Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to an inter-toe cleaning device, that is, an inter-toe cleaning device used for washing the area between the toes, that is, between the toes, which tends to become unclean.

Conventional technology and issues Athlete's foot, which is common among modern people, tends to occur mainly on the feet, especially between the toes, so it is desirable to keep the area between the toes clean to prevent and treat athlete's foot, but the distance between the toes is narrow, Coupled with the inability to move the toes, they are the most difficult part of the body to wash.

However, in the past, there was no special scrubbing tool for washing between the toes, and the current situation is that when washing between the toes, a scrubbing tool such as a sponge or a towel for ordinary body washing is used.

However, these scrubbing tools such as sponges and towels for washing the body are generally too large for washing between the toes, or lack the appropriate back strength, making it difficult to wash between the toes. difficult. It is especially difficult for the scrubbing tool to reach the area deep between the toes, that is, between the fingers. Furthermore, when washing the area between the toes, the user must bend at the waist, raise the foot high, or put pressure on the toes to widen the space between the toes, which puts a considerable physical burden on the user.

Therefore, there has been a desire for an easy-to-use cleaning tool for cleaning between the toes.

This invention was made with the aim of solving such problems and meeting general needs, and is intended to provide a toe-to-toe scrubbing tool suitable for washing between the toes.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, this invention has a flat core plate integrally connected to the tip of the handle, and a flat core plate is attached to at least one side of the core plate and wide sides of both sides connected to the handle. A cleaning member made of a brush, a sponge, etc. is attached, and the cleaning member has a tapered shape in cross section.

Embodiments Hereinafter, this invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a handle made of synthetic resin, and a flat core plate 2 is integrally connected to the tip of the handle. As shown in the cross-sectional view in FIG. 2, this flat core plate 2 has one end slightly bulged in cross section, and the other end formed in the shape of a droplet with less thickness. A first scrubbing member 3 made up of numerous brush bristles 3a is attached in the length direction along the side end portion of the wide surface of the brush. The bristles 3a of the first scrubbing member 3 are implanted and formed so that their bristles have a tapered shape in cross section, and are adapted to effectively scrub the space between the toes in accordance with the shape of the space between the toes. In addition, the sponge 4a is sandwiched and adhered to the other side surface of the flat core plate 2 and the wide surfaces on both sides connected thereto, so that the second cleaning member 4
is attached, and its curved surface part is also formed to have a tapered cross section like the first scrubbing member 3, so that the area between the toes can be effectively scrubbed in accordance with the shape of the space between the toes.

In the figure, Y indicated by a chain line is a toe.

To explain how to use the inter-toe cleaning tool having the above structure, as shown in Fig. 2, the brush bristles 3
Insert this inter-toe cleaning tool between the toes so that it intersects with the toes Y, so that the first cleaning member 3 consisting of a can clean the crotches and sides of the toes Y, Y, and Roughly wash between the toes by sliding back and forth in the direction perpendicular to fingers Y and Y. Next, once this cleaning tool for between the toes is removed from between the toes, the first cleaning member 3 and the second cleaning member 4 are reversed, and after impregnating the sponge 4a with detergent, the cleaning tool for cleaning between the toes is removed. Insert the scrubbing tool between the toes so as to cross toes Y and Y, and slide it back and forth in the direction orthogonal to the toes Y and Y, as well as in the lengthwise direction of the toes Y and Y. Then, the second cleaning member 4 performs the final cleaning between the toes.

In the above embodiment, the first scrubbing member 3 made of brush bristles 3a and the second scrubbing member 4 made of sponge 4a are attached to the flat core plate 2, but only one of them is attached. It may be attached to the flat core plate 2, or the brush bristles 3a or sponge 4a may cover the entire circumferential surface of the flat core plate 2.

Further, the material constituting the scrubbing members 3 and 4 is not limited to the above-mentioned brush bristles and sponge, but may also be, for example, nonwoven fabric, artificial pumice, etc.

The shape of the flat core plate 2 is not particularly limited to that of the embodiment, as long as it can fit between the toes and wash between the toes.

Effects of the invention As described above, this invention is made up of a flat core plate that is integrally connected to the tip of the handle, and a cleaning member is attached to one side and both sides connected to this. The cleaning member has sufficient strength, and the cleaning member can easily enter between the toes to perform cleaning between the toes without forcing the toes to widen. In addition, since the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning member is tapered to accommodate the shape between the toes, it is easy to scrub every corner between the toes, and the area between the toes can be reliably scrubbed to prevent athlete's foot. It is also effective for treatment.

Furthermore, since the flat core plate is integrally connected to the handle, the above-mentioned washing operation can also be performed using this handle, and the action of bending the body or raising the foot high to wash between the toes can be performed. It also has the advantage of being able to minimize the physical burden on the user.
