Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable ear wax to be taken out with safety by setting a stopper section to be butted to the periphery of the inlet of an ear, when a scooping section is inserted into an external ear section at a position with a space from the scooping section. CONSTITUTION:On the tip section of the shank 1 of plastics, the bearing bar 2 of plastics is fitted to be inserted into and is projected, and at the tip of the bearing bar 2, a scooping section 3 is formed. Besides, at the tip section of the shank 1, a stopper section 4 is fitted on the outer periphery of the bearing bar 2 and is set in the shape of a collar. When the scooping section 3 is inserted through an external ear line 11 on an earpick, then the stopper 4 is butted to the periphery of the inlet 11a of the ear line 11, and so the scooping section 3 cannot be inserted through the ear line 11 adsolutely longer than a fixed depth. Accordingly, for example, even if a little child moves suddenly when a mother scoops the ear wax of the child, the earpick is of great safety. Besides, even if a hand holding the earpick is carelessly pushed, it is safe.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] purpose of invention (Industrial application field) This invention relates specifically to ear picks for children.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] For example, when a mother is removing wax from an infant's ear, if the infant suddenly moves or the hand holding the ear hook is pressed inadvertently, The tip of the earpick went too far into the ear canal, which was very dangerous. For this reason, people try to prevent this by placing the fingers holding the earpicks against their ears, but the earpicks may slip against the fingers, so there is still a risk.

An object of the present invention is to provide an earpick that can prevent such dangers and safely remove earwax.

Structure of the Invention [Means for Solving the Problem 1 To achieve this object, the earpick of the present invention is provided at a position spaced apart from the rake portion 3 formed at the tip, as shown in the drawings of the embodiment described later. The scoop part 3 is connected to the external auditory canal 11.
A stopper part 4 corresponding to the periphery of the tooth 11a inserted into the blade is provided, and this stopper part 4 may be formed of a material that can be seen through.

[Function] In this ear cleaning, when the scoop part 3 is inserted into the ear canal 11, the stopper part 4 hits the periphery of the entrance 11a, and the scoop part 3 does not enter the ear canal 11 beyond a certain level.

Moreover, if the stopper part 4 is made transparent, even if the entrance 11a of the external auditory canal 11 is hidden by the stopper part 4, the population 11a can be seen from the outside.

[Actually Overwhelming] First, a first embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in an ear pick for children will be described with reference to FIG.

A support rod 2 made of plastic is inserted into the tip of the grip handle 1 made of plastic and protrudes, and a rake portion 3 is formed at the tip of the support rod 2.

A stopper part 4 is fitted on the outer periphery of the support rod 2 and protrudes from the tip of the gripping handle 1 in the shape of a flange. This stopper part 4 is made of transparent plastic, and the scoop part 3 is
can be seen through the slot 1 to the collar 4.

The distance from the scoop part 3 to the stopper part 4 can be determined depending on the age of the child.

Note that the grip handle 1, support rod 2, and stopper portion 4 may be integrally molded from plastic, or may be formed from other materials.

In the earpick configured in this way, when the scoop part 3 is inserted into the ear canal 11, the stopper part 4 hits the periphery of the ear canal 11a, so the scoop part 3 never enters the ear canal 11 beyond a certain level.

Therefore, for example, it is very safe even if the infant suddenly falls asleep while the mother is removing wax from the infant's ear. Also, it is extremely safe even if the hand holding the earpick is accidentally pushed.

Furthermore, since the brim-shaped stopper part 4 is transparent, even if the entrance 11a of the external auditory canal 11 is hidden by the stopper part 4, the artificial body 11a can be seen from the outside, making it easier to use.

Next, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the shape of the stopper part 4 is changed from the first embodiment.
performs the same function as the first embodiment.

In both embodiments, the stopper portion 4 is provided protruding from the entire outer periphery of the tip portion of the gripping handle 1, but it may be provided to protrude partially.

Further, the distance from the scoop portion 3 to the stopper portion 4 may be adjustable.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, since the earpick has the stopper part 4, for example, when the mother is removing earwax from the infant, the infant suddenly moves or the hand holding the earpick is accidentally pressed. Even if you do, it is very safe.

Moreover, since the entrance 11a of the external auditory canal 11 can be seen from the outside via the stopper part 4, it becomes easier to use.
