Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tampon with an insertion tool for guiding and inserting the tampon into the vaginal cavity, closing the vaginal cavity, and absorbing menstrual blood.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of tampon has an outer cylinder in which a tampon is housed, and an inner cylinder slidably inserted into the rear part of the outer cylinder in order to push out the tampon from the opening at the distal end of the outer cylinder. A tampon with an insertion tool consisting of a tampon with an insertion device, which is individually packaged in a slightly larger elongated bag shape, and some of which are housed in an outer case, is commercially available.

Although not commercially available, a large diameter member in which the inner cylinder is slidably inserted into the rear part of the outer cylinder;
It consists of a small diameter member that is slidably inserted into this and connectable by stretching backward, and the tampon is pushed out by the pushing operation of the connected large diameter member and small diameter member, that is, the inner cylinder. There are known tampons with inserts made in Japan (for example, Utility Model Publication No. 59-9621, Special Publication No. 60-27303).
etc). Further, the inner tube is adapted to slidably insert a tampon, and the tampon is left in the outer tube by the rearward stretching of the inner tube, and the tampon is removed by the pushing operation of the inner tube. There are known tampons with an inserter that can be pushed out (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-4258, 57-
4259, Jitko Sho 59-21786, 59-21793, etc.).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the tampons with inserts that are individually packaged in the form of bags, when using the tampons, the bag is casually torn from any part and the inserts containing the tampons are taken out. There is. However, if this is done, the user's hands will come into contact with the surface of the outer cylinder to be inserted into the vaginal cavity, and as a result, bacteria and the like will adhere to the outer surface, making it extremely unhygienic.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tampon with an inserter that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes an outer cylinder that houses a tampon, and an outer cylinder that can be slid onto the outer cylinder in order to push out the tampon from the opening at the tip of the outer cylinder. In a tampon with an inserter, the inner tube is inserted into the tampon and is extended from the rear end of the outer tube to perform the extrusion operation when the tampon is used, the inserter being a slightly larger elongated tube. The tampon is individually packaged in the form of a bag, and the bag is provided with a perforation line for cutting at an arbitrary periphery within the rear portion of the insertion device that is to be held by the user when using the tampon. .

Any of the known techniques described above may be used as the insertion tool. Further, as the material of the bag, a synthetic resin sheet, nonwoven fabric, paper, etc., which can preferably be bonded under heat and pressure (melting), is used.

(Function) When the user uses his or her fingertips to grasp the rear part of the insertion tool from above the corresponding part of the bag and pulls it backward, from the perforation line to the rear end. At the same time that the bag portion of the tampon is cut, the inner tube becomes ready to push out the tampon inserted into the outer tube. Then, the rear part of the insertion tool exposed by removing the cut and rear part is grasped with the fingertips, and the remaining front part of the bag, that is, the part covering most of the outer tube, is removed. do. In this way, the bag can be completely removed without touching the surface of the outer tube to be inserted into the vaginal cavity, and the outer tube can be inserted into the vaginal cavity.

Note that the operation of exposing the rear region to be held by the insertion tool may be performed after the operation of removing the part of the bag corresponding to the rear region.
Needless to say.

(Example) Further, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated example as follows.

A tampon (not shown) is inserted into the outer tube 2 of the insertion tool 1. This insertion tool 1 is
-9621, which was disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-27303, etc.
An inner cylinder 4 is slidably inserted into a rear part 3 of the outer cylinder 2. That is, the inner cylinder 4 has a large diameter member 5 inserted into the outer cylinder 2 so as to be slidable but not to be removed from the rear.
and a small-diameter member 6 that is slidable thereon and connectable to it by stretching backward. The state shown in the first figure shows the small diameter member 6 before being taken out.

The insertion device 1 is individually packaged in an elongated bag shape slightly larger than this. The bag 7 is made of paper,
A perforation line 8 is provided around the rear end of the insertion tool 1, which corresponds to the rear portion L of the insertion tool 1 which the user should grasp when using the tampon.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the rear end portion of the small diameter member 6 is grasped from above the portion 7a of the bag 7 and pulled to the right as shown in FIG. At the same time that 7a is cut from the perforation line 8, the small diameter member 6 is stretched rearwardly from the large diameter member 5. In this case, as described above, the large-diameter member 5 and the small-diameter member 6 are connected to each other so that the tampon housed in the outer cylinder 2 can be pushed out.

In addition, as the insertion tool 1, in addition to the above-mentioned one,
Previously mentioned special public service 1986-4258, 57-4259, actual public service 1987-
21786, 59-21793, etc. may also be used.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, as described above, the user can perform both the removal of the bag from the insertion tool and the stretching operation of the inner cylinder by touching the surface of the outer cylinder to be inserted into the vaginal cavity. This can be done without touching it at all. Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved without bacteria etc. adhering to the surface of the outer tube, which would become unhygienic. It is extremely useful for practical use as an individual package for tampons with an inserter that performs extrusion operations.
