Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an oral sponge used for removing and cleaning saliva, sputum, and food waste (hereinafter referred to as secretions) in the oral cavity and applying a drug for oral cavity. This secretion also includes a mucous sputum ( hereinafter referred to as a clot ) that accumulates between the innermost teeth and the cheeks after the sputum attached to the back of the throat is cut. Further, the sponge here refers to a synthetic resin having bubbles such as sponge.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An example of the prior art of this invention is an oral sponge disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-325368.
The disclosed technology is characterized in that the sponge body is detachably locked to one end of the rod-like body, and the sponge body is a planar polygonal columnar body, and any concave portion is formed on the vertical edge of the column. The straight line has no protrusion, and the upper end of the rod-like body that holds the sponge body is at the upper part of the sponge body, and the upper end of the stick protrudes when the sponge in the top part of the sponge body is squeezed. There is a problem in use.
[0003]
If each vertical ridge of a columnar body of the above problem is a straight line, it smoothly touches teeth, gums, tongue, etc. in the oral cavity to adsorb secretions, but it is sandwiched between cheeks and roots and flattened Then, it was not possible to take out the lumps due to lack of intrusion into the details with bumps and adsorption of secretions.
When the top of the stick comes out and the top of the stick protrudes, the tip of the stick hits and causes pain when trying to take a relatively hard heel from the back of the throat. There is a drawback that makes it difficult.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to the oral sponge body that is pushed into the narrow part between the cheek and the root of the oral cavity, holds the clot in the concave portion of the sponge body and holds it without being flattened. The part cushions the throat and the like so that the lump can be taken out .
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the problems, the present invention provides an outer surface of an oral sponge body in which a concave groove intersecting with the longitudinal direction is intermittently provided, and a hemispherical sponge body is fixed or fitted on the top surface of the sponge body. The purpose is achieved by projecting freely.
[0006]
Embodiment
Even if the sponge body for oral cavity is a planar polygonal columnar body or a rod-shaped body, a concave groove is intermittently provided on the longitudinal edge or outer periphery thereof, and the concave groove is not limited to a V shape. If the hemispherical sponge body of the top part is made harder than the sponge body of the main body, it is easy to pick up viscous wrinkles.
[0007]
【Example】
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the sponge main body 1 is a columnar body having a quadrangular plane with the central portion of each side constricted inwardly, as shown in FIGS. A concave portion 3 is intermittently formed on each ridge side 2, that is, the ridge side 2 is left between the concave portions 3 , and a hemispherical crown body 4 is provided on the top portion.
[0008]
In detail, the sponge body 1 is a quadrangular prism body made of a water-absorbing porous soft synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. T-shaped grooves 6 are cut through the center portions of the two opposing surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the column bodies. As shown in FIG. 5, the sponge body 1 pushes open the opposing T-shaped grooves 6, 6 and pushes and narrows the other opposing cut grooves 5, 5, and the sponge body between the opposing T-shaped grooves 6 is shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 3, when the sandwiching piece 8 provided at the upper end of the handle bar 7 is sandwiched and the sponge body 1 is held by the handle bar 7 and the push-opening of the T-shaped grooves 6 and 6 is stopped, the elasticity of the sponge body The T-shaped groove 6 is closed.
[0009]
There are two types of crown bodies 4 at the top of the sponge body 1 as shown in cross section in FIGS. Both are provided integrally with the sponge body 1, and when the hardness is higher than that of the sponge body 1, a synthetic resin liquid having a required hardness is moistened in the crown 4.
The crown 4 in FIG. 4 shows the T-shaped grooves 6, 6 cut into the crown 4, and the crown 4 in FIG. 2 shows the T-shaped grooves 6, 6 not cut. The push-opening of the sponge body 1 has no resistance as shown in FIG.
[0010]
According to the above configuration, the concave portions 3 are less flattened due to the resistance to compression of the ridges 2 between the concave portions 3 or the sponge body that is not cut, and the concave portions 3 hold the bumps. Because it is formed and the surface area is increased, secretions can be adsorbed in detail. However, since the material is sponge, the T-shaped groove 6 may open during use. For this purpose, the outer periphery of the sponge body 1 such as the center in the longitudinal direction can be bound to prevent the opening.
[0011]
Another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. In this embodiment, a cover 9 having a crown 10 instead of the crown 4 can be fitted on a sponge body 1 without the crown 4, and the T-shape can be fitted. The means for preventing the opening of the groove 6 is unnecessary.
[0012]
More specifically, the cover 9 shown in FIG. 6 is a bifurcated body made of a sponge material, and has a hemispherical crown 10 at the top provided with support legs 11 on the left and right sides, and a rectangular shape at the lower ends of both support legs 11. A board 12 is provided.
[0013]
In order to use this, as shown in FIG. 7, the crown portion 10 is brought into contact with the top surface of the sponge body 1 while pushing the front and rear T-shaped grooves 6 of the sponge body 1 and pushing the support legs 11 of the cover 9. The crown 10 and the support leg 11 are fixed to the sponge body 1 so that the front and rear panels 12 are pulled down, and the boards 12 are bound to each other with surgical threads while the handle bar 7 is sandwiched between the front and rear panels 12.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the secretions in the oral cavity are scraped and adsorbed by the tooth-like portion formed on the ridge side 2 by the recess 3, and the secretions such as the back of the throat are removed without pain by the coronary body. can do. Therefore, it is optimal for welfare nursing.
