Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a swab.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional cotton swab, there is known a cotton swab provided with cotton at one end or both ends of a rod. The stick portion is gripped by a finger, and the cotton portion is used to clean earwax and nose drop, and the cotton portion is used with a medicine to treat a wound.

[0003]

However, when the above-mentioned conventional swab is used for removing runny nose from infants, disabled persons and sick persons who cannot blow their nose, if the runny nose has stickiness, only the cotton portion is removed. In such a case, a runny nose clogged in the back of the nasal cavity cannot be removed, and inconvenience such as difficulty in breathing is not solved.

[0004] For this reason, a runny nose near the entrance to the nasal cavity is often wiped off. However, in the case of an infant, there has been a problem that this wiping operation causes the underside of the nose to soak.

[0005] As a method for taking a runny nose from such infants, a nasal picker for infants configured as a spoid has been proposed. In this case, the tip of the nasal picker is inserted into the nasal cavity. In such a case, inconvenience such that the inside of the nasal cavity is easily damaged is caused. In addition, in the case of a sticky runny nose, even such a sniffer cannot sufficiently absorb, and even when sucked,
This may cause inconvenience such as troublesome disposal of the sucked runny nose.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cotton swab which can be effectively used for removing sticky snot.

[0007]

A cotton swab according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is provided with a cotton at one end of a rod and a band wound from one end to the other end of the rod. A band is extended from the other end of the rod to a length that can wrap the rod and the cotton.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically show the overall structure of the swab 1, and FIG. 3 shows the swab 1 in use.

That is, the cotton swab 1 is provided with a cotton 3 at one end of a rod 2 and a strip 4 extending at the other end.

As the rod 2, a rod formed of resin, wood, paper or the like is used.

The cotton 3 is adhered to one end of the rod 2 in a bean-grained shape.

The strip 4 is spirally wound from one end of the rod 2 on which the cotton 3 is provided to the other end. As the material of the belt-like body 4, a material having sufficient flexibility and excellent water absorption, such as a material used for paper towels, toilet paper, tissue paper, etc., is cut into a belt shape and used. You. This band 4 is a rod 2
Is wound from one end where the cotton 3 is provided to the other end. The other end is in a state in which an extra length that can wrap the rod 2 and the cotton 3 is extended.

The swab 1 constructed as described above is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the band 2 and the cotton 3 are wrapped around the band 4 extending to the other end (FIG. 3).
(Refer to FIG. 3 (a).) In use, the portion of the strip 4 is opened to expose the portion of the rod 2 and the cotton 3 (see FIG. 3 (b)).

After the cotton 3 portion is inserted into the nostril 5 to attach a runny nose 51 (see FIG. 3C), the cotton 3 portion having the runny nose 51 is taken out from the nostril 5. Then, the rod 2 is rotated (see FIG. 3D). by this,
The runny nose 51 can be taken out while being wound around the surface of the band 4 wound around the rod 2. In addition, when the runny nose 51 comes out of the nostril 5, the cotton 3 is inserted into the nostril 5.
The runny nose 51 can be directly attached to the surface of the band-shaped body 4 wound around the rod body 2 without inserting the portion, and the runny nose 51 can be wound up. As described above, since the band-shaped body 4 is wound around the rod body 2, the rod body 2 has only to be gripped by a finger.
Can be effectively used as a portion around which the runny nose 51 is wound. In particular, in the case of a sticky runny nose 51, such a method of using the swab 1 can be wound up so as to be dragged from the back of the nasal cavity.

Thereafter, the portion of the stick 2 and the cotton 3 to which the runny nose 51 adheres is wrapped by the band 4 extending from the stick 2 so that the runny nose 51 does not adhere to other portions. . In addition, since the runny nose 51 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the band-shaped body 4 wound around the rod 2 so as to be wound, the runny nose 51 may be attached to the finger gripping the rod 2. Before the bar 2 and the cotton 3 are wrapped by the band 4 extending from the body 2, the area around the finger or nose hole 5 can be wiped by the band 4.

As described above, in the case of this swab 1, the runny nose 51
Runny nose 51 that accumulates in the back of the nasal cavity using the stickiness of
Can be completely removed, and even a baby, a disabled person, a sick person, or the like who cannot blow their nose can easily remove the runny nose 51.

In addition to the removal of the runny nose 51, it can also be effectively used when used as a normal swab 1. In particular, since the band 4 is extended from the other end of the bar 2, the finger can be wiped with the band 4, or the bar 2 and the cotton 3 can be wrapped to be used hygienically. .

In the present embodiment, the band 4 is wound around the rod 2. However, if the outer peripheral surface of the rod 2 is formed so that the runny nose 51 can easily adhere thereto, the band is particularly preferable. It is not necessary to wind the rod 4 from one end to the other end of the rod 2, and the band 4 may simply be provided so as to extend from the other end of the rod 2.

Further, in the present embodiment, the band 4 is wound around the bar 2, but the bar 2 is formed by simply winding the band 4 into a bar without using the bar 2. It may be something.

Further, in the present embodiment, a material having sufficient flexibility and water absorbency is used as the band 4, but a portion of the band 4 extending from the other end of the rod 2 is used. Alternatively, a band 4 made of a moisture-proof sheet material may be used, or a composite of the moisture-proof sheet material and the band 4 may be used. In this case, the band 4 with the stick 2 and the cotton 3 to which the runny nose 51 adheres is wrapped around after use.
The runny nose 51 can be prevented from seeping out of the water. In addition, by subjecting the band-shaped body 4 to a sterilization treatment, the rod 2 and the cotton 3 before use can be kept hygienic.

Further, in this embodiment, it is described that the swab 1 is effective for removing sticky runny nose 51, but in particular, the swab 1 is not limited to such removal of runny nose 51. For example, if the entire swab 1 is formed to be large, it can be similarly used for removing sputum entangled in the throat.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, after the cotton portion is inserted into the nostril to attach a runny nose, the cotton portion with the runny nose is removed from the nostril and the rod is removed. To rotate. Thus, while the sticky runny nose is wound around the surface of the belt-shaped body wound around the rod, the entire runny nose accumulated in the back of the nasal cavity can be pulled out and removed. In this manner, since the band is wound around the rod, the portion of the rod that has only been gripped with the finger can be effectively used for removing sticky runny nose. In addition, it is effective for removing sticky snot, so for infants, disabled people and sick people who can not blow their nose by themselves, once a cold or a sticky snot easily comes out, Since the entire runny nose accumulated in the back of the nasal cavity can be easily removed, it is possible to spend comfortably without having to take care of the nurse many times.

It is concerned that the runny nose may be wound around the rod to make the fingers dirty. However, since the strip extends from the other end of the rod. The extended band-shaped portion can be wiped with a finger or wrapped around a cotton portion and a complement portion with a runny nose to perform treatment. In addition, the extended band-shaped portion can be kept in a state of covering the cotton and the rod portion of the swab before use, which is sanitary.
