PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interdigital acupressure device capable of applying finger pressure on interdigital acupuncture points in the same way as that of an acupressure therapist.SOLUTION: Each pair of acupressure bars are arranged to hold an interdigital area between the bars in an interdigital acupressure device for stimulating the interdigital areas of a patient. The paired acupressure bars are reciprocatively moved in a front and rear direction by power transmitted from drive units. Each drive unit includes: a pair of gears to be rotatably moved in a front and rear direction guide bodies arranged in front of the respective gears mobile bodies supported to perform a linear motion in a front and rear direction with respect to the guide bodies and link bodies where one ends are rotatably journaled on the side surfaces of the gears and the other ends are rotatably journaled on the side surfaces of the mobile bodies positioned in front of the gears. The rotary motions of the respective gears in the front and rear direction are transmitted to the mobile bodies via the link bodies to thereby reciprocatively move the acupressure bars connected to the mobile bodies in the front and rear direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】指圧師と同様に指間穴を指圧することができる指間穴指圧装置を提供する。【解決手段】患者の指間を刺激する指間用指圧装置において、指間を挟むように一対の指圧棒を配置し、対となる指圧棒が駆動ユニットから伝わる動力によって前後方向に往復運動させ、駆動ユニットを、前後方向に回転運動する一対の歯車と、各歯車の前方に配置されたガイド体と、ガイド体に対して前後方向に直線運動できるように支持される移動体と、歯車の側面に一端が回転可能に軸止めされると共に該歯車の前方に位置する移動体の側面に他端が回転可能に軸止めされるリンク体とによって構成し、各歯車の前後方向の回転運動をリンク体を介して移動体に伝達させることで該移動体に連結した指圧棒を前後方向に往復運動させる。【選択図】 図2
