[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a cleaning device that uses steam, and more specifically, to a cleaning device that cleans the eyes by applying steam to the eyes. To things.

It is suitable for use.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, steam cleaners have been used that heat water with a heater to generate steam, and use the steam to clean the face, throat, etc.

On the other hand, hay fever caused by cedar pollen is accompanied by bothersome symptoms such as itchy and watery eyes.
To treat, prevent, or alleviate symptoms, drugs are used, eyes are washed with water, etc.

Washing is preferable because it can prevent and alleviate the symptoms of hay fever, such as itching and swelling of the eyes. However, it is not sanitary if germs or the like are attached to the hands when washing with water. In addition, cleaning the eyes is troublesome, and moreover, it is often not possible to clean the eyes in detail, so that a sufficient effect cannot be obtained.

A device that could solve these problems was developed in 1983.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

In the cleaning device proposed in the above-mentioned publication, for example, when used while being placed on a table or the like, the surface that is applied to the face of the person cleaning the device is arranged horizontally. Therefore, the person washing the eyes, nose, etc. cannot wash the eyes or nose unless the person tilts the upper body until the face becomes horizontal. For this reason, for example, overweight people are forced to take a very uncomfortable posture, which poses a problem in terms of ease of use.

Further, the steam temperature in the cleaning area needs to be adjusted to an optimal temperature, for example, 42 degrees to 43 degrees. However, since the conventional washer was not particularly provided with a means for adjusting the temperature, for example, if there were fluctuations in room temperature, etc., it was sometimes impossible to wash at the optimum temperature.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to enable the cleaner to use the cleaner in a comfortable position and to clean with the optimum steam temperature.

The cleaning device main body is formed into a box shape as a whole, and an inclined surface is formed in the part where the front surface and the top surface are connected, and the steam nozzles 3, 5 and the frame parts 4, 6 are placed on the inclined surface. This eye steam cleaning device is characterized in that the steam nozzles 3 and 5 are arranged so that their lengths can be changed.

[Effect]

Since the present invention is comprised of the above-mentioned technical means, the cleaner can simply place his/her eyes or nose on the frames 4, 6 and use the steam sent from the steam nozzles 3, 5 to easily clean the eyes. Since hands are not used at this time, the eyes and nose can be washed hygienically. In particular, by using steam to clean the eyes, it is possible to clean every corner of the eyes, and the heat of the steam allows for better cleaning, which helps prevent and alleviate the symptoms of hay fever. be carried out effectively.

In addition, steam nozzles 3, 5 and frames 4, 6
etc. are provided on the sloping surface, so the person cleaning can now place their face on the frames 4 and 6 without tilting their upper body too much, making it possible to wash in a comfortable posture. Become. Furthermore, since the lengths of the steam nozzles 3 and 5 are variable, it is possible to optimally adjust the steam supply temperature.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the eye steam cleaning device of this embodiment includes a water tank 1, a heater section 2, and an eye for applying the steam generated by the heater section 2 to the eyes. It consists of a steam nozzle 3.

The steam cleaner of this embodiment has a box-like shape as a whole, and an inclined surface is formed in the part that connects the front surface and the top surface, that is, the upper part of the front side.
A steam nozzle 3 is arranged here. The inclined surface is formed, for example, at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the front surface.

The eye steam nozzle 3 is formed by slidably fitting an inner tube 10 and an outer tube 11, and its length can be changed. This makes it possible to vary the length of the steam supply path, making it possible to optimally adjust the steam temperature in the cleaning area.

At the tip of the steam nozzle 3, an eye frame 4 for placing eyes is provided.

Further, below the eye steam nozzle 3,
A nasal steam nozzle 5 for applying steam to the nose is provided. The nasal steam nozzle 5, like the eye steam nozzle 3, is formed so that its length can be changed, and a nasal frame 6 for applying the nose is disposed at the tip thereof. .

The steam sent to the eye steam nozzle 3 and the nasal steam nozzle 5 is controlled by a changeover switch 7.
This allows the steam to be selectively sent to each or both of the eye steam nozzle 3 and the nasal steam nozzle 5, and the strength of the steam can be adjusted using the steam adjustment knob 8. It's summery. Note that the main switch 9 is used to start and stop the steam cleaning device.

Next, an example of use of the eye steam cleaning device of this embodiment will be explained.
