Advantages of the Invention

[0014] Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdered bath agent. According to the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be housed as recited in claim 1, separate or open the main body that can be opened and closed, put the object to be housed such as a toy into the main body, then close the main body, fill the main body with the bath agent through the opening, and after filling, close the opening with the lid. Therefore, the above-mentioned problem can be improved. If the opening is opened with the lid and used in a bathtub or the like, the bath agent will start to dissolve through the opening, and the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent can be enjoyed, and it can be used as a bath agent. Also, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it will become a toy from which bubbles blow out through the opening. In addition, since the bath agent starts to dissolve and the object to be housed such as a toy remains in the main body, the main body can be opened and the object to be housed can be taken out and enjoyed.

[0015] Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdered bath agent. According to the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be housed as recited in claim 2, separate or open the main body that can be opened and closed, put the object to be housed such as a toy and the bath agent in powder form, or granular form, or liquid form, or solid form on one side of the main body, then close the main body. Therefore, the above-mentioned problem can be improved. If the opening is opened with the lid and used in a bathtub or the like, the bath agent will start to dissolve through the opening, and the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent can be enjoyed, and it can be used as a bath agent. Also, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it will become a toy from which bubbles blow out through the opening. In addition, since the bath agent starts to dissolve and the object to be housed such as a toy remains in the main body, the main body can be opened and the object to be housed such as a toy can be taken out and enjoyed.

[0016] Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdered bath agent. According to the method of using a bath agent containing an object to be housed as recited in claim 3, since it includes a main body having an opening and being separable or openable and closable, an object to be housed such as a toy housed in this main body, a powdery, granular, liquid, or solid bath agent covering the object to be housed in the main body, and a lid for opening and closing the opening, the above-mentioned problem can be improved. If the opening is opened by the lid and used in a bathtub or the like, the bath agent starts to dissolve through the opening, and one can enjoy the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent and use it as a bath agent. Also, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it becomes a toy from which bubbles blow out from the opening. In addition, since the bath agent starts to dissolve and an object to be housed such as a toy remains in the main body, the main body can be opened to take out the object to be housed and enjoy it.

[0017] Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdery bath agent. According to the bath agent containing an object to be housed as recited in claim 4, since it includes a main body having an opening and being separable or openable and closable, an object to be housed such as a toy housed in this main body, a powdery, granular, liquid, or solid bath agent filled in the main body, and a lid for opening and closing the opening, the above-mentioned problem can be improved. If the opening is opened by the lid and used in a bathtub or the like, the bath agent starts to dissolve through the opening, and one can enjoy the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent and use it as a bath agent. Also, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it becomes a toy from which bubbles blow out from the opening. In addition, since the bath agent starts to dissolve and an object to be housed such as a toy remains in the main body, the main body can be opened to take out the object to be housed and enjoy it.

[0018] Also, according to the method of using a bath agent containing an object to be housed as recited in claim 5, when the main body is floated in a bathtub, the center of gravity of the main body is set so that the opening is below the water surface. Since the bath agent contains a foaming agent, bubbles from the foaming agent are discharged from the opening of the main body, which becomes a propulsive force and causes the main body to move in the bathtub, enabling it to be used as a bath agent and also allowing for play.

[0019] Also, according to the method of using the bath agent containing the object to be housed described in claim 6, in addition to the effects of the invention described in claim 3 above, when the main body is floated in the bathtub, the center of gravity of the main body is set so that the opening is below the water surface. Since the bath agent contains a foaming agent, the foam generated by the foaming agent is discharged from the opening of the main body, which serves as a propulsive force, causing the main body to move in the bathtub. Thus, it can be used as a bath agent and can also be used for play.

[0020] Also, according to the bath agent containing the object to be housed described in claim 7, in addition to the effects of the invention described in claim 4 above, since the main body is a capsule in which the bath agent and the object to be housed are contained and is not visible from the outside, the object to be housed such as a toy cannot be confirmed unless the main body is opened. It is possible to create a sense of anticipation that the object to be housed such as a toy can be confirmed only after opening the main body.

