[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a shower nozzle 101 as one embodiment of the present invention. The schematic configuration of the shower nozzle 101 includes a hollow cylindrical grip 1 having a predetermined length and thickness. A hose joint 2 for connecting to a hot water supply source is attached to the closed proximal end of the grip 1, and a disc-shaped nozzle 3 for jetting hot water in a shower shape is mounted on the open distal end. The cap 4 provided integrally is detachably attached. Further, in the inner space a of the grip 1, an effect component exuding unit A1, which will be described later, is exchangeably accommodated.

Next, a specific configuration of each of the above components will be described. The grip 1 is configured such that a nozzle side portion near the tip is bent at an acute angle of 90 degrees or more.

A fitting groove b is provided at an inner peripheral wall of a cap 4 having a predetermined height, which is detachably screwed to a tip of the grip 1, at a position a predetermined distance from the nozzle 3, for example, about 6 mm. Provided. A circular net-shaped perforated plate 5 is detachably fitted in the fitting groove b.

On the other hand, a fitting groove b for detachably fitting another perforated plate 6 similar to the perforated plate 5 is also provided on the inner peripheral wall at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the tip of the grip 1. The two perforated plates 5 and 6 serve to hold the effect component exuding unit A1 at a predetermined position in the inner space a as shown in the figure.

Next, the effect component exuding unit A 1 of this embodiment is placed in a water-permeable container 11 having a size that can be accommodated in an inner space a partitioned between two perforated plates 5 and 6. It has a configuration in which an effect substance 12 having one or more of various effects such as medicine, fragrance and the like is stored. The water-permeable container 11 of this embodiment is made of a non-woven bag, and the effect substance 12 is green tea leaves.

The water-permeable container 11 may be made of various water-permeable sheet materials, plastic or metal net-like material, or the like, processed into a bag shape, or made of plastic or metal plate as a material. It may be formed into a perforated container. In such a case, the used effect substance 12 may be replaced with a two-part structure having a lid part and a body part so that the substance can be used repeatedly.

Various substances other than tea leaves can be used as the effect substance 12 as long as it contains a water-soluble substance that has been confirmed for at least one of various effects such as beauty, medical treatment, fragrance and the like. For example, citrus peel, various herbs and medicinal herbs, commercially available “hot springs”, and the like.

Next, how to use the shower nozzle 101 will be described. First, when the utility component exuding unit A1 is unnecessary, the cap 4 is once removed, and the utility component exuding unit A1 is taken out from the inner space a of the grip 1, so that it can be used as a normal shower nozzle.

When it is desired to use the utility component exuding unit A 1, the cap 4 is removed, the utility component exuding unit A 1 is pushed into the inner space a through the distal end opening of the grip 1, and received by the perforated plate 6 on the back side. Thereafter, when the cap 4 is fitted, the effect component exuding unit A1 is held between the front and rear perforated plates 5, 6 and held at a predetermined position in the inner space a. Thus, the preparation for using the shower nozzle 101 is completed very simply and quickly.

The front perforated plate 5 prevents the effect component exuding unit A1 from being pressed by water pressure and closely attached to the back surface of the nozzle 3, thereby preventing the nozzle hole from being closed. Further, the mixing region c formed between the perforated plate 5 and the nozzle 3 also serves to uniformly mix the exudate from the effect substance 12 into warm water.

When the hot water tap (not shown) is opened when the shower nozzle 101 is used, the pressurized hot water flowing into the inner space a of the grip 1 is forcibly passed through the tea leaf layer of the effect component exuding unit A1. During this time, the water-soluble active ingredients contained in the green tea leaves are leached moderately. As described above, the exudate is uniformly mixed with the warm water by itself while passing through the mixing area c, and then spouts out of the nozzle 3 in a shower shape.

It is widely known to the general public through many media that green tea contains various beneficial ingredients that are taken into the body by drinking and that help keep the body healthy. I'm going. It is natural from a physiological point of view that shower water in which such an effect component is dissolved has a certain effect if it comes into contact with somatic cells constituting the skin.

[0018] Besides the physiological effects, the aroma emitted by green tea creates a kind of calm atmosphere in the bathroom. And although there are individual differences, it can also have the effect of smoothing the skin. According to recent studies, green tea has also been found to have the effect of removing chlorine in tap water.

