Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a horny layer remover, and more particularly to a horny layer remover that can be used after being folded.

Background Art

[0002] There are scraping type, electrically driven type, and foot-wearing type horny layer removers.

[0003] Although the scraping type has the advantage of being easy to use, it has the disadvantage that the user has to apply force himself. The electrically driven type is convenient because the user does not have to apply force, but it has the disadvantages of high cost. In addition, the foot-wearing type takes two to three weeks for the effect to appear, and has the disadvantage of poor usability in summer.

[0004] In particular, as an example of the scraping type, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2006-0054571 discloses a horny layer remover having uneven portions formed on the bottom surface of the tip of a grippable rod.

[0005] The above-mentioned rod-shaped horny layer remover is such that the user holds the handle formed at the base end of the rod and contacts the uneven portions with the horny layer portion of the user's foot and rubs to remove the horny layer existing in the horny layer portion.

[0006] However, in public facilities such as public baths and bath saunas, since there are many users, it is inevitable that a large number of the above-mentioned rod-shaped horny layer removers are provided. However, even if an attempt is made to provide a large number of the above-mentioned rod-shaped horny layer removers in public facilities, the above-mentioned rod-shaped horny layer removers are expensive and have the disadvantage of taking up a large area for installation.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The present invention provides a horny substance remover in which a foldable thin metal plate material is cut into an I-shaped blank so that a user can fold it and wear it on one of his / her fingers, uneven portions are formed on the back surface of the cut blank out of the front and back surfaces, and wearing state holding means for holding the state of being worn on one of the user's fingers is formed on the blank, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems.

Effects of the Invention

[0009] With the means for solving the problems as described above, since the horny substance remover is a blank made of a thin metal plate material, it can be manufactured at a low cost. Since the blanks of the horny substance remover are stacked in multiple sheets in a single-sheet manner, it does not require a large storage space. Since the blank of the horny substance remover can be folded according to the thickness of the user's finger, it has excellent wearability, can be manufactured at a very low cost, is disposable and easy to use, and moreover, since it can be recycled, it can be easily incorporated into communal facilities such as public baths and bath saunas.

[0010] In addition, in the present invention, not only can horny substance removal and horny substance extraction be performed by the horny substance remover immediately after washing off the horny substance removal site in various postures such as a standing posture and a sitting posture of the user, but also since the horny substance remover is made of a recyclable metal material instead of a plastic material which has been pointed out as a major culprit of environmental pollution recently, environmental pollution can be prevented.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, the horny skin remover according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0013] In FIG. 1, a blank 100 that is folded to form a horny skin remover according to this embodiment is shown as reference numeral 100.

[0014] The blank 100 is formed by cutting a foldable thin metal plate material into an I shape so that the user can fold it and wear it on one of their fingers.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blank 100 is disposed on the front side in the direction in which the user's finger extends, and a front panel 10 of a rectangle having a horizontal side 11 parallel to the direction in which the user's finger extends and having a length shorter than that of a vertical side 12 perpendicular to the direction in which the user's finger extends; a rear panel 20 of a rectangle that is disposed on the rear side in the direction in which the user's finger extends, has a horizontal side 21 parallel to the direction in which the user's finger extends and has a length shorter than that of a vertical side 22 perpendicular to the direction in which the user's finger extends, and has a larger area than the front panel 10; and an intermediate panel 30 that is interposed between the front panel 10 and the rear panel 20, extends in a direction parallel to the direction in which the user's finger extends, and has both ends integrally connected to the central portion of the vertical side 12 of the front panel 10 and the central portion of the vertical side 22 of the rear panel 20.

[0016] In addition, at the corner portion where one end of each of the two horizontal sides 31, 31 of the intermediate panel 30 is connected to the vertical side 12 of the front panel 10, a pair of first C-shaped cutout portions 41 are formed to facilitate folding. Also, at the corner portion where the other end of each of the two horizontal sides 31, 31 of the intermediate panel 30 is connected to the vertical side 22 of the rear panel 20, a pair of second C-shaped cutout portions 42 are formed to facilitate folding.

[0017] Furthermore, the horizontal sides 11, 11 and vertical sides 12, 12 of the front panel 10, the horizontal sides 21, 21 and vertical sides 22, 22 of the rear panel 20, and the horizontal sides 31, 31 of the intermediate panel 30 are folded back and rolled up toward the surface (upper surface) of the blank 100 to prevent the user from being injured.

[0018] Furthermore, in the direction in which the vertical side 12 of the front panel 10 extends, at the central portion of the bottom surface (outer surface when worn) of the blank 100, there are formed uneven portions 43 that are continuous with the adjacent portions of the front panel 10 and the rear panel 20 adjacent to the intermediate panel 30 and the portion of the intermediate panel 30, and that have a size and shape such that the cutin can be removed.

[0019] In addition to these, the blank 100 is provided with a wearing state holding means 50 for holding the state of being worn on one finger of the user.

