Description

  The present invention relates to a device for applying a handy type liquid to a surface, and more particularly to a device for cleaning a surface with a liquid or applying a liquid to a surface.

Conventionally, handy-type containers containing liquids are carried and used for various purposes.
For example, there is a liquid container that can be used to easily carry dirt in a place where there is no running water, such as carrying a container that contains a cleaning liquid. .
In this case, as a simpler type that simply sprays liquid, a number of handy-type heel liquid storage devices that cause dirt to flow with the water pressure of water sprayed from the nozzle tip have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). Such a handy-type heel liquid container is intended to be able to easily clean the buttock on the go, and to wash away dirt on the skin with a jet of water.

  When removing dirt on the skin with a jet of water, it is effective for washing low-viscosity items such as watery stool, but removes solid substances stuck to the skin surface with soft stool or solid stool. Is very difficult only by the pressure of water pressure. Further, in order to remove dirt more neatly, it is necessary to increase the water pressure. In this case, the liquid rebounds from the skin surface, and the surrounding clothes and skin surface are stained.

  In addition, cleaning of the buttocks is also necessary for sick people, elderly caregivers, and infants, which imposes great burden on those who are involved in caregiving and childcare. When washing urine and stool adhering to a diaper for nursing care of an elderly person or changing diapers of infants, it is difficult to remove the dirt reliably without dirtying hands. Furthermore, infants are rare to stay still when changing diapers, and always move around, so it is required to quickly and quickly clean their buttocks.

  Therefore, it is common to remove the dirt by spraying the liquid on the part to be cleaned, and then wiping with a cloth or sponge, etc., or wiping with a cloth or sponge or the like that has previously absorbed the liquid, instead of cleaning with only the liquid. there were. In this case, it is necessary to handle the liquid container with one hand and the cloth with the other hand, which is not convenient.

  By the way, as a means to wipe off this liquid, stubborn dirt on the skin is generally wiped off with wet wipes, etc. In the case of wet wipes, too much force or rubbing for a long time Then, it may damage your skin red. In addition, if it is rubbed strongly, the absorbed water will not be squeezed out, and there may be a vicious cycle in which more force is applied and the skin is damaged.

  Thus, a product that can easily handle the liquid container and the means for applying and wiping off the liquid has been desired for various applications.

  Under such circumstances, as a specialized type of handy-type buttock cleaning device, an integrated container containing a liquid and a sponge for wiping dirt has been proposed. For example, a base end portion, a tube member that extends from the base end portion, is at least partially bendable, a liquid is circulated inside, and the liquid is discharged from the front end; and the tube member There has been proposed a pressure sore cleaning and cleaning instrument comprising a liquid supply means for supplying a liquid (see Patent Document 2). The base end portion and the liquid supply means are constituted by a water injection liquid holding container, and a cleaning and cleaning sponge that contacts the human body can be attached to the tip of the tube member.

However, a part of the extended portion is bendable, and a cleaning body in which a sponge and a cylindrical sheath body are integrated at the distal end portion is externally fitted to the water discharge portion at the distal end of the tube member. Because it is structured to be installed and washed by
1. Since a part of the tube member is bendable and has a certain length, a large force cannot be applied to the sponge provided at the tip during cleaning and cleaning. That is, it may have to be a gentle touch to clean and clean wounds such as pressure ulcers, but it is difficult to clean stubborn dirt.
2. Since the sheath body and the sponge are integrated, it is troublesome and difficult to replace only the dirty tip without touching the contaminated portion.

Incidentally, even if the liquid container according to Patent Document 2 is used for other purposes, the above-described drawbacks are not solved.

And (7) a jet direction of the liquid by controlling the jet of the liquid from the jet port for the straight jet and / or the jet port for the oblique jet. It is preferable to have a means for switching.

(8) Furthermore, the instrument for applying the handy-type liquid of the present invention to the surface moves the contact surface to the vicinity of the tip of the protrusion, and means for detaching the liquid absorption pad by such movement Is preferably provided.

(9) In the device for applying the handy type liquid of the present invention to the surface, the container body has a container gripping portion, and the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the container gripping portion has a substantially elliptical shape. (10) Furthermore, between the lower part and the upper part of the container gripping part, the major axis of the ellipse at the lower part of the container gripping part is set to the minor axis of the ellipse at the upper part of the container gripping part, and the lower part of the container gripping part The ellipse has a minor axis with a shape in which the ellipse is smoothly deformed so as to be the major axis of the ellipse at the upper part of the container gripping part, and the major axis of the section ellipse at the lower part and the upper part of the container gripping part has an angle of approximately 90 degrees It is preferable that

(11) Further, in the instrument for applying the handy type liquid of the present invention to the surface, the direction of the axis of the container gripping portion and the direction of the axis of the nozzle are preferably the same direction, and (12) the container When the direction of the axis of the gripping part and the direction of the nozzle axis indicate different directions, the plane formed by the axis of the container gripping part and the axis of the nozzle intersects the major axis of the ellipse at the bottom of the container gripping part at a right angle It is preferable to do.

