Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a resin-made portable washer that is mainly used when a mother or a caregiver cleans a part of the body of an infant or a cared person and that sprays a cleaning liquid in a container from a nozzle. Things.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When this type of portable washer is classified according to the type of use, the type of personal type in which the user himself / herself cleans a part of the body (Type A), and the type in which the user cleans another person like the mother and infant described above. It is roughly classified into the type of other person type (type B). In the case of type A of the person type, a long nozzle is used in consideration of the effectiveness of the cleaning function and the convenience of handling when cleaning the place where the nozzle such as the buttocks is difficult to reach. For example, Japanese Utility Model No. 3042302 is registered. As in the conventional example of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-327416, a structure is employed in which a nozzle protruding with a spring is pulled out of a container, or a "shaped" nozzle is rotated along the container.

On the other hand, since the type B of the other type cleans another person, there is no necessity of a long nozzle like the type A like the “body cleaning tool” described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-21200. . Reprints of drawings in this publication and explanations using symbols are omitted, but when cleaning the body of infants, etc. with the “body cleaning tool” devised in the publication, remove the cap and raise the movable body. Then, the plurality of ejection ports are opened, and then the cylindrical container held by one hand is pressed to eject the liquid inside. `` Since the nozzles have a plurality of nozzles in a radial shape, it is possible to ensure that the jet flow spreads out, and to spray the liquid evenly to the corresponding parts, thus ensuring more reliable cleaning. Can do it. "

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Both of the above two conventional apparatuses employing the personal type A use long nozzles. Therefore, there is a drawback in operability because the operation of pulling out the nozzle is required prior to cleaning. Particularly, in the former case of the two cases, there is a fatal drawback that a long “C” -shaped nozzle is attached to the side of the container, which hinders carrying. In addition, the structure must be complicated, resulting in high costs and a high incidence of defects. In addition, the type B “body cleansing tool” requires two operations of removing the cap and opening the jet port, and has the same operational difficulty here. In addition, since a cylindrical container is configured, if the cap is lost, the nozzle may leak from the exposed nozzle and become dirty. There have been problems such as the inconvenience that the container that has fallen down sometimes rolls and separates from the hand.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional portable washing machine, and can easily open and close the cap with one hand at the time of washing, and is excellent in operability. The purpose is to realize an extremely practical, other-person portable washing machine that does not leak when carrying.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 1 is a front view showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a right side view of FIG. 1, FIG. FIG. 5 is a plan view of FIG. 1, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a cap open state, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged right side sectional view showing a cap open state of the cap alone. 1 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a portable cleaning device. Reference numerals 2 and 3 denote a container and a cap, and these constitute the portable washing machine 1. A flexible resin material is used for both the container 2 and the cap 3, and the container 2 partially shown in cross section is shown in FIG. The container 2 has a substantially elliptical cross section, a cross-sectional area reduced from the shoulder to a similar shape, and is molded into a bottle shape having a cylindrical opening 21 formed in the head.

[0008] Reference numeral 22 denotes a trapezoidal, coarsely pitched male screw threaded around the outer periphery of the opening 21, and reference numeral 23 denotes a raised bottom portion for stabilizing the mounting. In the cap 3, reference numeral 3a denotes a main body of the cap, 3b denotes a lid of the cap, and 3c denotes a hinge mechanism in which the lid 3b is connected to the main body 3a to form a three-point hinge. 31 is a female screw that is screwed into the male screw 22 of the container 2, 32 is a cut-out portion whose surface is cut flat, 33 is a nozzle protruding shortly eccentrically to the top surface, and 34 is a triangle at the tip of the nozzle 33. The three ejection holes provided in the shape, a protrusion 35 protruding in a flange shape from the front surface of the lid 3b and facing the hinge mechanism 3c, and a cap-shaped projection provided on the inner surface of the lid 3b facing the nozzle 33 and is there. As shown in FIG. 6, the knob 3 is positioned on the short axis Y-Y of the elliptical container 2 when the cap 3 is mounted, and the nozzle 33 is provided eccentrically near the knob 35. .

As shown in FIG. 7, arc-shaped projections 36 a and 33 a having a small radius are formed on the inner wall of the cap-shaped projection 36 and the outer wall of the nozzle 33, and the cap-shaped projection 36 is closed. The inner wall of the nozzle 33 and the outer wall of the nozzle 33 are closely fitted, and the ejection hole 34 provided at the tip of the nozzle 33 is closed by pressing a disc packing 3e described later. 37 is a wide elastic hinge having a hinge axis at two connecting portions of the main body 3a and the lid 3b, and 38 is a narrow pair of hinges having a single thin ribbon-shaped hinge axis on both sides of the elastic hinge 37. is there. The elastic hinge 37 stores a shape bent at almost 90 degrees, and applies an elastic force to the hinge mechanism 3c by a restoring force to the stored shape. Reference numeral 3d denotes an annular packing provided in the main body 3a, and 3e denotes a disk packing in the cap-shaped projection 36.

