Description

The present invention relates to a whisk for producing fine bubbles to be used when shaving or washing a face using a soap such as liquid soap or solid soap.

Conventionally, when foam is made from soap for shaving or face washing, the soap is foamed using a net or brush.

Prior art will be described. There is a method of squeezing a net and lathering soap out (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). In addition, there is a method in which soap is foamed with a bundle of synthetic resin threads (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

Hereinafter, a conventional whisk will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 9. FIG. 7 shows an external view of a whisk that uses a cylindrical net, which is incorporated from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228707, and describes what creates a bubble by swallowing the net. FIG. 8 shows an external view of a whisk that is used from Patent Document 2 and is characterized by using a plain weave fabric. Like Patent Document 1, a net made of fibers is swallowed to create bubbles. It is.

FIG. 9 shows an external view of a whisk that is incorporated from Patent Document 3 and bundles synthetic resin yarns. This is characterized by mixing bubbles with soap, water and air by swallowing a bundle of elastic yarns made into a brush.

Conventionally, when making soap bubbles used for shaving and face washing as described above, bubbles were made from soap using a net or brush. However, since both use fibrous materials, soap is likely to remain between the net and brush fibers, and cleaning after use is not easy. In addition, when not in use, it is difficult to dry and various germs are likely to propagate.

  Also, when filling the foam with your hands, you have to use both hands, which is inconvenient when you have a foam on both hands and you use a shave. .

  The object of the present invention is to solve such problems and to make bubbles from soap and face wash.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention enables a cylindrical container having a spherical ceiling part in which a rollable spherical object is contained to be separated into an upper part and a lower part with a material having no water absorption, such as metal or plastic. Make a container. In addition, a partition made of metal or plastic with a gap between which liquid such as water or hot water and soap can move up and down is put in the container. In addition, by making the partition into a hemispherical net and by providing irregularities on the surface of the spherical object, the spherical object can easily roll in the hemispherical partition and the container. Put a proper amount of facial cleanser such as soap and hot water and shake the container to disperse and mix the soap and liquid in the container, create bubbles, and a spherical object rotates inside the upper container and the soap and liquid inside the upper container. And stir the air and promote soap bubbles.

The partition can be detached and disassembled so that it can be cleaned and dried.

Further, in order to solve the second problem, a hemispherical partition with a gap and an upper container containing a spherical object and a lower container are separated, and the lower container is used as a bubble reservoir. .

As described above, the whisk of the present invention is hygienic because it is easy to clean and dry after use because it does not use water-absorbing and water-holding materials such as fibers and hair.

  Further, since the spherical object rotates in the mesh-like partition and the container to stir the liquid and air such as soap and water or hot water, the stirring speed is faster than when swallowed by hand, and bubbles can be made finely.

  A spherical object that rotates and rolls in the upper container and on the hemispherical partition tries to push out the generated foam to the outside by centrifugal force. Therefore, the foam is easily discharged from the partition and collected in the lower container, and the lower container can be used as a foam container.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing an internal structure by cutting a part of a container showing the present invention. A spherical object C placed in the upper container A stays in the upper container A by a ring-shaped partition D attached along the inner periphery of the side, and soap and water or water or Liquid such as hot water can move between the upper container A and the lower container B. By placing a liquid such as soap and water and hot water in the lower container B and shaking, the mixture is stirred in the containers A and B, and the spherical object C is rolled in the upper container A to promote stirring.

FIG. 2 is a view showing the internal structure of the container of the present invention in which the partition is formed in a hemispherical net shape in order to enhance the foaming effect. The lower container B is configured to be separably joined to the upper container A and the lower container B by a screw tightening structure or the like. Hereinafter, the whisk shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to a specific example of FIG.

FIG. 3 shows the inside of the upper container. A is the upper part of the container and the part that hits the lid. The shape of the ceiling of the upper inner surface is made spherical to make it easier for the spherical object C to roll in the partition and the container. And the protrusion F used as the resistance of the flow of soap water is provided in an internal side surface. This is to make it easier to mix with the air when the soapy water is stirred, and the same effect can be obtained by using a groove-like object instead of the protrusion F.

A mesh-like partition E having a hemispherical gap is attached to the inner surface of the upper part of the container. Since the spherical object C rotates while rotating on the inner surface of the container and the partition, the mesh-like partition E is made of a material that can maintain its shape such as metal or plastic. Moreover, although this partition E can also produce a bubble by the partition of the shape shown in FIG. 4 which is not mesh-shaped, when compared with an experimental result, a mesh-shaped partition can produce a fine bubble efficiently.

C in FIG. 5 is a spherical object with irregularities on the surface contained in the container. In this figure, a large number of protrusions G are attached to the surface of the sphere, but a good effect can be obtained by using a polyhedral concavo-convex sphere, for example, a sphere having an outer shape such as a golf ball.

FIG. 6 shows the lower container. It is a part that can be attached to and detached from the upper container, and is the part where the foam is collected. When shaving or washing your face, it becomes a container that collects foam.

An appropriate amount of soap and a liquid that promotes foaming of soap, such as water or hot water, is put in the container of the present invention, and the container is put in the bottom when it is stirred and gripped with a palm, or is applied to a net. A liquid such as water or hot water diffuses into the container through a gap in a mesh-like partition in the container and mixes with air to form bubbles. Further, the spherical object in the upper container rolls on the inner surface of the container and the net-like partition by centrifugal force, thereby further facilitating the formation of fine bubbles. Bubbles accumulated inside the mesh-like partition in the upper container are pushed out by a spherical object that rolls by centrifugal force and accumulates outside the mesh-like partition, that is, in the lower container. This function is repeated while the container is being stirred to produce fine bubbles. The foam thus produced is collected in a lower container, and when the foam is separated into an upper container and a lower container, the lower container is used as a foam reservoir. The foam stored in the foam storage container can be scooped up with one hand and can prevent the hand on the side holding the razor or the like from being soiled. Further, when the container or partition is made of a non-water-absorbing material such as metal or plastic, there is no water absorption and water retention, and the soap can be easily washed away after use.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the soap agent and the liquid are mixed in the container as an example. However, when using the liquid soap in which the soap agent is in a liquid state in advance, only the soap agent is used. Even if it is used, the same effect can be obtained, and is interpreted as the scope of implementation of the present plan.
