Description

The present invention relates to a bathtub floating substance adsorbing device that adsorbs sebum, scale, hair, etc. floating on the water surface of the bathtub, and more particularly, a fun to play floating in the bathtub and a display part on the outer covering of the adsorber body. The present invention relates to a bathtub floating substance adsorbing tool that floats in a normal state in which the display unit does not lie on the water surface or sink in the water .

Bathing in a general household is to boil the water filled in the bathtub to an appropriate temperature, or after filling the bathtub with hot water from the water heater, the family takes a bath. Even if you add water and reheat it because it will decrease or cool down, or replenish hot water from a water heater, it will not replace the whole amount of hot water from the economic point of view.

Therefore, the sebum, dirt, hair, etc. of the person who took the bath first floats on the surface of the water or in the water, or adheres to the wall surface of the bathtub. However, not only was it difficult to scoop up the floats finely, but even if they were scooped up, the water was thrown away and wasted.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, an adsorbing device has already been proposed that floats an adsorbing device in a bathtub and adsorbs floating substances such as scale and hair. As one example, for example, several types of brushes with different lengths are mixed on the entire surface of the elastic ball, and air holes for adjusting the water surface and the ups and downs in the water are provided on the surface of the ball. A ball that removes floating matter in a plurality of bathtubs has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

As another, a bathtub scale adsorption sheet that is formed in a substantially oval or substantially rectangular sheet shape using lipophilic fibers as a material and floats on the bathtub has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2).
JP 2001-258774 A JP 2002-355185 A

  However, the ball that removes the suspended matter in the bathtub of Patent Document 1 cannot absorb and remove oil and odor components such as sebum and scale even if the hair is caught by a brush while floating on the water surface. There was a problem in that sebum floated on the surface of the water and there was a strange odor, and people who took a bath later could not take a bath comfortably.

  Moreover, the scale adsorption sheet for bathtubs of the said patent document 2 is an adsorption sheet of the magnitude | size which covers the substantially whole surface of a bathtub, even if it removes sebum, scales, etc. There is an inconvenience that it cannot be used while taking a bath. Also, the adsorbing sheet is relatively large, so it is difficult to place it in a bathroom with little space.

  Furthermore, both the above Patent Documents 1 and 2 are merely useful values for simply adsorbing floating substances, for example, there is no added value such as becoming a bathing toy that can enter and float together in a bathtub, Also, the toys that float on the conventional bathtubs are ordinary things such as plastic and wooden animals and vehicles, and are not interesting.

The present invention has been researched and developed to solve the above problems, and the display part applied to the outer cover of the suction tool body is in a normal state where it does not lie down on the water surface or sink into the water. The object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub floating material adsorbing tool that can be used as a fun toy while floating and adsorbing sebum, dirt, hair, etc. floating on the water surface.

As means for solving the above-mentioned problems and achieving the object, the present invention is an adsorbing device that floats on a bathtub and adsorbs suspended matter, wherein the core material is composed of a lipophilic fiber material having a specific gravity of 1 or less and a specific gravity of 1. The above lipophilic fiber material and buoyancy material are formed into a desired shape, and a lipophilic fiber material having a specific gravity of 1 or less and a buoyancy material are arranged from the middle layer portion to the upper layer portion, and a lipophilic fiber material having a specific gravity of 1 or more is arranged in the lower layer portion. and, and envelope outside skin of lipophilic fiber material the in the core material subjected to appropriate display unit to form a suction tool main body, face down adsorption device body when floated in a bath, the water surface is the display unit Developed and adopted a bathtub floating material adsorber characterized by floating in a normal state that does not sink or sink in water .

  The entire body of the adsorber is made of lipophilic fibers, and it can adsorb floating substances such as sebum, scale, and hair just by floating in the bathtub, especially oil and fat components such as sweat and sebum secreted from the body Since the odor component is efficiently adsorbed and purified, a person taking a bath later can enter clean hot water. In addition, it actively adsorbs floating sebum, scales, etc., so that it is less likely to adhere to the inner wall surface of the bathtub and become dirty, making it easy to clean and sufficient for use as washing water.

Further, a specific gravity less than one parent oily fiber material and specific gravity of one or more lipophilic fiber material and buoyant member to form a central core material are mixed in a predetermined ratio tare is, and a specific gravity less than one lipophilic fibrous material and at the top of the buoyancy member from the middle part, because are coordinated specific gravity of one or more lipophilic fibrous material in the lower portion, sucker body floats in a normal state in which the display unit is not sinking into water or face down on the water surface In addition, the dirt substance can be sterilized by the charcoal powder contained in the buoyancy material. Furthermore, by adding silver pieces to the above-mentioned core material, a further sterilization effect can be exhibited.

  The adsorber body can also be used as an unprecedented fiber floating toy, and can be used together as a bathing toy that can be played together in a bathtub.

