Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a type of laundry pack that is thrown into a washing machine in one pack (may be two packs or more depending on the washing capacity) in one wash. .

[Conventional technology]

Generally, the washing process with a washing machine includes water injection, washing, dehydration,
It consists of rinsing and dehydration, and laundry aids such as fabric softeners were added after the completion of washing in order to exert their effects. Conventionally, housewives usually operate each step of a washing machine in sequence, and in such a case, after adding a detergent first to finish the washing step, a softening agent, a bleaching agent, a sizing agent, etc. are newly added in the rinsing step. The addition of the laundry aid of No. 10 was not so burdensome, and there was no great resistance. However, with the recent spread of semi-automatic and fully-automatic washing machines, housewives have been released from intermediate operations, but they have not been completely released due to the addition of auxiliary agents. .

Further, various types have been developed in which only the detergent is contained in the bag and the bag is thrown into the washing machine.

Whether the detergent was in a pack or the detergent was measured in an appropriate amount each time it was washed, the washing aid was added after the washing was completed.

In order to use the laundry aid by mixing it in the detergent composition in advance, the active ingredient is protected during washing, adsorbed to clothes and brought into the rinsing step, and the active ingredient is added to the rinsing solution at the same time as the start of rinsing. It is necessary to elute. Therefore, by coating a laundry aid with a polymer that is substantially insoluble in an alkaline cleaning liquid and becomes soluble in a neutral rinse, the laundry auxiliary component is protected from the alkaline cleaning liquid during washing, Auxiliary components can be eluted in the rinsing solution during the rinsing process, which effectively exerts the effect of the auxiliaries, and the laundry auxiliary, which had to be added in the rinsing process, is effective from the beginning. Since it is mixed in a standard manner, it is possible to save the trouble of adding an auxiliary agent. Therefore, a laundry aid as described in JP-A-61-28596 has been developed.

[Problems to be solved]

If the laundry auxiliary agent as described in JP-A-61-28596 is thrown into the washing machine from the initial stage of washing, the laundry auxiliary agent is also discharged during drainage, and there is a disadvantage that only a small amount remains in the rinsing process. It was

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if both the detergent and the washing aid are thrown into the washing machine before the washing machine is operated, the detergent is first melted to end the washing process, and the washing aid is washed in the rinsing process. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a laundry pack in which most of the agent remains and works effectively.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms two or more chambers in a container body that can be opened and closed, and stores a detergent and a washing aid separately in each chamber, and the detergent and the washing aid are provided in each chamber. An outflow hole for letting the agent out is formed, and the entire opening area of the detergent outflow hole is made larger than that of the auxiliary agent outflow hole.

[Action]

If the laundry pack of the present invention is thrown into the water before the washing machine is operated and the washing machine is operated, the detergent is dissolved in the water from the detergent outlet hole having a large opening area, and immediately after the washing is started, the detergent is washed. Most of it melts. At this time, most of the laundry auxiliary agent remains in the container body even after draining after washing because the entire opening area of the auxiliary agent outlet hole is smaller than that of the detergent outflow hole. . When the rinsing step is started in this state, the auxiliary agent also dissolves out during this step and acts effectively.

〔Example〕

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, two or more chambers 2 and 3 are formed in a container body 1 that can be opened and closed, and a detergent 4 and a washing aid 5 such as a softening agent are provided in each chamber 2 and 3, respectively. It is housed in rooms 2 and 3. The chamber 2 is formed with an outflow hole 6 for flowing out the detergent 4 to the outside, and the chamber 3 is formed with an outflow hole 7 for flowing out the auxiliary agent 5 to the outside. The overall opening area of the outflow holes 6 is formed larger than the overall opening area of the outflow holes 7. In this first embodiment, the container body 1 is composed of a body portion 1A and a lid portion 1B. The lid portion 1B can be placed on the body portion 1A and the locking portion 8 can close the lid portion 1B to the body portion 1A. It has become. Although the outflow holes 6 and 7 are shown only on the lid portion 1B side in the drawing, similar outflow holes 6 and 7 may be formed on the main body portion 1A side. As shown in FIG. 2, the detergent 4 and the laundry aid 5 are housed in a bag 9 made of a water-soluble film or non-woven fabric of carboxymethyl cellulose, water-soluble starch, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, etc.
It is housed in 3. Although the bag body 9 is drawn with a considerable thickness in the drawing, it has a thickness of about 30 μm and is water-soluble. The container body 1 is molded using an elastic material such as PET elastomer or rubber. If a rigid material is used, it bumps into the washing machine and makes a loud noise, which is not preferable for use. As for the detergent 4 and the washing aid 5, various kinds of detergent 4 and the washing aid 5 can be refilled in the container main body 1 according to the kind of things to be washed. As the laundry aid 5, a bleaching agent, a sizing agent or the like can be used in addition to the softening agent.

A second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 shows a case in which three chambers in the container body 1 are formed, that is, chambers 2, 3 and 10, and in addition to the detergent 4, two different types of laundry aids 5 are used. , 5 were housed in rooms 3 and 10, respectively.

In FIG. 4, the outflow hole 6 (or 7) is formed in an elongated window as shown in FIG. 5, and an adjusting member 11 for adjusting the outflow amount is provided on the back side of the outflow hole 6 (7). The opening area of the outflow hole 6 (7) is adjusted by sliding the member 11.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, two or more chambers are formed in the container body that can be opened and closed, and the detergent and the laundry auxiliary agent are separately stored in each chamber, and the detergent and the laundry auxiliary agent are stored in each chamber. Since the outflow holes for outflowing the agent to the outside were formed and the overall opening area of the detergent outflow holes was made larger than that of the auxiliary agent outflow holes, the detergent outflow holes with a large opening area should be used at the initial washing stage. More detergent spills out and all of the detergent dissolves early in the washing process. At this stage, the washing aid has a small outflow hole for the aid, so it flows out little by little, so most of the aid still remains in the container body even at the rinsing stage. It works effectively in the rinsing stage. Since the container body of the present invention itself can be used repeatedly, it can be used many times by refilling the packed detergent and washing aid. Further, the types of detergent and laundry auxiliary can be easily changed according to the type of laundry. In addition, when a bag containing water-soluble film, non-woven fabric, or the like containing detergent or a washing aid is stored in each room, even if the bag remains after the washing is completed, the bag is stored in each room. Since it is in the open state, it will not adhere to clothing.
