Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to scrubbing used for cleaning the skin of the face, hands, etc. to remove dirt and stains, and is particularly excellent in soft touch and familiarity with the skin when used and is discarded. It has excellent degradability such as biodegradability when it is used, and it is related to dross, which has become a favorite in the recent ecology boom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A plaque that uses a conventional silk fiber cloth as a surface material to softly and finely rub the skin such as the face is made of urethane foam or the like as an elastic core material from the viewpoint of economy. Many of them use synthetic elastic materials,
They have poor water absorbency, elasticity and flexibility, and have a drawback that they cannot be said to be sufficiently soft to the touch and have a good fit with the skin. . In addition, synthetic elastic materials also have the disadvantage that they are often poor in degradability such as biodegradability and thermal decomposability at the time of disposal and are often involved in the destruction of natural ecosystems.

[0003]

Therefore, the softness and the like when applied to the skin and the familiarity are good, and it is very suitable for polishing the skin finely and without roughening the skin, and at the time of disposal. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide, at a very low cost, plaque picking using natural sponge as a core material, which has good degradability such as biodegradability and is friendly to the natural environment.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problem and Its Action] The invention according to claim 1 relates to a large number of cut pieces (1) of natural sponge, in particular, for office work, cleaning, cosmetics, medical use using natural sponge as a material. A large number of scraps such as scraps generated when manufacturing various products, such as cotton, hemp, rayon and other chemical fibers, are organometallic compounds, inorganic substances, metal salts, quaternary ammonium salts, chitosan. It is processed with antibacterial and deodorant finishing agents and materials to give it an antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant effect that is difficult to drop off with water or soapy water, and then it is filled in a bag (2) made by sewing the fiber. Moreover, the surface of the bag is made of silk fiber with a mesh of several meshes to several tens of meshes (3).
It is covered with and is clean.

In such a scrub, the natural sponge as the core material inside the bag (2) has a significantly higher water absorption than synthetic materials such as urethane foam, and has excellent elasticity and flexibility, and its elasticity is low. Is also moderately strong, and the feeling of softness that touches the skin and the familiarity with the skin are remarkably gentle, and it contributes to providing a scrub that is easy to use and is suitable for infants' skin. Since it is possible to use sponge as a waste and sponge during the production of sponge products, it becomes very inexpensive, and even sponges such as fine scraps are stored in the bag and do not spill outside. And since the bag is composed of fibers that have been subjected to antibacterial and deodorant processing, it is possible to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold on the surface of the scrubbing surface, and there is also the possibility of producing a foul odor without adversely affecting the skin by microorganisms. Absent. In addition, the antibacterial deodorized fiber bag also prevents the growth of bacteria and mold in the surrounding sponge tissue, so it is also possible to prevent the entire dirt scent from becoming odorous or unsanitary. become able to.

Since the surface of such a scrub is covered with a net, unnecessary matters such as dirt, dust, etc., spoilage, etc. are not likely to stay between the net and the bag, and the water is well drained. In addition to being suitable for storage, the structure of the net is rich in undulations, which makes it easy to perform fine rubbing operations on the skin with fingers. Furthermore, since the sponge inside is a natural product, it has good degradability such as biodegradability and thermal decomposability at the time of disposal, and it becomes a naturally-friendly dust rub that does not destroy the natural environment. Of course, if the fibers of the bag (2) are made of a natural product such as cotton or rayon, or a derivative thereof, it is more complete that the whole duster is made of a natural product and has good degradability. Becomes It should be noted that the net is one that facilitates fine rubbing and polishing of the skin without the skin being roughened by the silk thread that composes the net, but the silk thread should be as twisted as possible. If so, the angular cross-sectional shape of the silk fiber itself or the concavo-convex structure can be used for finely rubbing the skin.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the sponge scrap of the invention of the first aspect is the sponge cut piece used as a core material, which is used after using the sandblast with soapy water or the like. In order to prevent as much as possible the bad odor and unsanitaryness that the bacteria and fungi grow into, it is necessary to apply the same antibacterial and deodorant treatment to the sponge cut pieces in advance. Is.

As in the case of the second aspect of the present invention, the scrub of the third aspect of the invention is a means for completely preventing the cut pieces of sponge from becoming a breeding field for bacteria and the like, as much as possible. A large number of cut pieces of appropriate length, similar to the fibers for the bag described above, which have been subjected to an antibacterial and deodorant treatment, were premixed with a large number of sponge cut pieces used as the core material of the sandblast. It is a thing. Again, each of the antibacterial and deodorant cut pieces of fiber prevents the growth of bacteria and mold on the surrounding sponge cut pieces, preventing the sand scraping from giving off a bad odor or becoming unsanitary after use. You can avoid it as completely as possible.

The plaque of the invention of claim 4 is an antibacterial agent as a constituent material of the bag in the plaque of the invention of claim 1, claim 2 or claim 3 or as a mixture with a sponge cutting piece. Deodorized fiber is kneaded with a fine powder of chitosan, a cationic polymer that has antibacterial and antifungal properties against many bacteria and fungi in a sodium cellulose xanthate solution for polynodic fiber. And obtained by spinning in accordance with the manufacturing conditions of the polynodic fiber (for example, chitopoly fiber manufactured by Fuji Spinning Co., Ltd.). In the case of such a fiber, since antibacterial and antifungal chitosan is kneaded and fixed in the polynodic fiber, compared with the case of the fiber post-treated with other antibacterial deodorant. The durability of antibacterial and deodorant effects such as washing durability is particularly excellent, which contributes to the maintenance of the permanent antibacterial and deodorant properties of the plaque, while the antibacterial and antifungal properties of chitosan are mild and safe for the skin. In addition, since both polynodiku fiber and chitosan are materials derived from natural products and having good degradability such as biodegradability, they are very suitable for imparting a human- and environment-friendly character to the whole dross.

