JP 2011-4867 A

  By the way, the container of this kind of chemical volatilizer is often transparent, and the inserted rod-shaped volatilizer is fully visible from the outer surface of the container. Therefore, especially when many rod-shaped volatilization bodies are inserted, there is a problem that the inside of the container looks cluttered and the aesthetic appearance of the entire volatilizer is impaired.

  An object of this invention is to provide a chemical volatilizer with high interior property.

  The chemical volatilizer according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a transparent container and one or a plurality of rod-shaped volatilizers. The container has a bottom part and a peripheral wall part that define an internal space, and has an opening in the upper part, and stores the chemical solution in the internal space. The volatilization body is inserted into the internal space from the opening such that a tip portion protrudes from the opening. The peripheral wall portion has a plurality of streaks extending vertically or horizontally. The outer surface of the streak forms a curved surface in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the direction in which the streak extends. Here, the term “upper and lower” refers to the central axis direction of the container, and “left and right” refers to the outer peripheral direction of the peripheral wall portion. In addition, the expression “the streaks extend vertically or horizontally” in the present invention is not limited to the “straight parts extend parallel or substantially parallel to the top, bottom, left and right”, but “an obliquely extending” aspect It is a concept that also includes In addition, the case where “the streaks extend in parallel in the vertical direction” means “when the container is rotated around its central axis, the rotation angle at which the streaks extend and the central axis appear to overlap. The case where it exists.

  Here, a plurality of streaks having a curved outer surface are provided on the peripheral wall of the transparent container. These streaks function as lenses, and as a result, the rod-like volatilized body inserted into the container looks different from the actual volatilized body when viewed from the outside. For example, a part of the volatilized body looks large, looks small, or becomes difficult to see. In addition, on the outer surface of the container, the number of surfaces that reflect light increases, giving an overall shining impression. Therefore, the interior property of the chemical volatilizer is enhanced.

  The drug volatilizer according to the second aspect of the present invention is the drug volatilizer according to the first aspect, wherein the outer surface of the streak-like portion protrudes outward in a cross-sectional view of the container. A curved surface is formed.

  The chemical volatilization device according to the third aspect of the present invention is the chemical volatilization device according to the first aspect or the second aspect, and the plurality of streaks are formed on the entire outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion.

  The chemical volatilizer which concerns on the 4th viewpoint of this invention is a chemical volatilizer which concerns on either of the 1st viewpoint to the 3rd viewpoint, Comprising: The curvature radius of the said curved surface is 2-25 mm.

  The chemical volatilizer according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the chemical volatilizer according to any one of the first aspect to the fourth aspect, wherein the chemical volatilizer is on the inner circumference of the peripheral wall portion at the height position of the lower end of the peripheral wall portion. The distance between this point and the central axis of the peripheral wall portion is 30 to 150 mm.

  The chemical volatilization device according to the sixth aspect of the present invention is the chemical volatilization device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the photorefractive index of the solvent contained in the chemical solution is 1.2-2. 0.

  According to the present invention, a plurality of streak portions having a curved outer surface are provided on the peripheral wall portion of the transparent container. These streaks function as lenses, and as a result, the rod-like volatilized body inserted into the container looks different from the actual volatilized body when viewed from the outside. For example, a part of the volatilized body looks large or difficult to see. In addition, on the outer surface of the container, the number of surfaces that reflect light increases, giving an overall shining impression. Therefore, the interior property of the chemical volatilizer is enhanced.

  Hereinafter, the chemical volatilizer according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<1. First Embodiment>
In FIG. 1, the external appearance perspective view of the chemical volatilizer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the chemical volatilizer 1 is composed of a container 2 in which a chemical solution is stored and one or a plurality of rod-shaped volatilizers 3 inserted into the container 2. The container 2 has an opening S1 in the upper part, and the chemical solution can be stored in the internal space S2 (see FIG. 3) through the opening S1. The rod-shaped volatilization body 3 has a sufficient length with respect to the height of the internal space S2 of the container 2, and the internal space of the container 2 is such that the tip 3a protrudes from the opening S1 of the container 2. Inserted in S2. As a result, the chemical | medical solution in the container 2 is absorbed by the volatilization body 3, rises along the volatilization body 3, and volatilizes to external space after that. Thereby, the component of the chemical | medical agent contained in a chemical | medical solution spreads to the surrounding space where the chemical volatilizer 1 was placed. In addition, the chemical | medical solution accommodated in the chemical volatilizer 1 is a fragrance typically. However, the chemical volatilizer 1 can be used for other chemicals, for example, liquid insecticides.

