[Figure 8] This is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a modified example of the internal state of the accessory body. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0009] The following describes an embodiment of a solid bath additive representing one aspect of the present invention, with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a solid bath additive 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the solid bath additive 1 has a water-soluble main body 10 with a rotatable spherical outer surface 10s, and a flat sub-body 30, for example, in the shape of a tablet or disc, is enclosed within the main body 10. Adjacent to the sub-body 30, there are two toy parts 20, for example, a first part 21 and a second part 22.
[0011] The first part 21 and the second part 22 are rectangular plate members and are made of exactly the same shape. The first part 21 and the second part 22 are made of, for example, synthetic resin or wood, and are water-insoluble and float on liquid (bathwater 50). On the other hand, the sub-body 30, together with the main body 10, is soluble and can change the color of the bathwater 50 (see Figure 5) to a specific color as a bath additive. Here, the outer surface 10s of the main body 10 is made of a material that does not float on water, for example, has a rough, uneven surface, and the solid bath additive 1 is made to sink in water.
[0012] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the inside of the solid bath additive 1 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the main body 10 contains a dye that produces a first color C1 when dissolved, while the sub-body 30 contains another dye that produces a second color C2, which is different from the first color C1. The sub-body 30 is also configured to float on water. Therefore, when the solid bath additive 1 is added to the bathwater 50, as will be described later, the color at the initial stage when it begins to dissolve in the bathwater 50 is different from the color afterward. The sub-body 30 is also positioned so that its center is located at the center point Ce of the main body 10.
[0013] Furthermore, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are provided adjacent to each other in the center of the main body 10, for example, sandwiching the sub-body 30, without contacting each other. Moreover, as shown in Figure 2, similar to the sub-body 30, they are directly contained within the main body 10 without the use of any special storage means (e.g., a case or bag).
[0014] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the first part 21, and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the second part 22.
[0015] The parts 20 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are each in the form of a flat plate with patterns of character parts D1 and D2 of, for example, a fashionable woman depicted thereon. In the illustration, only the front surface side of the parts 20 is shown, but the same pattern may be present on the back surface side, or other patterns may be present. Each pattern is a different pattern selected from among a number of patterns.
[0016] Also, the parts 20 and the sub-body part 30 are of different colors (C2). For example, the parts 20 are composed of the same or the same series of colors (C1) as the main body part 10. In this embodiment, the part of the same color as the main body part 10 is, for example, the background part 28 of the character parts D1 and D2.
[0017] Here, the same color does not mean that all the colors of the parts 20 are the same or of the same series, but rather that a part thereof is the same or of the same series and can evoke a color-related association with the main body part 10. Therefore, as shown in the illustration, the background part 28 of the character parts D1 and D2 may not be of the same or the same series of colors. For example, this may be the case with the hair color, clothing, etc. of the character parts D1 and D2.
[0018] The first parts 21 and the second parts 22 are each provided with a hole part 23. This hole part 23 is configured, for example, as a substantially annular protrusion protruding from one short side of the parts 20, and this protruding part has a through hole 23h in the part thickness direction.
[0019] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the solid bath agent 1 is put into the bath water 50. The solid bath agent 1 is configured such that the main body part 10 has a weight that sinks in water as described above. As a result, when the solid bath agent 1 is put into the bath water 50, as shown in FIG. 5 together with the sub-body part 30 that floats in water and the parts 20 that also float in water, it sinks to the bottom 61 of, for example, a bathtub 60 (see FIG. 6). In this sunken state, the main body part 10 melts away from its outer surface 10s.
[0020] From the outer surface 10s of the main body 10, components of the first color C1 rise to the surface, for example, along with air bubbles 18. The discoloration of the bath water 50 begins in the first stage, changing to the first color C1 from the water surface 50a or close to the water surface 50a. In this initial stage, the auxiliary body 30 has not yet dissolved.
[0021] Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the sub-body portion 30 and the part portion 20 are floating on the molten metal surface 50a. In the first stage, when the solid bath additive 1 begins to dissolve, the bathwater 50 becomes the first color C1. Subsequently, as the main body 10 dissolves, the parts 20 and the sub-body 30 float to the surface 50a of the bathwater. The sub-body 30 then begins to dissolve, with its dissolved fragments 30a spreading around it. As a result, with the parts 20 floating on the surface 50a of the bathwater, it begins to change to the second color C2 of the second stage. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the color around the parts 20 changes to the second color (C2). In contrast, the parts 20 is a color of the first color (C1), so it stands out on the surface 50a of the bathwater.
