Earpick cover

Abstract

To provide an earpick cover. [Solution] This earpick is configured so that at least the tip is covered with a cylindrical body made of a flexible sheet-like material. This allows for efficient earwax removal through friction, while also providing a soft feel on the ear, improving safety. The cylindrical body is detachable, washable, and replaceable. It can be designed to cover the entire earpick or have a finger ring at the open end, making it a hygienic, environmentally friendly, and reusable daily item with a wide range of uses. Conventional earpicks are often made of hard materials such as bamboo or metal, which can be stressful on the ear. Furthermore, their hardness can sometimes prevent sufficient earwax removal. Furthermore, cleaning after use primarily involves wiping off earwax that has adhered to the earpick surface, posing challenges in terms of reusability and hygiene. This device aims to solve these problems.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ear picks and relates to a cover that covers the ear pick body with a flexible sheet-like material. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional earpicks have been widely used and are made from hard materials such as bamboo, metal, and plastic. Bamboo and metal are hard and may damage the ear canal, while plastic has a smooth surface that may not adequately remove earwax. Furthermore, these earpicks tend to require simple cleaning after use, which poses issues in terms of hygiene and reusability. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] No non-patent literature Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Conventional earpicks are hard and may injure the ear, and because of their hardness, they are sometimes unable to adequately remove earwax. Furthermore, they are not easy to clean after use and are not hygienic, making repeated use problematic. The objective of this invention is to provide an earpick cover that covers the tip or entire earpick with a flexible sheet-like material, which can efficiently remove earwax while reducing strain on the ear, and can be washed or replaced for hygienic use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The earpick has a cylindrical body made of a flexible sheet material that covers at least the tip of the earpick body. The cylindrical body is detachable from the earpick body and can be washed or replaced for repeated use. The cylindrical body may be long and cover the entire length of the earpick body, and may further have a ring at the open end for the user's finger to be placed over. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to this device, the frictional force of the flexible sheet-like material allows for efficient earwax removal, and the soft feel against the ear improves safety. The cover is detachable from the earpick body and can be washed or replaced for repeated use, ensuring hygiene. Furthermore, if the cover is designed to cover the entire earpick, it can be worn securely, and if it is equipped with a finger ring, it can prevent the earpick from falling and improve operability. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows the earpick body with the cloth cover attached to the tip. [Figure 2] Figure 2 shows the earpick body with the cloth cover attached, covering the entire length. [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows the state in which a ring portion is attached to a cloth cover that covers the entire length of the earpick body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the tip of the earpick body is covered with a cylindrical cap (tip cover) made of a flexible sheet-like material. The cap can be fitted over the tip of the earpick in a cylindrical shape, is removable, and can be washed or replaced after use and reused. The flexible sheet-like material can be cloth, nonwoven fabric, knitted fabric, mesh material, or thin polymer material. In another embodiment, the earpick may be covered with a long cover that covers the entire length of the earpick body. In this case, the cover covers not only the tip but also the shaft, making it less likely to slip during use and providing a soft grip. As a further modification, a ring portion for hooking a finger may be provided at the open end of the cover. The material of the ring portion is not particularly limited, and may be selected appropriately from cloth, elastic material, or the like. [Example]

[0010] Example 1 A cylindrical cap (tip cover) made of cotton or a blended fabric is attached to the tip of the earpick body. The cap can be removed and washed after use, allowing for repeated use. The fabric can be a stretchy knit fabric made of cotton or a polyester blend, and dark colors such as black can also be used if necessary. The friction of the fabric makes it easy to catch and remove earwax, and it is also soft against the ear, making it highly safe.

[0011] Example 2 A long cover is used that covers the entire length of the earpick body. By covering the entire earpick from the tip to the grip, it fits securely and does not slip off during use. In addition, the cloth on the grip makes it easier to hold and improves the feel of operation.

[0012] Example 3 A ring for hooking a finger is formed integrally at the open end of the long cover. The ring is made of cloth or elastic material, and by passing a user's finger through it, the earpick is less likely to fall off, further improving operability. [Industrial Applicability]

[0013] This device can be widely used as a household ear pick and can be safely used by people of all ages. The cover can be washed and reused repeatedly, making it an environmentally friendly everyday item. It can also be used in the fields of hygiene products and nursing care.
