[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement in a cleaning tool for removing soot, ash, etc. as soon as it is deposited on a thermotherapy device that uses heat from an incense stick.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a thermotherapy instrument utilizing heat of an incense stick or the like, for example, there is an instrument indicated by reference numeral 10 in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (e) show components, and FIG. 2 (f) is an assembly diagram at the time of use, and is composed of the following elements. The outer tube 11 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) has a metal-made circular pipe-shaped base 11a and one end of the base 11a (in FIG. 2, described as the front end on the left side) having a larger diameter than the base 11a. A plurality of slit-shaped vents 11c around the vent, a vent 11b having a circular small hole 11d at the top, and a circular opening 11e at the other end (described as the right end in FIG. 2). The base portion 11a and the ventilation portion 11b are formed with a space having a circular cross section communicating with the inside. The incense stick 12 shown in FIG. 2 (c) is a linear body having a generally circular cross section containing various crude drugs, herbs, spices and the like, and fixed with an adhesive, and having a length longer than the entire length of the outer tube 11 and the inner tube 13 described later. It is cut slightly short. The inner tube 13 shown in FIGS. 2 (d) and 2 (e) has a metal-made circular pipe-shaped base 13a, and a rear end (the right side in FIG. 2) of the base 13a having a diameter larger than the base 13a and having an axial center portion. A circular flange 13d in which a circular small hole 13e is formed, and a pair of substantially horizontal U-shaped cuts 13b and a front end of the cut 13b at a position symmetrical to the front (left side in FIG. 2) from the center of the base 13a. It consists of a pair of tongue pieces 13c projecting closer to each other and having a slightly curved surface toward the inside of the base 13a and symmetrically positioned, and a circular opening 13f formed at the front end of the base 13a. Is usually set in the following relationship: flange portion 13d> vent portion 11b> base portion 11a> opening portion 11e> base portion 13a> opening portion 13f> incense stick 12> small hole 13e> or = small hole 11d. FIG. 2F shows a state in which the components described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2E are slightly enlarged and assembled as the thermotherapy instrument 10. First, the incense stick 12 is inserted toward the rear end side from the opening 13f of the inner tube 13, the front part is sandwiched between the curved surfaces of the pair of tongue pieces 13c, and pressure is applied so that the tip slightly projects from the opening 13f. Keep it. Then, the base 13a of the inner tube 13 is fitted toward the front end side of the opening 11e of the outer tube 11 to obtain an assembled state shown in FIG. When performing thermotherapy, before the assembly, the tip of the incense stick 12 protruding from the opening 13f of the inner tube 13 is ignited by a flame such as a candle or a match, and then the assembled state shown in FIG. However, the incense stick 12 ignited at this time has the ventilation port 11c and the small hole 11d communicating with the outside air, so that the smoke is discharged and the combustion is continuously maintained. One or two of the thermotherapy instruments 10 after the ignition are grasped by hand, and a treatment is performed by applying either strong or weak pressure welding to an appropriate part of the affected part. In this hyperthermia treatment, a remarkable effect can be obtained by performing treatment aiming at a synergistic effect such as a temperature effect due to heating of the incense stick 12, a mechanical friction effect, a pharmacological effect of crude drugs and herbs, and an optical effect due to heat generation. is there. When the burning of the incense stick 12 progresses, the incense stick 12 is extruded and adjusted so as to secure the amount of protrusion of the incense stick 12 from the opening 13f. By fitting and supplementing the auxiliary holder having a small hole formed in the bottom surface and sandwiching the auxiliary holder between the curved surfaces of the pair of tongue pieces 13, almost all of the incense stick 12 can be burned. .

In one treatment, usually 6 to 10 incense sticks 12 are used depending on the case, and soot, ash, etc. are deposited mainly on the inner surface of the outer tube 11 by smoke from the incense sticks 12. Conventionally, a cleaning tool 14 shown in FIG. 2 (g) has been used to remove this. The cleaning tool 14 includes a base 14a made of a metal linear wire and a spoon-shaped dish 14b at one end (the front end on the left side in FIG. 2). Here, since the size of the bend of the dish 14b from the base 14a is smaller than the opening 11e of the outer tube 11, cleaning is performed by winding absorbent cotton immersed in alcohol or the like for washing on the dish 14b. The tool 14 is inserted through the opening 11e of the outer tube 11 from which the inner tube 13 is detached, with the dish portion 14b facing the front end side, and as soon as it is deposited on the inner surface of the outer tube 11, soot, ash, etc. are laddered. Removal cleaning was performed by sticking to the cotton wool by moving or rotating.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the conventional cleaning tool 14 merely winds absorbent cotton around the spoon-shaped dish portion 14b at the front end, so that the soot and ash are strongly wiped or rotated to remove and clean. In such a case, it easily comes off, and if it does not come off, there is a shortage of stiffness and rotating force, and in any case, there is a problem that a considerable amount of time is required for the removal and cleaning work that must be performed frequently. In contrast, the present invention has a simple structure.As soon as it accumulates on the inner surface of the thermotherapy device, it is wound around one end with absorbent cotton soaked in alcohol for cleaning to remove soot and ash. The object of the present invention is to obtain a cleaning tool for a thermotherapy device which does not come off even if it is moved or rotated, can adjust the strength of the squeezing and rotating, and can efficiently perform the required removal and cleaning work. And

