PALILLO HIGIÉNICO PARA LIMPIEZA DE OÍDOS HYGIENIC STICK FOR EAR CLEANING
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención objeto de la presente memoria se refiere a un palillo higiénico, de los habitualmente utilizados para limpieza de oídos, que caracteriza una estructura y una configuración que facilita la recogida del cerumen y su acumulación interna.The invention object of the present specification refers to a hygienic stick, of those commonly used for ear cleaning, which characterizes a structure and configuration that facilitates the collection of the earwax and its internal accumulation.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los palillos de limpieza de oídos se configuran cilindricos delgados, bien macizos o bien tubulares y disponen generalmente, en uno de sus extremos, de una acumulación de fibra, natural o plástica, a modo del residuo de un husillo de hilatura manual tradicional.The ear cleaning sticks are configured thin, either solid or tubular cylindrical and generally have, at one of their ends, an accumulation of fiber, natural or plastic, as a residue of a traditional hand spinning spindle.
Estos palillos, extraordinariamente aptos para el servicio a que se destinan tienen, sin embargo, el inconve¬ niente de su propia configuración, a la hora de su utiliza¬ ción.These sticks, extraordinarily suitable for the service to which they are intended, have, however, the disadvantage of their own configuration, at the time of their use.
Efectivamente, esta disposición más o menos macizada de su extremo facilita la recogida del cerumen en tanto éste se adhiere a los hilos pero deja de hacerlo a medida que se acumula por lo que, por lo general, no basta con un palillo para realizar una limpieza completa del conducto auditivo.Indeed, this more or less solid arrangement of its end facilitates the collection of the earwax while it adheres to the threads but stops doing so as it accumulates so that, in general, a stick is not enough to perform a cleaning Complete auditory canal.
Del solicitante es el modelo de utilidad ns de solicitud U 9402805 (2) , de igual denominación y consisten- te en una estructura alargada que presenta en su extremo superior una cabeza, en forma de envolvente curvada, derivada del propio cuerpo del palillo, con un orificio interno, encontrándose forrada la superficie envolvente, al igual que en los palillos convencionales, de un material captador sensible.The applicant is the utility model ns of application U 9402805 (2), of the same denomination and consisting of an elongated structure that presents at its upper end a head, in the form of a curved envelope, derived from the stick body itself, with an internal hole, the envelope surface being lined, as in conventional sticks, of a sensitive pickup material.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La invención objeto de la actual propuesta consiste en un palillo higiénico para limpieza de oídos, de los configurados a partir de un astil alargado y de extensión suficiente para ser tomado entre los dedos y poder introdu¬ cir uno de sus extremos en el pabellón e incluso en el conducto auditivo, al objeto de recogida del cerumen acumulado en el exterior y en las paredes del conducto.The invention object of the current proposal consists of a hygienic stick for cleaning ears, of those configured from an elongated shaft and of sufficient extension to be taken between the fingers and to be able to introduce one of its ends in the pavilion and even in the ear canal, for the purpose of collecting the accumulated earwax outside and in the walls of the duct.
Este palillo, configurada su envolvente externa bien cilindrica, bien de sección ovalada, elíptica o en cual¬ quier otra sección geométrica, regular o irregular, lo es preferiblemente en material homogéneo en materia plástica, tal como PVC o cualquier producto termoinyectado, lo mismo que en producto de origen natural, como pueda ser papel tensado y, en general, cualquier producto celulósico que, a ser posible, disponga de una estructura de fibra larga, para su mejor manipulación.This stick, configured in its outer shell either cylindrical, either oval, elliptical or in any other geometric section, regular or irregular, is preferably in homogeneous material in plastic, such as PVC or any thermo-injected product, just as in a product of natural origin, such as tension paper and, in general, any cellulosic product that, if possible, has a long fiber structure, for better handling.
Su configuración puede ser lisa o rugosa, si bien ha de cumplir la condición de ser un producto mínimamente absorbente y esponjoso, a fin de cubrir con los objetivos previstos.Its configuration can be smooth or rough, although it has to fulfill the condition of being a minimally absorbent and spongy product, in order to meet the intended objectives.
Por lo que respecta a su extremo, de limpieza, la estructura ha de ser ampliamente elástica, a fin de poder adaptarse con facilidad al conducto, pero no al extremo de no ejercer una determinada presión sobre las paredes del mismo, que es la que determina y posibilita la adhesión y la extracción del cerumen, variando estas estructuras en función de los acabados configurativos finales que a continuación se describirán.As regards its cleaning end, the structure must be widely elastic, in order to be able to adapt easily to the duct, but not to the end of not exerting a certain pressure on the walls of the duct, which is what determines and allows the adhesion and extraction of earwax, varying these structures in function of the final configurative finishes that will be described below.
