Description

  The present invention belongs to a technical field related to a piercing hole cleaning tool for cleaning a piercing hole (a hole formed in an earlobe or the like in order to insert a piercing directly attached to the body).

  For pierced holes, regular cleaning is required to maintain the piercing and hygiene conditions. For this reason, various cleaning tools for piercing holes have been provided that enable easy cleaning of the piercing holes.

Conventionally, as a piercing hole cleaning tool, for example, the following ones are known.
JP-A-8-206031 Patent Document 1 describes a piercing hole cleaning tool which is formed into an elongated rod-like body, one end side is left as it is, and fibers, felts, sponges and the like are fixed to the other end side with an adhesive. .

  The cleaning tool for piercing holes according to Patent Document 1 uses one end side as a guide part for insertion into a relatively small-diameter piercing hole, and the other end side as a cleaning part impregnated with a disinfectant. The cleaning is performed by inserting the pierced hole to the end side and repeatedly sliding the other end side through the pierced hole to physically remove foreign substances or chemically disinfect.

  In the piercing hole cleaning tool according to Patent Document 1, a manufacturing work is required in which an adhesive is partially applied to a rod-shaped body formed in an elongated shape to adhere and fix fibers and the like. However, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost becomes high. In addition, since an adhesive is used to fix the fiber or the like to the rod-like body, there is a problem that the adhesive may be eluted depending on the type of the disinfectant and may adversely affect the body.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and can be manufactured inexpensively, easily and can be used safely, and a piercing hole cleaning tool and the piercing cleaning tool. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a piercing hole cleaning tool suitable for the above-mentioned.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the cleaning device for piercing holes according to the present invention employs the means described in claim 1 of the claims.

  That is, synthetic fibers and cotton fibers or vegetable fibers similar to cotton fibers and animal fibers are mixed to form elongated rods, and melted by heat treatment and plant fibers and animals similar to cotton fibers or cotton fibers. Depending on the state of fusion with the fiber, one end portion has a relatively uniform structure with a relatively small diameter and the other end portion has a relatively large diameter and a soft porous structure.

  In this means, heat treatment is performed on the rod-shaped body, so that one end side is attached to a relatively small diameter pierced hole depending on the fused state of the molten synthetic fiber and cotton fiber or vegetable fiber or animal fiber similar to cotton fiber. The insertion guide portion can be used as the cleaning portion where the other end is impregnated with the disinfectant, and a manufacturing work for attaching a separate member to the rod-like body is not required. In addition, by eliminating the need for an adhesive by using a heat treatment in a manufacturing work, the adhesive does not dissolve in some disinfectants during use, and the body is not adversely affected.

  Moreover, in order to solve the above-mentioned subject, the manufacturing method of the cleaning tool for piercing holes which concerns on this invention employ | adopts the means as described in Claim 2 of a claim.

  That is, at least two types of synthetic fibers having different melting points and cotton fibers or vegetable fibers similar to cotton fibers and animal fibers are mixed to form a material composed of an elongated rod-shaped body. Heating at a temperature at which the synthetic fiber melts, heating at the other end of the material at a temperature at which at least one synthetic fiber melts, and at one end of the material, a synthetic fiber and a vegetable fiber similar to cotton fiber or cotton fiber, Animal fibers are completely fused, and synthetic fibers, cotton fibers or plant fibers similar to cotton fibers, or animal fibers are fused incompletely at the other end of the material.

  In this means, the heating temperature on the one end side of the material made of the rod-shaped body is different from the heating temperature on the other end side, so that the synthetic fiber melted and the cotton fiber or the vegetable fiber similar to the cotton fiber and the animal fiber are used. Depending on the fused state, one end can be a guiding portion for insertion into a relatively small diameter piercing hole, and the other end can be a cleaning portion impregnated with a disinfectant.

  The cleaning tool for piercing holes according to the present invention is such that a stick-shaped body is heat-treated so that one end portion side is relatively bonded depending on the fused state between the melted synthetic fiber and cotton fiber or vegetable fiber or animal fiber similar to cotton fiber. Can be used as a guide for insertion into a small diameter pierce hole, and the other end can be used as a cleaning part impregnated with disinfectant. There is an effect that can be done. In addition, by eliminating the need for adhesives by using heat treatment in the manufacturing work, the adhesives will not elute depending on the disinfectant during use, and can be used safely. effective.

  The manufacturing method of the cleaning tool for piercing holes according to the present invention is obtained by differentiating the heating temperature on one end side and the heating temperature on the other end side of the material made of a rod-like material, so that the molten synthetic fiber and cotton fiber or cotton Depending on the state of fusion with plant fibers and animal fibers that are similar to fibers, one end can be used as a guide for insertion into a relatively small-diameter piercing hole, and the other end can be used as a cleaning part impregnated with a disinfectant. Therefore, there is an effect that it can be manufactured by a simple technique of adjusting the heating temperature without impairing the effect of the piercing hole cleaning tool according to the present invention.

