Description

精子採取器の製造装置、及び製造方法Sperm collector manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method
 本発明は、医学的な研究、治療のための要請や、性犯罪防止、買春防止、及び性感染症の蔓延防止等の社会的な要請に基づいて普及している精子採取器の製造装置、及び製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a device for producing a sperm collector that is widely used on the basis of requests for medical research, treatment, and social demands such as prevention of sex crimes, prevention of prostitution, and spread of sexually transmitted diseases, And a manufacturing method.
 医学的な研究や治療上の必要から、精子を採取するための精子採取器が種々提案されている。例えば、夫婦間の不妊の原因を究明するために採取した精子から夫の性機能を検査したり、性機能障害を治療したり、人工授精のために精子を確保する等の医学的な必要性のために精子採取器が使用される。更に、個人的な性的欲求を解消させることによる性犯罪の予防、買春防止、性感染症感染者数の減少等の種々の社会的なニーズを満たすためにも、従来から低廉に入手することができ、しかも使い捨てタイプであるために衛生上、健康上の問題も惹起しない簡易な精子採取器が知られている(特許文献1)。
 従来の精子採取器は、プラスチックから成る一端が開口した円筒状のケース内にゲル状樹脂から成る袋状のコア部材を収容、固定し、コア部材内部にペニスを挿入した状態でケースを把持してペニス摺擦のための往復操作を行うことにより精子を採取するように構成されている。
 しかし、特許文献1の精子採取器にあっては、コア片の材料として高価なゲル状樹脂を大量に使用する必要があるため、製品コストが増大するという問題があった。また、比較的硬質樹脂から成るケース片の内面にコア片を固定した構造に過ぎないため、閉じたコア片間に形成される挿入空所内に挿入されたペニスに対して十分なクッション効果を与えて精子採取効率を高めることに限界があった。
Various sperm collectors for collecting sperm have been proposed for medical research and treatment needs. For example, medical needs such as examining husband's sexual function from sperm collected to investigate the cause of infertility between couples, treating sexual dysfunction, securing sperm for artificial insemination, etc. A sperm collector is used for this purpose. Furthermore, in order to satisfy various social needs such as prevention of sex crimes by eliminating personal sexual desires, prevention of prostitution, and reduction in the number of persons infected with sexually transmitted diseases, they must be obtained at low cost. In addition, since it is a disposable type, there is known a simple sperm collector that does not cause any health and health problems (Patent Document 1).
In a conventional sperm collector, a bag-like core member made of a gel-like resin is accommodated and fixed in a cylindrical case made of plastic and opened at one end, and the case is gripped with a penis inserted inside the core member. The sperm is collected by performing a reciprocating operation for penis rubbing.
However, in the sperm collector of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to use a large amount of expensive gel-like resin as the material of the core piece, and there is a problem that the product cost increases. In addition, since the core piece is only fixed to the inner surface of the case piece made of relatively hard resin, a sufficient cushioning effect is given to the penis inserted in the insertion space formed between the closed core pieces. Therefore, there was a limit to increasing sperm collection efficiency.

 本発明は上記に鑑みてなされたものであり、開閉自在な2つのケース片によってゲル状樹脂から成るコア片を支持した構成の精子採取器において、高価なゲル状樹脂の使用量を大幅に減少させてコストダウンを図ることができる精子採取器の製造装置、及び製造方法を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and in a sperm collector configured to support a core piece made of gel resin by two case pieces that can be freely opened and closed, the amount of expensive gel resin used is greatly reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method of a sperm collector that can reduce costs.
 上記目的を達成するため、請求項1の発明に係る精子採取器の製造装置は、2つのケース片と、該各ケース片内面に配置された弾性多孔質部材と、前記各ケース片内面との間で該各弾性多孔質部材を挟んだ状態で該各弾性多孔質部材の内面に沿って配置され且つ前記各ケース片に夫々固定されたゲル状樹脂から成るコア片と、を有した精子採取器を製造する装置であって、内面に前記弾性多孔質部材を配置した前記各ケース片を近接配置した状態で該各ケース片を固定する第1の金型と、前記第1の金型上に閉型したときに該第1の金型との間に形成される成形空間内に前記各ケース片及び前記各弾性多孔質部材を収容し、且つ前記各弾性多孔質部材の内面と夫々対向する成形面を備えた第2の金型と、前記各ケース片及び前記各弾性多孔質部材を前記成形空間内に収容した状態で前記各弾性多孔質部材内面を押圧して圧縮変形させつつ溶融状態の前記ゲル状樹脂を圧入する樹脂流路と、を備えたことを特徴とする。
 コア片とケース片との間に封じ込められた弾性多孔質部材はエアクッションとして機能し、挿入空所内を往復動するペニスに対して適度な加圧力と刺激を与えて精子採取効果を高めることができる。また、弾性多孔質部材は、コア片を構成する樹脂材料に比して軽量であるため、精子採取器を軽量化して操作性、取扱性を高めることができ、またコア片を構成する樹脂に比して低廉であるためコストダウンを図ることができる。
 この製造装置によれば、このような構成を備えた精子採取器を生産性よく製造することが可能となる。

 本発明によれば、コア片とケース片との間に封じ込められた弾性多孔質部材はエアクッションとして機能し、また、抜気孔からの空気の出し入れにより、内部のエアー量を調整し、ペニスに与える圧力(エア圧)を調整し、適正な圧力を得ることができる。つまり、容器内でのゲル状樹脂部分の体積を可変することができる。
 また、一度、抜気孔から排出された空気は抜気孔を開いておけば、ウレタンの弾性により、(自動的に)容器内に戻ってくる。また、任意の位置で抜気孔をふさぐことで、その状態で内部の空間体積が固定される。
 この結果、挿入空所内を往復動するペニスに対して適度な加圧力と刺激を与えて精子採取効果を高めることができる。また、弾性多孔質部材は、コア片を構成するゲル状樹脂に比して軽量であるため、精子採取器を軽量化して操作性、取扱性を高めることができ、またコア片を構成するゲル状樹脂に比して低廉であるためコストダウンを図ることができる。
 本発明に係る精子採取器は、確かに医学的な目的以外にも、個人的な性欲を解消するための手段として使用されることはあるが、この様な用途に供されることのある精子採取器だからといって公序良俗を乱す商品であると断定するのは、早計であり、偏見である。この種の商品が性犯罪防止、性感染症の拡散防止等に如何に役立つか、という広い視野に立って特許権を付与する価値があるか否かをご判断頂きたい。
According to the present invention, the elastic porous member confined between the core piece and the case piece functions as an air cushion, and also adjusts the amount of air inside by taking in and out air from the vent hole, Appropriate pressure can be obtained by adjusting the applied pressure (air pressure). That is, the volume of the gel-like resin portion in the container can be varied.
Further, once the air exhausted from the vent hole is opened, it returns (automatically) into the container due to the elasticity of urethane. Further, by closing the vent hole at an arbitrary position, the internal space volume is fixed in that state.
As a result, it is possible to increase the sperm collection effect by applying an appropriate pressure and stimulation to the penis reciprocating in the insertion space. In addition, since the elastic porous member is lighter than the gel-like resin that constitutes the core piece, the sperm collector can be reduced in weight to improve operability and handleability, and the gel that constitutes the core piece. The cost can be reduced because it is less expensive than the resin-like resin.
