Description

  The present invention relates to a volatilization container that contains a volatilizing agent such as a fragrance, a deodorant, an insect repellent or a repellent and volatilizes it in an ambient atmosphere.

Volatile containers that volatilize chemicals such as fragrances and deodorants are widely used in order to eliminate the unpleasant sensation caused by odors in the interior of a room or in an automobile and to create a pleasant scent. In a conventional volatilization container, a method is generally used in which the entire surface or a part of the container is a transparent window, and the remaining amount of contents is confirmed through the transparent window. An aroma device that visually appeals the remaining amount of contents by dynamic change is also disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
This fragrance device is provided with a fragrance container in a detachable manner at the rear end of the animal-shaped head, and this head is inserted into an opening of the animal-shaped body. The head portion is lowered when the amount of the fragrance decreases and the container becomes lighter, and the remaining amount of the fragrance is displayed on the display device related to the movement of the head. Is.

  However, the container described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the number of parts such as a display device and a swinging configuration is complicated and the cost is increased.

  An object of the present invention is to perform the above-described problems in the prior art, and a volatilization container in which the remaining amount state of the volatilizing agent can be easily confirmed and the configuration of the remaining amount confirmation is simple and low cost. Is to provide.

As a means for solving the above problems, the volatilization container according to the present invention is:
A container body having an opening at the top and containing the volatilizing agent therein;
In a volatilization container provided with a lid with a volatilization hole for volatilizing the volatilization component of the volatilization agent to the outside,
A body recess is formed in the body of the container body, and a weight is attached to the body recess.

  In this configuration, the weight balance of the volatilization container is easily shifted by attaching a weight to the body recess of the container body, and the volatilization container tilts as the volatilization agent decreases, and the timing for replenishment and replacement of the volatilization agent approaches. Can be visually recognized.

  In addition, another volatilization container according to the present invention is such that the volatilization container is gradually inclined with respect to the installation surface in accordance with the deviation of the weight balance of the volatilization container due to the reduction of the volatilizing agent.

  In the above structure, a discontinuous change in the inclination angle of the volatilization container prompts a visual sign that the volatilizing agent replenishment / replacement time has been reached, and the replenishment / replacement time has passed and the product has been left unattended. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, another volatilization container which concerns on this invention is a trunk | drum recessed part provided in the outermost diameter part vicinity of a trunk | drum.

  In the said structure, it is possible to suppress the unstable state when a volatilization container inclines by making a trunk | drum recessed part vicinity of the outermost diameter part of a trunk | drum.

  In another volatilization container according to the present invention, the bottom of the container main body is narrower than the trunk, and the lower end of the trunk is curved or tapered.

  In the said structure, when a volatile agent reduces, it becomes easy to incline with a weight.

  Furthermore, another volatilization container according to the present invention has a substantially western barrel shape in which the central portion of the trunk portion bulges outward and is curved.

  In the said structure, since the trunk | drum is curving outward in the substantially western barrel shape as a whole, the progress of the inclination accompanying the reduction | decrease of a volatilizer is performed smoothly.

The above-described configuration of the present invention has the following effects.
In the present invention, as the volatilizing agent decreases, the volatilization container tilts, and it is possible to visually recognize that the timing of replenishment / exchange of the volatilizing agent is approaching. In addition, the discontinuous change in the inclination angle of the volatilization container as the volatilizing agent continues to decrease promotes a visual sign that the volatilizing agent replenishment / replacement time has been reached. It is possible to prevent them from being left unattended.
Moreover, in this invention, the structure of the residual amount confirmation of a volatile agent is simple, and it can provide at low cost.

It is a longitudinal section showing an embodiment of a volatilization container concerning the present invention. Fig.2 (a) is a front view before attaching a weight to a volatilization container, FIG.2 (b) is explanatory drawing at the time of attaching a weight to a volatilization container.

It is. It is a semi-longitudinal sectional view showing that the volatilization container is turned over and the time for replenishment / replacement has been reached.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an embodiment of a volatilization container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 (a) is a front view before attaching a weight to the volatilization container, and FIG. 2 (b) shows a weight attached to the volatilization container. FIG. 3 (a) is a semi-longitudinal sectional view showing the volatilization state in the volatilization container of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 (b) is an inclination of the volatilization container to approach the replenishment / replacement time. FIG. 4 is a semi-longitudinal sectional view showing that the volatilization container is laid down and the replenishment / replacement time has been reached.
The volatilization container 1 of this embodiment is a volatilization apparatus for volatilizing the volatilizing agent 31 which is a liquid fragrance | flavor and spraying it in air | atmosphere, as shown in FIGS. 1-4, Comprising: A lid 20 and a weight 30 are provided.

