Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to the structure of a medicated cotton swab, and particularly to an improved structure of a conventional cotton swab.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, when applying a medicinal solution to a wound, one would hold cotton wool with tweezers and apply the medicinal solution to the wound.
It was very time-consuming. Therefore, cotton swabs are now commonly used.

This cotton swab is a single stick with absorbent cotton wrapped around each end, and is very convenient and widely used.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, the uses of conventional absorbent cotton sticks are limited. For example, when there is a small wound on the skin, the wound can be disinfected by applying oxidol to the absorbent cotton stick, and then using Markyurochrome. It is treated by applying a medicinal solution such as liquid or Zentai Ambu Iolect solution. Although this is more convenient than using the conventional tweezers described above, it does not eliminate the inconvenience of having to carry the various chemicals described above at all times.

The present inventor focused on this point, and as a result of repeated research and improvements to eliminate this inconvenience, he devised a new and useful medicated cotton swab.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure of a medicated cotton swab, specifically, the medicinal solution is stored inside the tube body, and the side wall between the medicinal solution chamber and the absorbent cotton is very thin. When in use, when the chemical solution chamber is pressed directly with a finger, the chemical solution pierces the thin side wall and oozes out from the absorbent cotton, thereby achieving the purpose.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure for a medicated cotton swab, which stores a medicinal solution in the swab, has the same effect as a general cotton swab, is convenient to carry, and can be carried around in a bottle containing the medicinal solution. It is extremely practical as there is no need to do so.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure of a kind of medicated cotton swab, in which various medicinal solutions can be stored inside the tube body.
For example, it is possible to store oxidol, iodine tincture, markulochrome, zentiambeolate, and other medicinal solutions as required, and it is also possible to store two types of medicinal solutions at both ends of the tube, further expanding the range of uses.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention involves attaching absorbent cotton to at least one end of a hollow tube body, forming a chemical liquid chamber inside the tube body, and forming a chemical liquid chamber inside the tube body. A thin side wall was provided in the end of the tube body leading to the tube body to form a hermetically sealed structure, and a bulging compression chamber was provided in the middle of the chemical liquid chamber.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the drawing, parts such as absorbent cotton 1 and tube body 2 are combined. Among them, the absorbent cotton 1 is wrapped around both ends of the tube body 2 and fixed. The inside of the tube body 2 is hollow, and a drug chamber 3 is provided at one or both ends so that an appropriate amount of drug solution 6 (in addition to the drug solution, it may be in the form of an ointment) can be stored. The drug solution 6 is usually oxidol, iodine tincture, markyurochrome, olive oil, etc., and is best effective for general trauma treatment. One side of the chemical chamber 3, that is, the tube body 2 close to the absorbent cotton 1
The side wall 5 of is formed very thin. Tube body 2

is formed relatively thick. When using the medicated cotton swab of this example, when the compression chamber 4 is strongly pressed directly with a finger, the medicinal solution 6 easily breaks through the thin side wall, oozes into the absorbent cotton 1, flows out, and can be used immediately.

Thus, in the present invention, two different medicinal solutions can be stored if both ends of the tube body 2 have the same structure. For example, storing oxidol at one end and iodine tincture at the other end is convenient for general minor trauma treatment.

Here, the means for forming the side wall 5 and tube body 2 of the present invention will be described. This belongs to the processing and manufacturing method, and there are many such processing and manufacturing methods.

To give an example, the chemical solution chamber 3 of the present invention is made of general polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (P).
P), the chemical solution 6 is placed in a thin film made of plastic material such as vinyl chloride (PVC), and it is attached to the tube body 2 during manufacture. Naturally, the chemical chamber 3 can be installed within the tube body 2 by using a material that has a melting point lower than that of the thin film on the outer surface of the chemical chamber 3.

Moreover, if the temperature is well controlled, the thin film will not burst and the chemical solution 6 will not flow out, so it can be attached to the inside of the tube body 2. Further, the side wall 5 shown in the drawings can be made into a thin film directly at one end of the chemical liquid chamber 3.

That is, since the absorbent cotton 1 is wrapped around the tube body 2 after it is formed, the side wall 5 may be made of a plastic thin film material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or vinyl chloride (PVC).

The amount of pressure that must be applied to the present invention to cause it to rupture may be arbitrarily determined depending on the implementation.

The chemical solution chamber 3 and side wall 5 of the present invention are preferably made of a thin plastic film material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or vinyl chloride (PVC).

This type of thin film is extremely tough, and currently, a type of glue film with protruding bubbles is generally used to avoid crushing and denting of the product. The characteristic of this glue film is that it is very tough, and if stress is concentrated, the bubbles will burst.
Since the stress is applied to the surface, it does not break easily. For this reason, since glue films with bubbles are widely used for packaging and the like, they are most suitable for the side wall 5 of the present invention.

The material of the chemical solution chamber 3 and the side wall 5 of the present invention is formed from a similar glue film of this type. Therefore, since it is strong and concentrates stress during use, the side wall 5 of the chemical liquid chamber 3 is easily broken, and the chemical liquid 6 is leached onto the absorbent cotton 1 and poured out. Normally, in the case of a portable device, stress is not concentrated, so the chemical solution chamber 3 and side wall 5 are not easily torn.

In addition, there are many ways to prevent spontaneous rupture of the present invention under normal conditions. If it is stored and stored properly, it will not explode easily. In addition, when selecting the material of the present invention, consideration should be given to preventing the device from being accidentally crushed when being carried. It will not break unless stress is concentrated, but considering that it will never break, it is better to cover the outer layer of the absorbent cotton 1 with a single thin film (not shown). When using it, just remove the thin film directly.
In addition, when the side wall 5 of the chemical liquid chamber ruptures, the chemical liquid 6
However, since there is a single thin film on the outer peripheral surface of the absorbent cotton 1, there is no fear that it will immediately flow to other parts. Although the chance of spontaneous rupture is small, there are countless ways to prevent it, so it can be easily prevented.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above, according to the invention, a medicinal solution can be applied to a wound simply by carrying a medicated cotton swab, and treatment can be performed easily.

In addition, since the structure of the present invention is extremely simple,
Not only can it be mass-produced at low cost, it is also portable and convenient to use, and its practical value is extremely high.
