Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a bath salt pack. More specifically, the present invention relates to a chopped herbal medicine type bath salt pack.

(Prior Art) In recent years, chopped herbal medicines with high medicinal effects have been used as bath additives. Usually, unlike other bath additives, these chopped herbal medicine type bath additives do not dissolve directly in hot water, so if you put them in the bathtub as is, the residue will stain the hot water. The user fills a gauze bag with an appropriate amount. When the products are packed in bags in advance during the distribution process, they are placed in felt bags whose front and back surfaces are made of nonwoven fabric 101, as shown in FIG.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, when filling bags made of felt in advance, it is not possible to see the herbal medicine inside because it is opaque, causing considerable anxiety and curiosity as one does not know what is inside. Some people feel dissatisfied with this and want to take a look inside. In addition, chopped crude drug type bath salts float on the water surface and are difficult to mix with water or hot water, so they have the disadvantage of having to be rubbed to penetrate or to ooze out over time. Furthermore, in the case of bags made of felt, the characteristic odor of herbal medicines lingers in the bathroom when heated by hot water, which can be unpleasant for some people. Although herbal medicines have been reconsidered in recent years, one of the reasons why their use has not spread is that the characteristic odor of herbal medicines is an unpleasant and pungent odor that most people can even call bad. In order to remove this unique odor, efforts have been made to remove particularly strong odor components or add fragrances, but felt bags with good air circulation do not completely eliminate the strong odor that emanates with steam. It cannot be suppressed. In addition, even if fragrances are encapsulated together with herbal medicines, the inventors of this invention have found that the herbal medicines contain porous components that tend to absorb the aromatic components of the fragrances, so there is a problem that the fragrance does not radiate outside. It was discovered by

In addition, when a user fills a gauze bag with bath additives before use, it is necessary to weigh the bath additives each time they are used, which is cumbersome and reduces the product value, and also causes the ingredients to be mixed. This is undesirable in terms of obtaining the effect as a bath additive.

Therefore, the present invention provides a chopped herbal medicine type bath salt pack in which the contents can be confirmed, the irritating odor peculiar to the herbal medicine does not easily leak directly into the bathroom during use, and the fragrance release effect of the added fragrance is not suppressed. With the goal.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, the bath salt pack of the present invention has one side made of a transparent sheet-like material and the other side made of a liquid-permeable sheet-like material, and the peripheral edges thereof are glued. to form a housing space, and the housing space is further divided into at least two
In a separate bag, chopped herbal medicine type bath salts are sealed in one housing space, and perfume grains are sealed in the other housing space.

(Effect) Therefore, the herbal medicine contents can be confirmed from one side, and the hot water penetrates and the herbal medicine ingredients are diffused through the other side, and if used with the liquid-permeable sheet side facing down, the odor of the herbal medicine will be eliminated. It is not released directly into the bathroom, but is released in a softened state through hot water. In addition, the scent emitted from the perfume grains sealed separately from the herbal medicine is not adsorbed by the herbal medicine and is diffused into the bathroom, giving the bather a sense of comfort.

(Example) The configuration of the present invention will be described in detail below based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of the bath salt pack of the present invention. In this bath salt pack, a chopped herbal medicine type bath salt 4 and perfume grains 7 are separately housed in a bag 1. The bag 1 has a transparent sheet-like material 2 on one side and a liquid-permeable sheet-like material 3 on the other side, and their peripheral edges are adhered to form at least two storage spaces 5 and 6. As the transparent sheet-like material 2, any material can be used as long as it is insoluble in water and hot water and is substantially impermeable, but it is usually made of a sheet-like material that is liquid-permeable on the other side. In consideration of adhesion to the sheet material 3, especially heat sealability, a film having a two-layer structure of polypropylene and polyethylene is used. In addition, the transparent sheet material 2 includes a double-layer film of Saran-coated polyester and polyethylene, a double-layer film of nylon and polyethylene, a double-layer film of Saran-coated nylon and polyethylene, a double-layer film of polyester and polyethylene, and a double-layer film of cellophane and polyethylene. Two-layer films of moisture-proof cellophane and polyethylene, single-layer films of polyethylene, vinyl chloride, polyester, polycarbonate, nylon, polypropylene, etc. can be used. In this specification, "substantially impermeable" means a state in which at least the odor of the herbal medicine does not leak outside.

