・ It relates to the structure of the floating body for purifying water used for eating and drinking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a purification device is attached to a faucet part of a water supply to purify drinking water.

[0003]

However, it has been troublesome to attach / remove it, and to maintain / inspect it.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and is characterized by a floating body that floats in water, and the upper part of the floating body has buoyancy. A floating body, a lower part of the floating body is a water-permeable body that is made to come into close contact with the water-permeable body, and a filler for purifying water into a space formed between the floating body and the water-permeable body. It is made by filling an appropriate amount.

[0005]

The filler enclosed by the water permeable body purifies the water while receiving the supply of water from the outside through the water permeable body. The purified water is discharged from the inside of the permeable body to the outside. By the way, the water-permeable body and the filler that contain water in the above-mentioned purification tend to sink due to its own weight, but can float in the water while being balanced with the buoyancy of the floating body in the upper part. Furthermore, the movement of the filler while repeatedly rising and lowering with the flow of water that is forcibly generated has the effect of enhancing the purification action.

[0006]

[Embodiment] A specific example in which a floating body is immersed in tap water filled in a domestic electric pot to purify the tap water.
Will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage state of the floating body 1,
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cut end view of the floating body 1. The structure of the floating body 1 is an inverted petri dish-shaped floating body 3, and an inverted conical water-permeable body 4 having one end bonded to the floating body 3. The floating body 3 and the water-permeable body 4 are filled with a filling 5 filled in the internal space. The floating body 3 is a molded plastic product having a diameter of 50.
mm, height is 10 mm. The floating body 3 is provided with a space portion inside, and the space portion functions as a gas reservoir 6 for containing a gas such as air in order to obtain buoyancy.

The water-permeable body 4 is made of a non-woven fabric through which water is easily transmitted, is formed in an inverted conical shape, and is provided with a fold line in a bellows-like shape that can expand and contract.

The filling 5 is filled in the inner space of the floating body 3 and the water permeable body 4, and the filling amount is about half the volume of the inner space of the water permeable body 4. The filling is preferably made by crushing and pulverizing the rice husks, and using the rice husk briquette made by carbonizing this, crushed to 1 mm to 3 mm and granulated.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a storage state in which the floating body 1 is packaged, and it is extremely compact by using the space portion serving as a gas reservoir in FIG. 2 as a storage place for the filling material 5. It has been made possible for various packaging.

[0011]

The buoyancy of the floating body 3 is equal to the total weight of the floating body 1 when immersed in tap water.
The floating body 1 can freely float in the tap water 2 in the electric pot because the amount of water is adjusted. Therefore, it freely moves in the container in accordance with the forced reflux caused by boiling. By this movement, the tap water 2 is efficiently supplied to the inside of the permeable body 4, and chlorine, trihalomethane contained in the tap water 4,
The filler 5 is removed and the like is discharged again to the outside of the water permeable body 4 to purify the water. The degree of purification is
It is proportional to the time the float is immersed in tap water.

[0012]

[Other Embodiments] FIG. 4 shows a floating body in a donut shape, which is excellent in that it can be easily taken out from water.

In FIG. 5, a sphere 7 having buoyancy is connected to a lid 9 by a string 8 to form a buoyant body 3B, and a hemispherical water-permeable body 4B and the floating body 3B are bonded to a lower portion of the lid. The structure of the floating body 1B that has been brought into close contact with is shown. The lid 9 in the present example may be a unglazed disc and is excellent in that it allows water to pass through, like the water permeable body 4B. Therefore, the filler 5B filled in the internal space can be sufficiently supplied with water from the outside, and the purification of water is further promoted. The present embodiment can be used as a structure of an aquarium for ornamental fish, which has a particularly visually attractive structure.

The shape of the floating body 3 is not limited to the inverted petri dish shape, but may be another geometrical three-dimensional shape such as a spherical shape or a polygonal column, as long as the structure has a desired buoyancy.

Further, the water-permeable body may be any one having a function of allowing water to pass therethrough and preventing the outflow of the filling material filled therein, and may be, for example, a net, a cloth, a sash, and the like.

The floating body and the water-permeable body may be formed integrally with an adhesive or the like, or may be, for example, a screwing means, a locking means utilizing elastic force, or the like, that is, a structure having a divided structure in close contact. Good.

As the filler, in addition to the rice husk briquette, for example, charcoal obtained by carbonizing plant material, charcoal, activated carbon obtained by activating these charcoal, ceramics, or the like can be used.

[0018]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION From the beginning, tap water is usually added with chlorine (calcium) as a scavenger in the purification process, and neither smell nor taste is preferable as drinking water. It is also known that this chlorine produces trihalomethane, which is a carcinogen, and it is necessary to remove harmful substances such as chlorine before eating and drinking.
The present invention pays attention to the fact that the purification of drinking water is extremely important, and has a remarkable effect that it can be easily used by anyone and anywhere.
