the tip 24T and the skin surface, the pressing or health care work will be performed on the acupoint under the constraint of this specific positional relationship.

[0090] From another perspective, the aforementioned embodiment discloses a soft health care body 30 for use in conjunction with a health care device 1. The health care device 1 includes an acupoint working component 20 and a working body 10. The acupoint working component 20 has a working end 24 for applying pressure to an acupoint on a user's body part. The working end 24 has a tip 24T, and the body part has a skin surface. The working body 10 has the acupoint working component 20 mounted thereon, allowing the user to align the working end 24 with the acupoint and the soft health care body. The body 30 is an easy-to-use, wrapping object for positioning the health care device 1 on the body part, and includes a first end 32 connected to the working body 10, or placed on the skin surface or the health care device 1, and a second end 32, which is positioned on the soft health care body 30 after the working end 24 and the acupoint are maintained in a specific positional relationship by the soft health care body 30, so that under the restriction of the specific positional relationship, the health care device 1 can perform the pressing or health care work on the acupoint because the tip 24T and the skin surface have a working depth.

[0091] Please see Figure 4 According to the second embodiment 4 of the health care device described herein, it includes a health care device 3 and a soft health care body 80. The health care device 3 includes a working body 50 and a working component 70, wherein the working body 50 has two ends 51, two sides 59, a central screw hole 62 with internal threads 64, a central recess 60, and a component that is not shown in the diagram for simplicity, but is similar to... Figure 1The thickness of D0 is one of the following. Each end 51 or side 59 has a plurality of mooring media 52 or 56, each mooring media 52 (56) having a larger mooring area 53 (68) and a restraining area 55 (66) connected to the mooring area 53 (68), and each mooring media 52 (56) is connected to each other by a groove 54 (58) provided on the end 51 (or side 59). The working part 70 has an operating part 72 at its upper end and a working rod 74, and the working rod 74 has a working end 78 and a threaded part 76. The height of the threaded part 76 (i.e., the length extending downward from the bottom surface of one of the operating parts 72 of the working body 10) is at least slightly greater than the thickness of the working body, so as to help determine the degree to which the working end 78 protrudes from the working body after being screwed into the internal thread 64, because with Figure 1 The same principle applies, so I won't elaborate further here.

[0092] The operating section 72 has a rough surface to facilitate manual operation and determine the depth or force of pressure applied to acupoints by the working end 78. For example... Figure 5A As shown, the operating part 90 may be provided with a cross-shaped protrusion 92 to facilitate hand operation. Of course, as... Figure 5B As shown, the operating part 90' may also be provided as a cross-shaped groove 94 so that a coin can be used as the operating medium. Of course, the working body 50 may have a recessed area 60 around the central screw hole 62 to accommodate the operating part 72 of the working piece 70 during operation, so that the health care device 3 has a flush surface.

[0093] Please refer back. Figure 4To enable the working end 78 to be used by the user, a soft health care body 80, namely a cloth strip, a scarf, or a thin rope, has two ends 82, each end 82 being wrapped into a knot 84. The external operating dimensions of the soft health care body 80 are such that it can freely pass through or wrap around the restraint area 55 (66) or the groove 54 (58), but the actual usable dimensions of each end knot 84 allow one end 82 of the soft health care body 80 to be restricted by the tethering area 53 (68), so that after the soft health care body 80 secures the acupoint working device 3 to a certain acupoint of the user, its end 82 can obtain the most appropriate tethering or holding effect by selecting any tethering area 53 (68), so that the acupoint working device 3 and the user's specific acupoint maintain a positioning relationship between each other. Therefore, the acupoint working device 3 and the soft health care body 80 together constitute a health care device 4, which is comparable to the efficacy of various health care devices in the previous design. Of course, for aesthetic reasons, the flexible health care body 80 can be made of various appealing textures or designs. Naturally, some acupoints, such as Hegu, do not have symmetrical skin surfaces around them for binding. Therefore, if one end 82 (left side in the diagram) of the flexible health care body has an auxiliary end 86 branching off, it will be easier to bind the working body 50 tightly to the user's skin. Of course, it is conceivable that both ends have auxiliary ends, or more than one auxiliary end, to facilitate the fixation of acupoints located in particularly curved parts of the body (e.g., Qiuxu or Jiexi), and this needs no further description.

[0094] In use, the soft health care body 80 is used to position the health care device 3 on a specific body part by wrapping it around the health care device 3, so that the working end 78 and the acupoint maintain a specific positional relationship. The first end 82 of the soft health care body 80 can be attached to one of the attachment areas 53 (68) of the working body 50 as described above (although any attachment area 53 (68) can be selected according to one's mood, it is best to use the end 51 or side 59 away from the wrapping direction). After the soft health care body 80 is wrapped around the health care device 3 and the specific body part several times to achieve a firm position, the other end 82 can be perfectly moored to one of the attachment areas 53 (68) by using the attachment areas 53, restraint areas 55 and grooves 54 on both ends 51, and / or the attachment areas 68, restraint areas 66 and grooves 58 on both sides 59, based on the remaining length of the other end 82 of the soft health care body 80. Thus, under the constraints of this specific positional relationship, the tip 78T of the working end 78 and the skin surface are at a working depth to perform a pressing or health care work on the acupoint.

[0095] The following is a summary of the second embodiment 4 of the health care device of the present invention: A health care device 4 includes an acupoint working component 50 with a working end 78 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; a working body 70 on which the acupoint working component 50 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 78 with the acupoint, wherein the acupoint working component 50 and the working body 70 constitute a health care device 3; and a soft health care body 80 for positioning the health care device 3 on the body part, so that the working end 78 and the acupoint maintain a specific positional relationship, wherein the body part has a skin surface; and the soft health care body 80 has a first end 82 connected to the working body 70 and a second end 82 for positioning on the working body 70, so that under the restriction of the specific positional relationship, the tip 78T of the working end 78 and the skin surface are at a working depth to perform the pressing or health care work on the acupoint.

[0096] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 4, the working body 50 has two ends 51, two sides 59, and a central screw hole 62 with an internal thread 64; each end 51 or side 59 has a plurality of tethering media 52 or 56; each tethering media 52 (56) has a larger tethering area 53 (68), a relatively smaller restraint area 55 (66) connected to the tethering area 53 (68), and a groove 54 (58) that connects each tethering media 52 (56) on the end 51 (or side 59) to each other; and the working part 70 has an operating part 72 at its upper end and a working rod 74, wherein the working rod 74 has a working end 78 and a threaded part 76 that engages with the internal thread 64.

[0097] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 4, the upper surface of the working body 50 has a central recess 60 to accommodate the operating part 72.

[0098] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 4, the operating part 72 has a rough surface, or the operating part 90 or 90' is provided with a cross-shaped protrusion 92 or a cross-shaped groove 94.

