The fitting member 20 has a cylindrical shape in which the front end 20a is closed and the rear end 20b is opened during use. The distal end portion 20a is a region having a certain area including the apex of the fitting member 20, and covers the fingertip of the finger when the fitting member 20 is fitted on the finger. The rear end portion 20b is an annular portion that serves as a finger insertion slot.
嵌装部材20の長さd3は、例えば、3~8cm程度である。また、嵌装部材20の径d4は、例えば、1~2cm程度である。複数の嵌装部材20の全てが同一の長さを有していてもよいし、複数の嵌装部材20のうち少なくとも2つが相異なる長さを有していてもよい。また、複数の嵌装部材20の全てが同一の径を有していてもよいし、複数の嵌装部材20のうち少なくとも2つが相異なる径を有していてもよい。嵌装部材20は、柔軟性を有しており、潰れた状態(嵌装部材20の内面どうしが接触した状態)で袋体10に収容されている。嵌装部材20は、伸縮性も有していることが好ましい。
The length d3 of the fitting member 20 is, for example, about 3 to 8 cm. Further, the diameter d4 of the fitting member 20 is, for example, about 1 to 2 cm. All of the plurality of fitting members 20 may have the same length, or at least two of the plurality of fitting members 20 may have different lengths. Further, all of the plurality of fitting members 20 may have the same diameter, or at least two of the plurality of fitting members 20 may have different diameters. The fitting member 20 has flexibility, and is accommodated in the bag body 10 in a crushed state (a state where inner surfaces of the fitting member 20 are in contact with each other). It is preferable that the fitting member 20 also has stretchability.
図3は、図2のIII-III線に沿った端面図である。嵌装部材20は、内面層22及び外面層24からなる。内面層22は、嵌装部材20の内面を構成する層である。内面層22は、嵌装部材20の内面の全体にわたって設けられている。内面層22は、防水性を有する材料からなり、薬剤を透過させたり吸収したりしない。内面層22の材料としては、例えば、プラスチックを用いることができる。
FIG. 3 is an end view taken along line III-III in FIG. The fitting member 20 includes an inner surface layer 22 and an outer surface layer 24. The inner surface layer 22 is a layer constituting the inner surface of the fitting member 20. The inner surface layer 22 is provided over the entire inner surface of the fitting member 20. The inner surface layer 22 is made of a waterproof material and does not allow the drug to permeate or absorb. As a material of the inner surface layer 22, for example, plastic can be used.
外面層24は、嵌装部材20の外面を構成する層である。外面層24は、嵌装部材20の外面の全体にわたって設けられている。外面層24は、吸水性を有する材料からなり、薬剤を吸収する。外面層24は、後述するように、歯を磨くための歯磨き部として機能する。すなわち、本実施形態においては、嵌装部材20の外面の全体に歯磨き部が設けられている。ただし、歯ブラシと異なり、嵌装部材20にブラシは設けられていない。外面層24の摩擦係数は、嵌装部材20の内面(内面層22)の摩擦係数よりも大きい。外面層24の表面粗さ(Ra)は、嵌装部材20の内面の表面粗さよりも大きい。外面層24には、凹凸が形成されていることが好ましい。また、外面層24は、内面層22よりも柔らかい材料からなることが好ましい。外面層24の材料としては、例えば、不織布、コットン(ガーゼ)、レーヨン、ラテックス、又は合成繊維を用いることができる。合成繊維としては、例えば、ナイロン、ポリエステル、ポリウレタン等が挙げられる。
The outer surface layer 24 is a layer constituting the outer surface of the fitting member 20. The outer surface layer 24 is provided over the entire outer surface of the fitting member 20. The outer surface layer 24 is made of a material having water absorbability and absorbs the drug. As will be described later, the outer surface layer 24 functions as a toothbrushing portion for brushing teeth. That is, in this embodiment, the toothbrushing portion is provided on the entire outer surface of the fitting member 20. However, unlike the toothbrush, the fitting member 20 is not provided with a brush. The friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the friction coefficient of the inner surface (inner surface layer 22) of the fitting member 20. The surface roughness (Ra) of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the surface roughness of the inner surface of the fitting member 20. The outer surface layer 24 is preferably provided with irregularities. The outer surface layer 24 is preferably made of a material softer than the inner surface layer 22. As a material of the outer surface layer 24, for example, a nonwoven fabric, cotton (gauze), rayon, latex, or synthetic fiber can be used. Examples of synthetic fibers include nylon, polyester, and polyurethane.
