Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a swab for medical use, quasi-medical use, cosmetic use, and the like.

"Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas" Cotton swabs with cotton wool tips at the ends of thin rods are already well known, but they are usually housed in paper or other packaging boxes and sold commercially. Have been.

However, in general consumers who have obtained this, once the packaging box is opened, the contained swab is exposed to invisible bacteria and dust in the air, which is extremely unsanitary.

On the other hand, if the ears are made to contain water, a coating solution, or the like in advance, it may be convenient to carry them when traveling.

By the way, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-26247 discloses a device in which only ears are covered with a bag that can be removed by breaking. This way,
It is considered possible to protect the ears of each swab individually from various bacteria and dust, and to make the ears preliminarily contain water, a coating solution, and the like.

However, in practice, when the rod is inserted into the bag, sufficient airtightness cannot be ensured, and invisible bacteria and dust easily enter. In addition, the water or the coating liquid or the like previously contained in the spikes may evaporate or deteriorate, and the water or the coating liquid may leak out along the rod.

Of course, you can wrap not only the ears but also the sticks in the bag,
Then, since the water and the coating liquid contained in the ears travel down the rod and the inner surface of the bag to wet the rod, it may cause discomfort during use, and furthermore, the water and the coating liquid etc. It flows into the inside and the content of the spikes is not constant. Therefore, it is extremely bad when the spikes contain moisture, a coating solution, or the like.

In consideration of the above, the present invention can sufficiently wrap the ears in a gas-tight manner, protect them from miscellaneous notes and dust, etc., and apply water, coating liquid, etc. to the ears without any trouble. Therefore, it is intended to provide a convenient and inexpensive swab free from the above-mentioned inconvenience.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cotton swab having a thin rod 1 attached with a spike 2 at the tip thereof, and a synthetic resin integrated molding in the middle of the rod 1. The end of a tube 3 that covers the ear 2 is integrally connected to the periphery of the flange 5 through a thin break line 6, and the tip of the tube 3 is welded and sealed. The ear 7 is housed in the tube 3 in an airtight manner after stopping 7.

[Operation] Because of the above-described configuration, the flange 5 and the tube 3 reliably prevent the germs and dust in the air from adhering to the ears 2 and allow the ears 2 to contain water, a coating liquid, and the like in advance. To do things without hindrance. In addition, the flange 5 secures a required bulge of the tube 3 and holds a space around the stored ears 2.

In use, the tube 3 may be torn at the thin break line 6 (FIG. 3).

"Example" The drawing shows an example of the present invention.

The illustrated one is made of synthetic resin, and a sponge chip ear 2 is fixed to the tip of a thin rod body 1 with an adhesive 4, and a flange 5 is integrally formed in the middle of the rod body 1. Further, a tube 3 that covers the ears 2 by integral molding is connected to the periphery of the flange 5 via a thin-walled break line 6 at the end, and the tip of the tube 3 is welded and sealed in a straight line. With the stop 7, the ears 2 are hermetically stored in a tube.

In this embodiment, the ear 2 contains a foundation for one-time use, and other coating liquids such as cosmetics and various chemicals.

Also, the tip 8 of the rod 1 is formed in a plate shape as shown in FIG. 2, and the sponge tip 2 is formed in a bag shape and fitted to the tip 8 of the rod. Adhesive 4 when mating
Adhere and fix with. This operation is performed from the distal end side of the tube 3 before welding and sealing the distal end of the tube 3. The ears 2 may be made of absorbent cotton.

The ear 2 is made to contain the above-mentioned coating solution. At this time, treatments such as dust removal and various germs are performed, and then the tip of the tube 3 is welded and sealed 7.

The tube 3 may be a laminated tube, and the flange 5 is formed in a flange shape having a diameter larger than that of the ear 2, and the thin break line 6 is formed in an annular shape on the periphery of the flange 5.

As shown in FIG. 3, when carrying the device, the user holds the rod 1 with one hand, grasps the tube 3 with the other hand, and pulls it strongly. Break line 6
And the tube 3 may be removed.

Needless to say, the ear 2 does not need to contain a coating liquid or the like.

"Effects of the Invention" According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained because of the configuration described above.

Due to the integral molding of the rod 1, the flange 5 and the tube 3 made of synthetic resin, and the welding seal 7 at the tip of the tube 3, the ears 2 can be accurately and air-tightly stored in the tube 3, and can be configured simply. It can be easily manufactured and provided at low cost.

In this manner, the ears 2 can be accurately and air-tightly stored in the tube 3, so that the attachment of dust and germs to the ears 2 and the invasion of dust and germs into the tube 3 can be properly prevented.
Can be reliably protected from dust and various germs. Therefore, it is extremely hygienic.

In this way, the ears 2 can be accurately and air-tightly stored in the tube 3, so that even if the ears 2 are preliminarily contained with water or a coating solution, evaporation (drying), deterioration, and the like can be prevented, and there is no problem for a long time. Maintenance can be secured.

The required bulge of the tube 3 can be secured by the flange 5,
A space can be maintained around the stored ears 2, and therefore, external force is hardly applied to the ears 2 through the tube 3, and the ears 2 are not crushed or deformed by external force. . In addition, a heat insulating effect can be obtained in the space.

Since the end of the tube 3 and the flange 5 are connected to each other via the thin break line 6, the tube 3 can be easily and appropriately broken and removed by the thin break line 6.

Most of the rod 1 can be outside the tube,
Is not wetted by the moisture or coating liquid etc.
In addition, the collar 5 can prevent the rod 1 from transmitting to the rod 1 during use, and does not cause discomfort during use.

Since there is no possibility that the water or the coating liquid etc. contained in the ear 2 leaks along the rod 1 or that the content of the ear 2 is reduced due to the collapse of the ear 2, The content of the coating liquid and the like can be maintained at a constant level, and does not hinder use.

It is convenient and very convenient to use at home, work, etc., and to carry around when traveling.
