Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a cleaning container for flush toilets, and particularly to a cleaning agent container for flush toilets of the type that is located above the tank of the flush toilet.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, in the case of cleaning agent containers for flush toilets, which are used to clean the inside of the toilet bowl and to create a pleasant fragrance in the room, When a container filled with a cleaning agent or an aromatic agent is placed inside the tank, and water is stored in the tank, the cleaning agent and the aromatic agent are dissolved by soaking in this water. In addition to cleaning the toilet bowl, it also emits the scent of an air freshener into the room, but for toilets like this that are placed inside the tank, the first thing to do when placing it inside the tank is to After removing the top lid of the tank, place it inside the tank, and then set the tank lid to complete the installation process, which reduces the amount of cleaning agent and fragrance inside the container as it is used. In this case, the container inside the tank is replaced, but even in this case, it is necessary to remove the top lid of the tank, which makes the installation and replacement work complicated. had.

And in order to solve these problems,
In recent years, water is placed between the water supply and the faucet at the top of the tank, and before it flows into the tank, the water passes between the cleaning agent and the aromatic agent to dissolve the cleaning agent and the aromatic agent. There are some types of water that are stored inside a tank, but in such a case, a bowl-shaped container with an open top is placed inside a pair of upper and lower cases through which the water can pass. The inside of the bowl-shaped container is filled with a mixture of cleaning agent and aromatic agent, and placed in the container.However, since the top surface of the bowl-shaped container is sealed, the seal must first be peeled off before the top and bottom can be placed. The faucet is located inside a pair of cases, and water from the faucet falls into a bowl-shaped container inside the cases, so that when water is not flowing out. Water accumulates inside the bowl-shaped container, which causes the drug to dissolve too much and become mushy.
This has the problem that the amount of the drug dissolved in the water stored inside the tank changes, or the drug adheres to the inside of the tank, etc. This method has the problem of being complicated because it requires removing the material sealing the top surface of the shaped container.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional method; it eliminates the need to open the top of the container, and also allows the drug inside the container to always be in a constant state of dissolution. This prevents the medicine itself from turning into a mushy state.Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the medicine itself from turning into a mushy state.Furthermore, it is possible to use the sound-reducing type of tank that has been used in recent years, that is, by placing a mesh-like material at the water inlet to the tank To provide a cleaning container for a flush toilet which can prevent the mesh-like material from clogging even when used in a tank designed to reduce the impact sound of water.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the problems of the conventional methods as described above, this invention forms a base material by impregnating and coating a water-permeable sheet material with a water-soluble substance,
A part of the base material is bulged to form a bulge, and the inside of this bulge is filled with a cleaning agent and solidified, and the edge of the bulge of the base material is made water permeable. This method employs a method in which the inside of the bulge is sealed by providing a film or sheet-like material without a bulge.

[Effect]

By adopting the above-mentioned means, this invention
Just by positioning yourself in the area where the water from the faucet falls, you can be sure that the water will reach the cleaning agent and dissolve it, and there is no risk of water accumulating inside the container, so the agent can be removed. It should not dissolve in water and turn into a mushy state, and also ensure that volatile chemicals such as fragrances inside the cleaning agent are prevented from volatilizing by water-soluble substances before use. Moreover, since water-soluble substances dissolve finely when water is poured into the tank, there is no risk of clogging of the mesh part even if the tank is of a noise-reducing type.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of this invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows a cleaning agent container for a flush toilet according to this invention. It consists of a water-soluble substance 3.

When constructing the above-mentioned base material 1, first, the water-soluble substance 3 is poured onto the upper surface of the base, the water-permeable sheet 2 is placed on the upper surface, and a pressure roller is applied from above the water-permeable sheet 2. By applying pressure using the water-permeable sheet 2, the water-soluble substance 3 is impregnated and coated inside the mesh of the water-permeable sheet 2, thereby forming the base material 1 constituting the container.

Next, the base material 1 configured as described above is deep drawn so that a portion of the base material 1 bulges upward to form a bulged portion 1a to form a bowl shape.

Then, the bulging portion 1a formed by deep drawing is filled with a cleaning agent 5 mixed with a surfactant, fragrance, pigment, bactericide, etc., but this cleaning agent is in a liquid state. First, the base material 1 is placed with the bulge portion 1a facing down, and a cleaning agent is filled inside the base material 1. A flat transparent film 4 is placed on the upper surface of the base material 1, and the bulge portion 1a is placed on the base material 1. It is integrally constructed by heat-sealing the peripheral edge of the. Therefore, the cleaning agent 5 solidifies inside the bulge portion 1a of the base material 1, thereby completing a cleaning container for a flush toilet in which the interior is filled with the cleaning agent.

Furthermore, in forming the above-mentioned base material 1, the inventor of this invention took the following into consideration.

In other words, when filling the inside of the container with the cleaning agent, since the agent to be filled is in liquid form,
There should be no leakage from the base material during filling, and when filling is completed, fragrances etc. should not volatilize through the water-permeable sheet when not in use because the drug contains volatile substances such as fragrances. The following conditions were taken into consideration: when using the product, it must be opened by immersing it in water, and that the dissolved material would not clog mesh-like objects such as sound-reducing toilets.