[0099] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 4, the soft health care body 80 is a cloth strip, a scarf, or a thin rope, and has two ends 82, wherein each end 82 is wrapped into a knot 84; one of the external operating dimensions of the soft health care body 80 is able to freely pass through or wrap around the restraint area 55 (66) or the groove 54 (58); the actual usable dimensions of each end knot 84 can restrict one end 82 of the soft health care body 80 by the tethering area 53 (68).

[0100] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 4, the length of a circle surrounding the health care device 3 and a specific body part is X, the length between the two ends 84 of the soft health care body 80 is between NX and (N+1)X, and N is greater than or equal to 2.

[0101] From another perspective, a health care device includes: an acupoint working component 50 with a working end 78 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user, wherein the working end has a tip 78T and the body part has a skin surface; and a working body 70 on which the acupoint working component 50 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 78 with the acupoint, so that the working end and the acupoint are maintained in a specific positional relationship, so that when the health care device is operated to create a working depth between the tip and the skin surface, the pressing or health care work is performed on the acupoint under the constraint of the specific positional relationship.

[0102] From another perspective, a soft health care body 80 is used in conjunction with a health care device 3 to position the health care device 3 on a user's body part. The health care device includes an acupoint working component 50 and a working body 70. The acupoint working component has a working end 78 for applying pressure to an acupoint. The working end 78 has a tip 78T, and the body part has a skin surface. The working body 70 has the acupoint working component 50 mounted thereon, allowing the user to align the working end 78 with the acupoint. The soft health care body 80 is an easy-to-use... The object to be wrapped is used to position the health care device 3 on the body part; and the soft health care body 80 further includes: a first end 82 connected to the working body 70, or placed on the skin surface or the health care device 3; and a second end 82, which is positioned on the working body 70 after the soft health care body 80 maintains a specific positional relationship between the working end 78 and the acupoint, so that under the restriction of the specific positional relationship, the health care device performs the pressing or health care work on the acupoint because the top end 78T and the skin surface have a working depth.

[0103] As mentioned above, the soft health care body has a first end that includes a side auxiliary end 86.

[0104] Please see Figure 6 According to the third embodiment 6 of the health care device of the present invention, it includes a health care device 5 and a soft health care body 140. The health care device 5 includes a working body 100 and a working part 120 or 130, wherein the working body 100 has two sides 109, a central screw hole 104 with internal threads 106, a central recess 102, and a part that is not shown in the figure for simplicity, but is similar to... Figure 1The thickness of D0 is one. Each side 109 has a plurality of tethering media 111, each tethering media 111 has a larger tethering area 110 and a restraining area 108 connected to the tethering area 110, and each tethering media 111 is connected to each other by a groove 107 provided on the side 109. The working part 120 has an operating part 122 at its upper end and a working rod 124, and the working rod 124 has a working end 126 and a threaded part 128. The height of the threaded part 128 (i.e., the length extending downward from the bottom surface of one of the operating parts 122 of the working body 100) is slightly greater than the thickness of the working body, so as to determine the degree to which the working end 126 protrudes from the working body after being screwed into the internal thread 106, thus being related to Figure 1 The same principle applies, so it will not be elaborated here. The acupoint working part 130 is in the shape of a curved rod, with an oblique working end 134 and a threaded part 136. The working end 134 also acts as the operating part to lock the working part 130 into the internal thread 106. In order to make the working end 126 (134) usable, we use a soft health care body 140, that is, a thin rope with two ends 142, each end 142 is wound to form a knot 144.

[0105] In use, the soft health care body 140 is used to position the health care device 5 on a specific body part by wrapping it around the health care device 5, so that the working end 126 (134) and the acupoint maintain a specific positional relationship. The first end 142 of the soft health care body 140 can be tied to one of the tethering areas 110 of the working body 100 as described above (although any tethering area 110 can be selected according to mood, it is best to choose the side 109 away from the wrapping direction). After the soft health care body 140 is wrapped around the health care device 5 and the specific body part several times to achieve a firm position, the other end 142 of the soft health care body 140 can be perfectly moored to one of the tethering areas 110 by means of the tethering areas 110, restraint areas 108 and grooves 107 on both sides 109, based on the remaining length of the other end 142 of the soft health care body 140. Thus, under the constraints of this specific positional relationship, the tip of the working end 126 (134) and the skin surface are at a working depth to perform a pressing or health care work on the acupoint.

[0106] The aforementioned health care device 6 is quite similar to the previous two health care devices 2 or 4. The difference lies in that the working body 100 has a bottom edge 138, from which two side wings 112 extend. Each side wing 112 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 114. The purpose of the side wings 112 is to cover the body parts to prevent the soft health care body 140 from leaving marks on the skin after being tightly wrapped. Because the working body 100 is made of plastic, which has poor breathability, ventilation holes 114 are added to prevent stuffiness. Of course, the working body 100 itself may also be provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 132.

[0107] The embodiments of this invention are summarized as follows: A health care device 6 includes an acupoint working component 120 with a working end 126 for pressing an acupoint on a user's body part; a working body 100 on which the acupoint working component 120 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 126 with the acupoint, wherein the acupoint working component 120 and the working body 100 constitute a health care device 5; and a soft health care body 140 for positioning the health care device 5 on the body part. The working end 126 and the acupoint are maintained in a specific positional relationship, wherein the body part has a skin surface; and the soft health care body 140 has a first end 142 connected to the working body 100 and a second end 142 for positioning on the working body 100, so that under the restriction of the specific positional relationship, the working end 126 and the skin surface are at a working depth to perform the pressing or health care work on the acupoint, wherein the working body 100 has two wings 112 extending from both sides of the bottom edge.

[0108] As in the aforementioned embodiment, each side wing 112 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 114, each side wing 112 covers the body part, the soft health care body 140 does not directly contact the skin surface, and the working body 100 may also be provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 132.

[0109] Please see Figure 7 According to the fourth embodiment 8 of the health care device of the present invention, a health care device 7 and a soft health care body 150 are included. The health care device 7 includes a working body 160 and a working component 180, wherein the working body 160 is flat and has an upper surface 162, a lower surface 164, a plurality of central screw holes 170, and a plurality of ventilation holes 172. The lower surface 164 has a central groove 166 to conform to the user's spine and an arc-shaped inclined area 168 to conform to the arc surface of the user's back extending from the spine to the shoulder blade. The working component 180 has an operating part 186 at its upper end and a working rod 182, and the working rod 182 has a working end 184 and a threaded part 186. The height of the threaded portion 186 (i.e., the length extending downward from the bottom surface of one of the operating portions 186 of the working body 160) must be at least slightly greater than the depth / height of the central threaded hole 170 of the working body 160, so as to determine the degree to which the working end 184 protrudes from the central threaded hole 170 after being screwed in, and thus... Figure 1The same principle applies, so it will not be elaborated here. To make the working end 184 usable, a soft health care body 150, which can be a scarf that the user already owns, is used. After the health care device 7 is positioned, the user binds it to their chest with both ends 152 to secure the health care device to themselves. Although this diagram uses the back as an example, if we are quick-witted, we can imagine that for more special parts of the human body, such as the instep, which is inclined, if the upper surface of the working body is parallel to the sole of the foot, but the lower surface follows the instep's inclination, it will be easier to accurately position the relevant health care device on the relevant body part.

