[0009] (First Aspect) Hereinafter, a first aspect of a solid bath agent representing one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the solid bath agent 1. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the solid bath agent.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, in the first form 1F, the solid bath agent 1 has a shape in which a substantially spherical main body 10 and a part of a substantially spherical secondary body 20 (the second secondary body 22) are connected. For example, the spherical main body 10 has an appropriate color and small irregularities on its outer surface 10s such that it is rough. Due to these rough irregularities, the surface area is increased to form a configuration that is easy to dissolve, and the main body 10 is made of a water-soluble material whose color dissolves into the surrounding water or hot water. Note that a convex portion 10j is formed on the outer surface 10s so as to go around the outer circumference. This convex portion 10j is, for example, a connecting portion at the time of molding when combining the hemispheres 11 and 12 in the formation of the main body 10.

[0011] In the first form 1F before the main body 10 of the solid bath agent 1 dissolves, as shown in FIG. 2, it includes a secondary body 20 with a part thereof enclosed in the main body 10. That is, the secondary body 20 includes a first secondary body 21 housed within the main body 10 and a second secondary body 22 located outside the main body 10. The first secondary body 21 and the second secondary body 22 are connected by a first connector 21b. Here, the first connector 21b is formed of a flexible string and is housed in a state of being gathered at one location within the main body 10.

[0012] The first secondary body 21 has a shape imitating a fish, and the second secondary body 22 has a shape imitating a float used for fishing, for example, the main body portion 22a has a spherical shape. The first connector 21b connects the lower end side of the main body portion 22a of the second secondary body 22 and the mouth portion of the fish of the first secondary body 21. Further, a second locking portion 22b is formed on the second secondary body 22 on the side opposite to the side to which the first connector 21b is connected. This second locking portion 22b has, for example, a ring shape that can be hooked by a first locking portion 23c described later.

[0013] In the first embodiment 1F, since the main body 10 is spherical as described above, it is configured to be rollable. Further, the main body 10 is made of a colored and opaque bath agent, and the first secondary body 21 housed inside cannot be seen from the outside in the first embodiment 1F. However, the second secondary body 22 exposed from the main body 10 constitutes a portion that can be gripped, for example, by a child's hand.

[0014] The secondary body 20 is made of a soft, non-water-soluble material having flexibility, such as synthetic resin or rubber. The first secondary body 21 is made of a material with a large specific gravity so as to sink in water, while the second secondary body 22 is made of a material with a small specific gravity so as to float in water.

[0015] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the third secondary body 23. As shown in the figure, the third secondary body 23 is a slender rod-shaped member imitating a fishing rod. One end is slightly thicker to form a gripping portion 23a that is easy to hold by hand. At the tip of the thin side, a second coupler 23b imitating a fishing line is provided, and at the tip portion of the second coupler 23b, a first locking portion 23c imitating a fishing hook is provided. That is, the first locking portion 23c has a shape with a hooked tip and is configured to be able to hook the second locking portion 22b of the second secondary body 22. Also, the second coupler 23b is made of the same string material as the first coupler 21b.

[0016] FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example when the solid bath agent 1 shown in FIG. 1 is put into the bathtub 50. In the solid bath agent 1, the main body 10 is configured to have a weight that sinks in water. Thus, when this solid bath agent 1 is put into the bathtub 50, it sinks as shown in FIG. 4 together with the second secondary body 22 that is configured to float in water. In the initial state of being put into the bathtub 50, due to the weight of the main body 10, the second secondary body 22 also sinks into the bathtub 50 together, for example, to the bottom 52 of the bathtub.

[0017] FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a state where the first secondary body 21 is covered with the bath agent and the second secondary body 22 is rising. After that, the dissolution of the main body 10 progresses. First, the bath agent around the first connector 21b housed near the outer surface 10s melts. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the second sub-body 22 begins to float due to its buoyancy. The balance between the buoyancy of the second sub-body 22 and the sinking force of the first sub-body 21 is set such that, for example, when a large amount of the main body 10 remains, the sinking force is large, while as the dissolution of the main body 10 progresses, the floating force becomes larger. As shown in the figure, when the main body 10 remains around the first sub-body 21, the character of the main body 10 cannot be seen at all.

[0018] FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing an example of the state of the sub-body 20 after the main body 10 has dissolved. After being put into the bathtub 50, as time passes, the dissolution of the main body 10 progresses, and the visible part of the character gradually increases. As shown in FIG. 6, the actual state of the character gradually becomes clear. However, since it is only viewed from above the bathtub 50, depending on the shape of the character, the shape of the first sub-body 21 may not be clearly confirmed from the color of the dissolved bath agent and the rippling bathtub 50. In this state, the second sub-body 22 is floating on the water surface 51, and the first sub-body 21 is sinking in a state as if pulling the first connector 21b. As a result, the second sub-body 22 is in a state with its second locking portion 22b facing upward.

[0019] FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an example of a way to play using the sub-body 20. The third sub-body 23 is used for the second sub-body 22 floating in the bathtub 50. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, although the second locking portion 22b protrudes above the water surface, in addition to the fact that the first locking portion 23c is hanging by the second connector 23b of the string and the water surface 51 is swaying, it is difficult to hook as shown in the figure. As a result, it is possible to enjoy the feeling of fishing using the sub-body 20. Also, when the first locking portion 23c is configured to sink in water, the first connector 21b can be hooked by this first locking portion 23c. As a result, even young children can enjoy fishing.

