[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, conventionally, in what state should this water quality conversion material be placed in water, in other words, at what density should the water quality conversion material be filled (stored) in the container in which the water quality conversion material should be filled (stored)? No consideration was given from the perspective of whether it should be filled or in what state the container itself should be placed in water, and what the rational shape of the container should be.

The present invention has been made based on such a background, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a container filled with a water quality conversion material, which allows the water quality conversion material to act most effectively on water. To aim.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve this object, in the present invention, the inside of the container is filled with the water quality conversion material at such a density that it can freely move by itself, and the inside and outside of the container are communicated so as to come into contact with water. An appropriate number of small holes are provided, and the container has a floating means so as to float on the water surface or in the water while containing the water quality conversion material.

Further, it is desirable that the outer shape of the container is spherical or spindle-shaped in order to enhance the efficiency of stirring and contact with water of the internal water quality conversion material. Further, when used by being put into a water container having a water injection port such as a tank, a water bottle, or a pot, it is preferable that the container has a spindle shape in terms of ease of pushing and prevention of outflow.

[0008]

[Action]

 Since the container is in a floating state with respect to water, it freely moves, and in combination with the free movement of the water quality conversion material inside, the water quality conversion material contacts the water through a wide range of small holes and acts on the water. ..

When the container has a spherical shape or a spindle shape, the container easily rotates, and the contact ratio of the water quality conversion material and water increases. In addition, the spindle shape makes it possible to easily push the container into the water inlet of the water container and prevent the water from flowing out.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the container according to the present embodiment in a state in which the container is suspended by a thread.

In the figure, 1 is a tank, 2 is water stretched in the tank 1, 3 is slightly upwardly projected from the upper edge of the tank 1, and further, a water faucet horizontally extended inward. The supporting arm 4, a thread hanging from the tip of the support arm 3, 5 a container filled with a water quality conversion material (not shown) inside, and 6 a small number provided to communicate the inside and outside of the container 5. The hole 7 is a locking portion for locking the lower end of the thread 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container 5 is suspended by a thread and floats inside the water 2. The water quality conversion material, which has a diameter of about 1 to 3 mm and a specific gravity of about 2.7, is packed in the container 5 with such a density that it can freely move within itself, depending on the volume of the inner space of the container 5. There is. The small holes 6 are formed on the entire outer surface of the container 5 so that the water quality conversion material inside can sufficiently contact the water 2 in the tank 1.

In this state, the water supplied from the water faucet touches the container 5, or due to waves generated during water supply, the container 5 moves within the range stretched by the thread 4, or As it rotates, the internal water quality conversion material comes into contact with the water 2 over a wide area and exerts an effect on it.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the container 5. In this embodiment, the inside of the container 5 is partitioned by a disk-shaped partition plate 8, the lower part is defined as a water quality conversion material filling chamber 9, and a large number of small holes 6 are formed in the outer peripheral part thereof. Further, the airtight air chamber 10 is provided at the upper part, and the air chamber 10 constitutes the floating means of the container 5 like the thread 4 and the locking portion 7 shown in FIG. That is, if the container 5 shown in FIG. 2 is put in water, the container 5 will float on the water surface or in the water due to the air chamber 10.

FIG. 3 shows a modified example of the container 5 of FIG. 2. In this embodiment, an air ball 10A is formed as a floating means, and the air ball 10A is housed in the water quality conversion material filling chamber 9. is there. Also in the case of this embodiment, the container 5 floats on the water surface or in the water by the action of the air ball 10A, as in the embodiment shown in FIG.

2 and 3, it is assumed that the container 5 is made of a transparent plastic material, so that the partition plate 8 in FIG. 2 and the air ball 10A in FIG. , Can be seen through from the outside.

Although the shape of the container 5 is not particularly limited, if the container 5 is formed into a spherical shape, it easily rotates, so that the stirring contact rate of water with the internal water quality conversion material increases, and when the container 5 is put into the tank 1, Since there is no horn, humans will not be injured by touching this container 5. In addition, the container returns to the point where the water supply falls from the tap, improving the efficiency of contact with water. When the container is connected to the faucet with a thread, it is preferable that the water quality conversion material and the water always come into contact during water supply.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the container is made of plastic and has the independent air chamber 10 as the floating means. However, for example, the container 5 is made of foamed styrene, and the container itself is made of plastic. It may be configured with one having innumerable air chambers.

Further, in the present embodiment, tourmaline, coral particles, metal ion-containing ceramics, etc. can be used as the water quality conversion material filled in the container 5.

Although the case where the container 5 is used in the tank 1 has been described, the water quality conversion material exerts its effect even when it is put in drinking water, so it is of course possible to put it in a bathtub, a pot, or a water bottle. Is.

When a water container having a water inlet such as the tank, pot, or water bottle filled with the water quality conversion material according to the present invention is used, the container is, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, If the container 5E having a spindle shape and having some elasticity is used, it can be pushed into the water container from one end of the container through the water inlet of the water container, and can be easily put into the water container. Can be prevented from flowing out.

Furthermore, in order to smooth the water injection from the water container's spout and to prevent the outflow of the container, as shown in FIG. 4, the amount of protrusion from the container to the outside of the spindle-shaped container 5E by an external force. When the water is contained in a water container with an outflow prevention member 11 that can reduce the amount of water, an external force is applied to the outflow prevention member to reduce the amount of protrusion from the container. It is hoped that the water will be restored to prevent the outflow from the spout.

The outflow prevention member 11 may be a perfect ring shape as shown in FIG. 4 or an incomplete ring shape having an arc shape, and a pin shape as shown in FIG.

Further, the levitation means 10A can be attached to the outflow prevention member 11 as shown in FIG. When the container 5E is mounted in this manner, there is an advantage that the container 5E is small and the amount of the water quality conversion material is large.
