Description

The utility model relates to light industry, to household items, personal hygiene, in particular, to devices for washing, cleaning and massage the skin, to skin care products, specifically to a bath and massage sponge obtained by weaving synthetic threads.

The invention is known "bath sponge-massage (patent RU No. 2067413, А47К 7/02), in which a synthetic fiber is rolled up into a skein of fiber with sharp edges in the form of spiral chips, tied from opposite sides. The washcloth according to this invention provides a strong effect on the skin at little physical cost to the user, however, it can damage the skin when exposed to the sharp edge of the side surface of the cut chips, thus providing a rough effect, while providing a massage effect.

The closest in technical essence is a bath-massage washcloth with massage effect (RF patent No. 2503396, А47К 7/02), including washing-massage layers made of natural or synthetic threads woven in the form of loops, additionally containing a flat base of the same loops or different threads, located between two washing-massage layers, conditionally upper and conditionally lower. In this case, the base is made of threads woven by various knots (Austrian or English conductor, lasso, running simple or straight, etc., only 9 types of knots), and the washing and massage layers are made of solid thread, tied to the base with sliding knots “tatting ", In the form of numerous uncut or cut loops, all this, according to the author, provides an improvement in washing ability, as well as scrubbing properties.

The disadvantage of this washcloth is quite complex, and at the same time insufficiently substantiated in complexity design, paying particular attention to the base, which is pre-made and knitted in the form of a cloth by various complex nodes. It is not clear why such a variety of types of nodes is needed. Moreover, the base itself does not perform special detergents, much less massage functions. It serves only for the subsequent attachment of washing and massage layers in the form of loops imposed on a flat base from above and below (on both sides) by a continuous thread of natural or synthetic fibers. Since the imposed loops are only partially cut or not cut at all, then when washing, the side surfaces of the threads, of which the loops are made, work mainly. And only partially, where the loops are cut, the cross sections of the cut loops work, and quite rare, judging by the photograph, which provides insufficient massage, especially if soft, including synthetic, threads are used. Thus, the massage and scrubbing properties of such a washcloth, apparently, depend mainly on the properties of the threads in the loops, and the necessary effect of cleaning the skin with simultaneous massage is achieved only in the case of hard threads, for example, if the loops and the base are made of jute.

In contrast to the prototype, a washcloth of such a design is proposed, which along with the washing properties (deep cleaning of skin pores and removal of the upper, dead layer of the epidermis) simultaneously demonstrates an effective enhanced massage effect.

The technical result consists in an enhanced and effective massage with such a washcloth, which provides both a peeling effect and a clean wash, due to the work of cross sections of densely arranged vertically standing synthetic fibers of its bristles, which form a washing-massage surface.

In addition, due to the air gap between the side surfaces of the bristle fibers, the overall washing surface of the washcloth increases and detergents are better held in it. As a result, the washcloth provides both high-quality washing, cleaning and massage of the skin.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the wash and massage washcloth is made of synthetic fiber that forms the wash and massage surface, consisting of transverse sections of vertically arranged densely standing synthetic fibers, equal sections of which in their central part are tightly knotted into two cords by knots, forming a bristled tape wound spirally on a flexible rod so that the transverse sections of the synthetic fibers are directed outward, forming a thick and dense bristle-like massage-washing surface.

For ease of use, the washcloth is made in the form of a cylinder or a ball.

Unlike analogues, in which massage-washing properties are achieved mainly due to the work of the lateral surface of the washing fibers, and in which therefore the massage effect is manifested to a much lesser extent, washcloths with a bristled surface work much more rigid, and therefore more effective sections of the transverse sections of densely standing fibers that provide massage due to their mechanical effect, which allows you to feel a strong massage effect, accompanied by peeling.

At the same time, a thick bristle of erect densely synthetic fibers works as one “continuous” surface, it does not allow cross-sections to damage the skin, as, for example, when using a washcloth made of synthetic chips with sharp edges of the side surface (RU patent No. 2067413, А47К 7/02), washing with which inevitably leads to mechanical damage or discomfort from rough exposure to the skin.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows the appearance of the bath and massage sponges in the form of a cylinder and a ball.

In figure 2. The view of the bristle tape from which the washcloth is collected is shown. Figure 3 shows a view of single bristles imposed on two cords.

In FIG. 4 shows the moment of twisting in a spiral of a bristle tape around a flexible rod.

Bath sponge massage (Fig. 1) with enhanced massage effect is made of twisted spiral bristle tape (Fig. 2), consisting of bristles 1, which is a cut of interwoven fibers from a synthetic cord, tightly fastened with strong knots into two parallel synthetic cords 2 , as shown in (Fig. 3), and then the bristle tape is wound in the form of a spiral (Fig. 4) onto a flexible rod 3 made of rope or cord or twine, fixed to this rod, and then the handles are tied.

