Description

The present invention is intended to improve and purify bathtub water, and is a water quality improvement and improvement device that suppresses deodorization and slimming.

Recently, the number of bathing people tends to decrease due to the aging of the family and the declining birthrate. For this reason, it tends to be lazy to wash the bathtub and replace the water. As a result, dirt in the bathtub after bathing is adhered by dirt, hair, etc., and an unpleasant odor or slime is generated.

In recent years, it has been recognized that copper has an antibacterial and bactericidal action and decomposes fat-containing components such as plaque. (Refer nonpatent literature 1) The antibacterial tool immersed in bath water using these effects is known. In these antibacterial tools, it can be seen that the ultrafine copper wire is made into a fiber (see Patent Document 1), granular (see Patent Document 2), or plate (see Patent Document 3).
JP 2001-47058 A JP-A-11-188368 Utility Kaihei 9-5438 Japan Copper Center Copper antibacterial properties (http://www.jcda.or.jp)

However, if used continuously for a long period of time, fiber waste such as towels remaining in the bathtub, waste such as hair and human dirt adhere to the ultrafine copper wire and granular copper pieces, it is difficult to remove these, Sterilization,
There is a problem that the antibacterial effect is reduced, and the hot and cold water smells and the bathtub becomes slimy.

        An object of the present invention is to provide a purifying apparatus that suppresses deodorization and slimming due to a sterilizing effect of copper in a bathtub that is not easily attached to dust such as fiber scraps and hair and is easy to clean.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is always immersed in bath water and used in a thermoplastic synthetic resin container having a plurality of cutout holes through which bath water circulates. It is characterized by having a bellows-like copper plate with an increased surface area.
Deodorizing for bathtubs that contain a copper plate folded in a bellows shape in a synthetic resin container with many holes so that the bath water can be easily circulated and contacted in order to suppress deodorization and slimming.・ It is a slime suppressor.
The synthetic resin container of the present invention is a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polyester, and the synthetic resin container has a size with no size and resistance when bathing. It is cylindrical, rectangular, square or polygonal with a thickness of 10 to 50 mm. The opening rate of the container is 30 to 80% of the total surface area of the container as an area that does not hinder the circulation of the bath water, and the shape of the opened hole is Circle, square, triangle, star, doll, fish. If the thickness of the synthetic resin container is 10 mm or less, the surface area of the bellows-like copper cannot be increased. Moreover, when it becomes 50 mm or more, a volume will become large and will become obstructive at the time of bathing. The opening ratio in the surface area of the synthetic resinous container is important and is preferably as large as possible, but it becomes difficult to hold the bellows-like copper plate. 50% to 70% is most desirable.
The bellows-like copper plate is a copper plate with a surface area of 1000 to 12000 cm 2, with a copper plate with a surface area of 1000 to 12000 centimeters. 1 to 100 micron grooves and scratches with a specific surface area increased by using scratches are used. It is important to reduce the weight of the bellows-like copper, increase its surface area as much as possible, and increase the specific surface area within a certain volume. If the copper thickness is outside the range, bellows-like processing becomes difficult, and if it is thinner, it is damaged by grooves and scratches, and if it is thick, the overall weight is increased. Further, it is preferable that the height of the rectangular corrugated shape in the bellows shape is made into a full thickness within the thickness of the container by inserting it into a synthetic resin container. The surface area of copper is 1000 to 12000 centimeters for a general household bathtub having a volume of 150 to 500 liters, but a higher surface area is more effective. In general, it is preferable to use copper having a surface area of 2000 cm 2 or more. In this respect, in order to improve the specific surface area of copper and enhance the sterilization effect of the copper plate, it is an important factor to make the grooves and scratches of several microns or more by polishing, chemical processing, and machining on the copper surface Become.
Put a collar on a synthetic resin container containing a copper plate bent into a bellows shape, put a lid of the same size, attach a suction cup and fix it with a stop pin so that the lid does not open, and store the bellows copper plate If the plastic is made of plastic with a suction cup, fix it in a bathtub where it will not get in the way. If it is difficult to attach the suction cup, or if it is impossible to attach to the inner surface of the bathtub, hang it with a string or thin metal chain using a hanging fitting attached to the wall of the bathroom. You can also.

The synthetic resin container is lightweight, can be molded freely, and the cutout hole can be cut out in any shape without departing from the bellows-like copper plate.

  The product of the present invention has a copper plate accordion-like shape, with grooves and scratches, greatly expanding the specific surface area of the entire copper, and has a great effect of deodorizing and suppressing slimming due to the sterilization effect of copper. By making the container into a synthetic resin, the appearance shape is further designed and the handling is simple and easy, so that maintenance can be performed easily and it can be reused repeatedly.
