To address such a problem that a conventional method of washing a face involves scooping water from a wash-basin with both hands, or catching water coming out of a water spout of a wash room with both hands, however, an amount of water that can be scooped up with both hands is small, and further, hot water also flows through the fingers, making it impossible to wash the entire face at a time, and furthermore, in a case of soapy face wash, it is necessary to repeatedly wash many times until bubbles of the soap are completely removed.SOLUTION: A light-weight three-dimensional face washing sheet made of a flexible material, has a shape of wrapping around a whole face three-dimensionally, when being placed on top of open hands, can hold a lot of water, and has an angled chin part to block water from flowing out.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a lightweight face-washing sheet that can be easily held with both hands and can hold a sufficient amount of water when washing the face. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional face washing involves scooping hot or cold water from a washbowl with both hands, or catching the water coming out of the sink's faucet with both hands, but the amount that can be scooped up with both hands is small, and the water also drips through the gaps between the fingers, making it impossible to wash the whole face in one go. In addition, when washing the face with soap, it is necessary to wash repeatedly until all the soap bubbles are removed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-133075 A [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 07-079873 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] If the amount of water that can be scooped into both hands can be increased and sufficient water can be used to wash the face, there is no need to repeatedly scoop and wash, and in addition to shortening the time required for washing the face, soap bubbles on a wide area of ​​the face can be cleanly removed. In addition, it is recommended to wash the face gently and without rubbing the face with your hands, and if you can scoop up plenty of water, your fingers will not touch your face and you can wash your face without friction. There are conventional washbasins as described in other prior art (Patent Document 1 or 2), and there is a method of washing your face by placing your face in a washbasin filled with water, but it is too large to wash your face by placing it on both hands, and it does not fit the shape of your face, so you have to add unnecessary water and it is heavy and unsuitable for use on your hands. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To solve the above problems, a lightweight three-dimensional face washing sheet is provided, which is shaped to three-dimensionally envelop the entire face, can scoop up a large amount of hot and cold water when placed on open hands, can hold the amount of water, and has an angled chin area to stop water from flowing out, and is made of a flexible material. Effect of the Invention

[0006] Conventionally, when washing your face at a sink, you would scoop up water flowing from the sink's water spout with your hand and splash it evenly over your entire face, including around your eyes and mouth, nose, forehead, and cheeks, and repeat this action to wash your face. However, by being able to hold a sufficient amount of water each time, you can soak your entire face in one go and rinse away the foam, shortening the time it takes to wash your face and preventing water from splashing around when washing your face. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] A diagram of the three-dimensional face-washing sheet of the present invention unfolded. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 shows the present invention of FIG. 1 folded in half. [Diagram 3] Top view of Figure 1 with your finger through it [Figure 4] Side view of Figure 1 with finger through it [Diagram 5] A diagram showing the present invention with multiple bellows-like folds. [Figure 6] Cross-sectional view of the bellows portion of Figure 5 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The amount of water that can be scooped up by both hands of an average woman is only about 100cc, and it is difficult to hold enough water to soak the entire face, taking into consideration the fact that the water may spill out between the fingers.By using the sheet of the present invention, the amount of water used for one face wash can be held in the range of 100-500cc, and more preferably in the range of about 150cc-350cc.In addition, since the sheet structure of the present invention has a three-dimensional shape that matches the shape of the human face, it does not become heavy due to excessive water being stored, unlike the conventional hand-held washbasin used in the bathroom, and can hold the amount of water necessary for one face wash, allowing for frictionless washing.

[0009] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the part along the midline should be shaped to smoothly curve from the forehead to the tip of the chin in order to create a three-dimensional shape that matches the contours of the face, but it is also fine to have an angled shape made up of connected straight lines, as long as it forms a vessel shape that can be held in both hands when unfolded.

[0010] The vertical length is the length from the hairline to the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin plus 1 to 10 cm on both sides, preferably 3 to 7 cm. The horizontal width is the length from the sideburns to the tip of the nose plus 1 to 7 cm on both sides, preferably 3 to 5 cm.

[0011] In Figure 1, a joint is provided on the midline to eliminate bulkiness in the folded portion, but it may be a single sheet, or it may be a bellows-shaped sheet that is unfolded to form a vessel shape, as in Figure 4. Also, to prevent the edges from folding outward due to increased bending caused by an increase in the amount of water, the edges may be reinforced with a material harder than the main body.

[0012] It is assumed that when running water after washing the face, the wrist is bent outward and the water is run from the fingertips side, and by providing an angle at the position corresponding to the chin to prevent water from running from the wrist side while washing the face, it is possible to prevent water from splashing onto clothing. The angle of the part that corresponds to the chin is between 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and more preferably an angle of 130 to 170 degrees.

[0013] Simply placing the sheet on both hands is unstable and water may spill out. In order to keep the water held in the sheet stable, the present invention provides finger holes, and the thumb is inserted from the outside toward the inside, and the remaining four fingers are spread out to support the sheet and balance it for stable use. As shown in Figure 3, when the thumb is inserted through the hole, the hole is provided in the lower half of the sheet at the base of the thumb when the hands are spread out, but holes for the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger may be provided in the upper half as long as the shape allows for stable holding. The size of the hole is such that it does not restrict the range of motion when the fingers are passed through it, and an oval shape is appropriate, but the shape is not limited to a perfect circle, triangle, square, etc. as long as it does not interfere with supporting the sheet filled with hot water. In addition, since the hole is subjected to a large load, such as holding water and hanging it on a hook to dry, the surroundings of the hole may be made of a material harder than the main body or may be reinforced in consideration of durability. After washing your face, you can hang it up on a hook through the finger hole, allowing it to dry hygienically and without taking up space, without having to place it on a sink or other surface.It can also be folded in half or accordion-shaped to save storage space and make it portable, so it can be used repeatedly or as a disposable item.

[0014] It is preferable that the sheet is made of flexible materials such as soft acrylic, silicon, rubber, resin, and synthetic resin, but even slightly bendable materials such as plastic will do as long as they can be formed into a three-dimensional shape. It is also possible to use lightweight materials such as nonwoven fabric, and apply a water-repellent finish to the entire surface or the inside, or to coat it with a water-repellent material to create a structure that can retain water. Also, for hygiene reasons, if materials with antibacterial and antiviral treatments are used, they can always be kept clean. There are no restrictions on the overall material as long as it can retain the amount of water used in washing the face.

[0015] In another embodiment of the present invention, a cleansing protrusion may be provided so that foam facial cleansing can be performed at the same time. EXAMPLES

[0016] We created the three-dimensional face-washing sheets shown in Figures 1 and 5 and actually used them to wash our faces. We confirmed that both the bifold and accordion-shaped sheets could scoop up approximately 100 to 500 cc of running water, stably hold the water, and immerse the entire face in it. Since there was no need to repeatedly splash the water on the face, there was no water splashing, and the foam could be washed away cleanly. [Industrial Applicability]

[0017] Although it is intended to be used for washing the face, it can also be used to wash anything that can be washed with water stored in both hands, such as the face, as a cup to rinse the mouth when brushing teeth, and can be used to wash any item that can be immersed in the water stored in the sheet, such as vegetables or household items, so the uses are limitless.
