Abstract

This invention relates to luminous soap (lightening soap) that comprises a transparent external body inside the soap trunk, an electronic circuit with a motion sensor that is inside the external body and is surrounded by a protection body, an integrated circuit that is placed on the electronic circuit and determines the precision level of the motion sensor and sets the reflection duration, reflection order, reflection interval and reflection number of the LEDs, a battery that enables the operation of the electrical circuit and turns on the LEDs and, by the setting of the integrated circuit, the signal received from the motion sensor triggers the electronic circuit to turn on the LEDs.

Description

DESCRIPTION

LUMINOUS SOAP (LIGHTENING SOAP) Technical Background

This invention relates to ensure luminosity of soaps that are primarily used for washing hands, face and hair at any desired intervals and smoothly during use.

Prior Art

Today, a set of different types, materials, forms, colours, qualities and odour of soaps are manufactured and used in cosmetics and cleaning industries. Especially soap bars and liquid soaps that are intended for washing hands, face and hair have a vital role in personal care and hygiene. Using soap for washing hands and face is a simple, cost-effective and critically important method of protecting individual and social health. As it is crucial that individuals to have the habit of washing hands with soap, parents and teachers endeavour to ensure children make it a habit since childhood. For this purpose, different forms, colours and odours are used in making soap bars (in solid form) in order to attract attention of children. For instance, in the utility model application numbered 2011/03726 and captioned "Happy Soap", there is a sad face on the upper lower of the bar, which leaves it to be the happy face as the soap bar contacts water on the underlying layer.

Even though these soap bars are capable of attracting children's attention to a certain extent, it is still not sufficient. Besides, soaping should be kept up for a certain time when washing hands. A limited time soaping fails to safeguard desired hygiene. Although currently available soaps attract children's attention to a certain extent, they still fail to make sure that soaping time is sufficiently long, and this, in turn, poses difficulties in encouraging children to make a habit of using soap. Objective of Invention

Objective of this invention is to ensure luminosity of the soaps that are used for washing hands and face as a result of a certain force or motion at desired intervals and smoothly. Another objective of this invention is to ensure that the soap bar blinks (radiates) at certain intervals when washing hands, hence making the act of washing hands a fun experience; and to spark children's interest, encouraging them to make a habit of washing their hands .

Another objective of this invention is to encourage children to make a habit of washing their hands, hence help them get disinfected from microbes they are likely to contact when playing in gardens, at parks, at school and for a set of reasons at home, and to eliminate any potential microbial sickness such as pneumonia, flu and diarrhoea.

Another objective of this invention is to encourage children to make a habit of washing their hands, hence to prevent losses (i. e. death, absence from school, treatment expenses etc.) due to communicable disease.

5. Reflector Parts The invention has an external body (2) that can be manufactured from mica or a similar material inside the soap trunk (1). Inside the external body (2), there is an electronic circuit (3) with a motion sensor (3.1 ) surrounded by a protection body (3.1.1 ). The protection body (3.1.1 ) inside the motion sensor (3.1 ) prevents motion sensor (3.1 ) from being interrupted when in use. The electronic circuit (3) is equipped with an integrated circuit (3.2) that determines precision level of the motion sensor. Again, the integrated circuit (3.2) sets light reflection duration, reflection order, reflection interval, and reflection number of the LEDs (3.3) on the electronic circuit. LEDs (3.3) may be used in different numbers on the invention depending on the requirement. The intention is also equipped with a battery (4) used as a power source. Enabling that the electronic circuit (3) operates and LEDs (3.3) reflect light, the battery (4) capacity can be in any desired value depending on the need.

While using the invention, when the users hold the soap trunk (1 ) in their hand and apply a certain pressure onto it or when they move it in a way to trigger the motion sensor (3.1 ), the motion sensor (3.1) signals to the electronic circuit (3), and the electronic circuit (3) is triggered to reflect the LEDs (3.3) through the signal received from the motion sensor (3.1 ). The integrated circuit (3.2) equipped on the invention enables setting precision of the motion sensor (3.1), preventing LEDs (3.3) from staying on redundantly during assembling, transportation, storage, releasing to market, which, in turn, enables that the battery (4) runs on a much longer time. Again, the integrated circuit on the invention enables setting the light reflection duration, reflection order, reflection interval and reflection number of the LEDs (3.3), it paves the ground for different lighting visuals on the one hand and enables the battery runs on a much longer time on the other hand. If desired, reflector parts (5) may be placed on the soap trunk (1) of the invention. In this way, the light from reflection of the LEDs (3.3) will be reflected by the soap trunk (1 ) separately and this will look even more interesting and eye-catching. Reflector parts may be water soluble or not.
