  • Patent number: 12508205
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an acupressure device. The device comprises a pair of arms, each with a first end portion, a second end portion, and an arm portion comprising concave and convex portions. A fulcrum pivotally connects the arms at their convex portions, enabling outward and inward movement. A spring, positioned between the second end portions, maintains the arms in a closed position when relaxed and allows outward movement to an open position when activated. A pressure band encircles the arms to apply inward pressure. The band's position adjusts to increase pressure when fixed over the concave portion, decrease pressure when fixed over the convex portion, or maintain neutral pressure at intermediate positions. The first end portion incorporates a contact pad assembly, and the second end forms a handle for activating the spring. The pressure band is adjustable after placement to regulate consistent therapeutic pressure on a target acupressure point.
