Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a cleaning implement suitable for use in cleaning soiled surfaces in the presence of water. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaning tool that is suitable for use when washing the body during bathing, etc., and is easy to carry and has excellent portability.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when washing one's face or taking a bath, a bar of soap is rubbed directly onto the skin or attached to a towel, sponge, or net-like object.

However, this way of using bar soap is
The bar of soap must be placed in a soap box, drained, and carried along with the sponge, making it inconvenient to carry.

To solve this problem, there are cleaning tools that have bar soap stored inside a sponge or granular soap stored inside a woven fabric. Increasing the size of the sponge or fabric makes it inconvenient to carry, and reducing the size of the sponge or woven fabric to make it more portable makes it difficult to wash.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The purpose of the invention is to provide a cleaning tool that is highly portable, foams well when used, has a sponge of a size that is easy to clean, and is extremely easy to clean. It is something to do.

[Means for solving problems]

The cleaning tool of the present invention was devised to achieve the above object, and is characterized in that a super absorbent resin and soap are packed in a sponge-like sheet having water permeability.

The soap used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and soap that foams well when the sponge-like sheet is soaked with water, has excellent cleaning power, and is retained within the sponge-like sheet when carried. If so, it may be solid or liquid, and the shape may be any shape such as powder, sheet, or fiber. However, from the point of view of foaming,
Powdered solid soap is preferably used.
In addition, it is preferable to form a discontinuous layer so as not to form a film so that water can be easily absorbed inside. In the present invention, when using this powder-like solid soap, if the entire cleaning tool is sealed and packaged using a film, the super absorbent resin absorbs the moisture in the sponge sheet, and the soap absorbs moisture and foams. It also has the effect of preventing it from deteriorating and making it possible to store it for a long time.

The superabsorbent resin used in this invention absorbs water and swells when the cleaning tool is in use, causing the sponge-like sheet to swell without seeping outside, making the cleaning tool sized to be easy to clean. Although not particularly limited, it is preferably in powder form, has a water absorption rate that can absorb 70% by weight or more of the saturated water content within 1 minute, has a water absorption capacity of preferably 50 times or more, and can be used manually after swelling. It is preferable that the gel water-containing resin does not flow out from the pores of the sponge-like sheet when squeezed.

Such super absorbent resins include starch-based resins such as graft copolymers of starch and acrylates, cellulose-based resins such as cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, vinyl alcohol-acrylate copolymers, polyacrylonitrile hydrolysates, Synthetic polymers such as cross-linked polyacrylates and modified polyvinyl alcohols are available, and starch-based and acrylic-based synthetic polymers are preferably used. There are no particular restrictions on the shape of super absorbent resin,
Powdered or fibrous materials, or those attached to fibers are used.

The object of the present invention can be achieved if the soap and super absorbent resin are packed inside a sponge-like sheet, but there are various ways to pack the soap and super absorbent resin. That is, after packing the superabsorbent resin with water-permeable non-woven fabric such as synthetic fibers or paper, this may be packed together with soap in a sponge-like sheet, or the soap and super-absorbent resin may be packed with fibers such as non-woven fabric. The super absorbent resin may be applied to the inside and packed with a sponge-like sheet, or the super absorbent resin may be packed with a sponge-like sheet with soap discontinuously applied or adhered to the inside, or The superabsorbent resin may be packed with a sponge-like sheet made by drilling holes and embedding soap therein.

In addition, the sponge-like sheet used in the present invention should have sufficient water permeability to allow water to penetrate inside and swell the superabsorbent resin to a size that is easy to wash. There are no particular limitations, and for example, highly foamed polyurethane is preferably used. Although the thickness of the sheet is not particularly limited, it is preferably about 2 to 10 mm. By setting the thickness to this level, the thickness of the obtained cleaning tool can be reduced, making it convenient to carry. Furthermore, it is more advantageous to melt the inner surface of the sheet with hot wire to make the pores in the inner surface smaller, since there is no risk of the swollen super absorbent resin spilling out to the outside.

[Effect]

The cleaning tool of the present invention is extremely thin, lightweight, and highly portable because it is disposable and only contains the necessary amount of soap for one use and a small amount of super absorbent resin packed into a sponge-like sheet. When using the cleaning tool of this invention, by immersing the entire cleaning tool in water, the super absorbent resin absorbs enough water and swells to a hardness and size that makes it easy to hold in the palm of your hand. become. Further, at this time, when the sponge-like sheet comes into contact with the skin, it becomes firm and adheres closely to the skin.

Furthermore, the soap packed in a sponge-like sheet has an affinity for water, swells with super absorbent resin, and oozes out onto the surface of the sponge-like sheet, resulting in extremely good foaming when rubbed on the skin. It is a cleaning tool that has excellent cleaning power and is easy to use.

In addition, since the super absorbent resin absorbs the moisture inside the pack, it can be stored for a long time with a simple exterior material such as polypropylene film.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the cleaning tool of the present invention when carried. In this figure, 0.5g of 1 is sealed in a folded nonwoven fabric bag 2 made of powdered superabsorbent resin. This bag has water permeability and is designed to prevent the superabsorbent resin from spilling outside.
As a super water-absorbent resin, the starch graft copolymer product name WAS manufactured by Nippon Deka Chemical Co., Ltd. [water absorption rate is 30 seconds]
700g/g, water absorption capacity 1000] was used. A bag filled with super absorbent resin and 10 g of granular bar soap 3 are packed with a sponge-like sheet 4 made of soft polyurethane with a thickness of 2 mm and low-density open cells, and the periphery is sealed. And the size of the cleaning tool at this time is 80
The size is mm×110mm and the thickness is 6mm.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the cleaning tool of the present invention in use. When the cleaning tool shown in Figure 1 is immersed in water, the superabsorbent resin absorbs the water that has permeated the sponge-like sheet and swells to form a gel-like material 5.The cleaning tool has a size of 70 mm x 100 mm and a thickness of 20 mm. It's going to be. The granular bar soap gradually dissolves and when rubbed on the body, it lathers well and the entire cleaning tool has an appropriate hardness and size, making it extremely easy to clean.

[Effects of the invention] The cleaning tool of this invention uses a sponge-like sheet packed with super absorbent resin, so when used, the super absorbent resin absorbs water and swells to an appropriate hardness and size, making it extremely durable. In addition to being easy to wash, the superabsorbent resin acts as an anti-moisture agent for the soap packed in a sponge-like sheet, so when using solid powder granular soap, the soap foams well and It can be stored for a long time and has excellent practical value. Also, less soap is used,
Since it can be manufactured at low cost, it can be suitably used as a disposable cleaning tool.
