Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composite earpick for enabling anybody to perform safe, easy and sure cleaning/hygienic control of an outer ear part. SOLUTION: A composite earpick includes two constituting elements, i.e., an earpick main body part and an outer side slide tube part. For the earpick main body part, a plurality of earpicking plates 1 have tip parts bent against the inner side, are arrayed on a concentric circular circumference around a picking bar 3, and the other ends are fixed to one end of the picking bar 3. For the slide tube part, the outside of the tube 13 moved with the earpick main body part placed inside the tube, and by performing a finger tip operation to cause each earpicking plate 1 to fall, the angle of the earpicking plate and an entire outer diameter are controlled.

る。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (A) The present invention has two components, an earpick main body portion (FIG. 2) and an outer slide tube portion (FIG. 3). (B) The earpick main body part is composed of a plurality of earpick plates (1) and one knob (3). (C) The earplate (1) is made of a material such as rubber, plastic, metal, or the like, which is flexible and elastic and deformable, and is an elongated thin plate having a constant width. One of the tips (2)
It has a shape that curves inward with its back, and the other end is fixed to one end of the knob (3). The earpick main body is formed by arranging a plurality of the earpick plates (1) on a concentric circle centered on the thumb bar (3). (D) The slide tube (4) is a hollow cylindrical tube,
The earpick body is placed inside the tube and moved outside to control the angle of the earpick (1). A small ring (5) is provided at one end of the slide tube, and is connected and fixed to the slide tube with a support rod (6). The earbrush plate (1) passes through the space (7) between the slide tube and the small ring from the tip (2) to the fixed end on the knob (3), from the outside to the inside of the plate body. It is a shape structure. (E) The present invention has the above-described structure. When using the present invention, first, before inserting it into the ear hole, push the slide tube (4) with the fingertip in the opposite direction to the knob bar (3) to remove the earpick plate. Fold it down and reduce the overall outside diameter before inserting it into the ear canal. After inserting the slide tube (4) in the direction of the thumb bar (3) after inserting it into the ear hole to an appropriate depth, the ear ring (1) is raised by the small ring (5) and spreads. Check the contact, and adjust the size of the outer diameter of the entire earpuff. Thereafter, the entire instrument is used by moving it back and forth along the ear canal. Earwax and other garbage are pulled out by pulling the thumb stick (3). Furthermore, the whole device can be used in a form of being rotated about the knob (3).