As a result, the base material 1 has the above structure, and among the constituent materials of the base material 1, a nonwoven fabric is used as the water-permeable sheet 2, and as the water-soluble material 3, polyacrylic acid soda is used. , polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, sizing agents such as starch, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids,
Surfactants such as ethylene oxide adducts of higher alcohols, polyethylene glycol, etc. can be used, and the above examples also prevent changes in water solubility and discoloration due to heat and time, as well as cleaning agents. In consideration of dissolution due to heat during filling, sodium polyacrylate and polyvinyl alcohol are preferable.

The cleaning agent container is formed as described above, and when the cleaning agent inside is to be oozed out, the flat transparent film 4 is placed in the lower position, and the base material 1
When a faucet is placed on the top surface and water is allowed to fall, the water absorbs the water-soluble substance 3 that is impregnated into the inside and side surfaces of the water-permeable sheet 2 made of non-woven fabric constituting the base material 1. is dissolved, and as a result, it falls from the faucet through the water-permeable sheet 2 and reaches the cleaning agent 5 filled with water, and the cleaning agent 5
dissolve.

Therefore, the cleaning agent can be dissolved without requiring the work of opening the top surface of the container as in conventional containers.

Then, as water is poured from the faucet one after another, the water in which the cleaning agent has been dissolved reaches the cleaning agent and then flows out from the inside of the container, and the cleaning agent also flows out together with this flowing water. As a result,
This will be stored inside the flush toilet tank.

In this case, since the cleaning agent is placed in a bowl shape on the top surface of the flat transparent film 4, the cleaning agent will not be present even when water is stopped being poured from the faucet, for example. There is no risk of being submerged in water, and therefore, there is no chance of the cleaning agent becoming mushy and dissolved, so the cleaning agent will not stick to the top or inside of the flush toilet tank. There is no fear that this will happen.

In the above embodiments, the transparent film 4 which is not water permeable is used as the film or sheet material which is not water permeable, but it does not need to be transparent.

Further, when the above-mentioned flush toilet cleaning agent container is used by being housed in a decorative case, it should be of a size and shape that can be housed inside the case as described below.

That is, FIGS. 2 to 4 show a case for storing the flush toilet cleaning agent container and the state in which the container is stored. First, the case 6 has a water droplet shape as a whole when viewed from above. In addition, protrusions 7 that protrude inward are provided at multiple locations (three locations in the embodiment) slightly inwardly of the edge 6a that curves into a semi-cylindrical shape and opens, and a plurality of slits 8 are provided on the top surface. Water falling from above passes through the case and falls downward.

Two legs 9, 9 projecting downward and one protrusion 10 are integrally provided on the opening edge 6a, and a suction cup 11 is fitted into the protrusion 1-.

When storing the flush toilet cleaning agent container inside the case 6 configured as described above,
First, one of the edges of the transparent film 4 is placed on the protrusion 7 protruding from the inner surface of the case 6 so that the cleaning agent filled inside is positioned upwardly, that is, with the transparent film 4 facing down. located above the
If the other portions of the edges are then pressed upward, the other portions of the edges will get over the protrusions 7 and the flush toilet cleaning agent container will be positioned above the protrusions 7.

In this case, since the projections 7 have different lengths (in the circumferential direction of the opening), first place the transparent film 4 on the top of the longest projection, and then push up the other parts. The flush toilet cleaning agent container can be easily placed above the projection 7, that is, inside the case 6.

After positioning the flush toilet cleaning agent container inside the case 6 as described above, the case 6 is set at the position where the water from the faucet falls, and at this time, the suction cup 11 is used to adsorb it to the top surface of the tank and the water is removed. Make sure not to
With this position, the falling water will surely reach the inside of the case 6 through the slit 8 and dissolve the water-soluble substance 3 that was clogging the nonwoven fabric that is the water-permeable sheet 2. The water passes through the water-permeable sheet 2 and reaches the cleaning agent 5, dissolves the cleaning agent, and the water containing the cleaning agent is stored inside the tank of the flush toilet.

This makes it possible to exert a cleaning effect on the toilet bowl each time the water is flushed into the flush toilet, and also to create a fragrant aroma of the air freshener in the room.

When the cleaning agent runs out, it is replaced with a new flush toilet cleaning agent container that is filled with cleaning agent inside, but the first thing to do is to take out the container that has run out of cleaning agent. It can be easily taken out by pulling out the part of the transparent film 4 corresponding to the shortest protrusion 7, and then a new flush toilet cleaning agent container is installed in the same manner as described above.

[Effect of idea]

By configuring this idea as described above,
There is no need to open the top of the container, and the cleaning agent filled inside the container can be oozed out simply by placing it in the position where the water from the faucet falls. Since water does not accumulate inside the tank, the cleaning agent does not dissolve more than necessary and become mushy, so it is always dissolved in the water stored inside the tank. The amount of the chemical is almost constant, and it is possible to exert a toilet bowl cleaning effect and an aromatic effect.Furthermore, by using a water-soluble substance as a filler for the water-permeable sheet, the inside of the holes in the water-permeable sheet is The surface is impregnated with a water-soluble substance, and air is prevented from entering the interior before it is immersed in water. Not only does it prevent the possibility of volatile chemicals from evaporating, but water-soluble substances dissolve immediately when immersed in water, and furthermore, the dissolved water-soluble substances are dissolved in a very fine state, making it a noise-reducing type. This has excellent effects such as there is no risk of clogging even in small tanks.
