Description

  The present invention relates to a cotton swab packaging container in which a cotton swab and a chemical liquid are integrally provided so that the cotton balls of the cotton swab are impregnated with the chemical liquid when used.

  A cotton swab is used to remove the earwax by picking the shaft and inserting a cotton ball attached to the tip of the shaft into the ear, etc. In addition, the cotton ball is impregnated with a chemical solution. It is also used for disinfection and treatment by applying to the affected skin. At this time, a swab packaging container has been developed in which a swab is hygienically stored before use and a cotton ball of the swab is impregnated with a chemical solution during use.

  As such a cotton swab packaging container, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, a shaft portion storage recess of a cotton swab and a tip side of the shaft portion storage recess are provided in communication with the shaft portion storage recess. And a liquid bag is disposed and held in the tip of the cotton ball storage recess, and the upper end opening of the shaft storage recess and the cotton ball storage recess is sealed with a peelable lid. In addition, a protrusion with a sharp tip is provided on the bottom surface of the tip of the lid member so as to project toward the drug solution bag, and when used, the tip of the lid member is pressed downward and bent. There is known a structure in which a chemical liquid bag is broken by a protrusion, and the chemical liquid is caused to flow into a cotton ball storage recess to be impregnated into the cotton ball.

Further, in this Patent Document 1, the chemical solution bag is held in a state of being superimposed on the cotton ball without being provided in the tip portion of the cotton ball storage recess, while the protrusion storage container body is placed on the tip of the cotton ball storage recess. It is arranged so as to be foldable on the storage recess, and in use, the protrusion storage container body is folded on the cotton ball storage recess and then deformed so that the protrusion storage container body is crushed. There is also disclosed a cotton ball packaging container configured to break the upper chemical solution bag and impregnate the cotton ball with the chemical solution.
