It is a figure which shows operation | movement of the volatilizer container of FIG.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the volatile agent container according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, since the volatile agent container of this example is used in an inverted state, it demonstrates on the basis of an inverted state.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the volatile agent container 1 includes a cover film 10, a container body 20, a cover 30, a volatile member 40, and an inner plug 50. The container body 20, the cover 30, and the inner stopper 50 are all made of resin in this example, but other materials can also be used.

  In the present embodiment, the container body 20 has a bottom portion 21, a trunk portion 22, a shoulder portion 23, and a mouth portion 24, and has a bottle shape that accommodates the volatile agent R therein. The container body 20 has a square-shaped shape including four side surfaces in which the bottom portion 21 has a substantially square shape and the body portion 22 has a substantially rectangular shape. Further, an inner plug 50 that seals the mouth portion 24 is liquid-tightly fitted to the mouth portion 24 of the container body 20. The inner plug 50 includes a ring-shaped annular bottom surface portion 51, an outer cylinder portion 52 erected on the outer peripheral edge portion of the annular bottom surface portion 51, and an inner cylinder portion erected on the inner peripheral edge portion of the annular bottom surface portion 51. 53 is fitted into the mouth 24 of the container body 20. Further, the mouth portion 24 of the container body 20 is sealed by a top plate portion 54 that is stretched inside the upper end edge of the inner cylinder portion 53. The top plate portion 54 has an annular thin portion 54a having a reduced thickness. When the protrusion 38 penetrates the top plate portion 54, the top plate portion 54 is broken from the thin portion 54a as a starting point. In the present invention, the volatile agent R is not particularly limited. For example, a volatile liquid such as a fragrance, a deodorant, a dehumidifier, or an insect repellent, or a gel-like granular material is used. In this example, it is a liquid fragrance.

  The cover 30 covers the container body 20 in an inverted state from below and covers the mouth 24 and the shoulder 23 of the container body 20. The cover 30 has a side wall 31 disposed so as to surround the body portion 22 of the container body 20 and a bottom wall 32 provided at the lower end of the tubular side wall 31. The side wall 31 of the cover 30 has a side wall lid part 34 connected via a hinge 33. In this example, the side wall lid part 34 is formed on each of the pair of opposing side walls 31 and extends to the bottom wall 32. A part of the bottom wall 32 is formed. In this example, the thin portion formed on the side wall 31 is a hinge 33. In the unopened volatile agent container 1 shown in FIG. 1A, the side wall lid portion 34 is prevented from swinging outward by the cover film 10 covering the entire circumference of the side wall 31. In addition, a support rib 35 as a support portion is provided on the inner surface of each side wall lid portion 34, and an inclined portion 35 a formed at the upper end thereof is brought into contact with the shoulder portion 23 of the container body 20, so that the container body 20 Is supported from below. The inclined portion 35a is inclined downward toward the inside of the cover 30, and the corresponding shoulder portion 23 of the container body 20 is inclined substantially parallel to the inclined portion 35a. On the upper surface of the bottom wall 32, a plurality of grooves 32a for allowing the volatilizing agent R volatilized through the volatilizing member 40 to pass therethrough are formed.

  At the center of the bottom wall 32 of the cover 30, a pointed protrusion 38 is formed upward toward the inner plug 50. The protrusion 38 has a plurality of concave shapes (not shown) extending in the vertical direction. That is, the volatilizing agent R that is broken and opened by the protrusion 38 and flows out from the mouth portion 24 of the container body 20 can move to the volatilization member 40 through the concave shape and the groove 32a. Instead of the groove 32a, a protrusion may be provided. In addition, it is good also as a protruding item | line instead of a concave shape. The height of the projection 38 is slightly unopened when the shoulder portion 23 of the container body 20 and the inclined portion 35a of the support rib 35 are in contact with each other, and the tip of the projection 38 is slightly from the top plate portion 54 of the inner plug 50. In a state where the container body 20 is pushed down and the annular bottom surface portion 51 and the bottom wall 32 are in contact with each other, the protrusion 38 penetrates and penetrates the top plate portion 54 of the inner plug 50.

  Further, in this example, the cover 30 has a temporary holding convex portion 36 near the upper end of the inner surface of the side wall 31, and the outer surface of the body portion 22 of the container body is engaged with the temporary holding convex portion 36, An engaging convex portion 25 that prevents the container body 20 from moving upward with respect to the cover 30 is provided.

  On the bottom wall 32 of the cover 30, a ring-shaped volatile member 40 is disposed. In this example, the volatilization member 40 is made of a member that absorbs and wets the liquid, such as a nonwoven fabric.

