Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a circular skin needle used in acupuncture treatment, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] One type of needle used in acupuncture treatment is the circular skin needle. The circular skin needle is a sticker with a short needle in the center, which is applied to stimulate a specific point on the body, such as an acupuncture point, to relieve pain or physical discomfort. The circular skin needle is also called a placement needle or a sticker needle, and is used not only for medical purposes but also for cosmetic purposes.

[0003] In the case of circular needles, a type in which the needle body of a short needle is fixed to an adhesive seal is known (JP Patent Publication 2000-51315). In this circular needle, a resin material is injected into the adhesive seal, and the needle body and the adhesive seal are fixed so as to cover the base end side of the needle body. However, in such a circular needle, the adhesive seal is simply fixed to the needle body, and it is not very fashionable.

[0004] Also, circular needles with decorations are known (Utility Model Registration No. 3092500). In these circular needles, decorations such as crystal glass are glued and fixed to the needle body. The original purpose of circular needles, such as treatment, has been achieved, and they have also become more fashionable.

[0005] However, the manufacturing cost of a circular needle with such a decoration is high, and it may become expensive. Also, during treatment, it may be difficult to hold the circular needle properly due to the unevenness of the decoration, and it may not be possible to insert it into the desired place.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-51315 A [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3092500 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a circular skin needle that has low manufacturing costs, looks good and is highly fashionable, and is easy to operate during treatment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The circular skin needle of the present invention, made to solve the above problems, is a circular skin needle having a needle body, an adhesive sheet having an adhesive part and fixed to the needle body, and a release sheet attached to the adhesive part of the adhesive sheet and capable of being peeled off, wherein the release sheet has a protruding part that protrudes beyond the adhesive sheet, and the protruding part is at least one of the surfaces divided by a score line provided in the release sheet, and is colored.

[0009] In this case, when using the circular needle, the protruding part of the release sheet is not peeled off from the adhesive sheet, and the colored protruding part makes the circular needle look good and fashionable. Also, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs by simply coloring the release sheet. Also, when using the circular needle, the protruding part can be grasped and attached to the human body, making it easy to use.

[0010] It is also preferred that the protruding portion of the release sheet is fan-shaped, so that the protruding portion that is not peeled off from the adhesive sheet during treatment has a scaly shape, which is more fashionable.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferable that the adhesive sheet is double-layered and the needle is sandwiched between the double adhesive sheets. This makes the needle look better because the needle is covered with the adhesive sheet and the fixed part between the adhesive sheet and the needle is hidden. Also, there is little risk of the needle coming off the adhesive sheet.

[0012] In the case of the circular needle, it is preferable that the adhesive sheet is circular in shape, so that the adhesive sheet has no corners and the circular needle is less likely to come off from the human body.

[0013] It is also preferable that the needle has a base attached to the release sheet at the portion other than the protruding portion, and the base is provided with a through hole for protecting the needle tip of the needle body. This makes it possible to protect the needle tip of the needle body when storing the circular skin needle.

[0014] It is also preferable that a notch is provided at the location of the base where the protruding portion of the release sheet comes into contact, so that the protruding portion can be easily grasped during treatment and removed from the release sheet.

[0015] In the above description, "the surface divided by the score line" means the surface of the part of the release sheet divided by the score line that faces the adhesive sheet. Effect of the Invention

[0016] As described above, the circular skin needle of the present invention does not require high manufacturing costs, looks good and is fashionable, and is easy to operate during treatment. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] 2 is a schematic plan view of the circular skin needle of FIG. 1 peeled off from a portion of the release sheet. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of a circular skin needle according to a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of multiple circular skin needles of FIG. 3 arranged. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

[0019] [First embodiment] <Circular skin needle 1> The circular skin needle 1 shown in Fig. 1 has a needle body 2, an adhesive sheet 5, and a release sheet 6. The needle body 2 and the adhesive sheet 5 are fixed, and the release sheet 6 is attached to the adhesive sheet 5 in a removable state. During treatment, the needle body 2 is inserted into the acupuncture points of the human body so as to stimulate them, and the adhesive sheet 5 is attached to the skin of the human body.

[0020] <Needle body 2> The needle body 2 is ring-shaped, the needle rod 3 extends from the center of the ring, and the needle tip 4 is L-shaped from the needle rod 3, that is, the needle tip 4 is oriented perpendicular to the ring. The needle body 2 can be made of stainless steel, although it is not particularly limited. The ring diameter of the needle body 2 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1.5 mm or more and 4 mm or less. In addition, although it is not particularly limited, the thickness of the needle tip 4 of the needle body 2 is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 0.3 mm or less, and the length of the needle tip 4 is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 1.8 mm or less.

