The relationship between m 2 ) and the average pore diameter (2r) is shown. It shows that the smaller the average pore size is, the larger the area of water repellency becomes, and that high pressure is required for water to permeate. Conventionally, the water pressure resistance was 0.5 kg / cm 2 or less when the average pore diameter was 3 μm, but when the average pore diameter of the present invention was 0.1 μm, the water pressure resistance was as high as 4 kg / cm 2 and water invaded. It is difficult to do.

という状態を防止できる。As is apparent from the above description, the bath remote controller of the present invention has the following effects. (1) By providing a porous membrane that allows air to pass through but does not allow water to pass, it is possible to prevent water from entering the remote controller body and prevent an increase in internal pressure of the remote controller body. (2) The protective portion of the elastic body that protects the porous film prevents the porous film from being accidentally opened. Further, it prevents the surface active agent such as soap water from directly contacting the porous membrane, and also prevents the hot water or the like in the bath from directly contacting the porous membrane and blocking the pores of the porous membrane. . (3) Since the protective part is provided with a slit that opens when it is elastically deformed, the rise in the internal pressure of the remote control body can be further suppressed. For example, the name plate attached to the remote control body is adhered to both sides. It is possible to prevent the internal pressure from rising before the tape is peeled off. Therefore, even if the temperature of the remote control body changes, the nameplate will not come off. (4) Since the protective part that protects the porous membrane is provided with a cap around the protective part so that it cannot be easily taken out accidentally, the protective part can be taken out by mischief to protect the porous membrane. It can be prevented from running out. Also, this cap prevents the protective part from popping out when the internal pressure of the remote control body rises abnormally. (5) Since the notch is provided in the press-fitting portion into which the cap fits, an air communication path is formed, and therefore the internal pressure of the remote control body does not rise. (6) The remote controller main body has a notch on the mounting base to form an air communication path so that the pressure can escape to the outside when the internal pressure of the remote controller rises. Can prevent it from rising.
