[0009] Hereinafter, a solid bath additive according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a solid bath additive 1, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the solid bath additive 1 shown in FIG.

[0010] The solid bath additive 1 comprises a main body 5 having a first part 10 therein, and a frame-shaped second part as described below. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 5 is configured in a rectangular flat shape and is colored, for example, light blue. The first part 10 is a plate-shaped member that cannot be seen from the outside, but is provided inside the main body 5 as shown in FIG. 2. The main body 5 is a solid bath additive made of a water-soluble material that dissolves in water and, for example, its color dissolves into the surrounding water or hot water.

[0011] The main body 5 is configured, for example, by bonding the upper and lower members 5a, 5b together at the combination line 6 during manufacture. For example, the main body 5 is formed by connecting the first part 10 housed in a concave space 7 provided in the upper and lower members 5a, 5b. Therefore, the first part 10 is housed so that it cannot be seen from the outside. This first part 10 can be connected to a second part 20, which will be described later, to form a toy. That is, the first part 10, which cannot be seen before the main body 5 is melted, takes on a shape as the main body 5 is melted, and can be connected to the second part 20.

[0012] The size of the main body 5 is not particularly limited, but may be configured to have a thickness (d1) between 1 cm and 3 cm, for example. Since the first component 10 is housed inside the main body 5, it has a thin plate shape with a thickness (d2) less than the above-mentioned dimension of the main body 5. The main body 5 has unevenness 8 (concave portions 8a, convex portions 8b) formed on the front side (upper side in the figure) and back side (lower side in the figure). For example, the central portion has a concave portion 8a and the outer edge has a slightly protruding convex portion 8b.

[0013] The unevenness 8 may be a structure in which many smaller unevennesses are provided, instead of the unevenness shown in the figure. Furthermore, the outer surface of the main body 5 may have small unevennesses that make it rough. By forming such unevenness 8, not only can the main body 5 be made easy to hold, but also the surface area can be increased to make it easier to dissolve.

[0014] 2, in the main body 5 before melting, a predetermined space 7 exists around the first part 10, and the first part 10 is accommodated in this space 7. In this manner, the space 7 in the main body 5 is formed to a size that provides a gap between the first part 10. This allows the first part 10 to be accommodated reliably while allowing for dimensional variations, and also prevents the first part 10 and the main body 5 from coming into close contact with each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the first component 10 has a plurality of protrusions 14 on a second surface 12 on the back side, which will be described later. As will be described later, these protrusions 14 are used as a connecting means when connecting with the second component 20, but have another function when housed in the main body 5. For example, a recess 7a that enlarges the space 7 is provided below the space 7, and the protrusions 14 are positioned to fit into this recess 7a. As a result, the protrusions 14 function to position the first component 10 within the main body 5 when it is assembled.

[0016] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state when the main body 5 is immersed in hot water 40 in a bathtub. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the first part 10 is floating. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the first part 10.

[0017] When the main body 5 is dropped into the hot water 40 in the bathtub, it sinks below the surface 41 of the hot water 40, for example, in a state where it is in contact with the bottom 42 of the bathtub, as shown in Fig. 3. If the main body 5 contains a foaming material, the water-soluble main body 5 in this state gradually dissolves while releasing bubbles 50, and a specific color dissolves into the bathtub.

[0018] In this way, as the main body 5 melts, its volume decreases and it finally melts completely. As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, the first part 10 housed in the main body 5 floats above the molten metal surface 41. This is because the specific gravity of the main body 5 is set to 1 or more, while the specific gravity of the first part 10 is set to 1 or less, and the main body 5 is manufactured taking into consideration the total weight of both parts. As a result, it is possible to create a state in which the main body 5 is submerged in water and a state in which the first part 10 floats above the molten metal surface 41.

[0019] The first part 10 floating above the molten metal surface 41 may be in a state where the main body 5 is almost completely melted as shown in Fig. 4(a) or in a state where the first part 10 is not yet completely melted as shown in Fig. 4(b). Either of these cases can be set by appropriately setting the timing of floating based on the weight balance between the main body 5 and the first part 10, as described above.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, the first part 10 is a plate member having a rectangular shape in a plan view, and a pattern C, such as a character, is drawn on the first surface 11, which is the front side, as shown in FIG. 5(a). A large number of patterns C are prepared, and for example, the pattern C is drawn on a seal member 13, and the seal member 13 is attached to the first surface 11. As shown in FIG. 5(b), for example, three cylindrical protrusions 14 are protruded on the second surface, which is the back side of the first part 10. By configuring the first part 10 in this way, as shown in FIG. 4(a), when the first part 10 floats above the molten metal surface 41, the probability that the first surface 11 will be facing up is increased, and the first part 10 can float so that the pattern C can be seen when it rises above the molten metal surface 41.

[0021] 4(b), a case will be described in which the first component 10 floats with a small amount of the main body 5 remaining around it. In this case, you can enjoy watching the main body 5 melt on the molten water surface 41, and you can also enjoy the process of the pattern C becoming visible little by little as the main body 5 becomes less and less. After the main body 5 has melted, the first part 10 can be left floating with the first surface 11 facing up (with the pattern C facing up) so that it can be displayed above the molten water surface 41. Furthermore, it can be removed from above the molten water surface 41 and displayed in another location.

