Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bottle opening devices, specifically to an inserting aid device. Background Technology

[0002] The aluminum cap, typically made of a thin layer of metal, covers the mouth of the medicine bottle, providing physical insulation. A gasket, located beneath the cap and in direct contact with the medication, is usually made of plastic or other safe materials to ensure a tight seal and chemical stability. Patients need to use a straw or similar tool to puncture the cap and gasket to drink the medication. This step can be difficult for the elderly or those with weaker hand strength. If the straw is not rigid enough, puncture may fail, affecting the patient's ability to take the medication. Cap-opening aids help patients penetrate the cap and gasket more easily. Figure 1 As shown, existing insertion-assisted devices generally suffer from drawbacks: the handle is too short, resulting in a small contact area for the patient's hand, making it difficult to find the point of application; conversely, the insertion part is too long, with an excessively thick diameter and a blunt tip, leading to an excessively large contact area with the aluminum cap and gasket during puncture, increasing the risk of gasket fragments falling off or the entire gasket dislodging from the puncture site. Therefore, improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an insertion aid device, which has the advantages of a large contact area of ​​the handle and that the insertion aid does not damage the pad during puncture.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an insertion aid device, comprising: a handle portion that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom for a user to hold, and an insertion aid portion disposed at the lower end of the handle portion and having a sharp conical shape; the insertion aid portion is used to puncture the aluminum cap of an oral liquid bottle.

[0005] In a further embodiment of this invention, the length of the insertion aid is 2-4 mm.

[0006] The present invention further provides that the cross-section of the handle portion is an equilateral trapezoid.

[0007] The present invention further provides that the upper bottom width of the handle portion is 4-6mm, the lower bottom width of the handle portion is 6-8mm, and the height of the handle portion is 18-22mm.

[0008] The present invention further provides that the corners of the handle portion are set at right angles or rounded corners.

[0009] The present invention further provides that the surface area of ​​the insertion aid portion accounts for 10% of the surface area of ​​the handle portion.

[0010] In a further embodiment of this invention, the handle portion and the insertion aid portion are integrally formed.

[0011] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, by providing a handle and an insertion aid, the handle is designed to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is used by the patient to hold it. The large contact area of ​​the fingers makes it easy to exert force. The insertion aid is located at the lower end of the handle and is sharp and conical, used to pierce the aluminum cap of the oral liquid bottle. Thus, when the patient holds the handle, they can easily find the point of force and then place the insertion aid against the aluminum cap of the oral liquid bottle. Under the action of external force, the insertion aid just pierces the aluminum cap, but does not damage the gasket under the aluminum cap. The patient then uses a straw to pierce the gasket, avoiding the insertion aid from piercing both the aluminum cap and the gasket at the same time. Therefore, the advantages of a large contact area of ​​the handle and no damage to the gasket during puncture are achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0018] This embodiment relates to an insertion aid device, as shown in the following figure. Figure 2The device includes a handle 1, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, for the user to grip, and an insertion aid 2, located at the lower end of the handle 1 and shaped like a sharp cone. The insertion aid 2 is used to puncture the aluminum cap of the oral liquid bottle. The handle 1's ergonomic design allows the patient to grip the device firmly, providing a comfortable grip point and helping the patient concentrate their strength on the insertion aid 2 for effective puncture. The insertion aid 2 is sharp and conical to better penetrate the aluminum cap of the oral liquid bottle. When the bottle needs to be opened, the patient can hold the handle 1, align the insertion aid 2 with a specific location on the center or edge of the aluminum cap, and then apply appropriate downward pressure. Because the insertion aid 2 is sharp and conical, it can generate greater pressure over a smaller contact area, easily piercing the aluminum cap and opening the bottle. At the same time, it does not damage the pad under the aluminum cap. The patient then punctures the pad through the suction tube, avoiding the insertion part 2 puncturing both the aluminum cap and the pad at the same time. Therefore, it achieves a large contact area of ​​the handle part 1 while the insertion part 2 does not damage the pad during puncture, and also avoids the risk of pad debris or the entire pad falling off the puncture site and into the medication.

[0019] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The length of the insertion aid 2 is 4mm. When the insertion aid 2 just pierces the aluminum cap, it is exactly 2mm long, leaving a safe distance from the gasket. When the insertion aid 2 extends further until it is engaged with the bottom 12 of the handle, it is exactly 4mm long. At this point, the tip of the insertion aid 2 is just touching the gasket, which appears as a white dot but is not broken – the optimal state. The patient can then pierce the gasket using the straw. Therefore, the length of the insertion aid 2 is sufficient to penetrate the aluminum cap of most oral liquid bottles while maintaining sufficient strength to ensure it will not easily break during use. In other embodiments, the length of the insertion aid 2 can also be 2.5mm, 3cm, or 3.5cm, as long as the length of the insertion aid 2 is within the range of 2-4mm; no specific limitation is made here.

[0020] In this embodiment, the handle portion 1 is in the shape of an equilateral trapezoid. The trapezoidal handle portion 1 is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, which is more in line with people's gripping habits. When the patient holds it, their fingers can naturally fit against the handle, improving gripping comfort.

[0021] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2The upper bottom 11 of the handle part 1 is 5mm wide, the lower bottom 12 of the handle part 1 is 7mm wide, and the height 13 of the handle part 1 is 20mm. The narrower upper bottom 11 and the wider lower bottom 12 allow the patient to naturally place their fingers on the lower part of the handle when gripping, forming a comfortable grip posture. The wider lower bottom 12 also provides a larger support surface. The height 13 is moderate, ensuring that the user has enough space to grip the handle without making it feel bulky due to excessive height. In other embodiments, the width of the upper bottom 11 can also be 4mm or 6mm, as long as the width of the upper bottom 11 is within the range of 4-6mm. The width of the lower bottom 12 can also be 6mm or 8mm, as long as the width of the lower bottom 12 is within the range of 6-8mm. The width of the height 13 can also be 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, or 22mm, as long as the width of the upper bottom 11 is within the range of 18-22mm. No specific limitation is made here.

[0022] In this embodiment, the corners of the handle portion 1 are rounded, which reduces pressure marks on the palm and fingers when holding the handle portion 1, making the grip more comfortable. Sharp edges and corners, on the other hand, can cause cuts or scratches to the palm and fingers during use. In other embodiments, the corners of the handle portion 1 may also be right angles.

[0023] In this embodiment, the surface area of ​​the insertion aid 2 accounts for 10% of the surface area of ​​the handle 1. This smaller proportion does not affect the puncture capability of the insertion aid 2, while maintaining sufficient area of ​​the handle 1 to provide a good grip.

[0024] In this embodiment, the handle part 1 and the insertion aid part 2 are integrally formed, making the entire insertion aid device more robust and durable, and reducing the risk of breakage.

[0025] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
