Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath preparation composition having enhanced stimulus for auditory stimulation and massage during bathing by a solid containing sugar containing high-pressure gas, and more particularly to a bath preparation for hand bath, foot bath and the like. The present invention relates to a bath composition useful for a partial bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wide variety of bath agents have been developed and marketed, including those containing components having a warm bath effect and those containing various medicinal components, for the purpose of recovery from fatigue and the like. These bath agents are generally used for whole body baths, but recently, it has been desired to develop bath agents that are effective for easily recovering fatigue of hands and feet by using a partial bath for bathing only a part of the body. ing.

By the way, conventionally, a bath agent containing a solid saccharide filled with a high-pressure gas has been used in order to produce a popping sound by dissolving it in bath water, and to obtain a massage effect or an auditory stimulus by the popping sound (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. No. 2-40319) has been proposed. However, when the temperature of the bath is low, there is a possibility that physical and auditory stimuli may be weakened, and the desired effect may be reduced. On the other hand, calcium chloride,
Known are magnesium chloride, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, zinc chloride, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium sulfate, dried alum, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium metaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, disodium hydrogenphosphate, etc. I have. It is chemically known that these compounds exhibit an exothermic reaction upon contact with moisture, but it is not known to mix them as a heating agent in a bath agent. The reason is that these are put into a 200-liter bath water which is usually used for a whole body bath, and in order to obtain a temperature rise due to an exothermic effect, for example, about 3.5 kg in order to raise the temperature of the entire bath water by 1 ° C. It is considered that a large amount of exothermic agent is required, and it is difficult to use it only for the purpose of expecting a rise in the temperature of the entire bath water in the whole body bath.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an auditory stimulus and a physical stimulus due to a popping sound even when the temperature of a bath water is low, and to recover fatigue such as a massage effect accompanying these stimuli. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bath composition capable of effectively obtaining an effect, particularly effective for a partial bath.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a saccharide-containing solid material containing a high-pressure gas that emits a popping sound when dissolved, and a heating agent that generates an exothermic reaction upon contact with moisture are included. Is provided.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The bath composition of the present invention comprises, as essential components, a saccharide-containing solid material containing a high-pressure gas that emits a popping sound upon dissolution, and a heating agent that generates an exothermic reaction upon contact with water. including. In this bath composition, the explosive sound of the saccharide-containing solid product is enhanced by the exothermic action of the exothermic agent, and the accompanying improvement in the massage effect and the like can be expected.

The saccharide-containing solid containing the high-pressure gas is not particularly limited as long as it is based on a saccharide that emits a plosive sound when dissolved in contact with hot water. Examples of the saccharide serving as a base include dextrin, maltose, maltose, glucose, lactose, sucrose, oligosaccharide or a mixture thereof, and the like, preferably dextrin,
Mixtures of sucrose and lactose are preferred. As the high-pressure gas to be filled, carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, air and the like can be used.

The saccharide-containing solid is preferably in the form of granules, and the particle size is usually 0.01 to 20 mm, preferably 0.0 to 20 mm.
5 to 15 mm. The amount of the saccharide-containing solid is not particularly limited, but is based on the total amount of the saccharide-containing solid and the exothermic agent that encapsulate the high-pressure gas in the bath composition.
A proportion of from 10 to 95% by weight, in particular from 20 to 90% by weight, is preferred. In order to achieve the desired purpose, when used for a partial bath, about 1 to 5 g is appropriate for 5 liters of bath water, and for use for a whole body bath, about 1 to 5 g. About 4 to 25 g is appropriate. It is preferable to mix a plurality of the saccharide-containing solids. Further, if necessary, other bath components such as crude drug powder, fragrance, and pigment may be added to the saccharide-containing solid.

In order to prepare the saccharide-containing solid, for example, the saccharide is heated and dissolved to evaporate a certain amount of water, then solidified by cooling, then crushed and stored in a pressure vessel. With the high-pressure gas introduced therein, the crushed saccharide can be melted again, cooled and solidified, taken out of the pressurized container, and crushed to a desired particle size by a known method or the like. .

The exothermic agent reacts with water to generate heat, thereby acting to further enhance the action and effect of the saccharide-containing solid in which the high-pressure gas is sealed. Further, for example, it is possible to increase the mixing ratio of the exothermic agent and slightly increase the temperature of the bath water itself. Therefore, even when the temperature of the bath water is low, the effect of the saccharide-containing solid can be sufficiently brought out by including the exothermic agent.

As the exothermic agent, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, zinc chloride, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium sulfate,
Dried alum, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide,
It can be selected from the group consisting of sodium metaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, disodium hydrogenphosphate and mixtures thereof. The mixing ratio of the exothermic agent is preferably at least 5 parts by weight, particularly preferably in the range of 10 to 400 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the saccharide-containing solid containing the high-pressure gas to be mixed. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of enhancing the action and effect of the saccharide-containing solid product as the exothermic agent is not easily obtained, which is not preferable. In addition, when expecting a rise in the temperature of the bath water to the extent that it is felt on the skin at the time of injection in a partial bath or the like, it is preferable to blend 2 g or more, preferably 3 to 5 g, per 5 liters of the bath water.

The bath agent composition of the present invention can be made into a bath agent by adding other bath agent components as required in addition to the above-mentioned essential components. The form of the other bath ingredients must be a solid such as a powder, granules, tablets, capsules and the like. Therefore, the liquid component is preferably encapsulated in a capsule or the like.