(13) Furthermore, the instrument for applying the handy type liquid of the present invention to the surface divides the container body at a position where the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the container gripping portion is elliptical, It is preferable that a liquid filling opening for filling the liquid is provided, the other side is engaged with the liquid filling opening, and an opening sealing means having the same cross-sectional shape as the liquid filling opening is provided. .

(14) Moreover, the instrument for applying the handy type liquid of the present invention to the surface is for cleaning the surface, and a handy type cleaning instrument is provided.

(15) Furthermore, the present invention is a liquid container for an instrument for applying the handy type liquid according to any one of (1) to (14) to a surface.

  According to the device for applying the handy type liquid (1) of the present invention to the surface (hereinafter, simply referred to as “liquid application device”), the liquid supply, the liquid application, the wiping work, etc. Can be done with just one hand. Therefore, for example, when used as a cleaning instrument, it is possible to easily clean dirt around personal furniture, OA equipment, automobiles, and the like. Furthermore, it can be suitably used for baby diaper replacement and care for sick and elderly people, and it can be operated with one hand to reliably and quickly remove dirt adhered to the skin. That is, the container body is filled with liquid, the liquid absorbent pad is fixed to the protrusion at the tip of the container main body, and then the container main body is pressed and deformed so that the liquid is ejected from the nozzle and the liquid absorbent pad wipes off dirt. In addition, the liquid application tool can be cleaned by moving it in an appropriate direction. The liquid may be sprayed on the dirt and moistened before the liquid absorbent pad is attached. During washing, the container body can be pressed and washed while supplying liquid and washing away.

  In this case, of course, the liquid to be stored can be selected according to various ideas of the user. For example, paint, a stain remover, or the like can be used as the liquid. In this case, the liquid can be ejected and the liquid can be applied with the liquid absorbing pad with one hand.

  By providing the contact surface of (2) at the tip or protrusion of the container, the liquid absorption pad is fixed more firmly by fixing it with the contact surface in addition to fixing with the protrusion at the tip of the container. be able to. In particular, the fixing member is provided with the opening described in (3) and (4), which is fitted and fixed to the protrusion, and the surface that contacts the contact surface, thereby cooperating with the protrusion and the contact surface. Then, the liquid absorption pad (fixing member) is firmly fixed to the tip of the container. Further, the protrusion of the protrusion in (5) also strengthens the fixing of the liquid absorption pad (fixing member).

  In the handy type liquid applicator of the above (6) and (7), the nozzle has a straight jet nozzle and an oblique jet nozzle, and controls the liquid jet to switch the liquid jet direction. Since the device is provided, the liquid can be ejected in a straight line shape or a shower shape. The liquid absorbing pad can be moistened by spraying in a shower, the target position can be moistened extensively, or it can be locally moistened by spraying in a straight line.

  The handy type liquid applicator of (8) above can dispose of the absorbent pad after cleaning without touching it by moving the contact surface. The attached dirt and liquid will not contaminate the surroundings.

In the handy type liquid applicator of (9) above, by making the cross section of the container gripping portion of the container body into an elliptical shape, the stability of gripping the container body is increased and the reliability of the operation of wiping with the liquid absorption pad is improved. .
The liquid applicator having the above configuration (10) has a shape in which the major axis of each ellipse intersects at right angles at the upper and lower portions of the container gripping portion, so that the container fits snugly and improves grip stability. The operability of the liquid applicator is further improved.

  Furthermore, the liquid applicator of (10) is compact and has good storage properties when not in use when the direction of the axis of the container gripping part and the direction of the axis of the nozzle at the tip of the container are the same. (12) When the container tip is inclined from the container gripping portion so that the direction of the axis of the container gripping portion and the direction of the nozzle axis are different from each other, Stability and operability are improved, and if the axis of the nozzle is on a surface perpendicular to the major axis of the ellipse at the lower part of the container gripping part, it becomes easier to apply force to the liquid absorption pad.

  Since the liquid application instrument of (13) has a configuration in which a filling opening for filling the liquid is provided at a position where the cross section is elliptical, a force can be effectively applied to open and close. Further, by making the cross section of the opening for filling and the cross section of the sealing means engaged with each other into the same elliptical shape, it can be easily confirmed whether or not the sealing after the liquid has been stored is reliably performed. That is, when the ellipses of the two closely match each other, the engagement is ensured and a sufficient seal is obtained.

  (14) Further, when the handy-type liquid application device of the present invention is used as a device for cleaning the surface, the special effect as already described in the above (1) is exhibited.

  The liquid container (15) is in a state in which the liquid absorbing pad of the above-described handy-type liquid applicator is not attached, and can be used as a portable washer as it is.

Embodiments of a handy-type liquid applicator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
For convenience of explanation, the liquid application device according to the present invention will be described mainly with respect to the case where the liquid application device is used as a scissor cleaning device, but it is needless to say that the application of the liquid application device is not limited thereto.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and shows an overview of a handy type liquid applicator 1. FIG. 2 (a) shows a state in which the members (the liquid absorption pad 10 and the cap 9 as the sealing means) that can be removed during normal use of the handy type liquid application device 1 of FIG. 1 are removed. 2 (b) shows a front view of the liquid container 2 fitted with the cap 9 as seen from the left side in the drawing of FIG. 2 (a). 2 (a) and 2 (b), the operation lever and the like (liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 and ejection switching lever 15) shown in FIG. 1 are omitted.

