Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for creating a piercing using a resin tube for a piercing hole such as a human earlobe.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, when a piercing hole (piercing hole) formed in a human body such as a person's earlobe becomes purulent due to a piercer or the like, the only option was to remove the piercing body from the piercing hole and close the piercing hole by natural healing. Therefore, "silicone ring treatment" that does not close the piercing hole has been proposed, which can heal the purulent condition of the piercing hole and complete the piercing hole in about one month, and has since become a standard treatment used in many clinics. The colors of the silicone tubes include red, blue, yellow, etc., as well as inconspicuous transparent ones.

[0003] In the case of "silicone ring treatment", when the piercing hole is provided in cartilage, a thick-sized silicone tube is used and tied so that the ends do not come out to form a knot, but there is a problem that the knot loosens and easily comes undone in the middle. Therefore, a method has also been adopted in which small metal rings are used to tighten both ends of the silicone tube to give a neat finish in appearance.

[0004] Also, if the piercing hole formed by a piercer or the like can be healed even when it becomes purulent, there has been a desire to perform piercing (first piercing) with a silicone tube from the beginning. The silicone tube is tied so that the ends do not come out to form a knot, but there are drawbacks such that the knot loosens and easily comes undone in the middle, or even if it does not loosen, the knot looks unsightly.

[0005] Personally, when trying to create a silicone tube piercing using commercially available silicone tubing, it is difficult to insert the silicone tubing directly into the piercing hole. One might consider using the shaft of a commercially available body piercing (barbell piercing) and inserting it into the end of the silicone tubing, essentially using the shaft as a resin tube piercing insert. However, since the outer diameter of the shaft and the outer diameter of the silicone tubing are different, a step will be created, which can catch on the piercing hole and cause the silicone tubing to slip out. Furthermore, even if the silicone tubing does go through, tying a knot directly with your fingers to prevent it from slipping out is a very difficult task.

[0006] Here, a technology is disclosed for safely and hygienically maintaining a small hole formed in the earlobe or the like using a protective device for ear piercings, which is made of a resin material and has a rod-shaped portion that can be inserted into a small hole for piercing formed in the earlobe or the like, and a flange portion provided at one end of the rod-shaped portion that has a maximum width greater than the thickness of the rod-shaped portion (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-178705 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] However, the ear piercing protector described in Patent Document 1 above is, for example, inserted into a small hole formed in the earlobe, and its tip is fitted into a fastener made of a resin material harmless to the human body, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone, polypropylene, olefin elastomer, styrene elastomer, and polyester elastomer, to secure it. Therefore, a separate fastener is required, making the structure complex. Furthermore, because it is a rod-shaped part, depending on the position of the small hole formed in the earlobe, etc., there was a problem in that it could not be easily, safely, or aesthetically maintained in an inserted state due to the uneven shape of the inside of the ear.

[0009] The objective of this invention is to enable the simple, safe, and aesthetically pleasing creation of resin tube earrings, while also reducing costs. Ta tree The objective is to provide a grease tube piercing insert and a resin tube piercing creation kit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] The resin tube piercing insert of the present invention is From the front end to the rear end, in order: A first insertion part used in thin resin tubes for thin piercing holes, It is equipped with a second insertion part used for thick resin tubes for thick piercing holes, The first insertion part is, A first narrow tapered section that tapers toward the tip, A second tapered section for fine applications is provided on the rear end side of the first tapered section for fine applications, which tapers toward the rear end. The second fine tapered section is provided with a fine extension section that extends toward the rear end, The maximum diameter of the second fine tapered section is formed to be smaller than the maximum diameter of the first fine tapered section. The second insertion part is, The first tapered section for thicker blades is tapered towards the tip, The first wide tapered section has a second wide tapered section that tapers toward the rear end, The second wide tapered section is provided with a wide extension section that extends toward the rear end, The maximum diameter of the second tapered section for thicker pipes is formed to be smaller than the maximum diameter of the first tapered section for thicker pipes. The maximum diameter of the first narrow tapered section is formed to be smaller than the maximum diameter of the first wide tapered section. For larger piercing holes, the large extension section and the second large tapered section are inserted into one end of the large resin tube and connected. Alternatively, for smaller piercing holes, the connection between the rear end of the small extension section and the tip of the first large tapered section is released, and the small extension section and the second small tapered section are inserted into one end of the small resin tube using only the first insertion section and connected. The first thin tapered section is inserted into the piercing hole of the human body from its tip end, and is also passed through a resin tube from the tip end of the first thin tapered section and then through a crimping device that hangs down.

