Description

  The present invention relates to a nose cooling article suitable for alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as hay fever.

Conventionally, as means for alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis, there are a nasal part warmer described in Patent Document 1 and a nasal part cooling sheet described in Patent Document 2.
The nasal part warmer described in Patent Document 1 uses a heat retaining sheet to warm a user's nasal cavity or sinus cavity.
On the other hand, the nose cooling sheet described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a gel-like cold insulating material layer on one side of a base material such as a nonwoven fabric and covered with a cover sheet. The nasal portion cooling sheet has a shape capable of covering the nasal cavity or the paranasal sinuses, or can be cut into an arbitrary size.

  However, the prior art has room for improvement as described below.

  The nasal warming device described in Patent Document 1 is for warming the nose when allergic rhinitis such as hay fever develops. However, according to such means, allergic rhinitis symptom relief by warming the nose is only temporary, and after a relatively short time, symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing and runny nose. Is repeated. Allergic rhinitis such as hay fever is an overreaction of the immune function of the human body, considering allergic sources such as pollen as foreign substances. In that case, blood vessels spread, and moisture etc. ooze out from these blood vessels. It causes symptoms such as swelling of the inner mucous membrane. On the other hand, as described in Patent Document 1, even if the nasal part causing the above-described symptoms is warmed, this is only a temporary shock therapy, It is hard to say that they are dealing well.

On the other hand, the nasal part cooling sheet described in Patent Document 2 cools the nasal cavity or sinuses. For this reason, compared with the case of patent document 1, it can be set as the thing excellent in the symptom relief effect of allergic rhinitis.
However, effective suppression of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis is not effectively achieved by the abstract means of “cooling the nasal cavity or sinuses”, and more concreteness is required. For example, the sinuses include the frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, butterfly sinus, and maxillary sinus. It is clear in Patent Document 2 which of these is most effective for cooling. It has not been. In FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2, a rectangular cooling sheet is attached to the patient's forehead, and the frontal sinus of the patient's sinuses is cooled. However, according to such a method of use, it is difficult to say that the symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be sufficiently effectively suppressed, as will be understood from the description of the present invention described later. Further, paragraph [0020] of Patent Document 2 has a description that the sheet is stuck to the heat generating part of the nose, but in the first place, any part of the nose is particularly heated for general patients. It is difficult to accurately determine whether or not. Therefore, Patent Document 2 also has room for improvement in effectively suppressing allergic rhinitis.

JP-A-7-171176 JP2012-45101A

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances as described above, and provides a nasal cooling article suitable for effectively suppressing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as hay fever. That is the issue.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

The nose cooling article provided by the present invention includes a cooling sheet body configured to have a cooling surface by containing a coolant in a flat bag body, and is used to cool a user's nose. The cooling surface is in contact with a user's outer nose to cool the outer nose, and the user's cheek is in contact with a lateral portion of the nose wing to cool this portion. A nose cooling article comprising: a second region , wherein when the second region is brought into contact with a side portion of the nose wing, a part of the side portion of the nose wing is pressed. A convex portion that can be used, a handle that can be gripped by a user, and an auxiliary member that is attached to the handle; and the handle includes both the handle and the auxiliary member. The cooling sheet body is sandwiched between the cooling sheets. Is it possible to hold the body, the auxiliary member is characterized in that also serves as the convex portion.

