Description

  The present invention relates to an adsorber that adsorbs floating substances such as sebum that floats water in a bathtub, and more particularly to an adsorber that adsorbs sebum that floats on water in a bathtub and floats water in the bathtub.

  Traditionally, bathing in ordinary households involves boiling the water stored in the bathtub at an appropriate temperature or pouring hot water from the water heater into the bathtub to store the hot water in the bathtub and then immersing the body in the hot water. It is done by. In such bathing, hot water is rarely replaced every time bathing is performed, and hot water is replaced after bathing is performed a plurality of times, for example, about four times. Therefore, there are many cases in which the same hot water is bathed a plurality of times, and the hair, keratin, sebum, etc. of the bathed person float in the hot water in which the bathing is performed a plurality of times. Become. The sebum in the hot water is particularly difficult to visually recognize and causes bathtub stains, so a technique for effectively removing the sebum in the hot water is required.

  As a technique that meets such a demand, there is an adsorber for bathtubs described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example. This bathtub adsorbing tool is composed of an outer cloth made of lipophilic fibers and a core material of lipophilic fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less encased by the outer cloth.

Japanese Patent No. 4029096 Japanese Patent No. 4599332

  By the way, the conventional tub adsorber is used by floating on hot water where bathing has been performed or being performed, and adsorbing and holding the sebum of hot water to the core material, but every time it is used repeatedly As the amount of sebum adsorbed on the core material increases, the adsorptive capacity of the core material deteriorates. And finally, the sebum adsorption ability of the core material is saturated, and adsorption is hardly performed.

  Such saturation of the adsorbing ability can be recovered by washing the core material with a detergent or the like, but in the conventional bathtub adsorbent, the outer cover is covered with the core material and the opening is banded. Therefore, it is difficult to take out the core material from the outer cloth and clean it.

  At this time, the core material can be taken out of the outer cover cloth by destroying the tightening band, but in this case, the opening of the outer cover cloth cannot be tightened again. The middle core material easily spills from the cloth, and the integrity of the outer cloth and the middle core material cannot be maintained. In particular, the conventional bathtub adsorber includes a fine pipe material as a buoyant material in addition to the lipophilic fiber as the core material, so that the pipe material spills out and the integrity of the core material cannot be maintained. Therefore, when this method is adopted, it is difficult to use the bathtub suction tool again.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the suction tool for bathtubs which can be easily reused even if it takes out and wash | cleans a core material from an outer covering cloth in view of this problem.

In order to achieve the above object, an adsorbent for bathtubs according to one aspect of the present invention is composed of fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less, and a core material that adsorbs and holds sebum floating in the water in the bathtub, An outer covering that envelops the core material and allows the sebum to permeate from the water toward the inner core material, and the outer covering cloth can open and close the opening. And an opening / closing portion.
Here, the core material may be a rod-shaped body configured by winding a sheet material in a roll shape.
The bathtub adsorbing tool may further include two arm portions attached to the jacket cloth, and the two arm portions may be freely connected and separated.

  The bathtub adsorbing device further includes a propulsion member that moves the outer covering covering the core material on the water surface in a predetermined direction, and the propulsion member is in front of the arm portion in the predetermined direction. At this position, the outer cover cloth covering the core material may be held.

Further, the outer cover cloth has a display surface portion constituted by fibers entangled with a predetermined opening ratio, and a back surface portion constituted by fibers entangled with an opening ratio larger than the predetermined opening ratio, The opening may be provided in the back surface portion.
Moreover, the said core material may be comprised with the nonwoven fabric which entangled polypropylene.

(First embodiment)
The structure of the suction tool 100 for bathtubs concerning the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIGS. 1-3.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing the configuration of the bathtub suction tool 100 according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the configuration of the bathtub suction tool 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a front view showing a configuration inside the jacket cloth 31 of the bathtub suction device 100 according to the present embodiment. In addition, FIG. 3 has shown the front view except the display surface part 34 of the jacket cloth 31 in the suction tool 100 for bathtubs.

  The bathtub adsorbent 100 is a sebum adsorber that floats on the water in the bathtub and adsorbs the sebum in the bathtub. The bathtub adsorbent 100 includes a core material 11 for adsorbing and holding sebum, a core 21 into which the core material 11 is inserted, and a core 21 for assisting in maintaining the shape of the core material 11, and a core inserted in the net 21. An outer covering 31 that encloses the material 11 and transmits sebum from the water toward the inner core 11 and arm portions 41 and 42 attached to the outer covering 31 are provided.

  The core 11 is a non-woven fabric in which fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less, such as synthetic resin fibers, are entangled, and is a filter that adsorbs sebum, for example, about 10 times the weight of the core 11. . Since the middle core material 11 is composed of fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less, buoyancy with respect to water is generated in the middle core material 11, and as a result, the bathtub suction device 100 can be floated on the water surface. Thereby, it becomes possible to adsorb | suck the sebum which many float on the water surface to the suction tool 100 for bathtubs efficiently. In order to add an antibacterial and antifungal action to the core material 11, silver ions or the like may be kneaded into the fibers constituting the core material 11.

The outer covering 31 is made of fibers entangled with an opening ratio larger than a predetermined opening ratio of the display surface portion 34, and has a back surface portion 35 with improved air and sebum permeability on the rear surface. The boundary between the display surface portion 34 and the back surface portion 35 is provided on the side surface of the jacket cloth 31. The opening ratio of the mesh of the net 21 is larger than the opening ratio of the back surface portion 35 of the jacket cloth 31.

  An opening 32 through which the bar-shaped core material 11 can be taken out is formed in the back surface portion 35 of the jacket cloth 31, and an opening / closing member 33 that can open and close the opening 32 is provided in the opening 32. As the opening / closing member 33, for example, a chuck along the vertical direction of the jacket cloth 31 can be used. The opening 32 is formed with a size that allows at least the end of the rod-shaped core member 11 to be inserted.

  Each of the arm portions 41 and 42 is a rod-shaped member having one end coupled to the jacket cloth 31 and is preferably made of a nonwoven fabric in which fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less, for example, synthetic resin fibers are entangled. When the arm portions 41 and 42 are made of fibers having a specific gravity of 1 or less, buoyancy with respect to water can be generated in the arm portions 41 and 42 and the buoyancy with respect to the water of the bathtub adsorbing tool 100 can be improved.

  The arm portions 41 and 42 are provided so as to protrude from the main body portion of the jacket cloth 31 in the left-right direction, and a connecting member 43 that enables connection and separation between the tip ends of the arm portions 41 and 42 is provided at the tip thereof. Is provided.
