In the second aspect of the present invention, an earpick is protruded from the earpick main body, an earwax-adhering piece is fitted to the tip of the earpick, and a hook for hooking is provided on the earpick main body including the earpick. The portable earpick provided with the head cap of the above item and an end cap fitted to the lower end of the earpick main body.
This makes it very useful because you can put your earpick on your clothes pocket, carry it with the same sensation as a fountain pen, and take it out when you need it.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, an earpick is protruded from an earpick main body, an earwax attached piece is fitted to a tip of the earpick, and a head cap with a hook is attached to the earpick main body including the earpick. A portable earpick provided with a space for accommodating spares of earwax-adhered pieces inside the earpick main body, and an end cap fitted to a lower end of the earwax main body.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a tip protruding portion is formed at a tip portion of the ear swab with a constricted portion interposed therebetween, and a base end portion of an earwax attachment piece mounted on the tip protruding portion is engaged with the constricted portion. By keeping the earwax stick, the earwax-adhered piece is not easily detached from the tip of the ear-scraper, and the exchange operation of the earwax-adhered piece can be performed easily.

[0010] In addition, a spare for earwax-adhered pieces and a cleaning brush are accommodated in the internal space of the earpick main body, and an end cap is fitted to an end portion thereof, so that a spare for earwax-adhered pieces is provided inside the earpick main body. , Or for storing earwax-adhered pieces with a different surface structure, and also for storing earwax-adhered pieces containing silicone oil for dry ear users, or accommodating a cleaning brush for earwax-adhered pieces. And can be used for its use.

Further, it is convenient to remove earwax by forming a plurality of narrow grooves in a ring shape on the outer peripheral surface of the earwax-adhering piece, or by forming slit grooves in the axial direction and using one of them appropriately as a spare. And

Further, by protruding the earwax brush on the end cap, the earwax and the like adhering to the earwax adhering piece can be easily brush-removed.

[0013] In addition, antibacterial treatment of the earwax-adhered pieces prevents bacterial infection, cleans the earpick, and is molded with silicone oil-containing silicone rubber, making it easy to use for people with dry ears. Demonstrate the effects of such.
