Description

[Detailed description of the device]

The present invention relates to a tongue coating removal tool, and more particularly to a tongue coating removal tool that is safe and easy to use.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 On the surface of the tongue, there are protrusions called tongue papillae (filamentous papillae, fungiform papillae, circumvallate papillae, foliate papillae). The taste buds are well developed.

Then, a white or brown coating may be formed on the surface of the tongue due to epithelial cells, lymphocytes, residual food residue, etc. The coating is called tongue coating.

If this tongue coating is left as it is, it causes troubles such as loss of taste, so it is removed using a bamboo spatula or the like.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This bamboo spatula is hard in terms of material, sometimes pressed too strongly and damages the tongue, and there is room for improvement in terms of safety, and it is difficult to use it in deep parts of the tongue.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tongue coating removal tool that eliminates the above drawbacks.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the tongue coating removal tool of the present invention has a longitudinal body having a mounting portion at the tip and a holding portion that is held by hand on the side farther from the tip. It is detachably attached to the attachment part of the main body of the tongue, and is made of a soft material to some extent, and the overall shape is formed into a convex surface, and a large number of openings are formed in the convex surface, and a tongue contact member that abuts the tongue. Is provided.

Further, the tongue coating removal tool of the present invention has a longitudinal body having an attachment portion at the tip and a holding portion that is manually held on the side farther from the tip, and a body having this longitudinal shape. A tongue contact member that is detachably attached to the attachment portion, is made of a soft material to some extent, and has a convex shape with a gentle overall shape, and a large number of openings are formed in the convex surface to contact the tongue; The mounting portion is formed by a groove, and the tongue contact member is provided with a locked portion so as to be locked in the groove, and a cavity is formed in the elongated body, and the tongue contact member is engaged with the engaged portion. When the stopper is locked in the groove, a part of the lower end side of the tongue contact member faces the void.

[0009]

[Action]

 In the tongue coating removal tool according to claim 1 configured as described above, since the tongue contact member that contacts the tongue is formed in a convex shape with a gentle overall shape, and is formed of a material that is somewhat soft, The tongue contact member softly contacts the tongue.

Further, since the tongue contact member is attached to the attachment portion of the distal end portion of the elongated body, it reaches the back of the tongue.

Further, the tongue coating adhered to the tongue abutting member due to use can be removed from the back side of the tongue abutting member by detaching the tongue abutting member from the elongated body.

In the tongue coating remover according to the second aspect, the tongue abutting member that abuts the tongue is formed as a gentle convex surface as a whole and is made of a soft material to some extent. Gently touch the tongue.

Further, since the tongue contact member is attached to the attachment portion at the tip of the elongated body, it reaches the back of the tongue.

Further, the tongue coating adhered to the tongue contact member by use can be removed from the back side of the tongue contact member by detaching the tongue contact member from the elongated body.

When the locked portion of the tongue abutting member is locked in the groove on the elongated main body, a space is formed so that a part of the lower end side of the tongue abutting member faces. Since it is formed, the fingertip easily contacts the locked portion.

[0016]

【Example】

 A tongue coating removal tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5, reference numeral 1 is a tongue coating removing tool, and the tongue coating removing tool 1 has a mounting portion 2a at a front end portion and is held by a hand farther from the tip portion. It is detachably attached to the main body 2 having a long shape having the holding portion 2b and the attachment portion 2a of the main body 2 having the long shape, and is made of a soft material (for example, plastic) to some extent, and the overall shape is gentle. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the tongue contact member 3 is formed on a convex surface, a large number of openings 3a are formed on the convex surface, and the tongue contact member 3 contacts the tongue.

Further, more specifically, the mounting portion 2a is formed by, for example, a groove, and the tongue contact member 3 is provided with a locked portion 3d so as to be locked in the groove.

The shape of the opening 3a of the tongue contact member 3 may be a circle as shown in FIG. 4 (a), or a polygonal shape as shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and (c). Alternatively, the tongue contact member 3 may be formed in a net shape as shown in FIG. 4 (d). 4 (e) is a schematic side sectional view of FIG. 4 (d).

Therefore, in use, as shown in FIG. 3, the tongue contact member 3 is attached to the elongated main body 2 and is moved forward and backward (or left and right) as shown in FIG. The contact member 3 softly contacts the tongue, part of the surface of the tongue enters the opening 3a, and the coating (tongue coating) attached to the surface adheres to the wall 3b around the opening 3a and is removed.

That is, according to the tongue coating remover 1 of this embodiment, the tongue abutting member 3 that comes into contact with the tongue is formed into a gentle convex surface as a whole and is made of a soft material to some extent. It can be used safely without damaging.

Moreover, since the tongue contact member 3 is attached to the attachment portion 2a at the tip of the elongated body 2, it easily reaches the back of the tongue and is easy to use.

Further, the tongue coating adhered to the tongue abutting member 3 by use can be removed from the tongue abutting member 3 from the main body 2 having an elongated shape, and can be cleaned from the back side of the tongue abutting member 3. It can be kept extremely clean.

In order to easily and removably attach the tongue contact member 3 to the attachment portion 2a of the elongated body 2, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the elongated body 2 is attached. When the void 2e is formed in the tongue contact member 3 and the locked portion 3d of the tongue contact member 3 is locked in the groove, a part of the lower end side of the tongue contact member 3 may face the void 2e. .

[0025]

[Effect of device]

 According to the tongue coating remover of claim 1, since the tongue contact member that comes into contact with the tongue is formed to have a gentle convex surface as a whole and is made of a soft material to some extent, the tongue is not damaged. Can be used safely.

Moreover, since the tongue contact member is attached to the attachment portion of the distal end portion of the elongated body, it easily reaches the back of the tongue and is easy to use.

Further, the tongue coating adhered to the tongue abutting member by use can be removed from the tongue abutting member from the elongated body and can be cleaned from the back side of the tongue abutting member, so that it is kept extremely clean. There is an effect such as being able to achieve.

According to the tongue coating remover of the second aspect, the tongue abutting member that abuts the tongue is formed to have a gentle convex surface as a whole and is made of a soft material to some extent, which damages the tongue. It can be used safely without incident.

Moreover, since the tongue contact member is attached to the attachment portion of the distal end portion of the elongated body, it easily reaches the back of the tongue and is easy to use.

Further, the tongue coating adhered to the tongue abutting member by use can be removed from the tongue abutting member from the elongated main body, and can be cleaned from the back side of the tongue abutting member, so that it is kept extremely clean. Further, when a cavity is formed in the elongated main body and the locked portion of the tongue abutting member is locked in the groove, a part of the lower end side of the tongue abutting member is the above-mentioned void. Since the tongue contact member is located at the location, the tongue contact member can be easily and detachably attached to the attachment portion of the elongated body.
