  For example, in the case of a sanitary tool for removing tongue coating on the tongue surface, in Patent Document 1, the tongue coating is scraped by bringing the tongue coating collection part and the tongue surface into line contact, whereas in Patent Documents 2 and 3, tongue coating is removed. The sheet to be removed and the tongue surface are brought into surface contact to remove tongue coating. That is, since the contact area can be increased by using the sheet to make surface contact with the tongue surface as in Patent Documents 2 and 3, tongue coating can be more efficiently removed. Therefore, it is useful that the sanitary tool for removing tongue coating is in the form of a sheet as in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3.

  However, the sheet-like sanitary tools disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 have the following problems.

  That is, in Patent Document 2, the left and right gripping portions are overlapped by cutting the rear end portion of the tongue coating removing sheet, and the portion is directly gripped by hand, and the tongue coating is removed at a three-dimensionally curved portion. When the tongue coating is removed by directly grasping the sheet with the hand, problems such as the adhesion of saliva to the hand during the tongue coating removal operation occur, resulting in poor workability.

  As one means for solving this problem, Patent Document 3 discloses that tongue coating removal work is performed by grasping a drawer member provided to pull out the tongue coating removal sheet outside the oral cavity. . As described above, gripping the drawer material can improve the workability of tongue coating removal work, but since the tongue coating removal sheet is made of paper, the drawer material is not strong enough and damaged during tongue coating removal work. There was a fear.

By the way, it is conceivable to increase the strength of the drawer material by using a synthetic resin for the drawer material. However, the synthetic resin has a higher material cost than that made of paper and is not suitable for a disposable use. In addition, when the sanitary tools that have been used are incinerated, the above-described materials contain more carbon and emit more CO ₂ , which worsens the global environment. Therefore, it has been desirable to reduce the number of synthetic resin materials used for sanitary tools as much as possible.

  As another sanitary tool, for example, in the case of a sanitary tool for applying cosmetics to the skin, in Patent Document 4, the cosmetic sheath is attached to the hand during the cosmetic application operation because the cosmetic sheath is attached to the hand. There was a problem. In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to use a cosmetic cotton holder disclosed in Patent Document 5, but this cosmetic cotton holder has a high material cost and is not suitable for disposable use.

-Description of the configuration of the present embodiment-
A sanitary tool 1 according to this embodiment is a disposable sanitary tool 1 that removes tongue coating adhering to the tongue surface, and includes a cloth piece 2 and a support tool 3 (see FIG. 1).

  The cloth piece 2 is a non-woven fabric that removes tongue coating adhering to the tongue surface, and is made of a synthetic fiber having water resistance such as polypropylene or polyester as a raw material. The surface of the cloth piece 2 has a convex portion 21 for entwining tongue coating (see FIGS. 1 and 3A). The cloth piece 2 of the present embodiment uses polypropylene synthetic fiber.

  The support 3 is made of a paper piece having rigidity, and includes an action portion 31 on one end side and a gripping portion 32 on the multi-end side.

  The action part 31 has a rounded tip so as not to damage the oral cavity even if the hygiene tool 1 is inserted into the oral cavity, and is covered with the synthetic resin film 4 made of the same material as the cloth piece 2 described above. On the synthetic resin film 4, the cloth piece 2 is attached by thermal fusion. In addition, since the amount of synthetic resin used is reduced by limiting the covering position of the synthetic resin film 4 to the position where the cloth piece 2 is attached, it is good for the environment. In the present embodiment, the cloth piece 2 and the synthetic resin film 4 are described as the same material. However, different materials may be used as long as the cloth piece 2 and the synthetic resin film 4 can be heat-sealed. The configuration of the synthetic resin film 4 will be described later.

  The grip portion 32 has a rounded shape so that both sides can be easily gripped, and is provided with a first crease L1 that facilitates bending for imparting strength to the grip portion 32 during use. (See FIG. 1). In the illustrated example, the first fold L1 is provided from the multi-end portion of the support tool 3 to the vicinity of the center of the support tool 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment as long as strength can be imparted to the grip portion 32. .