図1に戻って、口腔ケア具1の使用方法の一例を説明する。まず、切り口13から袋体10を開封する。このとき、概ね開封予定部12に沿って袋体10が切断されるようにする。その後、ジッパー14を開けて、袋体10から取り出した薬剤で口をゆすぐ。さらに、袋体10から取り出した嵌装部材20を手指(例えば人差し指)に被せる。このように手指に嵌装された嵌装部材20の歯磨き部(外面層24)で歯を擦ることにより、歯を磨くことができる。
Referring back to FIG. 1, an example of how to use the oral care device 1 will be described. First, the bag body 10 is opened from the cut end 13. At this time, the bag body 10 is cut substantially along the scheduled opening portion 12. Thereafter, the zipper 14 is opened and the mouth is rinsed with the medicine taken out from the bag body 10. Further, the fitting member 20 taken out from the bag body 10 is put on a finger (for example, an index finger). Thus, the teeth can be brushed by rubbing the teeth with the tooth brushing portion (outer surface layer 24) of the fitting member 20 fitted on the finger.
口腔ケア具1の効果を説明する。口腔ケア具1においては、袋体10に、口腔用の薬剤が収容されている。このため、袋体10から取り出した薬剤で口内を洗浄することができる。さらに、袋体10には、手指に嵌装される嵌装部材20も収容されている。嵌装部材20の外面には、歯磨き部が設けられている。このため、嵌装部材20を手指に嵌めて歯磨き部で歯を擦ることにより、歯磨きを行うことができる。このように、口腔ケア具1によれば、薬剤による口内の洗浄だけでなく、歯磨きをも行うことができる。したがって、口腔のケアを充分に行うことのできる口腔ケア具1が実現されている。かかる口腔ケア具1は、人の歯に限らず、ペット等の動物の歯を磨くのにも好適に使用することができる。
The effect of the oral care device 1 will be described. In the oral care device 1, an oral medicine is accommodated in the bag body 10. For this reason, the inside of the mouth can be washed with the medicine taken out from the bag body 10. Furthermore, the bag member 10 also accommodates a fitting member 20 to be fitted to the fingers. A toothpaste portion is provided on the outer surface of the fitting member 20. For this reason, toothpaste can be performed by fitting the fitting member 20 on a finger and rubbing teeth at the toothpaste portion. Thus, according to the oral care device 1, not only cleaning of the mouth with a medicine but also tooth brushing can be performed. Therefore, the oral care device 1 that can sufficiently perform oral care is realized. The oral care device 1 can be suitably used not only for human teeth but also for brushing the teeth of animals such as pets.
このように口腔ケア具1によれば、歯ブラシ等の歯磨き具を別に用意しなくても、口内の洗浄から歯磨きまでの一連の口腔ケアを実行することができる。それゆえ、口腔ケア具1を携帯していれば、外出先でも充分な口腔ケアを行うことが可能である。例えば、旅行先は勿論、飛行機や列車の中でも口腔ケア具1を用いて口腔ケアを行うことができる。かかる口腔ケア具1は、避難所においても好適に用いることができるため、防災グッズとしても役立つ。
As described above, according to the oral care device 1, a series of oral care from the cleaning of the mouth to the brushing can be performed without separately preparing a toothbrush such as a toothbrush. Therefore, if the oral care device 1 is carried, sufficient oral care can be performed even on the go. For example, oral care can be performed using the oral care device 1 in an airplane or train as well as a travel destination. Since the oral care device 1 can be suitably used in an evacuation center, it is also useful as a disaster prevention goods.
嵌装部材20は、筒状をしている。かかる形状の嵌装部材20は、手指にフィットさせやすいという利点がある。特に嵌装部材20は、先端部20aが閉塞されている。これにより、指先が先端部20aで覆われることになる。このため、歯磨き部で歯を磨く際、当該指先が口内に触れるのを防ぐことができ、衛生的である。
The fitting member 20 has a cylindrical shape. The fitting member 20 having such a shape has an advantage that it can be easily fitted to fingers. In particular, the fitting member 20 is closed at the tip 20a. Thereby, a fingertip is covered with the front-end | tip part 20a. For this reason, when brushing a tooth with a toothpaste part, it can prevent that the said fingertip touches a mouth, and is hygienic.
