Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a water replacement container used when water stored in a bathtub, a washing machine or the like is reused after removing floating dust in the water.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, when reusing hot and cold water in a bathtub, etc., dust and particles floating near the water surface can be scooped using a fine mesh handle. However, in this method, the floating debris is warped due to the generation of waves due to the movement of the mesh handle, and it is drawn toward the tank wall and does not easily enter the mesh handle. It was inefficient, for example, it leaked again.

It is uneconomical to throw away all the water.

(Means for Solving Problems) On the other hand, according to the present invention, the vicinity of the surface of water in a required water tank such as a bath is forcibly stirred once to disperse floating dust toward the tank wall. , Sink a specific container whose bottom is open to the water surface that hits the central part with less dust, position it at the bottom of the tank, close the bottom, remove the drain plug of the water tank and drain the water in the tank, Then, after closing the drain plug, open the bottom of the container, transfer the water in it to the water tank, and pull up the container to efficiently change the water in the water tank to water with less floating dust. It was made possible.

(Embodiment of the Invention) An embodiment of a water replacement container of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes the water replacement container of the present invention, and a peripheral surface of the container. Two semicircular bottom plates 2 and 2 are attached to the lower edge via a shaft 3 so as to be open only upward, and a handle 4 is attached to one of the bottom plates 2.

In using this water replacement container 1, first, near the water surface of the water in the bathtub a, sufficiently stir it with a hand, an appropriate device, or a stirrer to disperse floating debris in the water near the peripheral wall of the bathtub. Immediately, the water replacement container 1 is immersed in water and positioned in the center of the inside of the bath a. In this case, since the bottom plates 2 and 2 are pushed up by water pressure during settling, the inside of the container and the inside of the bathtub a communicate with each other to be in the state shown in the figure, and the bottom plates 2 and 2 are closed by their own weight.

Then, the drain plug b of the bath tub a is pulled out and drained. The water in the container 1 remains as it is because the bottom plates 2 and 2 are closed.

Then, after closing the drain plug b, the bottom plate 2 is inserted through the handle 4.
Is opened, the water in the container 1 is transferred to the bath a, and then the container 1 is pulled up.

In this way, the water containing floating dust is discharged from the bathtub a, and is replaced with only the water in the central portion with less floating dust.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 shows a container used for a drainage plug b of a bathtub a which is provided not at the center of the bottom face of the bathtub but at a part or corner of the peripheral edge. In this case, as shown in the same figure, the container 1 is formed by attaching a ring edge 6 at the lower end edge of the cylindrical portion 5 for watertightly blocking water containing dust and the like from the inside of the container.

In order to use the one shown in FIG. 2, the water in the bath a is sufficiently stirred, and then the cylindrical container 1 is positioned in the center of the inside of the bath a to obtain the state shown in the figure. Next, when the drain plug b of the bathtub a is pulled out and drained, the lower end of the container 1 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the bathtub via the ring edge 6 made of rubber or the like, so that the water in the container 1 is left as it is. Subsequently, the drain plug b of the bath tub a is closed, and the container 1 is pulled up to replace the water in the bath tub a with water with less floating dust.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is mainly related to water in a water tank such as a bathtub,
The water that hits the center of the container is stored in the container 1, and the water containing dust in the peripheral portion is discharged to leave only the water in the container.
Since the structure is extremely simple, it is suitable for use in a domestic bathtub or the like, and the action is also reliable.