[0021] <Adhesive sheet 5> The adhesive sheet 5 has an adhesive portion. The adhesive portion is provided on one side of the adhesive sheet 5, and is attached to the skin of the human body during treatment. The adhesive sheet 5 is circular, and although not particularly limited, the diameter is preferably 1 cm or more and 2 cm or less.

[0022] The needle body 2 is fixed near the center of the adhesive sheet 5. The fixing method is not particularly limited, but the needle body 2 can be fixed with a seal. The needle body 2 can be fixed by sandwiching it between the adhesive sheet 5 and the seal.

[0023] <Release sheet 6> The release sheet 6 is removably attached to the adhesive portion of the adhesive sheet 5. The release sheet 6 is divided into two surfaces by a cut line 7. The release sheet 6 further includes a protruding portion 8 that protrudes beyond the adhesive sheet 5, and the protruding portion 8 is one of the surfaces divided by the cut line 7.

[0024] The cut line 7 in the release sheet 6 is a line along which the release sheet 6 is divided into two when the adhesive sheet 5 is peeled off from the release sheet 6 during treatment. During treatment, the protruding portion 8 is grasped by the practitioner, and the other surface to be divided, which is not the protruding portion 8, is peeled off from the adhesive sheet 5. Therefore, the protruding portion 8 remains attached to the adhesive sheet 5.

[0025] The protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 is colored. It can be colored in blue, yellow, pink, or black, but is not limited to this. The color may also be changed depending on the size of the needle body 2. This allows the practitioner to easily check which part of the needle body 2 has been inserted and what size of needle body 2 has been inserted, based on the color of the protruding portion 6, allowing for a safe and smooth treatment. The coloring method is not limited to this, but colored paper may be used as the base material of the release sheet 6, or a release sheet printed on it may be used.

[0026] Further, protruding portion 8 of release sheet 6 is fan-shaped. The protruding width of protruding portion 8 from adhesive sheet 5 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3 mm or more and 6 mm or less.

[0027] <How to use the circular skin needle 1> As described above, in performing a treatment with circular skin needle 1, the practitioner grasps protruding portion 8 of release sheet 6 and peels off the other divided surface that is not protruding portion 8 from adhesive sheet 5. Meanwhile, protruding portion 8 of release sheet 6 remains attached to adhesive sheet 5, and when inserting the needle body into an acupuncture point or the like on the human body, protruding portion 8 of release sheet 6 is grasped and circular skin needle 1 is attached to the skin of the human body without being peeled off from adhesive sheet 5.

[0028] <Advantages> The circular skin needle 1 (see FIG. 3) attached to the skin of the human body has a colored protruding portion 8 protruding from the adhesive sheet, so the circular skin needle 1 looks good and is highly fashionable. In addition, the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 is fan-shaped, so it has a scale-like shape and is more fashionable. Furthermore, since the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 is only colored, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the protruding portion 8 can be grasped and inserted during treatment, it is easy to operate and can be performed safely. Furthermore, since the adhesive sheet 5 is circular and has no corners, there is little risk of the adhesive sheet coming off the human body.

[0029] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the circular skin needle 11 will be described. In the description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals will be used for components having the same configuration as those in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions thereof may be omitted.

[0030] <Circular skin needle 11> The circular skin needle 11 shown in Fig. 3 has a needle body 2, a first adhesive sheet 12, a second adhesive sheet 13, a release sheet 6, and a base 14. The first adhesive sheet 12 and the second adhesive sheet 13 overlap each other, forming a double adhesive sheet. During treatment, the needle body 2 is inserted into the human body so as to stimulate acupuncture points, etc., and the first adhesive sheet 12 is attached to the skin of the human body.

[0031] <First adhesive sheet 12> The first adhesive sheet 12 has an adhesive portion. The adhesive portion is provided on one side of the first adhesive sheet 12, and is attached to the skin of the human body during treatment. A release sheet 6 is removably attached to the adhesive portion of the first adhesive sheet 12. The first adhesive sheet 12 is circular, and although not particularly limited, the diameter is preferably 1 cm or more and 2 cm or less.

[0032] <Second adhesive sheet 13> The second adhesive sheet 13 has an adhesive part. The adhesive part is provided on one side of the second adhesive sheet 13 and is attached to the side of the first adhesive sheet 12 that does not have an adhesive part. The needle body 2 is sandwiched between the first adhesive sheet 12 and the second adhesive sheet 13. As a result, the needle body 2 is fixed by the first adhesive sheet 12 and the second adhesive sheet 13. The needle tip 4 of the needle body 2 is stuck in the adhesive sheet 12, and the ring-shaped part of the needle body 2 is disposed on the second adhesive sheet 13 side. The second adhesive sheet 13 is circular, and although not particularly limited, the diameter is preferably 1 cm or more and 2 cm or less, and is preferably the same size as the first adhesive sheet 12.

