Further, the bottle main body 12 has a bottom portion 18, and the inner surface of the peripheral wall 18A of the bottom portion 18 is fixed to the outer surface of the lower end portion of the bellows portion 16 by heat fusion. Thus, the opening at the lower end of the bellows portion 16 is closed. The bottle body 12 can be easily manufactured in a state where the cylindrical portion 14, the bellows portion 16, the bottom portion 18 and the like are integrated by, for example, injection molding a synthetic resin having flexibility. In this case, if the cylindrical portion 14 is made slightly thicker than the bellows portion 16, there is no problem in strength. Moreover, since it has flexibility, the bellows part 16 can be easily expanded and contracted.

It is to be noted that, for example, the cylindrical portion 14, the bellows portion 16, and the bottom portion 18 may be separately formed, and may be integrated by bonding. As the bonding means, an adhesive may be used, or heat fusion may be used. Alternatively, ultrasonic fusion may be employed. Further, as the material, the bellows portion 16 may be made of resin or waterproof cloth, and the cylindrical portion 14 and the bottom portion 18 may be made of metal. However, according to the injection molding as described above, the production is easy and the cost is low. In addition, it is preferable because it is lightweight.

The center of the bottom wall 20 of the bottom 18 is the bellows 1
Diffusion protruding portion 2 also shown in FIG.
The diffusion protrusion 20A is set to 0A, and acts to radially diffuse the washing liquid (water for rinsing) during washing and rinsing.

As shown in FIG. 1, a lid 22 is provided above the bottle body 12. Peripheral wall 22 of lid 22
As shown in FIG. 2, a female screw 22B is formed on the inner surface of A. The female screw 22B is screwed to a male screw 14B also formed on the upper end of the cylindrical portion 14 and shown in FIG. 22 is fixed to the bottle main body 12. Thereby, the opening 12A shown in FIG. 1 at the upper end of the bottle body 12 is closed.

The central portion of the upper wall 24 of the lid 22 is
A concave portion 24B protrudes to the side, and a central portion of the concave portion 24B is formed with a mouth portion 26 that penetrates the upper wall 24 and protrudes upward in a cylindrical shape. FIG. 1 of the mouth 26
Has a height dimension that does not protrude above the upper surface of the upper wall 24 of the lid 22. Thereby, the mouth 26
Is prevented from being caught on an object.

On the outer peripheral surface of the mouth 26, a male screw 26 is provided.
A is formed, and a peripheral wall 28A is formed on the male screw 26A.
The mouth 26 is closed by screwing a female screw 28C of a cap 28 having a female screw 28C formed on the inner surface of the cap 28.

The bottom 2 of the concave portion 24B of the lid 22 has a mouth 2
6, a protruding piece 24 extending in the radial direction of the lid 22 from the vicinity of
D is protruded radially, and when attaching and detaching the lid 22, by hooking a finger on the protruding piece 24 </ b> D,
It is designed to prevent finger slippage. As shown in FIG. 1, a support 14D is formed in a ring shape on the upper side of the tube 14 along the entire inner surface of the tube 14, and a sheet member 30 is provided on the support 14D in FIG. As shown, lid 2
It is placed in a state where it has a very small space between the bottom 25 and the second bottom 25.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sheet member 30 includes a thin inner ring 32 coaxially arranged in the same plane.
A and a plurality of long blades 32C for connecting each ring are provided between A and the thin outer ring 32B. Each of the blades 32C extends radially from the inner ring 32A to the outer ring 32B, and intersects with a plane including the outer ring 32B (the inner ring 32A).
That is, when the washing liquid (water at the time of rinsing) passes through the gap 32D defined by the outer ring 32B, the inner ring 32A, and the blade 32C as a through hole of the sheet member 30, and the inside of the inner ring 32A, Outer ring 32B
It is provided in a state where a rotational force is applied around the axis of the (inner ring 32A). The blades 32 of the sheet member 30
By alternately reversing the direction in which C intersects the above surface, the washing liquid is alternately rotated clockwise and counterclockwise as the washing liquid moves back and forth in the gap 32D. Is preferred in that it forms a spiral.

The gap 32D and the inner ring 32A of the sheet member 30 are large enough to allow a washing liquid (water for rinsing) to pass therethrough and not large enough to pass laundry. When the bellows portion 16 is compressed, the washing bottle 10 configured as described above has a compact state as shown in FIG. 5 in which the lower end surface of the cylindrical portion 14 and the upper end surface of the peripheral wall 18A of the bottom portion 18 abut. It is supposed to be.