  In the external view of FIG. 1, illustration of the volatile body 3 in the container 2 is omitted, but the container 2 is formed transparent (including translucent). Although the material of the container 2 is not specifically limited, For example, it can be made from glass or plastics. However, from the viewpoint of aesthetics, it is preferably made of glass. The rod-shaped volatilizer 3 is typically made of rattan or the like, but is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can absorb a chemical solution and volatilize it to the outside.

  FIG. 2 shows a front view of the container 2, and FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the container 2. As shown in these drawings, the container 2 has a bottom portion 10 and a peripheral wall portion 20 that define an internal space S2. The bottom portion 10 has a shape in which the central portion 11 is raised slightly above the outer peripheral portion 12. Therefore, when the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the container 2 decreases, the chemical solution accumulates at the periphery of the bottom portion 10. On the other hand, the rod-like volatilization body 3 is usually lowered along the inclination of the bottom portion 10 and is disposed on the periphery of the bottom portion 10. Therefore, since the volatilizer 3 and the chemical solution are easily in contact with each other, the chemical solution can be used up to the end. At this time, since the position of the rod-like volatilizer 3 is easily regulated by the streaks 25 described later, the rod-like volatilizer 3 can be prevented from moving during use (displacement).

  The peripheral wall portion 20 has a generally elliptical columnar body portion 21, and the body portion 21 is continuous with the neck portion 23 via a shoulder portion 22 at the upper end thereof. The neck portion 23 is a portion that defines the opening S <b> 1 at the top of the container 2, and is narrower than the trunk portion 21.

  A large number of streak portions 25 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the body portion 21 of the peripheral wall portion 20. In the present embodiment, these streak portions 25 are formed over the entire outer periphery of the trunk portion 21 and are adjacent to each other. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. As shown in the figure, each streaky portion 25 according to the present embodiment forms a convex lens.

  More specifically, the outer surface 25a of the streak-like portion 25 is a protrusion protruding outward in the radial direction of the container 2 in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the extending direction of the streak-like portion 25, that is, in a cross-sectional view. A curved surface is formed. Similarly, the inner surface 25b of the streaky portion 25 also forms a convex curved surface that protrudes outward in the radial direction of the container 2 in a cross-sectional view. In the present embodiment, on the outer surface 25a and the inner surface 25b of the streak 25, since the smoothness is interrupted at the boundary between the streaks 25, the streak boundaries are visible.

  The above-described streak-like portion 25 functions as a lens, so that the rod-like volatile body 3 inserted into the container 2 looks different from the actual one when viewed from the outside. FIG. 5 is a diagram conceptually illustrating this, and schematically shows a cross section of the container 2. That is, in this embodiment, since the streaks 25 are convex lenses, this works like a magnifying glass, and the image of the volatilization body 3 in front of the focal point as viewed from the viewpoint is enlarged, and the volatilization body 3 far from the focal point. The image of is reversed. Moreover, the volatilization body 3 located near the focal point of the container 2 becomes difficult to see. And by such a deformation | transformation of an image, the person who sees this cannot catch the actual shape of the volatilization body 3 correctly, and that improves the interior property of the chemical volatilization device 1. Moreover, since the image of the volatilization body 3 changes also by the angle which looks at the chemical volatilizer 1, the user can enjoy various facial expressions of the chemical volatilizer 1.

  In addition, due to the magnifying glass effect by the large number of streaks 25, a large amount of light gathers in the internal space S2 of the container 2, and the interior of the container 2 is illuminated brightly. Moreover, in the outer surface 25a of the container 2, the surface which reflects light increases and the chemical volatilizer 1 gives the shining impression as a whole. Also in such a meaning, the above-mentioned streaks 25 can improve the interior property of the medicine volatilizer 1.

  The appearance of the volatilizer 3 depends on the distance between the chemical volatilizer 1 and the viewpoint, but also depends on the inner diameter of the container 2, the radius of curvature of the streaks 25, and the like. From the viewpoint of improving the interior of the chemical volatilizer 1, the inner diameter of the container 2 (the distance between the point on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 20 and the central axis of the peripheral wall 20 at the height position of the lower end of the peripheral wall 20). 2 times R, and R is shown in FIG. 3) is preferably 30 mm to 150 mm, more preferably 30 mm to 100 mm, and still more preferably 40 mm to 80 mm. The streak portion 25 according to the present embodiment is a spherical lens over the whole, and the radius of curvature is preferably 2 mm to 25 mm, more preferably 5 mm to 25 mm, and 5 mm to 20 mm. More preferably. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the curvature radius of the outer surface 25a of the stripe-shaped part 25 is larger than the curvature radius of the inner surface 25b, the same may be sufficient and the former may be smaller than the latter.