La ejecución principal del extremo de palillo se configurará en forma de sectores huecos entre generatrices de figuras de revolución, es decir en el caso de la esfera, de casquetes esféricos, mientras que en ovoides serían figuras casquetoidales, etc.The main execution of the stick end will be configured in the form of hollow sectors between generatrices of revolution figures, that is to say in the case of the sphere, of spherical caps, while in ovoids they would be casquetoidal figures, etc.
Estos casquetes quedarían enlazados entre sí en las respectivas zonas polares, de forma que este lazo determi¬ naría un punto frontal de ataque del palillo respecto al pabellón y conducto auditivos.These caps would be linked together in the respective polar zones, so that this loop would determine a frontal point of attack of the stick with respect to the auditory pavilion and conduit.
Este apuntamiento es el que se introduce en el cerumen externo o en el periférico al conducto y, con el giro del astil va pasando progresivamente, por deslizamiento simple, al interior del casquete, donde se acumula junto al desprendido por igual sistema mediante los restantes casquetes del palillo, en esta rotación del mismo.This aiming is the one that is introduced in the external earwax or in the peripheral to the duct and, with the rotation of the shaft, it progressively passes, by simple sliding, to the inside of the cap, where it accumulates next to the detached by the same system through the remaining caps of the stick, in this rotation of the same.
Esta ejecución es válida para cualquier multiplicidad de casquetes, espaciados los unos de los otros y cuya envolvente sea la esfera, el ovoide, etc. del palillo, con tal que quede espacio suficiente entre estos casquetes como para permitir esa función principal de acumulación interna del cerumen.This execution is valid for any multiplicity of caps, spaced from each other and whose envelope is the sphere, the ovoid, etc. of the stick, provided there is enough space between these caps to allow that main function of internal accumulation of the earwax.
Lo dicho es válido también para las figuras casquetoi- dales constituidas de aquellas otras figuras más complejas configuradas por casquetes helicoides que, evidentemente, podrán disponerse en una multiplicidad de piezas similares pero con la diferencia de configurarse las mismas tanto en espirales de una sola vuelta como de más, pudiendo descri- bir la superficie envolvente una figura cilindrica, esférica, ovoidal, etc. Otra variante, para cualquiera de esas formas envol¬ ventes descritas consiste en jugar con la elasticidad del extremo del palillo, reduciendo la de los casquetes envolventes y reforzándola internamente, en base a prolon- gar el astil y, en su extremo prolongado, realizar dos o más derivaciones de esta prolongación, en finas pletinas que describen los casquetes hasta que se unen inferiormente al cuerpo del astil, formando una unidad con él.The above is also valid for the casquetoidal figures constituted of those other more complex figures configured by helical caps that, obviously, can be arranged in a multiplicity of similar pieces but with the difference of being configured both in single-turn spirals as in addition, the enclosing surface may describe a cylindrical, spherical, ovoidal figure, etc. Another variant, for any of these described wrapping forms, consists in playing with the elasticity of the end of the stick, reducing that of the wrapping caps and strengthening it internally, based on prolonging the shaft and, at its prolonged end, performing two or more derivations of this extension, in thin plates that describe the caps until they join inferiorly to the body of the shaft, forming a unit with it.
En esta variante, esa mayor elasticidad del casquete se utiliza para iniciar con él la recogida del cerumen en vez de hacerlo con el lazo del extremo, como ocurría en el caso anterior.In this variant, this greater elasticity of the cap is used to start the collection of the earwax instead of the end loop, as was the case in the previous case.
Por último, el casquete del extremo puede reducir su anchura, modificando adecuadamente su elasticidad, hasta convertirse en una estrecha pletina o a modo de alambre, en disposición plana o retorcida sobre sí mismos, para disponer siempre de una fracción de arista limpia, que es la que acomete al cerumen.Finally, the end cap can reduce its width, adequately modifying its elasticity, until it becomes a narrow plate or wire, in a flat or twisted arrangement on themselves, to always have a clean edge fraction, which is the that rushes the earwax.
Una ejecución diferente a estas anteriores consiste en que el extremo se configura en forma de discos, con las diferentes formas posibles descritas con anterioridad, unidos los mismos centralmente entre sí, formando esta unión una teórica prolongación del eje del astil.A different execution to these previous ones consists in that the end is configured in the form of disks, with the different possible forms described previously, united centrally to each other, forming this union a theoretical extension of the axis of the shaft.
Finalmente, cabe también la posibilidad de reforzar estos casquetes, pletinas o alambres con una superficie envolvente externa, constituida por un material filamentoso captador del cerumen.Finally, it is also possible to reinforce these caps, plates or wires with an external enveloping surface, constituted by a filamentous material collecting the earwax.