The sperm extractor according to the present invention may be used as a means for resolving personal sexual desire for a purpose other than medical purposes. Sperm may be used for such purposes. It is a prejudice and prejudice to conclude that it is a product that disturbs public order and morals just because it is a collector. Please judge whether it is worth granting patent rights from a broad perspective of how this type of product will help prevent sexual crimes and spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
 因みに以下の事例は事実に基づいており、これらの社会的要請を満たす手段として精子採取器が役立つことは疑いのない事実である。なお、当然のことながら、本発明に係る精子採取器自体は未公開、未公知の状態にある。
 まず、日本性機能学会雑誌 第24巻 第3号、2009年12月に掲載された、獨協医科大学越谷病院泌尿器科の医師による論文「射精障害患者に対するMasturbatorを用いたリハビリテーション」中において、本出願人によって製造、販売されている精子採取器が適正なマスターベーションを実施する上で有効である旨が記載されている。
 次に、本出願人からの要請により、タイ赤十字エイズ研究センター(The Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Center: http://www.redcross.or.th/english/aboutus/aids.php4) が、本出願人の開発に係る各種精子採取器を使用した男性の性行動調査を行うこととなった。本調査内容は、精子採取器を使用することで、男性(HIV感染者、非感染者、ゲイ、バイセクシュアル、ノーマル含む)の性欲の高まりを鎮めたり、性的リスク行動を抑制したりする効果が認められるか否かを調査するものである。現在同センターで調査の準備を進めている。
Incidentally, the following cases are based on facts, and there is no doubt that sperm collectors are useful as a means to meet these social demands. As a matter of course, the sperm collector itself according to the present invention is in an undisclosed and unknown state.
First, this application was published in the paper “Rehabilitation using Masturbator for patients with ejaculation disorders” published by Dokkyo Medical University Koshigaya Hospital, Department of Urology, published in Japanese Journal of Sexual Function Vol. 24, No. 3, December 2009 It is described that sperm collectors manufactured and sold by humans are effective in carrying out proper masturbation.
Next, upon request from the applicant, the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Center (http://www.redcross.or.th/english/aboutus/aids.php4) A male sexual behavior survey was conducted using various sperm collectors related to the development. The contents of this survey are the effects of using sperm collectors to mitigate the increased libido of men (including HIV-infected, non-infected, gay, bisexual and normal) and to suppress sexual risk behavior. To investigate whether or not The center is currently preparing for the survey.
 また、特別養護老人ホームでは、高齢者の性的欲求の解消のための対策が求められている。即ち、高齢者のQOL(クオリティオブライフ)にとって「性」の部分の重要性は昨今指摘されている通りであり、こういった施設で起こるトラブルの8割が男女問題、言うなれば色恋事と密接に絡んでいると言われる。本出願人が過去に製造、販売してきた精子採取器は、高齢男性が「性」を楽しむ補助となっており「生きがい」や「生きる喜び・愉しみ」を提供することを通じ、QOLの向上に貢献していることが明らかとなっている。
 また、これまで障害者の「性」に関してはなぜか長らく語られてこなかった。日本社会は人間の根源的な欲求の一つであるはずの「性欲」を、障害者には無いものとし、蓋をし続けてきた。本出願人は、「誰もが性を楽しめる社会づくり」という理念実現の一環として、障害者の性に対してもアプローチを続けている。障害児を持つ親への商品提供、自閉症児へのマスターベーション指導に関する中等養護学校教諭からの相談への対応等を行っている。
In special nursing homes for the elderly, measures to eliminate the sexual desire of the elderly are required. In other words, the importance of the “sex” part for QOL (quality of life) of the elderly is as pointed out recently, and 80% of troubles that occur in these facilities are gender problems, in other words, color love. It is said that they are closely related. The sperm collector that the applicant has manufactured and sold in the past has been helping elderly men enjoy “sex”, providing “life” and “joy and pleasure” to improve QOL. It is clear that they are contributing.
Also, until now it has not been said for a long time about the “sex” of disabled people. Japanese society has continued to cover the “sexual desire”, which should be one of the fundamental needs of human beings, without disabilities. The applicant has continued to approach the sexuality of persons with disabilities as part of realizing the philosophy of creating a society where everyone can enjoy sexuality. Offering products to parents with children with disabilities and responding to consultations from secondary school teachers on masturbation guidance for children with autism.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are perspective views showing an assembled state of a sperm collector manufactured by the sperm collector manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively. FIG. 4B is a perspective view showing the opened opening / closing unit and the holder, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the opening / closing unit. b) A cross-sectional view of the sperm collector and a cross-sectional view of the opened sperm collector.
The sperm extractor (ejaculation promoting device) 1 includes an opening / closing unit 2, and the opening / closing unit 2 is configured to be held in a closed state by attaching a holder 30.
The opening / closing unit 2 includes two case pieces 4 that are supported so as to be openable and closable around a hinge portion 3 provided at a side edge, an elastic porous member 10 disposed on the inner surface of each case piece 4, and each case A non-breathable core piece 20 disposed along the inner surface of each elastic porous member so as to hermetically seal each elastic porous member 10 between the inner surface of the piece 4 and fixed to each case piece; And an air extraction mechanism 40 that is disposed in a through hole (exhaust air hole 41) provided in each case piece 4 and communicates air in the elastic porous member 10 with outside air.
The two case pieces 4 constitute a case (container). The hinge portion 3 is made of, for example, a flexible resin sheet. The resin sheet is used as a hinge by bonding and fixing the resin sheet to the edges of both case pieces.
The configuration of the hinge portion 3 can be arbitrarily selected, and any means can be used as long as it can open and close the end edges of both case pieces.
 各コア片20は、各ケース片4の内側面に弾性多孔質部材10を介して夫々支持されて各ケース片と共に開閉し、図1(a)に示したケース片の閉止状態では各コア片間でペニス挿入用の挿入空所21を形成する。ケース片が閉止状態にある時の2つのコア片はコア部材20Aを構成している。
 ホルダ30は、閉止した状態にある開閉ユニット2を図1のように使用可能な状態にて夫々着脱自在に保持する。
 各ケース片4は比較的硬質の樹脂製薄板から成り、図1のように閉止したときに内部に図4に示した筒状中空部5を形成するように各ケース片4の内側には凹所5aが形成されている。各凹所5a内には弾性多孔質部材10を間に介在させてコア片20が整合状態で嵌合して収納され、且つ弾性多孔質部材と接していないコア片の外周縁を凹所5a内壁に固定される。ケース片は閉じたときに筒状中空部5を形成するので、筒状中空部内に軟質材料から成るコア片対(コア部材)を収容して形状を保ち、使用時の変形、型くずれ、挫屈を防止することができる。
 弾性多孔質部材10は、ウレタンフォーム(スポンジ)の如き、内部に互いに連通する多数の微細な孔を有した軟質材料から構成されており、加圧されていない状態では自らの弾性により膨らんだ状態を維持することにより孔内に空気を保持し、加圧により圧縮された状態では孔内の空気を排出する。弾性多孔質部材10は、図4の断面図に示すように外面を各ケース片4の内壁に密着させた状態で固定され、内面はコア片20と密着一体化している。
Each core piece 20 is supported on the inner surface of each case piece 4 via an elastic porous member 10 and opens and closes together with each case piece. When the case piece is closed as shown in FIG. An insertion space 21 for penis insertion is formed between them. The two core pieces when the case piece is in the closed state constitute the core member 20A.
The holder 30 holds the open / close unit 2 in a closed state in a detachable manner in a usable state as shown in FIG.
Each case piece 4 is made of a relatively hard resin thin plate, and is recessed inside each case piece 4 so as to form a cylindrical hollow portion 5 shown in FIG. 4 when closed as shown in FIG. A place 5a is formed. In each recess 5a, an elastic porous member 10 is interposed, and the core piece 20 is fitted and accommodated in an aligned state, and the outer peripheral edge of the core piece not in contact with the elastic porous member is defined as the recess 5a. Fixed to the inner wall. Since the cylindrical hollow portion 5 is formed when the case piece is closed, a pair of core pieces (core member) made of a soft material is accommodated in the cylindrical hollow portion to maintain the shape, and deformation during use, deformation, and buckling Can be prevented.
The elastic porous member 10 is composed of a soft material such as urethane foam (sponge) having a large number of fine holes communicating with each other, and is inflated by its own elasticity when not pressurized. The air is held in the hole by maintaining the pressure, and the air in the hole is discharged in a state compressed by pressurization. As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 4, the elastic porous member 10 is fixed in a state where the outer surface is in close contact with the inner wall of each case piece 4, and the inner surface is in close contact with the core piece 20.
