Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, a solid bath agent which is one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the solid bath agent 1.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the solid bath agent 1 has a shape imitating an image such as a substantially spherical fruit in the first form 1F of the main body part 10. For example, from the outer surface 10s of the spherical main body part 10 having an appropriate color, the bamboo part of the rod-shaped part 21a protrudes, and further, a non-rod-shaped part 21b imitating a leaf extends from the rod-shaped part 21a. Thereby, for example, it can imitate an apple or a pear. The spherical main body part 10 is made of a water-soluble material whose color dissolves in the surrounding water or hot water.

[0011] This solid bath agent 1 includes a sub-body part 20 (see Fig. 2) that is enclosed within the main body part 10 and has a part 21 exposed from the main body part 10 as described above in the first form 1F before the main body part 10 dissolves. Further, in the second form 2F (see Fig. 4) after the main body part 10 dissolves, the entire sub-body part 20 is exposed from the main body part 10. Here, the outer surface 10s of the main body part 10 generally has small irregularities that are rough, and is configured to increase the surface area and facilitate dissolution.

[0012] Since the main body part 10 is spherical as described above in the first form 1F, it is configured to be rollable. Also, the main body part 10 is composed of a colored and opaque bath agent, and the sub-body part 20 housed inside cannot be seen from the outside in the first form 1F. However, in the first form 1F, as shown in the figure, a part 21 of the sub-body part 20 exposed from one location of the main body part 10 is provided. This exposed part 21 is configured to be of a size that can be gripped, for example, pinched with fingertips or held by a child with their hand. In particular, since the tip side of the rod-shaped part 21a is a flat non-rod-shaped part 21b, it is easy to hold.

[0013] Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the solid bath agent 1 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the sub-body part 20 has its sub-body part main body 22 modeled after a bear character, and the part 21 exposed from the main body part 10 is modeled after the bamboo rod and leaves held by the character. Also, in the first form 1F, the sub-body part main body 22 of the sub-body part 20 is located near the central part C in the main body part 10.

[0014] The auxiliary body part 20 is water-insoluble and made of a soft material with flexibility such as synthetic resin or rubber. The main body 22 of the auxiliary body part is configured as a character including at least a head part 22a, a body part 22b, and leg parts 22c, and a support part 30 described later is connected to the leg parts 22c. The main body 22 of the auxiliary body part is configured to have a larger diameter and a larger size (larger volume) than the rod-shaped part 21a. In the first form 1F, the auxiliary body part 20 is held by the main body part 10 and will not fall off from the main body part 10.

[0015] The main body part 10 is configured such that its maximum diameter (L1) is longer than the length (L2) of the longest side of the auxiliary body part 20. Thus, the main body part 10 has a sufficient size.

[0016] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example when the solid bath agent 1 shown in FIG. 2 is put into the bathtub 50. In the solid bath agent 1, while the main body part 10 is configured to have a weight that sinks in water, the auxiliary body part 20 is configured to float in water. And in the first form 1F, the solid bath agent 1, for example, initially sinks to the bottom of the bathtub 50 when put into the bathtub 50.

[0017] However, as the dissolution of the main body part 10 progresses and the weight becomes lighter and the buoyancy becomes larger, it floats on the water surface 50a of the bathtub 50. The dissolution state of the main body part 10 when floating is determined by the relationship between the weight of the main body part 10 and the buoyancy of the auxiliary body part 20. The state at the time of floating can be such that the main body part 10 remains on the outer periphery of the main body 22 of the auxiliary body part as shown in FIG. 3. In this way, since the main body 22 of the auxiliary body part, which is the main part of the character, cannot be seen in the floating state, at this stage, it is impossible to confirm what the character is. However, as time passes and the dissolution of the main body part 10 progresses, the visible part of the character gradually increases, and it is possible to see the actual form of the character gradually becoming clear.

[0018] Here, in order to leave the main body 10 so that the sub-body main body 22 is covered by the main body 10 at the initial floating stage (the state shown in FIG. 3), for example, it is important that the sub-body main body 22 is located at the central portion C (see FIG. 2) of the main body 10. That is, by positioning the sub-body main body 22 at the central portion of the main body 10, the thickness of the main body 10 surrounding the sub-body main body 22 can be made substantially the same. As a result, it is possible to create a state in which there is little deviation in the remaining amount of the main body 10 around the sub-body main body 22 during melting (the state shown in FIG. 3).

[0019] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a second form 2F of the sub-body 20. After the main body 10 has completely melted, as shown in FIG. 4, the sub-body 20 can be placed upright on a placement portion 60 such as the edge of the bathtub or a table, for example, using the flat portion 30a of the support portion 30 without rolling it. The support portion 30 includes a locking portion 30b that engages with, for example, sandwiches the leg portion 22c of the character. Further, the support portion 30 is detachable from the leg portion 22c, but in the first form 1F, the locking portion 30b is in a state of being connected to the leg portion 22c.

[0020] FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view when the accommodation position of the sub-body 20 is biased. In the solid bath agent 1 shown in FIG. 5, the position of the sub-body 20 enclosed in the main body 10 is biased toward the outer surface 10s side of the main body 10, that is, near the edge portion of the main body 10. In this case, the sub-body main body 22 is in a state where the front of the character is close to the outer surface 10s. Therefore, the thickness of the front-side main body 10a of the character is configured to be thinner than the thickness of the back-side main body 10b on the back side.

