Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container for storing and applying a liquid agent for treating athlete's foot, which often occurs between fingers and toes. [Prior art] Conventionally, there have been containers that have a rotatable sphere attached to the mouth of the container and apply liquid medicine to the body through the sphere (roll-type containers), but there are some containers that contain a liquid agent for treating athlete's foot. Regarding the container, the spout of the container was a nozzle, and the tip of the nozzle was applied to the affected area while pushing out the solution. [Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the container containing the above-mentioned solution for treating athlete's foot is very similar in overall form, including the shape of the nozzle, to the container containing the solution for eye drops. For this reason, accidents have occurred in the past in which people mistakenly mistakenly administer a solution for treating athlete's foot as an eye drop solution. Countermeasures have been taken to prevent this accident, such as displaying labels that say ``Do not use in the eyes,'' but these measures are still not sufficient.
It has been difficult to completely eliminate the occurrence of the above-mentioned accidents. In addition, the viscosity of the liquid used to treat athlete's foot varies depending on the temperature, so it is not always easy to squeeze out the appropriate amount to the affected area, and sometimes too much liquid comes out and stains other areas. There was a problem. In particular, when a herbal medicine tincture is included, the liquid preparation is colored, which causes the inconvenience of staining clothes and the like. Furthermore, roll-type containers generally have large diameter spheres to which the chemical solution is applied, making them unsuitable for applying to narrow areas such as the areas affected by athlete's foot between the fingers and toes. The present invention was developed based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is easy to distinguish it from eye drops, prevents accidental use, and allows for the application of an appropriate amount of liquid only to the affected area. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a liquid agent application container. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention to achieve the above object contains a liquid agent for treating athlete's foot in a container body, and a spout of the container has a diameter within the range of 3 mm to 8 mm. A rotatable sphere is partially exposed above the spout and is fitted and locked. [Function] The liquid application container for athlete's foot treatment of the present invention applies an appropriate amount of the liquid that adheres to the surface of the sphere to the affected area by rolling it while applying the sphere at the spout to the affected area, for example between the fingers and toes. It is applied to [Example] Hereinafter, an example of a liquid application container for treating athlete's foot according to the present invention will be described. The drawing shows a typical implementation structure of the present invention, in which the lower part of a cylindrical stopper 3 is attached to the neck opening 2 of a container body 1 containing a liquid agent S for treating athlete's foot. A sphere 4 is rotatably fitted onto the upper part of the body 3. The diameter of the sphere 4 is set within a range of 3 mm to 8 mm, and a portion of the sphere 4 is exposed above the upper end of the stopper 3. Reference numeral 5 indicates a cap that is screwed into the mouth portion 2, and a convex portion 6 on the inner surface of the top of the cap 5 presses the sphere 4 when the cap 5 is screwed into the cap 5, and presses against the intermediate inner circumferential surface of the stopper 3. The sphere 4 is brought into pressure contact with the formed protruding receiving portion 7. The container body 1, the stopper 3 including the receiving part 7, the sphere 4, and the cap 5 are usually molded from synthetic resin, and in the case of the embodiment, the stopper 3 including the container main body 1 and the receiving part 7
uses polyethylene, and the sphere 4 and cap 5
used polypropylene. In particular, the spheres 4 are preferably made of polypropylene, which is resistant to the solvent contained in the liquid, has appropriate hardness, and is not expensive. In addition, the liquid agent S for athlete's foot treatment stored in the container body 1
may be anything that has a viscosity such as a homogeneous and clear suspension or a suspension that can be filled into a container and used, but generally a relatively low viscosity aqueous solution, oil solution or organic solvent solution is preferred; Generally, it consists of the following composition. Antifungal agent 0.1-10.0% by weight Bactericide 0.0-5.0 Anti-inflammatory agent 0.0-5.0 Antipruritic agent 0.0-10.0 Local anesthetic 0.0-10.0 Keratolytic agent 0.0-10.0 Herbal tincture or its extract 0.0-40.0 Solvent 10.0 to 99.9 The coating container configured as described above has a rotatable sphere 4 in the spout portion consisting of the mouth portion 2 and the plug body 3, and the diameter of the sphere 4 is within the range of 3 mm to 8 mm. Since the size is set, for example, by smoothly inserting the tip of the container with the sphere between the fingers and toes, applying the sphere 4 to the affected area of athlete's foot, and rolling it over the range of the affected area, the sphere can be removed. 4 can be applied with a liquid agent for treating athlete's foot. The reason why the diameter of the sphere 4 is limited to a range of 3 mm to 8 mm is that it is of a size that can be easily inserted between the fingers and toes and applied, and the above-mentioned diameter also allows the amount of liquid to be applied to the area affected by athlete's foot. This is because it has become clear from the test results in the table below that it is suitable for coating. This test was repeated 6 times for both spheres with a diameter of 8 mm and spheres with a diameter of 5.5 mm. At this time, rough paper, which has properties similar to human skin, is used as the application target.
The applied area was 7.5 cm ² and this was assumed to be the area affected by athlete's foot. Also, the amount of liquid applied to the affected area of athlete's foot, which is assumed to be 7.5 cm ² , is within the allowable range for use.
Experience has shown that the dose is 25mg to 60mg.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the liquid application container for athlete's foot treatment according to the present invention uses a roll type for the liquid application part instead of the conventional nozzle type, making it easy to distinguish it from eye drops, which were easily mistakenly used in the past. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the accident of instilling a solution for treating athlete's foot into the eye. Furthermore, the size of the sphere in roll form is 3 mm.
Since the diameter is limited to ~8mm, it is possible to conveniently fit into the narrow spaces between fingers and toes, which are the areas where athlete's foot is most likely to occur, and apply the solution accurately while rolling. Moreover, the amount of liquid applied at this time is also appropriate. Therefore, the liquid preparation can be applied without spreading more than necessary and staining fingers and toes other than the affected area, providing a good feeling of use.
In addition, there is also the convenience of being able to lightly scratch the affected area that is accompanied by itching.
