Patent document 2: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2015-112317

In the conventional semen collection device and the like, the user grips the housing accommodating the built-in member during use to adjust the binding force to such an extent that the binding force is transmitted by a buffer material such as a sponge interposed between the built-in member and the housing, and thus the adjustment of the binding force as the semen collection device is substantially impossible.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a semen collection implement capable of adjusting a binding force during use and having good operability of the adjustment.

In order to solve the problems, the semen collector of the present invention comprises: a housing having an opening portion opened at both ends in a longitudinal direction and formed in a cylindrical shape that can be held by a hand; a detachable cover body that opens and closes one opening of the housing; a rotating handle portion mounted to close the other opening of the housing and capable of rotating around the axial direction of the housing; and a tubular built-in component which is accommodated in an accommodating portion formed in the housing, wherein an insertion opening is disposed in the one opening portion, and an insertion portion having a space extending from the insertion opening to the inside is formed, wherein the rotary handle portion and a portion of the built-in component opposite to the insertion opening when viewed in the longitudinal direction are fixedly integrated, and the built-in component and the insertion portion are twisted in the same direction as the rotation direction of the rotary handle portion by rotation of the rotary handle portion.

In the semen collection device according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described invention, the other opening of the casing and the opening of the rotating handle portion are formed in a zigzag shape at their contact portions, and the rotating handle portion is attached to the casing so that both zigzag shapes are engaged with each other.

In the semen collection device according to the present invention, the rotatable handle portion and the internal component are fixed and integrated by forming at least one rod-shaped connection body extending toward the inside of the casing inside the rotatable handle portion and inserting the connection body into at least one fixing hole formed in a portion of the internal component opposite to the insertion port.

In the semen collection implement according to the present invention, the insertion port is formed in a substantially central portion of one end of the built-in member in the longitudinal direction, and the built-in member is accommodated in the casing in a state where the flange is exposed from one opening of the casing.

On the basis of the semen collector, the built-in part is not fixed on the inner wall surface of the shell.

In the semen collection device according to the present invention, the slit extending in the longitudinal direction is formed on the outer surface of the built-in member.

In the semen collection device according to the present invention, the rotating handle portion integrated with the built-in member is rotatable about the axial direction, and the built-in member and the insertion portion are twisted in the same direction as the rotation of the housing by the rotation of the rotating handle portion, so that the binding force of the insertion portion can be adjusted easily by increasing the binding force and the like as compared with the normal state. Further, the adjustment operation is also a simple operation of rotating the rotating handle portion about the axial direction, and therefore, the operability is also good.

Detailed Description

An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(I) Basic construction of the semen collector 1:

fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a semen collection implement 1 according to the present invention, fig. 2 is a view showing a state in which a lid body 3, a housing 2, and a rotary handle portion 4 are divided in a longitudinal direction in fig. 1 and the inside of the housing 2 and the like is shown, and fig. 3 is a view showing a state in which an internal member 5 is divided in a longitudinal direction in fig. 2 and the inside of the internal member 5 is shown. In fig. 1 and the like, "1" indicates a semen collection implement, "2" indicates a casing, "21" indicates one opening, "22" indicates the other opening, "26" indicates an accommodating portion, "3" indicates a cover, "4" indicates a turning handle portion, "41" indicates a connecting body, "5" indicates an internal component, "51" indicates an insertion opening, "52" indicates an insertion portion, "53" indicates a handle connecting portion, "54" indicates a fixed hole, "55" indicates a slit, and "7" indicates a flange.

The semen collection device 1 of the present embodiment can be used as a device (sperm collection device) for collecting sperm (semen), and as shown in fig. 1 to 3, includes as a basic structure: a housing 2 formed with openings (one opening 21 and the other opening 22) that are open at both ends in a longitudinal direction (see fig. 1 and the like; the same applies to the "longitudinal direction" hereinafter), and formed in a tubular shape that can be held by hand; a detachable lid 3 that opens and closes one opening 21 of the housing 2; a rotary handle 4 attached to close the other opening 22 of the housing 2 and rotatable about the axial direction of the housing 2; and a cylindrical built-in member 5 which is housed in a housing portion 26 formed inside the housing 2, wherein an insertion opening 51 is disposed in one opening 21, and an insertion portion 52 is formed, and the insertion portion 52 has a space extending from the insertion opening 51 to the inside.

