AI Technical Summary
Existing soap foam generators with clips or hook-and-loop fasteners for closing openings in sponges are prone to losing functionality, making manufacturing complex and increasing the risk of soap falling out.
A plate-shaped solid soap with an anti-slip surface and recessed portions is inserted into a linear slit in a sponge, preventing it from falling out without additional closure mechanisms.
The simple structure effectively holds the soap inside the sponge, ensuring easy manufacturing and reliable retention, even as the soap diminishes in size.

[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a bar soap and a soap foam generator, and more particularly to a bar soap held inside a sponge and a soap foam generator that generates soap foam by holding the bar soap inside a sponge. [Background technology]
[0002] As an example of a solid soap held inside a sponge and a soap foam generator in which the solid soap is held inside a sponge, Patent Document 1 describes a soap foam generator in which a space for placing the solid soap is formed inside the sponge, an opening is formed on the surface of the sponge that communicates with the space inside the sponge, and the opening on the surface of the sponge can be opened and closed using a clip or hook-and-loop fastener.
[0003] According to the soap foam generator described in Patent Document 1, the opening on the sponge surface can be opened and closed using a clip or hook-and-loop fastener, preventing the solid soap from falling out of the sponge through the opening on the sponge surface. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3143919 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] As described above, in the soap foam generator described in Patent Document 1, the opening on the sponge surface can be opened and closed using a clip or hook-and-loop fastener to prevent the bar soap from falling out of the sponge through the opening on the sponge surface. Therefore, if the clip is lost, the bar soap cannot be prevented from falling out of the sponge through the opening on the sponge surface. Furthermore, if a hook-and-loop fastener is used, the hook-and-loop fastener must be installed in the opening on the sponge surface, which makes manufacturing the generator more time-consuming.
[0006] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a soap foam generator in which a soap bar is held inside a sponge, which has a simple structure that prevents the soap bar from falling out of the sponge, and which is easy to manufacture. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The solid soap disclosed in the present application is a plate-shaped solid soap (20) that is inserted into a slit (11) formed so as to penetrate linearly through a sponge (10) and is held inside the sponge (10), and has an anti-slip surface (21) formed on at least one surface, and a recessed portion (22a) on at least one side of the outer peripheral surface (22) along the insertion direction (X1) into the slit (11).
[0008] In the bar soap disclosed in the present application, at least one of the surfaces is formed in a wavy shape to provide the anti-slip feature (21).
[0009] The soap foam generator disclosed in the present application includes the above-mentioned bar soap (20) and the sponge (10) having the slit (11) formed so as to penetrate linearly therethrough. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] According to the solid soap and soap foam generator of the present invention, the soap foam generator holds the solid soap inside the sponge, and its simple structure prevents the solid soap from falling out of the sponge, making it easy to manufacture. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a bar of soap and a soap foam generator according to an embodiment of the present invention before the bar of soap is inserted. FIG. [Figure 2] 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a bar soap and a soap foam generator according to an embodiment of the present invention after the bar soap has been inserted; FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The following is a detailed description of a bar soap according to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the drawings. The embodiment described below is a preferred example for carrying out the present invention, and therefore various technical limitations are imposed. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment unless otherwise specified in the following description.
[0013] A bar soap according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bar soap and soap foam generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the appearance before the bar soap is inserted. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bar soap and soap foam generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the appearance after the bar soap is inserted.
[0014] 1 and 2, the bar soap 20 of this embodiment is plate-shaped and is inserted into a slit 11 formed in the sponge 10 and held inside the sponge 10. The slit 11 is formed so as to pass straight through the sponge 10.
[0015] In this embodiment, the sponge 10 is cylindrical, and the slit 11 is formed so as to penetrate the sponge 10 in the axial direction and open to both end faces 10a of the sponge 10. Although not required, a plurality of auxiliary slits 11A having a smaller width than the slit 11 as the main slit may be provided in parallel to the slit 11.
[0016] The sponge 10 has an apparent density of 25 to 35 kg / m as measured by a measurement method conforming to JIS K 7222. 3 It is preferable that the apparent density of the sponge 10 is 25 to 35 kg / m 3 This allows for better soap foam generation.
[0017] The bar soap 20 has an anti-slip surface 21 formed on at least one surface thereof. In this embodiment, one surface of the bar soap 20 is formed in a corrugated shape to form the anti-slip surface 21.
[0018] In addition, the solid soap 20 is formed in a gourd shape that is symmetrical from top to bottom, and has a recessed portion 22a on at least one side of the outer surface 22 that is along the insertion direction X1 into the slit 11, and chamfered portions 22b are formed at the corners of both end surfaces that intersect with the insertion direction X1.
[0019] In addition, a linear recess (not shown) is provided on the opposite side of one side of the wavy bar soap 20, making it easier to fold the gourd-shaped bar soap 20 in the center, and it can also be used as a normal soap for washing your face.
[0020] As described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2, according to the soap foam generator of this embodiment, an anti-slip surface 21 is formed on at least one surface of the bar soap 20. Therefore, without providing a special mechanism for blocking the opening of the slit 11, the bar soap 20 can be prevented from falling out of the sponge 10 through the opening of the slit 11, and the simple structure can prevent the bar soap 20 from falling out of the sponge 10, making it easy to manufacture the soap foam generator.
[0021] Furthermore, according to the soap foam generator of the embodiment, at least one surface of the bar soap 20 is formed in a corrugated shape to provide the non-slip surface 21. Therefore, the non-slip surface 21 can be formed with simple processing, and the simple structure can prevent the bar soap 20 from falling out of the sponge 10, further facilitating the production of the soap foam generator.
[0022] Furthermore, since the solid soap 20 has a recessed portion 22a on at least one side of the outer surface 22 along the insertion direction X1 into the slit 11, the recessed portion 22a also functions as an anti-slip agent, further effectively preventing the solid soap 20 from falling off outside the sponge 10.
[0023] Furthermore, if a plurality of auxiliary slits 11A narrower than the slit 11 are provided, when the solid soap 20 becomes smaller due to use of the soap foam generator, the solid soap 20 can be inserted into the auxiliary slits 11A, making it even more difficult for the solid soap 20 to fall off, and more effectively preventing the solid soap 20 from falling off to the outside of the sponge 10.
[0024] Furthermore, by forming chamfered portions 22b at the corners of both end faces that intersect with the insertion direction X1 of the bar soap 20, it becomes easier to insert the bar soap 20 into the slit 11, improving the usability of the soap foam generator.
[0025] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings (Figs. 1 and 2). However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
