Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a swab with an earpick which facilitates the taking out of ear wax and moreover, eliminate a danger of damaging the inside of an acoustic meatus by safely picking the inner circumferential wall of the acoustic meatus. SOLUTION: In a swab which has a cotton part with cotton mounted at one end part of a shaft body and an ear picking piece at the other end thereof, the earpick piece is made circular and an ear wax housing part is formed in the circular portion. Otherwise, the shaft body 1 is made broad with a rectangular cross section. A larger width of the earpick piece or a substantial height of the ear housing part facilitate and secures the trapping of ear wax.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cotton swab, and more particularly to a cotton swab with an ear swab which can safely scrape the inner peripheral wall of an ear canal, is easy to remove earwax, and has no danger of damaging the inside of the ear canal. It relates to the improvement of the earpiece.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a sanitary product for cleaning an ear hole, a product in which cotton is mainly adhered to one or both ends of a shaft is known. The moisture inside is effectively absorbed by the cotton, but the removal of earwax could not be expected. Therefore, a cotton swab provided with a cotton swab at one end of the shaft and a spatula-shaped or spoon-shaped ear swab at the other end has been proposed.

[0003]

However, in the case of a conventional swab of this type, the tip of the swab is sharp, so that excessive force may be applied to the skin in the ear canal. . In addition, although chunky earwax can be scooped relatively easily, there is a drawback in that ear scraps are dropped on the way when trying to go out of the ear and remain in the ear.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a swab having a cotton portion on which cotton is attached at one end of a shaft body and an earpiece at the other end. In the above, the earwax piece is formed in an annular shape, so that an earwax storage portion is formed in the annular shape.

In the present invention, since the earpick is annular and not sharply pointed, it does not damage the skin or eardrum in the ear canal. In addition, earwax is reliably captured inside the annular shape.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. (1) is a shaft main body, and the shaft main body (1) is formed into a fine shaft shape by an appropriate material made of paper or plastic;
A cotton portion (2) is provided at one end of the shaft body (1), and cotton, which is a fibrous body such as absorbent cotton and chemical fiber, is attached to the cotton portion (2) with an adhesive. At the other end of the shaft body (1),
It has an earpiece (3) made of an appropriate material made of paper or plastic of the same quality as the shaft main body (1). The storage section (4).

When the present invention is used, the cotton portion (2) removes water remaining inside the ear, and the earwax (3) removes earwax.

[0008]

According to the present invention, particularly, the ear piece is replaced with a conventional spoon,
Because it is completely different from a spatula etc. and made into an annular shape,
It has the following effects. Since it is annular, the tip of the earpick is rounded, so that even if it enters the ear, it does not damage the inner wall, mucous membrane, eardrum, etc. of the ear. Since the earwax in the ear is stored in the earwax storage part inside the ring-shaped earpick, it can be reliably scooped and scraped, so it will not fall into the ear or remain in the ear .

[0009]

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
1 is made to have a wide rectangular cross section, so that
By giving the width to 3 and the earwax storage section 14 to have a height, the capture of the earwax is made easy and reliable.
