Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deodorant composition and a deodorant capable of eliminating unpleasant odors simply by adding water to a place such as a clog box, an entrance, an automobile, etc. where the odor is anxious. The present invention relates to a structural material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are at least a plurality of places where unpleasant odors occur in ordinary households (houses), even if consumers do not mind. For example, if the shoe box itself is filled with odors such as sweat that has stained on the shoes in addition to the odor of the shoes themselves in the semi-enclosed space, and when you open the door, you feel extremely uncomfortable There is. In addition, the odor may drift to the entrance. The same applies to the inside of the toilet, and moreover, for others such as visitors, these unpleasant odors may feel pain that is extremely intolerable. Also, even in the semi-open space of the dining room and living room, in a household with a smoker, the smell of tobacco is nothing unpleasant for others, and in a family with pets, The characteristic odor of the odor or its manure is often unpleasant. The interior of the vehicle is often a space that is unpleasant for others because the seats and interior materials are soaked with body odor and bad breath that are hard to notice. Furthermore, in nursing homes and various nursing facilities, a peculiar smell may be unpleasant for visitors and nurses.

[0003] Therefore, natural ventilation is performed by opening a window, or forced ventilation is performed by operating a ventilation fan.
Installing new windows and ventilation fans in shoe boxes and entrances is not practical from an economical point of view, and these ventilations will reduce cooling and heating efficiency in summer and winter when cooling and heating are required. Since it has the effect of reducing odors and has the effect of eliminating odors only during ventilation, it is usually used in combination with a method using an aromatic agent or the like that generates an aroma that eliminates the unpleasant odors.

[0004]

However, although fragrances generate a strong fragrance, if the unpleasant odor cannot be completely eliminated, it may be mixed with another unpleasant odor. There was something. In some cases, the strong fragrance itself was unpleasant.

In recent years, a deodorizing material (tool) in which a deodorant is contained in a container made of transparent plastic or glass is commercially available, but this deodorizing material loses its effect after a certain period of time. Alternatively, since the entire container is discarded when it becomes weak, the content of the container is simply increased unnecessarily.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and it has been proposed that powder of sodium polyacrylate is
A deodorizing composition characterized by adsorbing a liquid obtained by dissolving or dispersing a deodorant such as camphor tree, nicki and the like, a deodorant such as cinnamic acid in ethanol, and the deodorant composition comprising water-soluble paper. The present invention relates to a structure for a deodorant material, which is enclosed in a bag material.

[0007]

The deodorant composition or deodorant composition of the present invention can be placed in a glass or container not used at home simply with a suitable amount of water, and can be used as a deodorant material of a mounting type. Is what you can do. That is, the bag material made of water-soluble paper is instantaneously disintegrated (dissolved), and the particles of sodium polyacrylate in contact with water are quickly absorbed by water and expanded, and voids are formed between the particles. Therefore, the deodorant attached to the sodium polyacrylate particles has a large surface area in contact with air,
Demonstrate the deodorizing effect efficiently.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a deodorant and sodium polyacrylate used in a deodorant composition and a deodorant composition of the present invention will be described. As the deodorant used in the present invention, an extract of camphor tree, nikki, etc., cinnamic acid and the like can be used, but those which have a so-called deodorant function and adsorption function are particularly limited to these. is not. In addition, sodium polyacrylate used in the present invention is a partially cross-linked (sprinkled) polymer, which can absorb water several hundred times to 1,000 times its own weight, and can disperse water between molecules. It has the characteristic property that it gradually releases absorbed water when the outside dries, but does not release water when pressure is applied. Utilizing this property, it is used for disposable diapers and sanitary napkins, and is expected to be used for artificial snow and soil water retention agents.