According to such a configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
When allergic rhinitis such as hay fever develops, the nose and its surroundings generate heat, whereas if the nasal cooling article of the present invention is used, the user's outer nose and its The back part can be cooled and the side part of the nose wing and the back part of the cheek of the user can be cooled by the second region. Here, in the back part of the side part of the nose wing, there is a vicinity of the end part of the facial artery extending upward from the neck of the user, and many facial veins are concentrated. On the other hand, according to the present invention, such a portion can be cooled accurately and efficiently, and the expansion of each blood vessel described above can be suppressed. In other words, according to the present invention, the blood vessel is cooled in a portion on the near side of the nose portion of the route through which blood is supplied from the neck of the user toward the nose, thereby suppressing blood flow to the nose. Will be able to. For this reason, for example, as exemplified in Patent Document 2, unlike the means for cooling the forehead of the user, the amount of blood flowing throughout the nose can be reduced, and allergic symptoms can be more effectively suppressed. It becomes possible.
Therefore, according to the present invention, compared with Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is excellent in the effect of quickly eliminating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and the state in which those symptoms are suppressed is sustained for a long time. Can be expected. This will be understood from the demonstration examples described later.
Further, according to the above configuration, when the side portion of the user's nose wing (small nose) is cooled using the nose cooling article, the vascular group existing in the back is pressed by the convex portion, The blood flow of the blood vessel group can be weakened (the bulge can be partially pressed using the convex portion). As a result, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be more effectively suppressed.
Furthermore, according to the said structure, when cooling a nose part using a cooling sheet body, a user does not need to hold | grip a cooling sheet body with a hand directly, and should just hold | grip a handle. Therefore, it is suitably avoided that the user's hand gets cold. Moreover, since the auxiliary member for attaching the cooling sheet body to the handle also serves as a convex portion for pressing a desired portion, the configuration is reasonable.

  In the present invention, preferably, the second region includes a pair of left and right second regions, and the convex portion includes a pair of left and right convex portions. While cooling both sides using the pair of second regions, it is possible to press each part of the left and right sides of the nose wing using the pair of protrusions.

  According to such a structure, a desired site | part can be efficiently cooled with one nose part cooling article, and a nose part cooling effect can be made high.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the cooling sheet body has a substantially central portion in the lateral width direction so that the coolant is not accommodated in the longitudinal direction so that the first region is divided into left and right regions. A belt-like or linear hinge portion extending in a straight line is provided, and the cooling sheet body can be bent into a substantially V shape via the hinge portion.

  According to such a configuration, for example, even when the coolant becomes hard when the cooling sheet body is cooled, the cooling sheet body is substantially V-shaped via the hinge portion in which the coolant is not accommodated. It can be bent easily. Therefore, the user's outer nose is appropriately covered from both the left and right sides by the first region divided into the left and right two regions, and the pair of left and right second regions are appropriate near the left and right side portions of the user's nose wing. It can be easily made to contact with.

  In the present invention, preferably, it is provided with a cooling sheet body in which the coolant is accommodated in a flat bag body, and the convex portion is provided at a substantially central portion in the lateral width direction of the cooling sheet body, And the peripheral region of this convex part is made into the said 2nd area | region, and when the said 2nd area | region is made to contact one of the left and right both sides of a user's nose wing, When the first region is brought into contact with the user's outer nose as the first region, and when the second region is brought into contact with the other of the left and right side portions of the user's nose wing, An area closer to the other side edge in the horizontal width direction of the cooling sheet body can be brought into contact with a user's outer nose as the first area.

  According to such a configuration, the left and right side portions of the user's nose wing cannot be cooled at the same time by using only one cooling sheet body, but the left and right sides of the user's nose wing are used by using the cooling sheet body. It is possible to cool the portions alternately and appropriately one side at a time. At that time, it is also possible to suitably press the part of the side portion of the nose wing using the convex portion. Therefore, the operation intended by the present invention can be suitably obtained even with the above-described configuration. On the other hand, since the size of the cooling sheet body can be reduced, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the handleability.

In the present invention, preferably, a water-containing gel that exhibits an action of depriving heat of vaporization when water is evaporated is used as the coolant , and the cooling sheet body is formed on one side of a base sheet in which the water-containing gel is flexible. are as provided configuration, the surface of the water-containing gel, being with the cooling surface.

  According to such a configuration, if the surface of the hydrogel is brought into contact with the user's nose, the action of cooling the nose can be obtained. In use, the coolant is cooled in advance using a refrigerator or the like. There is no need to keep it. Therefore, it is suitable for use on the go such as travel.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the cooling surface further includes a third region for covering and cooling the user's eyes.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to simultaneously obtain an effect of cooling the eyes of the user and relieving itching and redness of the eyes.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  A nose cooling article A1 shown in FIG. 1 has a cooling sheet body S and a pair of left and right convex portions 3 for blood vessel compression.