 各ケース片4は硬質樹脂板からなる略半円筒体であり、各弾性多孔質部材10は、外面を各ケース片の凹所5a内壁に固定されると共に、弾性多孔質部材10の内面の幅方向中央面が幅方向両端部よりも膨出した構成を備えている。弾性多孔質部材10の幅方向中央面が内側へ向けて膨出している結果として、この膨出部位が他の部位よりも加圧により圧縮変形し易く、且つ圧縮解除によって膨出し易くなり、挿入空所21にペニスを挿入した時にコア片対(コア部材)から加わる圧力、圧力解除による変形が容易になる。
 本例に係るコア片20は、弾性多孔質部材10の幅方向中央面(膨出部)に対応する部位の肉厚が、弾性多孔質部材の幅方向両端部に対応する部位の肉厚よりも薄く設定されている。このため、弾性多孔質部材10が膨張していることによって発生するコア片20の幅方向中央部を内径方向に加圧する力をコア片側に忠実に反映させてコア片の薄肉部を内径側に変形させてペニスに対する加圧力を高めて、射精促進効果を高めることができる。
 なお、弾性多孔質部材内面の幅方向中央部が幅方向両端部よりも膨出している構成は必須ではなく、弾性多孔質部材内面は非膨出状(平坦状、凹状を含む)であってもよい。
Each case piece 4 is a substantially semi-cylindrical body made of a hard resin plate, and each elastic porous member 10 has its outer surface fixed to the inner wall of the recess 5a of each case piece and the width of the inner surface of the elastic porous member 10 It has a configuration in which the direction center plane bulges from both ends in the width direction. As a result of the central surface in the width direction of the elastic porous member 10 bulging inward, this bulging part is more easily compressed and deformed by pressurization than other parts, and more easily bulged by decompression and inserted. When the penis is inserted into the cavity 21, the pressure applied from the core piece pair (core member) and deformation due to the pressure release are facilitated.
In the core piece 20 according to this example, the thickness of the portion corresponding to the center surface (bulged portion) in the width direction of the elastic porous member 10 is larger than the thickness of the portions corresponding to both end portions in the width direction of the elastic porous member. Is also set thin. For this reason, the force that presses the central portion in the width direction of the core piece 20 generated by the expansion of the elastic porous member 10 in the inner diameter direction is faithfully reflected on the core piece side, so that the thin portion of the core piece is on the inner diameter side. It can be deformed to increase the pressure applied to the penis and enhance the ejaculation promoting effect.
The configuration in which the central portion in the width direction of the inner surface of the elastic porous member bulges from both ends in the width direction is not essential, and the inner surface of the elastic porous member is non-bulged (including flat and concave). Also good.
 ホルダ30は、図2等に示すように、軸方向一端部に設けられた底面31aが平坦な基部31と、基部31の一箇所から軸方向に延びて閉止状態にある開閉ユニット2の着脱をガイドすると共に開閉ユニットを脱落不能に保持する保持部35と、を備えている。
 ヒンジ部3とは反対側の各ケース片4の端縁7には夫々アリ溝部7bを有した突条7aが形成されており、図1(b)、図4(a)に示すようにケース片を閉止した時に各突条7a同士が近接して断面形状が略台形条の突条7Aを形成する。
 ホルダの保持部35の内側面にはこの突起7Aを受け入れて軸方向移動をガイドするガイド溝36が形成されている。突起7Aをガイド溝36が分離しないように押さえつつガイドするため、ケース片4を分離させずにホルダ30によって保持することができる。
As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the holder 30 attaches and detaches the base 31 having a flat bottom surface 31a provided at one end in the axial direction and the opening / closing unit 2 that extends in the axial direction from one location of the base 31 and is in a closed state. And a holding portion 35 that guides and holds the opening / closing unit so as not to drop off.
A protrusion 7a having a dovetail groove portion 7b is formed on the edge 7 of each case piece 4 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 3, and the case as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 4 (a). When the pieces are closed, the ridges 7a come close to each other to form a ridge 7A having a substantially trapezoidal cross section.
A guide groove 36 is formed on the inner side surface of the holder holding portion 35 to receive the projection 7A and guide the axial movement. Since the protrusion 7A is guided while being pressed so that the guide groove 36 is not separated, the case piece 4 can be held by the holder 30 without being separated.
 次に、ケース片4の内面に弾性多孔質部材10を間に挟んでコア片20を一体化した構造は、ケース片内面に弾性多孔質部材10を位置決めした状態で、このケース片を金型の成型空所(キャビティ)内に配置し、コア片を構成するゲル状樹脂材料を成型空所内に注入する射出成形を行うことにより製造することができる。
 コア片20は少なくともその一部をゲル状樹脂等の軟質樹脂から構成し、ケース片4とコア片20との接触面は射出成形時に一体的に固定された状態となる。本実施形態のコア片20は、図4の断面図に示すように弾性多孔質部材10の内面全体に被覆された軟質樹脂層23から成り、コア片20の内面には挿入空所21を形成する凹所24を形成する。凹所24の軸方向一端部には挿入口21aとなる凹部26を形成する。なお、挿入口21aと対応するケース片4の端面には挿入用開口部4aが形成される。
 コア片20を構成する軟質樹脂層23は、エラストマーのような弾性を有したゲル状の樹脂、或いはゲル状のゴム等から構成する。コア片20は従来のコア部材とは異なって袋体状ではなく、袋体を軸方向へ二分割した如き形状であるために、射出成形に使用する金型をシンプル化することができる。従って、凹所24の内壁には任意の配置、形状にて突起、襞等を自由自在に形成できる。なお、2つのコア片20はコア部材20Aを構成している。
 このような材質から成るコア片20とケース片4との間に封じ込められた弾性多孔質部材10はエアクッションとして機能し、挿入空所21内を往復動するペニスに対して適度な加圧力と刺激を与えて精子採取効果を高めることができる。
Next, the structure in which the core piece 20 is integrated with the inner surface of the case piece 4 with the elastic porous member 10 interposed therebetween is a state in which the elastic porous member 10 is positioned on the inner surface of the case piece. It is possible to manufacture by performing injection molding in which the gel-like resin material constituting the core piece is injected into the molding cavity.
At least a part of the core piece 20 is made of a soft resin such as a gel resin, and the contact surface between the case piece 4 and the core piece 20 is integrally fixed at the time of injection molding. The core piece 20 of the present embodiment is composed of a soft resin layer 23 coated on the entire inner surface of the elastic porous member 10 as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, and an insertion space 21 is formed on the inner surface of the core piece 20. A recess 24 is formed. A recess 26 serving as an insertion port 21a is formed at one end of the recess 24 in the axial direction. An insertion opening 4a is formed on the end surface of the case piece 4 corresponding to the insertion opening 21a.
The soft resin layer 23 constituting the core piece 20 is made of a gel-like resin having elasticity such as an elastomer, or a gel-like rubber. Unlike the conventional core member, the core piece 20 is not shaped like a bag, but is shaped like a bag divided into two in the axial direction, so that the mold used for injection molding can be simplified. Accordingly, protrusions, wrinkles and the like can be freely formed on the inner wall of the recess 24 in any arrangement and shape. The two core pieces 20 constitute a core member 20A.
The elastic porous member 10 enclosed between the core piece 20 and the case piece 4 made of such a material functions as an air cushion, and has an appropriate pressure against the penis reciprocating in the insertion space 21. Stimulation can be given to enhance the sperm collection effect.
 また、弾性多孔質部材10は、コア片を構成するゲル状樹脂材料に比して軽量であるため、精子採取器を軽量化して操作性、取扱性を高めることができ、またゲル状樹脂に比して低廉であるためゲル状樹脂の量を減らすことによりコストダウンを図ることができる。
 抜気機構40は、各ケース片4に形成された抜気孔41に対して組み付けられたボタン部材42からなり、常時においては図示しないバネによって外方へ付勢されている。ボタン部材42は、外方へ位置している時には抜気孔41を閉止する一方で、バネに抗して指によって内方へ押し込まれたときに抜気孔41を開放してケース片とコア片との間の空所Sに配置された弾性多孔質部材を外気と連通させるように構成されている。
 要するに、ボタン部材42を押し込んでいる時は空所S内の空気が抜気孔から外部へ放出されるため、挿入空所21へペニスを挿入するとコア部材の挿入空所21が拡開し、ペニスを退避させると各コア片と弾性多孔質部材の原形復帰力によって挿入空所が狭まる。従って、ペニスと挿入空所内壁とが常に密着した状態を維持し、この密着効果により射精を促進することができる。
In addition, since the elastic porous member 10 is lighter than the gel-like resin material constituting the core piece, the sperm extractor can be lightened to improve the operability and handleability. The cost is reduced by reducing the amount of the gel-like resin because it is inexpensive.
