Description

  The present invention relates to a defoamer for a detergent used when foam is produced using a soap such as liquid soap or granular soap, or a detergent such as a facial cleanser.

  So far, the soap and other cleaning agents have been used to clean the body such as fingers and face. However, especially during face washing, rubbing the skin (skin) of the face with the fingers causes inflammation on the skin. This causes the skin texture to be disturbed or roughened by the inflammation, and these symptoms cause problems such as loss of water retention and drying, leading to darkening of pores. Therefore, in recent years, when the skin is cleaned using a cleaning agent, bubbles made from the cleaning agent are often used. In particular, the use of foam with a small particle size during face washing has the effect of increasing the surface area per unit volume of the foam and effectively removing dirt present on the skin surface.

  Thus, various methods or instruments for producing bubbles from such cleaning agents have been used or proposed so far. In this method, for example, a method using a net in which a predetermined mesh is formed from fibers or the like is used in addition to a method of creating bubbles while rubbing solid soap or liquid soap with both hands. In addition, a spherical object is enclosed in a container that can be divided into upper and lower parts, and a bubbler that creates bubbles in the container by placing soap and a small amount of hot water in the container and shaking it repeatedly (patented) (Refer to Document 1) and a net-like body arranged in a container that can be divided into left and right, and a foam that creates bubbles in the container by placing the soap and a small amount of hot water in the container and shaking it repeatedly. A vessel (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed.

Japanese Patent No. 3692361 Japanese Patent No. 4596536

  However, as described above, the method in which a user creates bubbles with both hands is often difficult for some people, and it is difficult to create bubbles with a small particle size. In addition, in the case of using the above net, it takes a little time to create bubbles with a small particle size, and since it continues to contain water after use, it may become a hotbed where bacteria such as spiders grow. In many cases, there is a risk of fouling bathrooms and washbasins. In addition, since the bubble squeezers according to Patent Documents 1 and 2 both generate foam inside the container, it is necessary to open the container each time the foam is taken out and washed. It ’s extremely inconvenient.

  Therefore, the present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of the conventional detergent foaming method and the foaming device described above, and can easily create bubbles with a small particle diameter. An object of the present invention is to provide a novel detergent foaming device that can avoid the risk of propagation of bacteria such as spiders and that is excellent in operability.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the first invention (the invention according to claim 1) is an accommodation in which an opening is formed in the upper part and the cleaning agent and hot water are accommodated therein. A container body in which a space is formed, and a lid body in which an insertion hole is formed at or near the center thereof while being restricted by being placed or locked in the middle part on the upper end side of the container body and moving downward. In addition, an elevating operation part is formed at the upper end, and an intermediate part is arranged at the lower end of the elevating operation bar inserted into the insertion hole formed in the lid, and the cleaning agent and the foam. And a lift plate formed with a number of through holes through which the through-hole passes, and a lower surface of the upper front lift plate is formed with a scraping portion for scraping the solid soap by sliding in contact with the soap. be Te is characterized in.

  In the defoamer for a cleaning agent according to the first aspect of the invention, an appropriate amount of cleaning agent (such as liquid soap) and a small amount of hot water are accommodated in the container body, and the lid is placed on the upper end side of the container body. When the elevating operation rod is moved up and down (up / down movement operation) while being placed or locked in the middle portion and holding the elevating operation portion formed at the upper end of the elevating operation rod, The lift plate moves up and down. Then, the lifting and lowering operation of the lifting plate not only mixes the cleaning agent and hot water contained in the container body, but also passes through a large number of through holes formed in the lifting plate. Move repeatedly up and down. By repeating the movement of the mixture of the cleaning agent and hot water, a large number of bubbles are created below the lid.

  In particular, in the detergent foamer according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lid is placed or locked on the upper end side of the container main body, the through hole formed in the lift plate The bubble created in the container body also passes repeatedly from above to below and from below to above. That is, the bubbles created by passing the cleaning agent mixed with hot water through the many through holes formed in the lifting plate by lowering the lifting operation rod, and then positioned above the lifting plate, When the elevating plate is raised, it is compressed between the lid and the elevating plate, passes again through the numerous through holes, and moves below the elevating plate. Therefore, by repeatedly raising and lowering the elevating plate in this way, not only the mixture of the cleaning agent and hot water, but also the bubbles once made repeatedly pass through a large number of through holes, so that bubbles with a finer particle size can be created. it can. And when bubbles are created by raising and lowering the lifting operation rod for a predetermined time, the lifting operation rod and the lid are removed from the container body by pulling the lifting operation rod upward, What is necessary is just to put in a hand in this container main body, scoop out an internal bubble, take out, and to use for face washing etc.