  Further, the support 3 of the present embodiment has a second crease L2 for providing an angle between the action part 31 and the grip part 32 in use near the boundary between the action part 31 and the grip part 32. Provided (see FIG. 1). In the illustrated example, two second folds L2 are provided obliquely toward both sides of the support 3 following the first fold L1, but between the action portion 31 and the grip portion 32. If the angle can be given to the second crease L2, the second crease L2 is not limited to this embodiment.

  In addition, the constriction is formed in the both sides of the center vicinity of the support tool 3 so that it may be easy to bend along the 2nd crease L2.

  Further, if the support 3 is folded along the second fold L2, the cloth piece 2 may be peeled off starting from the bent portion. To prevent this, the cloth piece 2 is at least in the second fold. The cloth piece 2 is covered and crimped along the second fold L2 at a position away from the second fold L2 toward the action part 31 (see FIGS. 1, 5, and 5). 6).

  Thereby, since the cloth piece 2 and the support tool 3 are pressure-bonded and firmly bonded in the vicinity of the second fold L2, even if the support tool 3 is bent at the second fold, the bent portion is the starting point. As a result, the cloth piece 2 can be prevented from peeling off. Further, since the cloth piece 2 is raised along the second fold L2, the support 3 can be accurately bent along the second fold L2.

  By the way, when manufacturing the sanitary tool 1 having the synthetic resin film 4 as a single layer, when the cloth piece 2 and the support tool 3 are heat-sealed, the seal head P (see FIG. 8 described later) of the heat-sealing device is used. When the support member 3 and the cloth piece 2 are heat-bonded by pressing against the cloth piece 2, the adhesion between the synthetic resin film 4 and the support piece 3 is good, but the cloth head 2 is pressed with the seal head P. In this case, there is a possibility that the melted cloth piece 2 adheres to the seal head P and the cloth piece 2 peels off. Further, if the fusion temperature at the time of thermal fusion is lowered in order to prevent the cloth piece 2 from being peeled off, there is a possibility that the adhesion between the synthetic resin film 4 and the support 3 is lowered.

  Therefore, the synthetic resin film 4 has a two-layer structure, the lower layer film 41 has a melting point suitable for thermal fusion with the support 3, and the upper layer film 42 is suitable for thermal fusion with the cloth piece 2. It has a melting point lower than the melting points of the lower layer film 41 and the cloth piece 2 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). In the present embodiment, considering the adhesiveness with the cloth piece 2, the upper layer film 42 is a polypropylene random polymer (melting point: 130 ° C. to 135 ° C.), and the lower layer film 41 is a polypropylene homopolymer (melting point: 160 ° C. to 165 ° C.). The materials of the upper layer film 42 and the lower layer film 41 are not limited to this example.

  With such a configuration, the adhesion between the support 3 and the lower layer film 41 is improved, and the seal head P of the heat-sealing device is pressed from above the cloth piece 2 at the time of heat-sealing. The cloth piece 2 does not adhere to the seal head P, and the sanitary tool 1 in which the cloth piece 2 and the support 3 are securely bonded can be obtained.

-Description of usage mode of this embodiment-
Next, the usage aspect of the sanitary implement of this invention is demonstrated.

  The support tool 3 is bent along the first fold L1 in the support tool 3 (see FIG. 2). As a result, the first crease L1 is used as a center line so that both sides of the support 3 overlap each other, so that the grip portion 32 is given strength. At the same time, the gap between the grip portion 32 and the action portion 31 is bent along the second fold L2. Thereby, an angle will be provided between the holding part 32 and the action part 31 (refer FIG. 3A).

  The hygiene tool 1 assembled in this way is inserted into the oral cavity, and the cloth piece 2 is brought into contact with the surface of the tongue t and rubbed together, whereby the tongue coating on the surface of the tongue t is entangled with the convex portion 21 of the cloth piece 2 and removed. (See FIG. 4).

-Effects of this embodiment-
As described above, in the sanitary tool 1 of the present embodiment, the grip 32 has a fold (first fold L1) that facilitates bending for imparting strength to the grip 32 during use. Since the strength is imparted to the gripping portion 32 by bending the gripping portion 32 along the crease, it is possible to prevent the sanitary tool 1 from being damaged during the tongue coating removal operation.

  Furthermore, since the synthetic resin film 4 is coated only on one surface of the action portion 31 in the support 3, the amount of the synthetic resin film 4 can be reduced as compared with the case where the synthetic resin film 4 is entirely coated. Also good.

