Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an inhaler. An object of the present invention is to provide an inhaler that can freely change the jetting angle of steam according to the user's sitting height.

BACKGROUND ART Several types of inhalers are known in which a medicinal liquid is ejected along with ejected steam for the purpose of maintaining health or treating the throat. However, in these known devices, the ejection angle of the ejection tube that guides the ejection of the chemical liquid mixed vapor was initially fixed, so the user had to align his or her throat with the position corresponding to the ejection direction. The drawback was that people with high or low sitting heights would have an unnatural posture when using it.

To solve these drawbacks, devices that can adjust the inclination angle of the steam suction pipe have been developed as shown in Registered Utility Model No. 41464, Registered Utility Model No. 44971, etc., but the inclination angle of the steam suction pipe can be adjusted. Since the steam suction pipe was placed in a bare state, there was a drawback that the ejected steam could come into contact with the operator's hands when adjusting the inclination angle of the steam suction pipe, which was dangerous.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks, and has achieved its purpose by completing the invention described below.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The inhaler of the present invention is constituted by a combination of a steam generator main body 1 and a lid 3 containing a jet tube 2 for ejecting a chemical liquid mixed vapor. The steam generator main body 1 is a known one in which a steam generator 12 and a chemical liquid container 13 are attached to a housing 11, and a nozzle mechanism having a steam jet nozzle 14 and a chemical liquid suction nozzle 15 is communicated with these. The lid 3 is removably fitted into the upper opening of the steam generator main body 1, and the opening 3 provided on the front side
A chemical liquid mixed steam ejecting tube 2 is pivotally attached to 1 so as to be freely movable. The ejection cylinder 2 for the chemical liquid mixed vapor is a cylindrical body whose warp is slightly reduced toward the tip, and radial locking grooves 21...21 formed on the side surface near the base end are formed on the inner wall of the opening 31 of the lid 3. He is trying to engage with the formed locking protrusion 32.

The protruding height of the locking protrusion 32 is set to a height that does not interfere with the pivoting movement of the jet cylinder 2, for example, 0.5 m/m or less.
It is desirable to set it to about 1m/m.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure and allows the angle of the inclination and undulation of the ejection tube 2 to be changed, so that the user can select in advance an appropriate angle that allows steam to be naturally injected into the throat according to the user's sitting height. This has the great feature that even if the device is used for a long period of time, fatigue caused by an unnatural position of use will not occur. Mata lid 3
Since it is equipped with a steam generator, it is particularly safe because it can cover the steam jet nozzle 14, and it is also hygienic because it can prevent dirt, dust, etc. from entering the steam generator main body 1 as much as possible. I can do it.
In addition, since the lid 3 can be removably fitted onto the top surface of the steam generator main body 1, and the spout cylinder 2 is pivotally attached to the lid 3, it is possible to clean the lid 3 and the spout cylinder 2, which tend to be contaminated with chemicals, for example. In this case, when the lid 3 is removed from the steam generator main body 1, the ejection tube 2 can also be removed accordingly, making the operation simple and easy to assemble.
Furthermore, since the spout pipe 2 is pivotally attached to the lid 3, the spout pipe 2
It is possible to have the feature that there is no need for a dedicated mechanism for pivotally mounting the structure, which simplifies the structure and reduces costs.
