DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the first preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an press needles with an alignment structure, the alignment structure comprising a conductor 10 and multiple needles 20.
[0025] The conductor 10 has two opposite ends, and the material of the conductor 10 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel. The conductor 10 is formed as a sheet, and comprises an acupuncture area 11 and a holding area 12. The acupuncture area 11 is located at one of the two opposite ends of the conductor 10; the holding area 12 is located at the other end of the conductor 10.
[0026] The multiple needles 20 are five needles 20 sequentially aligned at a side of the conductor 10. The conductor 10 has two opposite surfaces, and an axial direction of each of the needles 20 is perpendicular to one of the two opposite surfaces of the conductor 10. As shown in FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment, an axial direction of each of the needles 20 is perpendicular to an axial direction of the conductor 10, and the axial direction of each of the needles 20 and one of the two opposite surfaces of the conductor 20 are at the same plane.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, when the present invention is in use, the holding area 12 is held by a user's hand so the acupoints are easily acupunctured by the needles 20 of the acupuncture area 11. The needles 20 sequentially aligned are corresponding to adjacent acupoints which are aligned as a meridian. As the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention having five needles 20 can acupuncture five ear acupoints at the same time and its speed of acupuncture is faster than that by using the traditional single needle. Besides, the needles 20 sequentially aligned can easily acupuncture the acupoints in such small distances in the ear. Even if the target acupoints are not accurately acupunctured by the needles 20, as long as adjacent acupoints are acupunctured, it still has some auxiliary therapeutic effect because the position of meridian is right, and there is no need to acupuncture again. Therefore, ear acupoints can be easily acupunctured at one time by the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention, and the press needles with an alignment structure is user friendly for use by the patients themselves.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, in a preferred embodiment, the press needles with an alignment structure can be bended to fit the acupoints in the curved structure of the ear, such that the acupoints can be easily acupunctured by the needles 20 of the press needles with an alignment structure.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, in a preferred embodiment, the press needles with an alignment structure further comprises a wire 30 electrically connected to the holding area 12 of the conductor 10. In a preferred embodiment, the wire 30 has a clamp located at an end of the wire, and the holding area 12 of the conductor 10 is clamped by the clamp. For example, the traditional treatment of facial hemiplegia is acupuncturing the face by individual single needles, but the treatment of facial hemiplegia by the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention only needs to acupuncture the ear acupoints. The cheek area meridian of ear acupoints is acupunctured by the acupuncture area 11 of the conductor 10. Besides, the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention can use electro-acupuncture treatment through the wire 30, such that the therapeutic effect will be greater than acupuncture only. Furthermore, each of the holding areas 12 of the conductors 10 of two alignment structures of press needles are overlapped at the desired angle, and the target ear acupoints are acupunctured by the needles 20 of the two alignment structures of press needles.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 6, in another preferred embodiment, the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention further comprises a tape 40 attached to one of the two opposite surfaces of the conductor 10. When ear acupoints are acupunctured by the press needles with an alignment structure of the present invention, the tape 40 is further attached to the conductor 10 to enhance the stability of the press needles with an alignment structure on the ear.
[0031] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