(II) case 2:

in the semen collection implement 1, the casing 2 is a cylindrical body, has a housing portion 26 serving as a space for housing the built-in member 5 therein, and has both ends in the longitudinal direction opened (one opening 21 and the other opening 22). In the present invention, the concept of "opening" includes an opening and a peripheral edge of a space of the opening and its vicinity, which is a portion of each member (the housing 2, the lid 3, and the rotating handle 4) where the opening is formed. In particular, in the relationship between the other opening 22 of the housing 2 and the opening 42 of the rotary handle 4, the opening includes a step portion 22a (see fig. 7 and the like described later) and a step portion 42a (see fig. 8 and the like described later) each formed of a plurality of steps, and the step portions 22a and the step portions 42a are present at the peripheral edge (the peripheral edge of the other opening 22 of the housing 2 is referred to as a peripheral edge 22r in fig. 7 described later, and the peripheral edge of the space portion 42 of the rotary handle 4 is referred to as a peripheral edge 42r in fig. 8 described later) and in the vicinity thereof, and serve as a contact portion between (the opening 22 of) the housing 2 and (the opening 42 of) the rotary handle 4.

One opening 21 of the housing 2 is opened and closed by a lid 3 detachably formed in the housing 2. Fig. 1 to 3 show a state in which the opening 21 of the case 2 is closed by the lid 3. A rotary handle 4 is attached to the other opening 22 of the housing 2, and the rotary handle 4 is attached to the other opening 22 so as to be rotatable about the axial direction of the housing 2 while closing the other opening 22.

The shape of the housing 2 is not particularly limited as long as it is a tubular shape that can be gripped by a hand of a user or the like, not shown, and in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and the like, a mountain-shaped small diameter portion 23 that is gentle in plan view is formed at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction, and two

large diameter portions

24, 25 having a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 23 are formed with the small diameter portion 23 interposed therebetween, and the two

large diameter portions

24, 25 are formed symmetrically with respect to the center of the small diameter portion 23. Since the user can grip the boundary B between the

large diameter portions

24 and 25 and the small diameter portion 23 with the thumb and the index finger of the hand, the shape of the housing 2 is a shape that is easy for the user to grip.

In the present invention, the rotary handle 4 (and the cover 3) are rotated about the axial direction of the housing 2 (see fig. 1 and the like, and the same applies to the "axial direction" hereinafter, and the rotational directions of the rotary handle 4 and the cover 3 are indicated by broken-line arrows in fig. 1), but the axial direction of the housing 2 and the like is common to the axial direction of the insertion portion 52 of the built-in member 5, including the case where the built-in member 5 is housed in the housing 2. Therefore, the housing 2 is rotated around the axial direction of the housing 2, and the inner 5 is rotated around the axial direction.

(III) cover 3:

the opening and closing of the lid 3 and the lid 3 to the one opening 21 of the case 2 will be described. Fig. 4 is a view showing a state where the lid 3 is displaced downward and removed in fig. 3, and fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the inside of the lid 3.

In the present embodiment, the lid 3 is a member formed as an opening (having an opening 32) in a cup shape (bowl shape), and as shown in fig. 5 and the like, the lid includes a circular top surface portion 31 corresponding to the circular opening 21 of the housing 2 and a side surface portion 33 formed to extend outward from the top surface portion 31, and the opening 32 is formed by the continuous side surface portion 33.

When the lid 3 is attached to the opening 21 of the housing 2, the side surface portions 33 of the lid 3 are connected along the large diameter portion 25 of the housing 2 so as not to feel a step, and maintain a shape that is easy for a user to grasp.

Preferably, the lid 3 is openable and closable by being rotated about the axial direction of the housing 2. This enables the lid 3 to be easily attached to and detached from the housing 2.

As a means for opening and closing the opening 21 of the housing 2 by the lid 3, for example, a screw thread, not shown, which is capable of screwing, may be formed on the inside of the side surface portion 33 of the lid 3 and the outside of one opening 21 of the housing 2, respectively, and the lid 3 and the opening 21 of the housing 2 may be screwed to open and close.

