DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chair, and more particularly, to a chair capable of exhibiting a predetermined fragrance effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of fragrances that can be arranged in a room are commercially available. The fragrance is filled in a predetermined container, and the fragrance amount can be appropriately adjusted by, for example, changing the exposed amount of a member having impregnating properties.

[0003]

However, since the conventional fragrance is filled in a dedicated container, there is no other way than to use it on furniture or the like existing in the indoor space.
For this reason, it is difficult to adjust the texture, the color, and the like of the furniture, and the decorative balance between the furniture and the furniture may be unbalanced, and the appearance of the furniture may be impaired.

[0004] In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned fragrance, there is a tendency that after setting the amount of expression of a member having impregnating properties, the adjustment of the amount of expression is troublesome or forgotten. strong. As a result, the amount of expression becomes constant without depending on the temperature and humidity, so that unnecessary fragrance components are released and the fragrance effect is reduced in a relatively short period of time.

[0005] By the way, there are various kinds of fragrances, but recently, attempts have been made to make natural scents drift in living room spaces.
For example, it is perceived that the scent that is slightly drifting in forests is pleasant to humans because it has a mental effect that relieves stress and gives peace to many people. Here, the main component of the odor emitted by the forest trees is a substance called terpene or phytoncide, which is said to have an effect of relieving fatigue to humans and improving blood circulation.

[0006] Therefore, there has been proposed a construction example in which such a terpene is contained in an adhesive, and the indoor wall surface is cross-bonded with the adhesive.

[0007] However, when a terpene-containing adhesive is used for adhering the cloth, the area exposed to the air is large, which tends to increase the scent release rate in combination with the air permeability of the cloth. However, there is an inconvenience that it is not necessarily suitable for maintaining the forest scent for a long time. This is considered to be due to the fact that the cloth itself does not have an obstructive property. In particular, when indoor ventilation is performed periodically, such inconvenience becomes more remarkable.

[0008]

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for storing fragrance without using a special dedicated container, and for appropriately adjusting the amount of fragrance, so that fragrance can be diffused from an inconspicuous place for as long as possible. To provide a chair that can be continued for a long time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an aromatic structure of a drawer which can be used in the above-mentioned environment in which terpene is used as a fragrance and the emission of the terpene gives a human.

[0010]

To achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a chair provided with a seat and a backrest provided above the seat, wherein a predetermined fragrance is provided inside the backrest. And a vent hole through which the fragrance component of the fragrance can be released through the inside and outside of the backrest.

[0011] The present invention also provides a chair provided with a seat disposed above a leg, wherein a predetermined fragrance is disposed inside the seat and the fragrance is passed through the inside and outside of the seat. A configuration in which a vent hole capable of releasing the fragrance component of the agent is provided is also adopted.

Further, the present invention relates to a chair provided with a seat arranged on the upper part of a leg so as to be adjustable in height, wherein the leg has a concave portion capable of accommodating a predetermined fragrance on its upper end surface. When the seat is set to the lower limit, the recess is closed, while when the seat is set to the raised position with respect to the leg, the recess is opened and the fragrance component is released. A configuration of being provided so as to be able to discharge can also be adopted.

[0013] The present invention also provides a chair comprising a plurality of legs, a seat disposed above the legs, and an adjuster provided below each leg. A downward recess capable of containing a predetermined fragrance is provided on its lower end surface, and when the adjuster is set to the upper limit, the downward recess is closed, while the adjuster is set to a lower position with respect to the leg. In this case, it is also preferable to adopt a configuration in which the downward concave portion is opened to release the fragrance component.

According to the configuration of the present invention, since the fragrance can be stored in a position invisible from the outside, the fragrance can be stored without using a special container or the like for storing the fragrance.
The fragrance effect can be sufficiently exerted from inconspicuous places. In addition, since the concave portion is provided so as to be able to be closed as needed, it is possible to secure the continuity of the fragrance for a long period of time by using the closeability.

[0015]

Further, it is preferable that the fragrance is a terpene which mainly emits an odor emitted from a forest tree. As a result, it becomes possible to give the person using the chair the mental effects of the terpene on the person who uses the chair, and if the chair is used at the time of learning, even if there are individual differences, it will contribute not least to the learning effect Can be expected.

Note that the terms directional or positional in this specification are used with reference to FIG. 3 unless otherwise specified.
