Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eye washer mainly used for washing out foreign matters such as pollen and dust that have been noticed and removing unpleasant causes such as a feeling of foreign matters and itching.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an eyewash device in which a large-capacity container containing an eyewash solution for washing eyes and a small cup for eyewash are packaged as a pair is commercially available. In this eyewash, when washing eyes, first, an appropriate amount of eyewash is transferred from the container to an eyewash cup, and the face is face down on the opening surface of the cup, and the cup is opened around the eyes. Close the circumference, keeping this state, that is, with the cup pressed against the eyes, turn the face upside down while turning the face upside down, soak around the eyes with eyewash, In this state, the user blinks several times to wash the eyes.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional eyewash device, after a predetermined amount of the eyewash solution is taken out of the eyewash solution container into the eyewash cup, the eyewash solution is placed on the back so as not to spill the eyewash solution put in the cup. The eyewash cup is pressed around the eyes so that the eyewash does not spill out, and the eyes are washed by blinking, so not only is the operation of the eyewash itself very troublesome, but also the individual Depending on the shape of the face, the eyewash cup does not always fit the face of the eyewasher, and if it does, the eyewash may spill out between the cup and the face, often causing the clothes to get wet or dirty. Had issues.

On the other hand, it is difficult for children such as elementary school students to perform such eyewashing operation itself, and there is a fundamental problem that eyewashing itself cannot be performed due to the above-described liquid leakage phenomenon. Met.

[0005] In particular, in the conventional eye-washing method, the eye-washing operation itself requires a troublesome operation, but the eye-washing is performed by blinking the eyes while lying on the back, and the eyes are washed with the eyes facing upward. Therefore, even if pollen and dust adhering to the eyeball migrate to the outer corner of the eye, they remain at a high rate without being discharged to the outside of the eyes, and cannot eliminate the problem of low eyewashing efficiency. Was.

Further, in the conventional method, the eyewash is performed using the eyewash cup with the eyewash taken out of the eyewash solution container into the eyewash cup. Therefore, the eyewash cup must always be kept in a clean state and stored. In addition, in order to avoid any danger, shared use of eyewash cups once used by others must be avoided, and there is also a problem that individuals need to use my cups. I had one.

Therefore, the present inventor pays attention to such a problem of the conventional eyewashing apparatus, and does not wash the eyes blinking with the eyes turned upwards, but with the face down and the eyes down. Washing the eyes is extremely easy by spraying the washing liquid upward from the bottom and directly applying it to the eyeballs, and washing the washed liquid into the cup from the bottom side. Even without elementary school children, it is possible to easily wash eyes alone without any scrutiny.Especially, there is no need to keep the cups clean and stored, and the eyes are always washed with a clean washing solution. Now that you have developed an eye washer that can do it, provide it here.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, in the eye washer according to the present invention, a plurality of disposable soft synthetic resin disposable containers A, which are filled with the eye wash liquid 3 and the mouth 1 is sealed with the blind lid 2, And a washing liquid receiving cup B provided with a straw 8 extending downward and connected to a liquid injection hole 7 opened inside the container A. The containers A are cut open when twisted when twisted. A knob portion 5 is formed continuously on the upper surface of the blind lid 2;
The washing liquid receiving cup B has a configuration in which the base of the straw 8 is set to a size that is inserted and fitted substantially tightly with the mouth 1 of the container after the blind lid 2 is removed.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In carrying out this embodiment, a plurality of containers A are connected to each other via a connecting portion 4 which can be separated from each other. It can be implemented by forming it into a thin linear shape that can be separated by bending each other.

In addition, when the disposable container is blow-molded with a synthetic resin, the cleaning liquid is inserted into the container immediately after molding, which is still present in the mold, by inserting an injection needle for filling the cleaning liquid into the container.
By filling the cleaning liquid simultaneously with the formation of the container and subsequently sealing the container opening, it is possible to obtain a sterilized cleaning liquid in the container. At this time, if the container is manufactured as a structure in which a plurality of necessary units or a plurality of necessary units of the container, for example, three or five units are integrally connected, efficient manufacture is possible, and it is convenient for boxed packaging and the like.

When the sealed disposable container A is used, the outer peripheral surface of the body is pressed with a fingertip to apply pressure to the container, and the washing liquid receiving cup 6 is inserted through the straw 8 inserted into the container. It is desirable to use a soft synthetic resin material having elasticity (squeezing property) so that the cleaning liquid is easily ejected from the opening hole 7. In addition, the volume of the container or the volume of the washing liquid filled in the container is preferably set to an amount necessary for one adult or binocular washing for one adult. By doing so, each time the eyes are washed, the eyes can be washed using a new sterile washing solution. In this case, even if the cleaning liquid receiving cup 6 is used by another person, the eyes can be cleaned with a sterile cleaning liquid.

[0012]

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of an eye washer according to the present invention. FIGS. 1 and 2 are views for explaining the method of use, and FIGS. FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a sealed container.