  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the piercing hole cleaning tool and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In this embodiment, the one suitable for manufacturing a pierced hole pierced in the earlobe is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this form is formed in a rod-shaped body having an elongated shape (diameter of about 1 mm). The one end side 1 has a relatively small diameter and a length a of about 3 to 5 cm. The other end 2 has a relatively large diameter and a length b of 5 to 15 cm. From the one end part side 1 to the other end part side 2, it is smoothly continuous without forming a large step.

  This rod-shaped body is manufactured from a material P in which at least two types of synthetic fibers having different melting points are mixed with cotton fibers or plant fibers and animal fibers similar to cotton fibers. More specifically, 20 to 40% by weight of low melting point polyester fiber is used as a sheath, and 20 to 40% by weight of high melting point polyester fiber and 20 to 40% by weight of cotton fiber or vegetable fiber or animal fiber similar to cotton fiber. The core is manufactured from a material P mixed in a bundle. It is also possible to add entanglement, twisting, and the like for mixing into a bundle.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the material P is formed into a long shape, intermittently fed to the heating furnace H by the drawing roller R, heat-treated inside the heating furnace H, and after passing through the heating furnace H, the cutter is cut. Cut at C.

  In the heating furnace H, the first furnace Ha and the second furnace Hb are arranged from the lower side in the direction of passage of the material P. The 1st furnace Ha and the 2nd furnace Hb cover the surroundings of heating bodies Haa and Hba, such as an electric heater and a hot air generator, with heat insulating materials Hab and Hbb. The first furnace Ha is arranged such that the heating body Haa has an axial length corresponding to the length a on the one end side 1 and is close to the material P (having a hole diameter of about 1 mm). It heats with. The second furnace Hb is arranged so that the heating body Hba has an axial length corresponding to the length b on the other end 2 side and is separated from the material P (having a hole diameter of about 20 mm). It is heated at temperature.

  The material P is rotated by using the length c (see FIG. 3B), which is the sum of the length a on the one end side 1 and the length b on the other end 2 side, as the feed length. Driven into the heating furnace H. The material P is stopped inside the heating furnace H by stopping the rotation of the drawing roller R, and the material P is constant at different temperatures in the heating body Haa of the first furnace Ha and the heating body Hba of the second furnace Hb. It is heated over a period of time.

  Regarding the heating temperature and heating time of the material P (the stopping time of the material P), at the end 1 side, the low-melting polyester fiber, the high-melting polyester fiber, and the cotton fiber or vegetable fiber or animal fiber similar to cotton fiber Is melted completely, and in the part which becomes the other end side 2, the polyester fiber having a low melting point is incompletely fused with a low-melting polyester fiber and cotton fiber or vegetable fiber or animal fiber similar to cotton fiber. The fiber is set so as not to melt.

  The heat-treated material P is sent out of the heating furnace H by the above-mentioned length c feed length by the rotational drive of the drawing roller R again. In addition, when the part used as the other end part side 2 passes through the heating body Haa of the 1st furnace Ha, it can also avoid stopping the heating body Haa and heating more than necessary.

  The material P delivered to the outside of the heating furnace H is cut by the cutter C at a position where it passes through the drawing roller R. The cut length is a length c (length a + length b) which is a feed length.

  The material P heat-treated in the heating furnace H has a relatively small diameter and hard uniform structure in the portion that becomes the one end 1, and a relatively large diameter and soft in the portion that becomes the other end 2. It has a porous structure. Therefore, the one end 1 can be a guide portion for insertion into a relatively small diameter piercing hole. About the other end part side 2, it can be set as the cleaning part impregnated with disinfectant.

  According to this embodiment, there is no need for a manufacturing work for partially applying an adhesive to a rod-like body formed in an elongated shape like the cleaning tool for piercing holes according to Patent Document 1 to adhere and fix fibers and the like. Thus, since the material P is intermittently fed and heat-treated at different temperatures on the one end side 1 and the other end side 2, it can be manufactured inexpensively and easily. In particular, since it can be manufactured by a simple technique of adjusting the heating temperature, the manufacturing apparatus or the like is not complicated.

  Furthermore, even if this form is used, since the adhesive is not used, the adhesive is not eluted with the disinfectant unlike the cleaning tool for pierce holes according to Patent Document 1. Therefore, it can be used safely.

  As mentioned above, it is also possible to use synthetic fibers other than the polyester fiber besides the illustrated form.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to use a plurality of types of synthetic fibers including polyester fibers.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to use a plurality of types of plant fibers and animal fibers similar to cotton fibers or cotton fibers.

  The cleaning tool for piercing holes and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention can be used for cleaning precision parts in addition to cleaning the piercing holes.

  It is a perspective view of the best form for implementing the cleaning tool for piercing holes concerning the present invention.   It is a perspective view of the manufacturing apparatus used for the manufacturing method of the cleaning tool for piercing holes concerning the present invention.   It is an enlarged view of the principal part of FIG. 2, and the manufacturing process is shown in order of (A) and (B).   It is a flowchart of the work procedure of the manufacturing apparatus of FIG.