The overnight use or one-time use of the utility component exuding unit A1 may be performed by removing the cap 4 once and replacing it with a new utility component exuding unit A1. Since the shower nozzle 101 can be disassembled into a plurality of parts as described above, if the inner space a becomes dirty, it can be easily washed and cleaned.

When the shower nozzle 101 is not used, it is normal to place the shower nozzle 101 vertically as shown in FIG. 1 and hang it on a dedicated hook (not shown). In this state, the utility component exuding unit A1 is housed in a location where the nozzle side portion of the grip 1 is bent downward at an acute angle.

Therefore, there is no need to cause a problem that the water containing the utility component oozing out from the utility component exuding unit A1 flows back to the grip side portion 1B of the grip 1. When the shower nozzle 101 is not used on a hook, the shower water stays in the inner space a. However, the water in the downward bent portion is discharged from the hole of the nozzle 3 through the hole of the nozzle 3. Will be discharged. Therefore, there is no need to cause a problem that the utility component excessively exudes from the utility component exuding unit A1 while the shower nozzle is stopped.

FIG. 2 shows a shower nozzle 102 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the shower nozzle 101 of the first embodiment is that the effect component exuding unit A2 in which an effect substance having a water quality improving effect is filled in the inner space a on the grip side of the grip 1 is freely inserted and removed. It is in. In order to make this possible, the grip 1 has a two-part structure in the longitudinal direction, and this part d can be engaged and disengaged by screwing or fitting.

In the effect component exuding unit A 2 of this embodiment, a cartridge type water-permeable container 11 is filled with activated carbon as an effect substance 12. The effect substance 12 having a water quality improving effect is not limited to activated carbon, but may be activated clay, barley stone, ceramics, or the like.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a utility component exuding unit A3 as a third embodiment. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the water-permeable container 11 with the lid 11a is formed in a conical cylindrical shape that gradually narrows toward the bottom surface. The upper end of the peripheral wall is enlarged in diameter to provide a stepped portion e.

On the other hand, the tip of the grip 1 is also enlarged in diameter to provide a step portion f for receiving the step portion e of the water-permeable container 11. In this embodiment, the perforated plates 5 and 6 become unnecessary. As the effect substance 12, a substance obtained by impregnating a porous particle such as pearlite or ceramic with an extract or the like from the effect substance is used.

In the water permeable container 11 of this embodiment, pressurized hot water flows from the entire surface of the peripheral wall surface and the bottom surface, and there are many voids between the granular effect substances 12. The warm water passage resistance can be reduced accordingly. In addition, the leaching speed of the effect component and the degree of water resistance can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the particle size.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a utility component exuding unit A4 as a fourth embodiment. In the water-permeable container 11 of this embodiment, only the bottom surface and the lid 11a of the container are formed in a perforated plate shape or a net shape. The water permeable container 11 is made large enough to fit in the inner space a between the front and rear perforated plates 5 and 6.

As the effect substance 12 to be filled in the water-permeable container 11, for example, a porous pellet made by mixing the effect substance and a granulating agent or the like is used. Instead of these pellets, the user can select from herbs, medicinal herbs, citrus peels, etc. grown in the vegetable garden, depending on their mood, or mix them appropriately. Can also be used.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a utility component exuding unit A5 as a fifth embodiment. In this embodiment, the water-permeable container 11 is not used, and the two perforated plates 5 and 6 have a role to substitute for the water-permeable container 11.

That is, in this embodiment, the effect substance 12 is obtained by impregnating a sponge plate 13 provided with irregularities on one entire surface thereof into a roll cake and forming the carrier into a cylindrical shape. Is used. As a method of the impregnation treatment, for example, the sponge plate 13 may be impregnated with an exudate of a herb or a suspension dispersion of a powdery effective substance together with an adhesive, and then dried. Instead of the sponge plate 13, a fibrous agglomerate similar to a nonwoven fabric may be used.

The disposable utility component exuding unit A5 is held at a predetermined position by simply removing the cap 4 and pushing it in until it reaches the perforated plate 6 on the back side, and then fitting the cap 4 again.