  The container main body 3 of the liquid storage container 2 is formed in a shape that is easy to grasp with a material that can be pressed and deformed, and holds the liquid therein. Although not visible in FIG. 1, the container front end portion 4 is provided with a nozzle 16 that ejects liquid and at least one protrusion 17 that protrudes from the container front end portion 4. A disposable liquid absorbing pad 10 that absorbs and holds liquid ejected from the nozzle 16 is detachably fixed to the protrusion 17. In the case of FIG. 1, the liquid absorbing pad 10 is composed of a liquid absorbing member 11 and a fixing member 12. Accordingly, the container gripping portion 6 of the container body 3 can be grasped by hand and pressurized to eject the liquid in the container from the nozzle 16, and the liquid supplied from the nozzle 16 is processed into a wave shape of the liquid absorption pad 10. The flexible liquid absorbing member 11 is moistened. The dirt is removed by wiping the liquid-absorbing member 11 containing liquid against the object to be cleaned and wiping it back and forth and right and left. Further, during washing, the container body 3 can be further pressed to send out the liquid, and washing can be carried out while washing away dirt.

FIG. 3A shows a conceptual diagram of a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 is attached to the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3, and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorption pad 10 protrudes from the container distal end portion 4. 17, the liquid absorption pad 10 is fixed to the container tip 4. The abutment surface 21 of the container tip 4 and the fixing member 12 are in abutment with each other in a plane, and the abutment and protrusion of this surface are more firmly fixed, particularly when the liquid absorbing pad 10 is pressed against the dirt and moved. It will be understood that it is effectively fixed by the fitting at 17. FIG. 3B shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 is separated from the protrusion 17 of the distal end portion 4.
When the liquid absorbent pad 10 is fixed to the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3, the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is fitted into the protrusion 17 and fixed using the elasticity of the material of the fixing member 12. Therefore, it is preferable that the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is processed to be smaller than the cross-sectional outer shape of the protrusion 17 in view of elasticity.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the contact surface 21 of the container tip 4 and the fixing member 12 are in contact with each other in a plane, the fixing effect due to the contact becomes very large. Can be fixed to the tip 4 of the container body 3. However, if the liquid absorbent pad 10 (liquid absorbent member 11) can be applied to the object to be cleaned and wiped forward, backward, left and right, the fixed member 12 does not necessarily have to contact the contact surface 21, and as shown in FIG. The member 12 may be fixed simply by fitting the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 into the protrusion 17 in a state where the member 12 is not brought into contact with the protruding portion 17 without being brought into contact with the container body 3. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, even if the projection 17 itself is provided with a flat contact surface 21 and the fixing member 12 is fitted into the projection 17 and is brought into contact with the contact surface 21 of the projection 17, the desired shape can be obtained. A fixing effect can be obtained.

The cross-sectional shape, size, number and arrangement of the protrusions 17 are not particularly limited as long as the liquid absorbing pad 10 is appropriately fixed to the protrusions 17, and can be appropriately selected. That is, the cross-sectional shape is not limited to a circle, and may be an ellipse, an arbitrary polygon, or a combination of these. When providing the some protrusion 17, the cross-sectional shape may use a different shape, or the same shape may be used. A shape that is easy to process is desirable, and the protrusion 17 is particularly preferably a columnar shape or a cylindrical shape. When the protrusion 17 has a cylindrical shape, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the nozzle 16 for supplying a liquid can be passed through the inside.
In addition, the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 needs to be provided with an opening 23 corresponding to the cross-sectional shape, size, number, and arrangement of the protrusions 17 in consideration of the elasticity of the material and fitted into the protrusions 17. It is.

When the protrusion 18 is provided on the outer surface of the protrusion 17 in contact with the opening 23 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 and the protrusion 18 bites into the inner wall surface of the opening of the liquid absorbing pad 10 when the liquid absorbing pad 10 is inserted, The liquid absorption pad 10 can be firmly fixed by the container front-end | tip part 4 (refer Fig.3 (a)).
The shape of the protrusion 18 is uneven as long as the fixing member 12 can be deformed into a shape corresponding to the unevenness by its elastic force when the fixing member 12 is fitted and pressed against the unevenness. It may be a simple shape. For example, when the protrusion 18 is discontinuous, a cone, a pyramid, a cylinder, a prism, and a combination of these may be used, and the arrangement may be regular or random. In addition, the protrusion 18 may be continuous, and in this case, the cross-section around the outer periphery of the protrusion 17 may be a polygonal shape (for example, a triangle, a quadrangle, or a trapezoid).

