Abstract
Abstract A nerve ending therapeutical device containing a testing circuit, an oscillating circuit, a handle and a probe. The therapeutical device has a switch on the probe to control the location of a nerve ending first. Then the switch is set to another position, and the therapeutical device sends an electrical signal to attain therapeutical effect. Another switch is also provided for controlling the electrical signal to be either positive, in the "DRAW" mode, or negative in the "SUPPLEMENT" mode.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
235 words
A nerve ending therapeutical device comprising a testing circuit (4), an oscillating circuit (5), a handle (1) and a probe (2), wherein said testing circuit (4) is an audio oscillating circuit which is connected with a speaker (44) and an illuminator (22) such that said speaker (44) and illuminator (22) sound and twinkle respectively when said testing circuit (4) is activated, said testing circuit (4) being connected with a metal part of said handle (1) via a variable resistor (34); a power supply being connected to said oscillating circuit (5) and a normally-closed contact of a switch (21) of said probe (2) separately, a middle contact of said switch (21) (21) being connected to a metal part of said probe (2) in addition to being connected to an output of said testing circuit (4) via said illuminator (22); a normally-open contact of said switch (21) being connected to an output of said oscillating circuit (5); said oscillating circuit (5) including a positive feedback circuit with a variable resistor (35) for adjusting output frequency and a boosting transformer (56), outputs of said transformer (56) being coupled to said handle (1) and said switch (21) of said probe (2) respectively, whereby by means of switching said switch (21) of said probe (2) to said normally closed contact, the location of a nerve ending can be found, and then said switch (21) is set to said normally-open contact.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
235 words
A nerve ending therapeutical device comprising a testing circuit (4), an oscillating circuit (5), a handle (1) and a probe (2), wherein said testing circuit (4) is an audio oscillating circuit which is connected with a speaker (44) and an illuminator (22) such that said speaker (44) and illuminator (22) sound and twinkle respectively when said testing circuit (4) is activated, said testing circuit (4) being connected with a metal part of said handle (1) via a variable resistor (34); a power supply being connected to said oscillating circuit (5) and a normally-closed contact of a switch (21) of said probe (2) separately, a middle contact of said switch (21) (21) being connected to a metal part of said probe (2) in addition to being connected to an output of said testing circuit (4) via said illuminator (22); a normally-open contact of said switch (21) being connected to an output of said oscillating circuit (5); said oscillating circuit (5) including a positive feedback circuit with a variable resistor (35) for adjusting output frequency and a boosting transformer (56), outputs of said transformer (56) being coupled to said handle (1) and said switch (21) of said probe (2) respectively, whereby by means of switching said switch (21) of said probe (2) to said normally closed contact, the location of a nerve ending can be found, and then said switch (21) is set to said normally-open contact.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
An nerve ending therapeutical device of claim 1, wherein said output of said oscillating circuit (5) is in series with a variable resistor (31) thereby enabling an adjustment of an output current.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
An nerve ending therapeutical device of claim 1, wherein said output of said oscillating circuit (5) is shunt with a clamping circuit for controlling a supplementing and a draining function, said clamping circuit being composed of a three contact switch (37) and two diodes (57), (58).
