  The present invention relates to an auxiliary container for a washing machine in which powders of various washing aids such as deodorants used in washing machines, particularly household washing machines, are used together with laundry.

  Conventionally, when washing dirty clothes, etc. mainly using a household washing machine, various auxiliary agents such as powder, granular or liquid deodorant, sterilization / antibacterial agent, etc. are mixed at the same time. It has been broken.

  These deodorizers and auxiliaries such as sanitizers and antibacterial agents are mainly activated carbon, or solutions, powders, and granules mainly composed of natural ore that has high oxidizing power against water and bacteria. These auxiliaries are added directly when in liquid form, or powders or granules or lumps are obtained by suspending or mixing a bag body using a breathable sheet such as a nonwoven fabric in a washing machine. It is used.

  However, as a conventional auxiliary agent such as deodorant and antibacterial antibacterial agent, powder or granular material such as activated carbon, natural ore, titanium dioxide using a photocatalyst, or the like is used in a cloth or in a bag. If the product is suspended or mixed, it may interfere with the laundry that rotates during washing, or the laundry may get caught in the zipper of the bag, etc. In addition, there were some troublesome parts that used liquids that needed to be measured each time they were washed.

  The present invention provides an auxiliary container for a washing machine that can be smoothly washed without obstructing the flow of laundry at the time of washing or being entangled and that can be simply put into a washing tub. It is intended to do.

    The auxiliary aid container for a washing machine according to the present invention has a deformable flexibility and is provided with a notch-shaped insertion opening in a part of the peripheral surface of the ball body having a hollow portion inside, such as cloth or paper. A powder or granular deodorant, sterilization / antibacterial agent and the like contained in the package are accommodated in the hollow portion of the ball body through the notch-shaped insertion port and put into the washing machine. It is characterized by this.

  Furthermore, the ball body is characterized by being transparent or semi-transparent enough to see through the inside.

  Further, the auxiliary agent accommodated in the hollow portion of the ball body is a mixed powder or granular form of shell calcined calcium and zeolite which is easily dissolved in water.

  According to the auxiliary agent container for a washing machine according to the present invention, the use of a ball body having deformable flexibility eliminates the need to hang around the bathtub or attach it to a predetermined position. It can be done by simply throwing it into the washing tub, and it is circular even when it comes in contact with the laundry in the washing tub when it is washed. Therefore, it is possible to carry out smooth washing without damaging clothes, preventing the flow of washing, or generating abnormal noise.

  Further, by providing a notch-shaped insertion opening in a part of the peripheral surface of the ball body with the inside as a hollow portion, a package body such as cloth or paper enclosing powder or granular auxiliaries can be obtained. The insertion port can be widened and easily inserted into and withdrawn from the hollow portion of the ball body, and the ball body can be deformed to open the insertion port to easily visually check how the auxiliary agents are reduced.

  Furthermore, the ball body in the washing tub is filled with the water from the insertion port and filled in the cavity, and is positioned at the bottom of the bathtub by its weight, so that the deodorant and the like contained in the cavity are supported. The agents are dissolved and can be distributed evenly in the laundry layer in a substantially uniform state for effective deodorization and antibacterial action.

  Further, by making the ball body transparent or semi-transparent enough to allow the inside to be seen through, the inside is visually observed, and the degree of reduction of the auxiliary agents accommodated can be easily determined from the outside.

    Further, the auxiliary powders contained in the hollow portion of the ball body are encapsulated in a package body such as air-permeable cloth or paper containing a powder or granule of shell-calcined calcium and zeolite that is easily dissolved in water. By housing, it dissolves quickly in the wash water and becomes alkali negative ion water, so that stable deodorization, sterilization, antibacterial and washing functions can be maintained.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an auxiliary agent container for a washing machine according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an insertion state of auxiliary agents, FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a part of an auxiliary agent cut away, and FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a state where the auxiliary agent is put in a washing tub.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the auxiliary agent container for a washing machine according to the present invention has a deformable flexibility and a part of the circumferential surface of a circular ball body 1 having a hollow portion 2 inside. A cutout-shaped insertion port 3 is provided in the container, and auxiliary substances 5 such as powder or granular deodorant, antibacterial and antibacterial agents are contained in a package 4 having air permeability such as cloth or paper. As shown in FIG. 2, the ball body 1 is deformed by being pressed or crushed from the outside, and the notch-shaped insertion port 3 is expanded to a certain size and accommodated in the cavity 2 of the ball body 1 and washed. The tub 6 is put into the tub 6 at the same time as the laundry 7 or before and after it and used for washing.