嵌装部材20が伸縮性を有する場合、手指に対して嵌装部材20を一層フィットさせやすくなる。また、袋体10内に嵌装部材20をコンパクトに収容できるという利点もある。嵌装部材20をコンパクトに収容できれば、袋体10を過度に大きくしなくても、袋体10に多数(例えば10個程度)の嵌装部材20を収容しやすくなる。
When the fitting member 20 has elasticity, it becomes easier to fit the fitting member 20 to fingers. Further, there is an advantage that the fitting member 20 can be accommodated in the bag body 10 in a compact manner. If the fitting member 20 can be accommodated in a compact manner, it becomes easy to accommodate a large number (for example, about 10) of the fitting members 20 in the bag body 10 without enlarging the bag body 10 excessively.
外面層24の摩擦係数は、内面層22の摩擦係数よりも大きい。このように歯磨き部である外面層24の摩擦係数を大きくすることにより、歯磨き効果を高めることができる。ただし、外面層24の摩擦係数を内面層22のそれよりも大きくすることは、必須でない。
The friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the friction coefficient of the inner surface layer 22. Thus, the tooth brushing effect can be enhanced by increasing the friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 that is the tooth brushing portion. However, it is not essential to make the coefficient of friction of the outer surface layer 24 larger than that of the inner surface layer 22.
外面層24の表面粗さは、内面層22の表面粗さよりも大きい。このように歯磨き部である外面層24の表面粗さを大きくすることによっても、歯磨き効果を高めることができる。ただし、外面層24の表面粗さを内面層22のそれよりも大きくすることは、必須でない。
The surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the surface roughness of the inner surface layer 22. Thus, the tooth brushing effect can also be enhanced by increasing the surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 that is the tooth brushing portion. However, it is not essential to make the surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 larger than that of the inner surface layer 22.
外面層24は、吸水性を有する材料からなっている。この場合、歯磨き部である外面層24に薬剤が含浸した状態で歯を磨くことができるため、歯磨き効果を高めることができる。ただし、外面層24に吸水性をもたせることは、必須でない。
The outer surface layer 24 is made of a material having water absorption. In this case, since the tooth can be brushed in a state where the outer surface layer 24 that is the tooth brushing portion is impregnated with the drug, the tooth brushing effect can be enhanced. However, it is not essential to give the outer surface layer 24 water absorption.
嵌装部材20は、内面層22及び外面層24を有している。このように嵌装部材20の内面を構成する層と外面を構成する層とを別々に設けることにより、各層の機能に応じて最適な材料を選択しやすくなる。例えば、内面層22には防水に適した材料を用いる一方で、外面層24には歯磨きに適した材料を用いることができる。
The fitting member 20 has an inner surface layer 22 and an outer surface layer 24. Thus, by providing separately the layer which comprises the inner surface of the fitting member 20, and the layer which comprises an outer surface, it becomes easy to select an optimal material according to the function of each layer. For example, a material suitable for waterproofing can be used for the inner surface layer 22, while a material suitable for brushing teeth can be used for the outer surface layer 24.
内面層22は、防水性を有する材料からなっている。この場合、嵌装部材20の外面から内面に薬剤が浸透するのを確実に阻止することができる。これにより、歯磨き部で歯を磨く際、嵌装部材20が嵌装された手指に薬剤が付着するのを防ぐことができる。
The inner surface layer 22 is made of a waterproof material. In this case, it is possible to reliably prevent the medicine from penetrating from the outer surface to the inner surface of the fitting member 20. Thereby, when brushing a tooth with a toothpaste part, it can prevent that a chemical | medical agent adheres to the finger | toe with which the fitting member 20 was fitted.
嵌装部材20が袋体10の内面に剥離可能に貼着されている場合、開封前の袋体10内において嵌装部材20を所定の位置に固定しておくことができる。これにより、嵌装部材20が袋体10の底部に片寄る等して、袋体10から嵌装部材20を取り出しにくくなる事態を防ぐことができる。
When the fitting member 20 is detachably attached to the inner surface of the bag body 10, the fitting member 20 can be fixed at a predetermined position in the bag body 10 before opening. Thereby, the situation where it becomes difficult to take out the fitting member 20 from the bag body 10 by the offset of the fitting member 20 to the bottom part of the bag body 10 can be prevented.
