JP2016211127A - Portable tube body for preventing direct contact - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tube body capable of performing operation without direct contact of a palm at a time of opening/closing a door or touching an illumination switch.SOLUTION: A flat tube body 1 causing a slit 4 to be swollen when both side faces of the flat tube body are pressed and having elasticity includes an elastic projecting body 2 arranged at a tip of the flat tube body having elasticity and being a tip projecting body opened at a tip when the slit of the tube body is swollen. When thin both side faces of the tube body are pressed with fingers, the slits of the tube body and the tip projecting body are swollen. When a door having a lever handle is opened or closed, the lever handle is inserted through the opened tube body and gripped, thereby operation of a lever can be performed without no direct contact.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

The present invention relates to an article in which there are many opportunities to grab an object with a hand or decide an object by touch operation in daily life, and an indirect grip can be performed instead of a direct grip, and an indirect touch can be performed instead of a direct touch.

Conventionally, there is a glove (palm cover) as one of the items to prevent direct contact with an object touched by the hand. A method is also adopted in which a cover is attached to the contacting object to avoid direct contact.

  Gloves are often used as part of ongoing work. Wearing and removing gloves can be cumbersome if the contact object ends in a few seconds. Also, it is troublesome to use gloves every time you hold the door knob in winter, where static electricity is likely to occur. If bacteria or viruses are attached to the parts that are in contact with bare hands, the chain of infection will continue unless you wash your hands each time. In everyday life, palms come in contact with various objects, so it is difficult to remove and replace gloves. In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention does not take replacement means and can avoid direct contact with an object in contact.

In order to achieve the above object, a stretchable flat tube body is provided.
An elastic flat projection is provided at the tip of the tube body.
The present invention is a flat tube body configured as described above, which can cope with an object to be contacted without directly contacting the object.

  When using the present invention, hold the thin side of the tube body with your fingers. When pressed, the slits of the tube body and tip protrusion will swell. To open and close the door with the lever handle, hold the lever handle through the open tube body. The lever can be operated without touching it directly. When pressing the switch, press the switch button on the open tip protrusion. Automatic ticket vending machines and cash withdrawal machines can also be used with this operation. After use, stop pressing on both sides and return to a flat tube body. The part where the tube body contacts the contact object is limited to the inner part of the tube body. When you return to the flat tube body, the contacted part does not appear on the outer surface, so there is no contact with the inside of the tube body even if you carry it.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(B) The elastic tip projection (2) is joined to the elastic tube body (1), and the tube body is provided with two holes (3).
The present invention has the above configuration.
When using the present invention, swell both sides of the tube body with the finger in the configuration of (a). When opening and closing a door with a lever handle, hold it through the lever handle in the bulging tube body. Touch the switch by touching the open tip protrusion.