Next, a method for producing the deodorant composition of the present invention will be described. First, the deodorant is dissolved (dispersed) in a solvent (dispersion medium) such as ethanol to form a uniform solution (dispersion liquid). As the solvent (dispersion medium), other alcohols may be used, but ethanol is preferable in consideration of subsequent volatilization and the like. Water should be avoided because it is absorbed by sodium polyacrylate. The concentration at this time is not particularly limited, but a low concentration of about 1% is preferable. Next, this solution (dispersion liquid) is uniformly mixed with the sodium polyacrylate powder. Ethanol in the solution has extremely high volatility, so that it is easily volatilized at room temperature without performing a treatment such as heating, and the deodorant is adsorbed on the surface of the sodium acrylate powder.

Next, a method for producing the deodorizing material structure of the present invention will be described. Since various types of water-soluble papers are already commercially available, these may be formed into a bag material by a known method. In addition, alkaline water soluble paper, hot water (hot water)
The fusible paper cannot be used because it is hardly soluble in tap water at a normal temperature (about 5 to 25 ° C.). Means for enclosing the deodorant composition prepared as described above in the bag made of the water-soluble paper may be performed by a known method, and is not particularly limited.

The deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention thus prepared are added to an appropriate container together with water at home to prepare a deodorant material (tool). At this time, since the bag material of the deodorant component body is water-soluble paper as described above, the bag material is instantly dissolved in water such as tap water, and the sodium polyacrylate particles that come into contact with the water quickly absorb water. To expand. In addition, since the particles of sodium polyacrylate before absorbing water are small,
The deodorant attached to the surface of the particles is not in sufficient contact with air, but after sodium polyacrylate has absorbed several hundred to 1,000 times its volume of water, gaps are formed between the particles,
The deodorant attached to the particles has a large surface area in contact with air. Therefore, the deodorizing effect can be efficiently exhibited.

[0012] The deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention are in a form that does not contain a container or water like a conventional deodorant in a container. , And the structure for a deodorant is a simple pouch. Therefore, it is extremely small in volume and extremely lightweight. further,
Since the product volume is extremely small, its packaging is simple,
For example, a general-purpose packaging material that does not allow water to permeate can be used, and no special packaging line (equipment) is required. On the other hand, the conventional deodorant in a container has a large volume because it is in a container, and water occupies most of its weight. In addition, since the product shape is the shape of the container, that is, a cylindrical shape, it is necessary to pack the product on a packaging line using, for example, a heat-shrinkable film. It is necessary to avoid contact with air.

[0013] As described above, the deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention are significantly smaller in volume and lighter in weight than the conventional deodorant in a container. This is extremely advantageous for transportation and take-out by consumers. In addition, since it does not include a plastic or glass container that becomes waste after use as in the related art, it is extremely easy to manufacture even including the packaging process, so that the cost can be reduced, In addition, there is an advantage that waste garbage is not increased. If the deodorizing effect is lost after a certain period of time, only the deodorized material that has absorbed water inside the container such as a glass may be discarded, and the container such as a washed glass may be used again for drinking. Good, and put a new deodorant composition or deodorant constituent together with water and absorb water,
It may be used again as a container for a deodorant.

Consumers who have purchased the deodorant composition or the deodorant composition according to the present invention can put the deodorant composition or deodorant removed from the packaging material into a container such as a glass at home. While the odor material composition is put together with an appropriate amount of water and placed in the corner of a clog box etc., the conventional container deodorant material peels off the packaging material, opens the upper lid, removes the poly lid inside, and again Close the top cover and place it in a corner of a shoe box. Therefore, a container and water must be prepared for the deodorizing composition and the deodorizing material composition of the present invention, while it is necessary to perform a troublesome operation such as removing the inner lid in the conventional container deodorizing material. Because there is, it is not always decided which is superior, but it depends on the consumer's sense. However, the deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention are particularly attractive to children because the state in which sodium acrylate rapidly absorbs water when put in a container together with an appropriate amount of water is rich in visual amusement. In some homes, toy-like fun can be provided.