[0110] The embodiments of this invention are summarized as follows: A health care device 8 includes an acupoint working component 180 with a working end 184 for pressing an acupoint on a user's body part; a working body 160 on which the acupoint working component 180 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 184 with the acupoint, wherein the acupoint working component 180 and the working body 160 constitute a health care device 7; and a soft health care body 150 for positioning the health care device 7 on the body part, so that the working end 184 and the acupoint maintain a specific positional relationship, wherein the body part has a skin surface; and the soft health care body 150 is a soft, long object that the user already has at home and can be used for binding, so that the user can bind the health care device 7 to himself while ensuring the specific positional relationship.

[0111] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 8, the working body 160 is in the shape of a flat plate and has an upper surface 162, a lower surface 164, a plurality of central screw holes 170 and a plurality of ventilation holes 172. The lower surface 164 has a central groove 166 to conform to the user's spine and an arc-shaped inclined area 168 to conform to the arc surface of the user's back extending from the spine to the shoulder blade.

[0112] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device, one of the upper surfaces of the working body is approximately parallel to the opposite side of the body part where the acupoint is located, while its lower surface conforms to the skin surface of that side. In this way, the soft health care body can easily fix the health care device to the body part.

[0113] Figure 8This is the fifth embodiment 500 of the health care device of the present invention, including an acupoint working component 200 with a working end 204 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; and a working body 190 on which the acupoint working component 200 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 204 with the acupoint. The acupoint working component 200, as in the previous embodiment, has a threaded portion 202 and the working end 204, while the working body 190 has a reference center 196, two symmetrical threaded holes 192, and a plurality of ventilation holes 194. It is noted that the effects of acupuncture are often symmetrical. Taking the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian as an example, with the Ren Meridian as the reference center, the Kidney Meridian is located 5 fen (approximately 0.5 cm) to the sides, therefore symmetrical pressing is necessary.

[0114] The following is an example of an embodiment: A health care device 500 includes an acupoint working component 200 with a working end 204 for pressing an acupoint on a part of a user's body; and a working body 190 on which the acupoint working component 200 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 204 with the acupoint, wherein the working body has a reference center 196 and symmetrical screw holes on both sides of the reference center.

In detail, with the assistance of others, the two wings 324 can be wound around the acupoint in the aforementioned manner after the acupoint is located; if no one is assisting, the acupoint is temporarily located with the working end 334, the two wings 324 are temporarily loosened, and then the acupoint is adjusted and the two wings 324 are tightened simultaneously so that the working end 334 exerts the optimal pressure on the acupoint. To facilitate this, at least one of the surrounding areas 329 of the working body 320 outside the central screw hole 322 is transparent to facilitate the user's acupoint location. Furthermore, the protrusion 326 and the groove 328 can be modified to any suitable form, such as through or not through, compression fit or tight fit, as long as they can be interlocked.

[0125] The following is a summary of the aforementioned health care device 1100: A health care device 1100 includes an acupoint working component 330 with a working end 334 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; and a working body 320 on which the acupoint working component 330 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 334 with the acupoint, wherein the working body 320 has two lower side extending wings 324, and the two wings 324 are respectively provided with an adjustable interlocking medium 326 (328) that surrounds the circumference of the body part.

[0126] As described above, the health care device 1100 includes one of the winglets 324 having a plurality of lower protrusions 326, another winglet 324 having a plurality of grooves 328, and the working body 320 having a central transparent area.

[0127] Please see Figure 14 According to a bottom view of the twelfth embodiment 1200 of the health care device described herein, it includes a working body 340 and a working component 350. The working body 340 has a lower side 342 and wings 344 extending from the lower side 342 to both sides. The right wing 344 has a plurality of lower protrusions 348, while the left wing 344 has a plurality of grooves 346. The working component 350 is integrally formed on the working body 340 and has a working end 352. Its use is as in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here. Of course, as mentioned above, for ease of operation, the working body 340 is transparent at least in the central area 349 to facilitate the user's location of acupoints. Of course, it is a feasible design option to set or embed practical objects, such as timers, or devices, such as jewelry, on the upper surface 341 of the working body 340.

[0128] The following is a summary of the aforementioned health care device 1200: A health care device 1200 includes an acupoint working component 350 with a working end 352 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; and a working body 340 integrally formed with the acupoint working component 350, allowing the user to align the working end 352 with the acupoint, wherein the working body 340 has two lower side extending wings 344, and the two wings 344 are respectively provided with adjustable interlocking mediums 346 (348) that surround a body part.

[0129] As in the aforementioned embodiments, a utility object or device is disposed or embedded on the upper surface 341 of the working body 340.

[0130] Please see Figure 15According to a bottom view of the thirteenth embodiment 1300 of the health care device of the present invention, it includes a working body 370 and a working component 360, wherein the working body 340 has two wings 372 extending from its two sides. The right wing 372 has a plurality of downward protrusions 374, while the left wing 372 has a plurality of grooves 376. The working component 360 is actually integrally formed on the working body 370 and has a working end 362. Its use is as in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The dimensions of each component (i.e., 360-372) in this figure may vary depending on the part of the body to be used (such as fingers, wrists, feet), and should conform to the statistical value range of the relevant general public for that body part. In addition, most of the working bodies described in the previous embodiments are made of relatively hard materials to facilitate the opening of a central screw hole or a screw hole groove, and to provide / securely fit with the threaded part. As we know, there are many modern plastic materials available. For larger body parts, only the wing 372 needs to be flexible, meaning the working body 370 other than the wing 372 can be made of a harder material. However, in this embodiment, if it is intended for use on the fingers, given their smaller size, it would be more adaptable and practical if all of the working body 370 were flexible. If we want to use this embodiment on the fingers / toes, its size should obviously be smaller; if we want to use it on the elbows or legs, its size should obviously be larger, which goes without saying. In addition, the overall transparency of the working body 370 facilitates the user's identification of acupoints, as explained above, and will not be repeated here.

[0131] The following is a summary of the aforementioned health care device 1300: A health care device 1300 includes an acupoint working component 360 with a working end 362 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; and a working body 370 integrally formed with the acupoint working component 360, allowing the user to align the working end 362 with the acupoint, wherein the working body 370 has two side-extending wings 372, and the two wings 372 are respectively provided with adjustable interlocking mediums 374 (376) that surround a body part.

