This ear canal cleaning tool is also used for cleaning fine parts of precision articles such as OA equipment. For example, a cotton swab is constructed by wrapping a cotton thread or cotton cloth around both ends of a paper-shaped grip. When cotton is used, short fibers (lint or linter) come out as fluff, so use a glue, etc. It is hardened. In addition, the earpick is a stick-shaped grip,
An earpick is provided at one end of the bar-shaped grip, and an earpatch made of cotton is provided at the other end. In this case, the earpick portion is formed by shaving the tip of a bar-shaped grip portion made of, for example, bamboo or wood. In addition, the earwab portion is formed by bundling a straight cotton single yarn by bundling one end into a wavy shape, sandwiching the cut end provided at the end of the rod-shaped grip portion, and fixing with an adhesive and an adhesive tape. It is provided by.

を目的とする。However, at both ends of the swab, since the wound cotton thread or cotton cloth is hardened with a glue, there is a problem that the surface is hardened and the tactile sensation in the ear canal is inferior. In the unlikely event that the paper bar grip is broken, there is also a problem that the end remains in the ear canal. In addition, the conventional swab and earpick as described above are produced because the rod-shaped grip and the earpiece are made of different materials from each other, and in earpick, it takes time to form the earpick by cutting. There is also a problem that the cost is relatively high. Furthermore, the rod-shaped grips that make up the cotton swabs are made of paper and the like, and the bar-shaped grips that make up the earpick are made of bamboo, etc. It is preferable to use Then, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and to provide an ear canal cleaner having an excellent tactile sensation at a lower material cost and a simple process as compared with the conventional ear canal cleaner.

The present invention relates to an ear canal cleaner including an ear pad having at least one end portion swollen. If ears are provided at both ends of the grip, an ear canal cleaner having the same function as a conventional swab can be obtained. If an earpick is provided at the other end of the grip, an ear canal having the same function as the conventional earpick can be obtained. In this case, it is effective to impregnate the tip portion of the bundle with resin or oil and then form the tip portion to form an earpick portion. As described above, in the present invention, since the synthetic fiber crimped yarn which is a long fiber is used, the grip portion and the overwrap portion are formed of one bundle and are continuous. for that reason,
Even if it breaks, the ear pad does not remain in the ear canal.
In addition, since the cuffs of the long fibers are formed by swelling the cotton balls on the cotton balls and do not fluff, there is no need to solidify the surface with a glue, etc. Play.

As shown in FIG. 1, an ear canal cleaner 1 according to the present invention includes a grip portion 2 and an ear portion 3. Each of the grip portion 2 and the ear portion 3 is formed of a crimped yarn made of synthetic fiber. The grip portion 2 is processed into a rod shape by impregnating the bundle of the crimped yarn with a resin.

A 2,000-denier bundle (also referred to as a "string") is obtained. The length of the convergence body can be appropriately selected according to the desired size of the ear canal cleaner, but may be, for example, 30 to 250 mm.

ができる。Then, a portion excluding at least one end (for example, 2 to 25 mm from the end) of the bundle is impregnated with a resin and processed into a rod shape to form a grip portion. The resin used at this time is not particularly limited, and any resin may be used as long as it can fix the bundle to form a rod. Therefore, a method of impregnating with a resin dissolved in a solvent or a method of impregnating with a molten resin can be used depending on the type of resin.

Here, the present inventor, when heating the end portion of the bundle not impregnated with the resin, the condensed material is loosened and swells in a wrapped shape, the earpiece provided at the end of the conventional earpick. The inventors have found that a similar earplug can be formed, and have completed the present invention.

除具を作製することができる。[0011] The formation of such an overhook portion is at the end of the bundle formed by bundling (and twisting as necessary) the crimped yarn having the crimp while stretching it. This is considered to be because the crimped yarn becomes sparse due to the re-crimping due to the heating and becomes bulky. Examples of the heating method include a method of heating in a dry atmosphere and a method of heating by applying steam.
As described above, the ear canal cleaning tool according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention can be manufactured.