The container main body constituting the detergent foamer according to the first aspect of the present invention is at least shaped so that an opening is formed in the upper part and an accommodation space for accommodating the detergent and hot water is formed therein. For example, the outer shape in plan view may be a circular shape or an elliptical shape, or may be a square shape such as a square shape or a rectangular shape. Further, the lid body is only required to be placed or locked in the middle part on the upper end side of the container main body and restricted from moving downward and to have an insertion hole formed in the center or in the vicinity thereof. Any shape corresponding to the shape of the container body may be used. Moreover, the said raising / lowering board should just be a shape and a magnitude | size which can be raised / lowered in the said container main body. The lifting plate may be integrally formed with the lifting operation rod, or is formed as a separate body from the lifting operation rod, and is detachably attached to the lifting operation rod. (Refer to the invention described in claim 4 ).

  It should be noted that the numerous through holes formed in the elevating plate may be at least the one through which the cleaning agent and foam pass, and the inner diameter of the through hole is the viscosity of the cleaning agent used or the cleaning agent used. However, it may be set to about 0.5 to 5 mm, more preferably about 2 to 4 mm.

Further, the first inventions are on the lower surface of the elevating plate, and is characterized in that the stripped-up unit that takes stripped to said solid soap is formed by the solid soap and sliding contact.

In the present invention, since a scraping portion for scraping off the solid soap by being brought into sliding contact with the soap bar is formed on the lower surface of the elevating plate, the soap bar is easily put into the container body as a cleaning agent. Filling becomes possible. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to use either a solid soap or a liquid soap as a cleaning agent.

In the present invention, the scraping portion may be formed on the lower surface of the lifting plate, for example, a plurality of protrusions may be formed on the lower surface of the lifting plate, and surround the through hole. The structure (refer to invention of Claim 2 ) which the solid soap formed and cut off in this way penetrate | invades in this through-hole may be sufficient.

Further, according to a second invention (invention of claim 2 ), in the first invention, the shaving portion is formed so as to surround each through hole, and the solid soap thus shaved is contained in the through hole. It is comprised so that it may penetrate | invade.

In the second aspect of the invention, the scraping portion is formed so as to surround each through hole, and is configured so that the shaved solid soap enters the through hole. When the lifting / lowering operation is performed, the shaved solid soap does not always adhere to the lower surface of the lifting / lowering plate and stops, and can be repeatedly moved up and down through the through holes. Therefore, according to the second invention having such a structure, it is possible to produce bubbles with a fine particle diameter using not only liquid soap but also solid soap as a cleaning agent.

According to a third invention (invention according to claim 3 ), in the first or second invention, the container body includes a circular bottom plate portion and a cylindrical side plate that stands up from the bottom plate portion. A diameter-enlarged portion is formed on the upper edge side of the side plate portion, and the lid body is formed in a disk shape and is associated with the diameter-enlarged portion. It is characterized by having an outer diameter to be stopped.

In the defoamer for a cleaning agent according to the third aspect of the invention, the container body includes a circular bottom plate portion and a cylindrical side plate portion standing up from the bottom plate portion. On the upper edge side, there is formed an enlarged diameter portion that is enlarged toward the upper edge side, and the lid body is formed in a disc shape and has an outer diameter that is locked to the enlarged diameter portion. Therefore, there is no risk that the lid body will inadvertently fall out of the container body, and the lid body can be surely locked to the container body. In particular, when the container main body and the lid are formed of resin, by placing the container main body and the lid on the middle part on the upper end side of the container main body and pressing slightly downward, the inner peripheral surface of the container main body and the outer peripheral surface of the lid body The lid can be fixed to the container body due to the slight bending of the lid, so that when the lifting operation rod is lifted, the lid moves upward, and bubbles created below the lid are generated. Leakage to the outside can be prevented.

In the detergent froth according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the lifting operation bar and the lifting plate are detachable, so that the lifting operation bar and the lifting plate can be separately cleaned. It is possible to suppress contamination due to the generation of bacteria such as wrinkles in details, and it is possible to always maintain a hygienic state.