[0132] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 1300, the working body 370 is flexible.

[0133] Please see Figure 16According to the fourteenth embodiment 1400 of the health care device described herein, it includes a working body 390 and a working component 380. The working body 390 includes a central screw hole 392 and two winglets 394 / 396 extending symmetrically from its two lower sides. The right winglet 396 has a plurality of lower protrusions 402 and a plurality of mating grooves 404, while the left winglet 394 has a plurality of lower protrusions 398 and a plurality of grooves 400. In addition, the working body 390 has two symmetrical transverse through grooves 406 / 408, through which the two free ends of the two winglets 394 / 396 can pass for self-locking and positioning. In this way, the two winglets 394 / 396 can be adjusted to form a circumference around the body part and are locked in place by the protrusions / grooves 398 / 400 (402 / 404). The working body 390 can be completely transparent to facilitate the user's location of acupoints. The working part 380 includes a threaded portion 382, ​​a working end 384, a timer 386, and a jewel 388. As previously described, in use, the flaps 394 / 396 can be temporarily assembled onto the working body 390, as shown in the illustration of the left flap 394, and the working part 380 can be temporarily aligned with an acupoint on a certain body part. Since the working body 390 is transparent, the alignment is easily visible, and the correct acupoint pressing is finally completed. Of course, these two flaps 394 / 396 can be integrally formed with the working body 390. It is conceivable to use this flap design in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0134] The following is a summary of the aforementioned health care device 1400: A health care device 1400 includes an acupoint working component 380 with a working end 384 for pressing an acupoint on a body part of a user; and a working body 390 on which the working component 380 is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end 384 with the acupoint. The working body 390 has two symmetrically extending wings 394 / 396 on its lower side, and two symmetrical transverse through grooves 406 / 408, through which the two free ends 410 / 412 of the two wings 394 / 396 can pass for self-locking and positioning. The two wings 394 / 396 are respectively provided with adjustable interlocking mediums 398 / 400 (402 / 404) that surround the circumference of a body part.

[0135] Regarding fingers and toes, due to their density, growth location, or somewhat unique shape, the aforementioned embodiments do not seem to be readily applicable. Furthermore, regarding palms and soles, their longitudinal thickness varies irregularly, and suitable locations along their sides are difficult to find for easy vertical and horizontal positioning of the aforementioned healthcare device embodiments on these limbs. These problems have been among the issues the applicant has sought to overcome or improve, and through diligent research, this supplementary application has been developed. Details are as follows.

[0136] Please refer to Figure 17 This is the fifteenth embodiment of the health care device 1500, used for the health care of fingers or toes, and includes a cylindrical body 1503 and an acupoint working component 1510. The cylindrical body 1503 is made of a high-tensile material such as latex or silicone, and has a contractile capacity that can simulate the radial pressure described in paragraph

[0011] . The cylindrical body 1503 has a radial perforation 1505, which is W4 away from one end 1507 of the cylindrical body 1503, and has a length L. The length L should be as short as possible while ensuring sufficient strength and ease of use for the user, and W4 should also be as short as possible, but the cylindrical body 1503 and the radial perforation 1505 must have sufficient strength. The acupoint working component 1510 has a working body 1512, an upper connecting part 1514, and a lower working end 1516. The working body 1512 has a middle section 1513 and two side sections 1515, which can be integrally formed, or the middle section 1513 together with the upper connecting part 1514 and the lower working end 1516 can be made of a harder first material, while the two side sections 1515 can be made of a softer second material, and integrated into the same manufacturing process.

[0137] This embodiment is mainly used on acupoints at the tips of the fingers / toes, namely, Shaoshang (LU11) of the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, Shangyang (LI1) and Erjian (LI2) of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming, Lidui (LI5) of the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming, Yinbai (SP1) of the Spleen Meridian of Foot-Taiyin, Shaochong (HT9) of the Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin, Shaoze (LU1) and Qiangu (GB2) of the Small Intestine Meridian of Hand-Taiyang, Zhiyin (BL69) of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, Zhongchong (PC9) of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin, Guanchong (CV1) of the Sanjiao Meridian of Hand-Shaoyang, Qiaoyin (GB2) of the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, and Dadun (LR1) of the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin. These acupoints have thin skin and little flesh, so usually only about 0.2 cm of pressure is needed for a noticeable sensation. If the correct location is pressed, a tingling, numb, or painful sensation will be felt. Even for a plump person, it is unlikely that more than 0.5 cm of pressure is required. Therefore, we can use the working end to provide light, medium, and heavy stimulation, with heights of approximately 0.15, 0.3, and 0.45 cm respectively. As for W4, to take into account the shear stress generated, it should be about 0.5 cm in size. As for L, if a perforation 1505 is made, it should be about 2 cm in length, but it can be 3 or 5 cm.

[0138] In use, the sleeve body 1503 is fitted onto the finger / toe to be worked on, and the perforation 1505 is aligned with the acupoint to be worked on. Then, the acupoint working piece 1510 is inserted between the sleeve body 1503 and the finger / toe, and the upper connecting part 1514 is positioned in the perforation 1505, thus completing the preparation for work. For easier insertion, please refer to... Figure 18 Another embodiment of the health care device 1520 has a handle 1526 on the sleeve body 1522 at an appropriate distance from a perforation 1524, so that the user can apply force to the handle to facilitate the aforementioned insertion or work preparation.

[0139] Please refer to Figure 17AIt is another embodiment 1501 of another health care device, and it is related to Figure 17 The difference in the health care device 1500 is that it does not have the perforation 1505 and the upper connecting part 1514. Due to the strong radial contraction force of the sleeve body 1503, the working body 1512 is not easy to slip off even without the positioning of the perforation 1505 and the upper connecting part 1514.

[0140] The preceding three embodiments are summarized as follows: a health care device for performing a health care function on a user's finger / toe or hand / foot, comprising a sleeve for fitting the finger / toe or hand / foot within it and having a radial or inward contraction force, wherein the finger / toe or hand / foot has an acupoint; and an acupoint working element. The working element has a working end for performing the health care function on the acupoint; and a working body on which the working end is mounted, allowing the user to place the acupoint working element between the sleeve and the finger / toe or hand / foot, so that the working end is aligned with the acupoint.

[0141] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device, the health care function is a pressing function.

[0142] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device, the sleeve has a radial perforation, and the working body has a connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion and the working end are disposed on opposite sides of the working body.

[0143] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device, the sleeve has an end and a handle, so that the user can apply force to the handle to facilitate the placement of the acupoint working part between the sleeve and the finger / toe or hand / foot area.

[0144] As in the aforementioned embodiments of the health care device, the sleeve is made of transparent and / or high-tensile material, and the working body has a middle section and two side sections, wherein the middle section and the two side sections may be made of the same or different materials.