[0021] Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdered bath agent. According to the bath agent described in claim 8, since it includes a main body having an opening and being separable or freely openable and closable, an object to be housed stored in this main body, a bath agent placed in the main body, and a lid for opening and closing the opening, the above problems can be improved. If the opening is opened by the lid and used in a bathtub or the like, the bath agent gradually melts through the opening, and the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent can be enjoyed. Also, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it becomes a toy from which foam blows out from the opening.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] The bath agent, the method for manufacturing the bath agent with an object to be contained, the method for using the bath agent with an object to be contained, and the bath agent with an object to be contained according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0024] B shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 is a bath agent with an object to be contained. The bath agent with an object to be contained B has an opening 11, a main body 1 that is separable or openable and closable, an object to be contained 2 housed in the main body 1, and a powdery or granular (or liquid or solid) bath agent (water-soluble bath agent) 3 filled in the main body 1, and a lid body 4 for opening and closing the opening 11. The main body 1 may have an appropriate shape. For example, it may be a spherical shape (spherical capsule shape) shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, or a boat shape shown in FIG. 4. The lid body 4 may be a seal or the like, or an openable and closable lid that does not separate.

[0025] In FIGS. 1 to 7, the object to be contained 2 is illustrated as a toy, but the object to be contained 2 of the present invention is not limited to toys, and may be any of accessories, vehicle shapes, animal shapes, fish shapes, humanoid shapes, fruit shapes, plant shapes, character shapes, pins, straps, sachets, and coupons. Also, although the main body 1 in FIGS. 1 and 4 is illustrated so that the inside can be seen from the outside, the main body 1 is preferably formed of a material that cannot be seen from the outside as shown in FIG. 7. Unless the main body 1 is opened, it is impossible to check the stored object 2 such as a toy. Only after opening the main body 1 can one have the anticipation of being able to check any one of a toy, an accessory, the shape of a vehicle, the shape of an animal, the shape of a fish, the shape of a doll, the shape of a fruit, the shape of a plant, the shape of a character, a pin, a strap, a sachet, or a coupon.

[0026] That is, conventionally, in the case of a bath ball, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying a powdered bath agent. According to the bath agent B with a stored object of the present invention, it has an opening 11 and can be separated (for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the upper lid 12 and the lower lid 13 are separated and the upper lid 12 and the lower lid 13 are fitted together to form the main body 1), or the main body 1 can be opened and closed (for example, the upper lid 12 and the lower lid 13 are connected by a hinge not shown). It is provided with a stored object 2 stored in the main body 1, a powdery (or powdery put into the main body 1), granular, liquid, or solid bath agent 3 filled in the main body 1, and a lid body 4 for opening and closing the opening 11. Therefore, the above problems can be improved. In addition, since the bath agent 3 melts and the stored object 2 remains in the main body 1, the main body 1 can be opened and the stored object 2 (the stored object 2 is any one of a toy, an accessory, the shape of a vehicle, the shape of an animal, the shape of a fish, the shape of a doll, the shape of a fruit, the shape of a plant, the shape of a character, a pin, a strap, a sachet, or a coupon) can be taken out and enjoyed. Note that the main body 1 of the present embodiment is divided into an upper lid 12 and a lower lid 13 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, for example. Also, the bath agent 3 in FIG. 2 is schematically illustrated, and the bath agent 3 may be powdery, granular, liquid, or solid.

[0027] The bath agent B with a stored object described above is manufactured as follows. First, open the main body 1, put the stored object 2 into the main body 1, then close the main body 1, and fill the bath agent 3 into the main body 1 from the opening 11 using a filling machine (not shown, for example). After filling, close the opening 11 with the lid body 4 to manufacture the bath agent B with a stored object.

[0028] In addition, in FIGS. 1 to 7, the object 2 to be stored is illustrated as a toy. However, the invention of the present application is not limited thereto. The object 2 to be stored may be any one of a toy, an accessory, a vehicle shape, an animal shape, a fish shape, a doll shape, a fruit shape, a plant shape, a character shape, a pin, a strap, a sachet, and a coupon.

[0029] Conventionally, in a bath ball, there have been problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying a powdered bath agent. According to the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be stored of the present embodiment, the main body 1 that can be separated or opened and closed is opened, the object 2 to be stored is placed in the main body 1, then the main body 1 is closed, the bath agent 3 is filled into the main body 1 through the opening 11, and after filling, the opening 11 is closed with the lid 4, so that the above problems can be improved.

[0030] In addition, as a method of using the bath agent B containing an object to be stored, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, it is used by floating it in a bathtub. Usually, it can be used as the bath agent 3 while floating or sinking it in a state where the opening 11 is open and playing. That is, the bath agent 3 is discharged from the opening 11 and diffused into the bathtub for use.

[0031] In addition, in the main body 1 of FIG. 1, the main body 1 has an opening 11 and a second opening (not shown) smaller than the granular bath agent 3. When the main body 1 is floated in a bathtub, the center of gravity of the main body 1 is set so that the second opening (not shown) is below the water surface. The bath agent 3 contains a foaming agent, and the foam generated by the foaming agent is discharged from the second opening (not shown), which serves as a propulsive force, so that the main body 1 can move in the bathtub and can be used as the bath agent 3, and it may also be possible to play.