  For example, when the radius of curvature of the outer surface 25a of the streaks 25 is 2 mm to 10 mm and the inner diameter of the container 2 is 30 mm to 60 mm, the image of the volatilization body 3 is easily reversed or difficult to see. . In this case, it becomes easy to see that the volatilization body 3 has disappeared. On the other hand, when the radius of curvature of the outer surface 25a of the streaks 25 is 10 mm to 25 mm and the inner diameter of the container 2 is 50 mm to 150 mm, the image of the volatilizer 3 is easily enlarged or difficult to see. . In this case, the image of the back volatilization body 3 can be hidden by the enlarged image of the volatilization body 3 in front.

  From the viewpoint of improving the interior properties of the chemical volatilizer 1, the width of the outer surface 25a of one streaky portion 25 is 1 to 10 when the maximum width of the rod-shaped volatilizer 3 is 1. Preferably, it is 1.5-8, more preferably 1.5-6. In addition, the width | variety of the outer surface 25a is the length (it shows by w in FIG. 4) between the end points of the outer peripheral direction of the outer surface 25a. The maximum width of the volatilization body 3 is, for example, the diameter when the volatilization body 3 is circular, the length of the long axis when the volatilization body 3 is elliptical, and the square width. Is the length of the diagonal. That is, the maximum width of the volatilization body 3 is a line segment passing through the centroid of the cross section in the longitudinal direction, and is the maximum value of the length of the line segment divided by the contour line of the cross section. Further, the maximum width of the volatilizer 3 is preferably 1 mm to 8 mm, more preferably 2 mm to 6 mm, and further preferably 2 mm to 4 mm.

  The appearance of the volatile body 3 in the container 2 also depends on the optical refractive index of the chemical solution. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improving the interior property of the chemical volatilizer 1, the photorefractive index of the solvent contained in the chemical solution is preferably 1.2 to 2.0, and preferably 1.2 to 1.7. Is more preferable, and it is further more preferable that it is 1.3-1.7. Thereby, the volatilization body 3 may be refracted or more difficult to see. Moreover, the chemical | medical agent volatilizer 1 comes to shine more brilliantly by the grade of the condensing in the internal space S2 of the container 2 changing. Further, the weight percent concentration of the solvent with respect to the whole chemical solution is preferably 30 percent by weight or more, more preferably 50 percent by weight or more, further preferably 70 percent by weight or more, and particularly preferably 80 percent by weight or more. Preferably, 85 weight percent or more is most preferable. In addition, the light refractive index here is a value measured by JIS K 0062-1992.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, not only the outer surface 25a of the trunk | drum 21 of the container 2, but the inner surface 25b is also drawing uneven | corrugated shape. This uneven shape has a function of regulating the movement of the volatile body 3 in the container 2, and can prevent the volatile body 3 from being disposed at a biased position in the container 2. That is, if the position of the volatilizer 3 in the container 2 is determined while adjusting the appearance from the outside when the container 2 is installed at a specific installation location, then the adjusted appearance is maintained. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, a window portion 30 is formed at the front center of the trunk portion 21. The outer surface and inner surface of the window portion 30 are portions having a smooth curved surface shape, and the width in the outer peripheral direction corresponds to a large number of the streak portions 25. Accordingly, when the inside of the container 2 is viewed through the window portion 30, the above-described lens effect is not expected so much, but the combination with the appearance through the streaks 25 allows the user to change various expressions of the drug volatilizer 1. Can enjoy. In addition, since the wide smooth space is ensured by presence of the window part 30, the window part 30 is suitable also for sticking a label seal | sticker.

<2. Second Embodiment>
Next, the chemical volatilizer 101 according to the second embodiment will be described. In addition, since the chemical volatilizer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment and the chemical volatilizer 101 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment are common in many points, the same number is attached | subjected to the same component and description is abbreviate | omitted. Below, it demonstrates focusing on the difference with 1st Embodiment.

  FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of the drug volatilizer 101 according to the second embodiment. The chemical volatilizer 101 is also composed of a container 102 in which a chemical solution is stored, and one or a plurality of rod-shaped volatilizers 3 inserted into the container 102. The container 102 is also formed transparent (including translucent), and can be made of glass or plastic, for example.

  FIG. 7 is a front view of the container 102, and FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the container 102. As shown in these drawings, the container 102 also has a bottom portion 10 and a peripheral wall portion 120, and a plurality of streak portions 125 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the body portion 121 of the peripheral wall portion 120. . Also in the present embodiment, these streak portions 125 are formed over the entire outer periphery of the trunk portion 21 and are adjacent to each other, and the boundary between the streaks 125 is visible. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. As shown in the figure, the streaked portion 125 according to the present embodiment also forms a convex lens, and the outer surface 125a and the inner surface 125b of the streaked portion 125 are radially outward of the container 102 in a cross-sectional view. A convex curved surface projecting in the direction is formed.

