Description

  The present invention relates to an improved tongue coating remover that can safely and easily remove tongue coating that is a white or brown film attached to the surface of the tongue.

  On the surface of the human tongue, there are protrusions called lingual papillae (filamentous nipples, saddle-shaped nipples, entangled nipples, foliate nipples), especially on the walls of the deep groove that surrounds the entangled nipples and foliate nipples. A certain miso is developed. A white or brown film may be formed on the surface of the tongue due to epithelial cells, lymphocytes, or food residue, and this film is called tongue coating.

  If this tongue coating is left as it is, the taste will be lost and it will cause bad breath and decay, so it is removed using a spatula or brush. In the case of the spatula, since it is made of bamboo, metal, or hard resin, sometimes it is pressed too hard and may damage the tongue, which is problematic in terms of safety. There is also a problem that it is difficult to use in the deep part of the tongue. For this reason, in the “lingual moss remover” of Utility Model Registration No. 3112294 and Utility Model Registration No. 3164878 by the applicant of the present application, a conical protrusion or a conical protrusion for contacting the surface of the tongue and scraping tongue moss And a brush part having a large number of cylindrical protrusions, and a tongue coating remover composed of a brush holding part having a squeegee part formed on the back surface on the front end side and a neck part and a handle part to attach or insert the brush part.

  However, in the tongue coating remover of the above utility model registration No. 3112294 and utility model registration No. 3164878, an elastomer resin is used as the material of the brush portion, and the tip of the brush portion that scrapes tongue coating is a conical protrusion or The conical and cylindrical protrusions do not leave a feeling of pressure or curettage or damage the tongue, but can be reliably contacted with the tongue so that the tongue coating can be scraped safely and sufficiently. When using the squeegee portion, the shape of the squeegee portion has a resistance against the tongue, which causes a problem that a feeling of pressure or curettage appears.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can safely and sufficiently scrape tongue coating without leaving a feeling of pressure or curettage on the tongue, and when using a squeegee part. An object of the present invention is to provide a tongue coating remover that can remove tongue coating without leaving a feeling of pressure or curettage.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the tongue coating remover of the present invention, a conical projection and a cylindrical projection for scraping the tongue coating in contact with the surface of the tongue are formed and arranged at a fixed ratio. A brush part in which a crescent squeegee part is formed on the surface opposite to or the same as the surface on which the shape protrusion and the cylindrical protrusion are formed, a brush holding part formed to fix the brush part, and a rear end side of the brush holding part A neck part and a handle part for gripping the brush holding part are formed in one direction, and the crescent-shaped convex part side of the squeegee part is directed toward the handle part side.

  The brush portion and the conical protrusion, cylindrical protrusion and squeegee portion formed on the brush portion are formed of an elastomer resin, and the other brush holding portion, the neck portion and the handle portion are soft resins having appropriate elasticity. Are integrally formed.

  The diameter of the conical protrusion and the cylindrical protrusion formed on the brush part is about 0.5 to 2 mm and the length is about 2 to 5 mm. The distance between each conical protrusion and the cylindrical protrusion is about 0.00 mm. The height of the squeegee portion is about 1 to 3 mm.

  If the tongue coating attached to the surface of the tongue is removed using the tongue coating remover of the present invention, the cone portion of the conical projection smoothly contacts the tongue in the brush portion made of elastomer resin, and the cylindrical shape The cylindrical corners of the protrusions are surely in contact with the tongue, and the brush holding part, the neck part and the handle part constituting the tongue coating removal tool are integrally formed with a soft resin having appropriate elasticity, There is an effect that the tongue coating can be scraped off safely and sufficiently without leaving a feeling of pressure or curettage. In addition, the shape of the squeegee formed on the surface opposite to or the same as the surface on which the conical and cylindrical protrusions are formed has no drag on the tongue, so the tongue coating is removed without leaving a feeling of pressure or curettage. There is a great effect that you can.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of the tongue coating remover of the present invention, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, and (c) is a rear view.