  According to the defoamer for detergents according to the first invention (invention of claim 1), by raising and lowering the elevating operation rod, bubbles can be easily produced, and bacteria such as sputum can be produced. The risk of breeding can also be avoided.

  In particular, in the detergent foamer according to the first aspect of the present invention, the lid is placed or locked on the middle part on the upper end side of the container body, and the lifting / lowering operation rod is lowered to lower the lifting / lowering operation rod. Bubbles created by passing a cleaning agent mixed with hot water through a large number of through holes formed in the plate and positioned above the lifting plate are then lifted to move the lid. Bubbles are compressed by the body and the lifting plate, and the bubbles again pass through the numerous through holes and move below the lifting plate. Therefore, not only the cleaning agent but also bubbles once created by the lifting operation of the lifting plate repeatedly pass through a large number of through holes, so that bubbles with a finer particle diameter can be created.

Moreover, in this 1st invention, since the scraping part which scrapes off this solid soap is formed in the lower surface of the said raising / lowering board by making sliding contact with solid soap, solid soap is used for the said container as a washing | cleaning agent. It can be easily filled into the body.

In the second invention (the invention described in claim 2 ), the shaving portion is formed so as to surround each through hole, and the shaved solid soap enters the through hole. Therefore, when the lifting plate is moved up and down, the shaved solid soap does not always adhere to the lower surface of the lifting plate and does not stop, but passes through each through hole, and above and below the lifting plate. It can be moved repeatedly. Therefore, according to the second invention having such a structure, it is possible to produce bubbles with a fine particle diameter using not only liquid soap but also solid soap as a cleaning agent.

Moreover, in the detergent foamer according to the third invention (the invention according to claim 3 ), the container main body includes a circular bottom plate portion and a cylindrical side plate portion standing up from the bottom plate portion. And an enlarged diameter portion that is enlarged toward the upper edge side is formed on the upper edge side of the side plate portion, and the lid body is formed in a disk shape and is locked to the enlarged diameter portion. Therefore, there is no risk that the lid body will inadvertently fall out of the container body, and the lid body can be surely locked to the container body. In particular, when the container main body and the lid are formed of resin, the inner peripheral surface of the container main body and the outer peripheral surface of the lid are pressed slightly downward after being locked to the middle part on the upper end side of the container main body. The lid can be fixed to the container body due to the slight bending of the lid, so that when the lifting operation rod is lifted, the lid moves upward, and bubbles created below the lid are generated. Leakage to the outside can be prevented.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a detergent foaming device according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the detergent foam blower 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 2, a lid body 3, a lifting operation rod 4, and a lifting plate 5 (FIG. 2). For example).

  The container body 2, the lid body 3, the lifting operation rod 4, and the lifting plate 5 are all integrally formed of a resin such as polypropylene, and the container body 2 has a disk shape as shown in FIG. 3. It is composed of a molded bottom plate portion 2a, a side plate portion 2b that rises upward from the peripheral end of the bottom plate portion 2a, and a diameter-increased portion 2c that is gradually expanded from the upper end side of the side plate portion 2b. The upper end of the enlarged diameter portion 2c is formed into a wave shape. That is, the container body 2 is formed with an opening (reference numeral is omitted) on the upper side, and an accommodation space (reference numeral is omitted) in which a cleaning agent such as liquid soap described later and hot water are accommodated. Has been. In addition, a level display portion (not shown) indicating the amount (height) of hot water filled in a position slightly above the bottom plate portion 2 a is provided in the lower middle portion of the inner peripheral surface of the container main body 2. It is displayed in the direction of rotation.

