Description

  The present invention relates to a splash suppressor that suppresses splashes of small water and accumulated water when urinating in a Western-style toilet, and a storage container for storing the same.

  Washing methods for flush toilets are a washing-off type that discharges filth only with discharged water, and a siphon type that sucks and discharges filth by filling the pipe with a bent drainage channel and causing a siphon action. Broadly divided. With either method, there is a difference in amount, but the toilet bowl is filled with water.

  When a man urinates, he usually adds it while lifting the toilet seat of a Western style toilet. At this time, splashes of water and urine collected in the toilet bowl are generated, and are splashed around the toilet itself or on the back of the toilet lid and the toilet seat. In particular, in a siphon-type toilet with a large amount of sealed water, splashing during urination has been a major issue in terms of cleaning and hygiene.

  Thus, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a technique for preventing splashing of small water or the like by floating a paper having protrusions and fluff on the surface of the water surface of a Western-style toilet. Patent Document 2 proposes a technique for providing a scattering reduction plate so as to surround the left and right sides of the toilet when the toilet seat is lifted.

  However, in the technique proposed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to make the paper lighter (thin) in order to keep the paper floating while it is used. May break and the desired effect may not be obtained. Moreover, in the technique proposed in Patent Document 2, the structure of the toilet bowl becomes complicated, and the toilet bowl may be enlarged.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and its purpose is to reliably suppress splashes such as small water during urination without complicating and increasing the size of the toilet bowl. It is in providing the splash control tool which can be performed.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a splash suppressor made of a non-woven fabric having water disintegration, which floats on the pool water of a Western-style toilet and suppresses splashes of small water and pooled water. There is provided a splash suppressor characterized by having a bundling portion obtained by bundling the end portions of a sheet of petals. In addition, even if it is a splash suppression tool produced from one nonwoven fabric, the thing in which the several petal-shaped part is formed as a final form is contained in the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention.

  Here, from the viewpoint of further suppressing the occurrence of splashes such as small water during urination, the plurality of petal-like portions are preferably in the form of double flowers.

Further, during the urination, in view to keep the state floating on the water reservoir the splash suppression device, the nonwoven fabric is preferably a basis weight in the range of ^{5g / m 2 ~50g / m 2} .

  And the said nonwoven fabric may contain at least one of a fragrance | flavor and a deodorizer.

  According to the present invention, there is also provided a storage container for storing a plurality of the splash control devices according to any one of the above, comprising a container main body and a cartridge detachably attached to the container main body, The cartridge has an opening for attaching and detaching the cartridge and a take-out port for taking out the splash suppressor, and the cartridge stores a plurality of splash suppressors in a stacked manner so that the binding portions are located on the same axis. The storage container is provided in which the splash suppressing tool is taken out with a bundling portion protruding from the take-out port.

  Here, it is preferable to attach a rubber member to the inner peripheral surface of the take-out port from the viewpoint of surely taking out the splash control tools one by one.

  According to the splash suppressing device of the present invention, it is possible to reliably suppress splashes such as small water during urination without complicating and increasing the size of the toilet bowl.

  Further, according to the storage container of the present invention, a plurality of the splash control devices of the present invention can be efficiently stored and can be easily taken out one by one.

It is a perspective view which shows an example of the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention. It is process drawing which produces the splash suppression tool of FIG. It is process drawing which produces the splash suppression tool of FIG. It is a state figure when a splash control tool is dropped on a siphon type Western style toilet bowl. It is a state figure when a splash control tool is dropped on a wash-off type western toilet. It is a perspective view which shows an example of the storage container which concerns on this invention.

  Hereinafter, although the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail based on figures, this invention is not limited to these embodiment at all.

  In FIG. 1, the perspective view which shows an example of the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention is shown. The splash suppression tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a plurality of petal-like portions 11 that overlap each other in a double flower shape, and a bundling portion 12 that bundles end portions of these petal-like portions 11. This splash suppression tool 1 is produced as follows, for example. FIG.2 and FIG.3 shows the manufacturing process figure of the splash suppression tool 1. FIG.

  First, a plurality of rectangular nonwoven fabrics 10 having water decomposability are overlapped (FIG. 2A). There is no restriction | limiting in the number of the nonwoven fabrics 10 to overlap, What is necessary is just to determine suitably in consideration of the basic weight etc. of the nonwoven fabric 10. Usually, a range of 4 to 10 sheets is preferable. In addition, as above-mentioned, if the several petal-shaped part 11 is formed as a last form, the nonwoven fabric 10 may be one sheet. Moreover, there is no limitation in particular in the magnitude | size and shape of the nonwoven fabric 10, What is necessary is just to determine suitably the magnitude | size of the toilet bowl which throws in the splash suppression tool 1. FIG. Usually, the nonwoven fabric 10 preferably has a rectangular shape with a side length of 8 cm to 25 cm.

The nonwoven fabric 10 having water decomposability used here is not particularly limited as long as the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric 10 are dispersed in water when thrown in water, and conventionally known ones can be used. Not particularly limited basis weight of the nonwoven fabric ^10, but normally a range of 5g / ^{m 2} ~50g / m 2 is preferred. When the basis weight of the nonwoven fabric 10 is less than 5 g / m ² , the strength decreases and it is easily broken during urination, whereas when the basis weight exceeds 50 g / m ² , the water disintegration of the nonwoven fabric 10 decreases, Outflow tends to be worse.

  The nonwoven fabric 10 may contain at least one of a fragrance and a deodorant. In addition, conventionally known additives such as antibacterial agents, bactericides, and antifouling agents may be included as necessary.

