<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acupressure point/affected site pressing ball supporter capable of supporting a ball such as a hard tennis ball with elastic force at a desired position to be pressed on an acupressure point or affected site without too strongly pressing the ball on a user's body, and capable of removing the ball to prevent the ball from being pressed on the user's body for a long time if the user falls asleep while using the supporter. <P>SOLUTION: The supporter 1 is made of elastomer having rubber elasticity. The supporter 1 has a tapered through-hole 2 which becomes narrower downward on the inner peripheral surface 2a, and is configured so that a ball 3 is elastically fitted into the through-hole 2 while projecting upward and downward from the through-hole 2. The supporter 1 is placed on a seated surface 13 of a bed, Futon 8, or chair, and the part of the ball 3 projecting upward from the through-hole 2 is pressed on the acupressure point or affected site A of the user's body. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