  2 and 4, the lid 3 is formed in a disk shape and has an outer shape slightly longer than the inner diameter dimension on the lower end side of the enlarged diameter portion 2c. A circular insertion hole 3 a is formed at the center of the lid 3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the elevating plate 5 is formed to have a slightly smaller diameter than the outer dimensions of the lid 3 and the bottom plate portion 2a, and as shown in FIG. A cylindrical portion 5a bulging upward is formed at the center of the cylindrical portion, and one screw portion (nut portion) 5b is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 5a. The elevating plate 5 has a plurality of through holes 5c through which a cleaning agent such as liquid soap passes, as will be described later. Then, on the lower surface of the lifting plate 5 in which the through holes 5c are formed, as shown in FIG. 6, a ring-shaped scraping portion 5d surrounding the through hole 5c hangs down below the lifting plate 5. Yes. These scraping parts 5d fulfill the function of scraping off the solid soap by bringing the surface of the solid soap (not shown) and the lower surface of the lifting plate 5 into sliding contact with each other. Adheres in and around each of the through holes 5c.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, an elevating operation part 4b formed in a ring shape and provided with a circular opening 4a at the center is formed at the upper end of the elevating operation rod 4. A large-diameter portion 4c is formed below the elevating operation portion 4b. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the other screw portion (bolt portion) 4d screwed to one screw portion 5b formed at the center of the lifting plate 5 is formed at the lower end of the lifting operation rod 4. Has been. In addition, the diameter of the insertion hole 3a formed in the center of the lid 3 is shorter than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 4c.

  The middle part of the lifting operation rod 4 is inserted into an insertion hole 3a formed in the lid 3, and the lower end of the lifting operation rod 4 has the one screw portion 5b and the other screw portion 4d. Are fixed to each other by screwing.

  Next, the method of making foam by using the detergent foaming device 1 configured as described above will be sequentially described.

  First, the container body 2 is filled with hot water with reference to the level display portion (not shown), and then an appropriate amount of cleaning agent (reference numeral is omitted). As this cleaning agent, liquid soap is good, and the total filling amount of this cleaning agent and hot water is about half of the capacity of the container body 2. Then, when the storage operation of the cleaning agent or the like is completed in this way, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 3 is a container in a state where the lifting operation rod 4, the lid 3 and the lifting plate 5 are integrated. The main body 2 is set so as to be locked to the enlarged diameter portion 2c. In addition, when using solid soap instead of the liquid soap as a cleaning agent, as described above, the lower surface of the lifting plate 5 and the solid soap are brought into sliding contact, and the solid soap is scraped off. The container main body 2 is filled with an appropriate amount of hot and cold water by adhering to the inside of each through hole 5c and the periphery thereof.

  When the above set is completed, the lifting / lowering operation portion 4b formed on the upper end of the lifting / lowering operation rod 4 is then gripped with a good hand (for example) and the container body 2 is held with the other hand. The lifting operation rod 4 is lifted and lowered. By the lifting / lowering operation of the lifting / lowering operation rod 4, the lifting / lowering plate 5 positioned in the container body 2 is lifted / lowered in the container body 2, and by repeating such lifting / lowering operation, the container body 2 has a fine particle diameter. Bubbles are made.

  If the process and process in which such a bubble is made are explained in full detail, as shown in FIG. 7, by raising the raising / lowering operation rod 4 with the raising / lowering plate 5 located at the lowest position, the mixture D of the cleaning agent and hot water becomes Then, it passes through the gaps between the numerous through holes 5c and the outer peripheral surface of the elevating plate 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the side plate portion 2b of the container body 2, and moves below the elevating plate 5. Next, when the elevating plate 5 is lowered, the mixture again passes through the numerous through holes 5c and the like and moves above the elevating plate 5, and bubbles F are gradually formed in the container body 2. . When the soap is used by using the shaving portion 5d, the soap that has entered the through holes 5c is moved up and down by the pressure of the hot water by the lowering operation of the lifting operation rod 4. It moves to the upper side of the plate 5 and moves downward by the ascending operation, so that bubbles F having a fine particle diameter are created as in the case of using liquid soap.

  And the bubble F produced in such a process is pinched | interposed between this raising / lowering board 5 and the said cover body 3 from the state located in the upper part of the mixture D by raising the raising / lowering board 5 located below. By being compressed, it moves below the lifting plate 5 through the through hole 5c and the like, and then, when the lifting plate 5 is lowered, the bubbles F located below the lifting plate 5 are again moved. It moves above the lifting plate 5. That is, by using the detergent foaming device 1 according to this embodiment, the foam F produced in the container body 2 is compressed between the lifting plate 5 and the lid 3. Therefore, the bubbles F having a finer particle diameter can be made by repeatedly passing through the through hole 5c.

