JP2011078488A - Nasal cavity plug for wearing inside nasal cavity - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nasal cavity plug for wearing inside a nasal cavity which is not disposable, shows sterilizing effects, and is inconspicuous in terms of the appearance to solve such a problem that wearing a mask for suppressing symptoms of hay fever or preventing influenza causes difficulty in breathing since both a nose and a mouth are blocked, causes inconvenience for conversations, causes eye glasses to fog up when wearing the eye glasses, is not good in terms of a sense of beauty since it hides a face, and is inconvenient because the mask is required to be discarded from a hygiene viewpoint. <P>SOLUTION: The nasal cavity plug for wearing inside a nasal cavity shows effects of reducing and preventing symptoms by forming a nasal cavity plug body which conforms to a shape of a nasal cavity of a Japanese and has a ventilation hole filled with a filter of an ultrafine fiber of rigid copper to catch and inactivate pollen, suspended substances in air, viruses, or the like causing hay fever or influenza by sterilizing effects of a weak potential difference of the copper fiber and is repeatedly used in a clean state since a medical silicon rubber is used for the body so that the nasal cavity plug is subjected to boiling sterilization. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

    This invention pays attention to the bactericidal action of copper, and when air passes through the ultra-fine fiber of hard copper, it is generated from copper fiber when bacteria, viruses and pollen in the air come into contact with the copper fiber or pass through the space between the fibers. It belongs to the field that contributes to health that can reduce the symptoms of hay fever by making it inactivated by a weak potential difference or make it difficult to get influenza, and by using medical silicone rubber, etc. This is a nasal plug that can be boiled and disinfected and can be used repeatedly.

The conventional technology prevents airborne substances and cedar, cypress, ragweed and other pollen from entering the nasal cavity, which are presumed to cause hay fever by a general mask. It was covered with a mask.
In addition, these masks are not hygienic to use repeatedly, and strict management is required for disposables, which is uneconomical.

JP 2005-287630 A In the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-239047, the filter itself has no bactericidal effect, and the nasal cavity is blocked so that it is difficult to breathe. The invention described in Patent Document 2 is characterized by using a porous membrane made of a hydrophobic resin, but it is contrary to the removal of fine particles, viruses and pollen in the air and other than the filter. After breathing through the space, clogging occurred and it was difficult to perform the effect and it could not be reused.

  Wearing a mask to prevent flu in the prevention of hay fever will block both the nose and mouth, and breathing is difficult, conversation is inconvenient, and people wearing glasses also have cloudy problems, hiding the human phase In addition, it is not good from an aesthetic sense, and strict disposal is required for each use.

  When the mask is worn, pollen and viruses will invade through the gap unless they are brought into close contact with the skin, and the effect is limited.

  The present invention solves problems such as breathlessness and inability to speak when wearing a mask, and provides a nasal plug for wearing a nasal cavity that can be used repeatedly after being captured, inactivated, washed and repeatedly pollen and virus. Objective.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the nasal plug for wearing the nasal cavity of the present invention is formed of medical silicone rubber so as to match the shape of the Japanese nasal cavity.

  The molded nasal plug is as shown in FIG. 1, but the portion T in FIG. 3 is slightly higher than the shape of the nasal cavity to widen the nasal cavity to increase the inflow of air and facilitate nasal breathing.

  The portion 3 in FIG. 1 is a vent hole opened in the nasal plug, and the amount of air inflow is adjusted by stuffing hard copper ultrafine fibers configured in a nonwoven fabric into the inside thereof, Viruses can be captured and inactivated by a weak potential difference generated from copper fibers.

  As an example, the ultrafine fiber of hard copper of the present invention having a diameter of 20 microns to 100 microns and commercialized as “Kapron Co., Ltd. Esco product” can be given as an example.

  The nasal plug of the present invention captures and inactivates pollen and viruses by the effect of hard copper ultrafine fibers filled therein, thereby exhibiting a bactericidal effect that could not be realized with conventional masks.

  In the mask, conversation is inconvenient and the aesthetic sense is not good, but in the present invention, it is not noticeable by using unemployed silicone rubber for the main body, it looks more beautiful with a shape molded slightly higher than the nasal cavity I can do it.

  The medical silicone rubber used in the present invention has durability up to 200 ° C., and after normal use, it can be repeatedly used after boiling and disinfection with hard copper ultrafine fibers as a filter.

  When the surface of hard copper ultra-fine fibers filled inside as a filter is oxidized and the effect is weakened, the initial effect can be exhibited again by washing and reducing with a weakly acidic liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar.

  Therefore, by using the nasal plug of the present invention, inconveniences and inconveniences caused by wearing a mask can be eliminated, the symptoms of hay fever can be reduced, and it can be used for the prevention of influenza.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a nasal plug formed of medical silicone rubber is formed so as to substantially match the size of each Japanese nasal cavity.

  The dimensions are designed by changing the size according to the width W and depth D shown in FIG. 2 and the height T shown in FIG.

  The cross-linked portion indicated by 2 in FIG. 2 is processed with the same transparent medical silicon or medical stainless steel wire as the main body.

  The ultrafine fiber of hard copper that fills the air holes 3 in Fig. 1 is randomly laminated with a diameter of 40 microns and a length of about 70 mm to form a non-woven fabric, which is cut into an appropriate size. Then, the air holes are filled and compressed.

  Nasal plugs made of medical silicone rubber were molded in 15 different sizes with a difference of about 1 mm.

  The size of the nasal plugs is about W16mmD8mmT7mm to W30mmD17mmT18mm, and the average size of Japanese adult women is W24mmD14mmT14mm. Designed to raise.

  The hard copper ultrafine fiber is 40 microns in diameter and 70 mm long, laminated randomly to a thickness of about 1 mm, cut into a square of 14 mm x 25 mm, rounded to a length of 14 mm and ventilated in the nasal plug After being filled in, it was compressed and fixed to about 75% of the ventilation holes with a plastic rod or the like.

  Before inserting the nasal plug into the nasal cavity, the inside of the nasal cavity can be sterilized and disinfected by allowing the copper ions dissolved from the surface to flow into the nasal cavity by moistening the ultrafine fibers of hard copper with a spray or the like. The effect was improved by increasing the potential difference on the surface of the fiber.

  After use, the nasal plugs were sterilized by boiling and disinfecting the copper fiber together with the main body, and the pollen and viruses attached by washing with running water were completely removed to return to a clean and highly effective state.

  In this way, even if it is used in a clean state every day, if the effect of the oxide film is reduced on the surface of the copper fiber, the oxide film is reduced by soaking in a weakly acidic liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar. Was able to reproduce the original effect.

  It is also effective as a device that can enjoy a personal odor even outdoors or in an office space by filling a perfume used for aromatherapy between the copper fibers filled in the ventilation holes.
