Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nostril depilatory stick which prevents the tip from being excessively inserted in the nostril, wax from being applied to much and the applied wax from dripping down.SOLUTION: In a position closer to a tip between the tip and the rear end of a stick body 11, a flange part 12 which contacts the hole edge of the nostril while the tip of the stick body 11 is inserted into the nostril, provides an index of the application range while the wax is applied on the tip of the stick body 11 and supports the wax applied on the tip of the stick body 11 from the bottom. The flange part 12 serves as a stopper, the tip of the stick body 11 is prevented from being inserted deep into the nostril and the nostril mucosa is prevented from being damaged. The flange part 12 serves as an index and the wax is prevented from being applied even to the position uninvolved in the depilation behind the flange part 12 of the stick body 11. The wax applied to the stick body 11 does not drip down because of the support of the flange part 12 and the labor of reapplication is saved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a nostril hair removal stick.
Specifically, the present invention relates to a stick for applying the wax, which is used when hair is removed from the nostril with wax.

  As in Patent Document 1, the wax softened by heating is applied to the body surface, and the wax is peeled off from the applied body surface in a state of being naturally cooled and solidified, whereby the hair is removed from the body surface together with the wax. A hair removal method for detachment is known.

This type of wax is also used for hair removal in the nostrils. At that time, since it is not easy to peel off the wax solidified in the nostril with a finger, an attempt has been made to use a stick together with the wax.
Specifically, an appropriate amount of softened wax is applied to the tip of the stick, inserted into the nostril, and after the wax has solidified, the stick is pulled to remove the tip from the nostril and stick to the tip. At the same time, the wax is removed from the nostrils.

JP-A-61-189212

  However, as a conventional nostril hair removal stick, existing elongated articles such as disposable chopsticks are often diverted, and no specially devised items have been used.

As described above, the conventional nostril hair removal stick does not have a mechanism for restricting the insertion depth of the tip of the nostril into the nostril, so that it may be excessively inserted deep into the nostril.
Thus, if the stick is inserted excessively, the tip of the nose will hit the inner wall of the nostril and damage the mucous membrane. Hair removal near the entrance may be insufficient.

In addition, since the conventional nostril hair removal stick has no indication of how much wax should be applied to the stick, psychologically trying to avoid inadequate hair removal. It tends to be applied excessively until it reaches the rear end beyond the required amount.
Thus, it is useless to use a large amount of wax in excess of the necessary amount, and unnecessary cost is required for the excess amount of the wax at the time of hair removal.

Furthermore, although the wax before cooling and solidification has a relatively high fluidity, the conventional nostril hair removal stick to which the wax is applied has no mechanism for supporting the wax, so that the wax is in hand when inserted into the nostril of the stick. Sometimes it hangs down to the side.
In this way, if the wax hangs down from the place where the stick is applied, the amount of the wax introduced into the nostril becomes insufficient as it is, and the hair removal effect may not be sufficiently obtained. It takes time and effort to reapply.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent the tip of the nostril stick from being excessively inserted into the nostril, excessive application of wax, and dripping of the applied wax. That is.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the nostril hair removal stick of the present invention is composed of a stick body and a buttocks.
The stick body is configured such that the rear end can be pinched with a finger and the front end can be inserted into the nostril, and a hair removal wax can be applied to the front end.
In addition, the heel portion is formed between the front end portion and the rear end portion of the stick main body, and when the front end portion of the stick main body is inserted into the nostril, it abuts against the hole edge of the nostril, and wax is applied to the front end portion of the stick main body. In this case, the wax is applied to the tip of the stick main body from below and serves as an index of the application range when applying.

  In the nostril hair removal stick of the present invention, the heel portion is preferably formed at a position of 5 to 15 mm from the tip of the stick body. Moreover, it is preferable that a collar part is a disk shape and the diameter of the disk is 10-20 mm.

