Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper tube technology, and in particular to a paper tube with a slit and a paper tube for tampons. Background Technology

[0002] Tampons, also known as sanitary tampons, are cylindrical cotton tampons, primarily made of cotton, synthetic fibers, or a blend of both. Tampons typically have a spherical end and a pull cord at the other. Before using a tampon, wash your hands thoroughly. Take out a tampon, untie the end with the string, and straighten it. Then, put your index finger on the finger cot provided in the packaging, place it in the umbrella-shaped groove, and pinch the tampon with your thumb. Choose a comfortable position and gently push the spherical end of the tampon in with your index finger. To replace, pull the tampon out using the pull cord.

[0003] Tampons require manual contact during use, necessitating the wearing of an index finger cot, which is inconvenient and cumbersome to put on and use. Currently, some tampons are inserted into an applicator and pushed into the vagina, after which the plastic applicator is removed. However, the high cost of plastic applicators increases the price of tampons, hindering market promotion and competition. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, this utility model provides a paper tube with a slit and a paper guide tube for tampons, which is convenient to use, simple to operate, does not require wearing additional finger cots, and has a relatively low cost compared to products made of other materials, making it more competitive in the market.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A paper tube with slits includes a tube body, wherein a plurality of slits are arranged around one end of the tube body, and a bendable portion is formed between two adjacent slits.

[0007] As an improved technical solution, the cut includes a strip groove, the length of which is not greater than the radius of the tube body.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the cut also includes a conical groove, which is located at the end of the tube and communicates with the strip groove.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the inner diameter of the tube is not less than the diameter of the tampon.

[0010] A tampon applicator includes a slit paper tube, a tampon is movably disposed within the inner cavity of the slit paper tube, the spherical end of the tampon abuts against the bent portion of the slit paper tube, the other end of the tampon abuts against an applicator, the applicator is slidably installed within the inner cavity of the slit paper tube, and the pull cord of the tampon extends to the outer side of the applicator away from the end of the slit paper tube.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, a locking buckle is also provided at the connection between the slit paper tube and the guide tube.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the latch includes a first through hole and a second through hole, wherein the first through hole and the second through hole are correspondingly provided;

[0013] The first through hole is located at the end of the paper tube with the slit away from the bending part, and the second through hole is located on the guide tube. A stop is provided on the side wall of the first through hole near the end of the paper tube with the slit. The stop extends toward the second through hole, and part of the stop is inserted into the second through hole.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, the paper tube with slits is further provided with several pressure grooves at one end near the guide tube, and the locking buckle is provided at the pressure grooves.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, all of the aforementioned pressure grooves are arranged in a ring structure.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] By setting a paper tube with slits, the paper tube with slits includes a tube body, and a number of slits are arranged around one end of the tube body. A bendable part is formed between two adjacent slits. The slits facilitate manual bending of the bendable part. By bending the bendable part closed, the bendable part can fit into the spherical end of the tampon, thereby fixing the spherical end of the tampon.

[0018] By designing the length of the strip groove to be no greater than the radius of the tube body, the bending parts will not touch each other when bending. The cut also includes a conical groove that connects to the strip groove. By setting the conical groove, the bending parts can approach each other after bending without contacting or colliding, forming a flower bud-like shape, which is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0019] By designing the inner diameter of the tube to be no less than the diameter of the tampon, the tampon can move within the tube when subjected to external force.

[0020] A tampon is movably installed inside the slit paper tube. The spherical end of the tampon abuts against the bent part of the slit paper tube, and the other end of the tampon abuts against an applicator. The applicator is slidably installed inside the slit paper tube. The applicator facilitates pushing the tampon out of the slit paper tube.

[0021] By setting a locking buckle at the connection between the slit paper tube and the guide tube, the guide tube can only move inside the slit paper tube, preventing the guide tube from coming out of the slit paper tube, making it convenient to use;

[0022] By arranging several pressure grooves at one end of the paper tube with incisions near the catheter, the internal tampons can be confined by the pressure grooves. At the same time, the pressure grooves enhance the structural strength of the connection between the paper tube with incisions and the catheter.

[0023] In summary, this utility model provides a paper tube with a slit and a paper guide tube for tampons, which is convenient to use, simple to operate, does not require wearing additional finger cots, and has a relatively low cost compared to products made of other materials, making it more competitive in the market.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a paper tube 100 with slits includes a tube body 1. A plurality of slits 2 are arranged around one end of the tube body 1. A bendable portion 3 is formed between two adjacent slits 2. In this embodiment, eight slits 2 are arranged at equal intervals around the circumference. The slits 2 facilitate manual bending of the bendable portion 3. By bending the bendable portion 3 closed, the bendable portion 3 can fit into the spherical end 601 of the tampon 6, thereby fixing the spherical end 601 of the tampon 6.

