Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid diffusing device capable of diffusing liquid in a proper quantity while holding an initial appearance regardless if liquid exists in a container or not. SOLUTION: In this liquid diffusing device, a suction core comprising transparent material having plural continuous microgrooves in the surface simulates appearance of a container, and is inserted to be close to an inner wall of the container.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid vaporizing device having a suction wick which makes it possible to volatilize an appropriate amount of a liquid fragrance, a deodorant, etc. while maintaining the beauty of a container or making it more beautiful. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has developed, for the first time, a transparent suction core for a liquid evaporating container such as a fragrance, and has applied for a patent for a liquid evaporating device relating thereto (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-206450). Gazette, JP-A-11-20
No. 6866). Thereby, even if it is a transparent fragrance container, the suction wick does not stand out, and the value of the fragrance as an ornament can be enhanced. However,
There were still issues to be addressed regarding the concealability of the wick. That is, in order to secure a suction amount corresponding to a desired volatilization amount of the liquid and further improve the aesthetic appearance, there has been a problem how to conceal the suction core and integrate it with the container.

[0003]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, a plurality of continuous containers exhibiting a capillarity phenomenon on the surface of a container made from a transparent material by imitating the external shape of the container are described. After providing a fine groove and making a suction core, by inserting the suction core close to the inner wall of the container,
The present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved, and have completed the present invention.

[0004] That is, the present invention is a liquid volatilization device characterized in that a transparent suction core similar to the outer shape of a container is inserted at a position in contact with the inner wall of the container.

[0005] By adopting the above configuration, for example, in the case of a glass container, the left and right ends of the suction core are inserted into the curved surface of the glass container, and when the container is viewed from the front. With the help of its transparency, the wick is hidden so that the presence of the wick cannot be recognized.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a suction wick used in the present invention. It is made by imitating the shape of the container using a transparent material, and a plurality of continuous fine grooves are provided near the left and right ends of the surface from the lower end to the upper part, and the fine grooves described in the left are in contact with the upper volatile pad And a reticulated fine groove cross-connecting with. As the transparent material of the suction core, any appropriate material can be selected as necessary, such as glass having no water absorption, a plastic film, and the like, but preferably, a transparent sheet made of a plastic film is easily processed and is industrially suitable. Is advantageously used.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the product of the present invention. 2 shows a state in which the suction wick described in FIG. 1 is inserted into a glass container. FIG. 3 is a transparent perspective view of FIG.
As can be understood from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, since the upper and lower ends and the left and right ends of the suction core are substantially in the curved surface of the glass container, the suction core is hardly perceived integrally with the outline of the container. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a gate type suction core. A portion of the siphon core shown in FIG. 1 where the fine grooves are provided is cut to obtain a siphon core. FIG. 5 shows a belt-shaped sheet processed into a house-shaped suction core. The plurality of fine grooves are provided on the front or both sides of the belt-shaped sheet. FIG. 6 shows an example of a U-tube type volatilization device. Although a suction core having a plurality of fine grooves is inserted in the same band-shaped sheet as shown in FIG. 5,
Not at all recognized. In addition, the volatilization pad used in the present invention acts as a volatilization surface for the liquid sucked up by the suction core. As the material of the pad, non-woven fabric made of various fibers such as paper, pulp, rayon or soup,
The material is not particularly limited as long as it is a porous material such as a felt or a sponge and has a liquid holding ability.

[0008] The plurality of fine grooves provided in the suction core used in the present invention may be sculptured so that the liquid filled in the liquid evaporating device of the present invention can exhibit a capillary phenomenon. For example, industrially, sculpture, molding,
It must be line cut by a method such as half-cut, and must be processed so that the liquid reaches the volatilization pad continuously from the lowermost end to the upper end of the suction core. As the liquid, a liquid containing an appropriate amount of an aromatic component, a deodorant component, an insecticide and the like is used.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a liquid vaporizing device in which the suction wick inserted into the container is hardly visible from the outside even if it is a transparent container.
