TampongapplikatorTampon applicator
Denne oppfinnelse vedrorer tampongapplikator fortrinnsvis: av vanndispergerende materiale, f.eks. papp, for å-sette inn menstruasjonstamponger. This invention relates to a tampon applicator preferably: of water-dispersing material, e.g. cardboard, for inserting menstrual tampons.
Tampongapplikatorer er velkjente hvor en ytre ..rørformet seksjon dg en indre rørformet seksjon skyves inn i hverandre: med' glidepasning. Tampongen sitter i den ytre rørformede seksjon og den indre rørformede seksjon tjener til å skyve tampongen ut. Tampon applicators are well known where an outer tubular section and an inner tubular section are pushed into each other: with a sliding fit. The tampon sits in the outer tubular section and the inner tubular section serves to push the tampon out.
I tidligere modeller har glidepasningsforholdet mellomIn previous models, the sliding fit ratio has between
de to seksjoner blitt opprettholdt . ved nålestikkdeformeringer. i den ytre seksjon, hvilket ikke er tilstrekkelig sterkt til å opprettholde det riktige forhold mellom de to partier, eller ved å danne opphøyninger i omkretsen, hvilket er vanskelig å lage og •• skaper begrensninger med hensyn til avhendingen, da de perife-riske opphøyninger' i den indre sammenskjøvne stilling søker å skape en tetning- mot væskegjennomtrengning til applikatorens innerflate. the two sections have been maintained. in case of pinprick deformations. in the outer section, which is not sufficiently strong to maintain the correct relationship between the two parts, or by forming elevations in the circumference, which is difficult to make and •• creates limitations with regard to disposal, as the peripheral elevations ' in the inner folded position seeks to create a seal against liquid penetration to the inner surface of the applicator.
Nærværende oppfinnelse vedrører en tampongapplikator, fortrinnsvis av et vanndispergerende materiale, som omfatter en ytre rørformet seksjon og en indre rørformet seksjon som'skyves sammen med glidepasning i den ytre seksjon-, idet den ytre seksjon har innover og utover rettede lengderibber som avgrenser finger-grepseks.joner mellom tilstøtende ribber og danner indre' langsgående kanaler "i forhold til den indre seksjon for å tillate langsgående væskegjennomtrengning under avhendingen.. The present invention relates to a tampon applicator, preferably of a water-dispersing material, which comprises an outer tubular section and an inner tubular section which is pushed together with a sliding fit in the outer section, the outer section having inwards and outwards directed longitudinal ribs which define the finger grip .ions between adjacent ribs and form internal 'longitudinal channels' relative to the inner section to allow longitudinal fluid permeation during disposal..
Med dette arrangement kan"de to seksjoner skyves tett inn i hverandre, dys. med en ettergivende kontaktpasning over et viktig område av de to deler som hindrer luftlommer mellom de . sammenskjøvne seksjoner og tillater væske å strømme mellom de to deler-under avhendingen. Således kan væske under avhendingen i et-vannklosett, hvor applikatoren vil være i sin sammenskjøvne lukkede stilling, nå alle deler av applikatoren hurtig og hjelpe til med avhendingen. With this arrangement, the two sections can be pushed closely together, with a yielding contact fit over an important area of the two parts which prevents air pockets between the pushed together sections and allows liquid to flow between the two parts during disposal. Thus liquid during disposal in a water closet, where the applicator will be in its folded closed position, can reach all parts of the applicator quickly and assist in disposal.
■ De'langsgående ribber er også fordelaktige ved at.de danner hensiktsmessige fingergrepområder. og bibringer gjenstanden ytterligere styrke. ■ The longitudinal ribs are also advantageous in that they form appropriate finger grip areas. and gives the object additional strength.
Fortrinnsvis har nevnte ytre seksjon bare ribber ved en endesone og den indre rørformede seksjon er klokkeformet ved sin innerende langs en sone som ligger innenfor ribbene, slik at det sikres et. godt inngrep mellom de to rørformede seksjoner. Preferably, said outer section only has ribs at an end zone and the inner tubular section is bell-shaped at its inner end along a zone that lies within the ribs, so that a good engagement between the two tubular sections.
