Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Field of industrial application The present invention relates to a washing tool for washing the body in a bath or the like, and specifically relates to an improvement of a washing tool made of a porous material such as a sponge.

(b) Prior art In general, washing utensils are made of a sponge-like porous material or a sponge covered with a net-like cloth.
I apply soap to the washing utensil and wash my body.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solve For this reason, washing one's body in a bath requires two steps: first applying soap to the washing utensils, and then washing with the washing utensils coated with the soap. It's very troublesome. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to apply the right amount of soap to the washing utensils according to the body's body. is wasted.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention is aimed at solving the above problems, and it involves putting soap inside a porous material such as a sponge, and adding water to the porous material. It is characterized by a structure in which the soap dissolves and oozes out onto the surface of the porous material.

(e) Effect Based on the above-mentioned structure, when the soap-containing washing tool is wetted with hot water, the soap inside is dissolved, and due to the capillary action of the porous material and the crushing of the porous material, the soap oozes out onto the porous surface, which causes the soap to ooze out into the body. wash.

(F) Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the soap-containing washing tool 1 includes a soap 2, a sponge 3, and a bag member 5 made of nonwoven fabric or the like. The sponge 3 has a hollow part 3a in the center thereof in which the soap 2 can be stored, and the inside is made of a coarse sponge 3b and the outside is made of a fine sponge 3c. Furthermore,
The coarse sponge 3b has a large number of relatively large elliptical holes 3d lined up along the hollow part 3a, and these holes 3d become flat (boomerang-shaped) when soap is poured into the hollow part 3a. deformed (see Figure 2).

In the soap-containing washing tool 1, the soap 2 is put into the hollow part 3a of the sponge 3, the sponge 3 containing the soap 2 is stored in the bag member 5, and the entrance 5a is tied or sewn with a string 6. It is closed and completed by. At this time, the cut-shaped hollow part 3a of the sponge 3 is elastically deformed to increase its volume due to the deformation of the large number of holes 3d and the deformation of the sponge itself, especially the coarse sponge 3b. Can store soap 2.

When the soap-containing washing utensil 1 is wetted with hot water in a bath or the like, the hot water penetrates through the sponge 3 and dissolves the soap 2, and the dissolved soap water causes capillary action in the sponge 3 and crushes the sponge 3. Due to the pumping action caused by this, water oozes from the surface of the sponge 3 and from the bag member 5, thereby allowing the body to be washed. Moreover, although the soap 2 becomes smaller with use, the sponge 3 elastically restores itself and the hollow part 3a becomes smaller in accordance with the size of the soap 2, so that the soap 2 is always in close contact with the sponge 3.

Further, when the soap-containing washing tool 1 is not in use, the sponge 3 is crushed to remove moisture. Then, based on the fact that the side sponge 3c has finer mesh than the inner sponge 3b, the water remaining inside the sponge is attracted to the outer fine sponge 3c by capillary action, and the dissolved soap water around the soap is absorbed by the finer outer sponge 3c. The soap 2 is attracted to the surrounding numerous holes 3d, and moisture is cut off from the soap 2, preventing it from dissolving any further.

Next, a partially modified embodiment will be described based on FIG. 3.

The soap-containing washing utensil 1' according to this embodiment has no hollow part and is composed of a sponge 3' having coarse mesh 3'b inside and gradually finer mesh 3'c toward the outside. Furthermore, a large number of flat elliptical holes 3'd are formed between the coarse sponge 3'b and the fine sponge 3'c.

Then, an injection tube 7 is inserted into the inside of the sponge 3', and the heated and liquefied soap solution 2' is injected from the injection tube 7, and the soap solution 2' is diffused into the rough sponge 3'b. At the same time, it cools and hardens. At this time, the volume expansion due to the injection of the soap solution 2' is absorbed by the hole 3'd being deformed into a flat shape.

This soap-containing washing tool 1' also has the same features as the previous embodiment.
When soaked in hot water, the soap 2' melts and oozes out for use, and when not in use, moisture is cut off from the soap 2' and the soap 2' is prevented from dissolving. In addition, in the previous embodiment, when the soap runs out, the bag member 5 is opened and new soap 2 is put into the sponge hollow part 3a, and the soap 2 can be renewed and used at home many times, but in this embodiment The washing utensil 1' according to the example is usually used as a disposable item since it is difficult to inject soap solution at home once the soap 2' is used up.

Although sponge was used in the above embodiments, other porous materials such as nonwoven fibers and sponge may of course be used.

(g) Effects of the invention As explained above, according to the invention, the soaps 2 and 2' are placed inside the porous materials 3 and 3', and the soap melts because the porous materials contain water. Since the soap is constructed so that it oozes out onto the surface of the porous material, the body can be washed by simply adding hot water to the soap-containing washing utensils 1, 1', eliminating the need to smear soap onto the washing utensils and making it easier to wash the body. Work becomes extremely easy. In addition, the soap-containing washing utensils do not waste soap by applying too much soap, and the soap can be used until the end. Furthermore, when not in use, if the water is removed by squeezing the porous material, the soap will not dissolve. You can save a lot of soap.