[0014] The resin tube piercing kit of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned resin tube piercing insert, a resin tube, and a substantially ring-shaped crimping tool. [Effects of the Invention]

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the resin tube pierce inserter 1 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The resin tube pierce inserter 1 includes, in order from the tip side (the right side in FIG. 1) to the rear end side (the left side in FIG. 1), a first insertion part 11 (see FIG. 3) used for a thin resin tube 2 for a thin pierce hole H, and a second insertion part 12 (see FIG. 3) used for a thick resin tube 2 for a thick pierce hole H. The resin tube pierce inserter 1 may be made of resin or the like (for example, a resin material harmless to the human body such as polytetrafluoroethylene, silicon, polypropylene, olefin-based elastomer, styrene-based elastomer, and polyester-based elastomer, which have been conventionally known), and may be colored blue or the like. Conventional metal tube pierce inserters are sterilized and reused, but conversely, they are not suitable in terms of price for general consumers who use them only once. By making them of resin or the like, mass production can be achieved at a low cost (cost reduction), and a product acceptable to general consumers can be realized.

[0018] The first insertion portion 11 includes a first narrow tapered portion 111 that tapers toward the tip, a second narrow tapered portion 112 that tapers toward the rear end on the rear end side of the first narrow tapered portion 111, and a narrow extension portion 113 that extends toward the rear end on the rear end side of the second narrow tapered portion 112. The maximum diameter of the second narrow tapered section 112 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the first narrow tapered section 111.

[0019] The second insertion section 12 is It comprises a first thick tapered section 121 that tapers toward the tip, a second thick tapered section 122 that tapers toward the rear end on the rear end side of the first thick tapered section 121, and a thick extended section 123 that extends toward the rear end on the rear end side of the second thick tapered section 122. The maximum diameter of the second tapered section 122 for thicker pipes is smaller than the maximum diameter of the first tapered section 121 for thicker pipes.

[0020] Furthermore, the maximum diameter of the first narrow tapered section 111 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the first wide tapered section 121. This allows for switching between corresponding diameters using a wide resin tube 2 for wide piercing holes H and a narrow resin tube 2 for narrow piercing holes H, as described below.

[0021] If the piercing hole H is a large piercing hole (for example, a piercing hole for a 14G = 1.6mm piercing), a large resin tube 2 (for example, with a diameter of 1.5mm) is used, and the large extension portion 123 and the second large tapered portion 122 are inserted into one end of the large resin tube 2 to connect the large resin tube 2 and the resin tube piercing insert 1.

[0022] If the piercing hole H is a narrow piercing hole (for example, a piercing hole for a 16G = 1.2mm piercing), the resin tube 2 will be a narrow resin tube (for example, with a diameter of 1.0mm). Therefore, the connection between the rear end of the narrow extension portion 113 and the tip of the first wide tapered portion 121 will be cut and released using, for example, a predetermined cutting tool C such as scissors, the second insertion portion 12 will be separated, and the narrow extension portion 113 and the second narrow tapered portion 112 will be inserted into one end of the narrow resin tube 2 using only the first insertion portion 11 to connect the narrow resin tube 2 and the resin tube piercing insert 1.

[0023] An example of the length and diameter dimensions of each part of the resin tube piercing insert 1 is shown in Figure 2.

[0024] The following describes in detail, with reference to Figures 4 and 5, how to create a resin tube earring using a resin tube earring creation kit consisting of a resin tube earring insert 1, a resin tube 2, and a roughly ring-shaped crimping device (metal fitting, etc.) 3 of this embodiment. This assumes that the piercing hole H is formed in the ear. It is also advisable to wash and disinfect your hands with medicated soap before performing the procedure.

[0025] First, let's explain the case where the piercing hole H is a wide piercing hole (for example, a piercing hole for a 14G = 1.6mm earring), and the resin tube 2 is a wide resin tube (for example, with a diameter of 1.5mm). The wide resin tube 2 is often used mainly for cartilage.

[0026] First, the thick extension portion 123 and the second thick tapered portion 122 are inserted into one end of the resin tube 2 to connect the resin tube 2 and the resin tube piercing insert 1 (Step 1). Next, tie the resin tube 2 to the other end to form a knot 21 (Step 2). Next, pass the crimping tool 3 through the resin tube 2 (step 3). Note that the order of steps 1 through 3 is arbitrary.