袋体10には、複数の嵌装部材20が収容されている。これにより、新しい嵌装部材20を用いて複数回にわたって歯磨きを行うことができる。さらに、2つの嵌装部材20を用いて2本の指で挟むようにして歯を磨くこともできるため、歯の表裏を磨きやすくなる。また、2本の指で同時に歯を磨くことができるため、歯磨きを効率良く行うことができる。
A plurality of fitting members 20 are accommodated in the bag body 10. Thereby, toothpaste can be performed several times using the new fitting member 20. Furthermore, since the teeth can be brushed by using two fitting members 20 so as to be sandwiched between two fingers, the front and back surfaces of the teeth can be easily polished. Moreover, since teeth can be brushed simultaneously with two fingers, tooth brushing can be performed efficiently.
複数の嵌装部材20のうち少なくとも2つが相異なる長さを有している場合、異なる長さを有する手指に対して嵌装部材20をフィットさせやすくなる。すなわち、比較的小さい長さを有する嵌装部材20を比較的短い指(例えば親指)に被せる一方で、比較的大きい長さを有する嵌装部材20を比較的長い指(例えば中指)に被せることにより、それぞれの指に嵌装部材20をフィットさせやすくなる。
When at least two of the plurality of fitting members 20 have different lengths, the fitting member 20 can be easily fitted to fingers having different lengths. That is, the fitting member 20 having a relatively small length is placed on a relatively short finger (for example, the thumb), while the fitting member 20 having a relatively large length is placed on the relatively long finger (for example, the middle finger). This makes it easier to fit the fitting member 20 to each finger.
複数の嵌装部材20のうち少なくとも2つが相異なる径を有している場合、異なる太さを有する手指に対して嵌装部材20をフィットさせやすくなる。すなわち、比較的小さい径を有する嵌装部材20を比較的細い指(例えば中指)に被せる一方で、比較的大きい径を有する嵌装部材20を比較的太い指(例えば親指)に被せることにより、それぞれの指に嵌装部材20をフィットさせやすくなる。
When at least two of the plurality of fitting members 20 have different diameters, the fitting member 20 can be easily fitted to fingers having different thicknesses. That is, by placing the fitting member 20 having a relatively small diameter on a relatively thin finger (for example, the middle finger), while covering the fitting member 20 having a relatively large diameter on a relatively thick finger (for example, the thumb), It becomes easy to fit the fitting member 20 to each finger.
袋体10は、繰り返し開閉可能である。これにより、袋体10から一部の嵌装部材20を取り出した後も、残りの嵌装部材20を袋体10に密閉状態で保管しておくことが容易となる。袋体10は、ジッパー14を有している。これにより、簡易な構造で、繰り返し開閉可能な袋体10を実現することができる。ただし、袋体10が繰り返し開閉可能であることは、必須でない。
(第2実施形態) Thebag body 10 can be opened and closed repeatedly. Thereby, even after taking out some of the fitting members 20 from the bag body 10, it becomes easy to store the remaining fitting members 20 in the bag body 10 in a sealed state. The bag body 10 has a zipper 14. Thereby, the bag body 10 that can be repeatedly opened and closed with a simple structure can be realized. However, it is not essential that the bag 10 can be opened and closed repeatedly.

図4は、本発明による口腔ケア具の第2実施形態を示す正面図である。口腔ケア具2は、口腔のケアに用いられる口腔ケア具であって、袋体10、及び嵌装部材20を備えている。袋体10の構成は、第1実施形態で説明したとおりである。
FIG. 4 is a front view showing a second embodiment of the oral care device according to the present invention. The oral care device 2 is an oral care device used for oral care, and includes a bag body 10 and a fitting member 20. The configuration of the bag body 10 is as described in the first embodiment.
図5は、各嵌装部材20を示す斜視図である。また、図6は、図5のVI-VI線に沿った端面図である。嵌装部材20は、内面層22及び外面層24からなる。本実施形態において外面層24は、内面層22の一部にのみ積層されている。このように、歯磨き部(外面層24)は、嵌装部材20の外面の一部にのみ設けられている。
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing each fitting member 20. FIG. 6 is an end view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. The fitting member 20 includes an inner surface layer 22 and an outer surface layer 24. In the present embodiment, the outer surface layer 24 is laminated only on a part of the inner surface layer 22. Thus, the toothpaste part (outer surface layer 24) is provided only on a part of the outer surface of the fitting member 20.