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, in the invention of claim 1, a handle in a substantially central portion, a winding member made of a linear wire extending to one of the handles, and a straight line extending to the other are provided. It has an extruded member made of a wire rod, a straight flat portion and a hook-shaped bent portion connected to the end of the winding member, and absorbent cotton is locked on the surfaces of the flat portion and the bent portion. The problem was solved by cleaning the thermotherapy equipment with possible irregularities. According to the invention of claim 2, it is preferable that the unevenness formed on the flat portion and the bent portion is formed into a spiral screw shape. According to the third aspect of the present invention, the bent part, the flat part, the wrapping member, and the extruded part are used as a cleaning tool for a thermotherapy instrument according to the first or second aspect, wherein a circular cross section is used. Is preferred. In the invention according to claim 4, the cleaning device for a thermotherapy instrument according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the wire member is formed in a ring shape by each end of the wire member and the extruding member and is formed as a handle. It can be.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows each example of the cleaning tool of the present invention, in which (a) is an overall schematic view of one example, and (b) and (c) are partial schematic views of other examples. In the following, the side (left side) fitted from the opening 11e of the outer tube 11 is referred to as the front side, and the opposite side (right side) is referred to as the rear side, similarly to the cleaning tool 14 of FIG. In FIG. 1 (a), the cleaning tool 1 of the present invention has a winding member 1a made of a linear wire having a circular cross section on one side with a ring-shaped handle 1c as a substantially central portion, and a wire member made of a linear linear wire on a cross section. The pushing member 1b extends. At the tip of the winding member 1a, a flat portion 1d having a circular cross section and a hook-shaped bent portion 1e are continuously provided in front of the flat portion 1d, and the surface of the bent portion 1e and the flat portion 1d have a spiral screw shape. Are formed. Here, the size of the bent portion 1e from the winding member 1a is smaller than the opening 11e of the outer tube 11, and the diameter of the pushing member 1b is smaller than the small hole 13e. The lengths of the winding member 1a and the pushing member 1b are selected in consideration of the operability according to the lengths of the outer tube 11 and the inner tube 13. FIG. 1B is a modification of the handle 1c, in which only the handle is changed to 1f in which the surface of the cylindrical body is knurled. In FIG. 1C, only the handle portion is changed to an H-shaped material of 1 g. The shape of the handle is not limited to the above examples, and may be, for example, a drum-shaped body, a corrugated body, a polygonal body, or another deformed body. However, the winding member 1a and the pushing member shown in FIG. A handle 1c formed in a ring shape by each end of the wire rod 1b is preferable because it is the lightest, low-cost, and easy to use. Here, the bent portion 1e, the flat portion 1d, the winding member 1a, and the pushing member 1b do not necessarily need to use a wire having a circular cross section, but a circular shape is preferable because it can be manufactured integrally and at low cost. The winding member 1a and the pushing member 1b do not necessarily have to be in the same straight line, and the handle may have a certain angle with respect to the center. The spiral screw-shaped irregularities formed on the surfaces of the flat portion 1d and the bent portion 1e are not limited to the above, and it is sufficient that irregularities capable of locking absorbent cotton are formed on the surfaces of the flat portion 1d and the bent portion 1e. However, it is preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing and operation to use the above spiral screw shape.

Next, the usage of the cleaning tool 1 of the present invention will be described. When using the cleaning tool 1, as soon as it accumulates on the inner surface of the outer tube 11, absorbent cotton immersed in alcohol or the like for cleaning to remove soot and ash is transferred from the bent portion 1e to the flat portion 1d. Although it is wound, it can be easily wound because of the spiral screw-shaped irregularities formed on it, and once it is wound, it does not peel off easily because the absorbent cotton fibers are entangled. Therefore, the cleaning tool 1 wrapped with absorbent cotton is inserted into the opening 11e of the outer tube 11 from which the inner tube 13 is detached, with the bent portion 1e directed toward the front end side, and is easily swung or rotated to be easily rotated. As soon as it is deposited on the inner surface of the outer tube 11, soot, ash and the like can be removed and cleaned. Although the absorbent cotton does not come off even if it is strongly wrung, it is preferable that when it is strongly rotated, it is rotated in the winding direction and rotated in the opposite direction so that the winding is not loosened. In addition, since the handle 1c, 1f or 1g is fixed substantially at the center, the magnitude of the ironing and rotating force can be easily adjusted, and the cleaning operation can be performed quickly and reliably. Removal of the soiled cotton wool can be easily performed by wrapping around the spiral screw-shaped unevenness and unwrapping it in the opposite direction. Also, since the linear extrusion member 1b is made smaller than the small hole 13e, when the ignited incense stick 12 burns and the portion protruding from the opening 13f decreases, it is pushed out from the small hole 13e of the inner tube 13. By inserting the member 1b from the rear end side, the incense 12 in the inner tube 13 can be easily pushed forward.

[0008]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the cleaning tool used for the thermotherapy device of the present invention, the absorbent cotton immersed in cleaning alcohol or the like wrapped around one end of the cleaning tool has a simple structure and can be detached even if it is strongly wrung or rotated. The ironing and rotating force can be adjusted strongly, and it is possible to efficiently perform the removal and cleaning work that must be performed frequently to remove soot, ash, etc. as soon as it accumulates on the inner surface of the outer tube. it can.