[0033] <Pedestal 14> The base 14 is attached to the release sheet 6. The base 14 is attached to the side opposite to the side to which the first adhesive sheet 12 is attached, and is adhered to another divided surface of the release sheet 6 that is not the protruding portion 8, and is not adhered to the protruding portion 8. The base 14 is made of polyethylene, although it is not particularly limited. In addition, the thickness of the base 14 is preferably a thickness that protects the needle tip 4, and is preferably 2 mm or more, although it is not particularly limited.

[0034] The base 14 is provided with a through hole 15 for protecting the needle tip 4 of the needle body 2. The through hole 15 of the base 14 is provided at a predetermined position with a size that can protect the needle tip 4. The diameter of the through hole of the base 14 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less.

[0035] The base 14 has a cutout 16 at a portion where the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 comes into contact. The cutout 16 is provided so that the base 14 does not get in the way when the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 is grasped during treatment. The size of the cutout may be such that the protruding portion 8 can be grasped. The shape of the cutout is not particularly limited, but a semicircular shape can be used. In this case, the size of the cutout is preferably 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less in radius.

[0036] <How to use the circular skin needle 11> In the circular skin needle 11, as described above, during treatment, the practitioner grasps the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 and peels off the other surface divided by the cut line 7, which is not the protruding portion 8, from the first adhesive sheet 12. At this time, since the base 14 is attached to the part of the release sheet 6 that is not the protruding portion, it can be stably and smoothly peeled off from the release sheet 6. In addition, the notch 16 of the base 14 makes it easy to grasp only the protruding portion 8. Meanwhile, the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 remains attached to the first adhesive sheet 12, and when the needle body 2 is inserted into an acupuncture point or the like on the human body, the practitioner grasps the protruding portion 8 of the release sheet 6 and attaches the circular skin needle 11 to the skin of the human body without peeling it off from the first adhesive sheet 12.

[0037] <Advantages> In the case of the circular needle 11, the needle body 2 is sandwiched between the first adhesive sheet 12 and the second adhesive sheet 13, so that the needle body 2 is covered with the second adhesive sheet 13 on the surface of the circular needle 11. Therefore, the surface of the circular needle 11, that is, the surface of the second adhesive sheet 13 that is not the needle tip side, is unified with the color of the adhesive sheet, and unlike the case where a resin material or the like is used for fixing the needle body, it is unified with the color of the second adhesive sheet, and looks good without any shading. In addition, the base 14 attached to the part other than the protruding part 8 of the release sheet 6 is provided with a through hole 15 to protect the needle tip 4 of the needle body 2, so that the needle tip 4 of the needle body 2 is not damaged or contaminated. Furthermore. Since a notch 16 is provided at the place where the protruding part 8 of the release sheet 6 contacts the base 14, the protruding part 8 of the release sheet 6 can be easily grasped and smoothly removed from the release sheet 6.

[0038] [Other embodiments] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the design can be appropriately modified within the intended scope of the present invention.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the shape of the adhesive sheet is described as being circular, but it is not limited to being circular, and various shapes such as triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, and other polygonal shapes can be adopted. This allows the circular skin needles to be of various shapes, improving fashionability.

[0040] In addition, although the shape of the protruding portion of the release sheet has been described as being fan-shaped, it is not limited to being fan-shaped, and any shape that protrudes from the adhesive sheet and can be gripped can be used, such as a polygon or other shape. Furthermore, although the coloring of the protruding portion has been described as being blue, yellow, pink, or black, it is not limited to these colors and can be colored in various colors. This improves the fashionability of the product.

[0041] The method of fixing the needle body to the adhesive sheet is not limited to the above, and any known method such as fixing with a resin material can be used.

[0042] Furthermore, although the needle body has been described as being ring-shaped, this is not limited thereto and it may be shaped like a thumbtack. Also, although the needle body has been described as being made of stainless steel, this is not limited thereto and it may be made of ceramic, resin, or the like.

[0043] In addition, in the circular skin needle of the present invention, the surface divided by the cut line of the release sheet is not limited to two surfaces, but may be changed depending on the location and number of the cut lines.

[0044] In addition, although it has been described that the protruding portion of the adhesive sheet is colored, the entire surface of the adhesive sheet may be colored in addition to the protruding portion, which makes it easier to color the adhesive sheet.

[0045] Furthermore, in the case of the circular needle of the present invention, a configuration can be adopted in which multiple circular needles are arranged on the same base as shown in Figure 4. This allows the adhesive sheet to be removed from the base more stably and smoothly because the base portion is large. In addition, multiple circular needles can be manufactured at the same time, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and reduces manufacturing costs. [Industrial Applicability]

[0046] As described above, the circular skin needle of the present invention can enhance fashionability without incurring high manufacturing costs, and is easy to operate, making it ideal for use in treatment of patients who are aesthetically concerned. [Explanation of symbols]
