20100114153Snap-Off Diet Aid.TM. tragus clip with single-point removable pressure head - This acupressure clip is designed to apply single-point pressure to the tragus of the ear to achieve either appetite control or a sense of tranquility. The clip has two opposing wing-shaped finger tabs joined by a reverse-compression band with an integral stop. The band applies pressure to the tragus through the single raised nub of the attached desired pressure head. The integral stop acts to prevent the band from passing the yield point of the material. The finger tabs have ridges to prevent slippage. Each of the interchangeable heads has a specifically molded nub located to activate a single acupressure point on the tragus of the ear for either appetite control or to achieve a sense of tranquility. At the end of the lower finger tab is a compression pad with an embossment to ensure proper fit and backing for the single-point pressure to be applied from the opposing head. The upper splayed pad is designed with a locking raised protrusion to secure and ensure proper location of the desired head. The heads lock into the upper splayed pad with a corresponding locator hole to secure the desired head during use.05-06-2010