[0027] Next, insert the resin tube piercing insert 1 into the piercing hole H of the human body from the tip side of the first thin tapered section 111 (see also Step 4, Figure 4(a)). With conventional metal tube piercing inserts, it can be difficult to insert them into certain areas due to the uneven shape of the ear, and they may get stuck, preventing them from being inserted all the way in. Forcing them in also carries the risk of damaging the insertion point or other parts of the body. However, with the resin tube piercing insert 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to insert it while bending it at the connection point between the rear end of the thin extension section 113 and the tip of the first thick tapered section 121 to avoid bumps, which is a remarkable advantage. Next, while appropriately pulling the resin tube earring insert 1, pass the resin tube 2, which is connected to the resin tube earring insert 1, through the earring hole H (step 5). Note that a knot 21 is formed on the other end of the resin tube 2 and functions as a stopper, so it will not pass through the earring hole H.

[0028] Next, the resin tube piercing insert 1 is passed through the resin tube 2 from the tip side 111 of the first thin tapered section and then through the roughly ring-shaped crimping device 3 that is hanging down (step 6). The roughly ring-shaped crimping device 3 has a hole sized to allow the resin tube 2 to pass through twice and is made of a material (for example, metal) with sufficient strength to be crimped with a predetermined crimping tool P. Next, the resin tube 2 connected to the resin tube piercing insert 1 is passed through the crimping tool 3 (step 7).

[0029] Next, as shown in Figure 5(a), the crimping tool 3 is crimped using a predetermined crimping tool P (for example, needle-nose pliers, which can be easily and inexpensively obtained at a 100-yen shop, etc.) at a position where the resin tube 2 forms a roughly ring shape of the desired size (adjustable by pulling both ends of the resin tube 2) (Step 8). By making the resin tube 2 into a roughly ring shape of the desired size, a high level of fashionability can be achieved. Alternatively, after crimping (crushing) the crimping tool 3, it may be necessary to pull both ends of the resin tube 2 to check for any looseness.

[0030] Then, as shown in Figure 5(b), the excess ends of the resin tube 2 are cut off with a predetermined cutting tool C (for example, scissors that can be easily and inexpensively obtained at a 100-yen shop, etc.) to separate and remove them, completing the ring-shaped resin tube piercing (Step 9). Note that by ensuring that the excess portion of the resin tube 2 that is separated and removed is long enough, it becomes possible to form a second ring-shaped resin tube piercing in a predetermined piercing hole H in the human body.

[0031] The following section describes the case where the piercing hole H is a narrow piercing hole (for example, a piercing hole for a 16G = 1.2mm earring), and the resin tube 2 is a narrow resin tube (for example, with a diameter of 1.0mm). The narrow resin tube 2 is often used for purposes other than cartilage.

[0032] First, the connection between the rear end of the thin extension section 113 and the tip of the first thick tapered section 121 is released by cutting it with a predetermined cutting tool C, such as scissors, and the second insertion section 12 is separated. Using only the first insertion section 11, the thin extension section 113 and the second thin tapered section 112 are inserted into one end of the resin tube 2 to connect the resin tube 2 and the resin tube piercing insert 1 (step 11). Next, tie the resin tube 2 to the other end to form a knot 21 (step 12). Next, pass the crimping tool 3 through the resin tube 2 (step 13). Note that the order of steps 11 to 13 is arbitrary.

[0033] Next, insert the resin tube piercing insert 1 into the piercing hole H of the human body from the tip end of the first narrow tapered section 111 (see also step 14, Figure 4(b)). Next, while appropriately pulling the resin tube earring insert 1, pass the resin tube 2, which is connected to the resin tube earring insert 1, through the earring hole H (step 15). Note that a knot 21 is formed on the other end of the resin tube 2 and functions as a stopper, so it will not pass through the earring hole H.

[0034] Next, the resin tube piercing insert 1 is passed through the resin tube 2 from the tip side 111 of the first thin tapered section and through the roughly ring-shaped crimping device 3 that is hanging down (step 16). The roughly ring-shaped crimping device 3 has a hole sized to allow the resin tube 2 to pass through twice and is made of a material (for example, metal) with sufficient strength to be crimped with a predetermined crimping tool P. Next, the resin tube 2 connected to the resin tube piercing insert 1 is passed through the crimping tool 3 (step 17).

[0035] Next, as shown in Figure 5(a), the crimping tool 3 is crimped using a predetermined crimping tool P (for example, needle-nose pliers, which can be easily and inexpensively obtained at a 100-yen shop, etc.) at a position where the resin tube 2 forms a roughly ring shape of the desired size (adjustable by pulling both ends of the resin tube 2) (step 18). A high level of fashionability can be achieved by making the resin tube 2 into a roughly ring shape of the desired size. Alternatively, after crimping (crushing) the crimping tool 3, it may be necessary to pull both ends of the resin tube 2 to check for any looseness.

