DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view of a tongue scraper of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a schematic front view showing a use state of the tongue scraper of the present invention.

A tongue scraping tool 1 according to this embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 integrally connects a flocked portion 4 having a scraping piece 3 and a bristle 6 on a grip portion 2 via a neck portion 5. I have. A flexible portion 7 is formed on the neck portion 5 so as to have elasticity.

The overall shape and size of the tongue scraping tool 1 from the rear end, which is the edge of the grip portion 2, to the tip, which is the edge of the scraping piece 3, is 140 m.
The length is set to m to 170 mm, preferably 150 mm to 160 mm, and the flocking portion 4 is planted in two to three rows, and the length is slightly higher than the height of the scraping piece 3.

[0009] The grip portion 2 is formed to have an uneven shape corresponding to the shape of the five fingers to make it easier to hold and to be rounded.

The neck portion 5 is made of a flexible material, or is formed with thin and thick portions alternately so as to have flexibility. A scraping piece 3 as a tongue scraping tool 1 and a flocked portion 4 are formed through a neck 5. The shape of the tongue scraping tool 1 having the scraping piece 3 and the flocked portion 4 is fan-shaped, the thin scraping piece 3 is formed in the arc portion at the tip, and is parallel to the arc-shaped scraping piece 3. The flocking portion 4 having the flocking thus formed is formed.

That is, when the tongue is pulled from the back to the front, a fan-shaped arc portion having the same width as the substantially entire width in the width direction of the tongue is formed, and a thin blade-shaped scraping piece 3 is formed in the arc portion. To form a flocking portion 4 which is planted in parallel with the outer arc-shaped portion. The scraping piece 3 and the flocked portion 4 are slid so as to scrape off dirt on the tongue surface, and can remove dirt and bacteria that cause bad breath.

The grip portion 2 and the base portion of the flocked portion 4, which are the handles constituting the tongue scraping tool of the present invention, and the scraping piece 3 are made of a material that is light and is not easily deformed or broken easily. Is preferred.

Such materials include, for example, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate,
And polyphenols. Of these, polypropylene is preferred. Also, as a material of the flocking, for example,
There are synthetic fibers such as nylon, natural hair such as pig hair, etc.
Nylon bristles are preferred. In the case of manufacturing a handle, the gripping portion 2, the scraping piece 3, and the base portion of the flocking portion 4 are molded from the above-mentioned polypropylene or the like by a conventional method such as an injection molding method or a compression method, and nylon bristles and the like are transplanted. Thereby, the tongue scraper of the present invention can be manufactured.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the dirt on the tongue surface can be safely and easily removed by forming a scraping piece and a flocked portion on a fan-shaped arc portion optimal for the shape of the tongue based on the above configuration. Can be.