According to the invention as defined in claim 5, there is provided the drape according to claim 1, claim 2, claim 3 or claim 4, wherein a part of the net (3) is used as a surface material of the drape. For example, only one side part of the sandblast or only one-third part of the one side is replaced with a plain-woven silk cloth, or a plain-woven silk cloth is attached thereto. By doing so, in addition to the rubbing and polishing operations with the net, it is possible to freely perform a more gentle and fine rubbing operation with the plain-woven silk cloth. In addition, by using untwisted or untwisted silk threads that make up the plain-woven silk cloth, it is possible to use the angular cross-sectional shape of each silk fiber itself or the concavo-convex shape of the nodes to make it finely detailed. It also gives the effect of rubbing the skin.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drape according to any one of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth inventions, wherein the net (2) for covering the bag (2) is 3)
For example, when the bag and the net are bound to each other with threads along the latitude and longitude lines at several points on the surface of the dust, the structure is partially integrated with the bag. There is something. With such a structure, the positional deviation between the bag and the net is reduced, and the rubbing operation of the skin for manually moving the scrub is facilitated to be performed accurately and precisely.

[0012]

EXAMPLES As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a cut piece (1) of a natural sponge of pea size to pebbles size, such as a scrap generated when a product for business use is manufactured from a natural sponge. Chitosan, a large number of which is a cationic polymer and has antibacterial and antifungal properties, is kneaded into finely divided chitosan obtained by kneading it into a sodium cellulose xanthate acid solution for polynodic fiber and mixing them. Therefore, it is filled in a bag (2) made of polynodic fiber that has been processed so as to exhibit an excellent antibacterial and deodorant effect, and then appropriately sealed into a bag of the size of a human fist. . And, the purse-like thing of the same size and the same shape as the bag of the lace net (3) knitted with untwisted silk thread which is untwisted and has a mesh of about 10 mesh. It is covered with the one formed in the above, and the mouth portion is closed with the mouth cord (4) to make it scrubbed.

As described above, in order to enhance the antibacterial and deodorant effect of the natural sponge cut pieces in the bag, the cut pieces themselves are previously subjected to antibacterial and deodorant treatment with an antibacterial and antifungal agent. It is also possible to preliminarily mix them with a large number of cut pieces of the appropriate length of the polynodick fiber containing chitosan or other fibers subjected to antibacterial and deodorant treatment. In addition to the rubbing action of the silk net, a part of the purse-like net is replaced with a plain weave silk cloth so that a more detailed rubbing action can be obtained. A plain weave silk cloth may be attached and overlaid.

In FIG. 3, the relative position between the bag (2) for filling the sponge cutting pieces and the net covering it is not changed during the rubbing operation so that the rubbing operation can be performed easily and precisely. In order to do so, a large number of the above-mentioned natural sponge cutting pieces (1) are provided on the surface side of a substantially spherical drawstring-like bag (2) made of the above-mentioned polynosic fiber containing chitosan, the same size as the bag, A bag (2) of the same shape made of a net (3) of about 10 mesh woven with silk thread is layered to form a double bag, and the bags are distributed along four longitude lines at substantially equal intervals ( 2) and the net bag-like material are bound together with a thread (5) to integrate the two at the longitude line part, and a mouth part common to the both parts is provided and filled inside, and then the mouth string It is a scrubbed so that its mouth is closed in (4).

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, since the scraps and wastes produced during the production of natural sponge can be utilized, the scrap can be produced at a very low cost, and the natural sponge can be used as a core material. Since the sponge has excellent water absorbency and flexibility and elasticity, it has a very good feel to the skin and a good fit to the skin, and the silk net on the surface that directly contacts the skin or the delicate rubbing of the silk cloth. Combined with the action, it becomes a scrub that is suitable for infants and children and can exert a very gentle and fine skin rubbing effect. In addition, since the surface is covered with a net, stains are unlikely to stay on the surface, the water is well drained after use, drying is easy, and storage stability is excellent.

[0016] Furthermore, the bag in which the natural sponge is wrapped and whose cut pieces do not spill off the fragments and 雛 has an antibacterial and deodorant treatment, so that the growth of bacteria and mold in the scrub can be prevented, and especially the core Even the sponge of the material can be completely prevented from the growth of bacteria when the same antibacterial and deodorant finish is applied in advance.
It is possible to further improve the odor prevention and the preservation effect of the whole scrub. And since the sponge of the core material is a natural product, it has good degradability such as biodegradability and thermal decomposability when discarded, and it is environmentally friendly without destroying nature, and the bag that wraps the sponge is also natural. When it is made up of fibers of an object or its derivatives, the degradability and environmental friendliness of the whole plaque will be perfect, and it will be possible to provide a very gentle and beneficial plaque to humans and the environment. .