  In addition, since a contamination confirmation unit that can determine the degree of dirt is provided on a part of the outer fabric, by checking the degree of contamination of the contamination confirmation unit, the purpose of washing can be understood. Can be used many times.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 9 show an adsorber body 1 of a bathtub floating material according to the present invention, and the adsorber body 1 is oleophilic. An outer cloth 2 knitted with fiber yarn, an oleophilic fiber material 3a having a specific gravity of 1 or less, and a lipophilic fiber material 3b having a specific gravity of 1 or more, and a buoyancy material. 3c and the hanging strap 4.

  The jacket cloth 2 is made of an oleophilic fiber material having affinity or adsorbability with respect to the oil and fat component. As the lipophilic fiber material, synthetic fiber yarns such as polypropylene having a specific gravity of 0.91, polyethylene having a specific gravity of 0.94, polyester having a specific gravity of 1.38, and polyvinyl chloride having a specific gravity of 1.39 are suitable, as shown in FIG. Thus, it is knitted into a vertically long cylindrical shape.

  A smile face display portion 11 is formed on the upper surface portion of the jacket cloth 2. In other words, the mouth portion 12 is knitted by knitting with a yarn having a different color from that of the jacket cloth 2, and the eyes 13, 13 are knitted with a yarn having a color different from that of the jacket fabric 2 and the mouth portion 12. Further, a circular contamination confirmation unit 14 knitted with white yarn is provided on the back surface of the smile face display unit 11. The contamination confirmation unit 14 becomes a standard when washing becomes more noticeable and stains become noticeable during repeated use.

  The core 3 is made of oleophilic synthetic fiber materials 3a and 3b, such as polypropylene and polyethylene having a specific gravity of 1 or less, polyester and polyvinyl chloride having a specific gravity of 1 or more, and a plastic pipe buoyancy with a specific gravity of 1 or less and a length of 4 to 8 mm. It is formed by mixing the material 3c. Polypropylene, polyethylene 3a, polyester, and polyvinyl chloride 3b can be knitted fabric, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, or their cutting waste cloth. Especially when cutting waste cloth is used, the loss of the cloth is eliminated and the generation of dust is also possible. Less. More preferably, the nonwoven fabric 3a is a polypropylene nonwoven fabric 3a having a specific gravity of 0.91 and a buoyant material that floats easily in water, a polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b having a specific gravity of 1.39, It is formed by mixing polyethylene pipe buoyancy material 3c containing powder.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a silver piece 3d is added to the core material 3 composed of the above-described polypropylene nonwoven fabric 3a, polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b, and polyethylene pipe buoyancy material 3c containing charcoal powder. In some cases, the intermediate core material 3 may be used, and in this case, the silver piece 3d has an effect of further sterilizing the soiled material.

  This polypropylene non-woven fabric 3a and polyvinyl chloride non-woven fabric 3b have an oil-fat component adsorbing capacity of 15 to 25 times their own weight, and therefore actively adsorb oily dirt such as sebum and sweat. Floats are also adsorbed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the core material 3 configured as described above is put into the bottom of the lower cylindrical body 2 b, and then the upper end portion thereof is bound with the binding band 5, and as shown in FIG. The cylinder 2a is reversed, overlapped with the lower cylinder 2b and covered with a double layer, the end 4a of the hanging strap 4 is inserted into the lower end opening 6, the lower end opening 6 is pulled and bound by the binding band 7 and adsorbed A tool body 1 is obtained, and is used upside down as shown in FIG.

  The shape of the adsorber body 1 is a smile face display unit 11, but if it is in the form of a fish, animal, plant, natural object, instrument, vehicle, or a popular character that is especially preferred by children, it will be a toy. As a function can be further enhanced.

  When the usage example of the present invention configured as described above is described, as shown in FIG. 9, when placed in a bathtub, the adsorbent body 1 floats on the water surface, and sebum, scale, and hair floating on the water surface are removed. It is adsorbed by the covering cloth 2. In particular, since the jacket cloth 2 is composed of a lipophilic fiber material, it actively adsorbs the oil component sebum and also removes the odor component, resulting in clean hot water. Even if this adsorption tool main body 1 is put in a bathtub, it can be used without getting in the way.

  Part of dirt such as sebum adsorbed on the outer cover cloth 2 penetrates into the outer cover cloth 2 and is adsorbed on the lipophilic fiber material of the core material 3. Further, a part of the dirt enters the inside, and the dirt and odor are gradually adsorbed. In addition, the core material 3 may contain not only the fiber materials 3a and 3b and the buoyancy material 3c but also a silver piece 3d.

The adsorber body 1 is a normal state in which the smile face display unit 11 does not always lie down on the water surface or sink in the water because the weight of the adsorbing tool body 1 is mixed by mixing the members constituting the core material 3 at a predetermined ratio. It has a fun to float on the surface of the water while it is made of fiber and has a function as a toy, and it feels healed by entering into the bathtub together.

  Furthermore, if it floats on the surface of the water not only during bathing but also after bathing, it absorbs dirt and the remaining hot water becomes clean and can be used as washing water. And when taking out hot water, it takes out, and the hanging strap 4 is hooked on a hanging tool etc. and dried so that it can be used next time.

