Description

  The present invention relates to a soap bubble liquid composition, and more specifically, liquid dripping is performed after a ring-shaped instrument made of a blower such as a straw or a wire is immersed until a soap bubble is generated. It is difficult to generate and excellent in usability, and even if a child uses a blower such as a straw, a soap bubble can be easily generated, and even if a ring-shaped instrument having a large diameter is used, a soap bubble can be easily generated, Further, the present invention relates to a soap bubble liquid composition that is difficult to break and excellent in sustainability.

  Soap bubbles have been widely used since ancient times as one of children's play equipment and stage / drama props. As a typical method for generating soap bubbles, there are a method using a blowing tool such as a straw and a method using a ring-shaped instrument made of a wire or the like. Specifically, the former is a method of generating a soap bubble by immersing the tip of the blowing tool in a soap bubble liquid to apply a film and blowing in from the rear end. The latter is a method of creating a soap bubble by immersing the ring portion in a soap bubble solution, applying a film, moving the instrument by hand, or blowing a breath. In the latter method, it is possible to generate soap bubbles having various sizes by changing the size of the ring portion, and a large soap bubble can be generated by increasing the diameter of the ring. Another method is the use of an automatic generator that generates a large amount of soap bubbles for a party venue.

  The soap bubble liquid is usually made of a surfactant as a main component, and can easily be obtained by diluting a commercial kitchen neutral detergent or household liquid detergent with water. However, with such a soap bubble liquid, the generated soap bubbles are easy to break, and are not satisfactory as play tools or stage / drama props. Also, when a ring-shaped instrument is used, it is difficult to generate a soap bubble because the film does not stretch well on the ring part. Liquid dripping occurs between the two and the usability is poor. In order to solve these problems, various soap bubble liquids have been proposed.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a soap bubble containing a polyglycerin fatty acid ester type nonionic surfactant. However, since the viscosity of the soap bubble liquid is low, the sustainability of the generated soap bubble was not sufficient. So, in patent document 2, the composition for soap bubbles which combined surfactant and nonionic polymer is proposed. However, with this composition, when a child uses a blower such as a straw, the amount of exhaled air to be blown is small, so that soap bubbles cannot be easily generated. Patent Document 3 proposes a soap bubble composition comprising a combination of an alkylbetaine amphoteric surfactant and cationized cellulose, glycerin and / or glycol, and Patent Document 4 discloses an alkyl ether type anionic surfactant and an alkyl surfactant. A soap bubble composition combining an ether type nonionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant and a water-soluble polymer has been proposed. However, these compositions are not satisfactory because they cannot easily generate soap bubbles using a ring-shaped device having a large diameter (for example, 15 cm or more). Furthermore, dripping occurred between the time when the blowing tool or ring-shaped instrument was immersed and the generation of soap bubbles, and the usability was not improved.
