[0006]

[Action]

 According to the first feature, in the state where the stick is inserted in the sheath, the grasping part to the upper part of the sheath is held by fingers, and the stool is collected in the collecting part while inserting the tip into the stool. Then, when the collection is finished, the stick is pulled out from the sheath. During this withdrawal, excess stool attached to the stick is handled by the sheath. The pods may be discarded as they are in the toilet. Since it is water-soluble, there is no problem. A certain amount of stool remains in the collection area of the stick, so put this stick in a container for testing. A certain amount of stool can be accurately attached to a fixed length portion of the stick tip protruding from the sheath, that is, a sampling portion to be used as a sample. The quantification procedure is extremely simple because it is only necessary to remove the stick from the sheath. On the other hand, during the stool collection operation, the entire stick is reinforced by the presence of the sheath, and the stool can be collected reliably without the stick being easily bent or bent. The sheath serves as a grip for the finger together with the grip of the stick, which reinforces the grip that is easily bent and bent, and the grip is widened to facilitate manual operation. Since the pod is water-soluble, it can be discarded as it is in a toilet, etc., and it is very easy to dispose of it. Since it has a very simple structure consisting only of a stick and a sheath, it can be manufactured at low cost. Further, according to the second feature, in addition to the first feature, the point of the insertion depth at the time of stool collection work can be manualized by the mark, and the work operation becomes easy. Further, according to the third feature, in addition to the first and second features, at least the collecting portion of the stick is made of a water-soluble material, so that the stick is treated with an aqueous solution prior to an inspection performed after the collecting. When there is a working step of immersing feces in the aqueous solution to dissolve the stool, the collection part is also dissolved, so that the stool can be dissolved quickly and surely.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the feces collecting tool of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state when the feces are collected by the toilet collecting device, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the stick is extracted from the sheath after the feces collecting. Is. The toilet bowl comprises a combination of a stick 10 and a sheath 20. The stick 10 is composed of a flat rod-shaped body having a fixed length, and has a wide area grip portion 11 on the base end side. On the tip side, the portion projecting from the sheath 20 has a constant length to form the sampling portion 12. The entire stick 10 or a portion corresponding to the collecting portion 12 can be made of a water-soluble material. The sheath 20 has a constant length, and the diameter of the inner hole 21 thereof is a diameter that allows the stick 10 to be inserted without excess or deficiency. That is, it is desirable that the cross-sectional shape of the inner hole 21 has a similar diameter that is slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the stick 10. As will be described later again, this makes it possible to collect stool in a state where the stool is thinly and uniformly attached to the front and back surfaces of the stick 10. The sheath 20 is made of a water-soluble material. Further, a mark 22 is provided at a fixed position on the distal end side of the sheath 20, and this serves as a mark showing the point of the insertion depth when collecting stool.

By inserting the stick 10 into the sheath 20 until the grip portion 11 comes into contact, a fixed length portion on the distal end side projects from the distal end side of the sheath 20 as the sampling portion 12. Collection work is performed in this state. As the water-soluble material, water-soluble fibers such as carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose, and water-soluble resins such as polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone can be used.

In the collecting work, with the stick 10 inserted in the sheath 20, from the grip portion 11 to the upper part of the sheath 20, as shown in FIG. Insert into the stool up to the position of 22 and collect so that the stool is attached to the surface. Then, when the collection is completed, the stick 10 is pulled out from the sheath 20 (Fig. 3). During this withdrawal, excess stool attached to the surface of the stick 10 is handled as it passes through the sheath 20. Discard the sheath 20 as it is in the toilet. The stick 10 is put in a container (not shown) or the like and provided to the inspection place. A certain amount of stool is accurately attached to the tip collecting portion 12 of the stick 10 that has been pulled out.

The cross section of the stick 10 is not particularly limited, and may be a stick having various cross sections such as a circle, an ellipse, a square, a rectangle, and a plate. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the inner hole 21 of the sheath 20 also corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the stick 10. The stick 10 may have a hollow inside, and in this case, the tip of the sampling portion 12 is also clogged. In addition, the collecting portion 12 of the stick 10 may be provided with a spiral or a filed groove on its surface, which facilitates collection.
