Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tampons, specifically to a tampon applicator structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are various feminine hygiene products sold and supplied on the market, such as traditional menstrual belts, toilet paper, and tampons. These products are only for absorbing menstrual blood during menstruation and do not provide antibacterial or deodorizing effects. They are also bulky and inconvenient to use, usually placed inside the crotch of underwear, which causes friction between the groin and vulva during movement, hindering and causing discomfort for women during menstruation. Tampons, used vaginally, are well-known and have been used for a long time. Tampons are generally made of fibers, usually cotton fibers or regenerated cellulose fibers, such as viscose fibers.

[0003] Since tampons require an applicator to guide them into the vagina, first-time users or those unfamiliar with the process may insert the tampon directly, causing severe discomfort and potentially even physical injury. Therefore, this invention provides an applicator structure for tampons. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please continue reading. Figure 1-3 The catheter holder 100, which serves as a placement chamber, has an internal threaded groove 110 inside. The internal threaded groove 110 serves as a guide groove and is screwed into the external threaded groove 221 to guide the adjustment component 200. The top of the catheter holder 100 is connected to the insertion end 130.

[0029] The insertion end 130 is bullet-shaped and includes several valve units. Each valve unit is smoothly bent towards the inside of the outer tube, and the valve units are spliced ​​together to form a complete insertion end. There is a splicing seam between two adjacent valve units.

[0030] Please continue reading. Figure 1-3 The adjusting component 200 is placed inside the applicator holder 100 and engages with the internal thread groove 110 to achieve step-by-step delivery of tampons (not shown in the figure);

[0031] The adjustment component 200 includes a connecting rod 210 as the connecting middle, and a sealing seat 220 is integrally formed at the top of the connecting rod 210. The outer side of the sealing seat 220 is provided with an external threaded groove 221 that is screwed into the internal threaded groove 110 (the pitch of the internal threaded groove 110 and the external threaded groove 221 is set so that it can be rotated 2-3 times to reach the top). The external threaded groove 221 and the internal threaded groove 110 are screwed into each other, which can realize the operation of step-by-step delivery of tampons and avoid the situation of direct insertion of tampons to the point of discomfort due to first-time use or unfamiliarity with the use.

[0032] The bottom end of the connecting rod 210 is integrally formed and connected to the rotating seat 230. The outer side of the rotating seat 230 is connected to the handle 231. The connecting rod 210 has a through hole 211 that is compatible with the cotton swab pull cord. The through hole 211 passes through the sealing seat 220 and the rotating seat 230.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figure 1-2 The top of the guide frame 100 is provided with a cap 300 corresponding to the insertion end 130. The inner side of the cap 300 is symmetrically and integrally connected with two sets of card seats 310, and the outer side of the guide frame 100 is provided with a card groove 120 that engages with the card seats 310. The cap 330 isolates and protects the insertion end 130, so as to prevent the insertion end 130 from being contaminated by the external environment for a long time before use.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, the external threaded groove 221 and the internal threaded groove 110 are screwed together to guide the tampons placed in the applicator holder 100, enabling the step-by-step delivery of tampons.