Since the nostril hair removal stick according to the present invention is configured as described above, when the tip of the stick body is inserted into the nostril, the buttocks abut against the edge of the nostril, and the tip further extends beyond the nostril. It is prevented from being inserted into the part.
For this reason, the tip part does not enter the inner part of the nostril and damage the mucous membrane of the nostril, and the hair removal near the nostril entrance does not become insufficient.

  In addition, when applying heat-softened wax to the tip of the stick body, the heel part serves as an index of the application range, so the wax is applied to a position where the hair removal effect is not expected from the heel part closer to the rear end part. This can prevent waste.

In addition, when the heat softened wax is applied to the tip of the stick body, the heel supports the wax from below when trying to insert the tip into the nostril with the tip facing upward. The dripping is prevented.
Therefore, the wax applied to the stick body can be effectively used, and the trouble of re-applying the wax as much as dripping can be saved.

  If the buttock is formed at a position of 5 to 15 mm from the tip of the stick body, the tip of the stick body stays near the entrance of the nostril when the nostril is inserted. Can be fully removed. Moreover, it can prevent reliably that the front-end | tip part of a stick main body strikes against the inner wall of the back part of a nostril.

  If the heel portion is a disk shape and the diameter of the disk is 10 to 20 mm, it will be large enough to securely contact the edge of the nostril when inserted into the nostril at the tip of the stick body. Also, when the wax applied to the tip of the stick body is about to drip, the size becomes large enough to be received.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The nostril hair removal stick 10 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a stick body 11 and a heel part 12.
As the nostril hair removal stick 10 of the embodiment, in consideration of hygiene, etc., it is assumed that it is a disposable type that is mainly discarded when the hair removal operation is completed, but it is formed so that it can be washed and used repeatedly. It is good to endure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stick body 11 is formed in an elongated shape so that the distal end portion 11 a can be inserted into the nostril N by pinching the rear end portion 11 b with a finger.
In the figure, the stick main body 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the thickness thereof is easy to pick with a finger and can be easily inserted into the nostril N.
Specific examples of the diameter of the stick body 11 include 3 to 6 mm. A more preferable diameter of the stick body 11 is 4 to 5 mm in consideration of ease of insertion, ease of application of wax, and the like.

The stick body 11 has a length that is easy to operate by pinching with a finger.
A specific example of the length of the stick body 11 is that the total length is 50 to 80 mm. A more preferable length of the stick body 11 is 60 to 70 mm in total length in consideration of handling convenience.
Further, the tip portion 11a of the stick body 11 has a diameter that gradually decreases toward the tip, and the tip (the most advanced) is formed in a rounded shape. Thereby, when inserting the front-end | tip part 11a of the stick main body 11 into the nostril N, it is easy to insert without being caught and the mucous membrane of the nostril N is not damaged.
The material of the stick body 11 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include plastic, metal, and wood. However, the stick body 11 is preferably made of plastic because it is lightweight, inexpensive, and has a certain level of heat resistance.

As shown in FIG. 1, the flange portion 12 is formed at a location adjacent to the distal end portion 11 a between the distal end portion 11 a and the rear end portion 11 b of the stick main body 11.
The formation position of the heel part 12 is such that the distance from the tip (leading edge) of the stick body 11 to the heel part 12 is smaller than the distance from the entrance of the nostril N to the back of the nostril N in the average human body. Has been adjusted.
Specifically, it can be illustrated that the collar portion 12 is formed at a position of 5 to 15 mm from the tip (most advanced) of the stick body 11. A more preferable position for forming the collar portion 12 is 8 to 12 mm from the tip (most advanced) of the stick body 11.

In the drawing, the collar portion 12 has a disk shape, and is large enough to contact the edge of the nostril N when the tip portion 11 a of the stick body 11 is inserted into the nostril N.
As a specific diameter of the buttocks 12, it can be exemplified as being larger than the diameter of a general nostril N and 10 to 20 mm. A more preferable diameter of the collar portion 12 is 13 to 17 mm in consideration of handling convenience and the like.
Moreover, although the thickness of the collar part 12 is not specifically limited, In consideration of intensity | strength, a weight balance, the ease of shaping | molding, etc., it can be illustrated that it is 1-3 mm.
Here, in the figure, the collar portion 12 is formed integrally with the stick body 11, and the surface of the collar portion 12 and the axis of the stick body are substantially perpendicular.