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the effect of the trapezoidal protrusion 18 having various different cross sections. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the protrusion 18 has a slope in the direction in which the fixing member 12 of the trapezoid liquid-absorbing pad 10 enters and retracts both of the trapezoidal feet on the distal end side and the base side of the protrusion 17. When the trapezoidal shape is used, the liquid absorption pad 10 is smoothly inserted (attached) and removed (discarded). As shown in FIG. 6 (b), if only the tip side of the protrusion 17 is sloped, it is smooth when inserted, but not smoothly when removed. Moreover, as shown in FIG.6 (c), when only the base part side of the protrusion 17 is made into a slope, smooth insertion cannot be performed.
As shown in FIG. 6 (d), when the protrusion 18 extends to the base of the protrusion 17, the liquid absorption pad 10 tends to sway, and the protrusion 18 does not reach the base of the protrusion 17. 17 and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 are strongly bonded. That is, the shape of FIG. 6A in which the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is pushed and widened by the protrusion 18 and further passes through the protrusion 18 to return to the original shape and wrap around the protrusion 18 is most preferable. . Furthermore, it is preferable that a plurality of trapezoidal protrusions 18 are provided on the outer peripheral portion in the vicinity of the tip of the protrusion 17 outward from the axis of the protrusion 17 and spaced radially.

  The liquid absorption pad 10 used in the handy type liquid application device 1 of the present invention absorbs the liquid and wipes away the dirt, and fixes the liquid absorption member 11 to the liquid container 2. Therefore, it is hygienic because it is used as a disposable type to be discarded after use. The liquid-absorbing member 11 is a member that absorbs and holds liquid and applies it to the object to be cleaned to wipe off the dirt. The material and shape are not particularly limited, and cloth, non-woven fabric, paper, sponge, hair (brush) And the like can be used. The fixing member 12 is a member that detachably fixes the liquid absorption pad 10 to the distal end portion 4 of the container main body 3, and in particular, the liquid absorption pad 10 does not interfere with the cleaning operation during cleaning. It plays the role which fixes to the front-end | tip part 4 firmly.

  1-3, the liquid absorbent pad 10 is made of a sponge-like urethane foam having an irregular surface on the cleaning surface and protruding pleats 37 in a bowl shape, and closed cells having moderate elasticity and hardness. It has a structure in which a fixing member 12 made of foamed polyethylene having a structure is bonded with an adhesive. The urethane foam is flexible, has a good feel to the touch, has water retention, and can be particularly preferably used as the liquid absorbing member 11. In addition, since the fixing member 12 is fitted and fixed to the protrusion 17 of the container tip 4, the foamed polyethylene having the closed cell structure has an appropriate elasticity and has a large amount of deformation to be restored, so that it can be preferably used. it can. In addition, since urethane foam and polyethylene foam are general-purpose synthetic resins, they are easy to process such as molding and bonding, and are inexpensive materials suitable for mass production. Can be used.

  The liquid absorption pad 10 may have any shape as long as the liquid absorption member 11 that absorbs and holds the liquid is applied to the object to be cleaned and can be rubbed back and forth and left and right to remove dirt. The liquid-absorbing member 11 and the fixing member 12 are formed integrally, inserted into the protrusion 17 of the container tip 4 and used, not detached from the protrusion 17 during cleaning, and easily protruded after cleaning In view of the fact that it can be detached from 17, a flat plate shape is preferable. The shape of the surface to be cleaned can be any shape, such as a circle or rectangle, but a diamond, ellipse, or long isosceles triangle (a shape obtained by extending the height of the regular triangle to about twice). Moreover, it is preferable that the corners of the rhombus and the triangle are rounded by rounding.

  It is preferable that the cleaning surface of the liquid absorbing member 11 is provided with pleats 37 so as to protrude. The pleats 37 are provided so as to be perpendicular to the longer diagonal in the case of a rhombus, perpendicular to the major axis in the case of an ellipse, and perpendicular to the longest height in the case of a triangle. The height of the protruding pleat 37 is a length that covers the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 or the opening 22 of the liquid-absorbing member 11 provided continuously with the pleat 37 when the pleat 37 falls due to dirt during cleaning. Is preferably the same as the interval between the adjacent pleats 37 and less than half the height of the pleats 37. Since it is not always necessary to provide the opening 22 of the liquid-absorbing member 11, if there is no such opening, the length of the pleat 37 may be determined as having an opening. When cleaning dirt, it is preferable to rub dirt by moving the liquid absorbing pad 10 in an acute angle direction (for example, in the case of a rhombus, a long diagonal line). If the pleats 37 are provided with the above dimensions, when the liquid absorbing pad 10 is applied to the dirt, the pleats 37 fall down and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is closed, and each time the liquid absorbing pad 10 is moved, a plurality of dirt is collected. The pleats 37 can successively hit and wipe off the dirt.

