Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a cleaning tool for between the toes with a protective cover, which is used for cleaning between the toes, that is, between the toes, which tends to become unclean. Regarding cleaning utensils.

Conventional techniques and issues Athlete's foot, which is common among modern people, tends to occur mainly on the feet, especially between the toes, so it is desirable to keep the area between the toes clean in order to prevent and treat athlete's foot, but the distance between the toes is narrow, Combined with the inability to move the toes, they are the most difficult part of the body to wash.

However, in the past, there was no special scrubbing tool for washing between the toes, and the current situation is that when washing between the toes, a scrubbing tool such as a sponge or a towel for ordinary body washing is used.

However, these scrubbing tools such as sponges and towels for washing the body are generally too large for washing between the toes, or lack the appropriate back strength, making it difficult to wash between the toes. difficult. It is especially difficult for the scrubbing tool to reach the area deep between the toes, that is, between the fingers.

For this reason, there has been a desire for the emergence of a scrubbing tool specifically for cleaning between the toes.

This idea was created to solve these problems and meet the needs of the general public.It is suitable for washing between the toes and comes with a protective cover that can be stored and disposed of hygienically. The present invention aims to provide a cleaning tool for cleaning between the toes.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides an embodiment in which a cleaning member made of a brush, sponge, etc. can be inserted between the toes on the circumferential surface of at least one end of a thin rod-shaped hard core. The cleaning member is attached to the cleaning member, and a protective cover that also serves as a handle is removably fitted onto the cleaning member.

Embodiments Hereinafter, this invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a thin rod-shaped hard core made of hard synthetic resin such as polypropylene or hard vinyl chloride, and the circumference extends from one end to the middle part in the length direction. Brush hair 2 on the surface
A first scrubbing member 2 consisting of a member A is attached in such a manner that it can be inserted between the toes. Further, a second scrubbing member 3 made of sponge is attached to the circumferential surface extending from the other end to the middle part in the length direction in such a manner that it can be inserted between the toes.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a pair of hard synthetic resin cap-like handle-cum-protective covers that are removably fitted onto the washing members 2 and 3, as shown in FIG. Protective cover 4,
It is formed in a size that allows the opening edges of No. 4 to come into contact with each other. In order to let the user know whether the cleaning members 2, 3 inside the protective covers 4, 4 are brushes or sponges, the protective covers 4, 4 are made of transparent hard synthetic resin. It is preferable.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a protective cover fitting protrusion provided at the center in the length direction of the hard core 1, and a protrusion 5a protruding from the circumferential surface of the protective cover fitting protrusion 5 fits into a recess provided on the inner surface of the open end of the cover. It is designed to fit into the groove 4a.

In the figure, Y indicated by a chain line is a toe.

To explain how to use the inter-toe cleaning tool of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. However, when using it, first remove the protective cover 4 of the first cleaning member 2, and then
Grip the handle-cum-portion protection cover 4 still fitted to the cleaning member 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the first cleaning member 2 is inserted between the toes so as to intersect the toes Y and Y, and in the direction orthogonal to the toes Y and Y, By sliding back and forth in the length direction, the first scrubbing member 2 made of brush bristles 2a roughly scrubs between each toe. Next, once the first cleaning member is removed from between the toes, the protective cover 4 is fitted onto the first cleaning member 2, and the first cleaning member 2 and the second cleaning member 3 are reversed. Next, remove the protective cover 4 of the second scrubbing member 3, soak the sponge of the exposed second scrubbing member 3 in detergent, and then insert the second scrubbing member 3 between the toes, toe Y, The final washing between each toe is performed by sliding the toe back and forth in the direction perpendicular to Y and in the length direction of toes Y and Y.

In the inter-toe cleaning tool with a cover of the second embodiment shown in FIG. A cleaning member 12 made of cotton is attached to the peripheral surface extending nearby. The gripping part 15 has a connecting protrusion 16 protruding from its end, and as shown by the chain line in the figure, the opening side of the protective cover 14 removed from the cleaning member 12 is used for connecting the gripping part 15. By fitting into the protrusion 16, the protective cover 14 can be used as a handle during use.

The method of using the inter-toe cleaning tool of this embodiment is to remove the protective cover 14 from the cleaning member 12 and place it on the grip part 1.
After fitting and connecting the connecting protrusion 16 of No. 6, the gripping portion 15 and the protective cover 14 as an extension of the gripping portion 15 are gripped, and the cleaning tool for between the toes is held in the same manner as in the first embodiment. , the cleaning member 12 is inserted between the toes and the areas between the toes are cleaned.

In the above embodiments, brushes, sponges, or cotton are used as materials constituting the scrubbing members 2 and 3, but nonwoven fabrics and woven fabrics may also be used in addition to these materials.

Further, when the cleaning member is composed of the first cleaning member 2 and the second cleaning member 3 as in the first embodiment,
The washing members 2 and 3 may be made of different materials or may be made of the same material, but one is made of a hard brush and non-woven fabric for rough washing, and the other is made of a hard brush and non-woven fabric. For final washing, it is preferable to use a soft material such as a soft brush, sponge, cotton, or woven fabric.

Furthermore, the cleaning members 2, 3, and 12 may be preliminarily coated with a powdered detergent or impregnated with a liquid detergent. In that case, it is desirable that the detergent contains an antibacterial agent that fights the fungus Trichophyton that causes athlete's foot.

Effects of the invention As described above, this invention is such that the cleaning member is attached to the peripheral surface of at least one end of the thin rod-shaped hard core in such a manner that it can be inserted between the toes. It is strong and allows the cleaning member to be easily inserted between the toes, and it is also possible to reliably scrub every corner between the toes, making it extremely effective in preventing or treating athlete's foot.

In addition, since the protective cover that also serves as a handle is removably fitted onto the cleaning member, when cleaning, the user can hold this protective cover that also serves as a handle while cleaning, and this cleaning between the toes The tool is easy to hold and easy to wash. In addition, there is no risk of staining or damaging the cleaning member during storage, and after cleaning, this inter-toe cleaning tool can be used with the protective cover refitted onto the cleaning member. can be disposed of and handled hygienically, and can also prevent athlete's foot infection.