Moreover, the material of the collar part 12 can be made of plastic, metal, wood, etc., and a material different from the stick main body 11 can be selected, but it is lightweight, inexpensive, and has a certain level of heat resistance. Like the stick body 11, it is preferably made of plastic.
Examples of such plastics include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but it is preferable to have heat resistance that does not denature when heated and softened wax W comes into contact.

  The configuration of the nostril hair removal stick 10 of the embodiment is as described above. Next, a method of using the hair removal work will be described.

As a method of use, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), first, the wax W softened by heating with a warmer or the like in the tip 11a of the stick body 11, that is, the range from the tip to just above the collar 12 Apply.
Next, as shown in FIG. 3A, the rear end portion 11 b of the stick main body 11 is pinched with a finger, and the front end portion 11 a is inserted into the nostril N. The stick body 11 is inserted until the buttock 12 contacts the edge of the nostril.
In this state, it takes time, for example, for 1 minute to several minutes until the wax W is solidified. The solidified wax W is fixed to the stick main body 11 and is in close contact with the inner surface of the nostril to capture the hair existing on the inner surface.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the state where the wax W is solidified, the rear end portion 11 b of the stick body 11 is pulled with a finger, and the front end portion 11 a is extracted from the nostril N.
As a result, the wax W fixed to the tip end portion 11a of the stick body 11 is peeled off from the inner surface of the nostril N. At that time, the hair H in the nostrils captured by the wax W is pulled out, and the hair removal is completed. When the hair removal is completed, the nostril hair removal stick 10 is usually discarded together with the wax W.
Unlike the case where the tip of the body hair in the nostril is pulled out while pulling one by one, the wax W captures the body hair H from the base and pulls it out quickly by pulling the stick body 11, so that the pain at the time of hair removal is reduced and the hair is removed. The time required is reduced. In addition, anyone can easily perform the hair removal work without skill.

When the wax W is applied to the stick body 11, the flange 12 serves as a guide or index for the application range, and the wax W is applied only to the tip 11 a of the stick body 11, that is, from the tip to just above the flange 12. Will do.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wax W from being applied up to the rear end portion 11b of the stick main body 11, and waste due to excessive application of the wax W can be suppressed.
In addition, when the collar part 12 is formed 8-12 mm from the front-end | tip of the stick main body 11 as mentioned above, if the wax W is apply | coated from the front-end | tip of the stick main body 11 to just above the collar part 12, the usage-amount of the wax W will be the same. It is about 3 to 6 g, which is very small. For this reason, it is excellent in cost performance at the time of hair removal.

When the distal end portion 11a of the stick body 11 is inserted into the nostril N to a certain extent, the collar portion 12 comes into contact with the edge of the nostril N, and the stick body 11 is prevented from being inserted further into the nostril N. It will be.
Therefore, the tip 11a of the stick body 11 is prevented from damaging the mucous membrane of the nostril N by hitting the inner wall of the back of the nostril N. That is, the collar portion 12 functions as a stopper when the stick body 11 is inserted into the nostril N.
In addition, since the distal end portion 11a of the stick body 11 is located near the entrance of the nostril N where hair removal is most necessary in a state where the collar portion 12 is in contact with the edge of the nostril N, the efficiency of hair removal is increased.
In addition, about the inner part of the nostril N, the necessity for hair removal is not high in the first place, and if the hair is removed to the inner part, the filter effect of the body hair in the nostril N is not exhibited, and the human body in the atmosphere is adversely affected. This is not preferable because a substance that exerts the effect is introduced into the body.
In the case of the nostril hair removal stick 10 of the embodiment, the tip 11a of the stick body 11 stays in the vicinity of the entrance of the nostril N. Therefore, the back of the nostril N is not depilated, and therefore the filter effect can be maintained. it can.

