Abstract

For vaginal cleaning a permeable tubing, made of a fibrous web wrapped around a perforated tube, is mounted to a flexible plastic handle. This can be compressed to pump a cleaning agent through the tubing -which later on is drawn back into the handle, when the pressure on it is released.

Description

DEVICE FOR VAGINAL CLEANING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention refers to the hygienic purpose of vaginal cleaning and, more precisely, the cleaning of the inner vagina together with the sheath forecourt.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For vaginal cleaning so far mainly small shower heads and cleaning basins like Bidets are offered. However, with the latter only the range of the sheath forecourt is reached.
Instead, particularly after a phase of the rule bleeding or after sexual intercourse, the cleaning of the inner vagina may be desired .
Furthermore, in all cases a water drain is necessary with said devices. If this is not available ^ on journeys- these means may not be applied.
PRIOR ART There are a great number of propositions for preventing body fluids to drip from the vagina, like sanitary napkins and a variety of tampons are known. These might prevent unpleasant appearances, but leave the problem of internal hygiene and cleanliness unsolved .
Approaches to cleaning the vagina itself can be seen in US 5.045.058 , where some kind of lather is injected, but it remains unclear what happens with it after application . Similar with CN 25 29 651 and US 3.062.211 and other syringe-type injectors as in US 4.772.274 and US 5.401.240, where the residues of the cleaning agent obviously have to be dripped off and/or absorbed in sanitary napkins.
Moreover, swabbing or tampon-on-style type cleaners (mostly soaked with agents) have been proposed in US 3.724.463 , US 7.1 12.184 and US 3.731 .682, but not been too successful -pos- sibly due to unpleasant application.
The latter patent however, may be used in combination with a special shower head (and allows the disposal of a medical inlay), whereas quite a few vaginal showers or douches are known for vaginal cleaning, as in US 5.304.1 16, US 4.894053 , US 3.817.247 , 3.512.526 and US 10.967.353.
However, these devices always demand a toilet to be used or some kind of a drain during or after treatment. PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED
It therefore is the task of the present invention to find a cleaning means that works without water drain , but provides a similar sense of cleanliness and freshness, as with washing.
INVENTIVE STEP
The inventive step here is to apply a cleaning apparatus that is anatomically adapted to the vagina and wherein a cleaning fluid can be pumped out to moisture the cleaning surface and also be retraced , so to avoid a drain.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The task of cleaning without water installation is achieved by means of a porous cleaning web on a plastic tube, the tip covered by a soft plastic cap.
A hand guard may protect the device from undue deep insertion and contamination with body liquids. The tube leads into a handle, that forms a compressible end piece, wherein a cleaning agent can be held and pumped into the porous tubular section by pressing the handle, thus applying the cleaning agent to the vaginal surface.
When releasing the pressure, the agent is soaked back into the handle to be disposed with it. For releasing a possible adhering to the vagina from the suction, a bore in the handle, that is closed by the fingertip when pressing, may be unblocked to remove a remaining vacuum.
Head and style of this device can be connected by screwing to one another by a proper thread or by glueing or welding it together. In a preferred embodiment, said tubular style is carrying another inserted tube that can be screwed out like a lipstick, so to form a smaller, unobtrusive device.
As a further refinement in addition to cleaning agents, essential oils may be added for more agreeable exhalation, whereas also perfusion enhancing or slightly irritant substance may be administered for in- creasing libidinous climax. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION& DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 demonstrates the components of said cleaning device 1 , comprising the outer soft cap 3 , the porous round- wound card web 4 on a perforated tubular style 5 (not visible) , and a hand guard 6 to protect the device from undue deep insertion and the user from contamination with body liquids. The handle 7 contains two flexible elements 8 and 9 (the latter not visible) to be compressed and released for pumping. These comprise a ventilation hole 10 in the middle, that can be operated as non-return val ve, when closing it with the fingertip.
When pressing the flexible elements a cleaning agent within the handle 7 is pressed through the card webs 4. When releasing it with the ventilation hole 10 still closed , the resulting vacuum retraces the agent back into the reservoir for to be disposed.
Fig . 2 shows a preferred embodiment , wherein the tubular style 5 is carrying another inserted tube 1 1 that can be screwed out like a lipstick, so to form a smaller, unobtrusive device .