  When a predetermined bubble F is created in the container body 2 by such an operation, the lifting operation rod 4 is then lifted upward, and the lid 3 and the lifting plate 5 Take out. At this time, the elevating plate 5 gradually approaches the lid body 3 by the lifting operation of the elevating operation rod 4, so that the bubbles F located above the elevating plate 5 are moved into the plurality of through holes. It passes through 5c and moves below the elevating plate 5. When the elevating operation rod 4 is further pulled upward, the elevating plate 5 comes into contact with the lid 3, and the elevating plate 5 and the lid 3 are taken out from the container body 2 integrally. As a result, in the container main body 2, because of the specific gravity, many bubbles F are located above, and the mixture D of the cleaning agent and hot water that is not the bubbles F is located below. By inserting a hand into the container body 2 and scooping up an appropriate amount of foam F, it can be used for face washing and the like. In particular, according to the detergent defogger 1 according to this embodiment, since the particle diameter of each foam is extremely fine, as will be apparent from the description of examples described later, a predetermined amount of foam is once generated. Even if it is taken out from the container main body 2 and partially left in the container main body 2, it is suppressed that the remaining foam F bounces and returns to the liquid again during the face washing. It is possible to use the foam F once created over a plurality of times.

  FIG. 8 shows a case where foaming is carried out for 20 seconds by a conventionally used net (comparative example) and a case where foaming is carried out for 20 seconds by the detergent foamer 1 according to the above embodiment (implementation). Example) is shown together with a photograph and evaluated according to evaluation criteria of “amount of foam”, “roughness of foam”, and “elasticity of foam”, respectively. In addition, the quantity of the cleaning agent used by the comparative example and the Example and the quantity of hot water are the same quantity. Moreover, the internal diameter of the through-hole 5c formed in the raising / lowering board 5 was 3 mm, and the number was 72 pieces.

  As a result, when the above net was used, the “amount of foam” was small, and when compared with this, there was a large amount when the detergent foaming device 1 was used. In addition, the “roughness of the foam” was rough when the above-described net was used, and finer when the detergent foaming device 1 was used. In addition, regarding the “elasticity of the foam”, the elasticity was weak when the above-mentioned net was used, and high elasticity was confirmed when the detergent foaming device 1 was used. .

  Further, FIG. 9 shows image measurement in the case of foaming with a conventionally used net (comparative example) and in the case of foaming with the detergent foamer 1 according to the above embodiment (example), respectively. The magnified photograph image | photographed using the container and the particle | grains of the measured bubble are shown.

  As is clear from FIG. 9, when the foam was used for 10 seconds, it was 526 μm when the net was used, but when the detergent foaming device 1 according to this embodiment was used Was 50 μm. Further, in the case of foaming for 20 seconds, it was 269 μm when using a net, and it was confirmed that the particle diameter was reduced with the passage of time, but this was the detergent foam according to this embodiment. It was confirmed that the finer particle diameter was 39 μm when the tester 1 was used. In addition, it was able to be confirmed that the finer 31 μm was obtained when the detergent foaming apparatus 1 according to this embodiment was used for foaming for 60 seconds.

  As is clear from the comparison results between the above examples and comparative examples, according to the detergent defogger 1 according to this embodiment, it is very elastic, and bubbles with a small particle diameter can be easily obtained. When this foam is used during face washing, dirt existing on the surface of the skin can be effectively removed without damaging the skin.

  In addition, in the detergent foaming device 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the case in which the lid body 3 is placed in the middle part on the upper end side of the container body 2 is illustrated and described. The container body 2 is locked to the middle part on the upper end side and is not restricted from moving downward from the locked position, but is also prevented from inadvertently moving upward (dropping from the container body 2). It may be what was done. This detergent foamer 1 is, for example, a ring-shaped mounting (not shown) having a width projecting in the center direction of the container main body 2 in the middle of the upper end side on the inner peripheral surface of the container main body 2. A convex portion is formed at a distance slightly longer than the thickness of the lid body 3 and the outer diameter of the lid body is longer than the inner diameter of the flange portion. It is molded into. A plurality of the convex portions are formed in the circumferential direction of the container body. Then, by pressing the lid 3 downward from above the plurality of convex portions, the lid 3 and the container body 2 are slightly bent, and the lid 3 gets over the convex portions and is placed. It is comprised so that it may fit between parts. Even if it is a case with the detergent foamer which concerns on such a structure, while having the effect similar to the detergent foamer 1 demonstrated in the said embodiment, the cover body 3 is carelessly containerized. It is possible to prevent the main body 3 from falling off.