When the tip 11a is inserted into the nostril N with the tip 11a of the stick body 11 up and the rear end 11b down, the heat-softened wax W having a high fluidity applied to the tip 11a is applied. Although it is likely to sag, the flange 12 supports the wax W from below.
Therefore, the wax applied to the tip 11a of the stick body 11 is kept in a substantially conical shape with the tip of the stick body 11 at the top and the flange 12 at the bottom, as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Shaped.
Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the wax W from dripping and hair removal from being insufficient, and to apply the application to the stick main body 11 again in order to add the dripping wax W.
In addition, when the diameter of the collar part 12 is 13-17 mm as mentioned above, it is large enough to support the wax W that is likely to sag, and the handling of the nostril epilation stick 10 is hindered. This is suitable because it is not excessively large.

  It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications and variations within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

For example, in the embodiment, the shape of the stick body 11 is a cylindrical shape. However, the shape is not limited to this, and it may be a quadrangular prism, a polygonal prism other than a quadrangular prism, an elliptical prism, or the like.
Moreover, although the front-end | tip part 11a is a little small diameter compared with the rear-end part 11b, although the diameter of the stick main body 11 of embodiment is substantially uniform as a whole, it is not limited to this. For example, the diameter may gradually decrease toward the front end (front end), the diameter may gradually decrease toward the rear end (rear end), or the diameter may be increased or decreased repeatedly.
In the embodiment, the tip (leading edge) of the stick body 11 has a rounded shape, but is not limited to this, and may have a rounded shape.

The outer periphery of the rear end portion 11b of the stick body 11 may be provided with unevenness or the like that functions as a slip stopper when pinched with a finger. Similarly, a rubber tube may be put on the outer periphery of the rear end portion 11b of the stick main body 11 as a slip stopper.
Moreover, you may provide the large diameter part etc. which function as a retaining | holding at the time of pinching with the finger | toe at the rear end (rear end) of the stick main body 11. Furthermore, a hole or the like for inserting a finger may be provided in the rear end portion 11b of the stick body 11 to improve grip performance and operability.
In short, the structure of the rear end portion 11b of the stick body 11 is not limited to the embodiment, and various structures can be assumed as long as it can be pinched with a finger.

In the embodiment, the shape of the collar portion 12 is a disc shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be a quadrilateral, a polygon other than a quadrangle, an ellipse, or the like.
In the embodiment, in view of strength, ease of manufacture, and the like, the collar portion 12 and the stick body 11 are integrally formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a separately prepared one may be appropriately bonded or the like. It may be fixed by means.
When the heel part 12 is prepared separately from the stick body 11, it is also possible to use an existing elongated article such as disposable chopsticks as the stick body 11 and attach the heel part 12 to this to complete the nostril hair removal stick 10 It is.
Specifically, it can be assumed that the collar portion 12 is formed in a donut shape, and the existing stick body 11 is inserted into the donut-shaped hole and fixed appropriately.
For example, an existing long and narrow article such as disposable chopsticks is selected as the stick body 11, a highly durable metal made as the heel part 12, the stick body 11 is disposable, and is replaced every time the hair removal operation is performed. The part 12 can be used repeatedly.
Further, only the collar portion 12 and the tip end portion 11a of the stick main body 11 are integrally formed, and an existing elongated article such as disposable chopsticks is used as the rear end portion 11b of the stick main body 11, and the collar portion 12 and the tip end of the stick main body 11 are used. It is also possible to complete the nostril depilation stick 10 by fixing the integrated product with the portion 11a to the tip of an existing elongated product by an appropriate means such as adhesion.
In the embodiment, the axis of the stick main body 11 and the surface of the collar portion 12 are substantially vertical, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the axis may be inclined from a vertical state.
