Description

本考案は耳を洗浄するための器具に関する。 The present invention relates to an instrument for cleaning the ear.

耳は耳垢などが溜まりやすく適宜洗浄することが望ましいが、耳介の内側は凹凸が多く、大きなスポンジやタオルなどではうまく洗浄できない。このため、通常は指先を用いて洗浄を行うことが多いが、爪を伸ばしたり、付け爪をつけたりしている女性の場合は指先で耳を洗浄することができない。
これに対して、下記特許文献には芯の先端に丸いスポンジを固定した耳用の洗浄具が示されている。このような耳洗浄具を用いれば爪が長くても耳介の内側をうまく清掃することができる。 It is desirable to clean the ears easily because of the accumulation of earwax etc., but the inside of the pinna has many irregularities and cannot be cleaned well with a large sponge or towel. For this reason, usually, the fingertip is often used for washing, but the ear cannot be washed with the fingertip in the case of a woman who has a nail stretched or an artificial nail attached.
On the other hand, the following patent document shows an ear cleaning tool in which a round sponge is fixed to the tip of a core. By using such an ear cleaning tool, the inside of the pinna can be cleaned well even if the nails are long.

しかしながら、上記特許文献に記載の考案は、小さなスポンジが先端部分にあるだけなので十分な水分を含むことができず、また、全体に細長いので手が滑るなどにより、デリケートな外耳の中までスポンジが刺さってしまう恐れがある。
本考案は、このような問題に鑑みて、水分をより多く吸収できるとともに、外耳の奥まで洗浄部分が入り込むことを抑制できる耳洗浄器具を提供することを課題とする。 However, the device described in the above-mentioned patent document cannot contain sufficient moisture because there is only a small sponge at the tip, and the sponge is inserted into the delicate outer ear due to the slenderness of the whole so that the hand slips. There is a risk of being stabbed.
In view of such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide an ear cleaning device that can absorb more moisture and can prevent the cleaning portion from entering the back of the outer ear.

上記課題を解決するために、本考案は次のような構成を有する。
請求項１に記載の考案は、少なくとも先端が耳介内の外耳開口周辺に入る大きさを有する、先端が丸くなった略円柱体からなる細部洗浄部と、前記細部洗浄部の後端に一体に連なる板状体からなる面洗浄部とを有する、スポンジからなる洗浄体と、前記洗浄体の内部に設けられる前記細部洗浄部から前記面洗浄部に至る少なくとも前記細部洗浄部内は棒状に形成される芯とを有する耳洗浄具である。
請求項２に記載の考案は、前記耳洗浄具において、前記芯は少なくとも細部洗浄部内に存する部分はエラストマーにより形成されるものである。

The bottom view of the ear cleaning tool X is shown to d). The ear cleaning tool X includes a cleaning body 10, a core 20, and a handle 30.

洗浄体１０はスポンジにより形成され先端側の先が丸くなった円柱状の細部洗浄部１１と、基端側の外縁が丸く形成された正面視略楕円形の板状体からなる面洗浄部１２とから構成される。洗浄体１０の内部には芯２０が入る隙間が形成されている。
芯２０は洗浄体１０内部に設けられるもので、先端部２１とベース部２２とから構成される。先端部２１は洗浄体１０の細部洗浄部１１内に設けられる先が丸くなった棒状の芯でシリコーンゴムにより形成される。ベース部２２は洗浄体１０の面洗浄部１２内に設けられるもので、面洗浄部１２を小さくしたような形状を有するほとんど撓まないプラスチックにより形成される。なお、先端部２１はベース部２２の先端部分に設けられた穴に嵌入して固定されている。
持ち手３０は芯２０の基端に一体に形成されるプラスチックの棒体であり、基端近傍に貫通孔３１が形成されている。貫通孔３１には紐を通して両端を縛ることで、フックなどに引っ掛けるリング固定することができる。 The cleaning body 10 is formed of a sponge and has a columnar detail cleaning portion 11 having a rounded tip on the front end side, and a surface cleaning portion 12 formed of a plate-like body having a substantially elliptical shape in front view and having a proximal outer edge formed in a round shape. It consists of. Inside the cleaning body 10, a gap into which the core 20 enters is formed.
The core 20 is provided inside the cleaning body 10 and includes a tip portion 21 and a base portion 22. The distal end portion 21 is a rod-shaped core having a rounded tip provided in the detailed cleaning portion 11 of the cleaning body 10 and is formed of silicone rubber. The base portion 22 is provided in the surface cleaning portion 12 of the cleaning body 10 and is formed of a plastic that hardly deforms and has a shape that makes the surface cleaning portion 12 smaller. The distal end portion 21 is fixed by being fitted into a hole provided in the distal end portion of the base portion 22.
The handle 30 is a plastic rod formed integrally with the base end of the core 20, and a through hole 31 is formed in the vicinity of the base end. A ring that can be hooked on a hook or the like can be fixed to the through hole 31 by tying both ends through a string.