[0015] Further, the conventional deodorizing material in a container is prepared by adding water at the manufacturing stage, packaging the product, shipping the product therefrom, arranging it in a store via a distribution channel, and taking a long time before the consumer purchases it. Has passed. In addition, the time period elapses even if the consumer keeps the household without using it immediately. Therefore, even if voids are formed between the particles at the beginning of shipment, the contents that have absorbed water during the manufacturing stage will have a weight difference between the particles due to the weight of the particles that have absorbed water during the course of the distribution process, store display, storage at home, etc. The voids are liable to be crushed and clumped, which hinders the deodorant from coming into contact with the air. However, the deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention do not hinder the deodorization effect even if a long period of time has passed from production to use, and the deodorant composition is prepared immediately before use. Is added to absorb water, so that voids are formed between the sodium acrylate particles as described above, and the function of the deodorant is attained more efficiently than at least the conventional deodorant in a container.

EXAMPLES Examples of the deodorant composition and the deodorant composition of the present invention will be described below.

A 1% solution was prepared by dissolving a camphor extract, a Nikki extract and a deodorant comprising cinnamic acid in ethanol. Next, a 1% ethanol solution of the above-mentioned deodorant was added while stirring the crosslinked sodium polyacrylate powder. The addition ratio is 100 g of 1% ethanol solution of deodorant per 1 kg of sodium polyacrylate.
l. Stirring was continued as it was, and when it was confirmed that almost all of the ethanol had volatilized, stirring was terminated, and this was designated as deodorant composition 1.

6 g of the deodorant composition prepared as described above was
The water-soluble paper is sealed in a bag material 2 formed into a bag shape of 67 × 50 mm (glue allowance: 7 to 10 mm), and this is used as a deodorant component 3
And Note that the deodorizing material structure 3 may be enclosed in the bag material 2 by any known method.

Then, the obtained deodorant material construct 3 was folded in half as shown in FIG. 1 (80 × 52 mm).
4 and housed in a transparent packaging bag (110 × 70 mm) 6 made of polypropylene having a seal part 5 that can be freely opened and closed, and the seal part 5 is closed for sale. In addition, a product name or the like is appropriately described on the front surface of the mount 4, and a handling explanation is described on the rear surface. Although the drawing shows a state in which only one bag of the deodorant component 3 is inserted between the mounts 4, three bags are actually inserted.

The product for sale of the deodorant composition 3 manufactured in this way is only about 20 g in total and extremely light, and has a very small volume and easily fits in a hand or a pocket of clothes. On the order of magnitude, a consumer who purchases can take it home very easily.

The purchased product may be stored at home for several months. When used, packaging bag 6
Was opened, and one bag of the deodorant component 3 was taken out, and an appropriate container 7 was prepared. The container 7 may be any container as long as it does not leak, may be an empty bottle or empty container for confectionery, tableware such as a bowl that is not frequently used, or a container such as a glass or a cup. But it is good. In an automobile, an ashtray container may be used. Needless to say, it is preferable to use a seat that does not tilt easily due to a slight vibration or the like and has a good sitting position. Then, as shown in FIG.
The deodorant component 3 was put therein, and an appropriate amount of water 8 (in this case, 180 ml) was poured. At that time, since the bag 2 of water-soluble paper can be inserted as it is without breaking it, the operation was extremely simple and the hands and fingers were not stained. Thereafter, the water-soluble bag material 2 collapsed instantaneously without any need for stirring or the like, and the internal sodium polyacrylate rapidly absorbed water and expanded. When the obtained deodorant is placed in a room, the volume of the container may be approximately the same as or larger than the volume of the deodorant when expanded. Although it did not require treatment, when placed in a car, so that some particles in the container do not jump out of the container, using a container having a volume larger than the volume when expanded, It was necessary to cover or cover the open top of the container so that it would not be completely closed. As described above, the deodorizing material component 3 of the present invention can form the deodorizing material 9 by an extremely simple operation, and the obtained deodorizing material 9 can be used for the odor of a shoe box, an entrance, an automobile, or the like. I was able to remove the unpleasant odor simply by putting it in a place where

Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be implemented in any way unless the configuration described in the claims is changed. Can be.
