Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely and surely detach contact lens without losing it by forming an air pump on one edge of an air conducting tube, providing an attracting body at other edge, providing a mirror at the air conducting tube and while watching the mirror, aligning the contact lens mounted at eyes to the attracting body. CONSTITUTION:In order to detach a contact lens A with a contact lens detaching tool 1, while an air pump 3 is pressurized with a finger B, the attaching body 4 is made approximate and abutted to the contact lens A, then the finger B is loosened, the attracting body 4 is attracted to the contact lens A by the suction force of the air pump 3 and the lens is detached. In order to detach the contact lens A from the body 4, the lens can be easily detached when the air pump 3 is pressurized with the finger B. By providing the mirror 10 near the air pump 3 of an air conducting tube 2, the body 4 and the contact lens A can be aligned by watching the mirror 10 and it is very convenient.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a contact lens removal device for removing a contact lens that is attached to the eye and used for correcting myopia, hyperopia, etc. from the eye.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the method for removing contact lenses that have been attached to the eyes may vary depending on the type of contact lens and the individual, but in general, (a) When removing hard contact lenses,
Open the eye on the side to be removed wide, pull the outer corner of the eye outward with your fingers, and place the contact lens between the upper and lower eyelids.
How to remove it by blinking in that state.

(b) When removing soft contact lenses,
Make the eye on the side to be removed wide (open it and pinch it directly with your fingers to remove it).

It has been known.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional method described above, contact lenses are removed using fingers, regardless of the type of contact lens, which is unhygienic and may cause damage to the eyes. I was afraid.

Also, (in the case of appetizers, when you blink and remove it,
It's common for people to lose their expensive contact lenses because they bounce around.

In the case of (2), the finger was inserted directly into the eye, which often caused damage to the eye.

The present invention aims to provide a device that solves all of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional examples.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention, as a means for solving the above problem, forms an air pump at one end of the air conduction pipe, and
An adsorbent is provided at the other end.

Furthermore, if a mirror is provided in the air conduction tube, the contact lens attached to the eye can be aligned with the adsorbent body while looking at the mirror, making it easier to remove the contact lens.

(Function) According to the present invention having the above configuration, the air pump is pressed with fingers to discharge the air inside the air pump to the outside of the adsorbent body through the air conduction pipe, and the inside of the air pump is brought into a negative pressure state. (See Figure 3).

In this negative pressure state, when the suction body is brought close to or in contact with the contact lens to be removed and the pressure of the air pump is stopped and the contact lens is loosened, the contact lens will be suctioned by the suction force (restoring force) of the air pump. It is naturally absorbed by the body.

In this way, the contact lenses can be easily removed reliably and hygienically without touching the eyes with fingers.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

+1) is a contact lens removal device, and this contact lens removal device (1) forms an air pump (3) at one end of an air conduction tube (2) having an air passage (2a), and forms an air pump (3) at the other end. An adsorbent (4) is provided.

The air pump (3) is a dropper-shaped one, but a bellows pump may also be used (the air pump (3) uses its suction force to move the adsorbent (4) to the contact lens attached to the eye (C). Anything can be used as long as it can be adsorbed to (A).

The adsorbent (4) is formed in the shape of a suction cup with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the contact lens (A), and is made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft plastic, but its shape and material can be changed as appropriate. be.

The material of the air conduit (2) may be the same as that of the air pump (3) or the adsorbent (4), or may be any other material. Further, the air conduction tube (powder) does not need to be linear as shown in the figure, but can be bent into a dogleg shape or other convenient shape, and can be shaped as appropriate.

Air pump (3), air conduit tube mill) and adsorbent (4)
can be integrally formed by plastic molding or the like, but two or more of these three can also be configured to be detachable. In other words, the air pump (3), the air conduction tube (2), the air conduction tube (the adsorbent (4), the air pump (3) and the air conduction tube), and the adsorption body (4) can be made detachable.

the air pump (3) and the air conduit) and the adsorbent (
As for the attachment/detachment structure for any two or more of 4), any configuration such as a screwing method, a fitting method, etc. can be adopted.

In this way, the air pump (3) and the air conduction pipe (2)
and adsorbent (4), if any two or more of them are detachable, they can be replaced in the event that any component is damaged, making it economical. It has the advantage of being able to sterilize every nook and cranny and store it hygienically.

What is shown in FIG. 4 is a modification of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and this embodiment has a mirror (2) near the air pump (3) of the air conduit (2) in the previous embodiment. It was established.

According to such a configuration, looking at this mirror αe, the adsorbent (4
) and the contact lens (A), which is very convenient.

As shown in FIG. 3, in order to remove the contact lens (A) using the contact lens removal tool (1), while pressing the air pump (3) with your finger (B), move the adsorbent (4) onto the contact lens. At that time, loosen your fingers (B) and use the suction force of the air pump to attract the adsorbent (4) to the contact lens (^) and remove it. From contact lenses (
To remove A), remove the air pump (3) with your finger (B).
It can be easily removed by pressing it.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, an air pump is formed at one end of the air conduction tube, and an adsorbent is provided at the other end, so that when removing a contact lens attached to the eye, As mentioned above, you can simply press the air pump and use the conventional method (without touching your eyes with your fingers). Can be removed.

Incidentally, if the configuration as described in claim (2) is adopted, the effects as described above will be produced.
