PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To address such a problem that even when moxa combustion ash can be once removed with a bare hand or tissue paper, it is required to exchange moxa 3-5 times on an average, install a new moxa and set a fire thereto, and in such case, each time the moxa is exchanged, a user has to catch and touch a hot acupuncture immediately after the fire goes out, remove the ash and exchange it for a new moxa, while gently and securely holding the hot acupuncture handle.SOLUTION: A cylindrical moxa exchange support device having a ceiling part and an opened bottom part, includes: a common support point at which the device is divided into two, right and left, respectively and opened/closed two arcuate right and left paired ceiling-part acupuncture guiding edges formed from a center of the ceiling part to the outside of the ceiling part and acupuncture clamping parts facing each other on both sides of a central point, on the lower sides of the respective right and left ceiling-part centers.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】 艾の燃焼灰を素手やちり紙等で一度除去できたとしても、平均3~5回の艾交換を必要とするし、新たな艾の設置と艾への点火が必要で、火の消えた直後の熱い鍼を艾交換の都度、捕まえ触れる事と成り、熱い鍼柄を優しく確りと支え持ちつつ、灰を除去し新しい艾を差し替えることが必要となるためである。【解決手段】天井部を有し底部が開放された筒状の器具で、左右其々に二つに分かれ開閉する共通の支点を持ち、天井部中心から天井部外側に二つの弓形状の左右其々、対を成す天井部の鍼誘導縁を備え、左右其々の天井部中心下部に、中心点を境に対峙し合う、鍼挟持部を備える艾交換支援器具で支援できる。【選択図】図1