The air extraction mechanism 40 includes a button member 42 assembled to an air extraction hole 41 formed in each case piece 4 and is normally urged outward by a spring (not shown). The button member 42 closes the vent hole 41 when positioned outward, while opening the vent hole 41 when pushed inward by a finger against the spring to open the case piece and the core piece. The elastic porous member disposed in the space S between the two is configured to communicate with the outside air.
In short, when the button member 42 is pushed in, the air in the void S is released from the vent hole to the outside. Therefore, when the penis is inserted into the insertion void 21, the insertion void 21 of the core member is expanded, and the penis When retracted, the insertion space is narrowed by the original restoring force of each core piece and the elastic porous member. Therefore, the state in which the penis and the inner wall of the insertion space are always in close contact with each other can be maintained, and ejaculation can be promoted by this close contact effect.
 一方、ペニスを挿入空所内に位置させた状態でボタン部材42を押し込む力を解除すると、ボタン部材がバネによって外方へ変位して抜気孔41を閉止して空所S内の空気が外部へ放出されなくなるため、空所Sがペニスによって押し広げられたまま(弾性多孔質部材が圧縮されたまま)の状態となるため、ペニスは挿入空所内でホールドされる。ペニスの形状に押し広げられた空間が固定される。このため、ペニスと挿入空所内壁との密着力が高まり、更なる吸着効果が発生し、使用感が変わる。この状態でペニスを空所Sから引き抜く方向へ退避させると、ペニスより奥側の空間は固定されているので、ペニス先端部の外面に負圧が生じ、吸着感を得ることができる。
 このような密着感、使用感の変化は、ボタン押圧(抜気孔の開放)、押圧解除(抜気孔の閉止)とペニス挿入、往復動作という各操作の協働によって弾性多孔質部材の体積を変化させることによって初めて得ることができる。
On the other hand, when the force that pushes the button member 42 is released with the penis positioned in the insertion space, the button member is displaced outward by the spring to close the vent hole 41 and the air in the space S to the outside. Since it is not released, the void S remains in the state of being expanded by the penis (the elastic porous member remains compressed), and the penis is held in the insertion void. The space expanded into the shape of the penis is fixed. For this reason, the adhesive force between the penis and the inner wall of the insertion space is increased, a further adsorption effect is generated, and the feeling of use is changed. In this state, when the penis is retracted in the direction in which it is pulled out from the space S, the space behind the penis is fixed, so that negative pressure is generated on the outer surface of the penis tip, and a feeling of adsorption can be obtained.
Such changes in the feeling of adhesion and feeling of use change the volume of the elastic porous member by cooperating the operations of button pressing (opening the vent hole), releasing the pressure (closing the vent hole), inserting the penis, and reciprocating operation. It can be obtained for the first time.
 次に、本実施形態に係る精子採取器(射精促進装置)を射出成形によって製造するための製造装置(金型装置)について説明する。
 図5及び図6は図1乃至図4に示した精子採取器の製造装置の構成を示す分解斜視図であり、図7及び図8は本製造装置による成形手順を示す斜視図であり、図9は第1の金型にケース片をセットした状態を示す断面図であり、図10(a)及び(b)は本製造装置による成形手順を示す断面図である。

Next, a manufacturing apparatus (mold apparatus) for manufacturing the sperm collector (ejaculation promoting apparatus) according to the present embodiment by injection molding will be described.
5 and 6 are exploded perspective views showing the configuration of the sperm collector manufacturing apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are perspective views showing the molding procedure of the manufacturing apparatus. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the case piece is set in the first mold, and FIGS. 10A and 10B are cross-sectional views showing a forming procedure by the manufacturing apparatus.
The manufacturing apparatus 50 has two substantially semi-cylindrical case pieces 4 having concave inner surfaces and vent holes 41 and connected to each other by hinge portions (adhesive tape) 3 so as to be openable and closable. Gel-like resin disposed (filled) along the inner surface of the elastic porous member with the elastic porous member sandwiched between the formed elastic porous member 10 and the inner surface of each case piece and fixed to the case piece Is a device for manufacturing a sperm collector having a core piece 20.
The core piece 20 is disposed along the inner surface of each elastic porous member with each elastic porous member interposed between each case piece inner surface, and the core piece is elastic porous as in this example. There is a case where the member is compressed and deformed and a case where the member is not compressed and deformed.
The manufacturing apparatus 50 supports each case piece in a state in which two case pieces 4 each having the elastic porous member 10 arranged on the inner surface are arranged in parallel, and has molding surfaces 51a respectively facing the inner surfaces of the respective elastic porous members. Each case piece 4 and each elastic porous member 10 in a molding space C formed between the first mold 51 provided and the first mold when the mold is closed on the first mold. In a state in which the second mold 60 for housing the gas, the case pieces 4 and the elastic porous members 10 are accommodated in the molding space C, the inner surface of each elastic porous member is pressed and compressed and deformed to melt the gel. And a resin flow path (runner 70a and gate 70b) 70 for injecting the resin 75.
 第1の金型51の上面には、略同一形状の突状成形部52が2個並行に突設されており、各突状成形部52の上面であって抜気機構40と対応する位置には夫々凹所52aが形成されている。各突状成形部52は各コア片20の凹所24を形成するのに適した略蒲鉾状(半円筒状)をなしている。各突状成形部52の長手方向一端部には各コア片の挿入口21a及びその近傍の形状を転写するのに適した凹凸部53が連続して形成されている。各突状成形部52の長手方向他端部と幅方向両側縁に沿った第1の金型の上面にはこれらを包囲するように薄板状壁としての突条部54がコ字状に連続して形成されている。
 また、図10に示すように第1の金型51の底面と突状成形部52の適所との間には樹脂流路70が貫通形成されており、図示しないスプルーから圧送されてくる溶融状態のゲル状樹脂75を第1の金型と第2の金型の成形面間に形成される成形空間C内に供給するように構成されている。本例では、ランナー70aの先端に位置するゲート70bが突状成形部52と弾性多孔質部材10との対向面(接触面)にあるため、ゲート70bから吐出された溶融樹脂75は弾性多孔質部材10を押圧して圧縮変形させつつ成形空間C内に展開してゆく。
On the upper surface of the first mold 51, two projecting molded portions 52 having substantially the same shape are projected in parallel, and the upper surface of each projecting molded portion 52 is a position corresponding to the venting mechanism 40. Each is formed with a recess 52a. Each protrusion-shaped portion 52 has a substantially bowl shape (semi-cylindrical shape) suitable for forming the recess 24 of each core piece 20. Convex and concave portions 53 suitable for transferring the shape of the insertion port 21a of each core piece and the vicinity thereof are continuously formed at one end in the longitudinal direction of each projecting shaped portion 52. On the upper surface of the first mold along the other end in the longitudinal direction and both side edges in the width direction of each projecting shaped part 52, a ridge part 54 as a thin plate-like wall is continuous in a U-shape so as to surround them. Is formed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a resin flow path 70 is formed through between the bottom surface of the first mold 51 and a proper position of the projecting molding portion 52, and the molten state is pumped from a sprue (not shown). The gel-like resin 75 is supplied into a molding space C formed between the molding surfaces of the first mold and the second mold. In this example, since the gate 70b located at the tip of the runner 70a is on the facing surface (contact surface) between the protruding molded part 52 and the elastic porous member 10, the molten resin 75 discharged from the gate 70b is elastic porous. The member 10 is expanded in the molding space C while being pressed and deformed.