A projection 34 is formed inside a peripheral edge 32r of the opening 32 of the lid 3 shown in fig. 5, and in order to open and close the one opening 21 of the housing 2 by the lid 3, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, a projection accommodating portion 27 (see fig. 7 described later) formed in a concave shape capable of accommodating the projection 34 is formed outside the one opening 21, and the operation is performed as follows.

That is, in order to close one opening 21 by the lid 3, the lid 3 can be fixed to the opening 21 and the opening 21 can be closed by placing the projection 34 in the projection accommodating portion 27 of the housing 2, slightly rotating the lid 3 about the axial direction of the housing 2, and moving the projection 34 along the projection accommodating portion 27.

On the other hand, by slightly rotating the lid body 3 in the direction opposite to the above-described direction from this state and separating the convex portion 34 from the convex portion housing portion 27, the lid body 3 can be removed from the opening portion 21 of the housing 2, and a state in which one opening portion 21 is opened can be achieved.

In this manner, by attaching the lid 3 to one opening 21 of the casing 2 of the semen collection implement 1 or removing the lid 3, the one opening 21 can be opened and closed by the lid 3.

(IV) turning the handle portion 4, etc.:

the turning (twisting) of the turning handle portion 4 and the built-in member 5 by the turning handle portion 4 will be described. Fig. 6 is a view showing a state in which the rotary handle 4 is displaced upward in fig. 3, fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the rotary handle 4 and the cover 3 are removed in fig. 6, fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the inside of the rotary handle 4, and fig. 9 is a schematic view showing a state in which the rotary handle 4 and the housing 2 are attached (a state in which the rotary handle 4 is slightly displaced upward).

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, 6, 9, and the like, a cup-shaped (bowl-shaped) rotary handle 4 is attached to the other opening 22 of the casing 2 of the semen collection implement 1 so as to close the other opening 22, and the rotary handle 4 is rotatable about the axial direction of the casing 2. In the semen collection device 1, the rotatable handle portion 4 and the built-in member 5 (the detailed structure of the built-in member 5 will be described later) are fixedly integrated with each other, and the rotatable handle portion 4 and the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in member 5 are fixed to each other, and the handle connecting portion 53 is a portion of the built-in member 5 on the side opposite to the insertion port 51 (the other side of the opening 22, the side facing the rotatable handle portion 4) when viewed in the longitudinal direction.

A rod-shaped connecting body 41 is formed inside the cup-shaped rotary handle portion 4. When the swing handle portion 4 is attached to the other opening 22 of the housing 2, the connecting body 41 is located at a position extending toward the inside of the housing 2. In the present embodiment, one rod-shaped connecting body 41 is disposed at each of symmetrical positions inside the cup-shaped rotating handle portion 4, and a total of two rod-shaped connecting bodies 41 are disposed.

The fixing hole 54 is formed in a handle connecting portion 53, which is a portion of the built-in component 5 opposite to the insertion port 51, and the rod-shaped connecting body 41 is inserted into the fixing hole 54, whereby the handle portion 4 and the portion (the handle connecting portion 53) of the built-in component 5 are fixed and integrated by rotation.

In the present embodiment, the handle connecting portion 53 is formed with one fixing hole 54 corresponding to the position where the connecting body 41 is disposed, and two fixing holes are formed in total. In the present embodiment, the fixed integration of the swing handle 4 and the built-in member 5 is achieved by the above-described structure, and the swing handle 4 and the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in member 5 can be fixed and integrated simply and reliably with a simple structure.

In the state where the rotary handle 4 and the built-in member 5 are integrated as described above, the rotary handle 4 is rotated about the axial direction of the housing 2 (built-in member 5), whereby the built-in member 5 housed in the housing 2 is rotated and twisted in the same direction as the rotation of the rotary handle 4 about the axial direction of the housing 2 (axial direction of the insertion portion 52 of the built-in member 5) in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary handle 4.

The insertion portion 52 formed inside the built-in member 5 is also twisted by the twisting, and the binding force can be increased as compared with a state in which the rotating handle portion 4 is not rotated (hereinafter, may be referred to as a "normal state").

In this way, the adjustment of the binding force is performed by rotating the cup-shaped rotary handle 4 attached to the other opening 22 of the housing 2 about the axial direction of the housing 2.

