Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sucker, and more particularly, to a sucker used by a patient or a caregiver to cause a care recipient such as a patient who cannot freely drink water by himself to drink water. Is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently, as a sucker / drinker used when a caregiver causes a care recipient to drink water, a shape in which a spout 31 is provided in a container 30 as shown in FIG. 6 is generally used. Needless to say, this sucker / powder takes the lid 32, puts water into the container 30 and then covers the lid 32, puts the spout 31 into the care recipient's mouth, lifts the container 30 and pours water.
[0003]
In the case of this conventional sucker, if it is not used, water will be spilled before the spout 31 is brought to the mouth. This is because too much water is put into the container 30, but in the case of the conventional sucker, the tip height of the spout 31 is slightly inclined due to the structure that is close to the water surface height in the container 30. Therefore, even if it matches with the water volume scale attached to the container 30, it will be in this excessive state.
[0004]
In addition, in the case of a conventional sucker / drinker, the water may be spilled or drunk too much at one time due to the strong water force at the time of pouring, and the sucker / drinker may be spilled and spilled.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, since there are many problems with the conventional sucker, the present invention does not have such a problem, that is, the caregiver and the patient themselves are easy to use, and the container is filled with water. It is another object of the present invention to provide a sucking and drinking device in which spilling water during use is avoided as much as possible.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The sucker according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems has a container, a plug body screwed to the container, and a water inlet, and is rotatable to the plug body and slidable in a vertical direction within a predetermined range. A plug mechanism that closes a water flow port in the head by pushing the head against the plug, and opens the water flow by lifting the head from the plug. It is characterized by that.
[0007]
Preferably, a part of the side surface of the container is non-bulged, and the lower portion of the head is a double tube portion into which a support tube formed on the top surface of the plug body enters, and the support tube and the double tube portion In addition, there is provided a locking means that regulates the movement in the vertical direction in cooperation with each other.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a sucker according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, 1 is a container, 2 is a plug, 3 is a head having a water inlet 4, and usually both are plastic. It is made.
[0009]
A general container of this type has a shape that bulges outward as a whole (see FIG. 6). However, a part of the container 1 in the present invention (the left side surface in FIG. 1) is not bulged. The non-bulged portion 5 has been formed, and the water inlet 4 is preferably directed in that direction during use. The plug body 2 has a female screw part 6, and the female screw part 6 is screwed to a male screw part 7 formed on the upper surface of the container 1.
[0010]
A support cylinder 8 is erected on the upper surface of the female thread portion 6 of the plug body 2, and a protrusion 9 is provided around the middle portion of the outer peripheral surface of the support cylinder 8, and a stopper 10 is provided around the upper end portion of the outer peripheral surface. . In addition, support arms 11 extending from the side surfaces are radially arranged at the bottom of the support cylinder 8, and a plug 12 is erected at the center thereof.
[0011]
The lower part of the head 3 is a double cylinder part 13, and the support cylinder 8 enters between the inner and outer cylinders of the double cylinder part 13. A protrusion 14 is formed inside the outer cylinder of the double cylinder part 13. Further, a water inlet 15 that is opened and closed by the stopper 12 is formed on the head surface of the double cylinder portion 13.
[0012]
The plug 12 and the head 3 are integrated in a movable state. That is, when the support cylinder 8 is inserted between the inner and outer cylinders of the double cylinder portion 13 and the head 3 is pushed into the plug 2, the protrusion 14 exceeds the stopper 10, and the protrusion 14 is then engaged with the stopper 10. Stopped and won't come off. Thereafter, when a certain amount of force is applied to the head 3, the ridge 14 gets over the ridge 9 and is locked to the ridge 9 (the state of FIG. 4). In this state, the water inlet 15 is blocked by the stopper 12.
[0013]
When the head 3 is pulled up with a certain amount of force from this state, the ridge 14 gets over the ridge 9 and can slide up and down within the range between the ridge 9 and the stopper 10 and can be stopped at a desired position ( The state of FIG. In this state, the water flow opening 15 is opened, and the water flow is enabled. In any of the above states, the head 3 is rotatable in the horizontal direction with respect to the plug 2.
[0014]
The illustrated stopper mechanism is merely an example of a stopper mechanism that can be employed in the present invention, and the mechanism for opening and closing the water inlet by the push-pull operation is not limited to this, and various other mechanisms can be considered.
[0015]
The sucking and drinking device having the above configuration removes the plug 2 and the head 3 from the container 1 by turning the female screw portion 6 and fills the container 1 with water. The amount of filling does not matter. After filling, the plug body 2 and the head 3 are returned.
[0016]
In use, the head 3 is lifted to open the water inlet 15, and the container 1 is lifted by applying the water inlet 4 to the patient's mouth. At that time, the amount of water injection, in other words, the water flow can be adjusted by adjusting the lifting degree of the head 3. Moreover, since the head 3 can rotate 360 degrees with respect to the plug body 2, the water inlet 4 can be directed in any direction. If the head 3 is pushed down after use, the water inlet 15 is closed, so that there is no risk of spilling remaining water even if the head is pushed down.
[0017]
In the sucker according to the present invention, since the tip position of the water inlet 4 is high, water cannot be injected unless the container 1 is tilted to some extent. Therefore, inadvertent spilling is reduced, but when the remaining amount is reduced, it is difficult to inject water from the container 1, and water tends to remain in the container 1.
[0018]
However, when the non-bulged portion 5 is provided in a part of the container 1, if the water inlet 4 is directed in that direction, the water does not easily stop there, so that the water injection is hindered even if the remaining amount decreases. There is no, and it becomes difficult to remain.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is as described above, and it is easy for caregivers and patients themselves to use. Even if the container is filled with water, it is avoided to spill water during use as much as possible, and even if the remaining amount is low, water can be injected. It has the effect that it is easy to do and water hardly remains.
