Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent formation of a gap from the beginning between a concavely curved surface formed in a cleaner head and a sheet for covering the same, thus making it less likely for tongue coating to accumulate therebetween.SOLUTION: A head 1 is provided with a first sheet on a face of the head 1 formed with a concavely curved surface 11. The sheet is fixed to a lateral side 1A of the head 1, thereby enabling the sheet opposed to the concavely curved surface 11 to be slidable thereon. After arranging a sheet material 5B on the concavely curved surface 11 with the head 1 being in a single-piece state as a component of the tongue cleaner, the sheet material 5B is pressed against the concavely curved surface 11 by means of a lower mold 14 and an upper mold 15 to be formed into a curved surface so as to allow the sheet to be attached in close contact with the concavely curved surface 11. Accordingly, no gap is formed between the sheet material 5B and the concavely curved surface 11. Consequently, tongue coating becomes less likely to accumulate between the sheet material 5B and the concavely curved surface 11, permitting a good sanitary condition to be kept.

The upper die 15 is provided with pressing means 21 such as a press mechanism.

  Then, on the concave portion 18 for forming the curved curved surface of the lower mold 14, a sheet material 5B made of a flat pile for forming the sheet 5 with the fibers 13 facing downward, and the head portion with the convex curved surface 9 facing downward. 1. It is made of a flat pile for forming the curved concave sheet 4, and after the sheet materials 4B with the fibers 13 facing upward are stacked in order, the pressing means 21 is operated to change the upper mold 15 into the lower mold 14. 7, the sheet material 5B, the head portion 1 and the sheet material 4B are in a state in which pressure is applied between the convex curved surface forming concave portion 18 and the concave curved surface molding convex portion 17 as shown in FIG. The sheet material 4B is sandwiched between the concave curved surface forming convex portion 17 and the concave curved surface 11, and is formed into a curved surface so that a valley is formed in the longitudinal direction so as to follow the concave curved surface 11. A concave sheet 4 is formed. Further, the sheet material 5B is sandwiched between the convex curved surface forming concave portion 18 and the convex curved surface 9 and is formed in a curved shape so that a peak portion is formed in the longitudinal direction so as to follow the convex curved surface 9. A sheet 5 is formed. Further, the edges 4A and 5A of the sheets 4 and 5 are abutted and joined at the side surface 1A of the head portion 1, and the outside of the joined edges is cut.

  Then, by opening the mold and opening the dividing surface 16, the head unit 1, the curved concave sheet 4, and the curved convex sheet 5 are taken out. In the head portion 1, the concavely curved sheet 11 is in close contact with the concavely curved surface 11 or has a slight gap, and the sheet 4 is fixed to the concavely curved surface 11. The sheet 4 can slide slightly with respect to the concave curved surface 11 without any problem. Further, the convex curved surface 9 is in close contact with the convexly curved sheet 5 or has a slight gap, and the sheet 5 and the convex curved surface 9 are not fixed. It can slide a little with respect to the convex curved surface 9.

  Next, the hook-shaped grip portion 2 and the ring portion 6 are molded by the injection mold shown in FIGS. The molding by the injection molding die is to integrally mold the hook-shaped grip portion 2, the neck portion 3 and the ring portion 6 with the head 1 integrated with the sheets 4 and 5 as a nest. The molding die for this purpose includes a lower mold 22 that can be contacted and separated, and an upper mold 23 that is formed on the dividing surface 24 of the lower mold 22 and the upper mold 23 so as to be halved. A cavity 25 as a molding space is formed by forming a ring part molding part 25C via a neck part molding part 25B at the front of the bowl-shaped gripping part molding part 25A, and is formed in advance inside the ring part molding part 25C. A mounting portion 25D of the head portion 1 is formed by integrating the sheets 4 and 5 being integrated. The placement portion 25D is formed in the same shape as the concave curved surface 11 so that the concave sheet 4 integrated with the head 1 can be engaged. Note that the cavity 25 of the upper mold 15 facing the mounting portion 25D is formed in the same shape as the convex curved surface 9. Further, a molten resin supply port 25E is formed at the end of the bowl-shaped gripping part molding part 25A.