[0145] Please refer to Figure 19This is the health care device 1530 of the eighteenth embodiment of the present invention, used to care for acupoints on the palm of a user, and includes a palm sleeve body 1532 and a short wrist extension 1534. The palm sleeve body 1532 is in the form of a palm sleeve, and is also made of a high-tensile material such as latex or silicone, and has a contraction ability that can simulate the radial pressure described in paragraph

[0011] . The palm sleeve body 1532 has a wrist opening 1562, a thumb opening 1536, an index finger opening 1538, a middle finger opening 1540, a ring finger opening 1542, a little finger opening 1544, and a plurality of corresponding acupoint openings 1546–1560. Because this diagram shows the back of the hand with many acupoints, only the acupoint openings corresponding to the Yang meridians on the palm are displayed. These Yang meridian acupoints include Sanjian (1546), Hegu (1548), Houxi (1558), and Wangu (1560) of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian; and Yemen (1552) and Zhongzhu (1554) of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. The short extension at wrist 1534 is designed to allow acupoints of various meridians located on the wrist to be placed there, such as Taiyuan (not shown due to its location on the yin side) and Yuji (1564, location only) of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian; Yangchi (1556) of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian; Yangxi (1550) of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian; Shenmen (not shown due to its location on the yin side) of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian; and Yanggu (1566, location only) of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. The opening of the little finger at 1544 can also be slightly extended (like a short extension of 1534 at the wrist) to set the opening corresponding to the Qiangu acupoint of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.

[0146] Because the palm health care device 1530 is made of high-tensile material, although the size of a person's palm varies considerably, only three to five sizes are needed to perfectly meet the needs of most people over the age of six, and the error in acupoint positioning is within an acceptable range. Similarly, because it has many corresponding finger and acupoint openings 1536-1564, the palm body 1532 needs to have sufficient thickness to have sufficient strength and the required shear stress.

[0147] In this embodiment, the health care device 1530 also uses the acupoint working component 1510 from the previous embodiment in conjunction with it. The acupoint working component 1510 is inserted between the palm sleeve body 1532 and the user's palm through the relevant openings 1536-1544 and 1562. As in the previous embodiment, the acupoints on the palm have thin skin and little flesh, so usually only about 0.2 cm of pressure is needed to feel the sensation. If the correct position is pressed, there will be a feeling of soreness, numbness, and pain. Even for a person with a plump figure, it is unlikely that more than 0.5 cm of pressure is required.

[0148] To facilitate the placement of the acupoint working component 1510 between the palm sleeve body 1532 and the palm, and to position the upper connecting part 1514 at each corresponding opening 1546-1560, a handle part 1568 is provided at an appropriate position on the palm sleeve body 1532 (as shown in the figure and at the seam 1562 between the ring finger and the little finger) at an appropriate distance from each corresponding opening, so that the user can apply force to the handle part to facilitate the aforementioned work preparation.

[0149] It goes without saying that, similar to the previous embodiment, the health care device 1530 in this embodiment may also omit the corresponding openings 1546-1560 and the upper connecting part 1514. Due to the strong inward contraction force of the sleeve body 1532, even without the positioning of the relevant openings and the upper connecting part 1514, the working body 1512 is not easy to slip off.

[0150] The following is a summary of an embodiment: A hand health care device includes an acupoint working component with a working end for performing a health care function on an acupoint on one of a user's palms; a working body on which the working end is mounted, allowing the user to align the working end with the acupoint; and a palm sleeve body for holding the acupoint working component at the acupoint, allowing the working end to perform the health care function on the acupoint, and includes a first end with five fingertips opening to allow the five finger roots of the palm to pass through, and a second end allowing the palm part to pass through and fasten to the palm tip or the wrist of the palm part.

[0151] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the hand health care device, the hand sleeve body has a short wrist extension longitudinally provided at the second end.

[0152] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the hand health care device, the palm sleeve body has multiple acupoint openings corresponding to the three Yang meridians and three Yin meridians of the hand on the back and the palm of the hand, respectively.

[0153] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the hand health care device, the working end and the working body can be integrally formed; the acupoint working component can further include a connecting portion located on the opposite side of the working end; the palm sleeve body can have an opening corresponding to the acupoint; the connecting portion and the opening can cooperate to position the working end for performing the health care work; the palm sleeve body can be made of a high-tensile material, such as silicone or latex; and / or the palm sleeve body can extend at least one handle portion, and the handle portion and the position of the palm sleeve body corresponding to the acupoint have a specific distance, so that the user applies force to the handle portion to facilitate the user inserting the acupoint working component into the palm sleeve body.

[0154] Please refer to Figure 20This is the nineteenth embodiment of the health care device 1600 of the present invention, used to care for the acupoints on the soles of a user's feet, and includes a palm sleeve body 1602 and a short ankle extension 1620. The palm sleeve body 1602 is in the form of a palm sleeve and is also made of a high-tensile material such as latex or silicone, and has a contractile ability that can simulate the radial pressure described in paragraph

[0011] . The palm sleeve body 1602 has an ankle opening 1620, a big toe opening 1604, a big toe-secondary toe suture 1606, a primary toe opening 1608, a primary middle toe suture 1610, a middle toe opening 1612, a distal second toe opening 1614, a distal second toe-little toe suture 1616, a little toe opening 1618, and a plurality of corresponding acupoint openings 1622–1672. Because this diagram shows the back of the hand with many acupoints, only the acupoint openings corresponding to the Yang and Yin meridians on the sole of the foot are displayed. The Yin and Yang meridian acupoints include: Neiting (1622), Xiangu (1624), Chongyang (1626), and Jiexi (1628) of the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming; Dadu (1630, location only shown as it is on the side), Taibai (1632, location only shown as it is on the side), Gongsun (1634, location only shown as it is on the side), and Shangqiu (1636) of the Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin; and Tonggu (1638), Shugu (1640), and Jinggu (1642) of the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang. The following acupoints are listed: Shenmai (1644), Pushen (1646), Kunlun (1648, midpoint between the posterior border of the lateral malleolus and the anterior border of the Achilles tendon), Yongquan (on the yin side) of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Rangu (1650), Taixi (1652), Dazhong (1654), Shuiquan (1656, location only shown as it is out of sight), Zhaohai (1658, location only shown as it is out of sight), Xiaxi (1660), Diwuhui (1662), Linqi (1664), and Qiuxu (1666) of the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Xingjian (1668), Taichong (1670), and Zhongfeng (1672) of the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. The purpose of the short extension at the ankle (1620) is to allow the openings of multiple acupoints located near the medial and lateral malleoli to be placed there, such as the Kunlun acupoint (1648) of the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang, and the Taixi acupoint (1652), Dazhong acupoint (1654), Shuiquan acupoint (1656), and Zhaohai acupoint (1658) of the Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin.