The washing bottle 1 constructed as described above
For example, when the inner diameter of the bottle body 12 is 11
The height dimension (vertical dimension in FIG. 5) at the time of storage shown in FIG. 5 is about 80 mm, and the maximum dimension at the time of washing shown in FIG.
Before and after. Since the washing bottle 10 has such a small size as described above, it can be easily carried by hand by a person and can be carried to a travel destination or a business trip destination.

Hereinafter, a case where washing is performed by the washing bottle 10 configured as described above will be described. With the lid 22 of the washing bottle 10 removed from the bottle body 12, laundry and a detergent (in some cases, a softening agent) are put through the opening 12 </ b> A of the bottle body 12 and the sheet member 3.
0 is placed on the support 14D.

Next, the lid 22 is screwed to the bottle main body 12, and water flows into the bottle main body 12 through the mouth 26. When water flows into the bottle body 12 appropriately, the supply of water is stopped, and the cap 28 is attached to the mouth 26. In this state, the washing bottle 10 is manually shaken, and the bellows portion 16 is expanded and contracted simultaneously with or independently of the swinging operation. As a result, the washing liquid (detergent dissolved in water)
The diffusion protrusion 20A of the bottom portion 18 diffuses radially, and the spiral protrusion 15 circulates the washing liquid in the bottle body 12 in a swirling manner, thereby efficiently interfering with the laundry and soiling the laundry. Acts to effectively wash away.

Further, by the expansion and contraction of the bellows portion 14, the laundry is washed with “mum” and “male”, and the spiral protrusion 1 is washed.
5 to effectively remove dirt. In this case, the spiral projection 15 has a gentle curved surface at the tip end 15A as described above, so that the laundry is not damaged and the laundry smoothly moves along the expansion and contraction direction of the bellows portion 16. become able to.

At the time of the washing, the washing liquid passes through the gap 32D of the sheet member 30 and the inner ring 32A, whereby the sheet member 30 rotates around its axis. By rotating the sheet member 30 in this manner, the washing liquid can be formed into a so-called spiral shape, and the cleaning effect is increased. After the washing is completed, the cap 28 is removed, the washing bottle 10 is turned upside down (the state in which the cap 28 is positioned below), and the bellows 16 is compressed. Thereby, the washing liquid in the washing bottle 10 is discharged to the outside through the mouth 26. In this discharge, the laundry is blocked by the sheet member 30 and is prevented from being clogged in the mouth 26 of the lid 22, so that the laundry liquid can be discharged well.

Next, the washing bottle 10 is set in an upright state (a state in which the cap 28 is located at an upper position), and rinsing water is caused to flow into the washing bottle 10 through the mouth 26, and the same operation as the above-described washing operation is performed. The washing bottle 10 is turned upside down and the bellows 16 is compressed (dewatering). In the above-mentioned washing and rinsing, when the material is delicate such as silk, washing and rinsing can be performed without damaging the material by making the expansion and contraction speed of the bellows portion 16 gentle. On the other hand, when the material is less painful such as a chemical fiber, a sufficient cleaning effect can be promptly exerted by increasing the stretching speed of the bellows portion 16.

As described above, washing, rinsing, and dewatering are performed. In the present embodiment, the sheet member 30 is provided to prevent the laundry from being clogged in the mouth 26, so that the laundry is taken out. Without rinsing, rinsing and dewatering can be carried out satisfactorily and continuously. Therefore, when rinsing and spin-drying are performed after the washing is completed, the labor for removing the laundry can be omitted. Further, in the above embodiment, since washing, rinsing and spin-drying are performed manually, electricity is not required as a driving source.

[0026]

According to the present invention, a substantially cylindrical bottle main body having a bottom and a telescopic bellows on the bottom side is formed, and a mouth which is communicated with the inside of the bottle main body and can be closed. Since the lid for closing the opening of the bottle body is provided, it is possible to provide an inexpensive and portable washing bottle suitable for washing laundry such as socks and underwear for women. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a washing bottle that can be washed without damaging the material even if the material is, for example, silk. In the present invention, the sheet member 3
Since it has 0, the washing liquid can be swirled at the time of washing, and also has a spiral projection 15, so that the stains on the laundry can be effectively washed away.