[0022] Furthermore, the part portion 20 that floats on the molten surface 50a floats up with the first part portion 21 and the second part portion 22 separated, as shown in the figure. This is because, as mentioned above, the first part portion 21 and the second part portion 22 are not positioned to be in contact with each other, so the two parts 21 and 22 do not stick together and float up separated.
[0023] Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of how to play with part 20. Since part 20 consists of a pair of parts, a first part 21 and a second part 22, as shown in Figure 7, a strap 25 such as a chain can be passed through the hole 23 to connect them. The first part 21 and the second part 22 do not have a structure that connects them directly, and they can be attached to a bag or the like and played with in a connected state via the strap 25.
[0024] Figure 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a modified example of the enclosed state of the sub-body portion 30. The solid bath additive 1 shown in Figure 8 has an internal space SP formed inside it. A part 20 and a sub-part 30 are housed within this internal space SP. In this case, the sub-part 30 is positioned between the first part 21 and the second part 22. Even in this case, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are configured not to come into contact with each other.
[0025] As described above, in the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, a dissolving sub-part 30 is provided within the dissolving main body part 10, which enables a color change (first color C1, second color C2) of the liquid (bath water 50).
[0026] Furthermore, in the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, if the auxiliary body 30 is made of a lighter mass than the main body 10 and is light enough to float in the bath water 50, the dissolving color can be concentrated near the surface of the water 50a.
[0027] In the solid bath additive 1 according to the above embodiment, the auxiliary body portion 30 is directly enclosed within the main body portion 10, so that the dissolution of the auxiliary body portion 30 can begin following the dissolution of the main body portion 10.
[0028] In the solid bath additive 1 according to the above embodiment, the auxiliary body 30 is positioned in the center of the main body 10, so that the second color (second color C2) can be released when the color density from the main body 10 is at its maximum.
[0029] In the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are provided with different character designs D1 and D2, allowing for a variety of designs to be enjoyed. Furthermore, these different designs are selected from a large number of available designs, so for example, if the designs are related to character designs D1 and D2, it is possible to create a storyline of the characters by combining the selected designs.
[0030] In the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, the main body 10 is configured to be spherical and rotatable before dissolution, so that it can be rolled around and played with.
[0031] In the solid bath additive 1 according to the above embodiment, the sub-body portion 30 is configured in a flattened shape, which allows the color change of the water surface 50a to be concentrated on the water surface 50a when it is floating on the surface. As a result, even if the sub-body portion 30 is small, the color change can be enjoyed.
[0032] In the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, when enjoying the change in the color of the bathwater 50 as the sub-body part 30 emits a second color C2 against the first color C1 of the main body part 10, the appearance of the part part 20 on the surface of the water 50a makes it possible to create a performance that associates it with the character depicted on the part part 20.
[0033] In the solid bath additive 1 according to the above embodiment, the part portion 20 is directly enclosed in the central part of the main body portion 10 in close proximity to the sub-body portion 30, so that the timing of the floating and dissolution of the sub-body portion 30 and the timing of the floating of the part portion 20 can be made to be approximately simultaneous or close together.
[0034] In the solid bath additive 1 according to the above embodiment, the sub-body part 30 is configured to change the color of the liquid (bathwater 50) to a color corresponding to the character parts D1 and D2 of the parts part 20 after dissolution in the liquid (bathwater 50) has begun, thereby allowing the appearance of the character to be expressed through a change in color.
[0035] Furthermore, in the solid bath additive 1 of the above embodiment, the part portion 20 is made of a different color from the sub-body portion 30, which allows for a color scheme that stands out against the second color C2.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the solid bath additive 1 is a spherical body part 10, but it is not limited to this configuration, and may be configured in various shapes such as octahedron, hexahedron, tetrahedron, etc.
[0037] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the shape of the sub-body portion 30 is a tablet or a disc shape, but it is not limited to these, and for example, if it is a flattened shape, it may be a triangle, a square, or a polygon.
[0038] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the part 20 is shown as the character's face, D1 and D2, but the design is not limited to this, and could be, for example, a design of the character's clothing.
[0039] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the hole 23 is configured to protrude from the short side of the part 20, but it is not limited to this configuration, and may be a through hole provided at the corner of the part 20, for example.
[0040] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes a way of playing in which the two parts 20 are connected by a strap 25, it is not limited to this, and for example, the first part 21 and the second part 22 may be used with the strap 25 attached separately.
[0041] Furthermore, although the above embodiment shows a single sub-body portion 30, it is not limited to this configuration and may include multiple sub-body portions 30 of different colors.
[0042] Furthermore, although the above embodiment uses two parts 20, a configuration with only one part 20 is also possible.
