Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • plastic such as PVC or any thermo-injected product
  • tension paper such as tension paper
  • any cellulosic product that, if possible, has a long fiber structure, for better handling.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a stick, in elevation and top view, of semi-oval design and provided with 3 equidistant ovoidal caps, among the various possible.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a stick, in elevation and top view, of spherical envelope, and provided with four equidistant caps, among the various possible.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic representation, in elevation of the stick and top view, of an almost cylindrical casquetoid formed by two single-turn spirals.
  • Figure 4 is a repetition of the drawings of the previous figures, in section and in which the caps and casquetoids have been substituted by narrow strips or wires, straight and turned on themselves, in identical numbers in each case, for Simplify the drawing, united centrally.
  • Figure 5 is a repetition of the previous figures 1 to 3, in which the caps and casquetoids have been replaced by discs, in identical numbers in each case, to simplify the drawing, centrally joined.
  • Figure 6 is a stick showing at one end an ovoidal casquetoid and at the other a spherical cap, with the particularity that it has a prolonged shaft and the caps are a derivation of this extension.
  • the invention now advocated consists of a hygienic toothpick for cleaning ears, of those configured from a shaft (1) and one or both of its ends prepared for the collection of earwax, of a well cylindrical external envelope, well oval, elliptical section or in any other geometric section, regular or irregular, it is preferably in PVC material or any thermo-injected or natural product, such as tension paper and, in general, long, smooth or rough fiber cellulose, as well as elastic , absorbent and fluffy, for these collection purposes.
  • the preferred execution of the end is configured in the form of spherical, ovoid (3), etc., interlaced caps in the respective polar zones, so that this loop (4) determines the point of attack to the earwax and the rotation of the shaft (1) introduces it to the inside of the cap, where it accumulates, being valid for any number of caps, as long as it is possible to enter the earwax.
  • the cap can also be reduced to a narrow plate (6) or as a wire (7), flat or twisted, for whose edge it hits the earwax.
  • both caps, as plates or wires, as well as discs can have an external enveloping surface, constituted by a filamentous material collecting the earwax.

Abstract

Le bâtonnet hygiénique possède de grands espaces vides intercalés entre deux ou plusieurs segments sphériques (2), des segments ovoïdes (3) ou des segments ayant d'autres configurations (5), ainsi que des bandes (6), des fils métalliques (7) ou des disques (8) droits ou torsadés sur eux-mêmes, entrelacés dans les zones polaires respectives, de sorte que le n÷ud (4) détermine le point d'attaque du cérumen et du début de l'accumulation interne de cérumen, le manche (1) du bâtonnet pouvant présenter à son extrémité opposée des ailettes.
