Description

DESCRIPTION

Cleaning element for the ear canal

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of this descriptive report establishes, is a cleaning element for the auditory canal, being an innovation that within current techniques provides advantages unknown until now.

The cleaning element allows the earwax stored in the ear canal to be removed, whether it is dry or unctuous, thanks to the special design of the head, which by rotating it manually collects the earwax inside, which is extracted when we remove the cleaning element from the canal. auditory.

The way of extracting the earwax and the special design of the head prevent the earwax from packing at the bottom of the ear canal.

TECHNICAL SECTOR

Therefore, this invention is confined to the field of manufacturing cleaning and personal hygiene items, more specifically for cleaning the ear canal, either at a private or professional level.

STATE OF THE ART

For correct personal hygiene, it is recommended to clean the ear canal periodically, extracting and eliminating excess earwax in order to avoid the creation of plugs.

To carry out this cleaning, the traditional cotton swabs are known that have cotton on each of their ends, which is inserted into the ear canal and manages to clean part of the earwax.

However, the use of these sticks has the great disadvantage that, occasionally, they could move and press the earwax into the canal. auditory, thus causing its packing, which could lead to tremendously uncomfortable plugs, even requiring the intervention of a specialist for its removal.

On the other hand, the existing swabs or swabs are disposable, which generates a large amount of waste.

In addition, with the use of traditional swabs we can create injuries to the eardrum, since they are rigid and there are times when too much pressure could be exerted.

The existence of any product with the same technical characteristics as the invention presented here is unknown.

Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problems arising from the factors and circumstances described above.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a cleaning element for the auditory canal that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently collected in the final claims accompanying this description.

The cleaning element for the ear canal allows you to remove excess earwax, without risk of damaging the eardrum, without causing the earwax to pack and without generating waste that harms the environment.

For this, the cleaning element comprises a stem at the end of which it has a head with a plurality of elongated elements.

Said elongated elements start from the beginning of the head and separate to meet again at the end of the head, creating a central hollow volume, which will be where the earwax to be removed is stored.

The head will be joined to the stem by means of a union.

To use it, the user will only have to insert the cleaning element into the ear canal and rotate it, thus ensuring that the elongated elements collect and store the earwax from the ear canal, achieving a simple and safe extraction for the user.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this description is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by a figure in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented.

Figure 1 shows the cleaning element.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a cleaning element for the auditory canal that provides notable innovation within its field of application, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the claims.

The cleaning element for the ear canal comprises a stem (1) at the end of which has a head (2) with a plurality of elongated elements (3) that start from the beginning of the head (2) and that separate to come together again at the end of the head (2), creating a central hollow volume (4), the head (2) being attached to the stem by means of a joining means.

In a preferred embodiment, the elongated elements (3) are spaced laterally. In this way, the collection of earwax is facilitated, which is introduced into the space between each elongated element and is retained in the hollow volume that is generated in the center.

Generally the elongated elements (3) have a "U" shape. In this way, we achieve that if the user strongly presses the cleaning element against the eardrum, the head contracts as if it were a spring, thus avoiding damaging the eardrum.

In addition, thanks to said shape of the elongated elements (3), we achieve that the head (2) adapts to the different sizes of hearing aids of the different users. We even got them to massage the walls of these.

Preferably, the final end of the head (2) is open, thus preventing the wax from packing.

In a preferred embodiment, the stem (1) is made of resin of vegetable origin, thus resulting in an ecological product.

And the head (2) will be made of recyclable soft resin. In this way, when you want to wash the head, it can be done using hot water with soap, or simply hot water.

Preferably, the surface of the stem (1) has a groove (5), which gives a greater grip so that when the user is using it, the hand does not slip.

Generally, the connecting means between the head (2) and the stem (1) is removable, being able to change the head (2) when it has deteriorated and replace it with a new one.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any person skilled in the art understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as its principle is not altered, changed or modified. fundamental.
