[Industrial applications]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a package containing a device capable of sanitarily applying a fluid such as liquid or powder.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when applying / applying a lotion such as a liquid drug or cosmetics to a limited range, it is common to use the product dispensed into a container such as a vial, dip it in an applicator such as a cotton swab, etc. Is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with such a method, each time it is used, the lid of the container containing the drug is opened, the applicator is dipped in a dispenser such as a vial, and the lid of the container is closed after use. Furthermore, immersing the applicator, which may come into contact with hands or fingers before use, with the drug etc. in the container means that the drug etc. may always be contaminated. It was In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-58230 proposes a cotton swab fiber aggregate impregnated with a liquid and wrapped with a packaging material. The user is relieved of the hassle of opening and closing and swiping the cotton swab while being careful not to touch the hands or fingers, and also to avoid the danger of using contaminated chemicals. I have released it. However, if the fiber assembly is impregnated with liquid in advance, there is a risk that it will be crushed and the liquid will leak to the inner surface of the packaging material or the shaft of the cotton swab, significantly reducing the commercial value, and preventing this. If the amount of impregnated liquid is reduced, the problem is that a sufficient amount of liquid cannot be supplied to the coated surface. Therefore, the present invention does not require complicated operations and is hygienic, and the inside of the packaging material is not contaminated by the chemicals, and a sufficient amount of liquid can be supplied to the application surface during use. The purpose is to provide.

【Example】

 The applicator packaging according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. (Example 1) In a swab package 1 shown in FIG. 1, a swab 2 and a coating material 3 are stored in a swab storage chamber 5 and a coating material storage chamber 6 of a package body 4. The cotton swab 2 has fiber aggregates 22 made of cotton fibers installed at both ends of a shaft 21. The coating material 3 is a fluid such as powder or granules, liquid, etc. that can be coated by the coating part of the coating device, and is in powder form such as alcohol for disinfection, hydrogen peroxide solution, sulfur powder, talc, etc. depending on the application. A drug, lotion, emulsion drug, etc. can be used as the coating material. The coating material 3 may be water-based, oil-based, water-soluble, or oil-soluble.

The sheet material constituting the package body 4 is configured so that the swab 2 and the applied material 3 can be stored in a hygienic manner. When the coating material 3 is sublimable and volatile, or when the coating material is liable to be deteriorated by the outside air, it is desirable to have a gas barrier property. For example, resin sheets made of various resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl terephthalate, polystyrene, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyamide and polymethylpentene, or aluminum, etc. Examples thereof include a relatively soft metal foil, or a laminate composed of any of these. The thickness of the sheet material is set so as to obtain a desired strength or gas barrier property, and is usually about 10 to 100 μm, preferably 10 to 20 μm. When gas barrier property is required, it is preferable that the oxygen permeability coefficient is 100 mol · m / m ² · s · Pa or less. This surely prevents the coating material 3 from evaporating into the atmosphere during storage, and prevents oxygen and the like in the atmosphere from passing through the package body 4 to deteriorate (eg, oxidize) and deteriorate the coating material 3. It In addition, it is preferable to use a laminate of the resin sheet and the metal foil as a constituent material of the package body 4 as a material that can obtain the gas impermeability with a relatively thin thickness. As such a material, for example, one in which an aluminum thin film is interposed between two polyethylene resin sheets is particularly preferable.

The seal portion 41 and the isolation portion 43 of the package body 4 form a swab storage chamber 5 and a coating material storage chamber 6 together with the sheet material. These are, for example, facing sheets around the swab 2 and around the coated article 3 in a state in which the coated article 3 and the swab 2 are folded in two and sandwiched between the sheets. The materials may be fused (thermal fusion, high frequency fusion, etc.) or bonded together. Specifically, for example, a heat seal having a width of, for example, 5 mm is applied to a parallel portion at a distance (for example, 20 mm) from the folded back of the sheet material and a portion orthogonal to the back portion, and then, Insert the nozzle from the upper unsealed opening with the seal part orthogonal to the back part facing down, inject a prescribed amount (eg, 0.5 ml) of the coating material such as a chemical solution, and after removing the nozzle, separate part 43 Are formed by heat sealing. Next, the cotton swab 2 is inserted from the unsealed opening, and the unsealed opening is sealed by heat sealing. Finally, a notch 42 such as a V notch is provided at an arbitrary position of the seal portion 41 to obtain the swab storage body of the present invention. Although the case of performing the three-way sealing has been described above, a four-way sealing (not shown) produced by stacking two sheets may be adopted instead of the package body. In the swab package 1 obtained in this manner, it is preferable to manufacture the swab package 1 so as to prevent anything other than the coating 3, such as air, from entering the coating storage chamber 6 as much as possible. Further, the swab storage chamber 5 may be filled with air, but may be in a decompressed or vacuum state, and is filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas instead of air. Is also good.

Second Embodiment As another embodiment of the present invention, there is a swab package 11 shown in FIG. The swab package 11 differs from the swab package 1 described above with reference to FIG. 1 in that the shape of the partition wall portion 431 is different. That is, in this embodiment, the partition wall 431 has a V-shaped end portion on the side of the swab storage chamber 5. With such a configuration, the traveling direction of the swab 2 is regulated, and the partition wall 431 can be more reliably broken. Although not shown, the side of the fiber assembly 22 of the swab 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 that is far from the partition wall portions 43, 431 is used for holding the swab 2 instead of the fiber assembly 22. It may be formed with a grip having a suitable structure, or an earpick or a hook.

The application of the cotton swab package of the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be used for cleaning or disinfecting a predetermined part of the living body such as ear cavity, nasal cavity, oral cavity, anus, or medical treatment such as disinfecting an affected area or applying a chemical solution. In addition to being used as hygienic treatment and cosmetics, it also cleans various devices such as magnetic heads, image sensors, lens cleaners such as audio equipment, visual equipment, office automation equipment, optical equipment, etc. and their parts, as well as solvents and rust preventives. It can be applied to the application of fluids such as liquids or powders for various purposes such as application of agents, lubricants and paints.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, the swab package according to the present invention can use the swab extremely hygienically. In addition, since the applied material is divided into small parts, the entire amount is used immediately after opening, and it is stored in a container such as a bottle and the cotton swab is soaked each time it is used. It is possible to eliminate the risk of deterioration of the chemical liquid or the like. Furthermore, when the applied product is used infrequently, it is more economical than when it is used in a container such as a bottle.