  Furthermore, the cloth piece 2 and the synthetic resin film 4 are made of the same raw material, and by heat-sealing them, the adhesion between the cloth piece 2 and the synthetic resin film 4 can be given water resistance, The adhesive strength between them is extremely high. Therefore, even if the sanitary tool 1 is inserted into the oral cavity, it is possible to prevent saliva from penetrating and separating the support tool 3 and the cloth piece 2 from each other.

  Further, the adhesion by heat fusion does not affect the human body and is safer than the adhesion using an adhesive.

-Description of modification of this embodiment-
In addition, embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration in all the points, Comprising: It does not become a basis of limited interpretation. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not interpreted only by the above-described embodiments, but is defined based on the description of the scope of claims. Further, the technical scope of the present invention includes all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of the claims.

  For example, both the front and back surfaces of the action part 31 of the support 3 are covered with the synthetic resin film 4 made of the same material as the synthetic fiber of the cloth piece 2, and the cloth piece 2 is heat-sealed to both surfaces of the synthetic resin film 4. It is good also as a structure (refer FIG. 3B).

  According to such a configuration, since the cloth pieces 2 are heat-sealed on both front and back surfaces of the action portion 31, more tongue coating can be removed than when the cloth pieces 2 are attached only to one side. . In this case, in use, as shown in FIG. 3A, between the gripping portion 32 and the action portion 31, the folding direction of the gripping portion 32 is switched according to the cloth piece 2 brought into contact with the surface of the tongue t. A preferred angle for use can be given.

  Alternatively, the entire surface of the support 3 may be covered with the synthetic resin film 4 made of the same material as the synthetic fiber of the cloth piece 2.

  According to such a configuration, since the synthetic resin film 4 is coated on the entire surface of the support 3, the grip portion 32 is also coated with the synthetic resin film. Thereby, even if the sanitary tool 1 is inserted to the back of the oral cavity, it is possible to prevent saliva from penetrating into the grip portion 32.

  Further, the entire outer surface of the support 3 is covered with the synthetic resin film 4 made of the same material as the synthetic fiber of the cloth piece 2, and the cloth pieces 2 are heat-sealed on one side or both sides of the synthetic resin film 4. It is good also as a structure.

  With such a configuration, since the synthetic resin is coated on the entire outer surface of the support tool 3, even if the sanitary tool 1 is inserted to the back of the oral cavity, it can be prevented from being destroyed by the penetration of saliva, and on both surfaces. When the cloth piece 2 is provided, more tongue coating can be removed than the case where the cloth piece 2 is attached only to one side.

-Description of another embodiment of the present invention-
As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described as the sanitary tool for removing tongue coating on the tongue surface. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the cloth piece of the sanitary tool of the present invention is impregnated with cosmetics. It may be used for the application work which applies cosmetics to skin. Further, as another embodiment, cleaning work for removing dust and dirt from a corner of a room or entangled with a cloth piece of the sanitary tool of the present invention with dust or dirt attached to details of an electronic device. You may use for.

-Description of the production method of the present invention-
Next, the sanitary tool of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a manufacturing flow of a method for manufacturing a sanitary tool, and FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a manufacturing process (heat fusion process) of the sanitary tool.

  The sanitary tool manufacturing method of the present invention includes a cloth piece 2 made of synthetic fiber, and a support tool 3 made of a rigid paper piece having one end side as an action portion 31 and the other end side as a grip portion 32. It is a manufacturing method for manufacturing a sanitary tool 1 which is configured and the working part of the support tool 3 is covered with the synthetic resin film 4 made of the same material as the synthetic fiber of the cloth piece 2, comprising a laminating step, a placing step, a heat A fusion process and a crease formation process are included. Hereinafter, it demonstrates along a manufacturing flow (refer FIG. 7).

Lamination process The lamination process is a lower layer film 41 having a melting point suitable for heat fusion with the support 3 and a temperature lower than the melting point of the lower layer film 41 and the cloth piece 2 and heat fusion with the cloth piece 2. The synthetic resin film 4 having a two-layer structure composed of an upper layer film 42 having a melting point suitable for the above is laminated on the support 3.