  Therefore, the mold is closed in a state where the head part 1 is installed with the sheet 4 on the lower side and the sheet 5 on the upper side on the placing part 25D on the upper surface of the lower mold 22 for molding while the mold for injection molding is open. The molten resin supplied from the supply port 25E is filled into the bowl-shaped gripping part molding part 25A, the neck part molding part 25B, and the ring part molding part 25C. At this time, the molten resin filled in the ring portion molding portion 25C comes into contact with the side surface 1A of the head, so that the ring portion 6 is externally fitted to the side surface 1A of the head portion 1 via the edges 4A and 5A of the sheets 4 and 5. Thus, the head portion 1 can be fixed inside the ring portion 6. As shown in FIG. 12, which will be described later, the head unit 1 may be installed on the mounting unit 25D with the sheet 4 on the upper side and the sheet 5 on the lower side.

  Then, after cooling molding, the mold is opened and the product is taken out. In this product, the concave curved surface 11 is closely attached to the concave curved surface 11 or has a slight gap, but the sheet 4 is fixed to the concave curved surface 11. The sheet 4 can slide slightly with respect to the concave curved surface 11 without being done. Similarly, a curved convex sheet 5 formed into a convex curved shape is in close contact with the convex curved surface 9 or has a slight gap, and the sheet 5 is curved without being fixed to the convex curved surface 9. The sheet-like sheet 5 can slide slightly with respect to the convex curved surface 9.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the head 5 is put into the mouth and the head 5 is put into the mouth and used in a convex portion such as a corner of the tongue 8, the sheet 4 on the concave curved surface 11 side faces downward. 1 is applied to the tongue 8 and the tongue coating is scraped off. At this time, the sheet 4 on the outer side of the concave curved surface 11 of the head portion 1 can slide a little without a gap, so even if a somewhat large force is applied to the bowl-shaped gripping portion 2, the force is applied to the head portion 1. Is not immediately transmitted to the sheet 4 and the force is relieved by sliding, so that the possibility of damaging the tongue 8 can be reduced. In addition, since the sheet 4 is slidably closely contacted with the concave curved surface 11 in advance, there is no gap between the sheet 4 and the concave curved surface 11, thereby reducing the possibility that moss will accumulate. can do.

  In addition, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, the sheet 5 on the convex curved surface 9 side is used in a place where the tongue 8 has a depression. At this time, since the curved convex sheet 5 on the outside of the convex curved surface 9 of the head portion 1 can be somewhat slid, even if a somewhat large force is applied to the bowl-shaped gripping portion 2, the force is applied to the head portion. 1 is not immediately transmitted to the sheet 5, and the force is relieved by sliding, so that the possibility of damaging the tongue 8 can be reduced.

  After use, the head unit 1 is washed with water and dried.

  As described above, in the embodiment, the head portion 1 is provided with the first sheet 4 on the surface of the head portion 1 on which the concave curved surface 11 is formed, and the sheet 4 is formed on the side surface 1A of the head portion 1. By being fixed, the sheet 4 facing the concave curved surface 11 can slide, and the second sheet 5 is provided on the surface of the head portion 1 on which the convex curved surface 9 is formed. Since the sheet 5 facing the convex curved surface 9 can be slid by being fixed on the side surface 1A of the head portion 1, the sheets 4 and 5 are in soft contact with the tongue 8, and are strong against the bowl-shaped grip portion 2. Even if force is applied, the sheets 4 and 5 can be relieved by sliding. Further, by forming the sheet 4 in close contact with the concave curved surface 11, the sheet 4 and the concave curved surface are formed. 11 forms a close contact or a slight gap between them A large gap is not formed, and therefore the tongue coating scraped between the sheet 4 and the concave curved surface 11 is difficult to accumulate, and can be kept hygienic.

  Further, in the manufacturing method, the sheet material 4B of the sheet 4 applied to the concave curved surface 11 is pressed toward the concave curved surface 11, so that the sheet material 4B is brought into close contact with the concave curved surface 11 or a slight gap is formed. Since it was made to do, the sheet | seat 4 can be formed correctly. At the same time, the sheet material 5B of the sheet 5 applied to the convex curved surface 9 is pressed by the lower die 14 and the upper die 15 toward the convex curved surface 9 so as to be in close contact with the convex curved surface 9 or have a slight gap. Therefore, the sheet 5 can be formed accurately as well.

