摘要：An acupuncture device consists of an acupuncture needle and a guide tubehaving a transverse, preferably V-shaped, slot through the tube wall. This slot is formedin the upper part of the guide tube and is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the
tube. The handle of the needle is firmly secured inside the guide tube by a smallelongated stopper made of an elastic material such as plastic or thick paper which isinserted into the V-shaped slot of the guide tube and squeezes the needle handlebetween its end and the inner wall of the tube opposite to the V-shaped slot. As theelastic stopper fits tightly into the V-shaped slot, it supports itself in the needle-securingposition. Although the friction that the stopper creates through its pressure against thehandle is sufficient to secure the needle inside the tube prior to the insertion, this frictionyields to the downward motion of the needle during insertion so that the stopper doesnot present an obstacle for the insertion of the needle. After insertion of the needle, apractitioner pulls the stopper out and removes the guide tube in a conventional manner.
