DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the water quality improving container of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

The water quality improving container of the present invention comprises a container body 1 for storing water and a water quality improving agent 2.

In this embodiment, the container body 1 is formed of a rectangular parallelepiped made of a synthetic resin, and has a water inlet / outlet 11 projecting upward in a cylindrical shape at the center of the upper surface 1a. In addition, it is composed of a bottle container having a height of about 20 cm and capable of storing about 1 to 1.5 liters of water therein, and is considered to be convenient for handling, but the shape, size, material, etc. are particularly There is no limitation, and any suitable one can be used. A lid (not shown) is attached to the water inlet / outlet 11 of the container body 1, and is screwed into a screw portion formed on the outer periphery of the water inlet / outlet 11 so as to be connected to the container. The main body 1 can be opened and closed appropriately.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a convex portion 12 is provided at the center of the bottom surface 1b of the container body 1 so as to protrude upward inside.

The water quality improving agent 2 is for improving the quality of water stored in the container body 1, and is a pH adjusting agent for converting minerals such as crushed stones capable of eluting mineral elements and water to alkaline. Further, it is composed of an absorbent capable of absorbing or sterilizing odors and various bacteria, and one or more types capable of improving water quality suitable for beverages. In this example,
Upon contact with water, various trace elements are eluted and P
A plurality of small crushed stones 2 to change to an alkaline of about 8.5 to 9
... 2 are used. And this water quality improving agent 2
It is housed in the container body 1, but in this embodiment, it is housed in the container body 1 together with the holding member 3 by being put in the holding member 3 separate from the container body 1.

The holding member 3 includes a side wall 31, an upper wall 32, and a lower wall 33, as shown in FIG.
The side wall 31 is made of a metal cylindrical body and has an outer diameter approximately equal to the size of the water inlet / outlet 11 of the container main body 1 so that the side wall 31 can be properly inserted into and taken out of the container main body 1 through the water inlet / outlet 11. . The length L1 is slightly longer than the height H from the bottom surface 1b to the upper surface 1a of the container body 1, and when the container is put into the container body 1 through the water inlet / outlet 11, the upper end portion has a water inlet / outlet. It stops at 11.

A plurality of small holes 30 are formed in the side wall 31 over the entire circumference from the upper end to the lower end. These small holes 30 are for bringing the water in the container body 1 into contact with the water quality improving agent 2 put in the side wall 31. In this embodiment, the hole is formed from a round hole having a diameter of about 2 mm, but may be formed in such a size that water can pass through and the water quality improving agent 2 does not escape.

On the other hand, the upper wall 32 and the lower wall 33 are for retaining the water quality improving agent 2 in the side wall 31, and these are locked to the upper and lower portions in the side wall 31, respectively. Thus, a water quality improving agent storage section 34 is formed at the upper and lower central portions in the side wall 31. Also, the arrangement position of the upper wall 32 is
As shown in FIG. 2, when the holding member 3 is set in the container main body 1, it is located at a position lower than the upper surface 1 a of the container main body 1 by a predetermined distance. On the other hand, the lower wall 33
A container main body engaging portion 36 which is disposed above the lower end of the side wall 31 by a predetermined distance and which fits into the convex portion 12 of the container main body 1 below the water quality improving agent storing portion 34 by the lower wall 33.
Is formed. In this embodiment, the distance L2 from the upper end of the side wall 31 to the upper wall 32 and the distance L3 from the lower end of the side wall 31 to the lower wall 33 are substantially the same to be vertically symmetrical and can be used without distinction in the vertical direction. Like that.

The upper wall 32 and the lower wall 33 may be fixed to the side wall 31 after the water quality improving agent 2 is put therein. For example, one of the upper wall 32 and the lower wall 33 is detachably attached to the side wall 31. By doing so, the water quality improving agent 2 can be appropriately replaced, which is convenient.

