(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A washing machine in the form of accommodating a small lump that activates the cage-shaped shell with a large number of water-permeable voids by contacting it with a washing bath. In the laundry assisting tool to be used by putting it in the washing bath, the laundry assisting ability of the small lumps is sufficiently exerted. According to the present invention, in the laundry assisting tool of the above-mentioned type, the shell 1 is formed into a spherical shape by combining a cage member 11 extending in a longitudinal direction and a cage member 12 extending in a latitudinal direction. It is characterized in that at least approximately half of the upper and lower hemispheres of the shell 1 are louvered blades oriented in the spherical longitudinal direction of the shell 1.

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a form of a cage-shaped floating body with a large number of water passage spaces, and a small lump that activates the shell by contacting with the washing bath. Concerning laundry aids used in.

Recently, it has been recognized that some ceramics have a function of improving the cleaning effect of a washing bath, and a granular material made of such a ceramic is contained in a cage-shaped and water-suspended shell. Laundry aids have come into practical use.

[0003]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the above-mentioned type of laundry aid has a shell body in the form of a cylinder with a ceiling portion and a floor portion having a convex curved surface, and the convex curved ceiling portion and the floor portion are used as a cage type aroma diffuser. It has a large number of water-permeable voids with a common cage structure that can be seen. Depending on the shell body having such a cage structure, it is almost impossible to take the washing bath inside by the swimming of the shell body in the washing bath due to the vortex of the bath. Even if it has voids, it is difficult to bring the washing bath into contact with the ceramic granules in the shell efficiently, that is, to sufficiently exert the washing assisting ability of the ceramic granules inside the shell.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 An object of the present invention is to develop a laundry assisting tool of the above-mentioned type that can sufficiently bring out the laundry assisting ability of the small lumps that come into contact with and activate the washing bath.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a washing aid in which a cage-shaped and water-floating shell having a large number of water passage spaces contains a small lump that activates the shell by contacting it with a washing bath. In, the shell body is formed into a spherical shape by the combination of the first cage member extending in the meridian direction and the second cage member extending in the latitudinal direction, and the upper and lower shell members of the second cage member are formed. What constitutes at least about half of the hemisphere is characterized by a louver blade shape oriented in the spherical longitudinal axis direction of the shell.

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cage-shaped and water-floating shell having a large number of water-permeable voids 2, which has a size that does not spill from the water-permeable voids 2 of the shell 1 and comes into contact with a washing bath. A small amount of small lumps 3 for activating it are accommodated in the shell 1 in bulk. As the floating type of the shell 1, it is advisable to adopt a type in which the float 4 is housed in the shell 1.

The shell 1 is formed into a spherical cage shape by combining a first cage member 11 extending in the meridian direction and a second cage member 12 extending in the latitudinal direction. Among the cage members 12, at least approximately half of each of the upper and lower hemispheres of the shell 1 is formed into a louver blade shape oriented in the spherical longitudinal axis direction of the shell 1.

Reference numeral 13 is a reinforcing rib formed on the inner surface of the shell body 1, and has a shape in which a vertical ring extends at the rear surface of a required cage member and is connected in an orthogonal manner.

When the laundry assisting tool of the present invention is put into a washing bath of a washing machine for washing, the shell 1 rotates and revolves in the washing bath due to the swirling flow of the washing bath, and the shell 1 moves accordingly. The small lumps 3 therein are brought into contact with the washing bath so that they are agitated. This event itself is common.

In the present invention, as described above, the cage form of the shell body 1 containing the small lumps 3 for contacting and activating the washing bath is formed in combination with the first cage member 1. The cage member 12 has a louver vane shape oriented in the spherical longitudinal direction of the shell cage.

With this configuration, when the shell body 1 rotates and revolves revolvingly, depending on the direction of rotation, the louver blade-shaped second cage member 12 that is oriented in a predetermined direction is used to wash the washing bath. In addition to the conventional cage structure, it causes a so-called separated flow in the bath to help the turbulent stirring of the bath flowing into the water passage space 2. Therefore, in the present invention, the contact efficiency of the bath with the small lumps 3 in the shell 1 is improved, and the washing assisting ability of the small lumps can be sufficiently exerted. In order for this action to be successful, it is necessary that the second cage member 12, which constitutes at least approximately half of each of the upper and lower hemispheres of the shell 1, has the louver blade shape shown above.

In the present invention, the shell 1 cage formed by the first and second cage members 11 and 12 is formed into a spherical shape. This is because even if the shell 1 cage is made of a soft material that does not cause abrasion even if it hits the wall of the washing tub, the orientation of the second cage member 12 is maintained and the second cage member 12 is retained. Stabilizes the action of. Spherical cages are more resistant to compression than other types of cages.

[Effect of device]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention achieves the object of developing a laundry aid of the opening description type capable of sufficiently exerting the laundry assisting ability of the small lumps that come into contact with and activate the laundry bath. .

In addition, a soft material that does not cause the abrasion of the washing tub can stably achieve the intended function.
