Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a solid soap so designed that a recess to attach used and worn solid soap is provided on part of the surface, thereby preventing the worn soap from needless disposal and attaching said soap in high integrity leading to convenient use to the last. CONSTITUTION:A worn soap S2 is superposed on a unused solid soap S1 with a recess 12 so as to be fitted into the recess 12 followed by mutually pushing the both soaps to effect attachment. As said recess 12 is formed by a smooth concave surface, the contact area between the convex surface of the worn soap S2 and the concave surface of the recess 12 can sufficiently be secured, thereby effecting stable location of the worn soap S2 attached and giving firm adhesiveness between both the soaps S1 and S2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to improvements in solid soaps used as cleaning agents during bathing, washing, etc.

Conventional technology Bar soap is manufactured by coagulating intangible raw materials such as fatty acids, caustic soda, and some other flavoring agents in a mold of arbitrary shape, so there are essentially no restrictions on its shape or size. It's something you don't do. However, since bar soap is usually held in the palm of the hand when taking a bath, washing, etc., it is required to be of a convenient size that is easy to hold.

As a result, bar soaps come in a wide variety of shapes, but even if there are some differences in size, they are generally small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

According to the general size of such bar soap, the problem to be solved by the invention is as follows.
Housewives are well aware that when a household with an average family size uses a toilet for washing or bathing, the appliance wears out in an unexpectedly short amount of time. Therefore, used bar soap (hereinafter referred to as "consumed soap") is either discarded without being completely used up, or is pasted on the surface of new, unused bar soap (hereinafter referred to as "unused soap"). It will be used with the attached.

However, since bar soap is originally formed into a size that can fit in the palm of your hand, the ratio of worn-out soap to unused soap that is disposed of cannot be overlooked. Furthermore, even when used soap is attached to unused soap, the surface of unused soap is generally convex, and the surface of consumable soap is also convex. Even if they are stacked and pressed together, it is difficult for them to get along with each other due to their shapes, especially when the used soap is still relatively large. It's not easy.

In addition, even if the depleted soap absorbs enough water and becomes soft and adapts well to the surface shape of the unused soap, the adhesion between the two may not be sufficient, and the adhering depleted soap may Since they protrude from the surface, the two parts are often easily separated during use.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a recessed part on the surface of a bar of soap, and to make it possible to fit the depleted soap into the recessed part and use it, thereby preventing waste due to disposal of the depleted soap, and also to prevent waste due to disposal of the depleted soap. When combined together, the object is to provide a solid soap that can effectively prevent peeling during use due to its strong adhesive force.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve this object, the present invention has a gist in that a recessed portion for adhering depleted soap is formed in a part of the surface of the bar soap.

The recessed portion may be formed by a smooth concave surface, and the peripheral edge of the recessed portion may be provided with a contact surface for preventing the attached consumable soap from falling off. may have an uneven surface.

In this structure, since the solid soap has a recessed part on a part of its surface to which the depleted soap is attached, the depleted soap is pressed against this recessed part. This allows the used soap to easily adhere to the unused soap. In addition, the adhesion of the two will result in filling the depressed parts of the unused soap with the depleted soap, so the overall shape of the two combined by adhesion is excellent in integrity, and the depleted soap is the same as the unused soap. It does not protrude significantly on the surface, and therefore,
It does not peel off easily even when subjected to external action that would cause the two to peel off.

In addition, those in which the depression is formed by a smooth concave surface,
As the soap wears out, the contact area with the worn-out soap, which has a smooth convex surface, becomes thicker.
The depleted soap sits well on the depressed areas and exhibits good adhesion.

In addition, if the periphery of the sunken part has a contact surface to prevent it from falling off, even if the worn-out soap is not completely attached to the unused soap, the contact between the worn-out soap and the contact surface of the sunken part will prevent the sunken soap from falling. It is possible to prevent worn-out soap from falling off from the container.

Furthermore, if the concave part has an uneven surface, if worn-out soap that has absorbed moisture and softened during use is pressed against the uneven surface, a part of it will dig into the uneven surface, so that both of them will be -
The layer exhibits strong adhesion.

It works as described above.

Example Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The solid soap Sl has a depressed portion 12 formed on its upper surface 11 to which the depleted soap S2 is attached (FIG. 1).

The depressed portion 12 is formed on the upper surface 1 of the bar soap Sl so as to form a contour 12a that is substantially similar to the contour of the unused bar soap Sl.
1, and is formed by a smoothly continuous concave surface 12b that deepens from the contour 12a toward the center. In addition, the size and depth of the contour 12a of the depressed portion 12 are determined by considering the size and thickness of the worn-out soap S2, which has been reduced to a size that seems difficult to use through use, and is determined to be approximately equivalent to the It has a size and depth.

Unused solid soap Sl having such a depressed portion 12
The attachment of the depleted soap S2 can be carried out by fitting the depleted soap S2 into the recessed portion 12 of the solid soap Sl and pressing the two together (FIG. 2).

Because the depressed portion 12 is formed by a smooth concave surface, even when the depleted soap S2 is relatively large (see Fig.
A)) Even when the area is relatively small ((B) in the same figure), a sufficient contact area between the convex surface of the depleted soap S2 and the concave depressed portion 12 is ensured, so that the adhered depleted soap is removed. Soap S2 has a good grip and both exhibit good adhesion.

The adhesion of the two results in filling the depressed portion 12 of the solid soap Sl with the depleted soap S2, so that the two adhered together form a shape with excellent integrity as a whole, and the towel T
It is difficult to remove the attached depleted soap even when rubbed with something like this (Fig. 2 (A)). In addition, when the attached depleted soap S2 is large enough to be completely buried in the recessed portion 12 (see Figure (B)), the solid soap S1 to which it is attached will be depleted earlier during use. Eventually, it will become a unified shape, so the attached depleted soap S2,
Peeling under normal usage conditions can be almost completely eliminated.

Another embodiment of the solid soap Sl has a contact surface 12 on the periphery of the recessed part 12.
c (Fig. 3). The contact surface 12c is a surface that forms an angle close to a right angle with respect to the bottom surface 12d of the recessed portion 12.

This contact surface 12c only needs to be steep at an angle close to a right angle, and may be inclined either inward or outward of the solid soap Sl. Since the contact surface 12c can prevent the depleted soap S2 fitted into the recessed portion 12 from falling off, the depleted soap S2 can be easily peeled off even if it is used while the adhesion state of the depleted soap S2 is not yet sufficient. Never. Therefore, the depleted soap S2 is
Even when the size is such that it slides within the depression 12, it can be used conveniently (as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4).

The depressed portion 12 of the solid soap Sl may include an uneven surface 12e. The uneven surface 12e is the depressed portion 12

It can be obtained in the same way when g... is formed.

In this way, the reason why the depressed portion 12 is made into the uneven surface 12e is as follows.
Since the purpose is to increase the adhesion of the two by making the attached solid soap S1 bite into the attached solid soap S1, the shape of the unevenness formed in the depressed portion 12 is as follows: spherical concave portions 12f, 12f ... or groove 12

As described in detail, according to the present invention, by providing a depressed portion on a part of the surface of a bar of soap, it is extremely easy to apply depleted soap to the depressed portion of unused soap. This prevents wasteful disposal of the depleted soap and makes it possible to form a highly integrated shape after adhesion, so that the two do not easily peel off during use. Use bar soap without wasting it.
It has an excellent effect of being able to be used conveniently until the end.