Examples of manufacturing washcloths.

A bath-massage washcloth (Figure 1) with an enhanced massage effect is made in two steps: first, a bristle tape is made (Figure 2), and then a washcloth is made directly from it.

Material: for a bath and massage washcloth with enhanced massage effect, various synthetic materials can be selected, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, etc., but polypropylene is the most suitable fiber, since such a fiber in the best way combines a number of advantages:

Polypropylene fiber is more flexible than, for example, polyethylene or polyamide, it is resistant to acids, alkalis, organic solvents.

Polypropylene fiber products are initially antistatic and cheap, so polypropylene is cheaper than polyamide.

Polypropylene cords and products made of them are used everywhere, both in the industrial sphere, in agriculture, in construction work, and in everyday life. Cords are usually a large number of multifilament intertwined fibers. Sometimes, in order to increase the strength of the cord, a core is inserted into it during manufacture, but for the manufacture of a washcloth, a cord of increased strength is not required at all, therefore a whole braided cord made of the same type of fibers, having no core, is distinguished by a low price, which differs from ordinary ropes pluses:

has increased strength than known natural ropes;

polypropylene cord does not get wet, does not sink in water;

perfectly resists abrasion, the effects of acids, alkalis, solvents;

not subject to rotting, destructive action of fungi, mold at high humidity;

easy to clean, that is, easy to wash and wash, both manually and in washing machines.

It is very important to note that the cut of a polypropylene cord, which basically works in such a washcloth, although it has a fairly hard edge, but when in contact with the skin does not leave scratches and discomfort, even on areas of the skin that are considered especially sensitive and delicate.

To give an aesthetic appearance, the washcloth can be made in different colors from fibers of colored polypropylene.

I. The manufacture of bristle tape (Figure 2).

1. For the manufacture of tape cut the length of the cord (bristle) 1 of polypropylene interwoven fibers with a length of 21; eleven; 8 or 4 cm long, depending on the given width of the bristled tape: 10; 5; 3.5 or 1.5 cm, respectively, and on the diameter of the washcloth (20; 10; 7 or 3 cm).

2. The bristles are tied with a strong knot, for example, tie on two parallel polypropylene cords 2 (Figure 3), the same or smaller diameter. The bristles are tied to the base in the middle of their length, so that their ends are equal, and then the bristles fit tightly to each other. To obtain bristle tape with greater flexibility, use two parallel cords of smaller diameter than the cord for bristles. The length of the bristle tape depends on the specified length of the washcloth.

II. Production of washcloths (Figure 4).

1. For the manufacture of washcloths, the bristle tape is tied, fastened to a flexible rope rod 3, which can also be used with a polypropylene cord of a larger diameter or other durable flexible cords and ropes. Then, the bristle tape is wound in a spiral around a flexible rope rod 3 (Figure 4), and at the end it is again secured, tied using, for example, the edges of two parallel cords that remained free after tying the bristles, or using additional pieces of the cord. If the length of the bristled tape, for example, is more than 30 cm and up to 1.5 meters, then a washcloth in the form of a cylinder is obtained, to which handles can be attached on one side or on both sides. If the bristle tape is short (less than 30 cm) with bristles, for example, 10 or more centimeters high, then the washcloth has the shape of a ball, with or without handles.

2. The surface of the finished washcloth is leveled, if necessary, for example, using scissors so that the individual sharp edges of the bristles do not protrude above the plane of the washing surface.

To prove the enhanced massage effect of the washcloth, a series of experiments were conducted.

Example 1. A bath-massage washcloth is made, in which the bristles 1 (FIG. 2) are made of interwoven green and white polypropylene cord with a diameter of 2 mm, the length of the bristles is 11 cm, which are tied onto two parallel polypropylene cords 2 with a diameter of 2 mm. The length of the bristle tape is 150 cm. The tape is carried out alternately with multi-colored bristles (white and green, alternating 2 white and 3 green segments, each 30 cm long). The tape is collected in a cylinder-shaped washcloth (FIG. 1), screwed onto a flexible rope rod 3 with a diameter of 6 mm. Attach the bristle tape to the rod by tying its edges using segments of a polypropylene cord with a diameter of 2 mm. The length of the two-tone, consisting of three green and two white strips of washcloth, in finished form - 45 cm, diameter of washcloth - 10 cm. Handles on both sides of a flexible rope rod are attached to the washcloth.

The length of the handles and their number depends on the desire of the consumer.
