Description

The present invention relates to a quick-release device that can emit a volatile material when necessary by a simple operation.

Examples of volatile substances include fragrances, which are prepared by appropriately blending natural animal / vegetable fragrances such as perfumes and eau de cologne and synthetic fragrances and dissolving them in alcohol. Generally, the fragrance | flavoring rate of the fragrance | flavor with respect to alcohol is 15-25%. On the other hand, the cologne is about 2-7%. Volatile substances include drugs and include insecticides, insect repellents or repellents.

Prior art related to the present invention includes Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-207726 and the title of the invention “divergence devices such as drugs and fragrances”.
According to the present invention, a breakable glass ampoule filled with a medicine or a fragrance is accommodated in a flexible container provided with one or more diverging holes and an absorbent material. In this structure, the breakable glass ampoule is broken, the fragrance is once absorbed by the absorbent material, and then the fragrance is emitted through the divergence hole. Therefore, the glass ampoule had a defect that it did not smell immediately after breaking. In addition, some drugs and fragrances have low volatility, and some require several hours for the scent to come out. Further, in the form inserted (wrapped) in artificial flowers, stuffed animals, etc., contact with the outside air is limited, and there is a disadvantage that volatilization is further delayed.

Insecticides among drugs include pyrethroids such as insecticide chrysanthemum and synthetic pyrethrin. Among these are allethrin, phthalthrin, and resmethrin.

Insect repellents or repellents include, but are not limited to, phthalic acid dimethyl ester, 2-ethyl-1.3-hexanediol, cymethyl carbamate, N, N-diethylsuccinamic acid normal propyl ester, and the like. .
This insect repellent also includes an insect repellent for textile products.

Air fresheners use liquid air fresheners, including perfumes, eau de cologne, and those that give a healing odor. A glass container is best as a breakable container. In the case of glass, use a thin container that can be broken by the force of a finger. The optimum thickness of the glass is 0.1 to 0.4 mm.
By using glass ampules, quality stability is maintained for a long period of time even under conditions of high temperature and high humidity in chemicals and fragrances containing alcohols and other volatile components.

An absorptive material is a material made of natural or synthetic fiber or porous material, and has a function of temporarily absorbing a drug and the like and a function of preventing a glass piece from popping out.
As shown in FIG. 1, it may be mounted near the diverging hole or may be wound around a glass ampoule.

In use, the glass ampoule inside the flexible container is bent with the force of a finger or the like, and the chemicals in the separated state are mixed to generate gas. (Volatile component) passes through the absorbent material together with the gas and blows out from the divergence hole of the container.

A small diverging hole is provided at one or both ends of a cylindrical flexible container having a length of 20 mm to 200 mm, an outer diameter of 3 mm to 12 mm, and a thickness of 0.2 mm to 3 mm. Pack absorbent material inside the diverging holes.
First. 2nd. The third breakable container is made of a glass ampule and has an elongated shape along the container, and the sealing opening is sharp. To fill and seal ampules with liquids containing volatile components such as drugs, the best method is to narrow the tip opening of the ampoule, add the liquid agent, and then melt and seal the opening with heat for a moment. . However, it is not limited to this manufacturing method.
As described above, since the entire container has an elongated cylindrical shape, it can be easily bent by hand, so that the glass ampule can be easily broken.

Embodiments of the volatile material emitting tool are shown in FIGS. Note that glass ampoules were used for all of the breakable containers shown in FIGS.

In FIG. 1, a first fragile container 1 is filled with an aqueous solution of a volatile substance. Citric acid and baking soda are added to ethanol and solidified (tablet) 7 in the container. When the breakable container is broken and the aqueous solution of volatile substances comes into contact with the tablet, a chemical reaction occurs immediately. Proceeds and generates carbon dioxide gas. The reaction can be carried out gently by solidifying citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. The gas and the volatile substance are in good contact with each other, and the volatile matter is forced to pass through the absorbent material 3 together with the gas and is discharged from the diverging hole 2 to the outside air.

When the container of FIG. 1 is inverted and turned upside down, the diverging hole 2 becomes the lower part, and in this case, a solution in which volatile substances are dissolved together with gas and volatile components also leaks out. If the leaked solution is citric acid, baking soda and water, it will have little effect on the human body or equipment.
Further, the form in which the mixture of citric acid and baking soda is attached to the outer wall surface of the first splittable container is the same as the presence of the mixture and does not exhibit a special effect and belongs to the present invention.
In addition, when the volume of the absorbent material arranged so as to close the diverging hole 2 is 1 or more times the volume of the volatile substance, the solution does not leak out.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the first fragile container 4 is filled with a volatile substance, the second fragile container 5 is filled with water, and the mixture is made into a powder 8 with a mixture of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. FIG. 3 shows a tablet-like 7 made of a mixture of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. The two fragile containers are positioned in parallel. When the flexible container is bent by hand, the two fragile containers are broken at the same time.
In the above embodiment, one chemical that generates gas by mixing two kinds of chemicals is accommodated in the second fragile container, and the other chemical is accommodated in the flexible container outside the second fragile container. The wording is that one chemical in the second splittable container is water, and the other chemical is a mixture of citric acid and baking soda and is in tablet form or powder.

FIG. 4 shows a case in which a volatile substance is filled in the first breakable container 4, an aqueous citric acid solution is filled in the second breakable container 5, and an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution is filled in the third breakable container 6. They are housed in contact with each other.

FIG. 5 is divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber with the gas permeable membrane 8 as a boundary, and the upper chamber contains a first fragile container, and the lower chamber is filled with a citric acid aqueous solution and a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution. It is the thing of the structure which accommodated the 3rd fragile container filled with.

Alcohol preparations are often used for the disinfection of the injection site because of quick attack and quick drying properties. In order to ensure the disinfecting effect, a sufficient amount of disinfecting ethanol, 70% isopropanol, isopropanol-added ethanol solution, etc. is applied and the contact time is allowed to dry.
Alcohol cotton used for the disinfection site is adjusted in advance to a universal pan. If there is a sufficient amount of alcohol in the universal bowl, it can be used continuously for about one week. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that alcohol and moisture evaporate over time and the alcohol concentration decreases, and it is necessary to periodically dispose and adjust it. In recent years, alcohol cotton conditioned in advance has been marketed, and there are single-pack or multi-pack products. However, these packed products were not fully satisfactory.

A first fragile container filled with disinfecting ethanol is accommodated in the lower chamber divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber with a gas permeable membrane 9 that allows only gas permeation as a boundary, and a citric acid aqueous solution is filled in the upper chamber. It has a structure that accommodates a second breakable container and a third breakable container filled with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. (See Figure 6)
When the container is bent by hand and the first, second and third breakable containers (all made of glass) are broken, the carbon dioxide gas generated in the upper chamber passes through the membrane 9 together with the disinfecting ethanol in the lower chamber from the diverging hole. It oozes from the popped cotton (absorbent material). Disinfecting ethanol is contained in a glass ampoule, so the quality is stable.

As a fishing tool for fishing (see Figure 7)
