NEEDLE ATTACHMENT POINT AT THE BASE OF THE NEEDLE APPLICATOR AND THE NEEDLE APPLICATOR FOR REFLEXOLOGY Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61H39/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to needle applicators for reflexology. Applicator includes an elastic base (1), needles and mounting sockets (4). The elastic base is made with projections (2, 3) symmetrically located on opposite sides of the elastic base. The needles are made in the form of a pointed rod (6) with thickenings. The tips (7) of the needles protrude beyond the elastic base to form the working side of the applicator. Mounting sockets are made in an elastic base along the common axes of symmetrical opposite projections. Mounting sockets have radial extensions (5) along the axes of the mounting sockets. The thickenings (8) made in the middle part of the needles are located in the said extensions. Thickenings (9) made on the shanks of the needles are located on the back of the elastic base. The needles are movably mounted in the sockets with the ability to move the thickenings of the middle part of the needles along the said extensions of the mounting sockets. On the back side of the applicator there are means for adjustable mechanical action on the shanks of the needles.

EFFECT: increases the uniformity of the mechanical action of needles on local areas of the body with protrusions and depressions of large curvature.