[0155] Because the palm health care device 1600 is made of high-tensile material, although the size of a person's foot varies considerably, only three to five sizes are needed to perfectly meet the needs of most people over the age of six, and the error in acupoint positioning is within an acceptable range. Similarly, because it has many corresponding finger and acupoint openings 1604, 1608, 1612, 1614 and 1618, and 1622-1666, the palm body 1602 needs to have sufficient thickness to have sufficient strength and the required shear stress.

[0156] In this embodiment, the health care device 1600 also uses the acupoint working component 1510 from the previous embodiment in conjunction with it. The acupoint working component 1510 is inserted into the palm sleeve body 1602 and the user's foot through the relevant openings 1604, 1608, 1612, 1614, 1618, and 1620. As in the previous embodiment, the acupoints on the palm have thin skin and little flesh, so usually only about 0.2 cm of pressure is needed for a noticeable sensation. If the correct position is pressed, a tingling, numb, or painful sensation will be felt. Even a person with a fuller build should not need to press more than 0.5 cm.

[0157] To facilitate the placement of the acupoint working component 1510 between the palm sleeve body 1602 and the sole of the foot, and to position the upper connecting part 1514 at each corresponding opening 1622-1666, a handle 1672 is provided at an appropriate position on the palm sleeve body 1602 (such as between the big toe and the second toe in the figure) or at an appropriate distance from each corresponding opening, so that the user can apply force to the handle to facilitate the aforementioned work preparation.

[0158] It goes without saying that, similar to the previous embodiment, the health care device 1600 in this embodiment may also omit the corresponding openings 1522-1666 and the upper connecting part 1514. Due to the strong inward shrinkage force of the sleeve body 1602, even without the positioning of the relevant openings and the upper connecting part 1514, the working body 1512 will not easily slip off.

[0159] An example of such an embodiment is described below: A foot health care device includes a foot health care body having an ankle end for allowing one of a user's feet to pass through the end, and a toe end having five toe openings for allowing the five toes of the foot passing through the ankle end to extend out of the five toe openings; and an acupoint working component having a working end for performing a health care work on an acupoint on the sole of the foot, and a working component body having the working end mounted thereon for allowing the user to align the working end with the acupoint to perform the health care work.

[0160] As in the aforementioned embodiments, the health care work may be a pressing action, and the foot body may be made of transparent and / or high-tensile material.

[0161] As in the foot health care device of the aforementioned embodiment, the foot health care body has multiple acupoints corresponding to the three Yang meridians and three Yin meridians of the foot on the instep of one foot.

[0162] As in the foot health care device of the aforementioned embodiment, the heel end has an extended length to facilitate the opening of multiple acupoints corresponding to multiple acupoints located near the medial and lateral malleoli on the foot.

[0163] As in the foot health care device of the aforementioned embodiment, the palm sleeve body further includes a plurality of handles, each of which is located at a position of the palm sleeve body corresponding to an acupoint adjacent to the foot.

[0164] As in the foot health care device of the aforementioned embodiment, the acupoint working component may further include a connecting part located on the opposite side of the working end, the palm sleeve body may have an opening corresponding to the acupoint, and the connecting part may cooperate with the opening to position the working end and perform the health care work.

[0165] Please refer to Figure 21. Another embodiment 1700 of this health care device includes a flexible member or strap 1702, a bottom connector or bottom fastener 1704 attached to the strap 1702 and having a central opening 1705, a lower housing 1706 fastened to the bottom fastener 1704 and having internal threads 1708 and external threads 1710, a lower holding member 1712 with an internal thread 1714, an upper holding member 1716, a working member 1718 having an operating end 1790 and an opposing working end 1770, and a working... The system comprises a degree sensor 1720, a second positioning element 1722, an upper housing 1724 having an upper part 1727 and a lower part 1725, an external thread 1726, a bottom surface 1728 and a receiving space 1735, a circuit board 1730 electrically connected to the degree sensor 1720 for sensing, a lithium battery 1780 disposed on the circuit board 1730, a USB charging socket 1740 disposed on the circuit board 1730 for charging the lithium battery 1780, an upper cover 1750, and a top cover 1755. This assembly has the following shape: Figure 21A As shown in the figure, but the following figure shows that the strap 1760 uses Velcro fastening.

[0166] Back to reference Figure 21 During assembly, the circuit board 1730, lithium battery 1780, and USB socket 1740 are first positioned or placed into the receiving space 1735. Then, the assembly working component 1718, working level sensor 1720, and second positioning component 1722 are sequentially stacked. The upper fastening component 1716 is used to fasten this stacked component to the bottom surface 1728 to form a fastening component. This fastening component is then placed into the lower housing 1706, with the working end 1770 extending downwards. At this time, the lower fastener 1712, from above the fastening assembly, uses the external thread 1710 on the lower housing 1706 and the internal thread 1714 on the lower fastener 1712 to lock the fastening assembly to the lower housing 1706. This is because the diameter of the flange formed by the external thread 1726 on the upper housing (working body) 1724 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the lower fastener 1712, therefore the fastening assembly cannot escape the restraint of the lower fastener 1712 when not in operation. When the outer cover 1750 is placed over or fastened to the fastening assembly, the fastening assembly is thus secured. Figure 21A The appearance of the health care device is as described above. Figure 21A The flexible component 1760 adopts a Velcro self-adhesive method.

[0167] In use, first align the center of the bottom fastener 1704 or the central opening 1705 with an acupoint, and tighten the strap 1702 to the appropriate body part, ensuring the acupoint and bottom fastener 1704 are concentric. When the outer cover 1750 (along with the upper housing 1724) is rotated, the working end 1770 (with a tip 1772) moves downwards. The working mode of the working end 1770 can be various, as described in paragraph

[0005] , for example, it can be used to sense pressure, temperature, or depth using a working level sensor. Figure 21 In this embodiment, we assume that the working level sensor 1720 is a pressure or temperature sensor, and after the circuit board senses its pressure and temperature-related parameter values, it transmits the raw, converted, or calculated signals. The raw value is, for example, the pressure or depth. The converted or calculated signal is, for example, the working intensity (such as irradiation or stimulation intensity) or working efficiency (such as the number of released particles) represented by a certain raw value. It should be noted that, to facilitate the user in aligning the bottom fastener 1704 or the central opening 1705 with a specific area or acupoint, the total height of the bottom fastener 1704 is preferably controlled between 10% and 35% of the total height of the health care device 1700 in its non-operational state.