After a small amount of the crushed stones 2... 2 as a water quality improving agent is put in the water quality improving agent storage section 34 in the holding member 3 thus configured,
It is put inside from 1. Then, the container main body engaging portion 36 of the holding member 3 is fitted to the projection 12 of the container main body 1. Thereby, the holding member 3 is bridged from the bottom surface 1b to the water inlet / outlet 11 so as to penetrate the axis of the container body 1, and
A water storage portion 35 is formed over the entire periphery of the side wall 31 of the holding member 3 in the container body 1. In that state,
With respect to the container body 1, the lower end side of the holding member 3 is formed by the convex portion 12, while the upper end side is formed by the water inlet / outlet 11.
The displacement is prevented, and the holding member 3 is always maintained at the axis of the container body 1.

In order to use the water quality improvement container of the present invention configured as described above, water can be used by, for example, inserting water from a tap faucet J through a water inlet / outlet 11. If a plurality of small holes 32a... 32a similar to those provided on the side wall 31 are provided on the upper wall 32, water flowing from the faucet J at a considerable flow rate is supplied to the small holes 32a.
Can be put into the water quality improving agent storage part 34 and flow through the water quality improving agent storage part 34 from the upper end to the lower end. Thereby, the small crushed stones 2... 2 in the water quality improving agent storage part 34 can be flowed while applying water at a substantial flow rate from the upper one to the lower one, and the elution of trace elements can be promoted. . Even when the upper wall 32 in which the small holes 32a... 32a are not formed as described above is used, since the arrangement position of the upper wall 32 is lower than the upper surface 1a, the side wall 31 is not provided. Can be introduced into the water storage section 35 from the small holes 30... 30 above the upper wall 32 in FIG. Further, for example, when water is supplied from a water tap, a water purifier G is attached to the faucet, and water once passed through the water purifier G is supplied to the container body 1.
In this case, the water purified to some extent can be further improved with a water quality improving agent, and can be made more efficient.

The water contained in the water storage section 35 comes into contact with the small crushed stones 2... 2 through the small holes 30. At this time, since the small crushed stones 2... 2 are arranged from the upper end to the lower end along the axis of the container body 1, all the water reaching from the upper end to the lower end in the water storage portion 35 of the container body 1 is removed. The crushed stones 2... 2 can be brought into contact with each other almost at the same time to elute trace elements. Thereby, the function of the small crushed stones 2... 2 can be efficiently exhibited, and a predetermined amount of a trace element can be contained in the whole water in the container body 1 in a short time. In the case where an absorbent or the like is used as the water quality improving agent, the water acts on the whole water in the container body 1 in the same manner and can function efficiently.

On the other hand, for example, when the small crushed stones 2... 2 are provided only at the bottom as in the prior art, only the bottom portion is heavier than the entire container body 1 due to the weight of the small crushed stones 2.
Handling such as removal of water becomes inconvenient. But,
In the present invention, since the small crushed stones 2... 2 are disposed on the axis of the container body 1, it is possible to prevent the bottom portion from becoming heavy and to maintain the overall balance of the container body 1. , And easy to handle.

On the other hand, it is most preferable that the holding member 3 is disposed on the shaft core as in the present embodiment in that the water quality improving agent can function over the entire water, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may be arranged so as to pass from the upper surface 1a to the bottom surface 1b at a predetermined angle or to pass from the left side to the right side.
It is necessary to pass between 12.

[0021]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides:
The water in the water storing section in the container body can be brought into contact with the water quality improving agent put in the water quality improving agent storing section from all around, so that the water quality improving agent can function efficiently. Thereby, it is convenient for the whole water in the container body to be improved in a short time. Moreover, the holding member 3
Has both ends held by the water inlet / outlet 11 and the convex portion 12.
And secure retention is realized. Further holding part
Because one end and the other end of the material 3 are symmetrical, one end and the other end
The holding member 3 is held in the container body 1 without distinguishing each end from the other.
It is easy to hold and convenient.