  The cooling sheet body S has a configuration in which the coolant 2 is accommodated in a flat bag body 1, and the shape of the front view thereof is, for example, an ellipse or an ellipse. The overall size of the cooling sheet body S is slightly longer than the size necessary to cover the outer nose 90 of the user U during use, which will be described later with reference to FIG. However, the size of the outer nose varies greatly between children and adults, and there are variations in individual differences. For this reason, as the nose cooling article A1, it is possible to manufacture and prepare a plurality of types of cooling sheet bodies S having different sizes so that a size suitable for the user U can be provided. preferable.

  The coolant 2 is, for example, an antifreeze gel, and is the same as that used in a cryogen or the like (for example, described in JP-A-2005-133037). The bag body 1 of the cooling sheet body S is, for example, a hermetic bag by stacking two front and back flexible resin sheets 10 and 11 and heat-sealing (welding or fusing) these outer peripheral edges. It is formed as a body. A linear or belt-like hinge portion 12 extending in the vertical direction is provided at the central portion in the horizontal width direction of the cooling sheet body S. The hinge portion 12 is a heat seal portion between the resin sheets 10 and 11 and is a portion where the coolant 2 is not accommodated inside. As shown in FIG. 2, the hinge portion 12 is a portion that plays a role of facilitating the bending of the cooling sheet body S into a substantially Λ shape. Moreover, it is also a part which plays the role which makes the user U detect easily that the cooling sheet | seat body S is bent and used in that way.

  The entire surface of the cooling sheet body S can be a cooling surface for cooling a desired portion, but substantially one side on which the pair of convex portions 3 are provided is for cooling the nose portion. A cooling surface Cf, that is, a surface that is inside when in use and contacts the nose of the user U. The cooling surface Cf covers the first region AR1 for cooling the outer nose 90 of the user U shown in FIG. 3A and the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wing (small nose) of the cheeks of the user U. And a pair of left and right second regions AR2 for cooling. However, the first area AR1 is divided into two areas on the left and right by the hinge 12 described above. The first area AR1 and the second area AR2 are in a state where there is no clear boundary between them and they are connected in series. However, unlike the present embodiment, the above-described boundary may be clarified by forming, for example, a hinge portion similar to the hinge portion 12 at the boundary portion between the first region AR1 and the second region AR2.

  The pair of convex portions 3 are portions for partially pressing a part of the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wing, and are provided, for example, by adhering a hemispherical or spherical resin member to the second region AR2. ing. When the coolant 2 is cooled using a refrigerator or the like, the temperature of the convex portion 3 is also lowered, and can be used as a portion for cooling the portion 91 described above. For this reason, the surface of the convex part 3 also comprises a part of cooling surface as used in the field of this invention, and is equivalent to a part of 2nd area | region AR2.

  Next, the operation of the above-described nose cooling article A1 will be described.

  First, in order to use the nose cooling article A1, the nose cooling article A1 is put in a refrigerator or the like in advance and the coolant 2 is cooled. Next, when symptoms such as hay fever appear or when symptoms are likely to occur, as shown in FIG. 3B, the nose cooling article A1 is pressed against the nose to cool the nose. . In this case, the outer nose 90 is covered and cooled by the first area AR1, and the left and right side portions 91 of the user U's nose wing are covered and cooled by the second area AR2. Although not shown in the drawing, the user U may press the nose cooling article A1 with his / her hand so as not to drop or shift the position.

The first area AR1 is divided into two areas on the left and right sides via the hinge portion 12, and can be easily set to a state bent substantially in the shape of Λ. The first region AR1 can be appropriately brought into contact. Further, if the cooling sheet body S is bent in a substantially Λ shape as described above, the pair of left and right second regions AR2 and the pair of convex portions 3 can be suitably brought into contact with the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wing. It is.

