Description

WASHABLE COLORING OBJECT

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a washable coloring object, wherein a coloring object is provided with covering layers and packing. The covering layers are washable waterproof material, and the packing is a waterproof and non-water absorbent material.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

A conventional coloring object, as depicted in FIG. 1, is made up from sheets of paper Al and a coloring pen A2. However, the sheets of paper Al only function to enable color to be added thereto, and lack functionality to easily remove coloring agents within a few seconds using a simple rinsing method with general clear water and tap water to achieve reusable functionality. Hence, such a design causes anxiety in the user because of increased purchasing cost.

I-fence, the inventor of the present invention proposes to resolve and surmount existent technical difficulties to eliminate the aforementioned

shortcomings of prior art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Art of the present invention provides a washable colonng object, wherein a coloring object comprises covering layers and packing. The covenng layers are washable waterproof material, and the packing is waterproof and non-water absorbent material. When coloring the coloring object, because the covering layer are washable waterproof material, thus, coloring agents on the coloring object can be easily washed away within a few seconds using general clear water or tap water without the need for any cleaning agent, thereby achieving effectiveness of reusability, environmental protection and safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, which show a washable coloring object of the present invention, wherein a coloring object B comprises covering layers BI and waterproof and non-water absorbent packing B2.

A surface of the covering layers Bi is provided with any printed pattern lines and space to enable coloring thereof. The covering layers BI are washable waterproof material.

The waterproof and non-water absorbent packing 82 is packed within the coloring object B, thereby enabling the coloring object B to achieve a more effective three-dimensional impression, and enable easy rinsing away of coloring, as well as conveniently enabling the user to directly apply color, which can set off outline features of the coloring object B. When coloring the coloring object B, because the covering layers BI are washable waterproof material, thus, coloring agents D on the coloring object B can be easily rinsed away within a few seconds using dear water or tap water directly from a water spout H, thereby providing reusable functionality, and further achieving the objectives of benefiting environmental protection, providing educational amusement, enabling parents and children to have fun together, as well as enabling users to enjoy the fun of DIV (Do It Yourself) and learn painting skills and color recognition.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, which show modes of implementation of the washable coloring object of the present invention, wherein the coloring object B comprises the covering layers BI and the packing B2.

The surface of the covering layers 81 is provided with printed pattern lines and space to enable coloring thereof. The covering layers 81 are washable waterproof material, such as pongee doth or related material.

The packing B2 is packed within the coloring object B, thereby enabling the coloring object B to achieve a more effective three-dimensional impression, and enable easy rinsing away of coloring, as welt as conveniently enabling the user to directly apply color, which can set off outline features of the coloring object B. When coloring the coloring object B, a coloring pen B3 is used to apply color directly onto the covering layers BI. A coloring pen C can also be dipped with the coloring agent 0, which can then be applied to the covering layers BI of the coloring object B. A rubbing method can also be employed as the coloring method, whereby the coloring agent D is applied to the coloring pen C from a rubbing color box E, and a hollowed out pattern hollow Fl of a rubbing board F is then used to carry out rubbing of color onto a surface of the coloring object B. Moreover, a color mixing tray G can be further employed to mix the coloring agents D for use thereof.

When coloring of the coloring object B is complete, because the covering layers BI are washable waterproof material, then the coloring agents D on the coloring object B can be easily washed away within a few seconds using clear water or tap water directly from the water spout H without the need for any cleaning agent, thereby providing reusable functionality, and further achieving the objectives of benefiting environmental protection, providing educational amusement, enabling parents and children to have fun together, as well as enabling users to enjoy the fun of DIV (Do It Yourself) and learn painting skills and color recognition.

Referring to FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, wherein the coloring object B can be a single-sided coloring object I, a double-sided coloring object J and a three-dimensional coloring object K, thereby increasing multiplicity, variability and educational aspect of the coloring function of the present invention, which further enables users to improve their technique in coloring.
