Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a sponge filled with detergent powder used for washing hands and faces.

(Prior art and its problems) As shown in FIG. 3, a soap-filled sponge in which a bar of soap 5 is housed in a thick rectangular sponge has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 49-98255).

When the soap-filled sponge is used up and the soap is consumed, it can be replenished with bar soap 5 through an opening 4 provided in the sponge. However, in order to prevent soap from flying out from the opening 4 of the sponge during use,
It is necessary to attach a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) to the opening 4 so that it can be opened and closed, which increases costs.

Also, even if you place the sponge on the drainer basket after use, the soap covered by the sponge will not dry, and the soap slime will constantly soak into the sponge, causing discomfort the next time you use it. be.

Furthermore, since the sponge has a large amount of friction with the skin, there is a problem in that if the skin is strongly rubbed with the sponge, the skin will turn red.
To protect your skin, avoid rubbing your skin directly with a sponge when washing your face.

The present invention reveals a powder detergent-filled sponge that can solve the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The detergent powder encapsulated sponge of the present invention is formed into a substantially spherical shape that can be wrapped in the palm of the hand using a water-permeable elastic member, and has a powder detergent 2 encapsulated inside.
Dense, short flocking 3 is applied to the entire surface.

(Operation and Effect) Wet the sponge 1 containing powdered detergent in water, or rub the sponge 1 with wet hands in a kneading motion.

Powdered detergent 2 in sponge 1 dissolves in water and foams.
The dirt on the hands is effectively removed by the friction between the sponge 1 and the hands.

Since the sponge 1 is large enough to be wrapped in the palm of your hand, when you hold the sponge 1 between your hands and rub them together, the sponge 1 will not fly out from between your hands; Even if the sponge 1 is immersed in water in a washbasin bowl, the sponge 1 does not sink in the water like the bar soap 5, but floats on the water surface, so it can be found immediately.

The sponge 1 is formed into a roughly spherical shape, and the surface is covered with short, dense hair flocking 3, which is gentle on the skin.When you apply the sponge 1 to your face and rub it while pressing the sponge 1 with the palm of your hand, the sponge 1 will roll. It moves over the skin, allowing you to wash your face without damaging your skin.

After use, the sponge 1 is held in the palm of the hand, thoroughly drained, and then air-dried. The sponge 1 is small and dries in a much shorter time than conventional sponges filled with bar soap, and there is no discomfort caused by the slime of the bar soap 5 staining the sponge.

Most of Powder Detergent 2 is washed away during the first use, so when used for the second time, the foaming will be poor, but
Available for use.

(Example) The sponge 1 is made of a water-permeable foamed elastic synthetic resin material such as foamed polyurethane, and has an outer diameter of 20 to 50 mm and an inner diameter of 10 to 30 mm.
It is formed into a substantially spherical shape with a wall thickness of 5 to 10 mm.

The surface of the substantially spherical sponge 1 is densely and shortly flocked 3 over the entire surface by a known electrostatic flocking method, giving the sponge a velvet-like appearance.

Powdered detergent 2 is adhered to the spherical wall surface of the sponge 1 in a layered manner.

As shown in FIG. 2, the powdered detergent-filled sponge 1 is made by joining a pair of hemispherical sponges 11 and 12 to form a sphere, and then applying flocking 3 to the surface.

Next, the tip of a syringe with a needle removed or a thick needle is penetrated through the thickness of the sponge 1, and an appropriate amount of detergent powder 2 is supplied into the sponge 1 with the syringe.

When the sponge 1 is packed in a box or transported, the detergent powder 2 inside the sponge 1 adheres to the inner wall of the sponge 1 in a layered manner.

Then, wet the sponge 1 containing the detergent powder 2 with water, or rub the sponge 1 with wet hands in a kneading motion.

Powdered detergent 2 in sponge 1 dissolves in water and foams.
The dirt on the hands is effectively removed by the friction between the sponge 1 and the hands.

Since the sponge 1 is large enough to be wrapped in the palm of your hand, when you hold the sponge 1 between your hands and rub them together, the sponge 1 will not pop out from between your hands. Even if it jumps out and soaks in the water in the wash basin, sponge
Unlike bar soap 5, it does not sink in water, but floats on the water surface, so it can be easily found.

The sponge 1 is formed into a substantially spherical shape, and the surface is covered with flocked hair 3.
is applied and is gentle on the skin, so when the sponge 1 is placed on the face and rubbed while pressing the sponge 1 with the palm of the hand, the sponge 1 rolls over the skin and the face can be washed without damaging the skin.

After use, the sponge 1 is held between the palms of the hands, thoroughly drained, and then air-dried. The sponge 1 is small and dries in a much shorter time than the conventional sponge 1 with bar soap sealed inside, and there is no discomfort caused by the slime peculiar to the bar soap 5 soaking into the sponge 1.

Most of Powder Detergent 2 is washed away during the first use, so when used for the second time, the foaming will be poor, but
Available for use.

Even if it is disposable for one-time use, it is more convenient than ever for hotels,
It is comparable in cost to the disposable small bar soaps provided at inns.

In addition, when implementing the present invention, it is also possible to enclose powdered cosmetic detergent inside the sponge and use it exclusively for face washing.
In addition, various modifications are possible within the scope of the utility model registration claims, such as making the appearance of the sponge 1 resemble fruits such as apples, peaches, and cherries to improve aesthetics and arouse interest.