  According to the method of use as described above, the back part of the outer nose 90 and the back part of the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wing are cooled, and these parts suppress symptoms that excessively react to the allergic source. Can do. Here, the important point is that blood vessels (facial arteries, facial veins, etc.) for supplying blood upward from the human neck to the nose are concentrated in the back of the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wing. And the second area AR2 efficiently and appropriately cools such a part, suppresses the expansion of many blood vessels existing in such a part, and also prevents blood flow to the nose. It is to demonstrate the role to suppress. For this reason, it is possible to alleviate allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose at an early stage and to maintain this alleviated state for a long time.

  In particular, in the nasal cooling article A1 of the present embodiment, the portion 91 is pressed by pressing the pair of convex portions 3 against a part of the left and right side portions 91 (preferably, a portion called a percussion). It is possible to reduce the blood flow in this part by compressing the blood vessels existing in the back of the body. By this, the excessive reaction state with respect to an allergen can be suppressed more appropriately, and the symptom alleviation effect of allergic rhinitis can be made more excellent. Since the distal end surface of the convex portion 3 has a substantially spherical shape, it is possible to appropriately press the blood vessel while not giving the user U great pain or discomfort.

  This inventor obtained the following demonstration example as what supports the above effect about nose cooling article A1. The nose cooling article used for the experiment has the same configuration as the nose cooling article A1 of the above embodiment. It goes without saying that the nose cooling article A1 has been sufficiently cooled in a refrigerator in advance.

[Demonstration Example 1]
The test subject is a 44-year-old male and has a history of being diagnosed with hay fever by a doctor.
In the end of March 2013, the subject woke up at 4:00 am while sleeping and ran up with a large amount of runny nose. However, when the nose cooling article was used, the runny nose and cough stopped after about 10 minutes. The symptom disappeared after about 10 minutes when the nose cooling article was reused because the nose started to mess around midnight on the same day. The next morning, the nose was normal, and there were no symptoms of runny nose or cough the same day.
[Demonstration example 2]
The test subject was a 37-year-old male who had not been diagnosed with hay fever by a doctor, but had been experiencing symptoms of hay fever since around the spring of 2012.
In mid-April 2013, the subject's runny no longer stopped around 11:00 am during work, and when the nose cooling article was used, the runny nose stopped after about 10 minutes. The use of the nose cooling article for 10 minutes from about 5:00 pm on the same day was repeated three times at an appropriate time interval. The next day, there was no symptom of runny nose.
[Demonstration example 3]
The test subject was a 9-year-old male and had a history of being diagnosed with hay fever by a doctor.
In mid-September 2013, around 8 am, she developed a runny nose and cough with fever in the head. Correspondingly, a nose cooling article was used for 10 minutes. At that time, the subject fell asleep, but nose and cough stopped after waking up after 2 hours. A few runny noses and coughs appeared at 5 and 8 pm on the same day. In this case, the symptoms were alleviated by using a nasal cooling article for 10 minutes. The next day, the symptoms of runny nose and cough disappeared. My body temperature returned to normal.

It can be understood from the above-described demonstration example that the nasal part cooling article according to the present invention can provide an excellent effect in alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis. In addition, there are also demonstration examples other than the above as demonstration examples that can recognize the effectiveness of the present invention. Although the description is omitted, in any case, by using the nasal cooling device according to the present invention, many demonstrative examples in which the allergic rhinitis symptom relieving effect is clearly recognized have been obtained.

4 to 15 show other embodiments of the nose cooling article . In these drawings, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment, and redundant description is omitted.

  The nose cooling article A2 shown in FIG. 4 has a cooling sheet body S configured such that a hydrous gel 2A is laminated as a cooling material on one surface of a base material sheet 15 made of a resin having flexibility. The surface of the water-containing gel 2A is a cooling surface Cf, and the water-containing gel 2A exhibits an effect of taking heat away when the water in the water-containing gel 2A evaporates. A protective sheet 16 for preventing drying of the hydrogel 2A is overlaid on the cooling surface Cf. The protective sheet 16 is provided with a hole 16a for allowing the pair of left and right convex portions 3 to pass therethrough.

