The present invention spirals on one side of the mold that can be easily handled with one hand, which easily removes old keratin and dirt, etc. from the skin between the toes and takes care of hygiene between the toes when bathing and washing the feet. It is related with the provision of the tool regarding hygiene maintenance between the toes which have a shape or optionally a plurality of triangular toes, and prevention of athlete's foot infection.

In the past, when bathing or washing feet, the old keratin and plaque of the skin created between the toes were scraped with a combination of pumice, loofah, towel-like dirt cloth, soap, detergent, etc. However, in the case of pumice stone, the normal pumice shape is not suitable for use between the toes and may not be able to remove enough dirt. Often cannot be removed as desired, and sufficient cleaning effects cannot be obtained.

The configuration as a cleaning tool dedicated to the toes consists of a handle part and a tip action part, and is composed of two types, a separate type in which the handle part and the tip action part are separated.

In addition, the handle portion has a feature that it is possible to select a handle portion having a mere handle portion and a mechanical portion in which a power source such as an electric motor or a ridge is housed.

The tip is made of a light metal such as aluminum or titanium and a sponge with a titanium coating finish or hard natural or synthetic resin, or a spiral or coral molded with synthetic resin such as natural or synthetic wood, plastic, vinyl chloride or polyethylene. Or a radial action part or a brush-like action part.

Even if the battery runs out during use of the toe cleaning tool, or the handle part with the mechanical part breaks down and does not move, it can be used continuously by removing the action part at the tip and attaching it to the manual handle It is characterized by.

Conventional invention

Previously, there were no cleaning tools dedicated between the toes, using pumice, loofah, towels, or a combination of bag-like dirt and soap / detergent, or brush-like cleaning tools with handles. .

In addition, even when washing between toes using a brush or other cleaning tool with a pumice stone or handle, it may cause damage to the skin deeply, or it may damage the skin deeply. If the shape of a cleaning tool such as a brush with a pumice stone or handle does not match, or if other scrubbing tools such as a loofah, towel, or brush cannot sufficiently remove the dead skin and dirt There were many

In addition, registered utility model No. 3047270 “pumice stone picking pumice”, which was designed to improve the effect of grinding pumice in a pestle shape, especially between fingers, Advocates, uses differ, and does not compete with the present invention.

As described in [Claim 1], the size and shape of the heel of the toe cleaning tool can be arbitrarily selected according to the preference of the “toe toe cleaning tool”. An equilateral triangle with an angle of 60 ° has the best effect.

In addition, it is often caused by excessive rubbing that is desired to be removed, partially damaging the skin deeply, or removing the skin so thin that it is often infected with athlete's foot or skin disease at public baths or hot springs. Or a failure occurred.

The present invention determines the dimension of the action part as a dedicated tool so as to exert a sufficient cleaning effect when necessary in removing old keratin and dirt on the skin between the toes, and further, the angle of the heel of the action part By deciding the interval, it is characterized by efficiently removing old keratin and plaque from the skin.

In addition, the angle and interval of the triangular eyelids on the toe-to-finger cleaning tool does not reduce the cleaning effect even if old keratin or dirt on the scraped skin accumulates. In order to easily remove keratin and dirt, the size and spacing of the eyelids is 1 to 5 mm, and the angle of the eyelids can be selected from any acute angle, but an equilateral triangle with an eyelid angle of 60 ° is the best effect. To do.

The action part of the toe-to-finger cleaning tool is characterized in that a brush or a heel or heel is formed in a spiral shape or a laminated shape.

As described in [0010] above, the size and interval of the heel of the toe cleaning tool are arbitrary dimensions between 1 to 3 mm, and the angle of the heel has a variety in which an arbitrary acute angle can be selected. Features.

Since the present invention has a shape that can be easily grasped with one hand and has a small volume, it is not bulky and convenient to carry even when used in hot springs and public baths other than home baths.

3, 5, and 6, the scissors or scissors provided on the action part configured in a spiral or spiral manner can be freely selected and configured with a toe cleaning tool. To do.

The invention's effect

The handle portion of the toe cleaning tool of the present invention has a shape that can be easily grasped with one hand, and can be rubbed between toes in the grasped state to easily remove old keratin and plaque etc. of the skin. .

The handle has a shape and volume that can freely control the force applied when removing old keratin and plaque from the skin easily. Etc. can be easily removed

The old texture and dirt of the scraped skin collected between the toes of the toe cleaning tool can be easily removed by immersing the cleaning tool in hot water and shaking it after use. It is more effective to rinse with soap.

It is characterized by maintaining good hygiene condition of the toe cleaning tool after use because it can easily remove old keratin and dirt etc. of the scraped skin accumulated between the toes of the toe cleaning tool. To do.

In particular, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-095958 for the tip action part of the present invention, when the action part made of titanium or coated with titanium oxide is used, the cleanliness between the toes is maintained by the sterilization action peculiar to the metal. Can be demonstrated more effectively.

However, in the description of the use in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-095958, claims 28, 29, 30, 34, and 37.38, the use is not described as “for toe-to-toe cleaning”. The application is "pharmaceuticals and therapeutics", and unlike the "pharmaceuticals and therapeutics", the present invention is a tool for maintaining the cleanliness and health of the skin surface. Don't be.

In the case where the tip part can be separated and replaced, there is a type in which the tip part has a long use period and high durability and a “disposable” type in which the tip part is exchanged in a relatively short period of time.

When using the tip action part of a compressed product such as a non-woven fabric, synthetic fiber or hair in the “disposable” type, it has characteristics that it can be used for the treatment of “athlete's foot” when impregnated with pharmaceuticals.

As an industrial application field, as a bathing-related product for general households, at least one is installed in a household, and it is provided for each individual like a toothbrush and is widely used.

In the present invention, prior arts such as a toothbrush and an electric toothbrush can be used as they are in the handle portion, such as a cotton swab or interdental brush, mascara, eyebrow applicator, or nail polish attachment at the tip. Because it has the possibility, since the facilities and parts, raw materials, materials, etc. of the manufacturing factory can be used as they are in the production place, it is possible to reduce specific manufacturing development costs and new investment in production equipment. It has characteristics.

In particular, as “foot baths” become more common, and the toes that are rubbed in the process of keeping the toes clean, the acupuncture points of the human body are concentrated. It has the characteristics that can be obtained health.

Although the present invention is a newly developed product, in the case of an electric handle, the power unit and power transmission mechanism of a conventional electric toothbrush may be used as they are, so that it can be supplied relatively inexpensively in terms of development and production costs. Has characteristics.

Further, in spreading the present invention, as described in [0004] [0005] [0006] [0007], there are two types of handle parts of the toe cleaning tool, manual type and electric type. In addition, since each can be used in various forms such as an integrated type and a separated type, the range of selection is wide, and there is a feature that it can be provided as a product with a wide variety of selection.

In the case of the separation type, it is particularly convenient to carry because it can be made small.

As one of the means for achieving and spreading the object of the present invention, it is characterized in that a new technology of an electric toothbrush engine part that will be developed or will be developed in the future can be used as it is instead of manual friction. .