When cleaning a part of the body of the care receiver using the portable cleaning device 1 of the first embodiment having such a configuration, the cleaning liquid is stored in the container 2 in advance. At this time, the cap 3 attached to the head of the bottle-shaped container 2 is turned and removed, and a cleaning solution such as slightly warm water is poured into the container 2 and accommodated therein. The female screw 31 of the cap 3 is tightly screwed into the male screw 22 of the container 2 containing an appropriate amount of the washing liquid, and the cap 3 is securely attached to the container 2 again. At this time, the annular packing 3d and the disc packing 3e are interposed at the contact portions of the opening 21 and the main body 3a and the contact portions of the nozzle 33 and the cap-shaped projection 36, so that they are securely sealed. The leakage of the cleaning liquid is prevented. In particular, the projections 33a and 36a are fitted to the nozzle 33 and the cap-shaped projection 36, and the disk packing 3e presses the upper surface of the nozzle 33 so that the ejection port 34 is kept closed.

In this way, when four fingers are gripped along the long axis direction of the elliptical container 2 ready for cleaning, the fingertip of the thumb is automatically located near the knob 35. When the hook of the thumb is hung on the knob 35 protruding above the cutout portion 32 and pushed up while opposing the elasticity of the elastic hinge 37, the lid 3b is turned clockwise about the two hinge axes of the hinge 38 with respect to the fulcrum. Rotate. When the rotation of the lid 3b exceeds a certain angle (vertical plane in FIG. 6), the clockwise restoring force of the hinge 37 acts and the upper surface of the main body 3a is almost automatically opened. The open state at this time is shown in FIG. Then, after the nozzle 33 on the top surface of the opened main body 3a is directed to the cleaning portion, a gripping force is applied to the container 2 so that the cleaning liquid inside can be ejected.

Since the nozzle 33 on the top surface of the main body 3a is provided with three ejection holes in a triangular shape, the cleaning liquid inside is appropriately dispersed and ejected. Therefore, the washing liquid is gently sprayed to the washing portion, and the portable washing machine 1 particularly suitable for washing the body of an infant or the like can be realized. After the washing, the top index finger of the four fingers holding the container 2 can be hung on the lid 3b in the open state, and the lid 3b can be closed. Also in this case, when the rotation angle of the cover 3b in the counterclockwise direction exceeds a certain angle, the same restoring force as described above is applied, and the closing operation by the index finger is assisted. Therefore, the operability is good, and it is possible to keep the lid 3b high in hermeticity without forgetting to close it halfway.

Incidentally, the materials and numerical values of the specification example of the portable cleaning device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention are as follows. (Unit of numerical value: mm) (1) Container 2 Total height of container 116.5 Maximum value of minor axis 37.0 Height of container section 100.0 Height of opening 27.6 Maximum value of major axis 55.0 Material PE (2) Cap 3 Cap outer shape 32.0 Cap outer shape 32.0 Overall height 27.0 Material PP

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of the ejection holes is three in a triangular shape has been described as an example. However, the number, arrangement, contour shape of the front surface of the container, and the like are also different in the embodiment. The present invention is not limited to those shown, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist thereof.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, a bottle-shaped flexible container having an opening at the top for containing a cleaning liquid, and a main body screwed around the opening of the container, and the hinge at the other end by a knob are used as a fulcrum. A portable washing machine equipped with a cap with a lid that has a cap-shaped projection formed on the inner surface of the lid that is provided with a lid that can be opened and closed, protrudes from the top surface of the main body, and has a nozzle that has an ejection hole at the tip. A portable washer comprising a three-point hinge for a hinge between a cap body and a lid. In the above, a packing is fitted inside the cap-shaped projection, and a projection is provided on the inner wall of the cap-shaped projection and the outer wall of the nozzle, and the cap-shaped projection and the nozzle are fitted via both projections. Washer was constructed.

As a result, all operations such as holding the container 2, opening and closing the lid 3 b, and spraying the cleaning liquid can be performed quickly and skillfully with one hand. In particular, since the three-point hinge of the hinge mechanism 3C utilizes the elastic restoring force of the memory shape, the opening and closing operation of the lid 3b is smooth even though it is made of resin, and there is no fear of corrosion due to a metal spring as in the past. It can also be kept hygienically. In addition, packings 3d and 3e are interposed at both locations (opening portion 21 and nozzle 33) that are opened and closed at the time of refilling and spraying of the cleaning liquid. Leakage can be reliably prevented. In particular, since the nozzle and the cap-shaped projection are fitted to each other by the ridges 33a and 36a, the top surface of the nozzle is strongly pressed, so that the leakage of the cleaning liquid at the time of closing the lid can be more reliably prevented. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the container 2 is elliptical and easy to grip, and even if it falls down, it does not roll out as in the conventional example. Further, since the nozzle 33 is eccentric in the direction away from the hinge mechanism 3c on the top surface of the main body 3a of the cap, a strong moment is given by the cap-like projection 36, so that the ejection hole 34 is closed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the cap can be smoothly opened and closed with one hand at the time of washing, so that the operability is excellent, and furthermore, there is no liquid leakage at the time of carrying and the like. A washer can be provided.
