생리컵 보관용기 및 이를 포함하는 생리컵 조립체Menstrual cup storage container and menstrual cup assembly including same
본 발명은 생리컵 보관용기 및 이를 포함하는 생리컵 조립체에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 생리컵을 콤팩트하게 보관하거나 소독할 수 있고, 사용이 편리한 생리컵 보관용기 및 이를 포함하는 생리컵 조립체에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a menstrual cup storage container and a menstrual cup assembly including the same, and more particularly, to a menstrual cup storage container capable of compactly storing or sterilizing a menstrual cup and convenient to use, and a menstrual cup assembly including the same will be.
일반적으로 여성의 생리용품은 속옷 내측에 부착하여 사용하는 패드식 생리대와 여성의 질 내부로 삽입하여 사용하는 삽입형 생리대가 주류를 이루고 있다.In general, women's sanitary napkins are mainly pad-type sanitary napkins attached to the inner side of underwear and insertion-type sanitary napkins used by inserting into a woman's vagina.
패드식 생리대는 흡수력이 우수하고 두께가 얇다는 등의 장점을 가지고 있으나, 착용 후 활동 시에 쉽게 움직여 자유로운 동작이나 운동 등에 제약이 따르는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 패드식 생리대는 수면 중에도 의식적으로 움직임을 자제해야 하는 등의 단점을 가지고 있으며, 특히 착용시 피부와 닿는 면이 화학 재질로 이루어지기 때문에 피부자극 또는 가려움증 등의 신체적 불편감을 유발할 수 있다.Pad-type sanitary napkins have advantages such as excellent absorption and thin thickness, but there is a problem in that they are easily moved during activities after wearing, and there is a limitation in free movement or movement. In addition, pad-type sanitary napkins have disadvantages such as having to consciously refrain from movement even during sleep, and in particular, when worn, because the surface in contact with the skin is made of a chemical material, it may cause physical discomfort such as skin irritation or itching.
삽입형 생리대는 패드형 생리대에 비하여 생리혈이 새어 나오는 현상을 유효하게 방지할 수 있기 때문에 생리 기간 중에도 자유롭게 활동할 수 있으나, 화학성분으로 제작된 삽입형 생리대로부터 발생되는 유해 물질에 의하여 독성쇼크증후군이라는 치명적인 심각한 합병증을 유발시키기도 한다.Insert-type sanitary napkins can effectively prevent the leakage of menstrual blood compared to pad-type sanitary napkins, so you can work freely during menstruation. may also induce
특히, 패드식 생리대 및 삽입형 생리대의 경우 재사용이 불가능한 일회성 제품으로 만들어지기 때문에 환경오염이 발생할 뿐만 아니라, 다량의 쓰레기 배출에 따른 처리비용 등으로 인하여 경제적인 부담이 늘어나는 실정이다.In particular, in the case of pad-type sanitary napkins and insert-type sanitary napkins, since they are made as disposable products that cannot be reused, not only environmental pollution occurs, but also the economic burden increases due to disposal costs caused by discharging a large amount of waste.
이러한 패드식 생리대 및 삽입형 생리대의 여러 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 최근에는 실리콘 재질로 제작되어 재사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 여성의 질 내부로 삽입되어 생리혈을 수용하는 방식으로 여성의 자유로운 활동을 보장할 수 있는 삽입형 생리컵이 제안되고 있다.In order to solve the various problems of these pad-type sanitary napkins and insert-type sanitary napkins, recently, they are made of silicone material that can be reused and inserted into a woman's vagina to receive menstrual blood, thereby ensuring women's free activities. An insertable menstrual cup has been proposed.
한편, 생리컵은 위생상 보관용기에 보관되어야 하는데, 종래의 보관용기는 크기가 커서 휴대 시 불편함이 있다. 또한, 생리컵을 살균하기 위해서는 별도의 살균용기를 구비해야 하므로 경제적 부담이 있다.On the other hand, the menstrual cup must be stored in a storage container for hygiene reasons, and the conventional storage container is inconvenient to carry due to its large size. In addition, in order to sterilize the menstrual cup, there is an economic burden because a separate sterilization container must be provided.