 第2の金型60は、第1の金型51上に閉型した時に、突状成形部52とその周辺を覆う第1の分割片61と、突状成形部52の長手方向一端部よりも先端側を覆う第2の分割片65と、を備えている。第1の分割片61と第2の分割片62を第1の金型51上に組み付けた時に、両金型の成形面間(成形面61a、65aと成形面52、53との間)に成形空間Cが形成される。第2の分割片65側に設けた凹所65aと凹凸部53との間に形成される空間にゲル状樹脂が充填されて固化することにより、各コア片の挿入口21a及びその近傍の形状が形成される。
 なお、本例では第2の金型60を2つの分割片61、65から構成した分割タイプを示したが、一体型であってもよい。
When the second mold 60 is closed onto the first mold 51, the first divided piece 61 covering the projecting molded part 52 and its periphery, and one end in the longitudinal direction of the projecting molded part 52. And a second divided piece 65 covering the tip side. When the first divided piece 61 and the second divided piece 62 are assembled on the first mold 51, between the molding surfaces of both molds (between the molding surfaces 61a and 65a and the molding surfaces 52 and 53). A molding space C is formed. The space formed between the recess 65a provided on the second divided piece 65 side and the concavo-convex portion 53 is filled with a gel-like resin and solidified, whereby the insertion opening 21a of each core piece and the shape of the vicinity thereof are formed. Is formed.
In this example, a split type in which the second mold 60 is constituted by two split pieces 61 and 65 is shown, but an integral type may be used.
 次に、製造装置50を用いて精子採取器1を製造する手順を説明する。
 まず、弾性多孔質部材10を内面(凹所内)に接着固定したケース片4を、第1の金型側の突状成形部52上にセットして弾性多孔質部材10の内面と突状成形部52の外面とを対向(接触)させる(図7、図8、図9)。この際、抜気孔41は抜気機構40を構成するボタン部材42により閉止しておく。ボタン部材はバネによって外側へ常時付勢されているため、ボタン部材を内部へ押し込まない限り抜気孔41は閉止された状態にある。
 或いは、抜気孔を図示しない粘着テープによって閉止しておいてもよい。
 なお、弾性多孔質部材はケース片内面に必ずしも接着する必要はなく、溶融樹脂注入時に動かない程度に仮止め、或いは位置決めする程度であっても良い。
Next, a procedure for manufacturing the sperm collector 1 using the manufacturing apparatus 50 will be described.
First, the case piece 4 in which the elastic porous member 10 is bonded and fixed to the inner surface (inside the recess) is set on the protruding molding portion 52 on the first mold side, and the inner surface of the elastic porous member 10 and the protruding molding are formed. The outer surface of the part 52 is opposed (contacted) (FIGS. 7, 8, and 9). At this time, the vent hole 41 is closed by a button member 42 constituting the vent mechanism 40. Since the button member is constantly urged outward by the spring, the vent hole 41 is in a closed state unless the button member is pushed into the inside.
Alternatively, the vent hole may be closed with an adhesive tape (not shown).
The elastic porous member is not necessarily bonded to the inner surface of the case piece, and may be temporarily fixed or positioned so as not to move when the molten resin is injected.
 次いで、図10(a)に示すように第1の金型51の上面に第2の金型60を組み付けて閉型することにより第2の金型60の下面に設けた2つの成形凹所61a、65aによって各ケース片4の外面を抑えて固定する。この閉型状態において第1の金型51と第2の金型60の間に形成される成形空間C内部では、図10(a)に示すように各ケース片4に固定された弾性多孔質部材10が突状成形部52によって圧迫されて圧縮変形した状態となっている。
 次いで、図10(b)に示すように樹脂流路70から溶融したゲル状樹脂を成形空間C内に注入する。樹脂流路の先端に位置するゲート70bは、突状成形部52と弾性多孔質部材10との接触面に開口しているため、ゲートから吐出されるゲル状樹脂75は弾性多孔質部材10を押しのけながら成形空間内に展開してゆく。樹脂の注入が終了した際には図示のように突状成形部52と弾性多孔質部材10との接触面には全体に渡ってゲル状樹脂75が充填されており、且つ他の成形空間部分にもゲル状樹脂が充填された状態にある。
Next, as shown in FIG. 10A, two molding recesses provided on the lower surface of the second mold 60 by assembling the second mold 60 on the upper surface of the first mold 51 and closing the mold. The outer surface of each case piece 4 is suppressed and fixed by 61a and 65a. In this closed mold state, inside the molding space C formed between the first mold 51 and the second mold 60, an elastic porous material fixed to each case piece 4 as shown in FIG. The member 10 is in a state of being compressed and deformed by being pressed by the projecting molding portion 52.
Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the gel resin melted from the resin flow path 70 is injected into the molding space C. Since the gate 70b located at the tip of the resin flow path is open to the contact surface between the protruding molded portion 52 and the elastic porous member 10, the gel-like resin 75 discharged from the gate causes the elastic porous member 10 to move. Expands into the molding space while pushing away. When the injection of the resin is finished, the contact surface between the projecting molded portion 52 and the elastic porous member 10 is filled with the gel-like resin 75 as shown in the figure, and the other molding space portion The gel-like resin is also filled.
 上記成形過程においてケース片の抜気孔41はボタン部材42によって閉止されているため、成形中に圧縮された状態にある弾性多孔質部材10の多孔内部に空気が入ることがない。このため、溶融ゲル状樹脂を弾性多孔質部材と金型側の成形面との間に充填することが可能となる。
 ゲル状樹脂の冷却のための時間が経過した後で、金型を開いて成形品を取り出すことによって、2つのケース片、弾性多孔質部材、ゲル状樹脂を一体化した精子採取器を得ることができ、抜気孔41に抜気機構40を構成する部品を組み付けることによって完成する。
 バネに抗してボタン部材42を内方へ押し込むことにより抜気孔からケース片とコア片との間の空間に空気が入り、弾性多孔質部材が膨張する。粘着テープによって抜気孔を閉止する場合には粘着テープを剥離することによって空気が入る。
Since the vent hole 41 of the case piece is closed by the button member 42 in the molding process, air does not enter the inside of the elastic porous member 10 that is compressed during molding. For this reason, it becomes possible to fill the molten gel-like resin between the elastic porous member and the molding surface on the mold side.
After the time for cooling the gel resin elapses, the mold is opened and the molded product is taken out to obtain a sperm collector in which the two case pieces, the elastic porous member, and the gel resin are integrated. And is completed by assembling the parts constituting the air extraction mechanism 40 to the air extraction hole 41.
By pushing the button member 42 inward against the spring, air enters the space between the case piece and the core piece from the vent hole, and the elastic porous member expands. When closing the vent hole with an adhesive tape, air enters by peeling the adhesive tape.
 本例では、予め2つのケース片4をヒンジ部3によって開閉自在に連結しているので、成形品を離型することによりほぼ完成した状態の精子採取器を得ることができる。
 なお、弾性多孔質部材10を固定した個々のケース片4を個別に金型内にセットしてゲル状樹脂を一体化することも可能である。
 即ち、ケース片に対するゲル状樹脂の成形一体化を個別に実施する場合、製造装置50は、内面に弾性多孔質部材10を配置した単一のケース片の外面を固定する第1の金型51と、第1の金型上に閉型したときに第1の金型との間に形成される成形空間内にケース片4及び弾性多孔質部材10を収容し、且つ弾性多孔質部材の内面と対向する成形面を備えた第2の金型60と、ケース片及び弾性多孔質部材を成形空間内に収容した状態で弾性多孔質部材内面を押圧して圧縮変形させつつ溶融状態のゲル状樹脂75を圧入する樹脂流路70と、を備えた構成とする。
 なお、本発明の製造装置50を用いて精子採取器1を製造する方法は次の工程から構成される。
 即ち、本発明の精子採取器1の製造方法は、弾性多孔質部材10の内面を金型側の成形面と対面させた状態で該金型のキャビティ内にケース片を固定する工程と、キャビティ内に溶融したゲル状樹脂75を注入する際に、弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させつつ溶融ゲル状樹脂を金型側の成形面との間に圧入する工程と、キャビティ内に充填された溶融ゲル状樹脂が固化した際に、金型を開放して精子採取器を取り出す工程と、を備えている。
In this example, the two case pieces 4 are connected in advance by the hinge part 3 so as to be freely opened and closed, so that a sperm collector in a substantially completed state can be obtained by releasing the molded product.