  The container body 10 has a trunk portion 11a, a bottom portion 11b, a shoulder portion 13 and a mouth tube portion 14, and the trunk portion 11a has a substantially western barrel shape with a central portion bulging outward and curved. A mouth tube portion 14 is erected at the upper end of the portion 11 a via a shoulder portion 13, a volatilization port 15 is opened at the upper end portion of the mouth tube portion 14, and a male screw 16 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 14. There are around. A barrel recess 12 is formed in the vicinity of the outermost diameter portion of the barrel portion 11 a, and a weight 30 is attached inside the barrel recess 12. As a method for attaching the weight 30, it is possible to lock the weight 30 by fitting the weight 30 into the body recess 12 or using an adhesive or the like. The body recess 12 is preferably provided below the outermost diameter part or the outermost diameter part in order to prevent an unstable state when the volatilizing agent 31 is reduced and the volatilization container 1 is inclined.

  When the bottom 11b of the container body 10 is narrower than the body 11a, and the lower end of the body 11a is curved inward, curved outward, or tapered inward, the weight is reduced when the volatilizer 31 decreases. 30 makes it easy to tilt. Furthermore, when the trunk | drum 11a of the container main body 10 curves in the substantially western barrel shape as a whole outside, the progress of the inclination accompanying the reduction | decrease of the volatilizer 31 is smooth. Moreover, since the volatilization container 1 becomes easy to incline, so that the width | variety itself of the bottom part 11b becomes narrow, the starting position of the inclination in the residual amount of the volatile agent 31 can be adjusted.

  The lid 20 has a plurality of volatilization holes 21 for volatilizing the volatile components from the volatilization port 15 to the outside of the container, and the drooping pieces 22 are suspended intermittently downward from the top wall of the lid 20. A female screw 23 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the hanging piece 22 and is screwed with the male screw 16 of the mouth tube portion 14. Note that the engagement between the container body 10 and the lid 20 is not limited to the above-described screwing, and an engagement protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 14 and an engagement protrusion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the hanging piece 22. These may be undercut engaged.

  The weight 30 does not tilt the volatilization container 1 when the amount of the volatilizing agent 31 is large, and may be a weight enough to tilt the volatilization container 1 only when the volatilization container 31 is small. Examples of the material of the weight 30 include metal materials such as iron and brass. It is preferable that the outer surface of the weight 30 is a flat surface when attached and locked to the body recess 12. Since the outer peripheral surface of the trunk portion 11 of the container body 10 is curved, when the volatilization container 1 is inclined with respect to the installation surface and the weight 30 outer surface is the lower surface, the outer surface of the weight 30 is a flat surface. The sitting property of the volatilization container 1 is more stable with respect to the installation surface.

  Next, the effect | action of the volatilization container 1 is demonstrated.

  The volatilization container 1 is not shown, but the upper surface of the volatilization port 15 is stuck with a sealing member so that the volatilized components are not volatilized in the distribution stage before use, or a discard cap is fitted to the volatilization port 15 and fitted. It is blocked. The volatilization container 1 may be sold in an empty state, and the volatilizing agent 31 may be filled from a refill container or the like. After opening the volatilization port 15, the volatilization component hangs downward downward from the volatilization hole 21 inside the top wall of the lid 20 and the top wall of the lid 20 downward from the volatilization port 15. It is volatilized from the volatilization hole 21 outside the top wall of the lid 20 through the gap between the piece 22 and the hanging piece 22.

Immediately after the start of volatilization, as shown in FIG. 3A, the amount of the volatilizing agent 31 is large, indicating a high level 31H. When the volatilizing agent 31 is reduced to the low level 31L as the components are volatilized, the weight balance of the volatilization container 1 is shifted by the weight 30, and the volatilization container 1 begins to tilt so that the weight 30 is at the bottom. It proceeds (see FIG. 3B).
When the volatilizing agent 31 is almost volatilized, as shown in FIG. 4, the volatilization container 1 is almost lying sideways with the weight 30 as the bottom and the vicinity of the outermost diameter as the bottom. It should be noted that the position where the volatilization container 1 is laid down and stopped can be adjusted by the position of the weight 30 and the container form.

  Such a discontinuous change in the inclination angle of the volatilization container 1 prompts a visual sign that the volatilizing agent 31 has been replenished / replaced, and it is left without being noticed after the replenishment / replacement time. Can be prevented. In addition, most of the volatilization containers 1 so far have been static and uninteresting. However, the present invention is a volatilization container 1 that is dynamic and interesting and can be used as a figurine or interior that appeals to the eye.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of this invention and its effect were demonstrated along embodiment, embodiment of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.

  In the present invention, the volatilizing agent 31 is not limited to a fragrance, and for example, air freshener, deodorant, deodorant, malodor neutralizer, insecticide, insect repellent, repellent, drug, disinfectant, bactericidal agent If it aims at volatilizing volatilization components, such as an agent, a stimulant, and an aromatherapy composition, it can apply to various volatilization containers 1.

Further, the volatilizing agent 31 is not limited to a liquid material, and may be a solid, gel, or gel-like material in which a particulate volatilization component is mixed.
Furthermore, in order to control the volatilization amount, the number of volatilization holes 21 and the shape thereof may be changed as appropriate, and the shape of the lid 20 can be changed accordingly.

  As described above, the present invention can dynamically check the remaining state of the volatile agent, and can be used in the field of containers that store volatile agents such as fragrances and deodorants and volatilize them in the surrounding atmosphere. Development can be achieved in a wider area.