[0020] The wearing state holding means 50 includes a pair of a plurality of female through-holes 51 formed in the front panel 10 with the uneven portion 43 interposed therebetween and at intervals in the direction in which the vertical side 12 of the front panel 10 extends, and when the intermediate panel 30 is folded back upward around the intermediate portion in the direction in which the user's finger extends for wearing on one finger of the user, a pair of male protrusions 52 having a size and shape that can be inserted into and coupled to any one pair of the female through-holes 51 among the pair of a plurality of female through-holes 51, at the portion of the rear panel 20 facing the pair of a plurality of female through-holes 51.

[0021] Each of the pair of a plurality of female through-holes 51 is a long slot-shaped hole in the direction in which the horizontal side 11 of the front panel 10 extends.

[0022] Each of the pair of male protrusions 52 has a size and shape that can be inserted into and latched to the female through-hole 51. For this purpose, each of the pair of male protrusions 52 has a through-hole 52a of an arch locus formed by punching in a part of the rear panel 20, and an end support piece 52b that is incidentally generated by the formation of the through-hole 52a of the arch locus, and a bent piece 52b that is folded back above the surface of the blank 100 and on the side away from the through-hole 52a of the arch locus.

[0023] Also, on the upper surface (inner surface when worn) of the boundary part between the rear panel 20 and the intermediate panel 30, and on the upper surface (inner surface when worn) at the center of the proximal end side of the rear panel 20, a roughness part 23 is formed to provide anti-slip between the wearing finger of the wearer and the horny remover in the worn state.

[0024] The blank 100 having the above configuration can be worn on one finger of a user as shown in FIG. 3.

[0025] First, with the surface side of the blank 100 facing upward, place the tip of one finger of the user on a location where the pair of multiple female through-holes 51 can be positioned facing the pair of male protrusions 52, and at a location beyond the tip joint part, which is the most forward among the multiple joint parts formed on the palm side (palm side) of one finger of the user, where the proximal end of the rear panel 20 is located.

[0026] Next, fold the intermediate panel 30 so that the surface of the front panel 10 abuts against the nail of the above finger, and press the front panel 10 downward.

[0027] Next, bend the part of the front panel 10 with the uneven part 43 in between so as to wrap around both side surfaces of the one finger.

[0028] Next, while bending the portion of the rear panel 20 sandwiching the uneven portion 43 so as to wrap both side surfaces of the single finger, among the pair of a plurality of female through-holes 51, the pair of male protrusions 52 are inserted into any pair of single female through-holes 51 facing each other.

[0029] Next, if the pair of male protrusions 52 are moved in a direction away from the uneven portion 43 with respect to any pair of single female through-holes 51 so that the bent piece 52b is hooked on one side of the single female through-hole 51b, the posture of the blank 100 in a state of being worn on a single finger of the user is stably maintained. As a result, it becomes a horny remover and the horny layer of the user can be removed.

[0030] When the user finishes the work of removing, shaving, or exfoliating the cutin, in the reverse order of the above procedure, after releasing the wearing state on a single finger of the user, it is discarded.

[0031] Since the horny remover having the above configuration is a blank 100 made of a thin metal plate material, it can be manufactured at a low cost. Since the blanks of the horny remover are stacked in multiple sheets in a single-sheet manner, it does not require a large storage space. Since the blank of the horny remover can be folded according to the thickness of the user's finger, it has excellent wearability, can be manufactured at a very low cost, is disposable and easy to use, and can be recycled. Therefore, it can be easily adopted in communal facilities such as public baths and bath saunas.

[0032] In addition, since the horny remover having the above configuration is a single product, it can be easily recycled. It enables easy rubbing while washing the feet in various postures such as a standing posture without having to sit on a chair. In addition to being usable over a long period compared to the manufacturing cost, since it is coupled by a snap type, when hooked according to the joints of the fingers, the phenomena of slip prevention and detachment prevention can be suppressed as much as possible. Since the peripheral portion is rounded, it can be handled without causing injury.

[0033] Furthermore, since the horny layer removing tool having the above-described configuration is made of a recyclable metal material instead of a plastic material that has been pointed out as the main culprit of recent environmental pollution, environmental pollution can be prevented.

[0034] In the description of the above embodiment, it has been described that the horny layer removing tool is provided as the blank 100. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for the convenience of the user, it may be provided in a folded state with the wearing state holding means 50 in a state where the coupling is released.

[0035] Also, in the description of the above embodiment, it has been described that the female through-hole 51 of the wearing state holding means 50 is formed in the front panel 10 and the male protrusion 52 is formed in the rear panel 20. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the female through-hole 51 of the wearing state holding means 50 may be formed in the rear panel 20 and the male protrusion 52 may be formed in the front panel 10.

[0036] Furthermore, in the description of the above embodiment, it has been described that the uneven portion 43 formed at the central portion of the bottom surface of the blank 100 is formed in the order of the portion of the front panel 10 adjacent to the intermediate panel 30, the portion of the intermediate panel 30, and the portion of the rear panel 20 adjacent to the intermediate panel 30 in the direction in which the horizontal side 11 of the front panel 10 extends. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of flat portions 43a may be formed at intervals in the direction in which the horizontal side 11 extends in the portion of the front panel 10 and the intermediate panel 30. At this time, since the roughness of the uneven portion 43 is not uniform as a whole, it is suitable from the aspect that the user can select and use the roughness of the uneven portion 43.
