[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. 1 taken along the line AA.

[0010] The solid bath additive 1 comprises a main body 5 having a first component 10 therein and a frame-shaped second component, as described below. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 5 is a flat rectangular parallelepiped and colored, for example, light blue. The first component 10 is a plate-like member that is not visible 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 in the surrounding water or hot water.

[0011] For example, during manufacturing, the main body 5 is configured by bonding together the upper and lower members 5a, 5b at the combination line 6. For example, the main body 5 is formed by connecting the upper and lower members 5a, 5b together with the first part 10 housed in a recessed 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 the second part 20, which will be described later, to form a toy. In other words, the first part 10, which is invisible before the main body 5 is melted, reveals its shape as the main body 5 is melted, and can then be connected to the second part 20.

[0012] The size of the main body 5 is not particularly limited, but can be configured to have a thickness (d1) of, for example, between 1 cm and 3 cm. Furthermore, since the first component 10 is housed within the main body 5, it has a thin plate shape with a thickness (d2) less than the aforementioned dimensions of the main body 5. Furthermore, the main body 5 has irregularities 8 (concave portions 8a, convex portions 8b) formed on its front surface side (upper side in the figure) and back surface 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 irregularities 8 may not be the irregularities shown in the figure, but may instead be a configuration in which many smaller irregularities are provided. Furthermore, the outer surface of the main body 5 may have small irregularities that make it rough. Forming such irregularities 8 not only makes the main body 5 easier to hold, but also increases the surface area, making it easier to dissolve.

[0014] 2, before melting, the main body 5 has a predetermined space 7 around the first component 10, and the first component 10 is housed within this space 7. In this way, the space 7 of the main body 5 is formed to a size that provides a gap between it and the first component 10. This allows for variations in the dimensions of the first component 10 to be accommodated reliably, and also prevents the first component 10 and the main body 5 from coming into close contact with each other.

[0015] Furthermore, 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 to second component 20, but they also have a different function when housed within main body 5. For example, a recess 7a that enlarges space 7 is provided below space 7, and protrusions 14 are positioned to fit within recess 7a. This allows protrusions 14 to function as a positioning device when first component 10 is installed within main body 5.

[0016] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the main body 5 is immersed in hot water 40 in a bathtub. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the first component 10 in a floating state. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the first component 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, so that it is in contact with the bottom 42 of the bathtub, as shown in Figure 3. If the main body 5 contains a foaming material, the water-soluble main body 5 gradually dissolves in this state while releasing bubbles 50, and a specific color dissolves into the bathtub.

[0018] As the main body 5 melts in this way, its volume decreases and it eventually melts completely. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the first component 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 be 1 or greater, while the specific gravity of the first component 10 is set to be 1 or less, and the main body 5 is manufactured taking into consideration the total weight of both components. 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 component 10 floats above the molten metal surface 41.

[0019] The first component 10 that floats 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 component 10 is not yet completely melted, as shown in Fig. 4(b). Either of these cases can be achieved by appropriately setting the timing of floating based on the weight balance between the main body 5 and the first component 10, as described above.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, the first part 10 is a plate member that is rectangular in plan view, and a picture C, such as a character, is drawn on a first surface 11, which is the obverse side, as shown in FIG. 5(a). Many different pictures C are available, and for example, the picture C is drawn on a seal member 13, which is attached to the first surface 11. As shown in FIG. 5(b), three cylindrical protrusions 14 are protruded from a second surface, which is the reverse 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, there is a high probability that the first surface 11 will be facing up, and the first part 10 can float so that the picture C is visible 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 main body 5 remaining around it. In this case, you can enjoy watching the main body 5 melt above the surface of the water 41, and you can also enjoy the process of the design C gradually becoming visible as the remaining main body 5 decreases. After the main body 5 has melted, the first component 10 can be left floating with the first surface 11 facing up (with the design C facing up) and can be displayed above the surface of the hot water 41. Furthermore, the first component 10 can be removed from the surface of the hot water 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, which form the four outer edges of the front side, are configured to have the depth and width of the frame. The edge portion 21a has decorative irregularities 21aa (see FIG. 9) on its upper surface, which create the decorative feel of the frame. The inside 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 has, for example, three connecting bosses 25 provided at predetermined intervals. The connecting bosses 25 have connecting holes 25h that can connect 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 also includes a front member 21 that forms the front side and a back member 22 that forms the back side. The back member 22 has an edge projection 24 on the front side of the bottom surface 23 that surrounds the edge. The back member 22 is assembled so that this edge projection 24 fits inside the side surface portion 21b of the front component 21.

[0024] 8 is a perspective view showing the assembled state of the first part 10 and the second part 20. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 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 of the first part 10 (see FIG. 5) are configured to be smaller than the horizontal dimension W3 and vertical dimension W4 of the recess 21c of the second part 20.

[0025] When the first component 10 is assembled, the second component 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 projecting further forward than the first component 10. The first component 10 is not only positioned 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 protrusion 14 of the first component 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 exhibited without rolling. Furthermore, in the second component 20, as shown in Fig. 9, a magnet 26 is provided on the reverse 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 that approximates the area of ​​the bottom surface 23. The magnet 26 is not limited to the configuration in which it is provided in a plate shape with a relatively large area as shown in the figure. For example, it may be configured such that multiple magnets are provided on the bottom surface 23 side (inside the backing member 22 in the figure).

[0027] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of how the solid bath additive 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, as shown in Fig. 10. In this case, as shown in the figure, 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. The length and width (W7, W8) of the second part 20 are also configured so that they 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 component 10 hidden, creating a sense of anticipation as to what is contained within the main body 5. Furthermore, since the main body 5 can be connected to the second component 20 after dissolving, it can be enjoyed as a toy in the connected state.

[0029] Furthermore, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the storage space of the main body 5 covers the first component 10 so as to form a space between it and the first component 10, thereby allowing for variations in the dimensions of the first component 10 and ensuring reliable storage. Furthermore, by avoiding close contact between the first component 10 and the main body 5, deterioration and discoloration of the first component 10 due to the main body 5 can be avoided.

[0030] Furthermore, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, when the main body 5 is constructed by combining two upper and lower parts, 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 and then float up. Furthermore, by floating up during dissolution, the state (process) of the main body 5 dissolving can be seen.

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

[0033] Furthermore, 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. Furthermore, 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 it can be housed within the main body 5. The pattern C can provide a toy with a pictorial style that resembles a character or the like.

[0034] Furthermore, in the solid bath additive 1 of this embodiment, the body 5 has an uneven surface 8, which makes it easy to grip. Also, by being colored, when used as a bath additive, it can create a beautiful color in the bathtub water.

[0035] While 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, magnet 26 is provided in second component 20, but this is not limiting and magnet 26 may be provided in first component 10.
