Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing soap,
Specifically, it relates to a method for producing soap in which colored soap objects such as flowers and birds are encapsulated in transparent soap without scattering, melting, or deforming, and in which delamination does not occur after drying. be.

2. Description of the Related Art Soaps in which shaped objects, printed films, etc. made of colored soap are embedded in colored or uncolored transparent soap have been known. The method of embedding these objects, printed films, etc. in transparent soap is to divide the transparent soap into two parts, place the object, printed film, etc. on one half, dissolve the joint surface with water or heat treatment, and then embed the other side. Attempts have been made to overlap two transparent soaps and adhere them together, or to adhere them together using an appropriate adhesive. However, with the former method of adhesion by dissolution, water or hot water may enter the bonded part during use, causing it to peel off from the bonded surface, and a whitening layer may be formed on the bonded surface, which is unfavorable in terms of appearance.
Furthermore, the latter adhesive bonding method has a problem with the safety of the adhesive.

Furthermore, a method of embedding transparent soap by heating and melting it and pouring it around a shaped object made of colored soap is also known, for example, from JP-A-48-7006; The fatal disadvantage of transparent soap is that the shaped objects tend to melt or lose their shape due to the heat of the transparent soap that is heated and molten.
Furthermore, at least the surface portion of the shaped object is melted by the heat, which causes its outline to become unclear, and there is also the problem that when transparent soap is poured, the shaped object scatters and cannot be buried in a predetermined position. In order to eliminate this problem, it has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 36-13770 to cover the modeled object with a gelatin film, but gelatin is different from soap ingredients, and if exposed during use, it will only give a slimy and unpleasant feeling. Otherwise, there is a problem that it absorbs water and swells and becomes white, which significantly impairs its aesthetic appearance.Also, since the shaped object is wrapped in a gelatin film and does not dry, there is a drawback that if it is exposed during use, it will be extremely abraded and wear out rapidly.

The present invention solves these problems and provides a method for producing a soap in which the shaped object is encapsulated as it is and does not cause delamination.

That is, the present invention provides a support made of solidified, undried, transparent soap containing 22 to 28% by weight of alcoholic compounds, 5 to 15% by weight of sugar, 14 to 20% by weight of water, and 37 to 59% by weight of other soap components. A base is filled in the bottom of the cylindrical frame, and a shaped object made of soap colored with the same composition as the support base and dried until the weight becomes 60 to 95% by weight is placed on the support base. and then inject transparent soap, which has the same composition as the support base and is heated and melted at a temperature at which the alcohol compound does not evaporate, into the cylindrical frame to envelop the shaped object;
It is characterized in that when the injected transparent soap solidifies, it is removed from the cylindrical frame together with the support base and dried.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a soap manufactured according to the present invention, and the soap designated by reference numeral 1 consists of a main body 10 made of transparent soap, petals 22 and leaves 23 embedded therein. It is composed of a model 2 made of artificial flowers, and the model 2 is made of colored soap.

The colored soap used to make Sculpture 2 is an alcoholic compound.

~20% by weight) 28~61% by weight (preferably 37~20% by weight) of saponified products such as raw oils and fats and higher fatty acids and other soap components
59% by weight), and is made by adding appropriate amounts of colorants and fragrances, and if necessary, pearl pigments to this soap base. In addition, 10% by weight or more of the alcohol compound is glycerin, 60% by weight or more is ethanol, and 30% by weight or less is ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polypropylene glycol,
It consists of one or more compounds selected from maltitol, sorbitol, and aliphatic higher alcohols.

Undried soap 20 made of colored soap having such a composition is shaved with a plane 101 as shown in FIG. 2 to form a thin piece 21 having a predetermined thickness of, for example, 0.5 to 3.0 mm. Next, a small piece is extracted from this thin piece 21 using a cutting die 102 as shown in FIG. It creates things such as the creation of objects. Next, add this assembly to the
The molded article 2 is obtained by drying to 65 to 95%, preferably 60 to 80%.

Here, if the degree of drying is low, the melting point is low and it is soft, so it is extremely easy to soften due to the heat of the molten transparent soap that envelops the object 2, causing deformation and loss of shape, and there is a risk of further melting, which is the opposite. If the degree of drying is too high, the hardness will increase and there will be a significant difference in hardness between the transparent soap and the surrounding transparent soap immediately after manufacture, and there is a risk of deformation when stamping for molding. I let it happen.