As shown in fig. 6 to 9, in the case 2 of the present embodiment, a step portion (a step portion 22a formed in the other opening portion 22 and a step portion 42a formed in the opening portion 42) is formed by a plurality of steps as a contact portion between the other opening portion 22 and the opening portion 42 of the rotary handle portion 4, and the rotary handle portion 4 is attached to (the other opening portion 22 of) the case 2 in a state where the rotary handle portion 4 can be rotated by fitting the fitting portion 22b formed in the step portion 22a of the other opening portion 22 of the case 2 into the fitting portion 42b formed in the step portion 42a of the opening portion 42 of the rotary handle portion 4 (fitting the fitting portion 22b into the inside of the fitting portion 42 b).

As shown in fig. 6 to 9, the other opening 22 of the housing 2 and the stepped

portions

22a and 42a of the opening 42 of the rotating handle 4 in the present embodiment are formed with a zigzag shape Z. In the present embodiment, the stepped portion 22a of the opening 22 of the other side of the housing 2 and the stepped portion 42a of the opening 42 of the swing handle 4 are each formed with a saw-tooth shape Z over one circumference.

Fig. 10 is a schematic view showing an example of engagement of two zigzag shapes Z. As shown in fig. 6 to 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the two zigzag shapes Z are engaged with each other, and the rotary handle portion 4 is attached to the other opening 22 of the housing 2. In this way, in the state where the zigzag shape Z of the

step portions

22a and 42a, which are the contact portions of the case 2 and the rotary handle portion 4, are engaged, the rotary handle portion 4 is rotated to engage with each other, and therefore, the bound state can be reliably fixed, and the operation of further strengthening the binding or the operation of alleviating the binding can be smoothly and reliably fixed along the zigzag shape Z.

In the sawtooth shape Z shown in fig. 10, in order to smoothly perform operations such as further rotation from a state where two sawtooth shapes Z are engaged with each other, it is preferable that the sawtooth shape Z formed in the step portion 22a is common to the sawtooth shape Z formed in the step portion 42 a. Preferably, the mountain shape and the valley shape of the zigzag shape Z are common, and fig. 10 and the like show a substantially trapezoidal form in which the top of a substantially isosceles triangle is flattened.

The housing 2, the lid 3, and the rotary handle 4 described above may be made of, for example, conventionally known synthetic resin or metal material, and are preferably made of synthetic resin from the viewpoint of light weight, workability, cost, and the like.

(V) built-in component 5:

next, the built-in member 5 housed in the housing portion 26 as the internal space of the housing 2 will be described. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the built-in part 5, and fig. 12 is a view showing the built-in part 5 viewed from a direction having the insertion port 51.

The built-in member 5 constituting the semen collection implement 1 of the present embodiment and serving as a so-called core member is a cylindrical member, and is housed in a housing portion 26, which is a space formed inside the casing 2, and has one end disposed in one opening 21 of the casing 2 and the other end disposed in the other opening 22.

A disk-shaped flange 7 is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction of the built-in member 5 (the end located on the side of one opening 21 of the housing 2), and as shown in fig. 12 and the like, an insertion opening 51 is formed at substantially the center of the flange 7. The built-in component 5 has an insertion portion 52 formed therein and connected to the insertion port 51.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and the like, the built-in member 5 includes: a main body part 6 formed with an insertion part 52 having an internal space; a disc-shaped flange 7 formed at one end of the body 6; and a handle connecting portion 53 formed at the other end of the main body portion 6 and serving as a portion opposite to the insertion port 51. The main body portion 6, the flange 7, and the handle connecting portion 53 are formed integrally.

The built-in member 5 has the flange 7 and the handle connecting portion 53 disposed at both ends of the main body portion 6 formed in a shape matching the shape of the housing portion 26 of the housing 2, and in the present embodiment, a plurality of slits 55 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed in the outer surface of the main body portion 6 (all the slits are not denoted by the reference numeral "55" in the drawings).

The built-in member 5 of the present embodiment can provide flexibility to the built-in member 5 by forming the slit 55 on the outer surface, and can easily twist the built-in member 5 in the rotational direction when the rotating handle 4 is rotated about the axial direction of the housing 2 or the built-in member 5, and can easily transmit the binding force to the insertion portion 52 formed in the built-in member 5. In addition, the slit 55 is formed to reduce the amount of resin constituting the built-in member 5.