  Moreover, if the contamination confirmation part 14 of the jacket cloth 2 becomes dirty by long-term use, it can be used repeatedly by washing. If the adsorption force of the core material 3 is saturated and the adsorption force decreases, the jacket cloth 2 and the fiber material 4 can be exchanged.

Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described.
Example 1
A cylindrical jacket 2 having a length of 27 cm was knitted with yellow-green polypropylene yarn, and one end opening was sewn and closed. The covering cloth 2 weighs 17 g. The mouth portion 12 is knitted by knitting a yellow polypropylene yarn at the center of the upper surface of the jacket cloth 2, and the eyes 13 and 13 are knitted by black yarn on the upper left and right of the mouth portion 12, and a smiley face is formed. The display unit 11 was formed. Further, a contamination confirmation unit 14 knitted circularly with white yarn is provided on the back surface of the smile face display unit 11.

On the other hand, distribution of the polypropylene nonwoven 3a 40 g, with placing the polyethylene pipes 3c containing charcoal powder length 6mm buoyancy material in the upper portion from the intermediate layer portion and 2g mixing, the polyvinyl chloride nonwoven 3b to 30g lower portion Thus, the spherical core material 3 having a diameter of 8 cm was formed. As a result, the outer cover cloth 2, the polypropylene nonwoven fabric 3a, and the buoyancy material 3c were combined to finish at a ratio of 66% by weight and the polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b at a ratio of 34% by weight.

As shown in FIG. 5, the core material 3 is placed in the lower cylindrical body 2b of the outer covering cloth 2, and the upper end portion thereof is bound by the binding band 5, and then the outer surface of the upper cylindrical body 2a as shown in FIG. Is reversed and the outer peripheral surface of the lower cylindrical body 2b is covered and double-coated, the lower end 4a of the hanging strap 4 is inserted into the lower end opening 6, the opening 6 is pulled and bound by the binding band 7, and the bathtub The suspended | floating matter adsorption tool main body 1 was obtained.
(Example 2)

Example 1 was the same as Example 1 except that the polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b as the middle core material of Example 1 was a polyester nonwoven fabric.
(Comparative Example 1)

The same as Example 1 except that 30 g of the polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b as the core material of Example 1 was changed to 20 g. As a result, the cover float 2, the polypropylene nonwoven fabric 3a, and the buoyancy material 3c were combined to obtain a bathtub floating substance adsorbing tool body 1 having a ratio of 75% by weight and a polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b of 25% by weight.
(Comparative Example 2)

The 40g of polypropylene nonwoven 3 a of the core material in the above Example 1, all except for the 30g was the same as in Example 1. As a result, a bath float adsorbent body 1 having a ratio of 62% by weight of the outer cover cloth 2, the polypropylene nonwoven fabric 3a, and the buoyancy material 3c and 38% by weight of the polyvinyl chloride nonwoven fabric 3b was obtained.

  The floating state of the adsorbent body 1 obtained in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and an oil absorption experiment were performed. As test conditions, four circular plastic containers having a diameter of 25 cm and a depth of 15 cm were prepared. Put 2 liters of 41 degree hot water into 4 containers, and add 60cc of cooking oil (Nisshin Oil Co., Ltd.) as a substitute for sebum, and the cooking oil spread on one side of the water surface. Put the suction tool body 1 of Example 1 in the first container, put the suction tool body 1 of Example 2 in the second container, and put the suction tool body 1 of Comparative Example 1 in the third container. The suction tool body 1 of Comparative Example 2 was placed in the second container.

As a result, the adsorber body 1 of Example 1 and Example 2 floated in a normal state in which the smile face display unit 11 did not lie down or sink in the water, and the water surface was floated to adsorb edible oil. When the absorption removal rate of edible oil floating on the surface of the water was measured visually, about 20% after about 5 minutes, about 40% after 10 minutes, about 60% after 15 minutes, 80% after 20 minutes, 30 It was confirmed that almost no oil floated on the water surface after the passage of minutes.

On the other hand, the suction tool main body 1 of Comparative Example 1 floated with the smile face display unit 11 lying on the surface of the water, and the display unit 11 could not be seen. Further, sucker body 1 of Comparative Example 2, a state sunk into the water, the display unit 11 of the scan mile face was in a state that is standing in water. Moreover, in the absorption removal rate of edible oil, although there was no big difference in Example 1, 2 and Comparative Examples 1, 2, the time until the oil which floated on the water surface almost disappeared was the direction of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. It took a while.

  As is clear from the above, both Examples 1 and 2 floated in a normal state, and it was recognized that they were sufficiently edible although they were edible oils. From this, it is clear that the same adsorption effect can be expected since sebum that is gradually coming out from the skin of the body is an oil component when bathed.

  As mentioned above, although main embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which can achieve the objective of this invention and does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it is various. Of course, the design can be changed.

  The present invention is not limited to a bathtub floating substance adsorbing device that adsorbs sebum, scale, hair, etc. floating on the water surface of the bathtub, but puts it in a washing tub of a washing machine and attaches dirt adhered to clothes to the laundry. It can also be used as a dirt adsorbing tool for washing to adsorb and prevent contamination.