도 6의 (a)에서 바와 같이, 생리컵(500)의 손잡이부(520)가 상측을 향하고 컵부(510)의 상단부(511)는 하측으로 향하도록 생리컵(500)이 뒤집어진 상태에서, 용기부(100)에는 컵부(510)의 개방된 상단부(511)가 놓일 수 있다.As shown in (a) of FIG. 6 , in a state in which the menstrual cup 500 is turned over so that the handle 520 of the menstrual cup 500 faces upward and the upper end 511 of the cup 510 faces downward, The open upper end 511 of the cup part 510 may be placed on the container part 100 .
그러면, 컵부(510)의 개방된 상단부(511)는 돌기(130)에 올려질 수 있으며, 돌기(130)는 컵부(510)의 개방된 상단부(511)를 지지할 수 있다. 이때, 돌기(130)는 이격되어 배치된 상태이기 때문에, 컵부(510)의 상단부(511)는 돌기(130)에 의해 부분적으로 지지될 수 있으며, 컵부(510)의 상단부(511) 및 용기 몸체(110)의 바닥면(115) 사이에는 통기 공간(131)이 형성될 수 있다.Then, the open upper end 511 of the cup part 510 may be mounted on the protrusion 130 , and the protrusion 130 may support the open upper end 511 of the cup part 510 . At this time, since the protrusions 130 are spaced apart from each other, the upper end 511 of the cup portion 510 may be partially supported by the protrusions 130 , and the upper end 511 of the cup portion 510 and the container body. A ventilation space 131 may be formed between the bottom surfaces 115 of the 110 .
컵부(510)의 상단부(511) 전체가 용기 몸체(110)의 바닥면(115)에 달라붙게 되면, 컵부(510)의 내부에 음압이 형성될 수 있으며, 이 경우, 생리컵(500)이 용기부(100)에서 잘 분리되지 않을 수 있다. 돌기(130)는 컵부(510)의 상단부(511)가 용기 몸체(110)의 바닥면(115)에 전체적으로 밀착되지 않도록 하여, 컵부(510)의 상단부(511) 및 용기 몸체(110)의 바닥면(115)이 서로 달라붙어 컵부(510)의 내부에 음압이 형성되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. When the entire upper end 511 of the cup portion 510 adheres to the bottom surface 115 of the container body 110 , a negative pressure may be formed inside the cup portion 510 . In this case, the menstrual cup 500 is It may not be well separated from the container part 100 . The protrusion 130 prevents the upper end 511 of the cup portion 510 from being in close contact with the bottom surface 115 of the container body 110 as a whole, and the upper end 511 of the cup portion 510 and the bottom of the container body 110 . It is possible to prevent negative pressure from being formed inside the cup portion 510 by sticking the surfaces 115 to each other.
뿐만 아니라, 상기 통기 공간(131)은 생리컵(500)의 소독 및 세척시 물, 증기 또는 전자기파가 컵부(510)의 내부공간으로 유입되는 통로역할을 하게 되어 컵부(510)의 내측면도 깨끗하에 소독 및 세척될 수 있도록 한다.In addition, the ventilation space 131 serves as a passage through which water, steam, or electromagnetic waves are introduced into the inner space of the cup portion 510 during disinfection and cleaning of the menstrual cup 500 , so that the inner surface of the cup portion 510 is also clean. to be disinfected and cleaned.