  Further, after the material 4B of the sheet 4 is arranged on the concave curved surface 11 with the head portion 1 in a single state which is a component state of the tongue coating cleaning tool, the material 4B of the sheet 4 is pressed toward the concave curved surface 11 and the sheet 4 is pressed. By forming a curved surface that is in close contact with the concave curved surface 11 and providing a ring portion 6 integral with the hook-shaped gripping portion 2 on the side surface 1A of the head portion 1, and fixing the sheet 4 on the side surface 1A of the head portion 1. The sheet 4 can be accurately brought into close contact with the concave curved surface 11 of the single head portion 1 or can be attached so that a slight gap is formed. Further, after the material 5B of the sheet 5 is arranged on the convex curved surface 9 in a state where the head portion 1 is a single piece, the material 4B of the sheet 5 is pressed by the lower die 14 and the upper die 15 toward the convex curved surface 9 to obtain a single piece. The sheet 5 can be accurately brought into close contact with the convex curved surface 9 of the head portion 1 or can be formed so as to have a slight gap.

  Other embodiments will be described below. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the said Example 1, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  10 to 12, unlike the first embodiment, the lower mold 14 is formed with a concave curved surface molding convex portion 17, and the upper mold 15 is formed with a convex curved surface molding concave portion 18. Further, in the injection mold, the mounting portion 25D of the lower mold 22 is formed in the same shape as the convex curved surface 9, and the concave surface 11 is formed in the cavity 25 facing the mounting portion 25D of the upper molding die 23. It is formed in the same shape.

  And on the convex part 17 for the concave curved surface molding of the lower mold 14, it is made of a flat pile fabric for forming the curved concave sheet 4, and the sheet material 4 B with the fiber 13 facing downward, and the convex curved surface 9 faces upward. After stacking the head portion 1 and the sheet material 5B with the fibers 13 facing upward, the pressing means 21 is operated to press the upper die 15 against the lower die 14, and the sheets 4, 5 are moved to the head 1. Are integrated in the same manner as in the first embodiment with a slight gap.

  Further, the head 1 with the sheet 5 facing downward and the sheet 4 facing upward is placed on the placing portion 25D, and the mold is closed to mold the hook-shaped gripping portion 2, the neck portion 3 and the ring portion 6. To do. As shown in FIG. 9, the concave curved surface 11 may be placed on the placement portion 25D and molded.

  FIG. 13 shows a third embodiment, and the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In Example 3, the flat surface of the head portion 1 ′ is circular, and the ring portion 6 ′ is arranged on the side surface 1 ′ A of the circular head portion 1 ′. In the third embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, in the first embodiment, the cloth is a loop pile cloth that is a multifilament yarn in which a plurality of filaments overlap each other, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the pile cloth. In the case of a pile woven fabric, a part of the warp (pile yarn 31, ground warp) (pile yarn 31) is woven with a ring-shaped ring 33 protruding as a linear material on the surface of the pile main body 32. Therefore, this pile thread ring 33 is entangled with the tongue moss and easily causes tongue moss, and it is easy to scrape off the tongue moss and becomes more effective. An infinite number of pile yarn loops 33 protruding in a ring shape on the surface of the pile woven main body 32 are attached to the head portion 1 in a direction crossing the plane of the head portion 1 (preferably orthogonal), When the head portion 1 pressed against is moved forward and backward with the longitudinal direction as the moving direction Z, countless piles 33 of pile yarns, which are warps floating on the surface of the pile main body 32, are entangled with the tongue coating and cause tongue coating. It will be easier to scrape off. For this reason, the pile yarn ring 33 includes a pair of left and right or front and rear rising protrusions 34 and 35 rising from the ground main body 32 side at an interval L, and between the ends of the pair of protrusions 34 and 35. , And has an erection part 36 that projects the substantially central part 36A in an arc shape toward the front. Reference numeral 37 denotes a weft. The direction of the interval L between the projecting portions 34 and 35 intersects the moving direction Z, and is orthogonal in the embodiment.

  Further, in the ring 33, the concave portion 38, the convex portion 39, the concave portion 38, the convex portion 39,... Are repeatedly formed in a wave shape along the longitudinal direction of the ring 33. Such concave portions 38 and convex portions 39 may be part of the ring 33 instead of the full length.

  Therefore, when the head portion 1 is put into the mouth and the tongue portion is used in a place where the tongue is depressed, the ring 33 falls down along the surface of the tongue by applying the ring 33 to the tongue. It scrapes off the plaque of tongue coating. On the other hand, when gripping the hook-shaped gripping part and putting the head part 1 in the mouth and using it on a convex part such as the corner of the tongue, the concave curved surface faces downward and the tongue coating is scraped with the pile thread 31 wheel 33. Scraping like taking.