Next, the transparent soap that makes up the main body 10 is
It is made up of a soap base with the same composition as the soap base from which it is made, with an appropriate amount of fragrance added, and can be uncolored or colored as desired.

This transparent soap is melted by heating to 60°C or higher, preferably 65 to 75°C, poured into the cooling cylinder 103, left to stand, or cooled and solidified using a cooling device, and then the transparent bar-shaped soap is extruded from the cooling cylinder 103 by an extrusion rod 104. 10a (see Figure 4). This transparent bar-shaped soap 10a is cut into a thickness corresponding to a predetermined weight to form a support base 10b.

The transparent soap was heated to the above temperature range in consideration of the melting point of the raw material fatty acid, the boiling point of ethanol (78.3° C.), and workability due to viscosity.

The support base 10b is filled into the bottom of a cylindrical frame 105 with an inner diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the cooling cylinder 103 without drying, and the shaped object 2 is placed on the support base 10b, and the bottom of the support base 105 is filled with the support base 10b. 10b. Next, a transparent soap having the same composition as the support base 10b and heated and melted at 60 DEG C. or higher, preferably 65 DEG to 75 DEG C., is poured into the cylindrical frame 105 to enclose the object 2 (see FIG. 5).

The molten transparent soap 11 injected into the cylindrical frame 105 melts and integrates the surface portion of the undried support base 10b to form the main body 10 containing the modeled object 2; 2 is moderately dried due to the evaporation of water and ethanol, and its melting point is higher than that of undried soap depending on the degree of dryness, so it is deformed, loses its shape, and melts by the injected transparent soap 11. Therefore, it is buried in the main body 10 while being placed and fixed on the support base 10b without the outline becoming unclear.

When the injected transparent soap 11 solidifies, the support base 10b and the injected transparent soap 11 are integrated, and the shaped object 2
The main body 10 in which the soap is embedded is pulled out from the cylindrical frame 105, the irregularities on the top surface of the injected transparent soap 11 are cut off to give a predetermined weight, and the body 10 is placed in a drying frame 106 and placed in a drying room.
Dry for 40-50 days, 65-80% by weight of the specified weight
By doing so, the desired soap 1 can be obtained (see Fig. 6).

Note that the cross-sectional shapes of the cooling cylinder 103 and the cylindrical frame 105 are not limited to circular shapes, but can be arbitrary shapes such as triangular, quadrangular, polygonal, and oval shapes.

According to the present invention as described above, the modeled object is placed and fixed on the support base made of transparent soap, so that when molten transparent soap is injected, it does not dissipate or move and is buried in a predetermined position. Moreover, since the support base and the transparent soap poured onto it have the same composition and the support base is not dried, the contact surfaces between the two can be easily and completely integrated by melting the top surface of the support base. Even after drying, the molded object is completely encapsulated without the risk of delamination due to water intrusion or impact, and since the refractive index is the same, it does not give a strange feeling. In particular, in the present invention, the shaped object is properly dried before being embedded in the molten transparent soap, so the melting point of the shaped object increases and the hardness increases depending on the degree of drying, and the heat and flow of the transparent soap that is injected increases. Therefore, it will not be deformed, lose its shape, or melt, and will be implanted as it is with a clear outline. This is clear from the relationship between the degree of drying of the model and the melting temperature of transparent soap shown in Figure 7. For example, when the melting temperature of transparent soap is 65℃, water + ethanol is about 54% If the residual weight ratio of the modeled object is less than about 60%, it will not be deformed, deformed, or melted by the heat and flow of the injected transparent soap. It can be seen that the modeled object should be dry as long as the residual weight ratio is less than about 95%.

Therefore, if the melting temperature of the transparent soap and the remaining weight percentage of the shaped object are appropriately selected based on the relationship between the degree of drying of the shaped object and the melting temperature of the transparent soap shown in FIG. soap can be easily produced. In addition, according to the present invention, the degree of drying of the modeled object is set to an appropriate level rather than excessively, so that there is no significant difference in hardness between the modeled object and the transparent solidified soap, and when stamping after solidification, This makes it possible to prevent the object from being deformed. Furthermore, although the shaped object is directly encapsulated in the transparent soap and has already dried, both the shaped object and the transparent soap become dry after the final drying process, which may cause foreign discomfort during use or This will not cause problems such as excessive wear on parts.

Next, examples of the present invention will be shown. The blending ratio is weight%
