Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0197831A1] 1. A stimulation device of an acupuncture point including a pressure stimulation member rigidly connected to an element likely to hold the latter pressed on the portion of the body on which is located the acupuncture point under consideration, the central pressure member (4) of this stimulation member being surrounded by a peripheral ridge (9) bearing on the skin, adapted for limiting its driving-in inside the skin, characterized in that its central pressure member (4), adapted for coming to bear on the acupuncture point, is rigidly connected at its periphery to the central area of a resiliently deformable crown (3) of general convex shape such that, under the compression effect of said element (14) and following the driving-in of the central member (4) in the crown (3) as such, it assumes a new annular shape remaining protruding with respect to the pressure surface of said element and forming with its annular top (8) said peripheral ridge surrounding the pressure member.