The liquid absorption pad 10 is detachably fixed to the protrusion 17 of the container tip 4 by the fixing member 12. Preferably, the opening 17 of the fixing member 12 is fixed to the protrusion 17 so that the thickness of the fixing member 12 is the length that the protrusion 17 protrudes from the container tip 4. Preferably, the fixing member 12 is fitted into the protrusion 17 and pressed so as to be in close contact with the contact surface 21 of the container tip 4. Since the liquid absorbing pad 10 is firmly fixed as the fixing member 12 comes into contact with the contact surface 21 so that there is no gap, the bottom surface of the fixing member 12 that abuts the contact surface 21 is a plane corresponding to the contact surface 21. Preferably there is.
Further, the fixing member 12 is provided with an opening 23 so as to match the shape, size, number and arrangement of the protrusions 17. Further, in addition to the protrusion 17, when the liquid nozzle 16 protrudes from the container tip 4, the fixing member 12 is fitted using the nozzle 16 like the protrusion 17 to fix the liquid absorbing pad 10. It can also be used. However, as will be described later, when the nozzle 16 is of a movable type, for example, for switching the liquid ejection direction, the fixed member 12 is provided with an opening 23 of a size in which the liquid nozzle 16 is loosely inserted. Is preferred. If the nozzle 16 is not movable, it can also serve as a protrusion 17 for inserting and fixing the liquid absorption pad.
The liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 can also be provided with an opening 22 at the same position as the opening 23 of the fixing member 12. When the opening 23 corresponds only to the protrusion 17, it is not necessary to provide the opening 22 up to the liquid absorbing member 11, but providing the opening of the same size at the same position of both the fixing member 12 and the liquid absorbing member 11 Since it is only necessary to make the through hole 36 in the liquid absorbing pad 10, there is an advantage that it is easy to process. Further, it is preferable to provide a through hole 36 at the position of the nozzle 16, so that not only the liquid is supplied from the nozzle 16 to the liquid absorbing member 11, but also if it is jetted straight, it passes through the through hole 36 and is directly directed to dirt. Can apply liquid.

FIG. 7 is a view of an example of the shape of the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 as viewed from the outer surface 24 side of the fixing member 12. As described above, the shape of the opening 23 corresponds to the protrusion 17, but any shape may be employed because the fixing member 12 may be fitted into the protrusion 17 and fixed firmly. Specifically, a circular shape, an elliptical shape (FIG. 7 (a)), a multi- (hexagonal) square shape (FIG. 7 (b)), and other arbitrary shapes (FIG. 7 (c)) in which these are combined. . Normally, the opening has the same shape as the corresponding cross section of the protrusion 17, but it is not always necessary to do so, and the fixing member 12 (liquid absorbing pad 10) having a hexagonal opening is combined with the protrusion 17 having a circular cross section. Alternatively, on the contrary, the fixing member 12 (liquid absorbing pad 10) having a circular opening can be combined with the protrusion 17 having a hexagonal cross section, and the combination is free and the one fixed more firmly is appropriately selected. It is preferable to select. The opening 23 usually has the same shape as the cross section of the corresponding protrusion 17, but it is not always necessary to do so, and the fixing member 12 of the hexagonal opening 23 may be combined with the protrusion 17 having a circular cross section, On the contrary, the fixing member 12 of the circular opening 23 can be combined with the protrusion 17 having a hexagonal cross section, and the combination is free, and it is preferable to appropriately select one that is fixed more firmly. By providing the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 at the position of the center of gravity of the rhombus, ellipse, deformed triangle, or the like, the liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 is pressed against the dirt in a balanced manner during cleaning. be able to.
Further, if there are a plurality of protrusions 17, it is naturally necessary to provide openings 23 in the fixing member 12 according to the number of the protrusions 17. For example, when there are two protrusions 17 and two openings 23, as shown in FIG. 7D, the openings 23 of the fixing member 12 may be provided side by side along the longitudinal direction so as to constitute the center of gravity. As shown in FIG. 7 (e), they may be arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Since the liquid absorbing pad 10 is normally moved in the longitudinal direction, the two openings 23 are preferably provided along the longitudinal direction. further,

