Abstract
An acupuncture set for double-blind tests includes a support member whose one surface is in contact with skin of a subject and in which a through hole is formed in a vertical direction, a filling member coupled in a through hole of the support member and provided in a pipe shape with one side shielded, a hollow guide member, wherein a portion of a lower part of the hollow guide member is combined to a through hole of the support member and first guide protrusions protrude from an inside of the hollow guide member, and a moving member configured to move in a vertical direction within the guide member in a state of being combined with a needle body.
Claims28
An acupuncture set for double-blind tests, comprising:
- a support member whose one surface is in contact with skin of a subject and in which a through hole is formed in a vertical direction;
- a filling member coupled in the through hole of the support member and provided in a pipe shape with one side shielded;
- a hollow guide member, wherein a portion of a lower part of the hollow guide member is combined to the through hole of the support member and first guide protrusions protrude from an inside of the hollow guide member;
- and
- a moving member configured to move in the vertical direction within the guide member in a state of being combined with a needle body, wherein a portion of the moving member guides a start of acupuncture application by being caught in the first guide protrusions, and the moving member passes through the first guide protrusions during applying acupuncture and is seated on a top of the guide member to guide the needle body to penetrate the filling member and the skin of the subject,
- wherein guide grooves into which the first guide protrusions are inserted are formed on an outside of the moving member, and
- wherein second guide protrusions located below the first guide protrusions protrude from an inner side surface of the guide member, and the moving member is caught in the second guide protrusions during acupuncture application and guides the needle body to be inserted to a predetermined depth of the skin of the subject.

- a moving member configured to move in the vertical direction within the guide member in a state of being combined with a needle body, wherein guide grooves formed a side part of the moving member are caught in the first guide protrusions and guide a start of acupuncture application, and the moving member passes through the first guide protrusions during applying acupuncture and is seated on a top of the guide member to guide the needle body to penetrate the support member and the skin of the subject;
- and
- a current supply part configured to supply a current to a needle body exposed to an outside of the moving member and transmit an electrical stimulation signal to the subject skin,
- wherein second guide protrusions located below the first guide protrusions protrude from an inner side surface of the guide member, and the moving member is caught in the second guide protrusions during acupuncture application and guides the needle body to be inserted to a depth of 3 mm to 10 mm of the skin of the subject.
