Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a washing material, and more particularly to a washing material using charcoal to obtain a cleaning effect.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, pollution of rivers and lakes by domestic wastewater has become a major problem, and synthetic detergents are a representative of the causative substances. Synthetic detergents may also remain on washed clothes and affect the health of the wearer, and there is a concern about their use.

As a countermeasure for these problems, there is a movement to use a more easily decomposable soap instead of a synthetic detergent. However, soaps generally have weaker detergency than synthetic detergents, and therefore, commercially available laundry soaps often contain fatty acids or the like to supplement this weak detergency. The fact is that the wastewater is contaminated as described above.

[0006] Therefore, washing methods and cleaning agents that do not adversely affect the natural environment and the human body are being sought, and charcoal is drawing attention as one of them.

[0005] Charcoal releases metal ions and the like in water, and draws out components of dirt from the fibers by the metal ions and the like to decompose and thereby provide a cleaning effect. The addition of salt at the time of washing provides a bleaching effect. The wastewater after washing with charcoal and salt in this way contains only a trace amount of ions that exist in nature and dirt components eluted from the laundry, so that the effect on the environment can be minimized. . In addition, there is no concern about rough skin and other adverse effects on the human body due to the detergent.

[0006]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As a method of using such charcoal in a washing machine, for example, wrapping several charcoals in a foam resin tray or the like so as to float on water, and further using old socks and the like A method of completely covering with an exterior body is adopted.

[0007] However, when charcoal is used in a columnar form, the active ingredient is not sufficiently released due to the small surface area, and as a result, there is a problem that the cleaning effect is insufficient and the number of reusable times is small. .

[0008] Furthermore, there is also a problem that the outer body such as old socks is easily worn and broken by repeated use in a washing machine. In addition, charcoal may rub against each other, generating charcoal powder and soiling the laundry.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a washing material which has a good cleaning effect, can be used repeatedly many times, and has no trouble such as breakage or leakage of charcoal powder. I do.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a laundry material according to claim 1 is a laundry material comprising a charcoal, a float, and a covering member covering the charcoal and the float, wherein the charcoal is a granular material obtained by crushing white charcoal. In addition, it is assumed that the covering member has elasticity and covers the granular charcoal and the float in a tight state.

The laundry material according to claim 2 is a laundry material comprising charcoal, a float, and a covering member that covers the charcoal and the float, wherein the charcoal is granular white charcoal having a particle size of about 5 to 12 mm, The covering member is formed of an elongated bag having elasticity, the charcoal is put into the bag, and the bag is tied with a first tying member so that the particles of charcoal are kept tight. Forming a substantially spherical charcoal-filled portion, turning the bag body over from the place tied with the first tying device, covering the charcoal-filled portion, inserting a float into the bag body, The bag is tied with a second tying member so that the portion and the float are kept tight, and the bag is turned upside down from the place where the bag is tied with the second tying member, and It shall cover the charcoal-filled part and be tied with a third tying device at almost the top of the charcoal-filled part .

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a laundry material A according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the internal structure of the laundry material A.

As shown in these figures, the laundry material A includes a granular charcoal 30, a float 40, a covering member 10 for covering them, and binding members 21, 22, 23 for binding the covering member 10. You.

The granular charcoal 30 is obtained by crushing high-hardness white charcoal fired at a high temperature into an appropriate size, and for example, bincho charcoal baked with Ubamegashi is preferably used. Black charcoal and low-quality white charcoal are not suitable for use because they have low hardness and may become powdery during use and soil laundry.

The particle size of the granular charcoal 30 is not particularly limited, but if it is too small, it may pass through the stitches of the covering member 10, and if it is too large, a sufficient washing effect cannot be obtained, so that it is preferably about 5 to 12 mm.

The filling amount of the granular charcoal 30 is not particularly limited, and may be determined according to the size of the washing machine, the amount of laundry, and the like. However, when used in a current average home washing machine, 100 g is used. The degree is a rough guide.

The float 40 is for floating the laundry material A in water, and here is a column made of a foamed resin, but the shape and size thereof are not particularly limited. As the foamed resin, for example, polystyrene foam can be used, but this is not particularly limited.

The covering member 10 is made of a bag of elastic knitted fabric, and is repeatedly folded back at the portion bound by the binding devices 21 and 22 so that the granular charcoal 30 is converted into the first layer 11 and the second layer 11. The layer 40 is double-coated with the layer 12 and the third layer 13, and the float 40 is double-coated with the second layer 12 and the third layer 13.