In general, in many cases, the housing portion 26, which is a space formed between the housings 2, is filled with an unillustrated inclusion (cushion material) represented by a sponge or the like in a gap between the housing 2 and the built-in member 5. On the other hand, as described above, in order to smoothly twist the built-in member 5 or the insertion portion 52 by the rotation of the rotary handle portion 4, and in order to reduce the feeling of pressure, it is preferable that no foreign matter be present, and in order to reduce the feeling of pressure, the plurality of slits are formed in the body portion 6 of the built-in member 5 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction.

The shape and number of the slits 55 are not particularly limited, and may be a desired shape and number (a plurality in the present embodiment).

In order to twist the built-in member 5 and the internal insertion portion 52 accommodated in the accommodating portion 26, which is an internal space of the housing 2, in conjunction with the rotation by rotating the rotary handle portion 4 about the axial direction of the housing 2, it is preferable that the internal wall surface of the housing 2 is not fixed to the built-in member 5, as described above.

Here, when the inner wall surface of the housing 2 and the built-in member 5 are fixed, even if the rotating handle 4 is rotated, the built-in member 5 is difficult to operate in conjunction with the rotation, and therefore, the rotation (twisting) of the built-in member 5 may not be smoothly performed, and it may be difficult to obtain a desired binding force.

In the present embodiment, the built-in member 5 includes a disk-shaped flange 7 having an insertion port 51 formed substantially at the center thereof. In order to accommodate the built-in component 5 in the housing 2, the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in component 5 is inserted from the one opening portion 21 of the housing 2 to accommodate the body portion 6, and then the built-in component 5 is accommodated in the housing 2 so that the flange 7 is in a state of being exposed to the outside from the one opening portion 21 of the housing 2 (the flange 7 is not put into the inside of the housing 2 (the accommodating portion 26), but the flange 7 is protruded to the outside from the one opening portion 21 of the housing 2). When the built-in component 5 is accommodated in the housing 2 in this manner, the built-in component 5 is accommodated in the housing 2 without any fixation to the inner wall surface of the housing 2.

As shown in fig. 3, 4, 6, and the like, the insertion portion 52 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the built-in component 5 so as to be connected from the insertion port 51 formed at the substantially center of the flange 7, and the protrusion S is formed on the inner wall of the insertion portion 52.

Examples of the shape of the projections S include projections, a wrinkle shape, a wart (pimple) shape, and a wave shape, and these projections S can be formed in a predetermined arrangement. Fig. 3 and the like show a mode in which a wart (pimple) shape or the like is formed as an example of the protrusion S in a predetermined arrangement.

Preferably, the protrusion S is formed in a shape and a disposition different from each other near the insertion opening 51 and near the substantial center of the insertion portion 52. In this way, different kinds of touch can be given to different portions.

As the material constituting the built-in member 5 including the flange 7, a material having appropriate elasticity, stretchability, and flexibility is preferably used, and for example, a gel-like resin material such as various elastomers (styrene-based elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, and the like), a gel-like rubber, various rubber materials, a silicone-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, and the like are preferably used.

(VI) methods of use of the semen harvester 1, etc.:

an example of a method of using the semen collection implement 1 according to the present embodiment will be described below. First, the lid body 3 of the casing 2 of the semen collection container 1 is removed, and one opening 21 of the casing 2 is opened. In this case, it is preferable that a lubricant (emulsion) (not shown) is injected and applied from the insertion port 51 of the built-in member 5 which is in an open state of the opening 21, and the insertion portion 52 of the built-in member 5 is filled with the lubricant.

In the case where the lubricant is used as described above, when the semen collector 1 of the present invention is used as a sperm (semen) collector (sperm collecting device) that collects sperm (semen), it is preferable to use a lubricant that does not contain a spermicide but uses only lubrication as a main purpose.

Further, the user grips the casing 2 of the semen collection device 1, and transmits the binding force from the built-in member 5 through the space of the housing portion 26 of the casing 2.

When the user desires to increase the binding force (strongly bind), the user can bind the object by rotating the cup-shaped rotating handle portion 4 with respect to the housing 2 to turn the insertion portion 52. The present invention can easily adjust the binding force by using the rotation of the rotary handle 4.