In addition, it is also possible to individually set the individual case pieces 4 to which the elastic porous member 10 is fixed in the mold to integrate the gel-like resin.
That is, in the case where the gel-like resin is molded and integrated individually with respect to the case piece, the manufacturing apparatus 50 fixes the outer surface of the single case piece with the elastic porous member 10 disposed on the inner surface. And the case piece 4 and the elastic porous member 10 are accommodated in a molding space formed between the first mold and the first mold when the mold is closed on the first mold, and the inner surface of the elastic porous member The second mold 60 having a molding surface facing the mold, the gel piece in a molten state while pressing and compressing the inner surface of the elastic porous member in a state where the case piece and the elastic porous member are accommodated in the molding space And a resin flow path 70 into which the resin 75 is press-fitted.
In addition, the method of manufacturing the sperm extractor 1 using the manufacturing apparatus 50 of this invention is comprised from the following process.
That is, the method of manufacturing the sperm collector 1 of the present invention includes a step of fixing a case piece in the cavity of the mold with the inner surface of the elastic porous member 10 facing the molding surface on the mold side, When injecting the melted gel-like resin 75 into the inside, a step of press-fitting the melt-gel resin between the molding surface on the mold side while compressively deforming the elastic porous member, and a melt filled in the cavity And a step of opening the mold and taking out the sperm collector when the gel-like resin is solidified.
 このように本発明の製造装置、及び製造方法によれば、弾性多孔質部材をケース片とコア片との間に介在させることによって高価なゲル状樹脂の使用量を低減できる精子採取装置を一回の射出成形によって一括して製造することができる。特に、弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させつつ弾性多孔質部材と成形面との間に溶融ゲル状樹脂を圧入することによりゲル状樹脂層を形成するので、一括した製造が可能となる。
 なお、上記実施形態では樹脂流路70からゲル状樹脂75を成形空間内に注入する際に弾性多孔質部材内面を押圧して圧縮変形させる例を示したが、弾性多孔質部材と対向する金型成形面との間に空隙を形成しておき、この空隙にゲル状樹脂を注入することによって弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させないようにしてもよい。
As described above, according to the manufacturing apparatus and the manufacturing method of the present invention, there is provided a sperm sampling apparatus that can reduce the amount of expensive gel-like resin used by interposing the elastic porous member between the case piece and the core piece. It can be manufactured collectively by one-time injection molding. In particular, since the gel-like resin layer is formed by pressing the molten gel-like resin between the elastic porous member and the molding surface while compressively deforming the elastic porous member, batch production is possible.
In the above embodiment, the example in which the inner surface of the elastic porous member is pressed and compressed when the gel resin 75 is injected from the resin flow path 70 into the molding space is shown. It is possible to prevent the elastic porous member from being compressed and deformed by forming a gap between the mold forming surface and injecting a gel-like resin into the gap.

 2つのケース片81A、81Bはコア片100を介して連接されており、図11に示した閉止状態(非使用状態)と図12に示した開放状態(使用状態)との間を変位するように構成されている。各ケース片81は中央部に矩形の平坦面81aを有し、この平坦面の幅方向両端縁から曲面状の庇部81bが張り出している。少なくとも一方のケース片81の平坦面には抜気孔81cが貫通形成されており、この抜気孔には前記実施形態の精子採取器1に備わった抜気機構40と同様の抜気機構40が成形終了後に組み付けられる。
 各ケース片81の内面の外周には小孔82aを有した板状の突片82が突設されている。この突片82は、金型内に注入された溶融樹脂が小孔82a内に入り込んで絡みついた状態で固化するように構成されており、固化したゲル状樹脂とケース片とを一体化するための手段である。
 2つのコア片100は外周部分を全周に渡って伸縮自在な連接壁(ゲル状樹脂)101によって連接一体化されると共に、その内部はペニス挿入空所102となっている。また、連接壁101の一端面にはペニス挿入用の挿入口103が貫通形成されている。

 製造装置110は、このような構成を有した精子採取器80を射出成形によって製造する金型装置である。
 製造装置110は、内面に弾性多孔質部材90を配置した一方のケース片81Aの外面を支持する第1の金型111と、内面120aに弾性多孔質部材90を配置した他方のケース片81Bの外面を支持すると共に該内面を第1の金型111の内面111aと対向配置した状態で該第1の金型に組み付けられる第2の金型120と、第1の金型111と第2の金型120との間に介挿されて各弾性多孔質部材の内面と接触する成形面を両面に備えた入れ子130と、を備えている。
 入れ子130は、金型内において各弾性多孔質部材90と対向する両面に夫々成形面131aを有した入れ子本体131と、入れ子本体の幅方向両端部に夫々一体化された堰き止め部材132と、入れ子本体131の長手方向一端から突設された突出部材135と、を備えている。入れ子本体131の両面131aにはコア片100の凹所内に形成する突起や襞を転写するための突起や凹部が形成されている。堰き止め部材132は、図14に示すように金型を閉じた時に、庇部81bと突片82との間の空所内に入り込んで小孔82a内を内側から外側へ流動する溶融したゲル状樹脂75の流れを堰き止め、ゲル状樹脂の固化後にはゲル状樹脂と庇部81bとの間に空間81dが形成されるように機能する。ここに空間81dが形成されることにより、ゲル状樹脂が庇部81bを越えて外側へはみ出すことを防止でき、はみ出したゲル状樹脂によってケース片を閉止できなくなる不具合を解消できる。
The manufacturing apparatus 110 is a mold apparatus that manufactures the sperm collector 80 having such a configuration by injection molding.
The manufacturing apparatus 110 includes a first mold 111 that supports the outer surface of one case piece 81A in which the elastic porous member 90 is disposed on the inner surface, and the other case piece 81B in which the elastic porous member 90 is disposed on the inner surface 120a. A second mold 120 that supports the outer surface and is assembled to the first mold with the inner surface facing the inner surface 111a of the first mold 111, the first mold 111, and the second mold And a nest 130 provided on both sides with a molding surface interposed between the mold 120 and contacting the inner surface of each elastic porous member.
The nest 130 includes a nest body 131 having molding surfaces 131a on both surfaces facing each elastic porous member 90 in the mold, and dam members 132 respectively integrated at both ends in the width direction of the nest body. And a projecting member 135 projecting from one end of the nesting body 131 in the longitudinal direction. On both surfaces 131a of the nesting body 131, protrusions and recesses for transferring protrusions and wrinkles formed in the recesses of the core piece 100 are formed. When the mold is closed as shown in FIG. 14, the damming member 132 enters the space between the flange 81b and the projecting piece 82 and flows in the small hole 82a from the inside to the outside. It functions so that the flow of the resin 75 is blocked and a space 81d is formed between the gel resin and the flange 81b after the gel resin is solidified. By forming the space 81d here, it is possible to prevent the gel-like resin from protruding beyond the flange portion 81b and to solve the problem that the case piece cannot be closed by the protruding gel-like resin.
