Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a device for sucking and removing foreign matter in the mouth using a household vacuum cleaner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Older people may have less ability to swallow and may have rice cakes clogged in their throats. In addition, bedridden elderly people tend to produce sputum and may clog the throat with sputum. In particular, it is not possible to equip hospitals with expensive oral foreign body removers, especially when they are nursing at home. Infants who can put anything into their mouths may swallow their foreign bodies and clog their throats. However, if they cannot easily exhale, they cannot breathe and may be in a serious condition.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention eliminates the above problems and provides a foreign matter remover that can safely remove foreign matter in the mouth using a vacuum cleaner in any home.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the foreign matter remover according to the first aspect of the present invention, two pipes are inserted through the lid of a container for containing a liquid, and a tube is connected to an upper portion of one of the pipes. An adapter to be connected to a suction port of the vacuum cleaner is connected, and a catheter is connected to an upper portion of the other pipe.

A foreign matter remover according to a second aspect is characterized in that the pipe and the tube are formed integrally, and the pipe and the catheter are formed integrally. Further, the foreign matter remover according to claim 3 is characterized in that a flow rate adjusting valve is provided on a catheter or a tube to adjust a suction amount.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a foreign matter remover, which is provided with a collecting container 3 in a case 2 and about half of an alcohol solution 4 for disinfection is put in the collecting container 3. Two pipes 6A and 6B having different lengths are inserted into the upper portion of the collection container 3 through the lid 5 vertically. One end of a tube 7 is connected to the upper part of one short pipe 6A, and an adapter 8 is connected to the other end. The adapter 8 has a cylindrical shape with one end largely open, and is connected to a suction port 10 of a household vacuum cleaner 9.

The lower end of a long pipe 6B penetrating the lid 5 of the collection container 3 is immersed in the alcohol solution 4, and a catheter 11 is connected to the upper part of the pipe 6B. A case cover 13 is attached to the case 2 so as to be openable and closable, and a container 14 is provided beside the collecting container 3 of the case 2, and an alcohol solution 4 for disinfection is put in the container 14. A storage unit 15 for storing a spare catheter 11 is provided beside the collection container 3. Further, a suction plate 18 is set on the bottom lid 16 of the storage section 15.

For example, when a bedridden elderly person clogs the throat with sputum, the distal end side of the catheter 11 is first immersed in an alcoholic solution 4 for disinfection contained in a container 14 for disinfection. Thereafter, when the vacuum cleaner 9 used at home is switched on, air is sucked from the suction port 10 and the catheter 11 connected thereto is inserted into the old man's throat and accumulated in the throat. Sputum is sucked from the tip of the catheter 11. The sucked sputum is collected from the catheter 11 through the pipe 6B into the alcohol solution 4 for disinfection, and only air bubbles rise.

The sucked air is sucked from the suction port 10 of the vacuum cleaner 9 through the tube 7 from the pipe 6 A and discharged to the outside. In this case, since the soft and flexible catheter 11 is inserted, it can be inserted deeply and safely without damaging the mouth. After the suction of the sputum is completed, the distal end side of the catheter 11 is immersed in the alcohol solution 4 contained in the container 14 to disinfect it, and then the case cover 13 is closed and stored.

[0010] As described above, since the vacuum cleaner 9 used at home can be used, it is possible to quickly perform treatment in the home, and furthermore, the structure of the device is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. be able to. Since the sputum collected in the collection container 3 is sterilized by the alcohol solution 4 for disinfection, it may be discarded when it becomes dirty.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a flow control valve 17 is mounted in the middle of the catheter 11, and by adjusting the flow control valve 17, when a child swallows a foreign substance and clogs the throat, etc. In addition, the suction strength can be adjusted at hand by narrowing the suction amount according to the infant. In an emergency, the collection container 3 may be used without putting the liquid. If the catheter 11 to be stored in the storage section 15 is set to have a large thickness, suction when the large one is held in the throat is easy.

As shown in FIG. 4, if a suction plate 18 is attached to the tip of the catheter 11, the suction plate 18 is pressed against the skin to suck waste products accumulated in pores of the skin and massage. The effect can also enhance the beauty effect of the skin.

In the above description, the case where the pipes 6A and 6B are inserted into the lid 5 of the collection container 3 is shown, but a structure in which one end of the tube 7 or the catheter 11 is directly inserted may be used. In addition, the present invention can be used not only for removing foreign substances in the mouth but also for sucking a runny nose of an infant who cannot bite the nose by himself, or for sucking earwax by setting it in an earpick.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the foreign matter remover according to the first aspect of the present invention, foreign matter can be safely removed by using a vacuum cleaner in any home, and particularly when an elderly person is clogged with sputum. In cases such as when a child swallows a foreign body and clogs his throat, emergency measures can be taken promptly.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the pipe and the tube are integrally formed and the pipe and the catheter are integrally formed, the number of parts can be reduced. Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the flow rate adjusting valve is provided on the catheter or the tube, the suction strength can be adjusted at hand.
