BATH BALL

A bath ball has a ball body and a fixing string. The ball body is meshed and has two ball openings and a wire. The ball openings are each respectively formed in two sides of the ball body. The wire is flexible and stretchably sewed on the ball body along the wire, such that the ball body can be shrunk by the wire to create folds. The fixing string is bundled around the ball body to fix the ball body to keep the ball body from spreading. Therefore, the bath ball can be used to form dense bubbles by rubbing the mesh structure and the folds of the ball body.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bath ball, especially for a bath ball for forming sufficient and dense bubble.

2. Description of Related Art

Generally, the most common cleaning products for bathing are bars of soap or shower gels. The bars of soap or the shower gels are applied on the skin of a user, then bubbles are formed by hand rubbing of the user to wash away dirt on the skin, and afterwards the bubbles are rinsed away from the skin. However, hand rubbing without assistance of any tool often results in the bubbles thus formed being insufficient in amount, and this causes inconvenience in use for bath.

A bath ball is applied as a bath tool to solve the aforementioned inconvenience. With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a conventional bath ball has a ball body 40 and a fixing string 50. The ball body 40 is meshed and has two ball openings 41. The fixing string 50 is tied around the ball body 40 corresponding to the ball openings 41 at the position to fix the ball body 40.

The ball body 40 is formed by a rolled bath belt. The bath belt is elongated and has two ends, a radial direction 42, and a longitudinal direction 43. The ball openings 41 are each respectively formed in the ends of the bath belt. The bath belt is stretched along the radial direction 42, and then is compressed along the longitudinal direction 43. The fixing string 50 is tied along the longitudinal direction 43.

The conventional bath ball is applied to form bubbles by rubbing the meshed ball body 40. Rubbing the conventional bath ball can form more bubbles than by hand rubbing. However, as the conventional bath ball forms bubbles only by rubbing the meshed structure of the ball body 10, the bubbles thus formed are not dense enough for use in bath.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a bath ball, which comprises a ball body and a fixing string.

The ball body is meshed and has two sides, two ball openings each respectively formed in the sides , and a wire being flexible and stretchably sewed on the ball body between the ball openings.

The fixing string is bundled around the ball body along the wire.

The ball body forms folds by combination with the wire, because the ball body can be shrunk by the compressing of the wire. In use, the bath ball is applied with soaps or shower gels with water and then is rubbed by hands. The bath ball can be used to form dense bubbles via rubbing the mesh structure and the folds of the ball body.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a bath ball in accordance with the present invention;

FIG. 2 shows a production process of the bath ball;

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a conventional bath ball; and

FIG. 4 shows a production process of the conventional bath ball.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of a bath ball in accordance with the present invention has a ball body 10 and a fixing string 20.

The ball body 10 is meshed and has two sides, two ball openings 11 and a wire 12. The ball openings 11 are each respectively formed in the sides of the ball body 10. The wire 12 is flexible and is stretchably sewed on the ball body 10 at a middle position between the sides of the ball body 10. The fixing string 20 is bundled around the ball body 10 at a position along the wire 12 to fix the ball body 10.

With reference to FIG. 2, the ball body 10 is formed by a rolled bath belt. The bath belt is elongated and has a longitudinal direction 13. The wire 12 is stretched and is sewed on the bath belt along the longitudinal direction 13. Because the wire 12 is flexible, the wire 12 compresses to return to an original length that is shorter than a length of the bath belt along the longitudinal direction 13. At the same time, the bath belt is shrunk by the compressing wire 12 along the longitudinal direction 13, such that the bath belt forms folds along the longitudinal direction 13. The bath belt is rolled along the longitudinal direction 13 to form the ball body 10, and then the fixing string 20 is bundled around the ball body 10 to keep the ball body 10 from spreading.

The amount of the folds of the bath ball of the present invention is larger than that of the conventional bath ball. In use, soaps or shower gels are applied on the bath ball with water and the bath ball is rubbed by hands of a user. Bubbles can be formed by rubbing the mesh structure of the ball body 10. The folds of the ball body 10 can further make more bubbles than the conventional bath ball does, and the bubbles thus made are denser than the bubbles made by the conventional bath ball.

Claims

1. A bath ball comprising:

a ball body being meshed, being rolled, and having two sides; two ball openings each respectively formed in the sides; and a wire being flexible and stretchably sewed on the ball body between the ball openings, wherein the wire is sewed on a middle portion between the ball openings of the ball body; the ball body is shrunk by the compressing wire to form folds; and a fixing string bundled around the ball body along the wire.