[0168] The following is an example of an embodiment: a health care device includes: a device body 1706; an acupoint working component having an operating end and a corresponding working end, wherein the working end is used to perform a health care function on a specific part of a user's body or an acupoint; a working body 1724 connected to the device body, with the operating end mounted on its lower part, allowing the user to maintain a specific working relationship between the working end and the specific part or acupoint by operating the operating end or the working body; and a device positioning component (such as a flexible component) connected to the device body, used to position the device body on the body part, so that the working end and the specific part or acupoint maintain a specific positional relationship.

[0169] As described in the aforementioned embodiments of the health care device, the device body has a bottom fastener, and a lower housing has a central opening to allow the working end to pass through and be fastened to the bottom fastener; and / or the working body has an upper housing, fastened to the device body, so that when the working end maintains the specific working relationship with the acupoint, the acupoint working component performs the health care work on the acupoint. The so-called specific working relationship is, for example, pressure, heat radiation, electrical or light stimulation, as described in paragraph

[0005] of this specification. The so-called specific positional relationship usually represents the intensity of the health care work, or the degree to which the working end or its tip approaches or contacts a specific part or acupoint of the body, or the positional relationship between them.

[0170] The health care device as described in the preceding embodiments further includes: a bottom fastener attached (e.g., sewn) to the flexible member; a lower housing fastened (e.g., by a snap-fit) to the bottom fastener and having an external thread; and a lower holding member having an internal thread for screwing into the external thread, wherein the lower holding member has a minimum inner diameter, the working body has a characteristic maximum outer diameter, and the minimum inner diameter is smaller than the characteristic maximum outer diameter; and / or a working degree sensor, a circuit board electrically connected to the working degree sensor, a lithium battery electrically connected to the circuit board, a USB charging socket electrically connected to the circuit board, an upper housing for accommodating the circuit board, the lithium battery and the USB socket, a second positioning member (e.g., a soft pad) for assisting in positioning the working degree sensor, and an upper holding member fastening (e.g., by a snap-fit) the acupoint working member, the working degree sensor and the second positioning member to the bottom of the upper housing, and causing the working end to extend downward.

[0171] To facilitate understanding that the working mode of the present invention described in paragraph

[0110] can be any of the various methods described in paragraph

[0005] , we will again use moxibustion as an example to illustrate the practical application of the present invention. It is found that the traditional Chinese moxibustion material—Artemisia argyi—contains volatile oils, flavonoids, tannins, polysaccharides, and trace elements (iron, calcium, phosphorus), which can achieve special effects. However, it must be performed by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner or nurse to avoid burns, thus having its inconveniences. Furthermore, infrared radiation, since its discovery in 1800 by scientist William Herschel using a prism to explore the spectral thermal effect, has been widely used in related medical or rehabilitation applications. It can be further divided into near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared radiation according to wavelength, and the wavelengths emitted by infrared medical instruments are all within the far-infrared range. Far-infrared rays can produce a warming effect on living organisms, promote blood circulation, improve poor microvascular circulation, and promote tissue growth and regeneration. Therefore, far-infrared rays can not only promote the growth and development of organisms, but also be used as an adjunct therapy tool, such as relieving pain or healing wounds, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, healing diabetic foot ulcers, treating hypertension, and relieving mental stress. Recent academic research has also pointed out that far-infrared rays with wavelengths of 4-14μm are reproductive rays, and tourmaline, also known as tourmaline gemstone, is a natural mineral that can continuously release far-infrared rays and negative ions. It has been pointed out that the magnesioferrite crystals in the structure of tourmaline are the key mineral for emitting far-infrared rays, and materials that emit far-infrared rays from natural minerals already exist. Even if such materials exist, the inconveniences they face in use are no different from those of traditional acupuncture or moxibustion.

[0172] Further examination revealed that the human body is 70% water, and blood is 80% water. Furthermore, one of the resonance wavelengths of water is 6.27µm, while the infrared range is broad (0.78-1000µm), only the 4-14µm range of vital light waves encompasses the resonance wavelength of water, thus triggering water molecule resonance and breaking down large water molecule clusters into smaller ones, making them easier for the body to absorb. Further investigation showed that the human body is composed of carbohydrates, and the resonance wavelengths of CH, CC, and CO bonds all fall within the vital light wave range. Therefore, the 4-14µm wavelength can penetrate deep into microvessels through molecular resonance, accelerating blood flow. Based on this introduction, both moxibustion and far-infrared radiation are desirable, but to achieve low-cost and convenient use, this invention is clearly essential, as explained below.

[0173] Please see Figure 22 This is the first embodiment 1800 of the acupoint working component in the twenty-second embodiment of the health care device, which has a working front end 1802. The acupoint working component 1800 is molded from a material that is synthesized from natural minerals as described in paragraph

[0112] and can emit far-infrared rays. By replacing the acupoint working component in Figure 21 with the acupoint working component 1800, far-infrared care can obviously be performed easily and at low cost. Please refer back to the previous section. Figure 21 In this embodiment, we can determine the depth to which the male thread 1726 can be locked by the thread depth of the internal thread 1708, and determine the distance between the working front end 1802 and the corresponding acupoint or the skin surface we want to care for, and adjust or set the relevant working parameters based on this distance.

[0174] Please see Figure 22A This is the second embodiment 1810 of the acupoint working component in the twenty-second embodiment of the health care device. We can open a plurality of longitudinal grooves 1814 on the body 1812 of the acupoint working component. This not only saves far-infrared emitting material, but also allows for the insertion of mugwort through the multiple longitudinal grooves, aiming to achieve the combined effect of both. Please refer to... Figure 22B This is the third embodiment 1820 of the acupoint working component in the twenty-second embodiment of the health care device. In this embodiment, the acupoint working component body 1822 is a ring of four corner pillars, each corner pillar having a groove 1824 at its end. These four grooves 1824 hold a far-infrared emitting disc 1826, which serves as the working end. The disc 1826 has multiple openings 1828, allowing for the placement of mugwort and enabling the essence of burning mugwort to penetrate the skin, similar to the effect desired in traditional moxibustion.

[0175] It is understood that the highest temperature that human skin can tolerate without harm is 45 degrees Celsius. At 53 degrees Celsius, a burn is likely to occur within one minute. Burning mugwort, when in contact with the skin, will inevitably cause burns, which is one reason why acupuncture is more popular than moxibustion. Furthermore, by using the circuit board 1730 and precisely controlling the working distance between the working tip 1802 and the skin of the body part, we can not only avoid contact burns but also increase the working temperature of the disc 1826 by maintaining this working distance. The higher the temperature, the more far-infrared rays the disc 1826 will release, thus increasing its therapeutic effect. Of course, in this embodiment, the structure may differ from the aforementioned example, such as... Figure 23 As shown, this is the twenty-third embodiment 1900 of the health care device, which includes a working body 1910 with an external thread 1912, a working part 1920, which holds a far-infrared disc 1930 at its end, a single-sided or paired device positioning part 1940, a circuit board 1960, a heating device 1962, a heating controller 1965, an annular connector 1980 with an internal thread 1982, and a heating degree display panel 1970. Each device positioning part 1940 has a first end 1942 connected to the connector 1980, and is connected to the working body 1910 through the screw connection between the internal thread 1982 and the external thread 1912 of the connector 1980, and a second end 1944 connected to a limb holding spring 1950. The horizontal plane of the holding spring 1950 in contact with the limb skin is L1, and the horizontal plane of the bottom end of the working part 1920 is L2. We can easily control the distance between L1 and L2, for example, to 2mm or 1cm, and define the working state of workpiece 1920. Since so many embodiments have been described, further details would be redundant, so we will stop here.

