FIG. 1 is a schematic side view (a) and side sectional view (b) of a solid bath additive according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic side sectional view of a solid bath additive included in a bathing product.

The solid bath additive 1 is made of a water-soluble material and has a spherical shape with a diameter of 25 to 55 mm, and has an internal space 11, which is a cavity with a predetermined volume, formed inside. First, the ingredients of the solid bath additive 1 include inorganic salts such as sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, Preferably, the main component is either magnesium sulfate or sodium metasilicate. Furthermore, in order to enhance the thermal effect, we use herbal medicines such as fennel, scutellariae, scutellariae, chamomile, kobo, rice fermented extract, japonica, calamus, nebula, chimpi, ginger, spruce, chili pepper, carrot, yuzu, mugwort, chinensis, mentha. May contain leaves, ginger, licorice, and cinnamon bark. Also contains liquid lanolin, jojoba oil, glycerin, casein, stearyl alcohol, olive oil, soybean oil, liquid paraffin, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, skim milk powder, squalane, honey, polyethylene glycol, rice germ oil, etc. for moisturizing effects. It's okay to stay. In addition, coloring agents such as riboflavin (vitamin B2), carotene, chlorophyll, Yellow No. 202-(1), Yellow No. 4, Blue No. 1, Green No. 201, Green No. 204, etc. are used to color the hot water. It's okay to stay. It may also contain enzymes such as papain, pancreatin, proteolytic enzymes, etc. for skin cleansing effects. Also, as a blowing agent for generating carbon dioxide gas, organic acids such as succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, etc. can be used in combination with carbonates such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium chloride. May contain. It may also contain fragrances, such as known natural fragrances and synthetic fragrances. The solid bath additive 1 is obtained by powdering these components and compressing them into a predetermined shape. Here, although the predetermined shape is spherical in this embodiment, it is not limited to this, and may be a spherical shape, a columnar shape, a polyhedral shape, or a shape that is a three-dimensional embodiment of a predetermined design.

The internal space 11 is a cavity formed inside the solid bath additive 1, and its volume needs to be large enough to accommodate at least the compressed bath product 13. Here, when making the solid bath additive 10 containing a bathing product floating in water or hot water, the volume of the internal space 11 is preferably 30% or more, and 50% or more of the volume of the solid bath additive 1. It is even more preferable that there be. Further, the shape can be any shape as long as it can accommodate the internal container 12 and bathing supplies 13.

Furthermore, if the solid bath additive 1 is to be oriented in a specific direction above the water surface when suspended in water or hot water, it is preferable that its mass center M and geometric center G are at different positions. By doing this, the position where the center of mass M is located will be directed downwards (below the water surface). Furthermore, it is preferable that the center of mass M is located at a location other than the interior space 11 so that the interior space always faces above the water surface.

Inside the internal space 11, compressed and solidified bathing products 13 are contained. The bathing products 13 are bath-related products that can be compressed to a size that can be stored in the internal space 11 and solidified. For example, towels and sponges are preferred. In the case of towels, the material is preferably polyester, cotton, or a mixture of both. On the other hand, even if it cannot be compressed and solidified, it can be stored even if the amount (volume) used in one bath is less than or equal to the volume of the internal space 11. For example, consumables such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body wash.

The compressed and solidified bathing article 13 may be stored as is in the internal space 11, but it is preferable to store it in the internal container 12 so that it does not easily lose its shape during transportation, storage, and use. The inner container 12 is preferably formed of a water-insoluble material. For example, a known plastic capsule that can be divided into two pieces may be used, or a similarly known plastic capsule may be used.
It may be tightly packaged with heat-shrinkable film. Further, liquids such as shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are preferably stored in aluminum vapor-deposited packs. Here, the inner container 12 is not limited to a spherical shape, and any shape can be used as long as it can be accommodated in the inner space 11.

Note that when the internal container 12 is stored, it is preferable that the extra space in the internal space 11 be as small as possible. That is, it is preferable that the surface of the inner container 12 be in contact with the inner wall of the inner space 11. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner container 12 is embedded in the solid bath additive 1, but this reduces the risk that the solid bath additive 1 will easily lose its shape due to impact or external force. It becomes possible to do so. The same applies when the bathing supplies 13 are directly stored in the internal space 11 without using the internal container 12.

By adopting such a form, the bathing article 13 is exposed when the solid bathing agent 1 is dissolved in water or hot water.

Here, in order to restore the shape of compressed and solidified bath products, the compressed state is generally released with water or hot water, but by forming the inner container 12 with a water-permeable material or structure, it is possible to smoothly This is preferable because the shape can be restored. Paper, cloth, porous materials, etc. can be used as water-permeable materials. Further, as the water-permeable structure, a through hole formed in the inner container 12, a net shape, or the like is preferable.

On the other hand, when the bathing supplies 13 are consumables such as the above-mentioned shampoos and soaps, especially liquids, they are preferably made of a water-blocking material or structure so as not to flow out into the bath. For example, it is preferable to seal a plastic capsule or use the aluminum vapor-deposited pack described above.

Since the solid bath additive 10 containing the bathing product can float in water or hot water, its apparent specific gravity (ratio of the density of the solid bathing additive 10 containing the bathing product (weight divided by its volume) and the density of water) It is preferable to adjust the weight and volume of the solid bath additive 1, the volume of the internal space 11, and the weights of the internal container 12 and bath article 13 so that

By maintaining the solid bath additive 10 containing the bathing product floating near the water surface, the eluted components sink from the water surface toward the bottom of the bath and are diffused throughout the bath by thermal convection of the bath water.

According to this invention, by storing the bathing supplies 13 in the solid bathing agent 1, the trouble of separately preparing them can be omitted.

Moreover, since the solid bath additive 1 does not sink in water or hot water but dissolves while floating, its position and remaining amount can be checked at all times, and furthermore, the diffusion and dissolution into the bath water proceed smoothly.

Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the center of mass M of the solid bath additive 1, the specific gravity of the solid bath additive 10 included in the bathing product, and the volume of the internal space 11 to appropriate values, the desired side can be oriented toward the upper side of the water surface. It can be made to float, allowing it to be used as a toy.

Although the embodiments of the invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but also extends to other forms that can be considered the same.

For example, the solid bath additive 1 is not limited to the spherical shape as in the embodiment, but may be formed in a spherical, columnar, polyhedral, or three-dimensional shape of a predetermined design. For example, the solid bath additive 20 containing a bathing product shown in FIG. 4 has a shape that resembles a ship, but by making it a shape that embodies a vehicle or machine in this way, it can also function as a toy. becomes. In this case, it is preferable that the internal space 21 be formed at a position facing above the water surface (in this case, on the bridge).

Similarly, although the solid bath additive 30 shown in FIG. 5 has a shape that resembles a whale, similar effects may be achieved with products embodying water-related creatures such as other marine mammals, fish, waterfowl, and amphibians. is obtained. In this case, it is preferable that the internal space 31 be created on the side where the creature normally faces upwards underwater (in this case, above the head).

Furthermore, it is also possible to store two or more bath products or two or more types of bath products in one solid bath additive.