  Thus, when the ring 33 is moved in the movement direction Z and the tongue paste is scraped off by the ring 33, for example, the tongue papilla 40 enters the ring 33, and the construction part 36 of the ring 33 moves to the tongue papilla 40. When hooked, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 15, the concave portion 38, convex portion 39, concave portion 38, and convex portion 39 of the ring 33 serve as a cushion by linearly extending from the corrugated shape, The erection part 36 of the ring 33 slides with respect to the lingual nipple 40, and the erection part 36 can rub through the lingual nipple 40 in the meantime. The risk of the ring 33 damaging the lingual papillae 44 due to this rubbing can be reduced.

  And as a manufacturing method which forms the recessed part 38 and the convex part 39 along the longitudinal direction in the ring | wheel 33, the loop-like fiber 13 in the state of the fabric before attaching to the head part 1 like FIG. A rotating brush (not shown) or the like is pressed to perform plastic working so as to form irregularities on the fibers 13. That is, the fiber is deformed to exceed the elastic limit by applying a pressure such as a rotating brush, and processed so that the strain remains as it is even when the pressure is removed. What was processed in this way is attached to the head unit 1 as described above.

  As described above, the fourth embodiment is a tongue coating cleaning tool in which a plurality of rings 33 are protruded as a linear member on the head portion 1, and the rings 33 are first and second protrusions with a distance L therebetween. A bridge portion 36 is provided between the tip ends of the pipes 34 and 35. The first and second protrusion portions 34 and 35 and the bridge portion 36 are provided with a concave portion 38 and a convex portion 39 along the longitudinal direction of the ring 33. When the ring 33 is caught on the tongue papilla 40 by forming it into a mold, the ring 33 is pulled and the concave portion 38 and the convex portion 39 extend linearly, so that the ring 33 is forced out of the tongue papilla 40. Therefore, it is possible to rub through the lingual papillae 40 and reduce the risk of damaging the lingual papillae 40.

  In addition, since the substantially central portion 36A in the longitudinal direction of the erection part 36 is formed in an arc shape projecting forward, when the tongue papilla 40 is positioned at the end of the erection part 36, the ring 33 is formed on the tongue. When the tongue papilla 40 is moved relatively to the substantially central portion 36A of the erection part 36, the length that the ring 33 is worn through the tongue papilla 40 can be increased, and the tongue papilla 40 is not damaged. The ring 33 can be worn through.

  Furthermore, by providing a concave portion 38 and a convex portion 39 along the longitudinal direction of the ring 33 in all of the first projecting portion 34 and the second projecting portion 35, the erection portion 36, and forming a wave shape, The rate at which the concave portion 38 and convex portion 39 are linear and the ring 33 extends is increased as much as possible. As a result, the length that the ring 33 can be worn through the tongue papilla 40 can be increased, and the tongue papilla 40 is not damaged. The ring 33 can be worn through.

  Moreover, by forming the loop 33 as a loop pile, the ring 33 is pressed against the tongue surface with an appropriate elasticity, and can be used without damaging the tongue surface.

  In addition, as a method of forming the concave portion 38 and the convex portion 39 in the ring 33 in the manufacturing method, plastic processing is performed by pressing a rotating brush or the like on the loop-like fiber so as to form irregularities on the fiber. Can be manufactured.

  16 and 17 show Example 5 and show a case where a pile cloth is improved. The linear member 41 includes a pair of first projecting portions 34, a second projecting portion 35, and Of the erection part 36 ′ that forms an overhanging part disposed between the tips, the continuity is eliminated in either the first projecting part 34 or the second projecting part 35, In the embodiment, by forming a cut 42 on the tip side of the second projecting portion 35, the first projecting portion 34 and the erection portion 36 'are continuously formed in an inverted J shape, and the second projection The installation part 35 is formed in a straight line. In addition, since there is a possibility that the first projecting portion 34 and the second projecting portion 35 may be frayed by making the cut 42, the ground main body 32 has a gap such as adhesion and welding to prevent fraying. It is preferable to provide stop means (not shown).

  Then, as a manufacturing method for making the cut line 42 in the ring 33, for example, a cutter or the like is pressed against the loop-like fiber 13 in the fabric state before being attached to the head portion 1 as shown in FIG. Is formed. What was processed in this way is attached to the head unit 1 as described above.

