Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a catheter-type tampon booster which is convenient for transportation and a set thereof. Background Art

[0002] Applicator tampons are easy to use, so most consumers choose applicator tampons when they first learn to use tampons.

[0003] The catheter-type tampons include a sleeve and a push rod. Before the catheter-type tampons leave the factory, most of them will have a tampon inside the sleeve. Therefore, during the transportation of the catheter-type tampons, due to being thrown or shaken, it is very easy for the tampon to be partially or completely pushed out of the sleeve, making it impossible for consumers to use it normally. Not only does it damage the tampon manufacturers, it also brings a bad experience to consumers, which is not conducive to the vigorous promotion of tampons in the domestic market. This problem is also a bottleneck encountered in the development of the industry. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a catheter-type tampon booster and a set thereof that are easy to transport. The tampon booster of the present invention can ensure that the tampon will not be pushed out of the sleeve during transportation and is easy for consumers to use.

[0005] The tampon booster of the present invention comprises a sleeve for accommodating a tampon and a push rod that can extend into the sleeve, a receiving cavity for placing a tampon is arranged in the middle of the sleeve, the sleeve has a tampon push inlet and a tampon discharge outlet, the push rod and the sleeve have at least two connection states, when in the first connection state, the push rod can be engaged with the sleeve, when in the second connection state, the push rod can move freely along the axial direction of the sleeve, when in the first connection state, the radial width of at least a part of the inner side wall of the sleeve is greater than the radial width of the push rod. Therefore, before the tampon leaves the factory, the push rod and the sleeve are adjusted to the first connection state, and the push rod and the sleeve are engaged with each other, so that the push rod will not be pushed out of the sleeve during transportation; when the consumer uses it, he only needs to rotate the push rod and adjust the push rod and the sleeve to the second state, and then it can be used, and the operation is simple.

[0006] Furthermore, at least one stopper extending toward the axial center line of the sleeve is provided on the inner surface of the end of the sleeve near the tampon insertion port, and when the push rod and the sleeve are in the first connection state, the push rod can abut against the stopper. Therefore, under the action of the stopper, the position of the push rod and the sleeve can be limited to prevent the push rod from moving relative to the sleeve.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided in a partial area of ​​the inner wall of the sleeve, and the stopper is provided on a side wall of at least one side of the limiting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting groove includes two oppositely disposed first side walls and two oppositely disposed second side walls, the width of the first side wall is smaller than the width of the second side wall, and the stopper is disposed along the second side wall.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of at least a portion of the end of the push rod that can extend into the sleeve includes two third side walls that are oppositely disposed and two fourth side walls that are oppositely disposed, the width of the third side wall is smaller than the width of the fourth side wall, and the width of the fourth side wall is larger than the width of the first side wall. Therefore, in the first connection state, the two fourth side walls of the push rod can abut against the stopper located on the second side wall, thereby preventing the push rod from moving relative to the sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, a clamping edge is provided at one end of the push rod that can extend into the sleeve, and when the push rod and the sleeve are in the first connection state, the clamping edge can be clamped with the stopper.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one stopper capable of abutting against the push rod is provided on the inner side wall of the sleeve, and the stopper is a stopper extending from the inner side wall of the sleeve toward the push rod, thereby preventing the push rod from slipping out of the sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-slip protrusions are provided on a partial area of ​​the push rod.

[0013] The present invention also provides a tampon product set, which includes the above-mentioned tampon booster and at least one tampon. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] See attached Figure 1-3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the tampon booster of the present invention, it includes a sleeve 1 for accommodating a tampon and a push rod 2 that can extend into the sleeve 1, a accommodating cavity for placing the tampon is provided in the middle of the sleeve 1, and the sleeve 1 has a tampon pushing inlet 11 and a tampon discharge outlet 12.

[0023] The push rod 2 of the present invention has at least two connection states with the sleeve 1. When in the first connection state, the push rod 2 can be snap-fitted with the sleeve 1. When in the second connection state, the push rod 2 can move freely along the axial direction of the sleeve 1. When in the first connection state, the radial width of at least a portion of the inner wall of the sleeve 1 is greater than the radial width of the push rod 2.

[0024] A gripping handle 3 is provided at one end of the sleeve 1 of the present invention near the tampon insertion port 11. A limiting groove 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the handle of the sleeve 1.