The nozzle 16 used in the handy-type liquid applicator 1 of the present invention ejects the liquid from the container body 3 onto the liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 to wet it, or directly ejects it to dirt. The nozzle 16 is indicated by 16 in FIGS. 2 and 3, and in these examples, is disposed inside the cylindrical protrusion 17.
The handy-type liquid applicator 1 of the present invention switches the jet direction of the liquid jetted from the nozzle 16 and, for example, jets in a straight line in the same direction as the shaft 20 of the nozzle 16, or is shower-like, trumpet-like or sprayed. It is preferable to have means for jetting in a shape. The ejection switching lever 15 shown in FIG. 1 switches the ejection direction of the liquid ejected from the nozzle 16 when the lever is moved left and right. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, at the tip of the nozzle 16, there are three jet nozzles 25 for rectilinear jets at the center of the tip of the nozzle 16, and six diagonals at the corner (corner) of the tip of the nozzle 16. There is a spout 26 for ejection. The oblique ejection port 26 is provided to eject at an angle of 135 degrees with respect to the nozzle shaft 20. Also, a cylindrical nozzle packing 28 shown in FIG. 8B is attached to the inside of the tip of the nozzle 16 to close the jet outlet 26 for oblique ejection. Since the outer shape of the cylindrical nozzle packing 28 is processed into the shape inside the tip of the nozzle 16, when the nozzle 16 or the nozzle packing 28 is moved by a known means such as a lever and the nozzle packing 28 is pushed into the tip of the nozzle 16, The nozzle 26 for oblique ejection at the tip of the nozzle 16 is closed by a nozzle packing 28. However, the jet port 25 for the straight jet is not blocked by the opening at the tip of the nozzle packing 28. Therefore, the nozzle packing 28 can be relatively pushed into the tip of the nozzle 16 and the liquid can be ejected linearly. Conversely, if the nozzle packing 28 is separated from the tip of the nozzle 16, the liquid is discharged from both the oblique ejection outlet 26 and the rectilinear ejection outlet 25, and the liquid is supplied to both the dirt and the liquid absorbing pad 10. be able to.
In FIG. 1, when the ejection switching lever 15 is moved, the nozzle 16 moves back and forth. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the knob 27 at the base of the nozzle 16 is inserted into the knob receiving hole 36 of the ejection switching lever 15 through the slit guide 35 of the guide plate 34 fixed to the casing of the liquid container 2. When the lever 15 is moved from side to side, the knob receiving hole 36 moves along the slit guide 35 along with the knob 27 as the lever 15 rotates. Since the movement of the knob 27 is the movement of the nozzle 16 itself, the nozzle 16 is moved back and forth through the knob 27 as indicated by d in FIG. 9B as the knob receiving hole 36 is moved by the rotation of the lever 15. The ejection of the liquid can be switched by the action of the nozzle packing 28 described above.

  It is preferable that the liquid can be sprayed only on the dirt, supplied only to the liquid absorbing pad 10, or appropriately switched to both the dirt and the liquid absorbing pad 10 by switching the ejection direction of the liquid. In addition to using the above-mentioned nozzle packing, a well-known method can be used for, for example, a spray nozzle, a nozzle at the tip of a fire hose or a watering nozzle. However, the method using the nozzle packing 28 has a simple mechanism and is excellent in stability and certainty.

In the handy-type liquid applicator 1 of the present invention, the contact surface 21 provided at the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3 is provided so as to be movable to the vicinity of the distal end of the protruding portion 17, and the liquid absorbing pad 10 is moved by such movement. It is preferable to have a means for desorbing. With such a configuration, the used absorbent pad 10 is not touched without touching the used absorbent pad 10, and the used absorbent pad 10 is not contaminated with dirt or a used liquid adhering to the used absorbent pad 10 after use. The liquid pad 10 can be discarded.
As described above, the contact surface 21 of the container tip 4 is in contact with the surface of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorption pad 10 to assist the fixation of the liquid absorption pad 10. It has a role which pushes out from the protrusion 17 and removes. When the contact surface 21 is translated as it is to the tip of the protrusion 17, the liquid absorbing pad 10 (the fixing member 12 thereof) is pushed by the contact surface 21, and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is disengaged from the protrusion 17. Detach from the liquid container.

An example of such a desorption mechanism is shown in FIG.
Three extrusion rods 30 are attached to the back side (liquid container side) of the extrusion plate 29 having the contact surface 21 in parallel with the protrusions 17, and the end portions of the three extrusion rods 30 are at the extrusion ring 31. It is fixed to. The three extrusion rods 30 and the extrusion ring 31 have an integral structure. The casing member (a plate-like member parallel to the extrusion plate 29) of the container front end portion 4 to which the protrusion 17 is fixed at the base is provided with holes through which the three extrusion rods 30 penetrate. Therefore, the casing member can relatively move between the extrusion plate 29 and the extrusion ring 31 along the three extrusion rods 30. Further, an extrusion knob 32 is provided on the outer peripheral upper portion of the extrusion ring 31 so as to protrude from the center of the ring, and the extrusion knob 32 is connected to the liquid absorbing pad attaching / detaching knob 14 near the container tip 4.
Therefore, when the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is slid in the distal direction of the liquid container 2 after the cleaning is completed, the extrusion knob 32, the extrusion ring 31, the extrusion rod 30 and the extrusion plate 29 connected to the knob 14 are moved in the container distal direction. Slide to. The liquid absorbing pad 10 fitted into the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 and the protrusion 18 of the protrusion 17 and fixed by the elasticity of the fixing member 12 is pushed by the pushing plate 29, and the fixing member 12 portion contracts. When pressed, the force exceeds the force fixed by elasticity, and the liquid absorbing pad 10 is detached from the protrusion 17. At this time, by operating the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 with the liquid absorption pad 10 facing down, it can be disposed of without touching the used liquid absorption pad 10 at all, which is sanitary.

  FIG. 11 shows a state where the liquid absorption pad 10 is detached after cleaning. FIG. 11 (a) shows a state in which an index finger is attached to the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 in order to remove the liquid absorption pad 10 immediately after cleaning, and FIG. 11 (a ') shows a protrusion of the container tip 4 at that time. 17 and the state of the extrusion plate 29 are shown excluding the liquid absorption pad. FIG. 11B shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is slightly moved. Further, FIG. 11C shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 is completely pushed out and the liquid absorption pad 10 is detached. FIG. 11 (c ′) shows the state of the container tip 4 at that time, and it can be seen that the pushing plate 29 is at the tip of the protrusion 17.