As described above, the binding force is adjusted by the rotation of the rotating handle portion 4. Here, in the present embodiment, since the rotary handle 4 is rotated in a state where the rotary handle 4 is engaged with the zigzag shape Z of the contact portion of the housing 2, the bound state can be reliably fixed as compared with a case where the contact portion of the rotary handle 4 and the housing 2 is flat, not engaged with the zigzag shape Z. Further, the operation of further strengthening the restraint (further rotation in the already rotated direction) or the operation of relaxing the restraint (rotation (return) in the direction opposite to the already rotated direction) can be performed relatively smoothly.

After use, a desired amount of sperm (semen) is collected from the insertion port 51, and the sperm (semen) and the like remaining in the insertion portion 52 and the like as the internal space of the built-in member 5 are washed. In addition, the lid 3 is also cleaned. The collection of the sperm (semen) may be performed by inserting a pipette or the like into the insertion port 51 and suctioning the sperm.

In addition, regarding the manufacture of the semen collection container 1, in order to assemble and manufacture the semen collection container 1 shown in fig. 1 and the like, for example, the following method can be adopted. First, with respect to the housing 2, the lid body 3, the turning handle portion 4, and the built-in member 5 formed of the above-described materials and the like, the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in member 5 is inserted from the one opening portion 21 of the housing 2, the flange 7 of the built-in member 5 is brought into a state of being exposed to the outside from the one opening portion 21 of the housing 2, and the built-in member 5 is accommodated in the housing 2.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and variations and modifications within a range that can achieve the object of the present invention are also included in the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the form in which wart (pimple) shapes or the like are formed in a predetermined arrangement has been shown and described with respect to one example of the shape of the projecting portion S formed on the inner wall of the insertion portion 52 of the built-in member 5 in fig. 3, 4, 6, and the like, but the shape of the projecting portion S may be other shapes, and a shape capable of giving a tactile sensation may be appropriately adopted.

In the above-described embodiment, the form of the housing 2 is described as a form in which the small diameter portion 23 having a gentle mountain shape in plan view is formed substantially at the center in the longitudinal direction and the two

large diameter portions

24 and 25 having a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 23 are formed with the small diameter portion 23 interposed therebetween, and the two

large diameter portions

24 and 25 are formed symmetrically with respect to the center of the small diameter portion 23, as shown in fig. 1 to 5 and the like, but the form of the housing 2 is not limited thereto, and the form and the like may be arbitrarily determined as long as it is a cylindrical shape which can be held by the hand of a user or the like.

The means for opening and closing the opening 21 of the housing 2 by the lid 3 is not particularly limited as long as the lid 3 can be physically fitted into one opening 21, for example, and the one opening 21 of the housing 2 can be opened and closed by the lid 3.

In the above-described embodiment, as a structure for fixedly integrating the rotary handle portion 4 and the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in component 5, a mode in which the rod-shaped connecting body 41 of the rotary handle portion 4 is inserted into the fixing hole 54 formed in the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in component 5 is exemplified, but the above-described mode is an example, and as a means for fixedly integrating the rotary handle portion 4 and the handle connecting portion 53 of the built-in component 5, other structures may be used. The number of connecting bodies 41 (two in the above-described embodiment) and the number of fixing holes 54 (two in the above-described embodiment) are examples, and the desired number and number may be determined as appropriate.

In the above-described embodiment, the use method of injecting the lubricant into the insertion portion 52 of the built-in member 5 at the time of use is described as an example, but the semen collection implement 1 of the present invention may be distributed by closing the lid body 3 and sealing it in a state where the lubricant is injected into the insertion portion 52 or the like in advance. In this case, it is preferable to prevent leakage of the lubricant during circulation or the like by placing a substantially circular plate-like member made of a sponge or the like, not shown, which can be easily removed during use, in the insertion opening 51, or by providing a plug or the like, not shown, which can be easily removed during use, in the insertion opening 51.

The lubricant may be attached to the semen collection container 1 in a state of being put in another container not shown, and for example, the container not shown containing the lubricant may be detachably attached to the inside of the lid body 3, and the like, and attached to the semen collection container 1.