  Next, the overlapped nonwoven fabric 10 is repeatedly folded into a bellows shape at a predetermined interval, and folded into a bellows shape (FIG. 2B). Although there is no particular limitation on the interval between the mountain fold and the valley fold, usually, the interval of about 10 mm to 20 mm is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing the scattering of small water or the like.

  And the compression part 13 is formed by pressing the ridgeline direction center part of the nonwoven fabric bent in the shape of a bellows (FIG.2 (c)). And in the longitudinal direction center of the compression part 13, the nonwoven fabric 10 is folded in half, Then, the band-shaped nonwoven fabric 14 which has water-decomposability is wound around the compression part 13 folded in half, and the binding part 12 is formed (FIG. 2 ( d)). In addition, without winding the belt-shaped nonwoven fabric 14, it does not matter as a matter of course that the folded portions are bonded together with an adhesive to form the binding portion 12.

  Next, the accordion-like portions at both ends of the folded nonwoven fabric 10 are twisted by about 90 degrees, and the overlapped accordion-like nonwoven fabrics 10 are spread outward so as to leave each other (FIG. 3 (e)). And the edge part of the nonwoven fabric 10 is made into a double flower shape, and it is set as the splash inhibitor 1 of this invention (FIG.3 (f)). The maximum diameter of the splash suppressor 1 in the form of double flowers may be a length that covers most of the water surface of the water in the toilet bowl, and is usually preferably about 10 cm to 15 cm.

  In the embodiment described above, a plurality of rectangular nonwoven fabrics 10 are overlapped and folded into a bellows shape, and then folded into two to widen both ends to form the splash suppression device of the present invention. A plurality of non-woven fabrics may be prepared, and one end thereof may be bundled to fix a band-like member or an adhesive, and the other end may be spread outwardly to form an eight-fold flower shape.

  The usage example of the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention is demonstrated. A storage container in which a plurality of the splash control devices of the present invention are stored is installed at a position that can be reached by a man standing in front of the toilet. The storage will be described later. Before a man adds, he removes the splash control tool from the storage container, spreads the petal-shaped part 11 outward as necessary, and then drops it into the toilet water with the binding part 12 facing down.

  FIG. 4 shows a state diagram when the splash suppression device 1 is dropped on a siphon type Western toilet with a large amount of accumulated water. As understood from this figure, the bundling portion 12 having a specific gravity greater than that of the petal-like portion 11 sinks below the water surface, and the petal-like portion 11 floats on the water surface. And it urinates toward the petal-like part 11 of the splash suppression tool 1. The momentum of the released small water is weakened by the petal-like portion 11 of the splash suppression device 1, and the generation of splashes of the small water and the accumulated water W is effectively suppressed. In addition, since a plurality of the petal-like portions 11 are overlapped, even if a part of the petal-like portion 11 is broken by small water, the other petal-like portions 11 suppress the ripples and splashes of the water W. Moreover, since the binding part 12 located in the center lower part of the petal-like part 11 plays the role of a weight, even if a small water hits the petal-like part 11, the splash suppression tool 1 does not move greatly. In order to further suppress the movement of the splash suppression device 1 due to small water, the bundling portion 12 is lengthened in the vertical direction or the diameter of the petal-like portion 11 is increased so that a part of the splash suppression device 1 is placed on the inner peripheral wall of the toilet bowl. You may make it contact.

  When the pooled water W is flowed after urination, the splash suppression tool 1 is poured out together with the pooled water W. Since the splash suppressing device 1 of the present invention has water decomposability, it does not break down into fibers when clogged with the accumulated water W and clog the water distribution pipe or the like.

  The figure at the time of dropping a splash suppression tool in the wash-off type western-style toilet is shown in FIG. Since the wash-off type western toilet has a smaller amount of accumulated water W than the siphon type western toilet, the maximum diameter of the splash suppression device 1 is reduced, that is, the amount of the petal-like portion 11 that is spread outward is reduced. It is desirable to use it in such a way that it is indented or inward. After urination, the splash suppression device 1 is washed out by the water discharged into the toilet bowl and decomposes into fibers when it flows out. Other usage methods and effects are the same as those of the siphon type Western toilet described above.

  In FIG. 6, an example of the container which accommodates the splash suppression tool which concerns on this invention is shown. The storage container 3 of FIG. 6 includes a cylindrical container body 4 and a cylindrical cartridge 5 that is detachable from the container body 4. As shown in FIG. 6A, an opening 41 for attaching and detaching the cartridge 5 is formed on the upper surface of the container body 4, and an outlet 42 for pulling out the splash suppression device 1 is formed on the bottom surface. Yes. A rubber member 43 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the take-out port 42. On the other hand, in the cartridge 5, a plurality of splash suppression devices 1 are stored in a stacked state, and the binding portion 12 of the lowest splash suppression device 1 protrudes from the front end opening 51 of the cartridge 5.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when the cartridge 5 is mounted on the container body 4, the bundling portion 12 of the lowermost splash suppression tool 1 protruding from the tip opening 51 of the cartridge 5 passes through the outlet 42 of the container body 4. Will also protrude. When taking out the splash suppression device 1 from the storage container 3, the splash suppression device 1 is pulled out with the bundling portion 12 protruding from the take-out port 42. At this time, the rubber member 43 provided in the take-out port 42 of the container main body 4 prevents only the lowermost splash suppressor 1 from being pulled out and prevents a plurality of splash suppressors 1 from being pulled out from the storage container 3 at one time. Is done. When the splash suppression tool 1 disappears in the cartridge 5, the cartridge 5 is taken out from the container body 4 and replaced with a new cartridge 5.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the splash suppressing device of the present invention, it is possible to reliably suppress splashes such as small water during urination without complicating and increasing the size of the toilet bowl.