  The cover film 10 covers at least a part of the side wall cover 34 over the entire circumference. In this example, the cover film 10 covers the entire circumference in the circumferential direction around the central axis O of the container body 20 from the upper surface of the bottom 21 of the container body 20 to the lower surface of the bottom wall 32 of the cover 30. Thereby, the swinging displacement to the outside of the side wall lid portion 34 is prevented, and the container main body 20 is restricted from moving in the separating direction with respect to the cover 30. Moreover, the cover film 10 can be made into a heat shrink film, for example, and can also be decorated with figures and characters. Moreover, the cover film 10 can be easily peeled off from the container main body 20 and the cover 30 by forming perforations and the like. Although the illustrated cover film 10 is shown as being disposed with a gap between the container body 20 and the cover 30, the inner surface of the cover film 10 is actually the container body 20 and the cover 30. It is arranged in contact with the outer surface.

  Since the volatilizer container 1 having the above configuration cannot be pushed into the cover 30 by the function of the support rib 35 unless the cover film 10 is removed, the volatilizer R is opened by mistake and the volatilizer R is exposed to the outside. There is no risk of spillage and it can be handled safely. Further, the volatile agent container 1 of the present embodiment is covered with the cover film 10 from the upper surface of the bottom portion 21 of the container body 20 to the lower surface of the bottom wall 32 of the cover 30, that is, over the entire length of the volatile agent container 1. Therefore, there is no possibility that the container body 20 and the cover 30 are separated before the cover film 10 is removed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the container body 20 or the cover 30 from dropping off during transportation or storage. Moreover, since the volatilizer container 1 presupposes that the cover film 10 is removed and used, when the cover film 10 is not removed, the external appearance of the volatilizer container 1 is in an unopened state. It can be easily confirmed.

  When using the volatilizer container 1 having the above configuration, first, the cover film 10 is removed. When the container body 20 is pushed downward with respect to the cover 30, the side wall lid portion 34 starts to open outwardly with the hinge 33 as a fulcrum due to the downward displacement of the shoulder portion 23, and the body portion 22 is moved to the inclined portion 35 a. By pressing, the side wall cover 34 can be swung outwardly. Further, as the container body 20 is displaced downward, the top plate portion 54 of the inner plug 50 that seals the mouth portion 24 of the container body 20 is broken by the protrusion 38 of the cover 30 and poured out. Volatilizer R impregnates volatilization member 40 and starts volatilization. That is, according to the volatilizer container 1 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the cover film 10 is removed from the unopened state shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and only the operation of pushing down the container body 20 is performed. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the volatilizing agent R can be volatilized to an opened state. Therefore, it is possible to greatly simplify the operation for opening the container body 20 and setting the volatilizing agent R to volatilize, and the volatilizing agent flows out by the falling or falling of the container that may occur during the opening operation. In addition, the possibility of malfunctions caused by operations different from the instructions for use can be reduced.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, it is possible to easily confirm from the appearance that the volatilizer container 1 is in an opened state by opening the side wall lid 34 outward. Furthermore, since the flow path of the air which flows the inside of the volatile agent container 1, especially the circumference | surroundings of the volatile member 40 is formed when the side wall cover part 34 opens outside, without expanding an air flow path newly. The volatilization effect of the volatilizing agent R can be improved.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, the volatilizer container 101 includes an inverted container body 120, a cover 130 that supports the container body 120 from below, and the container body 120 and the cover from the outside. Cover film 110 covering 130.

  The container body 120 has a bottom 121, a body 122, a shoulder 123, and a mouth 124, and has a bottle shape that accommodates the volatile agent R therein. The container main body 120 has a bottom 121 having a substantially circular shape and a body 122 having a substantially cylindrical shape. A male screw portion 124 s is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 124.

The inner plug 150 includes a ring-shaped annular bottom surface portion 151, an outer cylinder portion 152 erected on the outer peripheral edge portion of the annular bottom surface portion 151, and an inner cylinder portion erected on the inner peripheral edge portion of the annular bottom surface portion 151. 153 is fitted into the mouth portion 124 of the container main body 120, and the mouth portion 124 of the container main body 120 is sealed by the top plate portion 154 stretched inside the upper end edge of the inner cylinder portion 153.