According to the present embodiment, when using the nose cooling article A2, the protective sheet 16 may be peeled off from the cooling surface Cf, and then the cooling surface Cf may be brought into contact with a predetermined part of the user U. Unlike the nose cooling article A1 of the above-described embodiment, it is not necessary to cool the nose cooling article A2 in advance using a refrigerator or the like. Therefore, it can be used easily and conveniently on a trip or in other places. Further, the hydrogel 2A has wettability and its surface is sticky. For this reason, it is possible to affix the nose cooling article A2 to a predetermined site such as the nose of the user U using the adhesiveness. As a result, an effect of eliminating or reducing the necessity of the user U holding the nose cooling article A2 by hand can be obtained.
As understood from the present embodiment and the above-described embodiments, the coolant referred to in the present invention is one that exhibits a heat absorption action when cooled using a refrigerator or the like, and heat without being cooled using a refrigerator or the like. Any of those exhibiting an absorbing action may be used. There are no particular limitations on the specific types and components of the coolant.

  In the cooling sheet body S of the nose cooling article A3 shown in FIG. 5, a thickness reducing portion 80 of the hydrogel 2A is provided at the approximate center of the first region AR1 in the horizontal width direction. The thickness reducing portion 80 is a portion where the thickness of the hydrogel 2A is made smaller than that of the other portions, and can be a portion where the hydrogel 2A is not provided at all (thickness is zero). According to such a structure, the part corresponding to the thickness reduction | decrease part 80 becomes the hinge part 12A among the base material sheets 15, and the advantage which can make it easy to bend the nose part cooling article A3 in substantially V shape is acquired. It is done.

  The nose cooling article A4 shown in FIG. 6 has a configuration in which one end of each of the pair of belts 4a and 4b is connected to the cooling sheet body S. A hook-and-loop fastener 40 (such as Velcro (registered trademark)) is provided on the other end side of each of the belts 4a and 4b.

  According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the nose cooling article A4 can be fixedly held at a predetermined position on the face of the user U by using the belts 4a and 4b. is there. Although not shown in the drawings, the other end portions of the belts 4a and 4b are connected to each other using a hook-and-loop fastener 40 in the vicinity of the back of the user U. In the present embodiment, it is unnecessary for the user U to hold down the nose cooling article A4 by hand or less, which is convenient for the user U. Since the hook-and-loop fastener 40 is used as a means for connecting the belts 4a and 4b, the lengths of the belts 4a and 4b can be easily adjusted, which is easy to use.

  The nose cooling article A5 shown in FIG. 7 has a configuration in which the cooling sheet body S is fixedly attached to the inside of the mask 5 having the string 50 for hooking ears. The cooling sheet body S may be in either a state where it can be removed from the mask 5 or a state where it cannot be removed.

  According to this embodiment, in addition to being able to avoid using the mask 5 that allergic sources such as pollen enter directly into the mouth and nose, the cooling sheet body S is placed at a predetermined position on the face of the user U. The mask 5 can also be fixed and held. Further, by concealing the entire or substantially entire cooling sheet body S with the mask 5, the nose cooling article A5 can be made inconspicuous from the outside.

  In the nose cooling article A6 shown in FIG. 8, the cooling sheet body S is formed in a size larger than the nose cooling articles A1 to A5 of the other embodiments described above, and the first and second regions AR1. , AR2 and a pair of left and right third regions AR3 for covering both eyes of user U (and its surroundings). Preferably, the third region AR3 is provided with a pair of convex portions 8 for pressing the left and right sides of the nasal root portion of the user U. The convex portion 8 has the same configuration as the convex portion 3 described above, for example.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to cool both eyes and its peripheral part of the user U using the third region AR3 of the cooling sheet body S, and itching and congesting the eyes are alleviated, and allergic symptoms are reduced. A more favorable effect can be expected in terms of suppression. Moreover, if both sides of the nasal root portion of the user U are pressed using the pair of convex portions 8, the blood vessel in the inner portion of the user U is pressed, and the blood flow toward the nerves and tissues of the eye can be further suppressed. . Therefore, itching and redness of the eyes can be alleviated more effectively.
As will be understood from the present embodiment, the nose cooling article according to the present invention cools other parts such as the user's U's eyes at the same time in addition to the user's outer nose and the left and right sides of the nose wing. It can also be configured as possible.

