"Portable spray device for cleaning the vagina"

The invention relates to a portable spray device for cleaning the vagina with a bottle-like device Container and a spray cannula attached to it.

If you disregard such known spray devices in which the spray cannula is extendable, prove The usual vagina cleaning devices are unhygienic and uncomfortable to take with you because their cannulas are always protrude outwards, regardless of whether you want to use them or not. The cannulas are therefore with her Storage exposed to environmental influences if it is not covered with a hood or the like. Furthermore, since none of these known conventional cleaning devices closure means for

has the liquid container, the cleaning liquid can only be poured into the container just before use. Accordingly, a warm cleaning liquid must which proves to be particularly useful for cleaning, prepared in advance in a separate boiler will; as a result, users find it too cumbersome to use a warm cleaning liquid and therefore use cold water that is not suitable for cleaning.

The Erfhdung is therefore based on the task of a To create an injection device for cleaning the vagina that can be used when the device is not in use or if you carry it with you, allows the cannula to be arranged within a container of the device and thereby to seal the mouth of the container by a cap so that the already filled with a cleaning liquid Container can be stored or carried away for use.

To solve this problem, according to the invention, in a portable spray device of the type mentioned above it is provided that the end of the spray cannula facing away from its mouth has a flange for attachment to the container, with which the cannula can also be attached to the container is that it protrudes into the container, and that a cap

their arrangement within the container and a connector are provided with which the cannula and the cap can be attached to the container.

The invention offers the advantage of great hygiene, since the cannula when storing the device or when her Transport is protected against germs and dust and by their immersion in the cleaning liquid already filled in the container can be kept sterile. Furthermore, the device, which is kept and sealed in this way, can be kept in the bathtub or so warmed in another hot water bath or by being near some other heating source be that the cleaning liquid in the container and also the cannula, if necessary, to one for the Insertion into the vagina can be brought to the appropriate temperature.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to schematic drawings of two exemplary embodiments. Show it:

1 shows a spray device according to the invention in the assembled state for use in a vertical section through its central axis;

109831/101/4

FIG. 2 shows a corresponding vertical section through the device according to FIG. 1 through the central axis, but in an arrangement in which the container of the device forms a housing for the cannula and the mouth of the container is sealed by a cap;

3 shows a cross section through a for use to-f f sammengesetzte ührungs of the invention, along the center line of the device other out.

FIG. ² I a partial view of a cross section through the cannula and suction tube of the device according to FIG. 3 with the suction tube inserted inside the cannula; FIG. and

Fig. 5 is a bottom view of the embodiment shown in Fig. ² J cannula.

All components of the spray device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 or at least the main body of the container are made of an elastic rubber-like plastic. The main body 1 of the bottle-like container is provided on its neck with a relatively wide mouth 2, along the outer circumference of which an external screw thread 2 ^{1 is} formed. A cannula 3 has a flange A at its base and is provided with axially extending grooves 5 on the outer surface of its other end portion; on the face of the cannula

109831 / 10U

and small holes 6 are formed in the respective grooves for a cleaning liquid to pass therethrough permit. A removable connecting piece 7 is provided with a central opening 8 through which the cannula 3 protrudes can, and it has an outwardly extending plunge 8 ', on which on the inner surface of a pin-like Port set 9 is provided with an internal screw thread which engages with the external screw thread 2 'on the neck or Muzzle section 2 comes. A cap Io is also provided.

In the event that the spray device is kept or is to be carried with you for use, the container 1 is from the outset with a suitable cleaning liquid L filled. The cannula 3 is then immersed in the liquid in the reverse position, the cap Io on the Flange of the cannula 3 placed and the connecting piece 7 mounted over the neck 2 of the container that the container is sealed in the manner shown in FIG. In this way the device according to the invention can be different than the known types kept or carried around in a compact form and without protruding the cannula to the outside while the liquid is kept leak-proof within the container at any angle of inclination of the container. Before using the device, it can be immersed in a hot bath while it is closed or in some other way

109 ^ 8 31/1 0 1 k

warm up until the cleaning liquid L has warmed up to an appropriate temperature. Then the connecting piece 7 is mined from ge η ο to remove the cap Io, and the cannula 3 is turned over so that its upper end protrudes upwards, and passed through the opening 8 of the connecting piece 7. As can be seen in Fig. 1, is then designed as Plansch ¹ I portion of the cannula 3 in tightly sealing contact on the one hand with the end surface of the mouth 2 and the other part with a stepped portion 9 ', which on the inner surface of the sapfenartlgen portion of the Connecting piece 7 and its opening 8 is formed.

The cannula 3 of the cleaning device assembled in this way is inserted into the vagina until the flange 8 of the connecting piece 7 comes into contact with the inner wall of the vagina. Then the main body of the container 1 is squeezed with fingers to inject the cleaning liquid into the vagina from the holes 6 at the end portion of the cannula. When the pressure is released, the main body of the container resumes its original shape due to the high elasticity of its material, and the cleaning fluid previously released into the vagina is consequently drawn back through the holes 6. Accordingly, by repeating such operations, the inside of the vagina is carefully cleaned.

FIGS. 3 and 1 show another embodiment of the device. Here, a suction tube 11 is provided with a splash which, in the assembled state , is brought into contact with the surface of the flange k of the cannula 3 according to the structure described above. A tubular member, which is the main part of the suction tube 11, is dimensioned so that its outer diameter is somewhat narrower than the inner diameter of the cannula-3. If, as shown in FIG. 3, the end of the suction tube 11 protrudes into the container, then the suction tube 11 can be mounted so firmly on the container 1 by means of the connecting piece that the suction block II ^{1 of} the suction tube 11 with the channel 13 of the cannula 3 via the connection communicates between the flanges 12 and k.

If, on the other hand, the device is kept or carried around, the tubular member of the suction tube 11 is inserted into the channel 13 of the cannula 3; The lower surface of the flange 12 comes into contact with the surface of the flange 4 of the needle 3, as can be seen in FIG k.. Then the mouth 2 of the container is closed by a cap in exactly the same way as can be seen in the embodiment according to FIG.

If a cleaning device is not provided with such a suction tube, it becomes increasingly difficult to inject the liquid if the container is steeply inclined, since more and more air gets into the container with increasing consumption of the cleaning liquid; the execution form with suction tube has the advantage that even in such a case all cleaning liquid can be dispensed through the end of the cannula in a substantially upright position, since the open end 11 'of the suction tube 11 is arranged close to the bottom of the container.

After the vagina has been cleaned , the cleaning device used in each case is dismantled according to one of the described embodiments and the cleaning fluid is poured away. The individual components of the device are then each washed. Since all of these parts or at least the main body of the container are made of a highly elastic synthetic rubber, for example a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, the main body of the container can be made of a transparent rubber; This gives you the opportunity to optically identify any dirt residues on the inside of the container

and thus ensure a satisfactory cleaning. the The device thus proves to be extremely hygienic. Also the fact that the mouth 2 of the container is made large enough is promotes this purpose.
