Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sanitary products, and particularly relates to a boosting structure for a tampon and a tampon. Background Art

[0002] A tampon, also known as a vaginal suppository, has a cotton core mainly made of cotton, rayon, or a mixture of these two materials, with a cotton thread (pull string) attached to the tail end. It absorbs menstrual blood by being inserted into the vagina, and after being filled with menstrual blood, the absorbent core is pulled out through the pull string. Currently, tampons on the market are mainly divided into two types: finger-inserted tampons and catheter tampons. The catheter tampon includes a catheter and a cotton core disposed inside the catheter. When in use, after inserting the catheter into the vagina, the cotton core is pushed out through a push rod and placed in the insensitive area of the vagina. Among them, the catheter and the push rod serve as the boosting structure of the tampon, and after pushing the cotton core into place, they are taken out from the body, and the cotton core remains in the body to absorb menstrual blood. When using the existing catheter tampons, since the catheter needs to be inserted into the human body, during the insertion process, it is very easy for the finger to come into contact with the vaginal orifice, resulting in dirty fingers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a boosting structure for a tampon and a tampon that can avoid dirtying fingers during use.

[0004] The present application provides a boosting structure for a tampon, including a catheter and a push rod. The catheter is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the absorbent core of the tampon. The catheter includes a base portion and a holding portion. The holding portion is provided at one end of the base portion. The end of the base portion away from the holding portion is provided with an outlet communicating with the receiving cavity. One end of the push rod extends into the receiving cavity, and the other end extends out from the end of the holding portion away from the base portion. The boosting structure further includes a stop portion provided on the outer surface of the catheter, and the stop portion is located between the base portion and the holding portion.

[0005] In one embodiment, the stop portion is annular and protrudes outward relative to the outer surface of the base portion and the outer surface of the holding portion.

[0006] In one embodiment, the width by which the stop portion protrudes outward relative to the outer surface of the holding portion is 10 mm - 30 mm.

[0007] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the base portion is 10 mm - 20 mm, the shape of the outer peripheral edge of the stop portion is circular, and the outer diameter of the stop portion is 20 mm - 50 mm.

[0008] In one embodiment, the holding portion is provided with an inwardly concave finger position groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad is provided at the finger position groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the anti-slip pad is made of TPE soft glue.

[0011] In one embodiment, the thickness of the anti-slip pad is 0.3 mm to 1 mm.

[0012] In one embodiment, the length of the holding portion is 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0013] The present application also provides a tampon, which includes an absorption core and the boosting structure as described above, and the absorption core is disposed in the accommodating cavity.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, when the boosting structure of the tampon and the tampon provided by the present application are in use, the finger is held at the holding portion, and the base is inserted into the human vagina. Since a stop portion is provided between the base and the holding portion, the stop portion can play a stopping role to prevent the finger from contacting the vaginal orifice, so that the finger will not be soiled. Moreover, the stop portion can also be used as an indication structure for the pushing position of the catheter. When the stop portion abuts against the human vaginal orifice, it indicates that the catheter has been pushed in place. At this time, by pushing the push rod to push the absorption core, the absorption core can be pushed into the insensitive area of the vagina, thus solving the problem that the user does not know which position the catheter should be pushed to, and greatly reducing the difficulty of using the tampon.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1, this application provides a boosting structure 1 for a tampon, which includes a catheter 10 and a push rod 20. A receiving cavity 11 for accommodating the absorbent core 2 of the tampon is provided inside the catheter 10. The catheter 10 includes a base 12 and a holding portion 13. The holding portion 13 is provided at one end of the base 12. An outlet communicating with the receiving cavity 11 is provided at the end of the base 12 away from the holding portion 13. One end of the push rod 20 extends into the receiving cavity 11, and the other end extends out from the end of the holding portion 13 away from the base 12. The boosting structure 1 further includes a stop portion 30 provided on the outer surface of the catheter 10. The stop portion 30 is located between the base 12 and the holding portion 13. During use, the finger holds the holding portion 13 and inserts the base 12 into the human vagina. Since the stop portion 30 is provided between the base 12 and the holding portion 13, the stop portion 30 can play a stopping role to prevent the finger from contacting the vaginal orifice, thus not soiling the finger. Moreover, the stop portion 30 can also serve as an indication structure for the pushing position of the catheter 10. When the stop portion 30 abuts against the human vaginal orifice, it indicates that the catheter 10 has been pushed in place. At this time, by pushing the absorbent core 2 with the push rod 20, the absorbent core 2 can be pushed into the insensitive area of the vagina, thereby solving the problem that the user does not know which position the catheter 10 should be pushed to, and greatly reducing the difficulty of using the tampon.

[0025] Further, the stop portion 30 is annular and protrudes outward relative to the outer surface of the holding portion 13 and the outer surface of the base 12. In this way, the structure of the stop portion 30 is very simple, and it can completely separate the outer surface of the base 12 and the outer surface of the holding portion 13, preventing menstrual blood in the body from flowing down along the outer surface of the base 12 to the hand during use.