[0032] Further, even if the main body 1 does not have a second opening (not shown) smaller than the opening 11 of the main body 1 and the granular bath agent 3, as shown in FIG. 6, when the main body 1 is floated in a bathtub, the center of gravity of the main body 1 is set so that the opening 11 is below the water surface. Since the bath agent 3 contains a foaming agent, the foam generated by the foaming agent is discharged from the opening 11 of the main body 1, which serves as a propulsive force, and the main body 1 moves in the bathtub. Thus, it can be used as the bath agent 3 and can also be made to be a toy.

[0033] Note that although the bath agent B containing the container to be stored has been described as the bath agent B containing the container 2 to be stored, in the present invention, the container 2 to be stored may not be provided. In this case, the bath agent includes a main body 1 having an opening 11 and being separable or openable and closable, a powdery, granular, liquid, or solid bath agent 3 contained in the main body 1, and a lid body 4 for opening and closing the opening 11. Conventionally, in the case of a bath ball, there have been problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying a powdery bath agent. According to the above bath agent, since it includes a main body 1 having an opening 11 and being separable or openable and closable, a powdery, granular, liquid, or solid bath agent 3 contained in the main body 1, and a lid body 4 for opening and closing the opening 11, the above problems can be improved. If the lid body 4 is used to open the opening 11 and the bath agent is submerged or floated in a bathtub or the like for use, the bath agent 3 gradually dissolves through the opening 11, and the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent 3 can be enjoyed. Further, if the bath agent is of a foaming type, it becomes a toy from which foam blows out from the opening.

[0034] Further, if the main body 1 is made into a capsule in which a bath agent (for example, a powdery bath agent) 3 and the container 2 to be stored are incorporated so as not to be visible from the outside, as shown in FIG. 7 for example, the main body 1 is suitable as a product in a display box (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-88943) that stores the capsule and displays it at a storefront.

[0035] Further, the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be stored described in the above embodiments is to open the main body 1, place the object to be stored 2 into the main body 1, then close the main body 1, fill the bath agent 3 into the main body 1 through the opening 11, and after filling, close the opening 11 with the lid 4. The object to be stored 2 has been described as being any of a toy, an accessory, the shape of a vehicle, the shape of an animal, the shape of a fish, the shape of a doll, the shape of a fruit, the shape of a plant, the shape of a character, a pin, a strap, a sachet, and a coupon. However, in the present invention, it is not necessary to use the opening 11 as the filling port for the bath agent 3. In the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be stored in this case, it includes a main body 1 having an opening 11 that can be separated or opened and closed, an object to be stored 2 stored in the main body 1, a powdery, granular, liquid, or solid bath agent 3 filled in the main body 1, and a lid 4 for opening and closing the opening 11. Open the main body 1, place the object to be stored 2 and the bath agent 3 on one side of the main body 1, and then close the main body 1. Specifically, for example, separate the main body 1 into an upper lid 12 and a lower lid 13. As shown in FIG. 7, place the object to be stored 2 and the bath agent (for example, a powdery bath agent) 3 on the separated lower lid 13, and then fit the upper lid 12 onto the lower lid 13 to form the main body 1. And the object to be stored 2 is any of a toy, an accessory, the shape of a vehicle, the shape of an animal, the shape of a fish, the shape of a doll, the shape of a fruit, the shape of a plant, the shape of a character, a pin, a strap, a sachet, and a coupon. Conventionally, in the case of bath balls, there were problems such as the need for a dedicated pressing device for pressing and solidifying the powdery bath agent. According to the method for manufacturing a bath agent containing an object to be stored, by opening the separable or openable and closable main body 1 and placing the object to be stored 2 such as a toy and the bath agent 3 on one side (for example, the lower lid 13) of the main body 1, and then closing the main body 1, the above problems can be improved. Open the opening 11 with the lid 4 and use it in a bathtub or the like. Then, through the opening 11, the bath agent 3 starts to dissolve, and one can enjoy the color, fragrance, etc. of the bath agent 3 and use it as a bath agent. Also, if the bath agent is of the foaming type, it becomes a toy from which bubbles blow out through the opening. In addition, since the bath agent 3 dissolves and the stored object 2 such as a toy remains in the main body 1, the main body 1 can be opened and the stored object 2 (the stored object 2 can be any of a toy, an accessory, a vehicle shape, an animal shape, a fish shape, a doll shape, a fruit shape, a plant shape, a character shape, a pin, a strap, a sachet, and a coupon) can be taken out and enjoyed.
