Description

  The present invention relates to a swab package in which a swab and a liquid such as a disinfectant to be impregnated in a cotton ball portion of the swab are separated and accommodated.

  A cotton swab package in which a cotton ball part provided at one or both ends of a swab shaft is impregnated with a liquid such as a disinfectant is hermetically packaged with a non-breathable film. Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 11-155903 and 2006 -This is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 115976. These packages have the convenience that the cotton swab can be taken out of the bag and used immediately, but when stored for a long period of time, the liquid impregnated in the cotton ball part evaporates or becomes unsuitable for use. The liquid that oozes out wets the shaft and tends to cause problems such as sticking to fingers during use.

  In addition, an “affected part disinfection tool” described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-237588 divides a sealed bag body into two storage parts by an easy seal part, and disinfects liquid in one storage part and the other storage It is structured such that a cotton ball for impregnating the liquid is contained in the part and nitrogen gas is enclosed. In use, the other storage portion is pressed to peel off the easy seal portion, and the disinfection liquid pushed out from the peeled portion is included in the cotton ball, and then the bag is broken and the cotton ball is taken out with tweezers etc. . This affected part disinfection tool has a problem that if a tool such as tweezers is not used, the cotton ball cannot be taken out, and if the cotton ball is grasped with a finger without using the tool, the liquid will adhere to the finger.

  In the affected part disinfection tool, a cotton swab can be used instead of a cotton ball, but the liquid pushed out at the same time as the easy seal part is peeled off may wet not only the cotton ball part but also the shaft part. There is.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-174180 discloses a “liquid swab package” with a recess that stores a swab and a chemical solution in an airtight bottom material, and a connecting path that connects the recesses. The top material is crimped and hermetically wrapped so that the part to be peeled off by the twisting force is provided on the connection path, and the cutout part is made narrower than the storage part so that the stress when twisted is concentrated on the connection path. ing. This liquid swab wrapping body is a packaging form called blister packaging in which a plastic bottom material is bonded by heat sealing onto a top material that is a printing mount, but after taking out the swab of the contents However, since the shape does not collapse, it cannot be denied that the package is bulky. For this reason, when it uses many, the volume as garbage increases. Moreover, there exists a fault that the chemical | medical solution stored in the said recessed part tends to leak from a seal part.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a swab package that separately accommodates a cotton swab and a liquid to be impregnated into the cotton ball of the swab so that the finger can be used without being contaminated with liquid and is not bulky after use.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a swab package in which a swab and a predetermined amount of liquid impregnated in the swab of the swab are separated and accommodated in a sealed bag. In
The bag body has two housing parts formed by partitioning the inside back and forth with an intermediate film as a partition wall interposed between two vertically long films on the front side and the rear side. One end portion in the short direction and the film on the rear side are detachably bonded by heat sealing, and the cotton swab is accommodated in one accommodation portion with the cotton ball portion being one end portion side of the intermediate film, and the other accommodation Any one of a disinfecting liquid, a cosmetic liquid, a chemical liquid, and a cleaning liquid is contained in the section as the liquid.

  Since this swab package is in the form of a bag in which the liquid to be impregnated into the swab and the cotton ball portion of the swab are separately stored, there is no possibility that the liquid leaks from the seal portion, and the finger can be used without being contaminated with the liquid. Furthermore, since the bag body after use becomes flat and does not become bulky, the amount of garbage can be greatly reduced as compared with conventional blister packaging.

The liquid to be impregnated into the cotton ball of the cotton swab is not limited to the disinfecting liquid, and any of a cosmetic liquid, a chemical liquid, and a cleaning liquid can be applied.

  The best mode of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear view of a swab package according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal side view of the swab package, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view (a) and (b) showing an enlarged heat seal portion.

  A cotton swab package A according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is obtained by separating a cotton swab 15 and a liquid 20 to be impregnated into a cotton ball portion 17 provided at one end of a shaft 16 of the cotton swab 15 into a sealed bag body 1. It is a general configuration to accommodate.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bag body 1 is heat-sealed at the peripheral portion by interposing a transparent intermediate film 4 as a partition between two transparent vertical films 2 and 3 on the front side and the rear side. The two housing parts 5 and 6 are formed by partitioning the front and rear. And the one end part 4b of the short side direction of the intermediate | middle film 4 and the inner surfaces of the film 3 of the rear side are from the adhesive force provided to the edge part 1a of the longitudinal direction of the bag body 1, and the edge part 1b of a transversal direction. Is provided so as to be peelable by heat sealing so as to have a small adhesive force. 7 and 7 are opening cuts provided on the edge 1a of the bag body 1 in the longitudinal direction.

  As described above, the one end 4b in the short direction of the intermediate film 4 and the rear film 3 are directly bonded, but as shown in FIG. You can also. In this easy seal structure, a heat seal is applied between the intermediate film 4 and the rear film 3 so that the seal member 9 of another material is interposed so that it can be easily peeled off from the peripheral portion of the bag body 1. Yes.

A cotton swab 15 is accommodated in one accommodating portion 5 with the cotton ball portion 17 facing the one end portion 4 b of the intermediate film 4, and a predetermined amount of liquid 20 is accommodated in the other accommodating portion 6. The liquid is not limited to the disinfecting liquid, and any of a cosmetic liquid, a chemical liquid, and a cleaning liquid can be applied . Also about a cotton swab, it is not restricted to a thing with one cotton ball part, You may use what provided the cotton ball part at the both ends of the axis | shaft, respectively .

  Next, in order to explain the method of using the cotton swab package A of the present invention having such a configuration, the other housing portion 6 of the bag body 1 is pressed with a finger with an appropriate force on the one end 4b side of the intermediate film 4. The cotton ball part 17 is impregnated with a liquid 20 such as a disinfectant solution by peeling off the seal part. Next, it is opened from the cuts 7 and 7, the shaft 16 is pinched and the swab 15 is taken out and used.

  In addition, since the cotton swab package A of the present invention has a vertically long shape and is provided with two housing parts at the front and rear, it is particularly suitable for production by a rotary packaging machine.

  As described above, this swab package is in the form of a bag in which the swab and the liquid to be impregnated into the swab are separately accommodated, so there is no risk of the liquid leaking from the seal portion, and the fingers are soiled with liquid. There is an advantage that it can be used.
