Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable stain remover that can easily and efficiently remove stains and dirt attached to clothes and the like when going out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Removal of stains and stains from clothes is usually carried out by a specialist using a detergent, a detergent for partial washing, and a dry cleaning solvent. Many household stain removers containing dry cleaning solvents, reducing agents and the like as main components are also commercially available.

[0003] These stain removers are applied with an absorbent such as paper or a towel under the stains or stains attached to the clothing, and applied with the stain remover on the stains or stains, and then beat or rub. By performing an operation such as the above, a stain remover containing stains and stains is absorbed by the absorbent material, and thereby the stains and stains are transferred and removed.

Further, it is desirable to treat stains and stains generated on clothes as soon as possible, but stains on clothes are more likely to occur in homes than in homes where it is easy to take appropriate measures. It is much more likely to occur in places that are difficult to respond to, such as restaurants, and in reality, it is often difficult to remove stains and stains on the generated clothes.

[0005] In order to cope with such a problem, a stain remover or an absorbent of the stain remover has been used in combination with the stain remover, and is configured as a portable or tabletop type. There has been proposed a method for removing stains such as a stain removal set or a stain removal tool which is convenient to use.

For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 3-8865 discloses a portable stain removing tool for clothing in which a cellulosic sponge is impregnated with a stain removing agent.
JP 77590 discloses a portable stain remover in which a body made of gauze, sponge, paper or the like containing a stain remover solvent is combined with a dry water absorbent.

[0007]

However, those proposed up to now, including these, can be made compact and have no problem for portable use, but most of them have to handle the stain remover directly with bare hands. In addition, there is a problem that the amount of the stain remover is relatively small, and it is difficult to deal with not only large stains but also complete removal of stains.

[0008] In addition, stains and stains are roughly classified into oily and water-based ones. However, there are problems in dealing with them, and the simplicity in use is still satisfactory. Rather, something more convenient is required.

In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a portable stain remover with improved convenience as a portable stain remover. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable stain remover which can remove the oily or aqueous stains and dirt easily.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a liquid stain removing agent storage section having an application section and an absorber storage section are detachable. It is a portable stain remover characterized by being provided in.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there are provided a plurality of liquid stain remover storage sections and / or the plurality of absorber storage sections each having a detachable coating section. This is a portable stain remover.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the portable stain remover according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, the liquid stain remover accommodating portion stores two kinds of stain removers in two stages. A portable stain removing tool characterized in that it has two application portions vertically above and below, which can be accommodated in each of the stain removing agents.

[0013] Further, according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the portable stain remover according to any one of the first to third aspects, the application portion is made of a soft foam having liquid permeability. It is a portable stain remover characterized by the following.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the portable stain removing tool according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the absorber comprises a water-absorbing or oil-absorbing polymer as a component. It is a portable stain remover characterized by doing.

[0015]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a portable stain remover of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the portable stain remover of the present invention, and is a view in which each part of the portable stain remover 1 is removed and shown.

The portable stain remover 1 includes a liquid stain remover storage part 2, a first absorber storage part 3 also serving as a lid of the liquid stain remover storage part 2, and a second absorbing part. Body storage part 4
And a lid 6 that covers the opening of the third absorber housing portion 5 and the third absorber housing portion, and these are all screwed together by screws formed on the outer peripheral surface, It is detachable.

The liquid stain remover storage section 2 is made of a short plastic cylinder. The upper surface of the liquid stain remover contains a suitable amount of the liquid stain remover contained therein so as to exude stains and stains. It has an application section 7 for applying to a dirty portion.

The coating section 7 allows the liquid stain remover stored in the storage section to bleed into stains and stains when removing stains on clothes, etc., and removes stains and stains from the liquid stain remover. There is no limitation on the shape and material, as long as it can exude or flow out the liquid material little by little, but it has liquid permeability. A porous material is preferable, and a soft foam, that is, various sponges are preferable.

The first absorbent container 3, which also serves as a lid of the liquid stain removing agent storage section 2, partitions the inside of the plastic cylinder with a partition plate, and the lower portion of the liquid stain removing agent storage section. The storage section 3a is provided as a storage section of the coating section 7 provided in the second section 2, and an absorption body described later is stored in the storage section 3a.

In the drawings, reference numerals 4 and 5 denote second and third absorber storage portions each having a shallow bottomed cylindrical body, and each of them has an absorber (not shown) therein. Although there are a total of three absorber storage portions in FIG. 1, there may be one or more of the second and third absorber storage portions, and a portable stain removing tool. 1 is not always necessary because the first absorber storage section 3 also serves as a lid for the liquid stain removal agent storage section.

The absorber storage sections 4 and 5 are screwed by a screw formed on the outer surface for connection with each other and with the upper lid 6 and the lower absorber storage section 3. It can be attached and detached, but in order to be detachable, means other than screwing may be used, and means such as fitting may be adopted according to the material or shape.

At this time, in order to prevent leakage and seepage of the liquid stain remover from the liquid stain remover accommodating section 2, it is desirable to use a packing made of rubber or the like in combination with the screw portion or the like. In addition to the function as a lid, a structure may be provided in which a thickness is provided and an absorber is accommodated in the space.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the portable stain remover according to the present invention, in which each part of the portable stain remover 21 is removed and shown.