  Note that the extrusion plate 29 having the contact surface 21 is not necessarily made integrally with the entire contact surface 21. As the extrusion plate 29, it is only necessary that the washed liquid absorbing pad 10 can be removed from the protrusion 17. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the extrusion plates 29-1 and 29-2 can be provided above and below the protrusion 17 so as to be fixed to the tip of the extrusion rod 30 in FIG. 10. . Moreover, the four extrusion plates 29-1 to 29-4 can also be provided on the top, bottom, left, and right of the protrusion 17, as shown in FIG.

  The shape of the container body 3 is preferably such that the cross section perpendicular to the axis 19 of the container body (in the longitudinal direction) has a substantially elliptical shape. If it is oval, the container body 3 does not rotate in the hand when grasped, so that the container body 3 can be easily grasped and pressed, and the operability of the liquid absorption pad 10 is improved, so that the container body 3 is reliably and stably Can be wiped.

  Furthermore, the major axis of the ellipse in the lower part 8 of the container gripping part 6 and the major axis of the upper part 7 of the container gripping part 6 form an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse are smoothly deformed therebetween. Is preferred. The major axis of the ellipse is in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface at the lower portion 8 of the container gripping portion 6 in FIG. 1, and is in a direction parallel to the paper surface at the upper portion 7 of the container gripping portion 6 in FIG. The lower part 8 of the container gripping part 6 indicates the part where the little finger comes when the container body 3 is normally gripped, and the upper part 7 of the container gripping part 6 indicates the part where the thumb comes. Further, the structure in which the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse are smoothly deformed means that the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse in the lower part 8 of the container gripping part 6 are smoothly shortened toward the upper part 7 of the container gripping part 6. The container is in a state in which the major axis and minor axis are interchanged (the angle of the major axis of both forms approximately 90 degrees) after the diameter increases and the major axis and minor axis are equal in the middle part (cross-sectionally round). This refers to a structure that reaches the ellipse of the upper portion 7 of the grip portion 6. In this way, when the container holding part 6 is grasped, it fits more comfortably with the palm, etc., and it is extremely stable with the little finger, ring finger (and middle finger) and palm, and with the thumb and index finger (and middle finger). Since pressure can be naturally applied to the portion of the container body 3 that can be pressed and deformed, the operability of the liquid absorption pad 10 is remarkably improved.

  The above-mentioned substantially 90 degrees is not necessarily required to be exactly 90 degrees as long as the above-described effect can be obtained, and may be 90 ± 30 degrees, for example, and more preferably 90 ± 10. Degree. Further, the closer to 90 degrees, the better the appearance and the easier it is to manufacture, so that it is preferable.

Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 1, the container body 3 is bent on the container gripping portion 6, but the liquid application device 1 of the present invention is in the direction of the axis 19 (longitudinal direction) of the container body 3, The direction of the axis 20 of the nozzle 16 that sends out the liquid (in FIG. 1, the direction perpendicular to the extrusion plate 29) is the same, that is, the container body 3 may be straight without being bent to the nozzle 16. Because it is compact and easy to carry and store, it is convenient when it is used for portable purposes.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the direction of the axis 19 of the container body 3 and the direction of the axis 20 of the nozzle 16 may be different, and the operability and stability of the liquid absorption pad 10 are improved. In this case, the angle formed by the two axes is preferably 120 degrees or more. Furthermore, it is preferable that the surface formed by the two axes having such an angle and the major axis of the ellipse in the lower portion 8 of the container gripping portion 6 intersect perpendicularly. In some cases, the axis 19 of the container body 3 and the axis 20 of the nozzle 16 are on two planes perpendicular to the major axis of the ellipse. The angle formed when two planes are overlapped is preferably the angle described above. Further, the angle formed by the longitudinal direction of the container body 3 and the direction of the axis 20 of the nozzle 16 is an angle indicated by θ in FIG. By providing such an angle in the container main body 3, the liquid absorption pad 10 attached to the container tip 4 can be reliably and stably opposed to dirt. By doing so, when the container body 3 is gripped, the direction of the gripped hand and the direction of the liquid absorption pad 10 are fitted, and the effects of the elliptical structures of the upper part 7 and the base part of the container gripping part 6 described above are considered. Thus, the operability and stability of the liquid absorbent pad 10 are further improved.

  In FIG. 1, a cap 9 is provided for replenishing the container body 3 with a liquid. Since the cap 9 is provided at a location where the cross section of the container body 3 is elliptical, the force can be used effectively, and even a person with weak grip strength or an elderly person can easily apply the force and easily open and close it. In particular, when the cap 9 is also formed in the same elliptical shape as the cap engaging portion of the container body 3 and is kept hermetically when the two elliptical shapes coincide with each other, the cap 9 is not closed until the end. And the engagement part of the container body 3 are not smooth and are not closed at first glance, so that liquid leakage or the like can be prevented.

