  The bottom of this type of chemical container is generally convex inward at the center and concave at the periphery to ensure strength, and it is easy for the chemical to remain in the peripheral recess at the bottom of the container. In the wicking member, the hard chemical liquid wicking member has its lower end located at the center of the container bottom and cannot suck up the chemical liquid remaining in the peripheral recess of the container bottom, while it is a soft chemical wicking member Then, the chemical solution in the peripheral recess can be sucked up by allowing the tip to reach the bottom peripheral recess of the container, but in order to suck up the peripheral recess without leaving the peripheral recess, the tip of the chemical suction member is the peripheral recess. It was thin to fit. However, conventionally, since suction is normally performed at one place, there is a problem that if the chemical liquid suction member is made thin, the suction efficiency is lowered. This reduction in the suction efficiency becomes more prominent as the chemical solution decreases and the height to be sucked up increases. Further, when the chemical solution container is placed on an inclined installation surface, there is a problem that the chemical solution remains if the chemical solution suction member is not in contact with the portion where the chemical solution is accumulated.

  In addition, aesthetics are often emphasized particularly in containers such as deodorants and fragrances, but even if you try to make the chemical liquid suction member thin and inconspicuous, the chemical liquid suction member has a container-based aesthetic appearance. There was a case to lose.

  Then, this invention makes it the main objective to provide the chemical | medical solution suction member which can suck up a chemical | medical solution efficiently without a residue.

  Moreover, an object of this invention is to provide the chemical | medical solution suction member which can be set as the structure which does not impair the beauty | look.

  In order to achieve the above object, the chemical liquid suction member according to the present invention is a chemical liquid suction member for sucking up the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container to the volatilization part, and has at least an end portion on the side disposed on the container bottom side. A flexible branch piece branched into two or more, and a suction part formed on at least a part of the chemical liquid suction member so as to suck up the chemical liquid from the tip of the branch piece to the volatilization part by capillary action It is characterized by having.

  The chemical liquid suction member is preferably made of a transparent plastic material. The chemical solution suction member may be one or plural.

  It is preferable that the suction part is constituted by a streak-like groove formed on the surface of the chemical liquid suction member.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the said streak-like groove | channel branches in each branch point on this streak-like groove | channel, and is extended to each of the said branch piece. It is preferable that the branch point of the streak groove is disposed in the vicinity of the branch piece.

  It is preferable that the said chemical | medical solution suction member is arrange | positioned so that the recessed part which exists in the inner periphery of a container bottom part, etc. may be reached.

  According to the chemical liquid sucking member according to the present invention, the flexible branch piece obtained by branching the end portion on the side disposed on the container bottom side into at least two or more absorbs the chemical liquid by capillary action. The liquid medicine can be sucked up from there, and it can be sucked up efficiently without any residue.

  Further, the aesthetics can be enhanced by forming the chemical liquid suction member with a transparent plastic material.

  Embodiments of a chemical liquid suction member according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol was attached | subjected to the same component through all the figures and all the embodiment.

  FIG. 1 shows a deodorant-containing container 2 in which a chemical liquid suction member 1 is accommodated. The chemical liquid suction member 1 functions to suck up the chemical liquid L in the chemical liquid container 2 by capillary action to the volatilization part 3 disposed at the container mouth. The volatilization part 3 should just hold | maintain the sucked chemical | medical solution for a fixed period, and can volatilize, for example, the well-known volatilization part formed with the nonwoven fabric etc. is employable. In addition, the code | symbol 4 of FIG. 1 shows a cap.

  The chemical liquid suction member 1 has a branch piece 1a having flexibility in which an end portion on the side disposed on the bottom side of the container 2 is branched into at least two or more. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the chemical liquid sucking member 1 is an absorbent formed on at least a part of the chemical liquid sucking member 1 so as to suck up the chemical liquid L from the distal end portion of the branch piece 1 a to the volatilization portion 3 by capillary action. It has an upper part 5.

  The chemical liquid sucking member 1 may have a strip shape as in the example shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical shape (see FIG. 3), or the like, and various shapes can be adopted. There may be one chemical solution suction member as shown in the figure, or a plurality of chemical solution suction members.

  It is preferable that the chemical liquid suction member 1 is disposed so as to reach a concave portion existing at the inner peripheral edge or the like of the bottom of the container 2. Therefore, it is sufficient that the branch piece 1a bends itself so that at least its tip can be in contact with two or more locations on the peripheral portion of the container bottom. You may be able to do that. In addition, it is aesthetically preferable that the branch piece 1 a is configured to branch near the bottom of the container 2.

  The suction part 5 may be configured to be able to suck up the chemical liquid by capillary action, but as shown in the illustrated example, the chemical suction member 1 is communicated over the upper end from the tip of the branch piece 1a to the volatile part. It is preferable that it is constituted by streak-like grooves formed on the surface.

  The streak-shaped groove constituting the suction part 5 may be any shape, size, etc., as long as it is a groove capable of sucking up a chemical solution by capillary action, for example, an irregular cross-sectional shape as shown by an enlarged cross section in FIG. It can also be.

  Further, the streak-shaped grooves constituting the suction part 5 are not only formed by a single continuous groove, but also a plurality of adjacent grooves extending in parallel, and a short groove as shown in FIG. The grooves contributing to the capillary phenomenon may be formed in a streak shape as a whole, for example, when it is formed in a jagged shape and extends in a streak shape as a whole.

  It is preferable that the streak-like grooves constituting the suction part 5 are formed so as to branch at a branch point 5a provided in the middle of the streaky groove and extend to each of the branch pieces 1a. It is aesthetically preferable that the branching points 5a of the streak-like grooves constituting the suction part 5 are arranged in the vicinity of the branching piece 1a.

  The chemical liquid suction member 1 can be molded by a general molding method using a plastic material such as PET, PP, and PE. The chemical liquid suction member 1 is particularly preferably formed of a transparent material.

  When the chemical liquid sucking member 1 is formed of such a transparent material, the streaky grooves constituting the suction part 5 are conspicuous as “stripes” on the surface of the chemical liquid sucking member 1, and therefore the number of the aesthetically pleasing parts Should be reduced. Further, for example, when the chemical liquid sucking member 1 has a belt shape as shown in FIG. 2, the portion excluding the branch piece 1a of the chemical liquid sucking member 1 has a stripe at the edge extending in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. If the groove is formed, the streak is less conspicuous and the aesthetic appearance can be enhanced.