[0021] FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing an example when the solid bath agent 1 shown in FIG. 5 is put into a bathtub 50. In the first form 1F, the solid bath agent 1, for example, initially sinks to the bottom of the bathtub 50 when put into the bathtub 50, and then floats on the water surface 50a as shown in Fig. 6. In the state shown in Fig. 6, unlike the state shown in Fig. 3, it floats with the character front side of the sub-body part main body 22 facing upward. This is because it is set to float with a large part of the main body part 10 on the back side of the character remaining, so that the back side of the character is heavy, and it is possible to produce a floating state with the front side of the character facing upward. The solid bath agent 1 becomes a biased dissolution state with respect to the sub-body part main body 22 in this way, which is possible due to the biased arrangement of the sub-body part 20 in the first form 1F.

[0022] In this way, by floating in a state where the sub-body part main body 22 of the main part of the character, especially the front side, can be seen, it is possible to produce an effect where it is possible to confirm what the character is at the same time as floating. Regarding the biased arrangement of the sub-body part main body 22, the thickness of the main body part 10 on the front side and the back side with respect to the sub-body part main body 22 can be appropriately set, such as reducing the back side or the side surface side, contrary to the state shown in the figure.

[0023] As described above, in the solid bath agent 1 of this aspect, in the solid bath agent 1, since only a part 21 of the sub-body part 20 included in the main body part 10 can be seen, its appearance is different from that composed only of the bath agent part (main body part 10), and it is possible to produce an appearance effect such as a fruit using a part 21 of the sub-body part. Also, since only a part 21 can be seen, it is possible to produce a way of enjoying imagining what the enclosed character is like.

[0024] Also, in the solid bath agent 1 of this aspect, when the main body part 10 is configured in a spherical shape that can roll in the first form 1F, it can be rolled and played with.

[0025] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, the auxiliary body part 20 configured to float on water and the main body part 10 configured to sink in water are configured to sink in water in the first form 1F. Therefore, at the beginning when it is put into the bathtub 50, it sinks below the water surface, and as the main body part 10 dissolves, the auxiliary body part 20 can float up, creating an effect.

[0026] Also, in the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, in the first form 1F, since the auxiliary body part main body 22 is provided at the central part C of the main body part 10, the thickness of the main body part 10 provided around the auxiliary body part 20 can be made the same. As a result, when it is put into the bathtub 50, the main body part 10 can be dissolved at a substantially uniform speed over the entire circumference of the auxiliary body part 20. Therefore, for example, when the main body part 10 floats on the water surface of the bathtub 50 in a state of adhering to the periphery of the auxiliary body part 20, a state where the auxiliary body part main body 22 of the auxiliary body part 20 is covered by the main body part 10 can be created. Thereby, at the beginning when the auxiliary body part 20 floats up, it is not known what kind of character it is, and thereafter, as the main body part 10 gradually dissolves, it is possible to create the pleasure of seeing the actual state of the character.

[0027] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, the auxiliary body part 20 is located near the edge part of the main body part 10 (on the side closer to the outer surface 10s) in the first form 1F, so the thickness (volume) of the main body part 10 facing one side and the other side of the auxiliary body part main body 22 can be changed. As a result, when the solid bath agent 1 is put into the bathtub 50, the remaining state of the main body part 10 can be changed between one side and the other side. Thereby, for example, by making the main body part 10 thicker on the back side of the character of the auxiliary body part 20, when it is put into the bathtub 50 and floats up, it can be made to float with the back side of the character being heavy and the front side (the side with a face) being on top.

[0028] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, the auxiliary body part 20 is configured such that a part 21 exposed from the main body part 10 can be gripped in the first form 1F. Therefore, for example, even when holding the solid bath agent 1 during bathing, it is not necessary to hold the main body part 10 with wet hands, improving the usability.

[0029] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, since a part 21 of the accessory part 20 exposed from the main body part 10 has a rod-shaped part 21a, the part protruding from the main body part 10 can be made small, and almost the entire solid bath agent 1 can be covered by the main body part 10, thereby improving the appearance. Further, since a non-rod-shaped part 21b, for example, a flat part, is formed in the part 21, it can be easily gripped.

[0030] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, the maximum diameter (L1) of the main body part 10 is configured to be longer than the longest side (L2) of the accessory part 20, and the main body part 10 is configured to be larger than the accessory part 20. Therefore, a sufficient amount of the bath agent of the solid bath agent 1 can be ensured.

[0031] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F, the accessory part 20 can be in a self-standing display state because the leg part 22c is connected to and supported by the support part 30. Further, since the support part 30 and the leg part 22c are connected in the first form 1F, when setting it in the display state, it can be easily displayed without particularly requiring an assembly operation.

[0032] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, since the accessory part 20 is configured as a soft member, it is suitable for playing in the bathtub 50 after the main body part 10 has dissolved, and a highly safe character toy can be provided.

[0033] As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical idea. For example, in the above embodiment, the shape of the main body part 10 is spherical, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. In addition, for example, a polyhedron configuration may be used.

[0034] Also, in the above aspect, although the support portion 30 is accommodated in the main body portion 10 in a state where it is assembled with the sub-body portion 20, the present invention is not limited to this configuration and may be provided in separate states. Further, in the above aspect, although the support portion 30 has a structure that engages with the outer surface of the leg portion 22c of the character, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, a configuration may be adopted in which a protrusion is inserted into a hole provided in the leg portion 22c.

[0035] Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the rod-shaped portion 21a may be configured as a part of the head portion 22a, and a part of the head portion 22a may be exposed from the main body portion 10.