Det mest hensiktsmessige materiale for gjenstanden er som allerede nevnt papp eller kartong, men i vann dispergerbare plastmaterialer,- såsom polyviny1alkohol, polyetylenoksyd kan også brukes. Andre plastmaterialer kan brukes hvis det ikke: er spesielt As already mentioned, the most suitable material for the object is cardboard or cardboard, but water-dispersible plastic materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide can also be used. Other plastic materials can be used if not: is special
påkrevet at komponentene'skal dispergeres.required that the components be dispersed.
Seksjonen med langsgående ribber er lett å fremstille, f. eks. ved krusning eller falsing når kartong benyttes, eller ved forming, eller støping hvis plastmateriale benyttes. The section with longitudinal ribs is easy to produce, e.g. by crimping or folding when cardboard is used, or by forming or molding if plastic material is used.
Oppfinnelsen skal forklares nærmere nedenfor ved hjelp av The invention will be explained in more detail below by means of
eksempler og under henvisning tiltegningen, hvor:examples and with reference to the award, where:
Fig. 1 er et perspektivriss av en ytterhylse med tre langsgående ribber, fig. 2 er et perspektivriss' av ehytterhylse med fire langsgående ribber, og fig. 3 viser en. ytterhylse med fire langsgående ribber og en' ytterligere def ormering.. Fig. 4. viser et lengdesnitt gjennom en fullstendig sammensatt applikator med en tampong., fig. 5 viser i større.^målestokk et snitt langs linjen V-V•på fig. 4, fig. 6.viser et lengdesnitt gjennom et par-ti av en annen applikator i sammensatt tilstand, og fig. 7 viser et snitt langs linjen VII-VII på fig. 6. Fig. 1, 2 og 3 er perspektivriss av en ytterhylse som danner en applikator sammen med en innerhylse som passer teleskd-pisk inn i den første. Fig. 4 viser en ytterhylse- 1 som sitter tett på en innerhylse 2, og hvor hylsene er i teleskopisk uttrukket stilling. En tampong 3 og en trekktråd 4 er plassert i indi-katoren. Ytterhylsen har lengderibber 5 (tre ifølge fig. 1, fire ifølge fig. 2 og divergerende ved endene ifølge flg.- 3). Fig. 5 viser at disse lengderibber danner sammen med veggen av innerhylsen 2 et langsgående mellomrom 6. Hvert av disse mellomrom tillater at fluidum kan renne mellom teleskopkomponentene inn ide indre partier av applikatoren når denne avhendes i et vannklosett eller kjemisk klosett, slik at alt kartongmateriale lett og raskt vil bli fuktig for å påskynne oppbrytningen. Fraværet av luft innenfor delene reduserer.flyteevnen dg bidrar til bedre nedspy-ling i et vannklosett.. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an outer sleeve with three longitudinal ribs, fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cabin sleeve with four longitudinal ribs, and fig. 3 shows one. outer sleeve with four longitudinal ribs and a further deformation. Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section through a fully assembled applicator with a tampon, fig. 5 shows on a larger scale a section along the line V-V in fig. 4, fig. 6 shows a longitudinal section through a pair of another applicator in assembled condition, and fig. 7 shows a section along the line VII-VII in fig. 6. Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are perspective views of an outer sleeve which forms an applicator together with an inner sleeve which fits the teleskd whip into the first. Fig. 4 shows an outer sleeve 1 which sits tightly on an inner sleeve 2, and where the sleeves are in a telescopically extended position. A tampon 3 and a pulling thread 4 are placed in the indicator. The outer sleeve has longitudinal ribs 5 (three according to fig. 1, four according to fig. 2 and diverging at the ends according to fig.-3). Fig. 5 shows that these longitudinal ribs together with the wall of the inner sleeve 2 form a longitudinal space 6. Each of these spaces allows fluid to flow between the telescope components into internal parts of the applicator when it is disposed of in a water closet or chemical closet, so that all cardboard material will easily and quickly become moist to speed up decomposition. The absence of air within the parts reduces the buoyancy and contributes to better flushing in a water closet.
Ytterhylsen 1 er ved enden utformet med lengderibber 5 danner ved krusning eller stansing eller ved sprøytestøping. Tre eller fire. radialt anordnede kjever vil således bevege seg innover for å presse områdene mellom de langsgående ribber 5 mot en hensiktsmessig, utformet innerkjerné. som temporært .er innsatt" i hylsen 1. The outer sleeve 1 is designed at the end with longitudinal ribs 5 formed by crimping or punching or by injection molding. Three or four. radially arranged jaws will thus move inwards to press the areas between the longitudinal ribs 5 against an appropriately designed inner core. which is temporarily inserted" in sleeve 1.