그리고, 생리컵(500)이 뒤집어진 상태로 용기부(100)에 놓여진 상태에서, 커버부(200)는 가압구(230)의 삽입홀(231)에 손잡이부(520)가 삽입되도록 하고, 가압구(230)가 컵부(510)의 하단부(512)를 가압하도록 하면서 용기부(100)에 결합될 수 있다. 삽입홀(231)은 손잡이부(520)의 외측지름보다 큰 내측지름을 가지도록 형성될 수 있으며, 따라서, 커버부(200)의 제2나사산(221)과 용기부(100)의 제1나사산(121)이 나사 결합되는 과정에서 생리컵(500)은 회전되지 않고 고정된 상태가 유지될 수 있다.And, in a state in which the menstrual cup 500 is placed on the container part 100 in an upside-down state, the cover part 200 allows the handle part 520 to be inserted into the insertion hole 231 of the pressing tool 230, The pressure tool 230 may be coupled to the container unit 100 while pressing the lower end 512 of the cup unit 510 . The insertion hole 231 may be formed to have an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the handle part 520 , and thus, the second screw thread 221 of the cover part 200 and the first screw thread of the container part 100 . In the process in which the 121 is screwed, the menstrual cup 500 may be maintained in a fixed state without being rotated.
본 발명은 상술한 실시예에 한정되지 않고, 가압구(230)의 하단면은 볼록하게 만곡진 형상을 가질 수 있다. 가압구(230)의 하단면이 볼록하게 만곡진 형상을 가짐으로 인하여 제1 나사산(121)과 제2 나사산(221)이 나사 결합되거나 나사 결합이 해제되는 과정에서 커버부(200) 전체가 회전할 때 가압구(230)의 하단면과 접촉된 컵부(510)의 외측면이 손상되는 것을 줄일 수 있게 된다.The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the lower surface of the pressing tool 230 may have a convexly curved shape. Due to the fact that the lower surface of the pressing tool 230 has a convexly curved shape, the first screw thread 121 and the second screw thread 221 are screwed together or the cover part 200 is completely rotated in the process of releasing the screw coupling. When doing so, it is possible to reduce damage to the outer surface of the cup portion 510 in contact with the lower surface of the pressing tool 230 .
가압구(230)가 컵부(510)의 하단부(512)를 가압하게 되면, 컵부(510)는 다중으로 접히게 되고, 커버부(200) 및 용기부(100)의 결합이 완료되었을 때, 생리컵(500)은 높이가 낮아진 상태로 용기부(100)의 내측에 보관될 수 있다(도 6의 (b) 참조). 생리컵(500)이 접힌 상태에서 생리컵의 접힌 높이는 용기부(100)와 커버부(200)가 결합된 상태에서의 돌기(130)의 상면과 커버(210)의 하면(211) 사이의 높이보다 낮거나 동일하게 형성된다. 이에 따라, 생리컵 보관용기는 생리컵(500)을 콤팩트하게 보관할 수 있고, 전체 크기가 감소되어 휴대가 용이할 수 있다.When the pressure tool 230 presses the lower end 512 of the cup unit 510 , the cup unit 510 is folded multiple, and when the coupling of the cover unit 200 and the container unit 100 is completed, menstruation The cup 500 may be stored inside the container part 100 in a state in which the height is lowered (refer to (b) of FIG. 6). When the menstrual cup 500 is folded, the folded height of the menstrual cup is the height between the upper surface of the protrusion 130 and the lower surface 211 of the cover 210 when the container part 100 and the cover part 200 are combined. formed less or equal. Accordingly, the menstrual cup storage container can store the menstrual cup 500 compactly, and the overall size can be reduced to facilitate portability.
그리고, 컵부(510)는 제1주름(515) 및 제2주름(516)을 가질 수 있다.In addition, the cup part 510 may have a first pleat 515 and a second pleat 516 .
제1 주름(515)과 제2 주름(516)은 컵부가 이중으로 접힐 수 있도록 컵부의 두께 중심선을 기준으로 서로 반대면에 형성될 수 있다. 즉, 제1 주름(515)과 제2 주름(516) 중 어느 하나는 컵부(510)의 내주면에 형성되고, 나머지 하나는 컵부(510)의 외주면에 형성될 수 있다. The first pleats 515 and the second pleats 516 may be formed on opposite surfaces of the cup portion based on the thickness center line of the cup portion so that the cup portion can be double folded. That is, one of the first wrinkle 515 and the second wrinkle 516 may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cup part 510 , and the other one may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cup part 510 .
