发明名称 Modular applicator for use in reflexotherapy
摘要 The invention may be used at medical and athletic institutions, as well as under home conditions for reflexotherapy. The modular applicator comprises a base member and modules fastened thereon, each module having a base member with at least one needle perpendicular to the head member. The novel feature of the applicator consists in that the modules are made metallic, each of them being provided with at least one fastening member made integrally with the module head member and bent therefrom in the same or in opposite direction with the needle or needles, each fastening member or each fastening member together with each needle being passed through the applicator base member, and each fastening member being bent away to the surface of said base member. The invention provides several geometrical shapes of modules and several embodiments of fastening members and needles. For example, fastening members may be provided as a set of circumferentially disposed lobes made by drawing with a conical punch; fastening members and needles may be provided as triangular dents cut away in the body of the head member and bent away therefrom; the module may be provided as a triangle, rhomb, or elongated hexagon with two acute-angled apices, and needles and/or fastening members may be shaped as triangular dents formed by acute-angled apices thereof, bent away from the head member etc. Each module may be also composed of two semimodules disposed one above another on opposite surfaces of the applicator base member and fastened together, one semimodule being provided with needles, and the other, with fastening members in the form of triangular dents made integrally with semimodule head members, disposed in the spaced relationship between said head members and bent away therefrom, at least dents of one semimodule being passed through the applicator base member and through gaps between the dents of the second semimodule and bent away to the surface thereof. The invention provides the possibility of making modules with the use of a cheaper method, i.e. by stamping; it eliminates the need for separate means, i.e. fastening members, provides a strong brace of needles and fastening members with and module head members, and eliminates their breaking away, permits to make modules less massive, and needles thinner and sharper, provides a more provides a more comfort perception of needles action by users; simplifies the technology of modules fastening on the applicator base member, and permits to mechanize this process; it also causes the possibility of making modules from various metals and applying various firm coatings of various materials to the modules.