The material of the covering member 10 is not particularly limited, but a material that is strong and easily obtains elasticity is preferable. For example, nylon is suitably used.

The binding members 21, 22, and 23 are string members made of resin here, but are not particularly limited as long as they do not break or loosen during use.

The above-described laundry material A is manufactured as follows.

FIGS. 3A to 3E are diagrams illustrating a method of manufacturing the laundry material A.

First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), a predetermined amount of granular charcoal (not shown) is filled in a bag body 10 constituting a covering member, and the filling material is adjusted into a substantially spherical shape. Fastening is performed with the tying member 21 so that no gap is formed between them. Thereby, the charcoal-filled portion 31 in which the granular charcoal is covered with the first layer 11 is formed.

Next, the opening-side end of the bag body 10 is folded back as shown by the arrow and covered with the charcoal-filled portion 31 to be in the state shown in FIG. Thereby, the second layer 12 is formed around the charcoal filling portion 31.

Next, the float 40 is inserted from the opening of the bag body 10 as shown by a white arrow in (b), and the space between the charcoal filling portion 31 and the float 40 is inserted as shown in (c). Is tied up with the tying tool 22 so that no gap is formed in the space.

Further, the opening-side end of the bag body 10 is folded back as shown by the arrow, and is covered with the float 40 and the charcoal-filled portion 31 to be in the state shown in FIG. Thereby, the third layer 13 is formed around the charcoal filling portion 31.

Finally, as shown in (e), the opening of the bag body 10 is tied with the tying member 23, and the laundry material A is completed.

[0029] The laundry material of the present invention having the above-described structure is put into a washing machine together with laundry instead of soap or detergent and used. At that time, it is preferable to add about 1 teaspoon of salt to obtain a bleaching effect. The washing time and the like may be appropriately determined according to the type of laundry, the state of dirt, and the like, and rinsing may be performed only once. The washing material is preferably dried each time after washing, so that good washing power can be maintained for a longer time.

[0030]

【Example】

 The detergency of the laundry material of the present invention was compared with the case where the synthetic detergent was used and the case where the laundry was washed only with water as follows.

1. Structure of Laundry Material Laundry material A described in the section of the embodiment of the invention was prepared using the following materials.

Charcoal-Tosa Bincho charcoal (raw material: Ubamegashi, firing temperature: 1300 ° C, particle size: 5 to 12 mm, hardness: 20 degrees) Cylindrical body (dimensions: diameter 49 mm x height 30 mm, foaming degree: 30 times)

[0033] 2. Test method and results Two samples were prepared by attaching five types of stain components (ink, sauce, curry, ketchup, poster color) to a 10 cm x 10 cm white cotton cloth. Was washed. Washing was carried out in accordance with JIS-L-0217 103 method, and after washing, air drying was performed.

[0034] Two samples (original and after the washing treatment) were placed side by side for each soil component, and the degree of soil removal was determined based on the following criteria. Table 1 shows the results.

Grade 5: Completely dropped. Grade 4: Significantly dropped. Grade 3: Dropped to some extent. Grade 2: Slightly dropped. Grade 1: Not dropped.

[0036]

[Table 1]

As can be seen from Table 1, the laundry material of the present invention showed the same detergency as the synthetic detergent.

Further, when the number of times of use in which the initial cleaning power was maintained was examined, it was confirmed that about 60 times of use was possible with a capacity of 4.2 kg.

[0039]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the laundry material of the first aspect uses granular charcoal, the charcoal has a large surface area. Accordingly, the active ingredient for cleaning is sufficiently released, and as a result, an excellent cleaning effect is obtained, and the effect lasts long after repeated use. In addition, since high-hardness white charcoal is used, there is little risk that the charcoal becomes powdery and leaks from the covering member, thereby soiling the laundry.

Moreover, since the charcoal is covered with the covering member having elasticity in a tight state, it is possible to prevent the charcoal particles from rubbing each other in the covering member and becoming powdery.

In the case of the second aspect, by setting the particle size of the charcoal to a specific range, the above-mentioned cleaning effect and its durability are remarkably excellent. Further, since the charcoal-filled portion is covered with three layers and the float is covered with two layers, the charcoal particles are held more tightly and are prevented from rubbing and becoming powdery. There is no danger that the covering member itself will be damaged by wear and the contents will be exposed.
