In these publications, there is also proposed a method of producing a solid bath agent by mixing an inclusion in a bath agent raw material and then pressurizing the mixture.
In such a pressure molding method, since the inclusions are easily deformed by the pressure at the time of molding, there is a drawback that a toy or the like whose deformation of the inclusions due to the pressure adversely affects the commercial value cannot be included. Therefore, the solid bath preparation produced by the pressure molding method is relatively small in size, such as a freeze-dried plant, and contains an article whose shape change does not adversely affect the commercial value even when pressed. limited.

[0005] As described above, in the case of the solid bath preparation by the conventional pressure molding method, it is not possible to include in the solid bath preparation an article, such as a toy, whose deformation due to pressure adversely affects the commercial value. However, solid bathing agents containing toys that may be deformed are hardly available on the market, and even if they are on the market, only those manufactured manually by small scale are known. In fact, mass production is not being carried out.

Further, in the case of a solid bath preparation manufactured by a method in which the inclusion is mixed with the raw material of the bath preparation in advance and then subjected to pressure molding, the position of the inclusion is different for each product.
There is a large variation in the time from the start of dissolution into the bath water until the inclusions appear in the bath water, and it is difficult to control this time in the manufacturing stage.

In the present embodiment, a primary forming step until the bath agent raw material 5 is filled in the forming container 4 to form the rough formed body 11, and the finished formed body 13 is formed by pressure forming the rough formed body 11.
The working efficiency is high because the secondary forming process up to the formation of is performed continuously. Further, the concave surfaces of the lower pressing member 6 and the upper pressing member 12 which are in contact with the bath additive raw material 5 in the molding container 4 have the same shape as the upper and lower convex surfaces of the solid finished molded body 13, respectively. Since the roughly formed body 11 having a shape close to the shape of the finished product can be formed, the secondary pressing step can be shortened and the production efficiency can be improved.
Further, since the lower pressing member 6 and the upper pressing member 12 press the bath material 5 from a plurality of directions different from each other, uniform pressure is applied to the entire bath material 5 and the rough formed body 11 to form the formed rough formed body 11. Further, the density distribution of the solid bath agent is equalized, and a solid bath agent excellent in uniformity can be produced.
