Description

  The present invention relates to an ear pick.

  A cotton swab may be used to clean the ears. In general, a cotton swab is formed by winding a cotton fiber around a shaft rod in a lump, and is widely used for cleaning an ear, a medical tool, a cleaning tool for a precision machine, and the like. Since the cotton swab used for ear picking is made of cotton fibers rolled into a bowl-shaped lump, the ear wax may be pushed into the back when cleaning the ear. Repeating this process may cause ear plug embolism.

  On the other hand, normal ear scratches may damage the outer ear because the tip is harder than the skin. It is also difficult to remove powdered earwax. For this reason, there is an eaves or the like in which feathers are attached to the tip of a rod in a spherical shape. However, because the sky is larger than the ear canal, it can also push the earwax back.

  According to the ear pick described in Patent Document 1, an ear cleaning part is formed by a loop-shaped wire, and a wrapping paper is attached to the outer periphery using a sheet-like woven or non-woven fabric or paper or cotton or rubber as a wrapping paper. The ear cleaning tool characterized by having the part was disclosed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses, as an object of the invention, “providing a cotton swab having higher wiping performance while ensuring high water absorption”, and “cotton lump 2 attached to the end of shaft 1. Is covered with a cloth body 3 formed of microfiber, and the cloth body is used by turning a microfiber fabric formed into a bag shape by ultrasonic welding, and the cloth body turned over is used as the cotton lump portion. A cotton swab for precision instrument cleaning is disclosed.

  However, in the ear cleaning tool described in Patent Document 1, it is troublesome to wrap the wire around the wire, and it may be unraveled if the wrapping paper is not wound well.

  Moreover, the cotton swab described in Patent Document 2 is obtained by coating the cotton lump portion 2 with a cloth body 3 formed of microfibers. In the same manner as above, a substantially hemispherical shape is formed, and the earwax is pushed in with the tip of a cotton swab as described above. Furthermore, by turning the fabric over, it is easier to form the tip into a hemispherical shape. Moreover, since it attaches with the fixing tool 4, it takes time and is easy to become expensive, and also there exists a possibility that the fixing | fixed part 4 may peel off.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive and safe ear-scraper that can be easily and gently scratched without pushing the wax into the ear and can be cleaned cleanly. There is.

  Then, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the ear picking tool according to the present invention is an ear picking tool having a core and an action part to be wiped off, and the action part to be wiped is a cloth-like covering material, A sealing part was formed by sealing the seam of the cloth-like covering material so as to cover the core material with the cloth-like covering material, and a planar ear-scraping part was formed at least near the end to form a bag-like covering.

  Moreover, you may seal the said sealing part by either sewing, adhesion | attachment, welding, or these combination.

  In addition, the bag-like covering may seal the joint by combining two cloth-like covering materials or by folding the cloth-like covering material.

  Further, a part or the whole of the periphery of the sealing portion may be folded back inward.

  Further, one end of the cloth covering material may be fixed to the core material.

  The cloth-like covering material may be microfiber, paper, non-woven fabric, or a combination thereof.

  Further, both ends of the cloth-like covering material may be twisted in opposite directions.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an ear-scratch device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The ear-scraper 1 is a bag-shaped covering 4 in which the periphery of the core material 2 is covered with a cloth-shaped covering material 3 and the periphery is sewn with a sealing thread 5. In the vicinity of the end of the bag-like covering 4, an ear scraping portion 10 that scrapes off the earwax forming the sealing portion 6 is formed.

  1A is a plan view, FIG. 1B is a front view, and FIG. 1C is an example of a cross-sectional view. The bag-like covering 4 is formed of two cloths, and the periphery is sealed with a folded sealing thread 5 on the inside to form a sealing portion 6. By turning the periphery inward, you can get a soft feel without corners.

  The sealing part 6 forms a flat part around the bag-like covering 4 and in the vicinity of the end thereof, thereby forming an ear-pick part 10. The ear-scraping unit 10 scrapes off the earwax around the outer ear canal wall, for example, by rotating in the ear canal 1 in order to form a flat portion on the ear-scraper 1. Also, by scraping at the tip, unlike the conventional swab with a hemispherical tip, it can be scraped without pushing the earwax into the back.

  FIG. 1D shows a cross-section of another example, and shows an example in which the periphery of the bag-like covering 4 is not folded inward unlike FIG. 1C.

  The cloth-like covering material 3 is, for example, microfiber, non-woven fabric, synthetic fiber, Japanese paper, or a combination thereof, and here, for example, microfiber is used. Microfiber is not dusty and has high wiping performance, so it is suitable for scraping off powdered earwax. For example, the thickness is 0.2 mm to 1 mm, preferably 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The lateral width is, for example, 3 mm to 7 mm, preferably 4 mm to 5 mm. The fiber thickness of the microfiber is, for example, 2 to 10 microns.

  The core material 2 is a metal such as paper, wood, plastic, or aluminum, and the diameter is, for example, 1.3 mm to 3 mm. The length is, for example, 6 cm to 15 cm, preferably 8 cm to 9 cm. In addition, the cross-sectional shape may be round, square, rounded square or rectangle, or a combination thereof, and may not be the same shape as a whole. For example, the center may be round and the ends may be flat. . By flattening, the ear picking part 10 is further formed in a planar shape near the tip part.

  In addition, here, the cover is covered with the cloth-like covering material 3 and the periphery is sewn with the sealing thread 5, but it may be covered with the cloth-like covering material 3 and welded by an ultrasonic welding machine. Furthermore, you may adhere | attach with an adhesive agent.

  In addition, here, the two cloth-like covering materials 3 are stitched together to form the bag-like covering body 4. However, the three cloth-like covering materials 3 may each be sewn in a uniform width, for example, in a triangular shape. Regardless of the number of combinations and the shapes of the cloth-like covering materials 3, it is only necessary that the ear scraping portion 10 is configured to be flat in the vicinity of the end.

  Further, the cloth-like covering material 3 may be a cloth-like body that is synthesized and bonded, for example, a cloth-like covering material 3 using a covering material in which microfibers are bonded to the inside of the felt material is used as the cloth-like covering material 3. Thereby, the inside is soft and elastic, and the effect of improving water absorption can be enhanced.

  Hereinafter, components having the same configurations as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