 入れ子本体131の内部には、溶融状態のゲル状樹脂を各弾性多孔質部材と入れ子の成形面との間に注入する樹脂流路131Aを備えている。突出部材135は、成形時に連接壁101に挿入口103を形成する機能と、入れ子本体131内の樹脂流路131Aに溶融樹脂を供給するランナーとしての機能を有している。突出部材135内に設けた流路135aは樹脂流路131Aと連通している。入れ子本体131の適所、本例では突出部材135と反対側の端部、更には表裏の成形面には樹脂流路131Aと連通する吐出口が開口しており、流路135a、樹脂流路131Aを経て流入してきた溶融樹脂は各吐出口から成形空間C内に充填される。この際、各弾性多孔質部材90と対面する入れ子本体131の成形面に形成された吐出口から吐出された溶融樹脂は、弾性多孔質部材90を圧縮させながら成形面に沿って展開してゆき、固化後に弾性多孔質部材90と一体化する。更に、成形面の幅方向に展開してゆく溶融樹脂は、突片82に形成した小孔82a内を外側へ通過した後で堰き止め部材132に沿って上向きに流動し突片82を内包するように密着一体化される。ゲル状樹脂の固化後にはゲル状樹脂と庇部81bとの間に空間81dが形成される。 Inside the nesting body 131, there is provided a resin flow path 131A for injecting a molten gel resin between each elastic porous member and the molding surface of the nesting. The projecting member 135 has a function of forming the insertion port 103 in the connecting wall 101 at the time of molding and a function of a runner that supplies molten resin to the resin flow path 131 </ b> A in the nesting body 131. A flow path 135a provided in the protruding member 135 communicates with the resin flow path 131A. Discharge ports communicating with the resin flow path 131A are opened at appropriate positions of the nesting body 131, in this example, on the end opposite to the protruding member 135, and on the front and back molding surfaces, and the flow path 135a and the resin flow path 131A are opened. The molten resin that has flowed in through is filled into the molding space C from each discharge port. At this time, the molten resin discharged from the discharge port formed on the molding surface of the nesting body 131 facing each elastic porous member 90 expands along the molding surface while compressing the elastic porous member 90. Then, it is integrated with the elastic porous member 90 after solidification. Furthermore, the molten resin that develops in the width direction of the molding surface flows upward along the damming member 132 after passing through the inside of the small hole 82 a formed in the protruding piece 82, and includes the protruding piece 82. Are closely integrated. After the gel resin is solidified, a space 81d is formed between the gel resin and the flange 81b.
 次に、製造装置110による射出成形手順を図15に基づいて説明する。
 図15(a)(b)はケース片、及び弾性多孔質部材を金型装置内へセットする手順を示した断面図であり、抜気孔81cを粘着テープ83によって閉止した各ケース片81A、81Bの内面に各弾性多孔質部材90を配置(接着、或いは仮止め)した状態で、ケース片81Aの外面を第1の金型111の凹所111a内に着座させる。次いで入れ子130を各弾性多孔質部材90によって挟むように両ケース片を重ね合わせた状態で第2の金型120を第1の金型上に組み付けて閉型する。この時、弾性多孔質部材は圧縮変形し、多孔質内の空気は一部抜気された状態となっている。

The outer surface of the case piece 81 </ b> A is seated in the recess 111 a of the first mold 111 with each elastic porous member 90 disposed (adhered or temporarily fixed) on the inner surface of the first mold 111. Next, the second mold 120 is assembled on the first mold in a state where both case pieces are overlapped so that the insert 130 is sandwiched between the elastic porous members 90, and the mold is closed. At this time, the elastic porous member is compressed and deformed, and the air in the porous body is partially evacuated.

After filling the front end side of the molding space C formed between the case pieces, the elastic porous member enters and expands into the interface with the insert while being compressed, and finally fills the entire molding space. In addition, the resin discharged from the discharge port formed on the molding surface of the insert also develops in the same manner. In this process, the molten resin 75 comes into close contact with the elastic porous member and the projecting piece 82 and is integrated with cooling.

 なお、各ケース片81A、81Bは、ゲル状樹脂75によって連接一体化されているため、挿入口103から挿入空所内にペニスを挿入した場合には図15(f)に示すようにゲル状樹脂75が弾性的に伸展してケース片間距離を離間させることができる。ペニスを抜き取った後には原形に復帰する。
FIG. 15D shows a state in which the mold is opened. After the gel resin is solidified, the first and second molds 111 and 120 are opened to take out the molded product, and the insert 130 is pulled out.
In FIG. 15 (e), by peeling off the adhesive tape 83 that has blocked the vent hole 81c, air enters and expands inside the elastic porous member accommodated in the airtight space between the case piece and the gel resin. . At this stage, the evacuation mechanism 40 is assembled to the evacuation hole 81c to complete the sperm collector.
Since each case piece 81A, 81B is connected and integrated with a gel-like resin 75, when a penis is inserted into the insertion space from the insertion port 103, the gel-like resin as shown in FIG. 15 (f). 75 can be elastically extended and the distance between the case pieces can be separated. After removing the penis, it returns to its original shape.
 製造装置110を用いて精子採取器80を製造する手順は次の通りである。
 即ち、精子採取器80の製造方法は、各弾性多孔質部材90の内面を夫々金型を構成する入れ子130の成形面131aと対面させた状態で、金型111、120間のキャビティ内に各ケース片81A、81Bを固定する工程と、キャビティ内に溶融したゲル状樹脂75を注入する際に、各弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させつつ溶融ゲル状樹脂を入れ子の各成形面との間に圧入する工程と、キャビティ内に充填された溶融ゲル状樹脂が固化した際に、金型を開放して精子採取器を取り出す工程と、を備えている。

 なお、上記実施形態では樹脂流路からゲル状樹脂を成形空間内に注入する際に弾性多孔質部材内面を押圧して圧縮変形させる例を示したが、弾性多孔質部材と対向する金型成形面との間に空隙を形成しておき、この空隙にゲル状樹脂を注入することによって弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させないようにしてもよい。
The procedure for manufacturing the sperm collector 80 using the manufacturing apparatus 110 is as follows.
That is, in the method of manufacturing the sperm collector 80, the inner surface of each elastic porous member 90 faces the molding surface 131a of the insert 130 that constitutes the mold, and each cavities are placed in the cavities between the molds 111 and 120.

It can be manufactured collectively by one-time injection molding. In particular, since the gel-like resin layer is formed by pressing the molten gel-like resin between the elastic porous member and the molding surface while compressively deforming the elastic porous member, batch production is possible.

 製造装置180は、この精子採取器150を射出成形により製造するための金型装置である。
 製造装置180は、ケースの軸方向一端開口部151aに固定されて開口部151aを閉止する端部閉止片182、及び、端部閉止片中央部から延びてその先端部と第2の金型内面との間に空間Sを形成する中空筒状の入れ子185を有した第1の金型181と、内面に弾性多孔質部材160を配置したケース151の軸方向他端開口部151bに固定されて開口部151bを閉止する第2の金型190と、を備えている。
FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the sperm collector and its manufacturing apparatus according to this embodiment. FIGS. 20A, 20B, and 20C show a state where the case and the elastic porous member are assembled to the mold. FIG. 21A is a cross-sectional view of the main part, FIG. 21B is a cross-sectional view of the main part in a state where the second mold is removed, and FIG. It is sectional drawing explaining a shaping | molding procedure.
The manufacturing apparatus 180 is a mold apparatus for manufacturing the sperm collector 150 by injection molding.
The manufacturing apparatus 180 includes an end closing piece 182 that is fixed to the opening 151a in the axial direction of the case and closes the opening 151a, and extends from the center of the end closing piece and the tip and the second mold inner surface. And a first mold 181 having a hollow cylindrical insert 185 that forms a space S therebetween, and an axially other end opening 151b of the case 151 in which the elastic porous member 160 is disposed on the inner surface. And a second mold 190 for closing the opening 151b.
 第1の金型181は、端部閉止片182の上面にケース151の一端開口部151aを着座嵌合させる円形の凹所(溝)182aを有しており、図20(a)の状態では開口部151aは閉止されている。端部閉止片182の底面から入れ子185の内部を軸方向へ貫通するように樹脂流路183が形成されている。樹脂流路183の先端部は入れ子185の先端部にて開口しており、入れ子先端部と第2の金型下面との間に形成される空間Sと樹脂流路183の先端開口と連通している。
 ケースの一端開口部151a、及び一端開口部151aの周縁にはゲル状樹脂を絡めて一体化し易くするための小孔152が所定のピッチにて形成されている。
 第2の金型190は、その下面にケース151の他端開口部151b周縁を嵌合させる環状の溝190aを有しており、図20(a)の状態では開口部151bは閉止されている。
The first mold 181 has a circular recess (groove) 182a for seating and fitting the one end opening 151a of the case 151 on the upper surface of the end closing piece 182. In the state of FIG. The opening 151a is closed. A resin flow path 183 is formed so as to penetrate the inside of the insert 185 in the axial direction from the bottom surface of the end closing piece 182. The front end of the resin flow path 183 opens at the front end of the insert 185, and communicates with the space S formed between the front end of the insert and the second mold lower surface and the front end opening of the resin flow path 183. ing.