[0022] Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the second part 20. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the second part 20. The second component 20 has a rectangular frame structure in a plan view. For example, the side surface portions 21b and the edge portion 21a that constitute the four sides of the outer periphery on the front side are configured to have a frame depth and frame width. The edge portion 21a has a decorative unevenness 21aa (see FIG. 9) on its upper surface, which creates a decorative feel of the frame. The inner side of the edge portion 21a is formed with a recess 21c capable of accommodating the first component 10, and the bottom surface 23 of this recess 21c is provided with, for example, three connecting bosses 25 at predetermined intervals. The connecting bosses 25 have connecting holes 25h that can be connected to the protrusions 14 of the first component 10.

[0023] The second component 20 is usually provided in an assembled state as shown in Fig. 6, but as shown in Fig. 7, it includes a front member 21 that forms the front side and a back member 22 that forms the back side. The back member 22 is provided with an edge protrusion 24 on the front side of the bottom surface 23 so as to surround the edge portion. The edge protrusion 24 is assembled so as to fit inside the side surface portion 21b of the front member 21.

[0024] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which the first part 10 and the second part 20 are assembled. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of Fig. 8. When connecting the first part to the second part 20, for example, the first part 10 is inserted into the recess 21c from the front side of the second part 20. This is done by fitting the protrusion 14 of the first part 10 into the connecting boss 25 in the recess 21c. In this case, the horizontal dimension W5 and vertical dimension W6 (see FIG. 5) of the first part 10 are configured to be smaller than the recess horizontal dimension W3 and vertical dimension W4 of the recess 21c of the second part 20.

[0025] When the first part 10 is assembled, the second part 20, when viewed from the front side, forms a frame that surrounds the outer periphery of the picture C in a painting-like manner, with the edge 21a protruding further forward than the first part 10. The first part 10 is not only disposed so as to be recessed inward from the edge 21a, but is also attached so that there is a predetermined gap between the second surface 12 and the bottom surface 23. Here, the insertion depth (connection depth) of the convex part 14 of the first part 10 into the connecting boss 25 can be adjusted.

[0026] Furthermore, since the side surface portion 21b has a predetermined thickness, when the product is placed upright on the placement portion, it can be displayed without rolling. Furthermore, in the second component 20, as shown in Fig. 9, a magnet 26 is provided on the back side of the bottom surface 23 (the lower side in the figure). This magnet 26 is configured as a plate-shaped magnet with a size approximating the area of ​​the bottom surface 23. The magnet 26 is not limited to a plate-shaped magnet with a relatively large area as shown in the figure. For example, a configuration in which multiple magnets are provided on the bottom surface 23 side (the inside of the backing member 22 in the figure) may be used.

[0027] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of a form in which the solid bath agent 1 is provided. The solid bath additive 1 can be provided and sold, for example, in a form in which the main body 5 and the second part 20 are fixed adjacent to each other on a mounting sheet 60 via a transparent wrapping member 70 or the like, as shown in Fig. 10. In this case, the main body 5 is configured so that its length and width (W1, W2) are larger than the length and width (W7, W8) of the second part 20, as shown in the figure. The second part 20 is configured so that its length and width (W7, W8) are larger than the length and width (W5, W6) of the first part 10.

[0028] As described above, the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment is provided with the first part 10 hidden, which creates a sense of anticipation about what is contained within the main body 5. In addition, since the main body 5 can be connected to the second part 20 after dissolving, it can be enjoyed as a toy in the connected state.

[0029] In the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the storage space of the main body 5 covers the first part 10 so as to form a space between the first part 10 and the storage space, thereby allowing for variations in the dimensions of the first part 10 and allowing for reliable storage. In addition, by preventing the first part 10 and the main body 5 from coming into close contact with each other, deterioration and discoloration of the first part 10 due to the main body 5 can be prevented.

[0030] In addition, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, when the main body 5 is constructed by combining two parts, one above the other, the first part 10 can be positioned in the storage area of ​​one of the main body parts 5 using the mounting protrusion 14, making it easy to assemble the first part 10.

[0031] In addition, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the first component 10 can, for example, sink in water once and then float up. In addition, by floating up during dissolution, the state (process) of the main body 5 dissolving can be observed.

[0032] In the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the first part 10 is configured so as to be connectable to the recess 21c of the second part 20, and therefore the first part 10 can be connected to the second part 20 so as to surround it.

[0033] In the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the back surface of the first component 10 and the bottom surface 23 of the second component 20 can be connected with a gap between them, creating a three-dimensional effect. In the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the first component 10 is configured to have a thickness less than that of the main body 5, so that it can be contained within the main body 5. The pattern C can provide a toy in the style of a painting that imitates a character or the like.

[0034] In addition, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the surface of the main body 5 is formed with unevenness 8, which makes it easy to hold. Also, by being colored, when used as a bath additive, it can create a beautiful color in the bathtub water.

[0035] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the magnet 26 is provided on the second component 20, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the magnet may be provided on the first component 10.