[0176] It is worth mentioning that, Figure 23 In the example, since workpiece 1920 only needs to be fastened to work body 1910 (equivalent to...) Figure 21 The working body or upper shell 1724), therefore Figure 21 The device body, which is represented by the lower housing 1706, can be omitted. From another perspective, the device body and the working body 1910 can be considered as integrally formed.

[0177] Please see Figure 24 This is the twenty-fourth embodiment 2000 of the health care device, and Figure 24AA cross-sectional view is provided to facilitate a quick understanding of its structure. This structure assumes a two-stage working depth as the ideal mode of practice for this invention, and its principle is applicable to both skin-contact and non-contact applications (with only slight modifications to the structure of the bottom connector). Non-contact applications, for example, involve adjusting the distance between the working tip and the skin; contact applications, for example, involve adjusting the pressure depth or pressure of the working tip on the skin. Specifically, the healthcare device includes a flexible element or device positioning element 2005, a bottom connector or bottom fastener 2010 attached to the flexible element 2005, a housing 2015 fastened to the bottom fastener 2010 and having internal threads 2016 and external threads 2017, a holding element 2020 with an internal thread 2021, a first positioning element 2025, a working element 2030 with a working end 2031, an initial operating medium 2035, and an initial working end. The propulsion medium 2040 has an internal thread 2041 and an external thread 2042, and is fastened to the initial operating medium 2035. Its external thread 2042 is screwed into the internal thread 2016 to determine the initial working horizontal position of the working end 2031, an upper cover 2050, and the primary working end propulsion medium 2045. Its external thread 2046 is screwed into the internal thread 2041, and passes upward through the initial operating medium 2035 to fasten to the upper cover 2050.

[0178] During assembly, first, screw the secondary working end propulsion medium 2045 onto the primary working end propulsion medium 2040 to the maximum extent. Then, use the first positioning member 2025 to position the working part 2030 at the bottom of the secondary working end propulsion medium 2045. Next, position or place this assembly into the receiving space of the housing 2015, ensuring a basic screw connection between the external thread 2042 and the internal thread 2016. Finally, use the internal thread 2021 of the retaining member 2020 to screw onto the external thread 2017 to secure the assembly to the housing 2015, preventing it from coming loose. Then, secure the primary operating medium 2035 to the primary working end propulsion medium 2040 and the top cover 2050 to the secondary working end propulsion medium 2045, thus assembling the main body of the health care device 2000. Finally, secure this main body to the bottom fastener 2010, and it is ready to operate. The various fastening mechanisms mentioned here have many implementation methods, which can be easily understood by those familiar with this art, so they will not be described in detail. It is worth mentioning that the upper cover 2050 constitutes the working medium for the secondary working end propulsion medium 2045.

[0179] In use, first align the center of the bottom connector or bottom fastener 2010 with an acupoint, and tighten the device positioning piece 2005 onto the appropriate body part, ensuring the acupoint and bottom fastener 1704 are concentric. When the initial operation medium 2035 (along with the initial working end propulsion medium 2040) is activated, the working end 2031 will move downwards. The working mode of the working end 1770 can be various, as described in paragraph

[0005] , for example, it can be used to sense pressure, temperature, or depth using a working level sensor. After the initial stroke of the working end 2031 has ended, if the top cover 2050 (along with the secondary working end propulsion medium 2045) is activated, the working end 2031 will begin its second stroke.

[0180] The distinguishing features of this embodiment are summarized as follows: the device body has an internal thread; and / or the working body has an operating element and a working element propulsion medium that is engaged with it.

[0181] In this embodiment, it is known that the device body has an internal thread and an external thread; and / or the working body has a primary working part propulsion medium and a secondary working part propulsion medium, and the secondary working part propulsion medium is installed in the primary working part propulsion medium.

[0182] The above embodiment may further include a bottom fastener attached to the device positioning member, and the device body fastened to the bottom fastener; and / or a fastening member connected to the device body to fasten the working body to the device body.

[0183] The health care device of the above embodiment may further include: a first positioning member for positioning the working part at the bottom of one of the secondary working part propulsion media; and / or a primary and secondary operating media for operating the primary and secondary working end propulsion media respectively, and thereby determining the primary and secondary working horizontal positions of one of the working parts. As shown in the figure, the secondary operating media may be played by the upper cover 2050, while the primary working end propulsion media passes upward through the primary operating media 2035 and is fastened to the upper cover 2050.

[0184] The core spirit of all the above embodiments is summarized as follows: A health care device includes a working component having an operating end and an opposing working end, wherein the working end is used to perform a health care function on a specific part of a user's body or an acupoint, wherein the working end has a tip and the body part has a skin surface; a working body having the operating end mounted on its lower part, allowing the user to maintain a specific working relationship between the working end and the specific part or the acupoint by directly operating the operating end or the working body; and a device positioning component connected to the working body, allowing the user to position the working body on the body part, thereby maintaining a specific positional relationship between the working end and the specific part or the acupoint.

[0185] As in the aforementioned core embodiment of the health care device, the working end or tip directly maintains the specific working relationship with the specific body part or the acupoint; and / or the means adopted for the health care work is selected from one of the following groups: electrical stimulation, light stimulation, thermal stimulation, non-invasive or non-contact acupoint stimulation mode, microwave stimulation, magnetic stimulation, acupuncture, moxibustion or any combination thereof; and / or the device positioning member is a flexible member wrapped around the body part, or a mechanism fixed to the body part.

[0186] While the possible implementations of the embodiments described above have not been exhaustively listed, there are many points of mutual reference or substitution among the embodiments. Therefore, this embodiment is very likely to serve as a reference or alternative to other embodiments. For example, Figure 16 For reference, please refer to the through grooves 406 / 408 and the interlocking media 398 / 400 (402 / 404). Figure 4 The tethering medium 52 / 56 or Figure 6 The connection to the media outlet 110 has led to various speculations. Since this case is already quite lengthy, it will not be detailed here to save the effort of all parties.

[0187] In conclusion, the implementation method of this case may be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art, but all of them shall not be outside the scope defined by the appended claims and shall fall under the protection sought by the applicant.
