Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] Industrial field of application The present invention relates to a cotton swab whose shaft body has strength and aesthetic appeal.

Conventional technology Conventionally, such cotton swabs are made of a rod-shaped shaft made of an appropriate material such as wood, plastic, paper, etc., with cotton attached to one end or both ends.
Normally, the shaft is made up of a thin shaft with a diameter of about 2 mm, so it lacks strength.Also, there are cases where the surface of the shaft has an appropriate pattern added to it by printing or other means. Since the grip itself is simply a smooth peripheral surface, it has drawbacks such as being slippery when held and lacks functionality.

Problems to be solved by the invention The invention is a cotton swab that increases the strength of the shaft body of the cotton swab, has an appropriate anti-slip function as a gripping part, and at the same time improves the aesthetic appearance. We aim to provide the following.

[Structure of the idea]

Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above points, the present invention provides a cotton swab in which a cotton body is attached to one end or both ends of a shaft body.
An attempt has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a cotton swab in which an uneven part consisting of several spiral grooves is formed on the surface of the shaft.

Function The present invention improves the bending strength of the shaft body by forming a spiral groove-like uneven portion on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body by pulling it out while twisting during molding. The parts function as anti-slip, and at the same time, the uneven parts appear as a three-dimensional pattern.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 represents a cotton swab body, and a shaft body 2 constituting the gripping portion of the body 1 is made of a suitable material such as paper, plastic, or wood. Several threads are formed on the surface of the shaft 2 by applying a carving blade or the like to the surface of the shaft 2 and drawing it while twisting. It is configured to form an uneven portion consisting of a spiral groove.

Further, a suitable fiber body such as absorbent cotton or chemical fiber is wrapped and adhered to one end or both ends of the shaft body 2 in the form of a water drop through an adhesive to form a cotton body portion 4.

[Effects of the invention] In short, the present invention provides a cotton swab in which a cotton body is attached to one end or both ends of the shaft.
Since the uneven portion 3 consisting of several spiral grooves is formed on the surface of the shaft body 2, the uneven portion 3 consists of several spiral grooves as described above, so that the strength in the bending direction of the shaft body 2 can be increased. This prevents the shaft 2 from breaking during use, and the uneven part 3 acts as a non-slip during use, making it easy to hold and allowing it to be used for earwax cleaning, etc., without being concerned about the direction of rotation. The rotation operation of the cotton swab can be made extremely easy, and the uneven portion 3 can be recognized as an uneven pattern on the surface of the shaft body 2, so the commercial value of the cotton swab, which is a conventional sanitary tool, is significantly improved. Its practical effects are enormous.