일례로, 제1주름(515)은 컵부(510)의 하부 외주면에 원주방향을 따라 함몰 형성될 수 있다. 그리고, 제2주름(516)은 컵부(510)의 상부 내주면에 원주방향을 따라 함몰 형성될 수 있다. For example, the first pleats 515 may be recessed along the circumferential direction on the lower outer circumferential surface of the cup portion 510 . In addition, the second pleats 516 may be recessed along the circumferential direction in the upper inner circumferential surface of the cup portion 510 .
제1주름(515)은 컵부(510)의 외주면에 형성될 수 있기 때문에, 외력이 가해지면 컵부(510)가 외측으로 접히도록 유도할 수 있다. 그리고, 제2주름(516)은 컵부(510)의 내주면에 형성될 수 있기 때문에, 외력이 가해지면 컵부(510)가 내측으로 접히도록 유도할 수 있다. 따라서, 생리컵(500)이 뒤집힌 상태에서 가압구(230)가 컵부(510)를 가압하게 되면 컵부(510)는 제1주름(515) 및 제2주름(516)에서 자연스럽게 접힐 수 있다. Since the first wrinkle 515 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cup portion 510 , when an external force is applied, the cup portion 510 may be induced to be folded outwardly. In addition, since the second wrinkle 516 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cup portion 510 , when an external force is applied, the cup portion 510 may be induced to fold inward. Accordingly, when the pressure tool 230 presses the cup portion 510 in a state in which the menstrual cup 500 is turned over, the cup portion 510 may naturally fold at the first folds 515 and the second folds 516 .
한편, 용기부(100) 및 커버부(200)는 끓는 물에 담기거나, 또는 전자기파에 노출되더라도 손상 및 변형이 발생하지 않고, 유해 물질을 발생하지 않는 소재로 형성될 수 있다. 이를 통해, 생리컵 보관용기는 내측에 생리컵(500)을 수용한 상태에서 끓는 물에 담기거나, 또는 전자레인지에 의한 살균 또는 소독 공정이 가능할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 별도의 살균용기를 구비하지 않아도 되므로 경제적 부담이 줄어들도록 할 수 있다.On the other hand, the container part 100 and the cover part 200 may be made of a material that does not cause damage or deformation even when immersed in boiling water or exposed to electromagnetic waves, and does not generate harmful substances. Through this, the menstrual cup storage container may be immersed in boiling water while accommodating the menstrual cup 500 inside, or it may be sterilized or disinfected by a microwave oven. Therefore, the economic burden can be reduced.
용기 몸체(110)에 형성되는 통공부(140)는 내측에 생리컵(500)을 수용한 생리컵 보관용기가 끓는 물에 담길 때, 끓는 물이 용기부(100)의 내측으로 유입되도록 할 수 있기 때문에, 용기부(100)에 커버부(200)가 결합된 상태에서도 살균, 소독이 가능할 수 있다.The through part 140 formed in the container body 110 may allow boiling water to flow into the inner side of the container part 100 when the menstrual cup storage container accommodating the menstrual cup 500 inside is immersed in boiling water. Therefore, even in a state in which the cover part 200 is coupled to the container part 100, sterilization and disinfection may be possible.
또한, 통공부(140)는 생리컵 보관용기의 기밀이 발생하지 않도록 하기 때문에, 용기부(100)에 물을 채운 후 전자레인지 넣고 전자레인지를 작동하여 물을 가열함으로써 살균 또는 소독 공정을 진행 시에, 끓는 물에 의해 생리컵 보관용기가 폭발되는 것이 예방되도록 할 수 있다.In addition, since the through part 140 prevents airtightness of the menstrual cup storage container from occurring, after filling the container part 100 with water, put it in a microwave oven and operate the microwave oven to heat the water to perform a sterilization or disinfection process. In addition, it is possible to prevent the menstrual cup storage container from being exploded by boiling water.
