Furthermore, it is used as a water purification material (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-242).
No. 97).

[0003]

The above examples of use are as follows.
It mainly uses the properties of tourmaline for activating water quality, and each has achieved results. In particular, it is well known that negative ions are generated, but the degree of its usefulness has not yet been determined, and its application to instruments and the like is still insufficient.

[0004] In particular, tourmaline is generated in a large amount of negative ions by contact with water, but there is a problem that practical application has hardly been made.

[0005]

The present invention has succeeded in improving the environment of homes and the like by utilizing the characteristics of tourmaline when it comes into contact with moisture.

That is, the present invention is an appliance for a bathroom or the like, characterized in that a molding material contains trimarin powder. Further, the present invention is an appliance such as a bathroom characterized by including tourmaline powder in a synthetic resin molding material, wherein the number of negative ions generated from the trimarin powder is -8.00E + 02 / cc or more. Next, the size of the trimarin powder is 1
10 to 10 microns, the content is 1 to the amount of synthetic resin
5% (mass), and the synthetic resin molding material was used as all or a part of the device.

[0007] The trimarin used in the present invention has the following characteristics. 1. Boron-containing minerals and minerals (Na, Mg, F

× 1 mm ± 235).

5. It does not collapse even after applying 10,000 atmospheres to the crystal.

6. The chemical components of tourmaline are as follows: Composition: NaX ₃ Al ₆ B ₃ Si ₆ (O, OH) ₃₀ (O

Lithia tourmaline Crystal structure: hexagonal system Hardness: 7 to 7.5 (Mohs hardness) Specific gravity: 2.90 to 3.10 g / cm ³ Refractive index: 1.62 to 1.64

[0013] Plus by electrolysis of Torimarin ion H ⁺ is adsorbed on the negative electrode, a hydrogen atom H level, is released into the air by further a hydrogen molecule H _2.

A negative ion (hydrogen ion OH ⁻ )
Is combined with water molecules to form hydroxy ions (H ₃ O ₂ ).
As a result, it is changed into a surface active substance and exhibits a surface active effect.

The negative ions may be combined with water molecules floating in the air or in direct contact with water.
The number of negative ions generated by direct contact with water is by far the largest, and their effectiveness is outstanding. For example, FIG. 4 shows the generation amount of tourmaline negative ions. When tourmaline comes into contact with water, the negative ions rapidly increase as shown in FIG.

The tourmaline in the present invention is made of polyvinyl chloride, polyester, silicone, polypropylene,
It can be used by adding a filler to polyethylene, butylene resin, ABS resin or the like. For example, it can be used as a part of talc (for example, about 5% mixed) conventionally used as a filler for various synthetic resin products.

For example, instead of using 5% talc, 3.5% talc and 1.5% tourmaline are used. In this case, if the particle size is adjusted to 1 to 5 microns in accordance with the particle size of talc, it can be uniformly mixed with talc and uniformly mixed with a synthetic resin or the like, similarly to conventional talc.

The amount of tourmaline may be 1 to 1.5% (mass) of the amount of synthetic resin in view of the generation of negative ions. However, since it depends on the quality of tourmaline, the number of negative ions is -8.00E + 02 / cc. As described above, it is recognized that 1 to 5% (mass) of the amount of the synthetic resin is preferable.

However, since tourmaline is not toxic, it may be mixed in 5% to 20% (by mass) depending on the product, but it is not always the case that more is better.

As described above, when tourmaline is used in appliances such as bathrooms, negative ions are generated, and the generated negative hydroxyl ions (OH ⁻ ) are combined with water molecules to form hydroxyl ions (OH ⁻ ). H ₃ O ₂ ), a hydroxyl ion forms a monolayer, and a surfactant effect is generated. However, in a place with a lot of moisture (for example, in a bathroom), the hydroxyl ions are generated more, so that the appliances in the bathroom are subjected to the action of being washed with a detergent, so that scales and other deposits can be easily removed. As a result, there is no slimming or other foreign matter on the instrument surface due to the attached matter, and the instrument is always kept clean as new.

Further, since the water is activated by the far-infrared rays generated by tourmaline, the clusters of water are subdivided (for example, clusters of the molecules at the 4th to 5th positions) to exert a bactericidal action. Therefore, even if some scale is attached to appliances such as a bathroom, there is no possibility that the scale becomes a hotbed of bacteria (the bacteria cannot propagate). The bathroom and the like in the present invention include kitchen appliances and toilet appliances in addition to the bathroom.

[0022]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention provides a negative ion generating ability by mixing 1 to 5% (by mass) of trimarin powder when molding synthetic resin for appliances such as bathrooms. Make an ion environment.

Since the generation of the negative ions is further promoted in the presence of water, when taking a bath, a large amount of negative ions are generated, and the bathing and the negative ion bath can be performed simultaneously.

Although the amount of the tourmaline may be determined based on the number of negative ions generated, for example, tourmaline may be contained in bathroom sandbags, bathtub covers, tubs, stools, and other synthetic resin products. In other words, even though the amount of tourmaline contained in each device is small, the total amount is -8.00.
If the device is about E + 02 cells / cc and 1 m ² contains 100 g of tourmaline per 1 m ² , a sufficient effect on the human body can be expected. 1 for each instrument
It is sufficient if it is contained in an amount of 5% by mass.

In addition, depending on each device, a synthetic resin sheet may be stuck or adhered to a wooden or metal substrate. In such a case, when the synthetic resin layer is thin (for example, 1 mm or less in thickness). It may also be used tourmaline 1 m ² per 100g~200g register.

As described above, when there are many appliances containing tourmaline in the bathroom, sufficient effects can be expected even if the amount of tourmaline contained in each appliance is inevitably reduced. Particularly in equipment used in water or easily wetted by water, the amount of anion generated increases dramatically. Therefore, even if the content of each equipment is further reduced, the cleaning, sterilization and human body of the equipment can be performed. You can expect a negative ion effect on the surface.

[0031]

According to the present invention, since tourmaline is mixed with the material of the equipment such as the bathroom, the negative ions in the bathroom are increased to give a favorable effect to the human body, and at the same time, the interface is generated by the hydroxyl ions generated by the negative ions. It produces an active effect and has the effect of minimizing descaling and other deposits on the appliance.

Further, since the appliance is used in the bathroom, there are many opportunities to come into contact with water, in which case there is an effect of promoting generation of negative ions. In addition, water is activated by the far-infrared ray generation effect of tourmaline, and a bactericidal effect can be expected.
Equipment can be kept clean.