外面層24は、嵌装部材20の後端部20bよりも先端部20a寄りに設けられている。すなわち、外面層24から先端部20aまでの距離の方が、外面層24から後端部20bまでの距離よりも短い。外面層24は、嵌装部材20の先端部20aまで達する一方で、後端部20bには達しないように設けられている。すなわち、外面層24は、後端部20bを避けるようにして、嵌装部材20の外面の一部にのみ設けられている。
The outer surface layer 24 is provided closer to the front end 20a than the rear end 20b of the fitting member 20. That is, the distance from the outer surface layer 24 to the front end portion 20a is shorter than the distance from the outer surface layer 24 to the rear end portion 20b. The outer surface layer 24 is provided so as to reach the front end portion 20a of the fitting member 20 but not reach the rear end portion 20b. That is, the outer surface layer 24 is provided only on a part of the outer surface of the fitting member 20 so as to avoid the rear end portion 20b.
嵌装部材20の外面における外面層24以外の部分には、内面層22が露出している。すなわち、内面層22の一方の面は嵌装部材20の内面を構成し、内面層22の他方の面の一部(外面層24が積層されていない部分)は、外面層24と共に、嵌装部材20の外面を構成している。外面層24の摩擦係数は、嵌装部材20の外面における外面層24以外の部分(内面層22が露出している部分)の摩擦係数よりも大きい。また、外面層24の表面粗さは、嵌装部材20の外面における上記部分の表面粗さよりも大きい。口腔ケア具2のその他の構成は、口腔ケア具1と同様である。
The inner surface layer 22 is exposed at a portion other than the outer surface layer 24 on the outer surface of the fitting member 20. That is, one surface of the inner surface layer 22 constitutes the inner surface of the fitting member 20, and a part of the other surface of the inner surface layer 22 (a portion where the outer surface layer 24 is not laminated) is fitted together with the outer surface layer 24. The outer surface of the member 20 is comprised. The friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the friction coefficient of a portion other than the outer surface layer 24 on the outer surface of the fitting member 20 (a portion where the inner surface layer 22 is exposed). Further, the surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the surface roughness of the portion on the outer surface of the fitting member 20. Other configurations of the oral care device 2 are the same as those of the oral care device 1.
口腔ケア具2の効果を説明する。歯磨き部(外面層24)は、嵌装部材20の外面の一部にのみ設けられている。これにより、歯磨き部を触ることなく、嵌装部材20を手指に嵌装しやすくなる。つまり、嵌装部材20を一方の手の指に被せる際、嵌装部材20の外面における外面層24以外の部分を他方の手で持つことにより、当該他方の手が歯磨き部に触れてしまうのを回避することができる。このように歯磨き部に手が触れないことは、衛生上の観点から好ましい。
The effect of the oral care device 2 will be described. The toothpaste portion (outer surface layer 24) is provided only on a part of the outer surface of the fitting member 20. Thereby, it becomes easy to fit the fitting member 20 on the fingers without touching the toothpaste portion. That is, when the fitting member 20 is put on the finger of one hand, the other hand touches the toothpaste portion by holding the portion other than the outer surface layer 24 on the outer surface of the fitting member 20 with the other hand. Can be avoided. Thus, it is preferable from a hygiene viewpoint that a hand does not touch a toothpaste part.
外面層24は、嵌装部材20の後端部20bよりも先端部20a寄りに設けられている。このため、外面層24が後端部20b寄りに設けられている場合に比して、嵌装部材20を口内に浅く入れた状態で歯を磨くことができる。嵌装部材20の後端部20b付近は、嵌装部材20を手指に嵌装する際に手が触れる部分である。それゆえ、衛生上の観点から、嵌装部材20を口内に深く入れすぎないようにすることが好ましい。
The outer surface layer 24 is provided closer to the front end 20a than the rear end 20b of the fitting member 20. For this reason, compared with the case where the outer surface layer 24 is provided near the rear end portion 20b, the teeth can be brushed in a state where the fitting member 20 is shallowly placed in the mouth. The vicinity of the rear end portion 20b of the fitting member 20 is a portion that is touched by the hand when the fitting member 20 is fitted to a finger. Therefore, from the viewpoint of hygiene, it is preferable not to place the fitting member 20 too deeply in the mouth.
外面層24は、嵌装部材20の先端部20aまで達するように設けられている。このため、嵌装部材20の先端部20a付近でも歯を磨くことができる。これにより、嵌装部材20が口内に深く入りすぎるのを一層防ぎやすくなる。
The outer surface layer 24 is provided so as to reach the distal end portion 20a of the fitting member 20. For this reason, teeth can be brushed even in the vicinity of the tip 20a of the fitting member 20. Thereby, it becomes easier to prevent the fitting member 20 from entering the mouth too deeply.