[0038] like Figures 1-3As shown, the cut 2 includes a strip groove 4. The length of the strip groove 4 is not greater than the radius of the tube body 1. By designing the length of the strip groove 4 to be no greater than the radius of the tube body 1, the bending parts 3 will not touch each other when bending.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the cut 2 also includes a conical groove 5, which is located at the end of the tube body 1. The conical groove 5 is connected to the strip groove 4. By setting the conical groove 5, the bent parts 3 can be brought close to each other after bending without contacting or colliding, forming a shape similar to a flower bud, which is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the inner diameter of the tube 1 is not less than the diameter of the tampon 6, so that the tampon 6 can move within the inner cavity of the tube 1.

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a paper applicator for tampons includes a paper tube 100 with a slit. A tampon 6 is movably disposed inside the inner cavity of the paper tube 100 with the slit. The spherical end 601 of the tampon 6 abuts against the bent portion 3 of the paper tube 100 with the slit. During assembly, after the tampon 6 is placed inside the paper tube 100 with the slit, the bent portion 3 is bent so that the bent portion 3 fits against the spherical end 601 of the tampon 6, thereby limiting the position of the tampon 6. The other end of the tampon 6 abuts against an applicator 7. The applicator 7 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the paper tube 100 with the slit. The applicator 7 facilitates the pushing of the tampon 6 out of the paper tube 100 with the slit. The pull cord 602 of the tampon 6 extends to the outer side of the applicator 7 away from the end of the paper tube 100 with the slit.

[0042] like Figures 4-6 As shown, a locking buckle 8 is provided at the connection between the paper tube 100 with the slit and the conduit 7. By setting the locking buckle 8 at the connection between the paper tube 100 with the slit and the conduit 7, the conduit 7 can only move within the cavity of the paper tube 100 with the slit, preventing the conduit 7 from coming out of the paper tube 100 with the slit, making it convenient to use.

[0043] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the latch 8 includes a first through hole 801 and a second through hole 802, with the first through hole 801 and the second through hole 802 being provided correspondingly;

[0044] A first through hole 801 is located at the end of the paper tube 100 with a slit, away from the bending part 3. A second through hole 802 is located on the guide tube 7. A stop part 803 is provided on the side wall of the first through hole 801 near the end of the paper tube 100 with a slit. The stop part 803 extends towards the second through hole 802, and a portion of the stop part 803 is inserted into the second through hole 802. Since a portion of the stop part 803 is inserted into the second through hole 802, it can limit the movement of the guide tube 7. To prevent the conduit 7 from freely detaching from the slit paper tube 100, in this embodiment, the stop portion 803 is formed by pressing down the edge of the first through hole 801 of the slit paper tube 100, and the stop portion 803 is provided on the side of the first through hole 801 near the end of the slit paper tube 100. Therefore, the stop portion 803 can prevent the conduit 7 from detaching from the slit paper tube 100 without affecting the insertion of the conduit 7 into the inner cavity of the slit paper tube 100.

[0045] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the paper tube 100 with a slit is also provided with several pressure grooves 9 near the end of the tube 7. The locking buckle 8 is provided at the pressure groove 9. By setting the pressure groove 9, the sanitary tampon 6 inside can be limited. At the same time, by setting the pressure groove 9, the structural strength of the connection between the paper tube 100 with the slit and the tube 7 is enhanced.

[0046] like Figures 4-5 As shown, several pressure grooves 9 are arranged in a ring structure.

[0047] For ease of understanding, the working process of this embodiment is described below:

[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, firstly, the tampon 6 is placed inside the paper tube 100 with a slit, and the bending part 3 of the paper tube 100 with a slit is bent to form a shape similar to a flower bud, so that the bending part 3 can fit into the spherical end 601 of the tampon 6. The pull cord 602 of the tampon 6 passes through the applicator 7, and the applicator 7 is fitted into the paper tube 100 with a slit. The second through hole 802 of the applicator 7 is inserted into the stop part 803 on the first through hole 801 of the paper tube 100 with a slit, thereby limiting the applicator 7 and preventing the applicator 7 from freely detaching from the paper tube 100 with a slit.

[0049] When in use, push the catheter 7 along the inner lumen of the paper tube 100 with the incision. As the catheter 7 moves, it pushes the tampon 6 to open the bend 3, gradually detaching it and entering the body. Afterward, remove the paper tube 100 with the incision and the catheter 7 at the same time.

[0050] In summary, this utility model provides a paper tube with a slit and a paper guide tube for tampons, which is convenient to use, simple to operate, does not require additional finger cots, and has a relatively low cost compared to products made of other materials, making it more competitive in the market.

[0051] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
