Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an eye drop container.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Conventionally, an eye drop container is basically configured such that a liquid injection nozzle is projected straight on the top of the container body that is held by the thumb and other fingers. In addition, for instillation, it is necessary to position the tip of the liquid injection nozzle above the eye to be instilled, but the hand holding the eye drop container is in an unstable state apart from the head or face.

Therefore, for the first time, a child who is not accustomed to eyedropping, a person who is anxious about eyedropping, or an elderly person who shakes his / her hands for the first time sees the tip of the liquid injection nozzle exactly above the eye. However, there was a problem in that eye drops often failed because they could not be placed in the area. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an eye drop container capable of solving the above problems by applying a hand holding the eye drop container to a forehead or the like to maintain a stable state when instilling.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a structure in which a liquid injection nozzle is provided so as to project to the front surface side at a tip portion of a container main body that holds a thumb on the front surface and other fingers on the back surface for gripping. It was done.

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as an embodiment. FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of an eye drop container A according to the present invention, which comprises a container body 1, a liquid injection nozzle 6 and a cap 7. The container body 1 has a rectangular shape, and a front surface 2 thereof is provided with a thumb, and a back surface 3 thereof is provided with recesses or protrusions or marks 4 and 5 for positioning an index finger other than the thumb, for example. The recesses or protrusions or the marks 4 and 5 are not limited to the front surface 2 and the back surface 3, and may be continuous around the container body 1. Further, a liquid injection nozzle 6 projecting at a right angle to the surface 2 is provided at the lower end of the container body 1.

To use the eye drop container A having the above-mentioned configuration to apply the eye drop, the cap 7 is removed so that the liquid injection nozzle 6 is located downward, and the thumb and the finger are inserted into the recesses 4 and 5, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, with the finger on the front, with the face facing the front, position the tip of the liquid injection nozzle 6 in front of the eye to be instilled, and put the nail of the thumb on the eyebrow. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the head is tilted backward as it is, and the container body 1 is pressed with the thumb and the index finger to perform the instillation.

As described above, according to the eye drop container of the present invention, the hand holding the container body 1 can be supported by applying it to the eyebrows, the forehead, etc. The liquid nozzle 6 can be stably fixed above the eye, and accurate eye drops can be applied.

Further, the eyedropping method is not limited to the above-mentioned method, and the point is to put the thumb on the forehead or the like to apply the eyedrop. Note that the average distance between the center of the eyebrows and the center of the eye is about 2 cm for adults and about 1.5 cm for children. If the distance X to the center of the liquid nozzle 6 is 2 cm or 1.5 cm, the position where the thumb is applied can always be specified as the eyebrows, and anyone can easily apply the eyedrop. Further, the shape of the eye drop container A is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1, but may be any shape such as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, or a cylindrical shape.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, the eye drop container of the present invention has a liquid injection nozzle projecting to the front side at the tip of the container body that holds the thumb on the front surface and other fingers on the back surface. Since the structure is provided, the position of the liquid injection nozzle can be fixed by bringing the thumb into contact with the face, the forehead, etc., so that any person can accurately apply the eye drops.