  In the nose cooling article A7 shown in FIG. 9, convex portions 3A for pressing the left and right side portions of the nose wing of the user U are configured using the bag body 1. More specifically, the resin sheet 11 constituting the bag body 1 is partially formed with a bulging portion 11a. In the bulging portion 11a, the coolant 2 in the bag body 1 is formed. Some have entered. When the coolant 2 is cooled and cured, the above-described bulging portion 11a becomes a convex portion 3A having a certain degree of hardness.

According to this embodiment, it is not necessary to form the convex portion 3A using a member separate from the bag body 1, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since the coolant 2 is present in the convex portion 3A, there is an advantage that the outer surface of the convex portion 3A can be maintained at a low temperature and the effect of cooling the portion in contact with the convex portion 3A can be enhanced. It is done.
The same configuration as the convex portion 3A of the present embodiment can also be applied to the convex portion 8 shown in FIG.

  A nose cooling article A8 shown in FIG. 10 is configured using a cooling sheet body Sa, a handle 6, and an auxiliary member 3B. As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13, the nose cooling article A8 is for cooling the nose of the user U and the vicinity thereof on the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 11, the cooling sheet body Sa has a structure in which a coolant 2 is enclosed in a flat bag body 1. For example, the cooling sheet body Sa has a substantially egg shape or a similar shape in front view, A hole 13 is provided at a position near the lower portion of the substantially central portion. Preferably, the upper and lower sides of the hole 13 are provided with hinge portions 12 extending in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction) for facilitating the folding of the cooling sheet body Sa into a substantially V shape. .

In FIG. 10, the handle 6 and the auxiliary member 3B are made of resin, for example. The handle 6 has a shape and size preferable for the user U to hold with one hand, and a flange portion 60 and a shaft portion 61 are provided at the distal end portion thereof. The shaft portion 61 is inserted through the hole 13 of the cooling sheet body Sa, and the auxiliary member 3B is attached to the tip portion of the shaft portion 61. The auxiliary member 3B is, for example, hemispherical and has a recess 31 into which the shaft portion 61 is fitted. The concave portion 31 and the shaft portion 61 are provided with an engaging concave portion 32 and a convex portion 62 that can be engaged with and disengaged from each other, and the auxiliary member 3B is attached to the shaft portion 61 by engaging with each other. Yes. The engaging state of the engaging concave portion 32 and the convex portion 62 can be forcibly released by pulling the auxiliary member 3B with a relatively strong force, whereby the auxiliary member 3B is removed from the shaft portion 61. It is possible. In the nose cooling article A8 of this embodiment, the cooling sheet body Sa is sandwiched between the flange portion 60 of the handle 6 and the auxiliary member 3B and is held at the distal end portion of the handle 6. The auxiliary member 3B also serves as the convex portion 3.

  In the cooling sheet body Sa, the peripheral region of the convex portion 3 corresponds to the second region AR2. On the other hand, the position of the first area AR1 is not specified. As will be described below, depending on how the nose cooling article S8 is used, one of the left and right side edge areas of the cooling sheet body Sa One region AR1.

The nose cooling article A8 of this embodiment is used in the following manner.
First, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the user U holds the handle 6, for example, brings the second region AR2 into contact with the right side portion 91 (left side as viewed in the drawing) of the nose wing, It is used so as to be pressed by the convex part 3. At that time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the cooling sheet body Sa is bent at the position of the hinge portion 12 so that the right edge area of the cooling sheet body Sa is set as the first area AR1, and the outer nose The right side of 90 (one side on the left side in the drawing) and the vicinity of the top of the outer nose 90 are brought into contact. As a result, the outer nose 90 can be cooled. After the right region of the nose is appropriately cooled in this manner of use, the second region AR2 is brought into contact with the left side portion 91 of the nose wing as shown in FIG. The part is pressed by the convex part 3. In that case, the cooling sheet body Sa is bent at the position of the hinge portion 12, so that the region near the left edge of the cooling sheet body Sa is placed on one side on the left side of the outer nose 90 (one side on the right side in the drawing) or the outer nose. Near the top of 90 can be contacted.

