Description

  The present invention relates to a detergent foaming tool typified by liquid or powdered soap, and particularly relates to a facial cleansing foaming tool.

  In recent years, various detergents such as body soaps, shampoos, and facial cleansers have been developed, but all of them require good foaming, and body soaps can be worn with hand towels and sponges. Rubbing to make it foam.

  On the other hand, how to use facial cleanser, simply take an appropriate amount of cleansing solution in the palm of your hand, foam it in your palm, and apply this to your face. Depending on the case, the face-washing raw material may flow down. As described above, it is necessary to sufficiently foam the facial cleansing solution in the palm of the face, but no simple lathering tool has been developed so far, and practical lathering tools are provided here. It was desired.

  Hereinafter, the foaming device of the present invention will be described on behalf of a facial foaming device, but many proposals have been made on facial foaming devices, such as a flexible urethane foam having a three-dimensional skeleton structure with the foam cell membrane removed. There is a proposal of a lathering tool that is a solid that fits in the palm of your hand (Patent Document 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 3108193

However, in all of the proposals, the flexible urethane foam used for foaming is only in the form of a block, and for the purpose of foaming, only a porous foam body is used. It is not something that has been devised.
Therefore, for the purpose of foaming, a sufficient amount of time is required, and the detergent is wasted because a foaming operation such as squeezing the foam body before the detergent sufficiently penetrates into the foam is performed.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and provides a cleaning tool having a very high foaming ability as a foaming tool. In particular, the present invention provides a simple foaming tool for a facial cleansing stock solution during face washing. Is.

  The foaming tool of the present invention is a foaming tool in which the central portion of the flexible urethane foam plate is tied with a string and the string is used as a hanging part, and the flexible urethane foam plate has a thickness of 5 to 30 mm. , Leaving a central portion of the plate, forming a slit in which a gap is formed almost uniformly toward the periphery of the plate from the central portion, and tie the central portion of the flexible urethane foam plate with a string, Twist the central part of the flexible urethane foam plate, keep it in the same state and wrap it with a flexible net with a bottom, extend the string from the flexible net, and form the hanging part with this string It is characterized by that.

  Preferably, it is a foaming tool in which the central portion of the flexible urethane foam plate is twisted by 1/4 to 2 rotations. In some cases, a plurality of flexible urethane foam plates may be laminated. . Particularly preferred is a foaming tool in which a flexible urethane foam having a twisted center is wrapped around the flexible net with a bottom and tied to the flexible net, and then the flexible net is turned over.

  The present invention is as described above, and the facial cleanser can be quickly and completely foamed. And the member which comprises the foaming tool of this invention is basically three members, for example, this is sold as a set, and the purchaser also brings the fun of assembling this.

  The greatest feature of the present invention is that the foam plate that forms the central structure of the foaming tool is cut into a special shape, and this has a very voluminous structure. Take out the required amount of cleansing solution from a container, etc., transfer it to a lather, lightly rub it with the palm of your hand, and the cleansing solution will foam immediately and sufficiently. The face can be washed.

  That is, the flexible urethane foam plate used is a single layer or a plurality of layers, and the slit is formed from almost the center of the plate toward the four sides. Preferably, the slit is formed with a regular gap. It is a thing. Then, the central part of the plate is tied with a string body, and preferably in a twisted state, the plate spreads so that the petals open, and the face wash is quickly absorbed into the foam by forming a slit. In addition, by bubbling this, the foaming and the flow of foam are extremely improved.

  The cell surface of the flexible urethane foam plate is completely exposed, but if the torsion is applied to it, the cells on the contact surface of the plate can bite into each other and almost maintain this state. In this way, it can be kept in this state.

  In the present invention, the soft urethane foam preferably has a three-dimensional skeleton structure from which the foam cell film has been removed. When the number of foam cells is 6 to 50 / inch, preferably 10 to 25 / inch and the number of foam cells is too large, the foam breakage is deteriorated. Will be easy to flow down.

  The soft urethane foam is a foaming tool in which the flexible urethane foam is wrapped with a flexible net and the flexible net is fixed to a string, and is twisted with a flexible net with a bottom. It wraps around.

  As an example of the flexible net, various materials having air permeability and water permeability can be used, for example, woven fabric and non-woven fabric, and the fabric is natural fiber (cotton, wool, silk, etc.), semi-synthetic fiber ( And rayon, acetate, etc.) and synthetic fibers (polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, nylon fiber, vinylon fiber, etc.). Further, the fabric may be a towel fabric, a pile fabric or the like.

  The foam generated in the foam body can further form a finer, almost uniform foam by passing through a small hole in the flexible net.

Hereafter, it demonstrates still in detail with the suitable example of the foaming tool for face washing of this invention.
FIG. 1 shows members constituting the foaming tool of the present invention, wherein 10 is a soft urethane foam plate, 20 is a string body, and 30 is a bottomed flexible net. A flexible urethane foam (30 cells / inch) 10 is basically an elliptical shape having a major axis of 10 cm and a minor axis of 8 cm, and its thickness is 20 mm. And the slit 12 is formed from the center part 11 according to the major axis and the minor axis. The long slit 12a has a pair of large holes 12b at the center.

  The string body 20 is made into an annular shape 21 by connecting both ends in advance.

  In this example, the flexible net 30 is a fabric made of polylactic acid fiber, one of which is open 30a and the other 30b of which is a bottomed portion.

Hereafter, the process of shape | molding the foaming tool of this invention with said each member is explained in full detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, the string body 20 is pierced and tied into the holes 12 b and 12 b of the flexible urethane foam 10. Needless to say, even if the hole 12b is not formed, it may be passed through any one of the slits.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, twisting (arrow) is applied to the urethane foam 10 to give the urethane foam 10 a three-dimensional effect. Each slit 12 has a function of biting into each other by contact between cells cut by the slit 12 and maintaining a deformed state due to twisting.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the twisted urethane foam 10 is covered with a flexible net 30 from the side opposite to the string body 20.
Thereafter, the urethane foam 10 is wrapped by the bottomed portion 30b of the flexible net 30 and the open portion 30a of the flexible net 30 is twisted. Further, the open portion 30a is inverted and turned over to cover the urethane foam 10. Shape. Here, the string 20 appears as it is and is used for hanging. When the opening 30a of the flexible net 30 is twisted, it is also fastened with a rubber band or a string.

  FIG. 5 is an overall view of the obtained foaming tool, in which a three-dimensionally formed urethane foam 10 is surrounded by a bottomed portion 30 b of the flexible net 30, and this is further opened to the open portion of the flexible net 30. It is covered in a skirt shape at 30a, and has a configuration in which an annular string body 20 that is provided to be suspended from the head appears. If the string body 20 is formed in an annular shape, it is convenient not only for storage but also for foaming while reliably pressing through the finger when foaming.

  The present invention is as described above, and the foaming tool is not only used for facial cleansers, but can be used for other detergents, and can be used for other than facial foaming tools, for example, body washing tools. Is also used, and its utility value is extremely large. A foaming tool can be obtained at a lower cost than the two-dimensional or three-dimensional cutting of flexible urethane foam, and the foaming is extremely good.

FIG. 1 is a view showing each member constituting the foaming tool of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing the relationship between the urethane foam plate and the string body. FIG. 3 is a state diagram in which the urethane foam plate is twisted. FIG. 4 is a view when a flexible net is put on a twisted urethane foam.