  In this embodiment, the synthetic resin film 4 having a two-layer structure is conveyed by a known co-extrusion apparatus while transporting paper rolls R printed so that the patterns of the sanitary tools 1 in two rows are symmetrical to each other at a constant speed. Are laminated. The lower layer film 41 of the synthetic resin film 4 is a polypropylene homopolymer (melting point: 160 ° C. to 165 ° C.), and the upper layer film 42 is a random polymer of polypropylene (melting point: 130 ° C. to 135 ° C.). By setting the extrusion temperature to 320 ° C., the paper roll R and the synthetic resin film 4 can be favorably bonded.

  In this embodiment, the synthetic resin film 4 having a two-layer structure is laminated on the paper roll R by a known co-extrusion apparatus. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and the synthetic resin film 4 is laminated one by one. Also good.

Placement Step The placement step is a step of placing the cloth piece 2 made of the same material as the synthetic resin film 4 on the synthetic resin film 4.

  In the present embodiment, a cloth piece 2 having a width D is placed on the central portion of the roll R so as to cover the action portions 31 of the sanitary tools 1 in each row (see FIG. 8 described later).

Thermal fusion process The thermal fusion process is performed at a temperature higher than the melting point of the upper layer film 42 in the synthetic resin film 4 and at a temperature lower than the melting points of the lower layer film 41 and the fabric piece 2. 3 is a process of heat-sealing with No. 3.

  In the present embodiment, the heat fusion process is performed by a seal head P provided in a known heat fusion apparatus. The bottom surface of the seal head P is formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the action portion 31 of the sanitary tool 1, and the cloth piece 2 and the support tool 3 are molded by pressing the seal head P against the cloth piece 2. It is heat-sealed as taken (see FIG. 8).

  The temperature of the sealing head of the heat-sealing device when the cloth piece 2 and the support 3 are heat-sealed is lower than 160 ° C., which is the melting point of the polypropylene homopolymer (underlayer film 41), and polypropylene. The temperature is set to be higher than 135 ° C. which is the melting point of the random polymer (upper layer film 42). Therefore, when the cloth piece 2 is pressed against the synthetic resin film 4, only the upper layer film 42 of the synthetic resin film 4 is melted. That is, since the cloth piece 2 is not melted, the melted cloth piece 2 can be prevented from adhering to the seal head, and the support 3 and the cloth piece 2 can be heat-sealed.

  Further, the width d1 of the seal head P is designed to be slightly smaller than the width D of the cloth piece 2 placed in the placing step described above. As a result, when heat sealing, even if the pressing position of the seal head P is deviated, a margin is provided only for the difference between the width D of the cloth piece 2 and the width d1 of the seal head P. The cloth piece 2 can be pressed against the support 3.

  Further, the length d2 of the seal head P is designed to be a length corresponding to the length of two packages of the sanitary implement 1 printed on the conveyed roll R. Thereby, when heat-sealing, after the seal head P is pressed against the cloth piece 2, the roll R is conveyed by a length corresponding to one package of the sanitary implement 1, and the seal head P is pressed against the cloth piece 2 again. As a result, one package is pressed twice against the seal head P. Therefore, the cloth piece 2 and the support 3 can be reliably heat-sealed.

  In addition, after performing the process from a lamination process to a heat sealing | fusion process on the surface of the roll R, the hygiene tool 1 with which the cloth piece 2 was provided on both surfaces was performed again from the lamination process to the heat sealing | fusion process on the back surface of the roll R. It may be manufactured.

-Fold formation process A crease formation process is a process of forming a crease in grasping part 32 in support tool 3.

  In the present embodiment, the support 3 is processed to make it easy to fold by making cuts at positions corresponding to the first fold L1 and the second fold L2. In addition, when forming a crease by making a cut in the support tool, the sanitary tool 1 may be easily cut off by making a cut in the outer periphery of the sanitary tool 1.

  As described above, according to the method for manufacturing a sanitary tool according to the present invention, the adhesion between the support tool 3 and the synthetic resin film 4 is improved, and the synthetic resin film 4 and the cloth piece 2 are bonded together. A sanitary tool that does not peel off can be manufactured.

  Moreover, since the crease formation process which forms a crease | fold in the support tool 3 is provided after a heat sealing | fusion process, the holding | grip part 32 is bent along a crease | fold and intensity | strength is provided, or the holding | grip part 32 and the action part 31 are provided.