[0036] Then, as shown in Figure 5(b), the excess ends of the resin tube 2 are cut off with a predetermined cutting tool C (for example, scissors that can be easily and inexpensively obtained at a 100-yen shop, etc.) to separate and remove them, completing the ring-shaped resin tube piercing (step 19). Note that by ensuring that the excess portion of the resin tube 2 that is separated and removed is long enough, it becomes possible to form a second ring-shaped resin tube piercing in a predetermined piercing hole H in the human body.

[0037] The following describes in detail, with reference to Figure 6, how to create a resin tube earring using a resin tube earring creation kit consisting of a resin tube earring insert 1, a resin tube 2, a substantially ring-shaped crimping device (metal fitting, etc.) 3, and a piercing hole forming needle (soft needle) 4 (piercing hole forming needle body 41) equipped with a sheath portion 42. If piercing holes created by piercing guns or similar devices can heal even if they become infected, then this would cater to the demand for using silicone tubes for piercing (first piercings) from the very beginning. Furthermore, as mentioned above Resin tube earring insert The resin tube earring creation kit consists of 1, a resin tube 2, and a roughly ring-shaped crimping device (metal fitting, etc.) 3. The process for creating resin tube earrings using this kit is essentially the same as the standard method, so redundant explanations will be omitted, and only the distinctive steps will be detailed. Furthermore, since there is no significant difference between the thick and thin resin tubes 2, they will be explained together.

[0038] First, the steps 1(11) through 3(13) above are the same, and their order is arbitrary.

[0039] Next, as shown in Figure 6(a), the piercing needle 4, which has a sheath portion 42, is inserted into the human body and pierced to form a piercing hole (step 24). Next, as shown in Figure 6(b), the piercing needle body 41 is withdrawn from the sheath 42 while only the sheath 42 remains inserted through the body (step 25). Note that the order of steps 24 and 25 and steps 1(11) to 3(13) described above is arbitrary.

[0040] Next, insert the resin tube piercing insert 1 into the sheath portion 42 that penetrates the human body from the tip side of the first narrow tapered portion 111 (see also step 26, Figure 6(c)). Next, while removing the sheath 42 from the body, the resin tube 2 connected to the resin tube piercing insert 1 is passed through the piercing hole H (step 27). A knot 21 is formed on the other end of the resin tube 2, which functions as a stopper, so it will not pass through the piercing hole H.

[0041] The following steps are the same as steps 6(16) through 9(19) above.

[0042] In the following section, we will describe in detail, with reference to Figure 7, other methods for creating resin tube earrings using the resin tube earring creation kit of this embodiment, which consists of a resin tube earring insert 1, a resin tube 2, and a substantially ring-shaped crimping device (metal fitting, etc.) 3. Rather than pursuing fashionability by making resin tube earrings into a ring shape, this product addresses the desire for earrings that are as inconspicuous as possible. Furthermore, as mentioned above Resin tube earring insert The resin tube earring creation kit consists of 1, a resin tube 2, and a roughly ring-shaped crimping device (metal fitting, etc.) 3. The process for creating resin tube earrings using this kit is essentially the same as the standard method, so redundant explanations will be omitted, and only the distinctive steps will be detailed. Furthermore, since there is no significant difference between the thick and thin resin tubes 2, they will be explained together.

[0043] First, the steps 1(11) through 5(15) above are the same, and their order is arbitrary.

[0044] Next, as shown in Figure 7, the crimping tool 3 is passed through the resin tube 2 (step 36). Note that the order of steps 1(11) through 5(15) described above is arbitrary. Next, at a position where the resin tube 2 is the desired length, the crimping tool 3 is crimped with a predetermined crimping tool P near the piercing hole H (step 37). Note that a knot 21 is formed on the other end of the resin tube 2 and functions as a stopper, so it will not pass through the piercing hole H. Next, the excess end of the resin tube 2 is cut off and separated using the designated cutting tool C to complete a short, nearly straight resin tube piercing (step 38).

[0045] The resin tube piercing creation method using the resin tube piercing creation kit including the resin tube piercing insert 1 of the above embodiment provides a technology for creating resin tube piercings that are easy, safe, and aesthetically pleasing, while also reducing costs.

[0046] Furthermore, although not given hereby exemplified, the present invention may be implemented with various modifications, including changes to the number, size, position, material, and shape of each component, without departing from its spirit. Of course, if the order of the steps of the method can be changed to produce substantially the same effect, such a sequence of steps is also within the scope of the present invention.