  The cover 130 covers the container main body 120 in an inverted state from below and covers the mouth portion 124 and the shoulder portion 123 of the container main body 120. Further, the cover 130 includes a cylindrical side wall 131 disposed so as to surround the body portion 122 of the container body 120 and a bottom wall 132 provided at the lower end of the side wall 131. The side wall 131 of the cover 130 has a side wall cover part 134 connected via a hinge 133. In the volatilizer container 101 in the unopened state shown in FIG. 3A, the side wall cover part 134 is prevented from swinging outward by the cover film 110 covering the entire circumference of the side wall 131. Further, a support rib 135 is provided on the inner surface of each side wall lid portion 134, and an inclined portion 135a formed at the upper end thereof is brought into contact with the shoulder portion 123 of the container main body 120 to support the container main body 120 from below. ing. The inclined portion 135a is inclined downward toward the inner side of the cover 130, and the corresponding shoulder portion 123 of the container body 120 is inclined substantially parallel to the inclined portion 135a.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the cover 130 of this embodiment has an inner wall portion 139 that stands from the upper surface of the bottom wall 132. A female screw portion 139 s is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner wall portion 139, and this female screw portion 139 s corresponds to a male screw portion 124 s formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 124 of the container body 120. The inner wall portion 139 is formed with two opposing slits 139a extending in the height (axis) direction. The volatile material R poured out from the container body 120 after opening passes through the slit 139a and moves to the volatile member 140 side. In addition, a plurality of grooves 132 a are formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 132 for allowing the volatilizing agent R volatilized through the volatilizing member 140 to pass therethrough. Further, in the center of the bottom wall 132 of the cover 130, a pointed protrusion 138 is formed upward toward the inner plug 150 as in the previous embodiment. A ring-shaped volatile member 140 for impregnating the volatile material R is disposed on the bottom wall 132 of the cover 130.

  As in the previous embodiment, the cover film 110 covers the entire circumference in the circumferential direction around the central axis O of the container body from the upper surface of the bottom 121 of the container body 120 to the lower surface of the bottom wall 132 of the cover 130. Yes.

  In the volatilizer container 101 having the above configuration, the container main body 120 is supported from below by the support ribs 135 of the cover 130 in the unopened state shown in FIGS. Further, the upper surface of the male screw portion 124 s formed in the mouth portion 124 of the container main body 120 and the lower surface of the female screw portion 139 s of the inner wall portion 139 formed in the cover 130 are engaged, and the container main body 120 and the cover 130 are engaged. Movement in the direction in which the two are separated from each other is restricted. In this example, the movement in the direction in which the container main body 120 and the cover 130 are separated is also limited by the cover film 110.

  When the volatilizer container 101 is opened and used, the cover body 110 is removed, and then the container body 120 is rotated around the central axis O with respect to the cover 130 to push the container body 120 into the cover 130. Can be screwed in. As a result, as in the previous embodiment, the side wall lid part 134 starts to open outwardly with the hinge 133 as a fulcrum due to the downward displacement of the shoulder 123, and the body part 122 presses against the inclined part 135a. The lid part 134 can be rocked and displaced outward. Further, as the container body 120 is displaced downward, the top plate portion 154 of the inner plug 150 that seals the mouth portion 124 of the container body 120 is broken by the protrusion 138 of the cover 130 and poured out. The volatilizing agent R impregnates the volatilizing member 140 through the slit 139a or the groove 132a and starts volatilization. 4A and 4B show a state where the container main body 120 is screwed to the maximum and pushed down. In this state, the opening angle of the side wall lid part 134 is maximized, and air easily flows into the volatilizer container 101. Therefore, the volatilization effect of the volatilizer R is increased.

  In addition to the effects obtained in the previous embodiment, the volatilizer container 101 of the present embodiment can set the height of the container main body 120 relative to the cover 130 at an arbitrary position by adjusting the screwing amount. It becomes. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to adjust the amount of air flowing into the volatilizer container 101 by appropriately setting the opening angle of the side wall lid 134. That is, when it is desired to increase the volatilization effect of the volatilizing agent R, the side wall lid 134 is opened widely by screwing the container body 120 downward with respect to the cover 130, and conversely, the volatilizing effect of the volatilizing agent R is reduced. When it is desired to make it happen, the angle of the side wall lid 134 can be reduced by rotating the container body 120 in the reverse direction and raising it.

  What has been described above is merely illustrative of the embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the support portion is shown as the support ribs 35 and 135. However, the support portion may be formed by forming a convex portion other than the rib on the inner surface of the side wall lid portion or attaching a separately molded member. It is also possible to provide. In addition, the inner plugs 50 and 150 that are to be opened by breaking in the above embodiment may be members such as lids that are released toward the inside of the container main body by being pushed. Further, the volatilizing agent containers 1 and 101 of the previous embodiment can change the height of the above-described support ribs 35 and 135, the inclination angle of the inclined portions 35a and 135a, and the like so that the opening angle of the side wall lid portion 34 is desired.
