Description

The present invention relates to a cleaning tool.

Conventionally, a cleaning tool having a shaft portion and a cleaning body portion is generally used. Cotton swabs are well known as such cleaning tools, and are widely used not only as cleaning tools for body parts such as ears and nose, but also as cleaning tools for fine parts such as precision instruments. However, since the cotton ball portion of a general cotton swab is simply a cotton fiber wound around a shaft, it is not easy to completely remove dirt. In order to improve such a cotton swab, a so-called adhesive cotton swab in which an adhesive is applied to the cotton ball portion has been developed.

Patent Document 1 discloses a cotton swab using an acrylic adhesive, a urethane adhesive, a rubber adhesive, or the like as an adhesive. Patent Document 2 discloses a cotton swab in which various synthetic rubbers containing a tackifier such as rosin and adhesives made of synthetic resin are held on the surface of the cotton ball part. Although such an adhesive swab can easily remove dirt, the feeling of the synthetic resin is not preferable. None of these were high water blends, and therefore the effect of blending and releasing a water-soluble active ingredient could not be expected. Furthermore, some conventional swabs impregnate a cotton ball with a water-soluble liquid, but there is a problem in that moisture drips due to insufficient water retention capability. Furthermore, since it does not have adhesiveness on the surface, it is not possible to obtain an improvement in dirt removal ability.

Patent Document 3 discloses an antibacterial cotton swab provided with a cotton body in which a disinfectant is impregnated and fixed with a binder. As the binder, cellulose type such as methyl cellulose and ethyl cellulose, starch, acrylic emulsion, vinyl chloride type emulsion and the like are used. However, the purpose was to fix the antibacterial agent to the cotton body part, and it was not expected to be easy to remove dirt, feel and function of these binders themselves.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 Axis 2 Cleaning body part 4 Annular groove 5 Coating layer 6 Adhesive layer

The cleaning tool of the present invention is characterized by having a water-soluble polymer composition containing water and a water-soluble polymer on at least the surface of the cleaning body part, and the water content of the water-soluble polymer composition is It is preferable that it is 30-95 mass%. Thus, by having the surface which consists of a composition containing water, a stain | pollution | contamination can be removed suitably, giving favorable feelings, such as a refreshing feeling. Furthermore, when an active ingredient is added to the water-soluble polymer composition, the active ingredient is released when the cleaning tool is pressed against the ear, nose, etc. during use. .

The cleaning body part is partly or entirely made of the water-soluble polymer composition. In other words, a cleaning body portion of a molded body in which at least one end of a rod shape is formed into a predetermined shape is formed with a film made of the water-soluble polymer composition (FIG. 4), and the water-soluble polymer composition is substantially spindle-shaped. Examples include a product formed into a shape suitable for cleaning such as a shape, and the shaft portion and an adhesive bonded to each other (FIG. 5). These production methods and raw materials (shaft portion, adhesive, etc.) used other than the water-soluble polymer are not particularly limited, and any known one can be used.

The type of the water-soluble polymer is not particularly limited as long as it constitutes a gel composition having a self-form-retaining property in a state where the entire composition is hydrated. As the water-soluble polymer, either a natural water-soluble polymer or a synthetic water-soluble polymer can be used, and a mixture thereof can also be used. Among natural water-soluble polymers, polysaccharides are particularly preferable. Specific examples of the natural water-soluble polymer include carrageenan, locust bean gum, glucomannan, agar, agarose, xanthan gum, guar gum, gellan gum, tamarind seed gum, karaya gum, pectin, gelatin and the like.

Specific examples of the synthetic water-soluble polymer include carboxymethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, carboxyvinyl polymer, polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, acrylic acid / methacrylic acid copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, alginic acid, graft starch, Examples thereof include agarose, polyglutamic acid, Ernest gum or salts thereof and partially neutralized products. If necessary, the gel strength can be increased by using the water-soluble polymer in combination with a crosslinking agent such as potassium chloride or calcium lactate.
The water-soluble polymer can be used as one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds.

The water-soluble polymer is one or more selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid and salts thereof, polymethacrylic acid and salts thereof, and copolymers having acrylic acid and / or salts thereof as a part of structural units. More preferred is an acrylic acid / methacrylic acid copolymer. One or more polymers selected from the group consisting of the polyacrylic acid and salts thereof, polymethacrylic acid and salts thereof, and copolymers having acrylic acid and / or salts thereof as a part of structural units are used. Therefore, it is preferable because water can be contained stably. As the one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of the polyacrylic acid and its salt, polymethacrylic acid and its salt, and a copolymer having acrylic acid and / or its salt as a part of the structural unit, These ammonium salts, potassium salts or sodium salts are more preferable, and sodium salts are particularly preferable. As a salt of the polymer, it can be used as a mixture of two or more.

As the water-soluble polymer, those having a gel strength of about 60 to 100 g are suitable. The gel strength here is necessary to push the plunger down the surface of the water-soluble polymer gel by 4 mm at a speed of 6 cm / min using, for example, a rheometer equipped with a 0.5 inch diameter plunger. Intensity expressed in grams.

The water-soluble polymer composition preferably has a water content of 30 to 95% by mass. If the water content is less than 30% by mass, a good feel may not be obtained. If it exceeds 95% by mass, the gel strength necessary for removing dirt may not be obtained. The water content is more preferably 40 to 70% by mass.

The water-soluble polymer composition preferably further contains a polyhydric alcohol and / or saccharide. The polyhydric alcohol and / or saccharide is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include butylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, concentrated glycerin, dipropylene glycol, sorbitol, trehalose, maltitol, maltose, glucose, and xylitol.

The silica powder having an average particle size in the range of 2 to 10 μm is preferably used. When the average particle size is larger than 10 μm, it is not preferable in that it tends to settle in the water-soluble polymer composition, and it is difficult to obtain a uniform mixture, resulting in unevenness in the strength of the final base. On the other hand, when the average particle size is smaller than 2 μm, the viscosity of the mixed gel composition becomes too high, which is not preferable in terms of poor formulation and moldability. In particular, porous synthetic silica powder is preferable because it hardly inhibits the transparency of the gel base. The average particle size is measured by a laser method (JIS K 1150).

The water-soluble polymer composition may be transparent or colored. When making it transparent, a polymer with high transparency may be selected as the water-soluble polymer. Moreover, when coloring, it can color by methods, such as mix | blending a coloring agent with the said water-soluble polymer composition. For example, the colorant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include colorants that are usually used for cosmetics.