  The cap 9 is adapted to be attached to the container base end portion 5, but the container body 3 is divided at an appropriate position where the cross section of the container body 3 is elliptical, and the openings of the divided parts are processed. Then, a liquid replenishing mechanism that replaces the cap 9 can be provided by combining known engagement means such as screwing and known sealing means so that the liquid does not leak. Since the container gripping portion 6 needs to be deformed by pressing the container body 3, the liquid replenishing mechanism is preferably provided at a position other than the container gripping portion 6, and the container base end portion 5 (cap 9 in FIG. Or the position where the operation mechanism accommodating portion 13 above the container gripping portion 6 starts is preferable. In the case of the latter position, the number of places where the container main body 3 is processed is reduced, so that the safety of the container main body 3 is maintained, and there is an effect of reducing the number of places where there is a concern about liquid leakage. On the other hand, in the case of the container base end portion 5 like the cap 9 described above, the opening and closing operation of the cap 9 is easy, the cap 9 is made of a hard material, and the head of the hard cap 9 is placed on the bottom. be able to.

The usage method of the liquid application instrument 1 of this invention is demonstrated based on FIGS. 1-3. In this case, the said liquid application instrument 1 shall be used as a washing | cleaning instrument of a buttocks.
First, the cap 9 is removed from the container body 3 and filled with a liquid (for example, water, hot water, a disinfecting liquid containing alcohol or acetic acid, a cleaning liquid containing a surfactant, etc.), and the cap 9 is closed. Since both the container body 3 and the cap 9 have an oval cross section, they can be opened and closed easily. In addition, if the two oval shapes of the container body 3 and the cap 9 are tightened until they fit together to ensure a hermetic seal, there is a risk of leakage if the two oval shapes do not match. Can be sensed.

  Then, the opening 23 (see FIG. 3B) of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorption pad 10 is fitted into the protrusion 17 until the bottom surface of the fixing member 12 is in perfect contact with the push plate 29. When the container gripping portion 6 of the container body 3 is grasped and pressure is applied to the container body 3, the liquid in the container is pushed out and ejected from the nozzle 16. At this time, by operating the ejection switching lever 15, the liquid is ejected straight and sprayed directly on the dirt to be cleaned, or is ejected in a shower-like manner, or the liquid is supplied to the liquid absorption pad 10. can do.

  Next, the liquid-absorbing member 11 of the liquid-absorbing pad 10 is applied to the dirt to be cleaned, and the dirt is wiped off by rubbing. The washing side of the liquid-absorbing member 11 is concavo-convex processed into pleats, and when the liquid applicator 1 is moved and rubbed, it is preferable to move the pleats 37 so as to rub the dirt one after another. In other words, the effect as described above can be obtained by moving in a direction perpendicular to the pleat 37 instead of moving along the pleat. Further, when the pleat 37 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the pleat 37, the pleat 37 closes the opening 23 of the fixing member 12, and the dirt does not stain the tip of the nozzle 16. (The liquid absorbing member 11 having no opening originally has this effect. ) During the cleaning, the container body 3 can be pressed to discharge the liquid continuously and to wash away.

In addition, since the container main body 3 and the liquid absorption pad 10 are connected, it becomes possible to operate the liquid absorption pad 10 delicately by easily operating the container main body 3 with the dominant arm.
At this time, it is possible to gently move the liquid absorbing pad 10 so as to massage the position to be cleaned or move the liquid so as to foam the liquid as desired by the user.

  When cleaning is completed, when the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 disposed near the tip of the container body 3 is slid in the direction of the liquid absorbing pad 10, the liquid absorbing pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is connected to the extrusion plate 29. The plate 29 is pushed out to the tip of the protrusion 17, that is, near the tip of the nozzle 16. By this movement, the liquid absorbing pad 10 that comes into contact with the pushing plate 29 is detached from the protrusion 17. If the above operation is performed on an appropriate garbage container, the soiled liquid absorbing pad 10 falls to the garbage container by its own weight. At this time, the contaminated liquid absorbing pad 10 can be sanitized and disposed without touching the contaminated liquid absorbing pad 10 without contaminating the periphery.

  As described above, according to the present invention, except for filling the liquid and inserting the liquid absorbing pad 10, the container body 3 is grasped with one hand, and the dirt is rubbed with the liquid absorbing pad 10 containing cleaning water. Since it can be wiped off, it is possible to easily treat all kinds of dirt in hospitals, homes and offices. In particular, if the absorbent pad 10 of the absorbent member 11 that is gentle to the skin is used, the stubborn dirt adhering to the skin can be quickly and reliably removed without damaging the skin. It can be suitably used when nursing an elderly person or changing an infant's diaper.

  On the other hand, it is needless to say that the liquid to be stored can be selected according to various ideas of the user, not limited to use as a cleaning instrument. For example, paint, a stain remover, or the like can be used as the liquid. In this case, the liquid can be ejected and the liquid can be applied with the liquid absorbing pad with one hand.