  As shown in the figure, the tongue coating remover 1 of the present invention is similar to a general toothbrush shape, and a conical projection 4 and a cylindrical projection 5 for contacting the surface of the tongue and scraping the tongue coating are fixed. The brush portion 3 is formed by arranging at a ratio, and a crescent squeegee portion 6 is formed on the opposite surface or the same surface as the surface on which the conical protrusion 4 and the cylindrical protrusion 5 are formed, and the brush portion 3 is fixed. A brush holding part 2 formed as desired and a neck part 7 and a handle part 8 for gripping the brush holding part 2 are formed in one direction on the rear end side of the brush holding part 2, and the crescent-shaped protrusion of the squeegee part 6 is formed. The part side is configured toward the handle part 8 side. The surface of the brush part 3 has a gentle arcuate convex shape so as to surely contact the surface of the tongue as shown in FIG. In addition, the surface of the squeegee portion 6 that contacts the tongue is formed with an inclination so as not to have a resistance against the tongue. The inclination angle is preferably about 90 °, but is not particularly limited. In the figure, the squeegee portion 6 is drawn up and down two, but it may be one or three. . The handle portion 8 has an appropriate thickness and shape so that it can be easily gripped, and the neck portion 7 is formed thinner than the handle portion 8 in order to give elasticity.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the shape of a conventional squeegee portion. When pulling the squeegee portion 6 toward the tip of the tongue, the crescent-shaped convex portion side faces the tip side of the brush portion 3 and the direction in which the load is applied to the tongue. On the other hand, the squeegee unit 6 of the present invention is directed in the opposite direction to the conventional one and does not become a load on the tongue and does not have drag, so it removes tongue coating without leaving a feeling of pressure or curettage. be able to.

  Further, the brush portion 3, the conical protrusion 4, the cylindrical protrusion 5, and the squeegee portion 6 formed on the brush portion 3 are formed of an elastomer resin, and the other brush holding portion 2, the neck portion 7, and the handle portion 8 are moderate. It is integrally formed with a soft resin having high elasticity. As the elastomer resin, for example, synthetic rubber, polyisobutylene, polyethylene, polyester and the like are suitable, but not particularly limited. Moreover, as said soft resin, although a polypropylene is suitable, for example, this is not specifically limited, either.

  Further, the conical protrusion 4 and the cylindrical protrusion 5 formed on the brush portion 3 have a diameter of about 0.5 to 2 mm and a length of about 2 to 5 mm. The interval is about 0.5 to 2 mm, and the height of the squeegee portion 6 is about 1 to 3 mm. The arrangement shape of the conical protrusions 4 and the cylindrical protrusions 5 may be any shape such as a concentric circle shape or a spiral shape in addition to a rectangular grid in which the horizontal and vertical directions are aligned as shown in FIG. The ratio of the conical protrusion 4 and the cylindrical protrusion 5 formed on the brush portion 3 is preferably about 0 to 30% for the conical protrusion 4 (that is, 100 to 70% for the cylindrical protrusion 5). It is to be noted that it is preferable that the cylindrical protrusion 5 be formed so that its base portion is slightly thicker than the front end surface because it can be easily removed from the mold.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the brush part in which the arrangement of the squeegee part in FIG. 1 is changed, and the squeegee part 6 is arranged on the upper part of the brush part 3. In this case, although the total number of the conical protrusions 4 and the cylindrical protrusions 5 is reduced, there is no change in the effect, and there is an advantage that it is not necessary to turn over the tongue coating remover 1 properly.

  FIGS. 4A and 4B are front views of the brush portion in which the shape of the brush portion in FIG. 1 is changed. FIG. 4A shows a circular shape, and FIG. 4B shows a saddle shape. The shape of the brush holder 2 of the tongue coating remover 1 of the present invention may be such a circular shape or a saddle shape other than the elliptical shape of FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a first example of use of the tongue coating remover of the present invention. When the tongue coating remover 1 of the present invention is used, the cone portion 4 and the cylindrical projection 5 of the brush portion 3 are gripped by gripping the handle portion 8. Move the entire surface of the tongue 9 back and forth and left and right against the surface of the tongue 9. At this time, the conical portion of the conical protrusion 4 smoothly contacts the tongue 9, and the cylindrical corner of the cylindrical protrusion 5 reliably contacts the tongue 9, so that the tongue 9 has a feeling of pressure and curettage. Therefore, the tongue coating adhering to the surface of the tongue 9 can be surely scraped off.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a second example of use of the tongue coating remover of the present invention. When the tongue coating scraped off as described above is collected and removed, the tongue coating remover 1 is turned upside down on the back surface of the brush portion 3. By moving the formed squeegee portion 6 against the surface of the tongue 9 and moving it to the tip of the tongue 9, the tongue coating scraped off at the tip side of the tongue 9 can be collected and removed. In addition, when scraping off the tongue moss where the brush portion 3 is difficult to touch, such as the back of the tongue 9, the squeegee portion 6 may scrape off.

  In addition, the method of fixing the brush part 3 to the brush holding part 2 may be either the crowning method described in Utility Model Registration No. 312294 or the insertion method described in Utility Model Registration No. 3164878. It does not matter.
