The electrolyzed water containing hypochlorous acid is generated in an electrolytic cell. It is known that the generated electrolyzed water has a bactericidal activity against various bacteria and has no persistence and is gentle on the skin. A salt solution tank, an alkaline water recovery tank, and a pump are connected to the electrolytic tank by piping to generate acidic electrolyzed water containing hypochlorous acid. It is known that the generated acidic electrolyzed water has an immediate bactericidal activity against various bacteria and has no persistence and is gentle on the skin.
The electrolytic water or acidic electrolytic water has poor storage stability. When the user operates the switch, the towel is made to wet the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolyzer by the watering nozzle disposed near the outlet, and the towel containing the electrolyzed water is discharged. Electrolyzed water is heated by a heater to the extent that hypochlorous acid does not evaporate.
If a towel containing electrolyzed water is used as a towel, bacteria causing food poisoning will be eliminated and food poisoning will be prevented. If a towel warmed with electrolyzed water is used to clean the skin of patients and bedridden elderly people, it will be effective in skin care and prevent floor rubbing. If you use a warm towel containing electrolyzed water to wipe your baby's diaper when changing diapers, you can prevent diaper rash. Less irritating and less irritating to damaged skin and mucous membranes. In addition, there is little problem of causing skin dryness and roughness. It is sanitary because no bacteria grow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The sterilized water-containing towel server according to the present embodiment includes a water tank 1, an alkaline water recovery tank 2, a pump 3, a non-diaphragm electrolytic cell 4 including a pair of electrodes (not shown), a heater 5, A roll-shaped nonwoven fabric 6, a feed motor 7, and a watering nozzle 7 are provided. The water tank 1, the pump 3, the diaphragm-free electrolytic cell 4, the heater 5, and the sprinkling nozzle 7 are arranged in the order of the water tank 1, the pump 3, the diaphragm-free electrolytic cell 4, the heater 5, and the sprinkling nozzle 7 from upstream to downstream. They are connected in series. An alkaline water recovery tank 2 is connected downstream of the diaphragmless electrolytic cell 4 in parallel with the connection. It has a switch 10 for taking out the sterilized water-containing nonwoven fabric only for one use and a feed motor 11.

In the towel server containing sterilized water according to the present embodiment having the above configuration, when the user presses the switch 10, a control circuit (not shown) is activated, the pump 3 is activated, and the salt in the water tank 1 is operated. Water is sent to the diaphragmless electrolytic cell 4. In the non-diaphragm electrolytic cell 4, a current is applied between electrodes (not shown), and electrolyzed water is generated. Part of the electrolyzed water is recovered in the alkaline water recovery tank 2. The electrolyzed water generated in the diaphragmless electrolytic cell 4 is heated by the heater 5. The heated electrolyzed water is sprinkled by a sprinkling nozzle 7 onto a towel 20 pulled out from the rolled nonwoven fabric 6 by a feed motor 8. The towel 61 containing the electrolyzed water is discharged from a discharge port (not shown) of the apparatus A shown in FIG. The towel 61 containing the electrolyzed water has a bactericidal activity against various bacteria and contains electrolyzed water which is known to be non-persistent and gentle on the skin. Bacteria can prevent food poisoning. In addition, when used for cleaning the skin of patients and bedridden elderly people, skin care is provided and floor rubbing is prevented. Also, if used for wiping the diaper when changing diapers for babies, it will prevent diaper rash. Less irritating and less irritating to damaged skin and mucous membranes. In addition, there is little problem of causing skin dryness and roughness. It is sanitary because no bacteria grow.

Since the electrolyzed water is corrosive, the heater 5 is preferably made of, for example, a ceramic. Excessive heating may cause the hypochlorous acid related to the bactericidal action in the electrolyzed water to evaporate and the bactericidal power to be reduced. If the towel 6 contains an organic substance that reacts with hypochlorous acid contained in the electrolyzed water, a sterilizing effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is preferable to use a nonwoven fabric that does not contain an organic substance that reacts with hypochlorous acid. Since the electrolyzed water deteriorates with time, it is preferable that the electrolyzed water is generated, sprinkled, and discharged from the apparatus A each time the user turns on the switch 10. Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The diaphragmless electrolytic cell 4 may be a diaphragm type electrolytic cell. Further, the alkaline water recovery tank 2 may be omitted, and the acidic water generated in the non-diaphragm electrolytic cell 4 and the alkaline water may be mixed. Alternatively, the electrolytic cell 4 may be directly connected to tap water via an electromagnetic valve linked to the switch 10. The watering nozzle 7 makes the electrolyzed water small and makes it uniform on the towel.
Any means can be used as long as the means can be applied efficiently, and for example, an ultrasonic atomizing device or a nozzle type may be used.