  If used in the manner as described above, the right and left regions of the nose of the user U can be individually and sequentially cooled. Since it is not a usage mode in which the left and right wide areas of the nose of the user U are collectively covered by the cooling sheet body Sa, the user U has little feeling of pressure and the user U can easily use the nose cooling article A8. The effect which becomes easy can be expected. The size of the cooling sheet body Sa is about half that of the cooling sheet body S of the above-described embodiment. Therefore, the cost of the cooling sheet body Sa can be reduced, and the usability of the nose cooling article A8 can be improved.

As will be understood from the present embodiment, the specific structure for connecting the auxiliary member 3C and the handle 6 is not limited. Unlike the embodiment described above, a shaft portion is formed in the auxiliary member 3C, the shaft portion is inserted into the hole portion 13 of the cooling sheet body Sa, and the shaft portion is provided in the handle 6. Ru can also be employed means such as to be fitted in.

  In the nose cooling article A10 shown in FIG. 15 (a), the cooling sheet body S is formed in a size that can cool the outer nose and a predetermined area around the outer nose and the hinge portion 12. A pair of left and right holes 13 are provided. The handle 6A is provided with a pair of left and right flange portions 60 and a shaft portion 61. After these shaft portions 61 are inserted into the holes 13, the front end portions of the pair of shaft portions 61 are provided with auxiliary members. The member 3B is attached, and the cooling sheet body S can be held by the handle 6A.

  In this embodiment, it is used in a manner as shown in FIG. 15B, and for example, it is possible to suitably obtain a nasal part cooling action similar to that of the nasal part cooling article A1 shown in FIG. In addition, each of the two auxiliary members 3B also serves as the convex portion 3, and it is possible to appropriately press the specific portions of the left and right side portions 91 of the nose wings using these portions. According to this embodiment, similarly to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, the cooling sheet body S can be easily attached to and detached from the handle 6 </ b> A. It can be easily replaced with a cooling sheet body. Further, the cooling sheet body S can be accommodated in the refrigerator in a state where it is detached from the handle 6A, and the flexibility is excellent.

  The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiment. The specific configuration of each part of the nose cooling article according to the present invention can be variously modified within the intended scope of the present invention.

  For example, the cooling sheet bodies S and Sa of the above-described embodiment have an oval shape, an oval shape, or an egg shape when viewed from the front, but may have other shapes. Further, since the size of the nose varies depending on the person, the specific size of the cooling sheet body is not specified. When the nose cooling article according to the present invention is manufactured and sold, it is classified into, for example, an adult type or a child type, and each standard size is manufactured or sold, or a cooling sheet. It is also possible to manufacture and sell the body by dividing it into multiple stages such as large, medium and small. The nose cooling article according to the present invention may be formed into a three-dimensional shape preferable for covering the outer nose, for example, instead of a flat sheet-like article.

  In this invention, the convex part for pressing a part of right and left both sides part of a user's nose wing is not limited to hemisphere or spherical shape, It can be set as another shape. The specific material of the convex part is not limited. Moreover, the specific number is not limited, You may provide in the left-right pair or more.

  In the present invention, the belt shown in FIG. 6, the mask shown in FIG. 7, the handle shown in FIG. 10, etc. are used as means for maintaining the cooling sheet body in contact with the user's nose. In addition to the means to be used, it is possible to employ means for providing an adhesive tape at appropriate positions such as the left and right sides of the cooling sheet body and sticking the cooling sheet body to the user's face. Furthermore, for example, various means such as a means for attaching a string to the cooling sheet body and hooking the string on both ears of the user can be adopted.