Som følge av anordning av de langsgående kanaler 6 fårAs a result of the arrangement of the longitudinal channels 6 obtain
det ferdige produkt passende fingergreppartier 7.. Dessuten, vil det på innsiden av disse fingergreppartier 7 være et tett anlegg med en betydelig del av yttersiden av den indre hylse 2. Derved . •'. sikres et større kontaktareal enn ved de tidligere kjente appli-katorer og hele konstruksjonen.blir mer stiv. Anordningen, av lengderibbene bidrar også til nøyaktig tet£ pasning fordi mindre variasjoner i dimensjonen vil opptas av bøyning i forhold til de langsgående ribber. the finished product suitable finger grip parts 7. Moreover, on the inside of these finger grip parts 7 there will be a tight fit with a significant part of the outer side of the inner sleeve 2. Thereby . •'. a larger contact area is ensured than with the previously known applicators and the entire construction becomes more rigid. The arrangement of the longitudinal ribs also contributes to an exact tight fit because minor variations in the dimension will be absorbed by bending in relation to the longitudinal ribs.
Av fig. 4 fremgår at innerenden av innerhylsen 2 er klok-, keformet.og munner ut i ytterhylsen 1, slik' at den ikke kan fal- From fig. 4 shows that the inner end of the inner sleeve 2 is bell-shaped and opens into the outer sleeve 1, so that it cannot fold

er noe innsnevret for å sikre at tampongen 3 holdes positivt på plass og for" å hjelpe tir med mer bekvem innføring, av tampongen-(sammenlignet med konvensjonelle tamponger ). is somewhat narrowed to ensure that the tampon 3 is positively held in place and to aid more convenient insertion of the tampon (compared to conventional tampons).
Innerhylsens 2 indre ende kan eventuelt være innbulet innover, slik at det sikres en slags indre fortanning. Derved forhindres risikoen for fastklemming.■ The inner end of the inner sleeve 2 can optionally be bulged inwards, so that a kind of internal toothing is ensured. This prevents the risk of jamming.■
En annen.utførelse er vist på fig. 6 og 7. I dette til-felle har ytterhylsen 2 en kruset ende som hovedsakelig ligner utførelsen ifølge fig. 3, men er foldet, noe kraftigere innover og ytterpartiets ende er utvidet noe utover med et klokkeformet par-■ ti 8. Således har fingerg.reppartiene 7 en mer konkav form, dvs. Another embodiment is shown in fig. 6 and 7. In this case, the outer sleeve 2 has a crimped end which is mainly similar to the design according to fig. 3, but is folded, somewhat stronger inwards and the end of the outer part is extended somewhat outwards with a bell-shaped part 8. Thus, the finger parts 7 have a more concave shape, i.e.
at de passer bedre til å gripes med fingrene. Et ytterligere trekk ved denne utførelse er at.innerhylsen 2 også er svakt krum-met innover, slik at den får noe mer firkantet form (fig. 7) hvilket fører til at hylsene sitter bedre i hverandre i uttrukket stilling. Også fremstillingen blir enklere fordi denne krusning eller folding kan utføres i en eneste operasjon etter at de tb hylser er ført inn i hverandre. Risikoen for fastklemming er også redusert. that they are better suited to be grasped with the fingers. A further feature of this design is that the inner sleeve 2 is also slightly curved inwards, so that it takes on a somewhat more square shape (fig. 7), which leads to the sleeves fitting better into each other in the extended position. The production also becomes easier because this corrugation or folding can be carried out in a single operation after the tb sleeves have been inserted into each other. The risk of jamming is also reduced.
I de viste eksempler er ribbene på ytterhylsen 1 rettet utover. Ved en alternativ utførelse av oppfinnelsen er ribbene rettet innover og danner da en bæreflate for innerhylsen og mel-lomrommet mellom dem vil danne kanaler for passering av væske. In the examples shown, the ribs on the outer sleeve 1 are directed outwards. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the ribs are directed inwards and then form a bearing surface for the inner sleeve and the space between them will form channels for the passage of liquid.