The eye washer shown in this embodiment is filled with a washing liquid 3 for washing the eyes, and its mouth 1
Are formed with a plurality of cylindrical synthetic resin disposable containers A ... sealed with a blind lid 2 and a liquid injection hole 7 for discharging the cleaning liquid 3 inside a horizontally long and oblong cup 6 having an upper surface opening. The upper end portion is connected to the hole 7, and the washing liquid receiving cup B has a straw 8 extending downward from the cup 6.

The container A is a thin synthetic resin-made sealed cylinder having a shape in which the mouth 1 side is narrowed narrowly. A knob 5 having an arbitrary shape is integrally and continuously provided. By twisting the knob 5 in the circumferential direction, the blind lid 2 can be easily cut off from the mouth 1 of the container and opened. Is formed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the containers A shown in this embodiment are provided with a separation line 4a formed in a thin linear shape parallel to the longitudinal direction of the container and which can be easily cut and separated when folded. A plurality of cables are integrally connected in parallel through the connecting portion 4. It is preferable that the number of containers A to be connected is a unit number in case of boxing and packaging for sale because packaging is easy. For example, when the number of pieces to be put in one box is five, it is preferable that the five pieces are integrally connected as shown in FIG. In addition, when 6 pieces are put in one box, the number should be increased or decreased as appropriate according to the selling price and the size of the packaging case, etc. do it. In addition, each container A is formed of a soft synthetic resin material having elasticity (squeeze property) so as to be able to push out the cleaning liquid filled and stored by pressing the outer peripheral surface of the trunk portion during use, so as to be thin. ing. It is preferable to use a well-known blow molding means because mass production is easy.

The size of the container A is determined by the content of the cleaning solution to be filled, and the amount of the solution is set to an amount suitable for a single adult use. In this case, the amount of one time necessary for cleaning one eye and the amount of one time necessary for cleaning both eyes are implemented. For example, the amount required for washing one eye for one adult is only required to be 2-3 cc, and the amount required for washing both eyes is twice as much. However, this amount may be appropriately set, such as 5 cc for one eye and 10 cc for both eyes. However, this container A
It is preferable that the size and the filling amount of the cleaning liquid are set to the amount of a single use required for one-time cleaning. In this case, a fresh and sterile cleaning solution can always be used. In addition, an indicator line 9 indicating a half amount of the cleaning liquid is provided in the container for cleaning both eyes, which is convenient for use.

The opening 6 of the cup 6 for receiving the washing liquid is formed slightly thick and smoothly so that the cup 6 does not cause pain or discomfort when pressed around the eyes during use. The straw 8 connected to the washing liquid receiving cup 6 has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the mouth 1 of the container A. The straws 8 are formed to have substantially the same diameter so that the straw 8 can be easily inserted into the container A and can be brought into close contact with the mouth 1.

The eye washing liquid 3 to be filled in the container A may be a boric acid solution or the like obtained by mixing boric acid in pure water which has been conventionally known. For example, sodium cromoglycate is added to 100 cc of pure water. An aqueous solution mixed with 10 to 30 mg or an aqueous solution mixed with 100 to 300 mg of epsilon-aminocaproic acid and other chemicals in 100 cc of pure water can be used.

In order to use the above eye washer, one of the connected containers A is folded in the circumferential direction, and
From the separation line 4a. Subsequently, when the knob 5 at the upper part of the container is pinched with a fingertip and twisted in the circumferential direction, the blind lid 2 is shredded together with the knob 5 to open the container. The straw 8 of the cleaning liquid receiving cup B is inserted into the container from the opened mouth 1. At this time, it is preferable to push the cup 6 firmly so that the lower surface of the cup 6 reaches the mouth of the container.

After this, the face of the container A is put down with the cup 6 for receiving the washing liquid 3 facing upward, and is put around the eyes to be washed, and the body of the container A is pressed with the other fingertip. Then, the cleaning liquid 3 may be ejected from the ejection hole 7 of the cup 6 and brought into contact with the eyes. In this way, the liquid that has been applied to the eyes and cleaned the eyes falls into the cup 6 together with pollen, dust, and other foreign substances attached to the eyes, is received by the cup 6, and is reliably collected. Therefore, the eye washing operation can be extremely easily performed without fear of soiling the clothes.

FIGS. 5 to 8 show another embodiment of the cup 6 or its liquid injection hole 7, respectively. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the liquid injection hole 7 is An opening is provided at an upper portion away from the bottom by an injection cylinder 7a protruding from the inner bottom surface of the container, so that the cleaning liquid spouting from the hole 7 does not come into contact with the liquid collected in the cup 6 after eye washing. In FIG. 6, a separately formed protector 7b having excellent flexibility is attached to the injection cylinder 7a. 7 shows a configuration in which the liquid injection holes 7 are formed in a horizontally long shape, and FIG. 8 shows a configuration in which three liquid injection holes 7 are arranged side by side. In addition, the liquid injection hole 7
The size of the hole is, for example, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm,
A plurality of replacement parts having a size of 0.2 mm, etc. are formed, and can be appropriately selected and replaced according to the user's senses and eye symptoms, as in the protector 7b shown in FIG. Can also.

Although the representative embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the structure of the above-described embodiment, but has the above-mentioned constituent features, achieves the object, and is described below. Needless to say, the present invention can be carried out with appropriate changes within a range having an effect.
