Eye rinsing element
The invention relates to an eye rinsing element comprising two rinsing fluid discharge areas, wherein each discharge area comprises multiple openings for discharging rinsing fluid.
1 . An eye rinsing element,
wherein the eye rinsing element comprises two rinsing fluid discharge areas,
wherein each discharge area comprises at least 6 openings for discharging rinsing fluid and each discharge area covers an area of at least 1 cm 2 ,
wherein the discharge areas form part of a curved surface which in a first longitudinal cross-section has a radius between 3 mm and 9 mm,
wherein the eye rinsing element is configured as an attachment for an eye rinsing bottle of an eye rinsing device,
wherein the eye rinsing element has two end areas, namely a first end area, in which the discharge areas are disposed, as well as a second end area which is configured as a cap-like portion for being attached to an eye rinsing bottle comprising eye rinsing fluid,
wherein the eye rinsing element has a first end area in longitudinal direction comprising the rinsing fluid discharge areas,
wherein in the first end area the eye rinsing element widens continuously in a first longitudinal cross-section,
wherein in the first end area, the eye rinsing element decreases continuously in a second longitudinal cross-section,
wherein the second longitudinal section is perpendicular to the first longitudinal cross-section.
2 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the discharge areas each comprise at least 8 openings.
3 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the openings are arranged on two concentric circles.
4 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 3 ,
wherein an outer circle comprises more openings than an inner circle.
5 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 4 ,
Wherein the outer circle comprises at least double as many openings as the inner circle.
6 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 4 ,
wherein neighbouring openings of the inner circle have an angular distance of 90°,
wherein neighbouring openings of the outer circle have an angular distance of 45°.
7 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the openings are formed within the eye rinsing element parallel to each other and in a longitudinal direction of the eye rinsing element, so that rinsing fluid is discharged in both discharge areas in the longitudinal direction of the eye rinsing element.
8 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the openings have a diameter between 0.1 mm and 5 mm.
9 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the eye rinsing element comprises a discharge channel in its inside guiding rinsing fluid to both discharge areas.
10 . The eye rinsing element according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the eye rinsing element has two recesses for a nose of a user of the eye rinsing element,
said two recesses being disposed on opposite sides of the eye rinsing element,
wherein the recesses are centred on a first plane of symmetry of the eye rinsing element, the first plane of symmetry being disposed between the two discharge areas.