  Therefore, the plurality of linear members 41 projecting from the cleaning tool main body intersect the first longitudinal direction 43 of the projecting portion 34 at the front end side of the projecting portion 34 so that the second longitudinal direction 44 is lateral. An overhanging portion 36 'serving as an overhanging portion is provided at the top, and a tip 45 of the overhanging portion 36' is formed at the free end. A substantially central portion 36'A in the longitudinal direction 44 of the overhanging portion 36 'is formed in an arc shape projecting forward, and the tip 45 side of the overhanging portion 36' is folded back toward the head portion 1. As a whole, it is formed in an inverted J shape. The width direction between the projecting portion 41 and the tip 45 side is formed to be orthogonal to the moving direction Z.

  In the manufacturing method, the cut 45 is formed by applying cutting means (not shown) such as a knife to the upper end of the second protruding portion 35 in the loop-shaped fiber.

  Therefore, when the gripping portion is gripped, the head is put in the mouth, the head is applied to the tongue and moved along the movement direction Z, the linear material 41 falls down along the surface of the tongue, and the tongue coating is removed from the linear material 41. It is scraped off so as to be scraped off by the laterally extending portion 36 '.

  Thus, when the tongue coating is moved and scraped in the movement direction Z by the linear material 41, for example, the tongue papilla 46 enters the overhanging portion 36 ′, and the overhanging portion 36 ′ is caught by the tongue papilla 17. 14, the first longitudinal direction 42 and the second longitudinal direction are such that the cantilever-like overhanging portion 36 ′ is along the first longitudinal direction 42 by the tongue papillary 46 as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 14. As a result, it is possible to prevent the tip 45, which is a free end, from slipping out of the tongue papilla 46 and damaging the tongue papilla 46.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the linear member 41 is provided with the longitudinal direction of the projecting portion 36 ′ in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction 42 of the projecting portion 41 on the distal end side of the projecting portion 41 and the projecting portion 41. By forming the tip 45 of 36 ′ at the free end, when the overhanging portion 36 ′ is caught by the tongue papilla 44, the overhanging portion 36 ′ is pulled by the tongue papilla 44 and the first longitudinal direction 42 of the protruding portion 41 is obtained. By deforming the overhanging portion 36 ′ so as to follow, the overhanging portion 36 ′ can be scraped off from the tongue nipple 44 and the risk of damaging the tongue nipple 44 can be reduced.

  Further, when the longitudinal direction 43 of the projecting portion 36 ′ is provided laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction 42 of the projecting portion 41 and the head part 1 is moved to clean the tongue coating, the projecting portion 36 ′ Since it becomes sideways, it can be scraped off without missing the tongue coating.

  Further, since the tip 45 side of the overhanging portion 36 ′ is formed to be folded back toward the head portion 1, when cleaning the tongue coating by moving the cleaning tool body in the movement direction Z, the overhanging portion 36 ′ is overhanging in the movement direction Z. Since the portion 36 ′ is turned sideways and the tip 45 side is folded back, the dirt can be more reliably scraped off so as to wrap the tongue coating by the projecting portion 41, the overhanging portion 36 ′, and the folded tip 45 side.

  Moreover, by forming the substantially central portion 36′A in the longitudinal direction 43 of the overhang portion 36 ′ into an arc shape projecting forward, the tongue nipple 44 is temporarily located at the end of the installation portion 36 ′. When the linear member 18 is moving with respect to the tongue, the tongue papilla 17 can move relatively to the substantially central portion 36'A of the overhanging portion 22 so that the overhanging portion 36 'can be scraped from the tongue papilla 44. Thus, the linear material 41 can be rubbed through without damaging the lingual papillae 44.

  In Example 6 shown in FIG. 18, the contents of Example 5 and the contents of Example 6 are combined, and among the projecting portions 34 and 35 of the ring 33 in which the concave portion 38 and the convex portion 39 are continuously provided. Cuts 42 are formed in either one of them, and the tip 45 on the construction part 36 side that forms the overhanging part is a free end.

  Therefore, when the ring 33 is hooked on the lingual papillae, the concave portion 38 and the convex portion 39 extend to serve as a cushion, and the tip 45 that is a free end is also deformed to the opposite side to the moving direction of the head portion, It can prevent further damage to the lingual papillae.

  In Example 7 shown in FIG. 19, a J-shaped linear member 51 that is upside down is protruded from the head portion 1. The linear material 51 may be formed of animal hair such as horses and pigs in addition to the synthetic resin.

  Therefore, when the linear material 51 is caught on the tongue papilla, the distal end side of the linear material 51 is pulled by the tongue papilla and deformed, so that the possibility of rubbing from the tongue papilla and damaging the tongue papilla can be reduced. The effect of.
