[Industrial applications]

 The present invention discharges dust such as fat-rich scale, fat particles emulsified with soap, hair with oil attached, etc. floating on the surface of water or hot water in a bathtub, etc. to the outside of the bathtub. The present invention relates to a tool for discharging dust in a bathtub.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When a person enters a bathtub, sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands of the skin, a fat film formed on the surface of the skin, fat particles and dirt emulsified with soap, and oil are attached. Hair and the like float on the water surface as dust in the bathtub, and these bathtub dusts floating on the water surface are unclean because they easily adhere to the body when a person leaves the bathtub. Conventionally, the method of removing the floating debris floating in the bathtub on the surface of the water is to collect the floating debris by a net with fine mesh attached to the frame in the shape of a bag or racket, collect it in the net, and remove it by scooping up. It was target.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands of the skin, the fat film formed on the surface of the skin, the fat particles and dirt emulsified with these fats, and the hair with oil attached, etc. As abundant floating debris is collected in the net, the surface tension of the water surface inside the net decreases, and the collected floating debris diffuses from the inside to the outside due to the surface tension of the water surface around it. However, the net method has a drawback that it is difficult to remove the floating dust efficiently. Generally, the surface tension of water is about 70 dyne / cm at a water temperature of 35 to 40 ° C, but the surface tension of the water surface decreases as oily floating dust is collected. However, it is based on the phenomenon that the surface tension decreases to a level of 20 to 60 dyne / cm depending on the quality and the degree of collection of the oil content of floating dust. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub floating dust discharge tool that efficiently catches floating dust such as fat scale-rich scale floating on the water surface of the bathtub and discharges it to the outside of the bathtub in the prior art. To do.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a floating hollow hose with an expanded diameter at one end of a flexible hose to facilitate collection of floating dust floating on the water surface, while collecting it at the other end. Floating dust in the bath, which is made of rubber, synthetic resin, wood, metal or a combination thereof, characterized in that the bath drain has a removable floating dust outlet that guides the floating dust to the bath drain. It provides a discharge tool. The hollow hose used in the present invention is a flexible hose made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride resin, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, fluororesin, or synthetic rubber such as SBR, NBR, EPDM. Examples thereof include, but are not limited to, a cylindrical hose and a flexible bellows-shaped hose. The floating dust inlet used in the present invention includes synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride resin, fluororesin, phenol resin, amino resin, urethane resin, foams thereof, aluminum, iron, etc. Examples include a bowl-shaped, bowl-shaped, cup-shaped, or funnel-shaped bath floating dust inlet that is made of metal or wood and has a diameter equal to or greater than the diameter of a hollow hose. However, it is not limited to these. Further, as the bath dust floating outlet used in the present invention, a plug having a drain hole made of rubber such as CR, NBR, SBR, IR, EPDM, or synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride resin, fluororesin Other examples include, but are not limited to, a pipe with a flange-like fin that tightly and watertightly surrounds the circumference of the bathtub drainage by the force of water pressure, and a tapered pipe that fits into the bathtub drainage.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, a part or the whole of the edge of the floating dust inlet on the water surface is located at a position slightly lower than the level of the water surface, that is, the edge of the floating dust inlet and the water surface due to surface tension. When the water on the water surface is drawn into the floating debris inflow port by lowering the contact angle more than the equilibrium between the water surface and the water surface, the surface tension is relatively low compared to the normal water surface, which is rich in oil. The water surface where the floating debris is dense will be drawn around the floating debris inflow port earlier than the water surface where there is little floating debris. As a result, there is provided a bathtub floating dust discharge tool capable of effectively attracting floating dust having a low surface tension into the floating dust inlet and discharging it to the outside of the bath through the hollow hose and the bath floating dust discharge port. It has become.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of a bathtub floating dust discharge tool according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which one end of a bellows-shaped hollow hose 2 has floating dust 13 as shown in the usage example of FIG. A funnel-shaped floating dust inflow port 1 having an expanded diameter for easy collection, and a drain hole plug 3 for closing the bath drain port 11 at the other end of the hollow hose 2 are provided with screws, fittings, adhesives, They are connected by a hot melt material, heat welding or the like, or a plug attachment tool 4 or the like. In the bathtub floating dust discharge tool having such a configuration, the drainage plug 10 that closes the bathtub drainage port 11 is removed, and the plug 3 with a drainage hole is fitted into the bathtub drainage port 11. By moving the floating debris 13 to the water surface where it is gathered and pulling the edge below the water surface, the floating dust 13 with low surface tension and easy to diffuse can be attracted, captured, and easily discharged outside the bathtub. It became a bathtub floating garbage discharge tool.

FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of a device for discharging floating debris from a bathtub, which is a second embodiment of the present invention. One end of the hollow hose 2 has a funnel shape with an expanded diameter so that the floating debris 13 can be easily collected. The floating dust inflow port 1 and the other end have a flanged fin pipe 6 that tightly and watertightly surrounds the bathtub drainage port 11 by the force of water pressure, and includes a screw, a fitting, an adhesive material, a hot melt material, Alternatively, they are joined by heat welding or the like. In the tub floating dust discharge tool having such a configuration, the drain plug 10 that closes the bath drain 11 is removed, and the flange fin portion of the vip 6 with the flange fin is utilized by the force of water pressure. After closely sealing and water-tightly surrounding 11, the floating debris inlet 1 is moved to the surface of the water where floating debris 13 is gathered, and its edge is pulled below the surface of the water, so that the surface tension is low and the floating debris 13 that is easy to diffuse It became a bathtub floating debris discharger that can attract, capture, and easily discharge it outside the bathtub.

FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the present invention, a bathtub floating dust discharging tool, in which one end of the hollow hose 2 has a diameter increased to facilitate collecting floating dust 13 A floating debris inflow portion 7 having a rubbish inflow port 1 is formed, and a tapered cylindrical plug portion 8 is formed at the other end so that the bathtub drain 11 can be closed. In the bathtub floating dust discharging device having such a configuration, the drain plug 10 that closes the bath drain 11 is removed, the tapered cylindrical plug portion 8 is fitted into the bath drain 11, and then the diameter is expanded. By moving the collected floating dust inflow part 7 to the water surface where the floating dust 13 is gathered and pulling the edge of the floating dust 13 below the water surface, the floating dust 13 with a low surface tension and easy to diffuse is attracted and captured, and is taken out of the bathtub. It became a bathtub floating dust discharge tool that can be easily discharged.