[0026] In one embodiment, the shape of the outer peripheral edge of the stop portion 30 is circular, with a very simple structure and a uniform distribution of the effective stopping area around the catheter 10. However, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the shape of the outer peripheral edge of the stop portion 30 can also be oval or polygonal (including square).

[0027] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , the width W by which the stop portion 30 protrudes outward relative to the outer surface of the holding portion 13 is 10 mm to 30 mm. In this way, it can be ensured that the stop portion 30 can block the finger and prevent the finger from contacting the human vaginal orifice when the catheter 10 is pushed until the stop portion 30 abuts against the human vaginal orifice.

[0028] Further, the outer diameter D1 of the base 12 is 10 mm to 20 mm, and the outer diameter D2 of the stopper 30 is 20 mm to 50 mm. In this way, it is ensured that the stopper 30 can stop the menstrual blood flowing along the base 12 to prevent the menstrual blood from staining the fingers. In some specific embodiments, the outer diameter D1 of the base 12 can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm or any other value within the range of 10 mm to 20 mm. In some specific embodiments, the outer diameter D2 of the stopper 30 can be 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm, 48 mm, 50 mm, or any other value within the range of 20 mm to 50 mm.

[0029] Furthermore, the gripping portion 13 is provided with a concave finger position groove 131. When in use, the gripping portion 13 can be clamped on both sides by the middle finger and the index finger, and at the same time, the middle finger and the index finger can also lean on one side of the stopper 30. In addition, the ring finger can lean on one side of the gripping portion 13 to assist in clamping the gripping portion 13, and the thumb can push the push rod 20. The present application provides a concave finger position groove 131 to facilitate the fingers to hold the gripping portion 13, thereby increasing the fingers' control over the catheter 10, so that the angle and the pushing force can be better controlled.

[0030] In one embodiment, the finger groove 131 is an annular groove disposed on the surface of the grip portion 13 , but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the finger groove 131 may also be two grooves disposed on opposite sides of the grip portion 13 .

[0031] Furthermore, an anti-skid pad 14 is provided at the finger groove 131. In this way, a more stable point of force can be provided for the fingers, so as to prevent the fingers from slipping when clamping the gripping portion 13, and facilitate the user to push the absorbent core 2 into the human body. In one embodiment, the number of the anti-skid pad 14 is one, and the anti-skid pad 14 is annular and sleeved on the outside of the gripping portion 13. In another embodiment, the number of the anti-skid pad 14 is two, and the two anti-skid pads 14 are provided on opposite sides of the gripping portion 13.

[0032] Furthermore, the anti-skid pad 14 is TPE soft glue with good anti-skid performance. The catheter 10 and the stopper 30 can be made of PE material and can be integrally formed by injection molding. The anti-skid pad 14 can be fixed in the finger groove 131 on the surface of the gripping portion 13 by a secondary injection molding process. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the anti-skid pad 14 can be glued in the finger groove 131 on the surface of the gripping portion 13 by glue.

[0033] Further, the thickness T of the anti-slip pad 14 is 0.3 mm to 1 mm. If the anti-slip pad 14 is too thin, it cannot achieve an effective anti-slip effect. If the anti-slip pad 14 is too thick, it will waste materials and increase costs. In this embodiment, the thickness T of the anti-slip pad 14 is 0.3 mm to 1 mm, which can not only ensure an effective anti-slip effect but also control the cost at a relatively low level. In some specific embodiments, the thickness T of the anti-slip pad 14 can be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 mm, or any other arbitrary value within the range of 0.3 mm to 1 mm.

[0034] Further, the length L of the holding portion 13 is 10 mm to 20 mm. In this way, it is ensured that the middle finger and the index finger can clamp the holding portion 13. In some specific embodiments, the length L of the holding portion 13 can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, or any other arbitrary value within the range of 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , this application also provides a tampon, which includes an absorbent core 2 and the boosting structure 1 as described above, and the absorbent core 2 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11. When using this tampon, the finger holds the holding portion 13, and the base portion 12 is inserted into the human vagina. Since a stop portion 30 is provided between the base portion 12 and the holding portion 13, the stop portion 30 can play a stopping role to prevent the finger from contacting the vaginal orifice, thus not soiling the finger. Moreover, the stop portion 30 can also be used as an indicating structure for the pushing position of the catheter 10. When the stop portion 30 abuts against the human vaginal orifice, it indicates that the catheter 10 has been pushed in place. At this time, by pushing the absorbent core 2 with the push rod 20, the absorbent core 2 can be pushed into the insensitive area of the vagina, thereby solving the problem that the user does not know which position the catheter 10 should be pushed to, and greatly reducing the difficulty of using the tampon.

[0036] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0037] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be subject to the appended claims.