  Therefore, also in this embodiment, the lens effect similar to that of the streaky portion 125 is exhibited as in the first embodiment. Specifically, the rod-shaped volatile body 3 inserted into the container 102 looks different from the actual state when viewed from the outside, and the image of the volatile body 3 disappears or is deformed. Although not repeated for simplicity, the chemical volatilizer 101 can similarly exhibit other effects described in the first embodiment. In addition, the preferable numerical range shown in description of 1st Embodiment is applicable also to the chemical volatilizer 101 similarly.

  In the present embodiment, the streaky portion 125 formed in the trunk portion 121 is also continuous in the shoulder portion 122. As a result, even when viewed from above or obliquely from above, the image of the volatilization body 3 in the container 102 can be changed, and more light is taken into the container 102 to further sparkle the drug volatilizer 101. Can make it shine.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the peripheral wall 120 (excluding the neck 23, the same in this paragraph) of the container 102 is more bulging radially outward near the center in the height direction. It has a shape. That is, when viewed from the side, the peripheral wall 120 has a rounded shape. As a result, the width of the streak portion 125 formed on the trunk portion 121 and the shoulder portion 122 changes in the height direction, becomes the maximum width near the center, and becomes narrow at the upper end and the lower end. Thereby, the effect of deformation of the image of the volatilizing body 3 is further enhanced.

<3. Modification>
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. For example, the following changes can be made. In addition, the gist of the following modifications can be combined as appropriate.

<3-1>
In the said embodiment, although the streak parts 25 and 125 were formed over the outer periphery perimeter in the trunk | drum 21 and 121 of a container, a streak part may be formed only in a part of outer periphery. . Further, the streak portions 25 and 125 having a curved shape do not necessarily have to be adjacent to each other.

<3-2>
In the above embodiment, all the streaks 25 and 125 are convex lenses, but some or all of the streaks may be concave lenses. In this case, the image of the volatilization body 3 in the container 2 can be easily seen small, and the interior property of the drug volatilizer can be improved by the lens effect.

  In the above embodiment, all the streaks 25 and 125 are meniscus lenses, but part or all of the streaks may be double lenses or flat lenses. In addition, a part or all of the streak portion may be an aspheric lens.

<3-3>
The cross-sectional shape of the containers 2 and 102 is not limited to the above-described elliptical shape and circular shape, and may be, for example, a polygonal shape (rectangular shape or the like).

<3-4>
In the above-described embodiment, the streaks 25 and 125 extend vertically in parallel (that is, when the container 2 and 102 are rotated around the central axis, However, the extending direction of the streaks 25 and 125 is not limited to the above example, and is orthogonal to the direction of the above example, for example. The direction may be parallel to the right and left (see FIG. 10), or may be inclined with respect to the top and bottom and the left and right (see FIG. 11). In addition, the example of FIG.10 and FIG.11 changes the extending direction of the stripe part 25 in 1st Embodiment.

  Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention will be described below. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

  A chemical volatilizer according to the first embodiment was manufactured and used as Example 1. Moreover, when the container of Example 1 was filled with tap water and a volatilizer made of rattan having a diameter of 3 mm was further inserted and photographed, a photograph shown in FIG. 12 was obtained.

  Similarly, a chemical volatilizer according to the second embodiment was manufactured, and this was designated as Example 2. Moreover, when the container of Example 2 was filled with tap water and the same volatilized body as in Comparative Example 1 was further inserted and photographed, a photograph shown in FIG. 13 was obtained.

  Furthermore, a smooth cylindrical chemical volatilizer was prepared for both the outer surface and the inner surface, and this was used as a comparative example. Moreover, when the tap water was filled in the container of the comparative example and the same volatilized body as in the comparative example 1 was further inserted and photographed, the photograph shown in FIG. 14 was obtained. The containers of Examples 1 and 2 and the comparative example were all made of glass.

  As is clear from comparison of FIGS. 12 to 14, in the chemical volatilizers according to Examples 1 and 2, the volatilizer is difficult to see, is inverted, or is deformed. The described lens effect (magnifying glass effect) was confirmed. On the other hand, such a lens effect was not confirmed in the chemical volatilizer according to the comparative example. From the above, it can be seen that the chemical volatilizers according to Examples 1 and 2 have higher interior properties than the comparative example.
