Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a nasal plug unit of a type that is packed and held in a nostril.

  If the runny nose does not stop due to hay fever or the like, the nose must be constantly blown with a tissue or the like, and it is very painful to repeat the act. In order to save such troubles, there is a known idea of filling the nostrils with a pad made of a water-absorbing material. However, simply filling the stuffing made it difficult to breathe through the nostrils, making it extremely difficult for the user to breathe, and extremely poor in usability.

  There is also known a device designed to facilitate breathing when such a filling is packed in a nostril (for example, see Patent Document 1). In Patent Literature 1, the shape of the filling is cylindrical, and breathing from the hollow portion is enabled.

  However, if a cavity for breathing is provided as in Patent Literature 1, it becomes difficult to remove the padding from the nasal cavity. When removing the stuffing from the nostrils, the stuffing is often pushed out using the pressure of expiration from the lungs in a manner that blows the nose. However, the presence of the cavity increases the expiratory pressure loss, so that it is difficult to push the padding outward due to the expiratory wind pressure. For this reason, the only option is to pick up the stuffing with a finger and take it out. Because the nostrils are very small in diameter relative to the fingers, it is difficult to pinch the filling in the nostrils. In addition, when the stuffing is carried out into the nostrils, the stuffing may be pushed too far with the finger. If the stuffing is deeply inserted into the nostrils, the work of taking out the stuffing (the work of picking and taking out with the finger) becomes more difficult and the handling property is poor.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a nasal plug unit that can be easily taken out from a nostril and can be arranged at an appropriate pushing position in the nostril in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional technology.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a nasal plug body having a hollow cylindrical shape formed of a water-absorbing material to be inserted into and removed from a human nostril, and an axial direction of the nasal plug body. A through hole that penetrates, an auxiliary tool for inserting and removing the nasal plug main body from and into the nostril, and a rod-shaped rod material longer than the through hole; A cap portion having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the through-hole that is disposed and spread outward, and is disposed in a middle portion of the bar and at a position longer than the entire length of the through-hole from the cap portion, and A nasal plug unit provided with an auxiliary tool that includes a disc portion that extends outward and has a diameter larger than the diameter of the through hole.

  Preferably, a projecting distance of a portion of the cap portion extending outward from the bar is shorter than a spreading distance from the through hole to an outer edge of the nasal plug main body at a tip end surface in the insertion direction of the nasal plug main body. .

  Preferably, a set distance from the cap portion to the disc portion is substantially the same as the entire length of the through hole.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in the state in which the nasal plug main body is inserted in a nostril, a nasal plug is easily inserted by inserting an auxiliary tool into a through-hole, and hooking the lower surface of a cap part to the tip end surface of a nasal plug main body and pulling it down. The main body can be taken out. Also, when inserting the nostril body into the nostril, when inserting the assisting tool into the nostril and inserting it into the nostril, the disc portion abuts the lower surface of the nose, so the nostril body is deeper than necessary in the nostril Is prevented from being inserted.

It is the schematic which shows the nasal plug main body of the nasal plug unit which concerns on this invention. It is the schematic which shows the auxiliary tool of the nasal plug unit which concerns on this invention. It is explanatory drawing at the time of inserting a nasal plug main body into a nostril. It is explanatory drawing at the time of inserting a nasal plug main body into a nostril. It is explanatory drawing at the time of taking out a nasal plug main body from a nostril. It is explanatory drawing at the time of taking out a nasal plug main body from a nostril. It is the schematic which shows the example of utilization of the nasal plug unit which concerns on this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a nasal plug main body 2, which is a part of a component of a nasal plug unit 1 according to the present invention, has a hollow cylindrical shape. Therefore, the through-hole 3 is formed to penetrate in the axial direction of the nasal plug main body 2. Since the nasal plug main body 2 is to be inserted into and removed from a human nostril, its side surface is tapered so as to taper toward one end (the upper end side in FIG. 1). Is formed. That is, since it is inserted into the nostril from the tapered tip side, the shape is easy to insert. However, the nasal plug main body 2 may be a cylindrical shape having no tapered shape. When inserted into the nostrils, the nasal plug main body 2 is made of a water-absorbing material to absorb the runny nose and the like in order to prevent the runny nose and the like from hanging down from the nostril. At this time, the nasal plug main body 2 is preferably black. By making the color black, it becomes the same color as when the nostril of the person is seen from the outside, so that it can be worn without any discomfort from the appearance.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the nasal plug unit 1 further includes an auxiliary tool 4 as a component. The auxiliary tool 4 is for inserting and removing the nasal plug main body 2 from and into the nostrils. The assisting tool 4 has a rod-shaped bar 5 longer than the through-hole 3 formed in the nasal plug main body 2. A cap portion 6 is formed at the tip of the bar 5. The cap portion 6 extends outward from the tip of the bar 5 and is formed in a flange shape. When the nasal plug main body 2 is inserted into the nostril, the cap portion 6 is inserted into the through hole 3 together with the bar 5, and thus the diameter of the cap portion 6 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 3.

