Description

  The present invention relates to a nasal filter for preventing influenza and hay fever.

  Nose-only filters have so far been filed with Japanese Patent Application No. 4-79666, Japanese Utility Model Application Nos. 6-31757, Utility Model Registration Nos. 3024536 and 3087070, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 11-342214 and 2002-148316 (P2002-148316). And JP 2002-345986 (P2002-45986A) have been filed, but all are a combination of a non-woven fabric / gauze / sponge filter and a holding member such as plastic / rubber. Filter and holding member) The shape did not match the nostril and nasal septum, and therefore, no shape was found that could accommodate any shape of nostril and nasal septum (different shapes for each person).

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, natural fibers, chemically synthesized fibers or composite fibers of natural fibers and chemically synthesized fibers, which are rounded into a soft spherical shape or an elliptical shape adapted to any shape of nostril in the filter portion, etc. There is no problem even if the shape of the nostril of the user and the position of the nostril to be worn are different (the shape of the nostril is not the same from the entrance to the back), and the holding member can have any shape of the nasal septum. Using a thin, soft wire or a wire coated with a high-molecular synthetic resin that fits when the character-shaped part is lightly picked with a fingertip, the nasal filter is not installed completely or the nasal filter does not slip off, and the nasal filter is crushed It can also be used as a nasal plug for nasal bleeding that has never existed before.

  As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a thin and soft wire, or a protrusion that is provided on both ends of a holding member that can be held in an arbitrary shape that is easily bent and covered with a polymer synthetic resin, and is coated with an adhesive. A sliver made of a synthetic fiber or a composite fiber of a natural fiber and a chemically synthesized fiber is softly wound, processed into a spherical or elliptical filter that can be easily inserted into and attached to the nostril, and the holding member is folded to fit the nasal septum It is formed in a letter shape.

  In addition, the nasal wall of the filter or the part in contact with the nasal septum is made of a sliver made of natural fiber, chemically synthesized fiber, or synthetic fiber of natural fiber and chemically synthesized fiber, which is processed into a spherical or elliptical sphere that can be easily inserted into and attached to the nostril. An activator can be applied.

  Activated carbon can be added to a filter made of a sliver such as a natural fiber, a chemically synthesized fiber, or a composite fiber of a natural fiber and a chemically synthesized fiber, which has been processed into a spherical shape or an elliptical shape that can be easily inserted into and attached to the nostril.

  Further, a scent can be added to a filter made of a sliver such as a natural fiber, a chemically synthesized fiber, or a composite fiber of a natural fiber and a chemically synthesized fiber, which is processed into a spherical shape or an elliptical shape that can be easily inserted into and attached to the nostril.

  Furthermore, a pharmaceutical product can be applied to a filter made of a sliver such as a natural fiber, a chemically synthesized fiber, or a composite fiber of a natural fiber and a chemically synthesized fiber, which is processed into a spherical shape or an elliptical shape that can be easily inserted and attached to the nostril.

  As described above, the nasal filter according to the present invention is different from the conventional nasal filter, and when fitted, the shape of both the filter and the holding member changes according to the variously shaped nostrils and septum and fits efficiently. It functions as a filter and has a soft spherical shape, so it is easy to breathe through the air, and unlike currently marketed masks, you can eat, wash, bath, etc. while wearing it. And there is no hindrance to the conversation.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the nasal filter of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the skin color is inconspicuous and can be held lightly by simply annealing and softly bending it as shown in FIG. Spherical protrusions are formed on both ends of the holding member 1 made of colored aluminum wire (diameter of about 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm), adhesive is applied, and a 100% natural cotton sliver is gently wound to form a spherical or elliptical shape. It is processed into a spherical shape, and the holding member 1 is bent into a U-shape. Therefore, the nasal filter is very easy to attach and detach, and the inserted spherical or elliptical filter 2 has a shape that matches the nostril. The holding member 1 fits into the nasal septum and is fixed firmly by simply picking it with the tip of the thumb and index finger (see FIG. 2), and does not fall off or jump out of the case. An annealed and soft iron wire or copper wire may be used instead of the aluminum wire, and the aluminum wire, iron wire and copper wire coated with vinyl may be used. Adhesives are non-toxic synthetic polymer adhesives such as vinyl acetate, excluding synthetic polymer adhesives containing harmful substances, and plant-based natural substance adhesives such as rosin-added rubber adhesives. Is used. If the vinyl cover is made conspicuous on the contrary, gold or silver, the lower part of the U-shaped holding member also becomes a nose piercing for ornaments. The protrusions are provided so that the filter does not easily come off from the tip of the holding member, and the tip of the holding member is not stuck in the nostril.

  Claim 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which is the nasal filter according to claim 1 and is made of a sliver made of 100% natural cotton that is processed into a spherical or elliptical sphere that is easy to insert and attach to the nostril. A humectant such as glycerin is applied to the portion of the filter 2 in contact with the nostril wall so that the filter 2 can be inserted more smoothly and the nostril wall is not damaged. In addition, when menthol is mixed in a moisturizer or filter, the passage of the nose is improved. (Drawing is omitted)

  A third aspect of the present invention shows a third embodiment of the present invention, which is a nasal filter according to the first or second aspect, which is a semi-synthetic fiber processed into a spherical or elliptical sphere that is easy to insert and attach to the nostril. Bincho charcoal (activated carbon) is kneaded into a filter 2 made of 100% rayon sliver and has excellent filtering power to prevent inhalation of harmful substances such as sulfur oxides, dust and bad smell into the body. It is effective to do. It should be noted that the filter 2 kneaded with Bincho charcoal (activated carbon) is black in color, and even if it is inserted shallowly into the nostril, it is difficult to determine the mounting of the filter 2. (Drawing is omitted)

  A fourth aspect of the present invention shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The nasal filter according to the first or second aspect is made of 100% natural cotton processed into a spherical or elliptical sphere that is easy to insert and attach to the nostril. The sliver filter 2 is added with a flower or herb fragrance (extract), and breathing heals the body, moisturizes the mind and creates vitality in the body. (Drawing is omitted)

  Claim 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The nasal filter according to claim 1 or claim 2 is made of 100% natural cotton processed into a spherical or elliptical sphere that is easy to insert and attach to the nostril. The sliver filter 2 is provided with a powdered or granulated pharmaceutical product, which is useful for treatment of oral cavity and respiratory diseases. In addition, in claim 1, claim 2, claim 4 and claim 5, a sliver of a synthetic fiber and a composite fiber of a natural fiber and a chemically synthesized fiber may be used, but a sliver of a natural fiber is used as much as possible. Is safer. (Drawing is omitted)

  The nasal filter is inexpensive to manufacture, can be disposed of as it is, prevents flu and hay fever, and is applied with a glycerin or other humectant. Is effective in removing harmful substances such as sulfur oxides, dioxins, dust, and offensive odors.A scented nasal filter heals the body and moisturizes the body. It is useful for treatment and can also be used as a nasal plug for stopping nosebleed, and its industrial applicability is extremely large.
