Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention applies to filters used to prevent small items such as contact lenses from being washed away when washing them in the washroom, and can be used at any time, especially when out and about. This invention relates to a filter that is portable.

[Conventional technology]

Contact lenses are washed with detergent and rinsed with water or saline to remove contamination from bacteria and foreign substances, but these cleaning methods
Regardless of whether tap water is used or not, it is often done in the washbasin of the washroom due to the use of water.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

As mentioned above, when contact lenses are washed in a washbasin, there is a risk that they may be accidentally washed away from the drain of the washbasin. At home, one way to prevent such spillage is to place a basket inside the washbasin and wash the laundry inside, but this is difficult to do when out and about.

[Means for solving the problem] The portable filter according to this invention is made of a sheet-like material that is foldable and has flexibility, water resistance, and water permeability, and a plurality of rubber bands are attached to the opening edge of the bag. They are installed at intervals.

The above-mentioned materials include plastic films such as vinyl chloride and polyethylene, non-woven fabrics, and flexible and water-resistant sheet materials such as parchment paper, in which many small holes with a diameter of 1 to 5 mm are punched. A material that is water permeable is suitable. In addition, a sponge sheet with a thickness of about 1 mm or a polyethylene monofilament welded in a net shape can also be used.

[Effect]

When using, hook appropriate rubber bands around the faucet and drain valve operating knobs attached to the washbasin, and secure the appropriate remaining rubber bands to the washbasin with adhesive tape to close the bag opening. Place it in a washbasin and clean contact lenses, etc. in it. The water used at that time passes through the bag wall and is discharged from the drain of the basin, so even if a contact lens or the like is accidentally dropped, it will be caught by the bag and will not be washed away.

Drain the used bag, store it in a waterproof container, and reuse it, or take it home and use it as a kitchen waste bag. Of course, you can also throw it in the waste bin without reusing it.

The most desirable packaging is a folded filter with a small amount of adhesive tape attached to it and stored in a vinyl chloride or polyethylene bag.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows a filter 10 implementing this invention. A bag 1 made of vinyl chloride has countless small holes 2, 2... with a diameter of about 3 mm, especially at the bottom 3.
There are small holes 2a, 2a... in the bottom, and small holes 2b, 2b in both corners of the bottom. Opening edge 4 of bag 1
Holes 5, 5... with a diameter of about 5 mm are bored at equal intervals along the line, and rubber bands 6, 6 are inserted into the holes 5, 5..., respectively.
...is inserted and fixed.

The filter 10 is folded into a small size as shown in FIG.
1 and 11, and is housed in a packaging bag 12 made of vinyl chloride. 13 is an opening/closing fastener provided at the opening edge of the packaging bag 12.

When using the washbasin 1 as shown in Figure 3,
4, widen the opening edge 4, hang appropriate ones 6a, 6a of the rubber bands 6, 6... on the water faucets 15, 15, and connect appropriate ones 6b, 6 of the remaining rubber bands.
b is fixed to the washbasin 14 using adhesive tapes 11, 11. The drain valve opening/closing knob 16 of the washbasin 14 is also
It can be used to hang the rubber band 6.

Contact lenses are washed above the expanded and supported bag 1, with water flowing into the bag 1 from a faucet 15 as needed. Therefore, even if a contact lens is accidentally dropped, it will not be caught by the bag 1 and washed away because the diameters of the small holes 2, 2, . . . are smaller than that.

After cleaning, when the rubber band 6c near one corner of the opening edge 4 of the bag 1 is lifted upward, the water accumulated on the bottom side 3 of the bag will be discharged from the small hole 2b at one corner of the bottom side opposite to the rubber band 6c. . So, put bag 1 in wash basin 14.
It is folded and stored in the packaging bag 12.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, with this invention, a water-permeable bag that can be folded into a small size can be expanded at any time and fixed in the wash basin, and small items that are at risk of being washed away can be safely washed inside. Therefore, it can be easily used both at home and on the go to prevent valuable contact lenses from being washed away.