  On the other hand, a disk portion 7 is provided at an intermediate portion of the bar 5. The disk portion 7 has a substantially disk shape extending outward from the bar 5. The set distance D1 from the cap portion 6 to the disk portion 7 is formed longer than the total length D2 of the through hole 3. Further, the diameter of the disk portion 7 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the nasal plug main body 2 is inserted into the nostril 8 using the nasal plug unit 1, first, the distal end side of the auxiliary tool 4 (the side on which the cap portion 6 is arranged) is penetrated. Insert through hole 3 (arrow A). At this time, since the set distance D1 from the cap portion 6 to the disk portion 7 is longer than the total length D2 of the through hole 3, the cap portion 6 passes through the through hole 3 and protrudes from the tip side of the nasal plug main body 2. Therefore, the disk portion 7 contacts the lower surface of the nasal plug main body 2. For this reason, the nasal plug main body 2 is pushed in by the disk portion 7 and pressed into the nostril 8. If the diameter of the disk portion 7 is larger than the lower surface of the nasal plug main body 2, the disk portion 7 abuts on the lower surface of the nose, so that the nasal plug main body 2 is inserted more deeply than necessary into the nostril 8. Is prevented. This effect can be obtained by making the disk portion 7 larger in diameter than the entrance of the nostril 8, but since the size varies depending on the person, it is sufficient to make the diameter larger than the lower surface of the nasal plug main body 2. Available. This is because the nasal plug body 2 is press-fitted into the nostril 8, so that the diameter of the nasal plug main body 2 is reduced after the press-fitting.

  When the nasal plug main body 2 is pressed into the nostrils 8, runny nose and the like are absorbed by the nasal plug main body 2 made of a water-absorbing material, so that the frequency of blowing the nose is reduced. In addition, since the airway for breathing is secured by the through-hole 3, the nasal plug main body 2 can be comfortably kept in the nostril 8 without a sense of incongruity.

  If the set distance D1 from the cap portion 6 to the disk portion 7 is substantially the same as the total length D2 of the through-hole 3, when the auxiliary tool 4 is inserted through the nasal plug main body 2, the cap portion 6 becomes a nasal plug. The projecting distance projecting from the tip of the main body 2 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid pain or the like caused by contact of the cap portion 6 deep inside the nostrils 8.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when removing the nasal plug main body 2 from the nostril 8, the auxiliary tool 4 is inserted into the through-hole 3 while the nasal plug main body 2 is pressed into the nostril 8. After the cap portion 6 has penetrated the nasal plug main body 2, the bar 5 is moved laterally and brought into contact with the wall surface of the through hole 3. When the auxiliary tool 4 is pulled down (arrow B) as it is (while the bar 5 is in contact with the wall surface of the through-hole 3), the lower surface of the cap portion 6 is caught on the distal end surface of the nasal plug main body 2 and the nose together with the auxiliary tool 4 The plug body 2 is pulled out of the nostril 8. Therefore, the nasal plug main body 2 can be easily and quickly taken out of the nostrils 8. Since the pulled-out nasal plug main body 2 is supported by the disk part 7, it does not drop.

  Here, the projecting distance D3 of the portion of the cap portion 6 extending outward from the bar 5 is the spreading distance D4 from the through hole 3 to the outer edge of the nasal plug body 2 at the distal end face in the insertion direction of the nasal plug main body 2. Shorter than. Accordingly, when pulling out the nostril body 2, the cap portion 6 does not protrude outside the nostril body 2, so that the cap portion 6 can be prevented from contacting the inner wall of the nostril 8.

  As shown in FIG. 7, after pulling out the nostril body 2 from the nostril 8, the user can easily drop the nostril body 2 by holding the bar 5 and turning the side of the cap portion 6 downward. (In the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7). If the trash can 9 is arranged on the lower side as it is, the user can discard the nostril body 2 without touching the used nostril body 2. Therefore, handleability is good.
