Description

  The present invention relates to an adapter that is attached to the tip of a beverage container to form a device for cleaning the nasal cavity.

For cleaning the nasal cavity, a device that allows water or a cleaning solution to flow into the nasal cavity is used. There are various types of such appliances for home use, but there is a problem that the intranasal washing is not always performed, so that it becomes an obstacle when not in use, and the price as an appliance is relatively high. In order to cope with such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 discloses that an intranasal washer is formed by attaching a nozzle to the tip of a plastic bottle. With such a configuration, when not in use, only the nozzle is stored, and the plastic bottle may be discarded. Also, the manufacturing cost can be kept low because the container is unnecessary.
JP 2004-738 A

In the device described in Patent Document 1, since the opening at the tip of the nozzle is narrow, the nozzle is blocked by the surface tension of the liquid only by the opening of the nozzle, and the liquid does not flow. Thereby, air enters between the liquid and the container, and the liquid is pushed and flows from the nozzle tip. However, when such a tube is provided, the disturbing configuration increases and portability is reduced accordingly. To cope with this, it is sufficient to omit the tube and enlarge the nozzle opening, but the opening needs to be large enough to enter the nostril, and fluid can flow smoothly through the nostril. I can't.
Therefore, the present invention has a problem in that in an adapter that forms an intranasal cleaning device by being attached to a beverage container such as a plastic bottle, it is possible to smoothly discharge liquid while omitting a tube for taking in air and improving portability. To do.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
The device according to claim 1 is provided when a lid body detachably formed in an opening portion of a predetermined beverage container and an upper surface provided on the upper surface of the lid body are attached to the opening portion. A nasal washing adapter for a beverage container having a nozzle body that is formed obliquely with respect to the opening and that has a long hole serving as an air intake port and a liquid discharge port in the vicinity of the tip, and has a diameter that decreases toward the tip. It is. Here, the “long hole” means a hole that is long in one direction, and includes an elliptical or rectangular hole.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the diameter of the nozzle body is reduced toward the tip so that the liquid does not stagnate in the middle of the nozzle body, and the opening at the tip is formed obliquely by a long hole to form a nostril. It can maintain the size to enter, and the air is taken out near the tip while taking in air at the base end side of the side, so that the liquid can flow out smoothly, and there is no need for a pipe for taking in the air. Can increase the sex.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a beverage container intranasal washing adapter X according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the beverage container intranasal washing adapter X. The nasal cavity washing adapter X for beverage containers is composed of a lid body 10 and a nozzle body 20 that are integrally formed of synthetic resin.
The lid 10 has substantially the same shape and configuration as the lid of a commercially available 500 ml beverage PET bottle, and has a cylindrical outer surface that engages with a male screw at the tip of the beverage PET bottle. 11 is formed.
The nozzle body 20 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the lid body 10, and has a rounded, oblique conical shape in which one side is substantially vertical. Then, an elliptical long hole 21 is formed obliquely with respect to the bottom surface of the lid body 10 from the tip to the inclined side surface on the opposite side of the portion vertically cut. The tip of the nozzle body 10 is formed to the extent that an average human nostril can enter.

Next, a method of using the nasal cavity washing adapter X for beverage containers having the above configuration will be described. First, a user puts a liquid such as water into a well-cleaned 500 ml PET bottle B as shown in FIG. At this time, if too much liquid is added, the liquid does not flow out, so the amount of liquid is kept at about two thirds of the capacity of the plastic bottle B. Next, the female screw 11 of the lid 10 of the nasal cavity washing adapter X for beverage containers is engaged with the male screw at the tip of the plastic bottle B to fix the lid 10 to the plastic bottle B. In this state, the user holds the plastic bottle B in his / her hand so that the vertical side of the nozzle body 20 faces toward the user, and slowly tilts the plastic bottle B by applying the tip of the nozzle body 20 to the nostril. Allow fluid to flow into the nasal cavity. FIG. 4 shows the state of the plastic bottle B and the nasal washing adapter X for beverage containers at this time. In FIG. 4, the nasal washing adapter X for beverage containers is shown in cross-section for easy viewing, and the liquid inside is also indicated by a solid line. As shown in the figure, liquid flows out from the inclined tip side of the long hole 21 of the nozzle body, while air enters the PET bottle from the base end side of the long hole as shown by an arrow A, so that the liquid is large. The nozzle body 20 can flow smoothly without being blocked by atmospheric pressure.
In addition, although the thing with low viscosity, such as water, is assumed as a liquid for washing | cleaning here, when using a liquid with high viscosity, it is sufficient to make the length of the long hole 21 long.

It is a perspective view of the nasal cavity washing adapter for drink containers concerning an embodiment. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the nasal cavity washing adapter for drink containers which concerns on embodiment. It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the nasal cavity washing adapter for beverage containers, and a PET bottle. It is the partially broken side view which showed a mode that the liquid flowed out, when the nasal cavity washing adapter for drink containers was mounted | worn with the PET bottle.
