Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment / detachment tool used when attaching / detaching a contact lens, and more particularly to a contact lens attachment / detachment tool that can be easily attached / detached even with a finger with a wearing nail, and a container for housing the attachment / detachment tool.

  While contact lenses have many advantages over eyeglasses in terms of function, they are not easy to use and have many restrictions because they put a lot of strain on the eyes associated with wearing them. That is, there are restrictions such as proper cleaning and disinfection, protection of wearing time, protection of expiration date, and sleep without wearing. In order to comply with such restrictions, it is necessary to repeatedly attach and detach the contact lens.

  However, a contact lens is curved in a spherical shape, is very thin and soft, and is difficult to handle. In general, a user wears a contact lens directly on the eye or removes it from the eye. However, this operation is very troublesome and requires considerable skill.

Therefore, as a device for easily attaching and detaching the contact lens, a technique has been proposed in which the contact lens is adsorbed and attached with a suction tool. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a device that attaches and detaches a contact lens on a flat surface at the tip of a nozzle by a suction force of an intake and exhaust tank. Further, Patent Document 2 proposes a device that bends the tip of a dropper and is provided with a suction cup so that the contact lens is sucked by the suction cup to be attached and detached.

  Although it is difficult to attach and detach the contact lens as described above, a phenomenon that has become more difficult nowadays has occurred.

  In other words, with the spread of nail art, fashion that decorates the fingernails by attaching them to the fingernails has become popular recently. However, it is difficult to attach or remove the contact lens with the false nail attached, and there is a risk of damaging the eyeball with the toe. In particular, since a soft lens is picked and removed by a fingertip, it is extremely difficult to attach and detach a contact lens with a false nail attached. As a second best measure, a method of bringing the finger in a direction parallel to the face and pinching it with the belly of the finger may be used, but this is not technically easy.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide a contact lens attachment / detachment tool that can be easily attached / detached even with a false nail attached, and further to provide a storage container that can hygienically store the attachment / detachment tool. To do.

  In order to solve the above problems, the contact lens attaching / detaching tool according to the present invention is formed of a rubber bag body that can be attached to a fingertip and has an opening on a side surface.

  Furthermore, the container which accommodates the said contact lens attachment / detachment provided the partition in the upper part of the box which has a watertight lid | cover, and also provided the recessed part with two different depths in the bottom part.

  How the present invention configured as described above has an effect of solving the problems will be outlined below with reference to the drawings.

  1 is a front view of the contact lens attaching / detaching tool, FIG. 2 is a right side view thereof, FIG. 3 is a bottom view thereof, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a use state.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the contact lens attaching / detaching tool 1 according to the present invention is a rubber bag body having an insertion port 3 for inserting a finger in the lower portion, and usually a thumb as shown in FIG. 4. The index finger 5 is inserted into the inner cavity for use. Since the fingertip is covered with the rubber bag body, even if the false nail 6 is used, the toe does not touch the eyeball 13 directly, that is, the contact lens 14 can be attached and detached without fear of damaging the eyeball 13. Is possible. Moreover, since it is made of rubber, the contact lens can be picked with a feel similar to that of the finger skin. Moreover, since the opening 2 is provided on the side surface, the degree of freedom of the joint of the finger wearing the attachment / detachment tool is increased, and even a very thin and soft contact lens can be easily picked and moved. It becomes.

  FIG. 5 is a front view of the detachable tool storage container according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is a right side view thereof, and FIG. 7 is a plan view thereof. In each drawing, the state in which the detachable tools 1 and 1 are stored is shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the storage container 8 according to the present invention has a partition wall 10 in the upper part and two recesses 11 and 11 in the lower part. Tools 1 and 1 can be accommodated together. Further, since the box has a watertight lid 9, it is possible to store the liquid inside the box without leaking. If the contact lens cleaning liquid is stored as the liquid to be stored, for example, the detachable tool 1 can be stored hygienically.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the preferred invention will be outlined.

  The contact lens attaching / detaching tool 1 according to the present invention has a finger-sack shape as shown in FIGS. That is, it is a bag having an insertion port 3 for putting a finger in the lower part, and an opening 2 is provided on the side surface. The opening 2 in the figure is formed in a heart shape, but this is only provided in such a shape in view of the fact that many nail lovers are young women, increasing the degree of freedom of the joint that is the original purpose. Any shape can be used as long as it contributes.

  Since the attachment / detachment tool 1 according to the present invention is normally used by being fitted to the thumb and forefinger, two types having the same diameter as the thumb and the same diameter as the index finger are a set. .

  As the material, rubber or soft synthetic resin can be used, but it is more preferable to use silicon rubber.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the contact lens attaching / detaching tool storage container 8 according to the present invention is a box-shaped resin container in which the thumb attaching / detaching tool 1 a and the index finger attaching / detaching tool 1 b are stored. Is possible. That is, the shape of the recess 11 provided in the bottom is deeper in the recess 11a for storing the thumb attachment / detachment tool 1a, and the recess 11b for storing the attachment / detachment tool 1b for the index finger is shallower.

  A partition wall 10 is provided over the upper long side of the box-shaped main body 12. The partition wall 10 is provided to support the stored attachments 1a and 1b.

  A lid 9 is attached to the main body 12 through a hinge 9a so as to be freely opened and closed. The lid 9 is provided so as to be watertight when the lid 9 is put on the main body 12.