次に、以上のような構成を有する洗浄具Ｘの使用方法について説明する。まず、使用者は洗浄体１０に石鹸水などの洗浄液を含ませる。そして、持ち手３０を持って耳介内側の溝及び外耳入り口周囲を細部洗浄部１１でこすって洗浄する。この際、芯２０の先端部２１はシリコーンゴムであるので細部に沿って適宜曲がるとともに弾性により設置面を適当な力で押圧することができる。次に、面洗浄部で耳介の裏や周囲、耳たぶなどをこすって洗浄する。次に、洗浄体１０の洗浄液を絞ってから洗い流し、細部洗浄部１１で耳介内側の溝及び外耳入り口周囲の洗浄液を拭き取る。なお、耳介裏や周囲、耳たぶなどの洗浄液は直接水で洗い流せば足りるが面洗浄部１２で拭き取ってもよい。使い終わったあとは、軽く水で洗ってフックなどに掛けて乾かすことで衛生的に保管することができる。
本実施形態に係る洗浄具Ｘは、洗浄体１０が先端の細部洗浄部１１と後端側の面洗浄部１２とから構成されるので十分に吸水ができ、また、外耳の奥に細部洗浄部１１が入り込むことが面洗浄部１２によって抑制される。 Next, a method of using the cleaning tool X having the above configuration will be described. First, the user includes a cleaning liquid such as soapy water in the cleaning body 10. Then, with the handle 30, the fine cleaning part 11 rubs and cleans the groove inside the pinna and the periphery of the outer ear entrance. At this time, since the tip portion 21 of the core 20 is made of silicone rubber, it can be appropriately bent along the details and can press the installation surface with an appropriate force by elasticity. Next, the surface cleaning unit rubs and cleans the back and surroundings of the auricle and the earlobe. Next, the cleaning liquid of the cleaning body 10 is squeezed out and then washed away, and the cleaning liquid around the groove on the inner side of the auricle and the outer ear entrance is wiped off by the detailed cleaning section 11. It should be noted that the cleaning liquid such as the back of the auricle, the periphery, and the earlobe may be washed away with water directly, but may be wiped off by the surface cleaning unit 12. After use, it can be stored hygienically by lightly washing with water, hanging on a hook, etc. and drying.
The cleaning tool X according to the present embodiment can absorb water sufficiently because the cleaning body 10 includes the detail cleaning unit 11 at the front end and the surface cleaning unit 12 on the rear end side, and the detail cleaning unit at the back of the outer ear. 11 is suppressed by the surface cleaning unit 12.

なお、芯２０の先端部２１はここではシリコーンゴムを用いているが、天然ゴムや他の合成ゴムなどのエラストマーであれば適宜採用することができる。また、面洗浄部や持ち手の形は適宜変更可能であり、面洗浄部を正面視四角や三角状としたり、持ち手を板状やリング状にしたりすることもできる。 The tip portion 21 of the core 20 is made of silicone rubber here, but any elastomer such as natural rubber or other synthetic rubber can be used as appropriate. In addition, the shape of the surface cleaning portion and the handle can be changed as appropriate, and the surface cleaning portion can be made into a square or triangular shape in front view, or the handle can be made into a plate shape or a ring shape.
