PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep an acupuncture linear by suppressing the acupuncture from bending in an acupuncture tube while inserting the acupuncture even when the acupuncture diameter is made thinner for decreasing the physical burden in an acupuncture holder structure.SOLUTION: A holder body (6) is formed with an acupuncture insertion hole (7) penetrating inside in an axial direction. The acupuncture insertion hole (7) has: an acupuncture insertion guide hole (8) for inserting an acupuncture (1) and an acupuncture holding hole (9) which has a smaller diameter than the acupuncture insertion guide hole (8) to keep the acupuncture (1) linear while the acupuncture (1) is inserted. The holder body (6) is composed by dividing it into a plurality of holding parts (12, 13) which are arc in plane view. A pivot mechanism (14) for connecting an adjacent holding part (12) and the other holding part (13) is attached.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】鍼用保持具構造において、肉体的な負担の軽減を図るために、鍼の直径をより細くした場合でも、鍼の刺入時に鍼が鍼管内で撓むのを抑制して鍼を直線状に保持することにある。【解決手段】保持具本体(6)には、内部で軸方向に貫通する鍼挿通用孔部(7)を形成する。鍼挿通用孔部(7)は、鍼(1)を挿入させる鍼挿入用案内孔(8)と、鍼(1)の刺入時に鍼(1)を直線状に保持するように鍼挿入用案内孔(8)よりも小径の鍼保持用孔(9)とを備える。保持具本体(6)は、平面視で円弧形状の複数の保持部(12・13)に分割して構成される。隣接する一方の保持部(12)と他方の保持部(13)とを連結する枢支機構(14)を設けている。【選択図】図1
