A tubular expandable bellows body A having an air hole 1, and a funnel-shaped attachment B detachably attached to one end of the bellows body and fitted into a spray pipe 6a of an asthma drug spray container 6. A tool for inhaling a sprayed asthma drug, which comprises a mouthpiece C detachably attached to the other end of the bellows body A.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for inhaling a sprayed asthma drug which is attached to an asthma drug spray container for use.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional tool of this type, there are a pear-shaped (plastic) tool 11 shown in FIG. 4 and a box-shaped (paper) tool 13 shown in FIG. When the pear-shaped tool 11 is used, the tip end fitting port 11a is fitted to the spray tube 12b of the drug container 12, the head 12a of the container 12 is pushed to spray the drug, and the drug is sucked from the suction port 11b. 12c is a spray port.

When the box-shaped tool 13 is used, as in the case of the pear-shaped tool 13, the spray pipe 14b of the drug container 14 is fitted with the fitting port 13a at the tip, and the head 14a of the container 14 is pushed to load the drug. It is sprayed and sucked through the suction port 13b. In addition, 14c is a spray port.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the pear type has the following drawbacks. Since the shape does not change and it cannot be made compact, it is inconvenient to carry, and if it is made compact from the beginning, the required volume of the drug solution (gas) cannot be secured. Since there is no air hole in the main body, it is difficult for the outside air to enter, and the chemical liquid that has entered the main body accumulates, making it difficult to inhale the medicine.

Since the main body cannot be used by bending it, the cold drug solution directly jumps into the oral cavity and contracts the airway (trachea). Since there is no unevenness inside the body and it is smooth, large chemical liquid particles that do not enter the bronchioles cannot stick to the inside of the body and enter the mouth. Since the injection port is fixed, it cannot be mounted on drug spray containers of different shapes and sizes.

In addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages of the pear type, the box type is made of paper and cannot be washed with water, and the number of times of use is limited. The purpose of this invention is to solve such conventional problems (deficiencies).

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The device for inhaling a sprayed asthma drug according to the present invention has a cylindrical bellows body having an air hole and a bellows body that is detachably attached to one end of the bellows body and is fitted to a spray pipe of an asthma medication spray container. It consists of a funnel-shaped attachment and a mouthpiece detachably attached to the other end of the bellows body.

[0008]

[Work]

 As described above, the bellows body, the attachment, and the mouthpiece can be detachably attached to each other so that the bellows can be disassembled and carried, so that the carrying becomes easy. Also, since the bellows body is stretchable, by adjusting the degree appropriately, it is possible to supply an appropriate amount of a drug suitable for children, adults, the elderly, symptoms, etc., and avoid inhaling excessive drug solution.

Since the bellows main body is provided with the air holes, the outside air easily enters during suction, the chemical liquid that has entered the main body does not stay, its fluidity increases, and the chemical suction effect increases. When cold drug solution is sprayed directly into the oral cavity during asthma, the hypersensitivity trachea contracts and drug solution inhalation does not work well. As a result, the drug solution will not directly drip into the oral cavity. Therefore, there is no fear of contraction of the respiratory tract (trachea), and the drug effect can be further enhanced.

Since the attachment fitted to the spray pipe of the spray container has a funnel shape, the attachment can be attached to the drug spray containers having different shapes and sizes. Also, by attaching a mouthpiece, it is possible to reliably aspirate the drug. Since the main body is jagged, large particles adhere to the irregularities and only small chemical liquid particles that reach the bronchiole enter the trachea.

By removing the bellows main body, the attachment, and the mouthpiece, they can be easily washed with water and the number of reuses increases.

【Example】

 The suction tool of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the drawings, A is a polypropylene bellows main body, B is a silicone rubber funnel-shaped attachment, and C is a polypropylene mouthpiece. . Reference numeral 1 denotes an air hole provided in the bellows main body A, which is used to suck in a part of the air from the outside when sucking a medicine described later. Reference numeral 2 is a first cylindrical portion provided at one end of the bellows body A, and an annular convex portion 2a is provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The convex portion 2a is for fitting with the annular concave portion 3 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the attachment B. Reference numeral 4 is a second cylindrical portion provided at the other end of the main body A, and a male screw 4a is provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The male screw 4a is for screwing the female screw 5 of the mouthpiece C. Reference numeral 6 is an asthma drug spray container, 6a is its spray tube, and 6b is a spray pipe for spraying the drug in the container 6. It is a protrusion for pressing. A spray nozzle 6c is provided at the tip of the spray pipe 6a.

The suction tool of the embodiment is assembled in the following manner. First, the attachment B is fitted into the first cylindrical portion 2 of the bellows body A. Next, the mouthpiece C is screwed and attached to the second cylindrical portion 4 of the main body A. When sucking the medicine, the attachment B of the tool is pressed against the spray pipe 6a of the asthma spray container 6 and fitted. In this state, the mouthpiece C is added, and the medicine is sucked while pressing the pressing protrusion 6b of the container 6.

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. By compressing the bellows body A and disassembling the attachment B and the mouthpiece C, it becomes convenient to carry. By assembling A, B, and C and expanding and contracting A, it is possible to secure the required drug solution volume according to age, symptoms, and the like.

Since the bellows main body has the air holes, the chemical solution can be sucked in together with the outside air, so that the fluidity of the chemical solution entering the inside of the main body is increased and the chemical suction is facilitated. Since the bellows body is made of polypropylene, by bending and using it, it is possible to prevent cold drug solution from directly jumping into the oral cavity and to prevent contraction of the respiratory tract (trachea).

Since the main body of the bellows is used, large particles adhere to the recesses on both inner sides, and only small chemical liquid particles that reach the bronchiole enter the trachea. With the funnel-shaped attachment made of silicone rubber, it can be attached to drug spray containers of different shapes and sizes. By removing the bellows body, attachment, and mouthpiece, you can easily wash them with water and reuse them more often.
