JP2014050660A - Device for removing earwax with water flow - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for washing away, with a water flow, earwax from every corner in the ear without damaging the inside of the ear.SOLUTION: A device in Fig. 1 is mounted to the showering part of a shower head, and the jet opening in Fig. 1 is brought near to the ear to wash the inside of the ear with the water flow. If using warm water during bathing, the earwax becomes more soluble and every earwax is brought to the outside with the water flow distributed to every corner of the ear.

Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing earwax with a water stream.

  To date, there are three main methods for removing earwax: earpick, cotton swab, and specialist removal.

  However, each is a flawed method. Earpicking can cause damage to the mucous membrane of the ear canal and cause otitis externa, and has no effect on areas that are not reachable. A cotton swab not only applies ear wax to the skin but also pushes it deeper into the skin, and has no effect on areas where the swab does not reach. And since the above two points are rod-shaped, there is a risk of piercing the eardrum. While removal by specialists is reliable, it takes time and money.

  The problem to be solved is that none of the earwax removal methods are safe, reliable and free of charge.

  The present invention is characterized by realizing a safe, reliable and cost-free method for removing earwax by utilizing a water stream.

  The water flow reaches the part where the stick-shaped ear wax remover does not reach, penetrates into the dry and viscous ear wax, makes it soft, and when it becomes easy to peel off, it flows out of the ear by the water flow. It is effective to use warm water when bathing.

  Detachment uses rubber stoppers on the left and right sides of the body, but it can also be applied to shower heads with different thicknesses depending on the suction cups on the inside.

  Since the main body is plastic and has a simple structure, it can be mass-produced and can be manufactured at low cost.

safety

  First, when water enters from the outside, the ear is blocked by the eardrum, so it does not enter the body. In other words, because it becomes a dead end, all the washed-out dirt flows out to the outside.

  Otitis media concerned is that the bacteria enter from the throat and nose, enter the middle ear inside the eardrum through the ear canal, and there is no causal relationship with the water flow that cleans the outer side of the eardrum. Further, the water flow does not damage the mucous membrane like earpick etc., and thus can also prevent otitis externa.

  It is judged that there is no danger in water in the ear itself because there is no denial of underwater work and sports in general such as divers, sports diving, swimming, etc. that will be in the water for a long time it can.

  Left side view The main body is to pour warm water into the ear with the funnel sideways. Apply the adhesive part to the shower head to the shower head, and fix it with a sucker on both sides of the shower head body with rubber stoppers. The hot water squirted from the shower head is thinly packed by a funnel and squirts from the water outlet, so it is brought close to the ear hole and injected into the ear at a pin point to wash away the dirt.   Front view It is the top view seen from the water jet. The rubber stoppers on both sides are soft, so they should be wrapped around both sides of the shower head body and fixed with a suction cup.

Claims (2)

This is a method of washing the earwax with water without using earpick or cotton swab. In order to achieve Claim 1, the apparatus is mounted on a shower head, and is composed of a conical body, a water jet, and a rubber stopper.