The liquid-permeable sheet material 3 may be made of any material or structure as long as it is insoluble in water and hot water and permeable to liquids, but does not allow the herbal medicine 4 to flow out. Usually, synthetic fibers or non-woven fabrics such as cotton, plastic films with many fine holes, cloth, etc. can be used. As the nonwoven fabric, it is preferable to use short plastic fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc., which have good adhesion to the transparent sheet material 2, and composite materials thereof. Most preferably, a material that can be heat-sealed with the transparent sheet 2, such as a polyester nonwoven fabric, is used.

In this specification, the term "sheet-like material" refers to materials including thin cloth, plastic sheets, plastic films, nonwoven fabrics, and the like.

The fluid-permeable sheet material 3 and the transparent sheet material 2 can be bonded together using an adhesive or mechanical bonding such as heat sealing or stitching, but preferably heat sealing or adhesive, most preferably heat This is done using a sticker.

The storage space 6 for enclosing the fragrance particles 7 is usually formed when the bag 1 is formed by heat-sealing the liquid permeable sheet material 3 and the transparent sheet material 2.
A space 5 for accommodating the bath additive 4 is simultaneously formed by heat-sealing a part of the bath, for example, a corner portion.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the accommodation spaces 5 and 6 are preferably shaped to be suitable for filling the contents, that is, the shredded herbal medicine 4 and flavor particles 7, at the same time as heat sealing. . That is, the accommodation spaces 5 and 6 having the same width are continuously formed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, it is also possible to form a housing space 6 in the same bag material by heat sealing in a part of the corner of the housing space 5 or as an addition to the housing space 5. be. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4C, the storage space 6 for enclosing the fragrance may be formed separately from another bag material and fastened to the herbal medicine bag using a fastener 8 such as a stapler.

In addition, when the storage space 6 is formed of another bag material as shown in FIG. 4C, it is also possible to use a felt material with good air permeability on both the front and back sides.

As chopped herbal medicine type bath additive ingredients, those whose main ingredients are, for example, chinpi, spruce, kobo, senkiyu, canker, chamomile, etc. are generally used. On the other hand, as the perfume grains 7, scent balls made by impregnating a carrier with a fragrance or scent balls made by hardening the fragrance itself are added. Generally, the carrier for the fragrance needs to be something that cannot be dissolved in hot water, or something that does not harm the human body even if it dissolves, and porous inorganic substances, salts, sugars, etc. are usually used.

The bath salt pack constructed as described above is used in the following manner.

As shown in FIG. 3, this bath salt pack is preferably poured into the bath with the transparent sheet 2 facing upward when the bath is heated or before taking a bath. The bath additive bag 1 floats due to the air remaining inside and retains the bath additive near the bath surface where the temperature is highest, thereby effectively exuding the herbal medicine components. At the same time, a transparent sheet-like material 2 that expands due to the air remaining in this bag
It acts as a kind of lid, allowing the medicinal herbs to be steamed and blended well with the hot water, promoting the leaching of the ingredients. The hot water convecting in the bathtub passes through the lower surface of the nonwoven fabric 3 and comes into contact with the bath additive 4 in the bag 1, thereby gradually exuding the herbal medicine components. In addition, the unique odor emitted from herbal medicines is not emitted directly into the bathroom due to the transparent sheet-like material/transparent film 2, but once permeates into the bath through the nonwoven fabric 3 on the bottom surface, it is softened. A faint scent emanates into the bathroom.

In addition, some of the fragrance granules separated from herbal medicines are heated by hot water and evaporate into the bathroom, while some of the fragrance leaches into the bath and diffuses.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the bath salt pack of the present invention contains herbal medicine type bath salts and fragrances in a bag that has a transparent sheet-like material on one side and a liquid-permeable material on the other side. By enclosing the contents, the contents can be observed, which will arouse the user's interest or satisfy the user's interest in knowing the contents.By visualizing the contents, bathers can be encouraged to use natural herbal medicines. It gives a sense of security, and the psychological effect of the effects of natural herbal medicines permeating the body relieves tension and enhances the effects of bathing.

Also, if you put it in with the transparent sheet facing up,
When placed in a bathtub, the bath salt always floats on the water surface and is placed near the water surface, where it reaches the highest temperature, to effectively exude the medicinal ingredients, and the film of the sheet material provides a steaming effect. It improves the compatibility with hot water and promotes the exudation of herbal medicine ingredients. In addition, since the herbal medicine components are leached into the hot water through the liquid-permeable sheet material on the bottom surface, the diffusion of the herbal medicine components is effective, and the pungent odor peculiar to the herbal medicines is softened by passing through the hot water, creating a faint scent in the bathroom. It can be released within.

Furthermore, the scent of fragrances is not absorbed by herbal medicines,
Since it diffuses into the bathroom, the odor peculiar to herbal medicines is also negated.