外面層24の摩擦係数は、嵌装部材20の外面における外面層24以外の部分の摩擦係数よりも大きい。このように歯磨き部である外面層24の摩擦係数を大きくすることにより、歯磨き効果を高めることができる。
The friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the friction coefficient of a portion other than the outer surface layer 24 on the outer surface of the fitting member 20. Thus, the tooth brushing effect can be enhanced by increasing the friction coefficient of the outer surface layer 24 that is the tooth brushing portion.
外面層24の表面粗さは、嵌装部材20の外面における外面層24以外の部分の表面粗さよりも大きい。このように歯磨き部である外面層24の表面粗さを大きくすることによっても、歯磨き効果を高めることができる。口腔ケア具2のその他の効果は、口腔ケア具1と同様である。
The surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 is larger than the surface roughness of the portion other than the outer surface layer 24 on the outer surface of the fitting member 20. Thus, the tooth brushing effect can also be enhanced by increasing the surface roughness of the outer surface layer 24 that is the tooth brushing portion. Other effects of the oral care device 2 are the same as those of the oral care device 1.
本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、様々な変形が可能である。上記実施形態においては、嵌装部材20の後端部20bが使用前から開放されている場合を例示した。しかし、嵌装部材20は、図7に示すように、使用前は後端部20bが閉塞されており、使用時に後端部20bが開放されるように構成されていてもよい。同図においては、左側が使用前の嵌装部材20を示し、右側が使用時の嵌装部材20を示している。かかる構成の嵌装部材20は、例えば、使用前に後端部20bにおいて嵌装部材20の内面どうしを仮着しておくことにより実現することができる。ここで、仮着とは、嵌装部材20を損傷することなく手で容易に剥がせる程度の力で、嵌装部材20の内面どうしを貼着することをいう。
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. In the said embodiment, the case where the rear-end part 20b of the fitting member 20 was open | released before use was illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. 7, the fitting member 20 may be configured such that the rear end portion 20b is closed before use and the rear end portion 20b is opened during use. In the figure, the left side shows the fitting member 20 before use, and the right side shows the fitting member 20 in use. The fitting member 20 having such a configuration can be realized, for example, by temporarily attaching the inner surfaces of the fitting members 20 at the rear end 20b before use. Here, the temporary attachment means that the inner surfaces of the fitting members 20 are attached to each other with a force that can be easily removed by hand without damaging the fitting members 20.
このように後端部20bが閉塞されている場合、袋体10内において後端部20bから嵌装部材20の内部に薬剤が入り込むのを阻止することができる。これにより、嵌装部材20が嵌装された手指に薬剤が付着するのを防ぐことができる。
In this way, when the rear end portion 20b is closed, it is possible to prevent the medicine from entering the fitting member 20 from the rear end portion 20b in the bag body 10. Thereby, it can prevent that a chemical | medical agent adheres to the finger | toe with which the mounting member 20 was mounted.
上記実施形態においては、嵌装部材20の先端部20aが閉塞されている場合を例示した。しかし、嵌装部材20は、図8に示すように、先端部20aが開放された筒状をしていてもよい。この場合、図9に示すように、嵌装部材20が嵌装された手指90においては、指先が先端部20aから突出してもよい。
In the above embodiment, the case where the distal end portion 20a of the fitting member 20 is closed is illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the fitting member 20 may have a cylindrical shape with the distal end portion 20 a opened. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, in the finger 90 in which the fitting member 20 is fitted, the fingertip may protrude from the tip portion 20a.
上記実施形態においては、嵌装部材20が複数の層(内面層22及び外面層24)からなる場合を例示した。しかし、嵌装部材20は、単一の層からなっていてもよい。その場合、例えば、嵌装部材20の外面の全体又は一部に表面処理(例えば粗面化処理)を施すことにより、歯磨き部を形成してもよい。嵌装部材20の材料としては、例えば、不織布、コットン、レーヨン、ラテックス又は合成繊維を用いることができる。また、伸縮ネットを用いて嵌装部材20を構成してもよい。
In the above embodiment, the case where the fitting member 20 is composed of a plurality of layers (inner surface layer 22 and outer surface layer 24) has been exemplified. However, the fitting member 20 may consist of a single layer. In that case, you may form a toothbrushing part, for example by giving surface treatment (for example, roughening process) to the whole or one part of the outer surface of the fitting member 20. FIG. As a material of the fitting member 20, for example, a nonwoven fabric, cotton, rayon, latex, or synthetic fiber can be used.
