Synthetic resin-encased salt mound structure

Abstract

Conventional salt mounds were simply made by solidifying refined salt in a mold, making them susceptible to moisture absorption, deformation, and soiling. This necessitated frequent replacement, which was a burden on users. This invention provides a salt mound that can maintain its shape for a long period of time and eliminates the need for frequent replacement. [Solution] Inside an octagonal pyramidal body made of translucent synthetic resin, a first layer 1 made of refined salt, a second layer 2 made of rock salt, a third layer 3 made of natural stone, and a fourth layer 4 made of synthetic resin are formed in layers adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. Each layer is sealed from the outside air with synthetic resin and molded integrally with the body, preventing deliquescence and collapse of the refined salt, and creating a structure that can maintain its shape semi-permanently.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the structure of salt dishes, and more particularly to salt dishes that can maintain their shape for a long time while achieving purification effects.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional salt dishes are generally made by filling purified salt into a dedicated mold and solidifying it on a plate. However, these are prone to absorbing moisture, and over time, their shape collapses and dirt adheres, requiring frequent replacement work.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a salt dish that solves the "difficulty in maintaining shape" and "trouble in replacement" of conventional salt dishes and sustains the visual and functional effects of natural stones.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The salt dish of the present invention has a structure in which purified salt, rock salt, natural stone, and synthetic resin are formed in layers inside a synthetic resin main body having an octagonal pyramid shape and integrally molded.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] Since the purified salt, rock salt, and natural stone are sealed inside the synthetic resin, deliquescence and collapse due to moisture do not occur, and the shape can be maintained semi-permanently. This eliminates the need for frequent replacement as in conventional salt dishes. Also, by enclosing them in layers, a beautiful layered appearance is realized, enhancing the interior quality.

Brief Description of the Drawings

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] The salt mound of this invention has an octagonal pyramidal body made of a translucent synthetic resin. Inside the body, the first, second, third, and fourth layers are stacked from top to bottom. The first layer is made of refined salt. The second layer is adjacent to the first layer below it and is made of rock salt. The third layer is adjacent to the second layer below it and is made of natural stone. The fourth layer is adjacent to the third layer below it and is made of synthetic resin. Each of these layers is sequentially stacked during the casting of the synthetic resin and hardens to become one with the body. As a result, each component is isolated from the outside air, preventing deterioration and collapse due to moisture, and allowing it to maintain its shape for a long period of time. [Examples]

[0008] As a specific embodiment of this invention, a salt mound with the following configuration was created. The main body was an octagonal pyramidal shape with a regular octagonal base. The first layer used refined salt, the second layer used rock salt, the third layer used natural stone, and the fourth layer was made of synthetic resin only. By encasing the refined salt, rock salt, and natural stone in transparent synthetic resin, the color contrast of each layer is visible from the outside, giving it a function as interior decoration. According to this embodiment, it was confirmed that it does not require periodic replacement like conventional salt mounds and can maintain a clean and beautiful state for a long period of more than one year. [Industrial applicability]

[0009] This invention is widely applicable in the manufacturing and sales of religious artifacts and lucky charms, the interior goods industry, and the gift goods industry. In particular, its maintenance-free (no replacement required) convenience matches the demand for religious artifacts and feng shui goods in modern living environments, making it highly commercially valuable.

Claims

[Claim 1] A salt mound structure comprising: a translucent synthetic resin body formed in the shape of an octagonal pyramid; a first layer consisting of refined salt sealed inside the body; a second layer consisting of rock salt sealed inside the body in a layer adjacent to the first layer in the downward direction; a third layer consisting of natural stone sealed inside the body in a layer adjacent to the second layer in the downward direction; and a fourth layer consisting of synthetic resin adjacent to the third layer in the downward direction inside the body, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth layers are sealed from the outside air by the synthetic resin and are integrally molded with the body.
