Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a body cavity cleansing agent used for removing dirt (such as bellybutton lint or ear wax and the like) from a body cavity such as the navel cavity or the ear hole and the like, a body cavity cleansing method using this cleansing agent, and a navel cavity opener used when pouring the body cavity cleansing agent into the navel cavity. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In recent years, those fashions with an exposed bellybutton or with a pierced bellybutton have become common, and also there is a trend to wear a swimsuit as outerwear, there are more opportunities to expose one's bellybutton. Bellybutton lint accumulated in the navel cavity is not only unpleasant to look at, but also generates odor because of bacteria growth in the navel cavity. Therefore, bellybutton lint removal (bellybutton cleansing) is performed for the purposes of improving the appearance and preventing odor of the bellybutton. [0003] Commonly, bellybutton lint removal is performed by scratching with a fingernail or scraping with an oil-applied swab (see "Idea.com: `Bellybutton Clean` sales page" (online) of COGIT Co.; HP division, COGIT Co.; URL http://www.rakuten.cojp/cogit/390263/452459/on Internet; searched on Apr. 1, 2003). However, scratching with a fingernail or scraping with a swab can easily hurt the inner surface of the navel cavity. Moreover, it gives a stimulus to the abdominal membrane under the bottom of the navel cavity, which can lead to abdominal pain. [0004] Meanwhile, conventionally, ear wax removal (ear cleansing) is performed using an earpick or a swab. However, with the ear cleansing using an earpick or the like, ear wax is not completely removed as a result of avoiding damage to a deeper part of the ear hole, and sometimes it is the case that ear wax is pushed into the deeper part of the ear hole and becomes harder to be scraped out, and also, the inner surface of the ear hole can easily get hurt. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [0005] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a body cavity cleansing agent with which dirt such as bellybutton lint or ear wax and the like can be easily removed without hurting the inner surface of the navel cavity or the ear hole and the like, a body cavity cleansing method using this cleansing agent, and a navel cavity opener used when pouring the body cavity cleansing agent into the navel cavity. [0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a body cavity cleansing agent which is either poured into or applied to a navel cavity or an ear hole and solidifies after a specified period of time, and which takes a form that can be removed from the navel cavity or the ear hole together with dirt in the navel cavity or the ear hole. [0007] The present invention also provides a body cavity cleansing method wherein the above body cavity cleansing agent is either poured into or applied to a navel cavity or an ear hole, and after the body cavity cleansing agent has solidified, this solid material is removed from the navel cavity or the ear hole together with dirt in the navel cavity or the ear hole. [0008] The present invention also provides a navel cavity opener for stretching and opening a navel cavity so as to allow the above body cavity cleansing agent to be poured into the navel cavity, including a tubular part, a flange formed such as to extend from an outer circumferential surface of the tubular part, and a plurality of fins extending from the outer circumferential surface of the tubular part at a predetermined interval, wherein the tubular part is provided with a cleansing agent injection port at an upper end thereof, a cleansing agent discharge port that communicates with the cleansing agent injection port is provided on a lower end side of the tubular part relative to the flange, and the fins extend from the lower end of the tubular part toward the flange such that their height from the tubular part increases gradually. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a container/injector case for containing the body cavity cleansing agent of the present embodiment. [0010] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one form of an opener for stretching and opening the opening of a navel cavity. [0011] FIG. 3(a), FIG. 3(b), FIG. 3(c), and FIG. 3(d) are diagrams showing the former half of the process steps of one embodiment of the body cavity cleansing method (bellybutton cleansing) of the present invention. [0012] FIG. 4(a), FIG. 4(b), FIG. 4(c), FIG. 4(d), and FIG. 4(e) are diagrams showing the latter half of the process steps of one embodiment of the body cavity cleansing method (bellybutton cleansing) of the present invention. [0013] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the navel cavity opener of the present invention for stretching and opening the opening of a navel cavity. [0014] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the navel cavity opener of the present invention for stretching and opening the opening of a navel cavity. [0015] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the navel cavity opener of the present invention for stretching and opening the opening of a navel cavity. [0016] FIG. 8(a), FIG. 8(b), FIG. 8(c) and FIG. 8(d) are a front view, a plan view, a bottom plan view, and a cross section taken along the line D-D of FIG. 8(c), respectively, of the navel cavity opener shown in FIG. 7. [0017] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a swab taken out of an ear hole with a solidified composition adhered to the swab. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0018] One preferred embodiment of the body cavity cleansing agent of the present invention will be hereinafter described. FIG. 3(a) to FIG. 3(d) and FIG. 4(a) to FIG. 4(e), which will be described later, will also be referred to in the description of how the body cavity cleansing agent is poured into a navel cavity and solidifies. It should be noted that the body cavity cleansing agent of the present invention is prepared as a composition having fluidity before use or at least during use. Therefore a term "fluid composition" in the following description also refers to the body cavity cleansing agent of the present invention. [0019] The body cavity cleansing agent 1 of the present embodiment is a fluid composition that can be poured into a body's navel cavity N prepared as shown in FIG. 3(a) to FIG. 3(d), and it solidifies into a gel-like or rubber-like state after a specified period of time after it has been poured into the navel cavity N as shown in FIG. 4(c). After the body cavity cleansing agent 1 of the present embodiment has solidified in the navel cavity N as shown in FIG. 4(d), it takes a form that can be removed from the navel cavity N together with dirt (bellybutton lint) D in the navel cavity N as shown in FIG. 4(e).