Small holes 152 are formed at a predetermined pitch on the one end opening 151a of the case and the peripheral edge of the one end opening 151a so as to easily entangle and integrate the gel resin.
The second mold 190 has an annular groove 190a for fitting the peripheral edge of the other end opening 151b of the case 151 on its lower surface, and the opening 151b is closed in the state of FIG. .
 成形に際しては、図19、図20に示すように第1の金型の端部閉止片182の凹所182a内にケースの一端開口部151aを着座させてこれを閉止する。次いで、弾性多孔質部材の中空部内に入れ子185が入り込むようにケース内に弾性多孔質部材160を嵌合する。弾性多孔質部材160は、ケースと入れ子とによって挟圧されて圧縮変形し、内部の空気が一部抜気される。更に、ケース上端部に第2の金型を組み付けることによりケース内部を封止した状態とする。この時、ケース内部は樹脂流路183のみを介して外部と連通可能な状態となっている。
 この状態で、端部閉止片182の底面の穴から樹脂流路183内に溶融状態にあるゲル状樹脂75を注入すると、ゲル状樹脂は樹脂流路内に流入して入れ子先端の穴183aから樹脂がキャビティ内に吐出される。入れ子先端の穴から吐出された樹脂は入れ子先端と第2の金型との間の空間Sに充満し、次いで弾性多孔質部材160を圧縮させつつ弾性多孔質部材の内壁と入れ子との間に圧入し展開して行く(図21(a)(b))。ゲル状樹脂は冷却するとケースの両端部(小孔152)及び弾性多孔質部材と一体化するため、ゲル状樹脂及び弾性多孔質部材がケースから抜け落ちることがない。
 なお、入れ子の外周面に樹脂流路183と連通する吐出口を形成して弾性多孔質部材の内面に直接ゲル状樹脂を吐出してもよい。
At the time of molding, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the one end opening 151 a of the case is seated in the recess 182 a of the end closing piece 182 of the first mold and is closed. Next, the elastic porous member 160 is fitted into the case so that the insert 185 enters the hollow portion of the elastic porous member. The elastic porous member 160 is compressed and deformed by being sandwiched between the case and the insert, and a part of the internal air is extracted. Further, the inside of the case is sealed by assembling the second mold at the upper end of the case. At this time, the inside of the case can communicate with the outside only through the resin flow path 183.
In this state, when the melted gel-like resin 75 is injected into the resin flow path 183 from the bottom hole of the end closing piece 182, the gel-like resin flows into the resin flow path and passes through the hole 183 a at the nesting tip. Resin is discharged into the cavity. The resin discharged from the hole at the tip of the nest fills the space S between the tip of the nest and the second mold, and then compresses the elastic porous member 160 between the inner wall of the elastic porous member and the nest. It press-fits and develops (FIGS. 21A and 21B). When the gel-like resin is cooled, it is integrated with both end portions (small holes 152) of the case and the elastic porous member, so that the gel-like resin and the elastic porous member do not fall out of the case.
Alternatively, a discharge port communicating with the resin flow path 183 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the nest, and the gel-like resin may be directly discharged onto the inner surface of the elastic porous member.
 ゲル状樹脂の冷却後に、図21(b)に示すように弾性多孔質部材及びゲル状樹脂が一体化されたケースから両金型を取り外し、更に図21(c)に示すようにキャップ153、ウレタン部材156、底蓋157、粘着テープ158を順次組み付けることにより精子採取器150を完成する。
 なお、製造装置180を用いて精子採取器150を製造する方法は、次の各工程から構成されている。
 即ち、精子採取器150の製造方法は、弾性多孔質部材160の中空内部に金型側の入れ子185を嵌合した状態で該金型のキャビティ内にケース151を固定する工程と、キャビティ内に溶融したゲル状樹脂75を注入する際に、弾性多孔質部材の内壁を圧縮変形させつつ溶融ゲル状樹脂を入れ子との間に圧入する工程と、キャビティ内に充填された溶融ゲル状樹脂が固化した際に、金型を開放して精子採取器を取り出す工程と、から構成されている。
 なお、上記実施形態では軸方向両端部に開口部を備えたケース151を用いたため、両開口部を閉止する手段として第1の金型と第2の金型を必要としたが、軸方向一端のみに開口部を有したケースを用いれば、第2の金型を省略できる。
After cooling the gel-like resin, both molds are removed from the case in which the elastic porous member and the gel-like resin are integrated as shown in FIG. 21 (b), and the cap 153, as shown in FIG. 21 (c). The sperm collector 150 is completed by assembling the urethane member 156, the bottom lid 157, and the adhesive tape 158 in this order.
In addition, the method of manufacturing the sperm collector 150 using the manufacturing apparatus 180 is comprised from the following each process.
That is, the manufacturing method of the sperm collector 150 includes the step of fixing the case 151 in the cavity of the mold with the insert 185 on the mold side fitted in the hollow inside of the elastic porous member 160, When the molten gel-like resin 75 is injected, the step of press-fitting the molten gel-like resin between the inserts while compressively deforming the inner wall of the elastic porous member, and the molten gel-like resin filled in the cavity are solidified. And a step of opening the mold and taking out the sperm collector.
In the above embodiment, the case 151 having openings at both axial ends is used. Therefore, the first mold and the second mold are required as means for closing both the openings. If a case having an opening only is used, the second mold can be omitted.
 また、上記実施形態では樹脂流路からゲル状樹脂を成形空間内に注入する際に弾性多孔質部材内面を押圧して圧縮変形させる例を示したが、弾性多孔質部材と対向する金型成形面との間に空隙を形成しておき、この空隙にゲル状樹脂を注入することによって弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させないようにしてもよい。
 このように本発明の製造装置、及び製造方法によれば、弾性多孔質部材をケースとコア部材との間に介在させることによって高価なゲル状樹脂の使用量を低減できる精子採取装置を一回の射出成形によって一括して製造することができる。特に、弾性多孔質部材を圧縮変形させつつ弾性多孔質部材と成形面との間に溶融ゲル状樹脂を圧入することによりゲル状樹脂層を形成するので、一括した製造が可能となる。
In the above embodiment, the example in which the inner surface of the elastic porous member is pressed and deformed by compressing the gel-like resin from the resin flow path into the molding space is shown. A space may be formed between the elastic porous member and the elastic porous member so as not to be compressed and deformed by injecting a gel-like resin into the space.
As described above, according to the manufacturing apparatus and the manufacturing method of the present invention, the sperm sampling apparatus that can reduce the amount of the expensive gel-like resin used by interposing the elastic porous member between the case and the core member once. Can be manufactured collectively by injection molding. In particular, since the gel-like resin layer is formed by pressing the molten gel-like resin between the elastic porous member and the molding surface while compressively deforming the elastic porous member, batch production is possible.
 以上の如き構成を備えた本発明の精子採取器によれば、弾性多孔質部材は、コア片を構成するゲル状樹脂材料に比して軽量であるため、精子採取器を軽量化して操作性、取扱性を高めることができ、またゲル状樹脂に比して低廉であるためコストダウンを図ることができる。
 また、本発明に係る精子採取器の製造装置、及び製造方法によれば、ケース片とゲル状樹脂製コア片(コア部材)との間に弾性多孔質部材を介在させた構造を生産性よく製造することが可能となる。
According to the sperm collector of the present invention having the above-described configuration, since the elastic porous member is lighter than the gel-like resin material constituting the core piece, the sperm collector is reduced in weight and operability. The handling property can be improved, and the cost can be reduced because it is less expensive than the gel resin.