[0020] As described above, in the second form 2F in which the main body 10 is dissolved, the first sub-body 21 sinks in the bathtub 50 (liquid), and the second sub-body 22 floats on the water surface 51. Therefore, as a way of playing by associating the floating object with the sinking object, it becomes possible to enjoy fishing. In particular, in the first form 1F, while the first sub-body 21 is not visible in the main body 10 in appearance, when the second sub-body 22 is configured to be visible outside the main body 10, only a part is visible, so the way of enjoying imagining what kind of character is included in the main body 10 can be added as an element of enjoying fishing for a production.

[0021] Furthermore, since the first sub-body 21 imitating the main character can be in a state of sinking in the bathtub, when it is sinking in the bathtub 50, it can be in a state where the character cannot be clearly confirmed, and the imagination can be further stimulated.

[0022] In the solid bath agent 1 of this aspect, the first sub-body 21 and the second sub-body 22 are connected by the string of the first connector 21b. While the first sub-body 21 is made into the character of a fish, the second sub-body 22 is made into a float, enabling a way of playing fishing. In particular, by using the third sub-body 23 as a fishing rod, it can be enjoyed as a fishing play toy.

[0023] Also, the first connector 21b is in a loose state (a state where it is compactly bundled) in the first form 1F. Therefore, in the initial state when it is put into the bathtub 50, the entire solid bath agent 1 sinks once. Then, as the dissolution of the main body 10 progresses, the bath agent around the first connector 21b melts and the string can extend, so the step of the second sub-body 22 rising can be enjoyed.

[0024] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, in the third sub-body part 23 imitating a fishing rod, since the gripping part 23a and the first locking part 23c imitating a fishing hook are connected by the second connecting tool 23b of a string, when playing as fishing tackle, the direction of the first locking part 23c cannot be stabilized. As a result, the operation of hooking the first locking part 23c on the second locking part 22b becomes difficult, and a production that can enjoy the fishing operation can be achieved. Further, since the second connecting tool 23b and the first connecting tool 21b are made of the same material, the types of parts can be reduced.

[0025] In the second sub-body part 22 of this embodiment, since the second locking part 22b is provided on the side opposite to the side where the first connecting tool 21b is connected, in the state where the second sub-body part 22 floats on the hot water surface 51, it is pulled downward by the first sub-body part 21 and faces upward. As a result, the second locking part 22b can float in a state where the first locking part 23c can be hooked.

[0026] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, in the first form 1F, since the second sub-body part 22 is exposed from the main body part 10 and can be gripped, 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, and the usability can be improved.

[0027] Further, in the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, in the first form 1F, when the main body part 10 is configured in a spherical shape that can roll, it can roll and play.

[0028] In the solid bath agent 1 of this embodiment, since the sub-body part 20 is configured as a soft member, it is suitable for playing in the bathtub 50 after the main body part 10 is dissolved, and a character toy with high safety can be provided.

[0029] (Second embodiment) Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the first form 1F of the solid bath agent 1.

[0030] The solid bath agent 1 of the second aspect shown in Fig. 8, in the first form 1F, like the first aspect shown in Fig. 1, all of the auxiliary body part 20 is accommodated within the main body part 10 without a part of the auxiliary body part 20 being exposed from the main body part 10.

[0031] Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the solid bath agent 1 shown in Fig. 8, and Fig. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the solid bath agent 1 shown in Fig. 8 when viewed from a direction different from Fig. 9.

[0032] In this aspect, the auxiliary body part 20 of this aspect is accommodated within the main body part 10 in a state where the first auxiliary body part 21 and the second auxiliary body part 22 are in contact with each other and close to each other. The first auxiliary body part 21, which imitates the main character fish, is configured to be larger than the second auxiliary body part 22 and is arranged at the center of the main body part 10. Also, since the main character is a fish, for example, as shown in Fig. 10, its thickness structure is relatively flat.

[0033] Also, the second auxiliary body part 22 of this aspect is, for example, disk-shaped and has a relatively flat shape as shown in Fig. 10. On the other hand, the second auxiliary body part 22 can be appropriately set according to the shape of the first auxiliary body part 21, such as when it is provided in the widest space or the narrowest space between the first auxiliary body part 21 and the outer surface 10s. That is, by changing the amount of the bath agent around the second auxiliary body part 22, the timing at which the second auxiliary body part 22 floats up can be advanced or delayed.

[0034] As described above, in the solid bath agent 1 of this aspect, since the entire auxiliary body part 20 is not visible, it is completely unknown what will float after being put into the bathtub 50, and a more secretive and enjoyable way can be achieved.

[0035] Although the aspects of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be appropriately changed within the scope of its technical idea. For example, in the above aspect, the shape of the main body part 10 is spherical or disk-shaped, but it is not limited to this configuration, and other configurations, such as a polyhedron configuration, may also be used.

[0036] In addition, in the above-described aspect, the case where the first coupler 21b can be hooked by the first locking portion 23c has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first locking portion 23c may be configured to float in water so that the first coupler 21b cannot be hooked by the first locking portion 23c.
