  In these fragrances, when it is desired to diffuse the fragrance widely, it is a common practice to apply wind to the site where the fragrance volatilizes. In the case where the slit is provided on the side wall of the container, the air flow sent by the blower or the like directly hits the fragrance, so the volatility of the fragrance can be increased and the amount of diffusion can be increased. However, when a slit is formed on the side wall of the container, the form of the fragrance used as the contents is limited to a solid substance, and when using a liquid, granular, or gel fragrance, the container It is essential to use a person who has an opening in the upper part.

  However, in the case of a container main body having an opening in the upper part of the container, there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the diffusion amount of the fragrance because the airflow sent by the blower or the like flows so as to stroke the upper part of the lid.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance container that can increase the amount of fragrance diffused from the fragrance by blowing air, even if the fragrance container has an opening at the top of the container body.

  In order to achieve the above object, the fragrance container of the present invention comprises a container body having an opening for filling a volatile fragrance at the top, and the container body with the opening positioned at the top. A container mounting portion that is attached to the outlet of the blower; and a lid that covers the opening, wherein the lid is formed at a position sandwiching the wind direction plate protruding upward and the wind direction plate. An opening portion and a second opening portion are provided, and the plate surface of the wind direction plate is disposed so as to face the outlet.

  Moreover, in the fragrance | flavor container which has the above characteristics, it is good for the said wind direction board to incline to either one side of the said 1st opening part or the said 2nd opening part. By setting it as such a structure, when a wind direction board inclines to the windward side, an airflow can be effectively guide | induced to the inside of a container main body. On the other hand, when the wind direction plate is inclined toward the leeward side, a negative pressure region is generated in the vicinity of the opening located on the inclination side due to the flow of the airflow over the wind direction plate. Thereby, the gas inside a container main body is pulled out. Therefore, in any case, the diffusion amount of the fragrance from the fragrance filled in the container body can be increased.

By setting it as such a structure, it becomes possible to adjust the air volume sent to the inside of a container main body. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the diffusion amount of the fragrance. Moreover, when any one opening part is sealed with a wind direction board, the spreading | diffusion amount of a fragrance | flavor can be reduced and the volatilization amount of the fragrance | flavor at the time of non-use can be lowered | hung. Therefore, the effect of the fragrance can be prolonged.

  Moreover, in the fragrance | flavor container which has the above characteristics, it is opposite to the protrusion surface of the said wind direction board in the opening by which the said wind direction board inclines among the said 1st opening part or the said 2nd opening part. A cylindrical body extending on the side surface may be provided. By setting it as such a structure, the airflow guide | induced to one opening part by the wind direction board is sent to the deep part of the fragrance | flavor with which the inside of a container main body is filled, and it ejects inside a container. For this reason, the volatilization amount of a fragrance | flavor is increased and it will be discharged | emitted from the other opening part as an airflow containing this.

  Further, in the fragrance container having the above-described characteristics, the lid body is a rib protruding between the first opening and the second opening and on the surface opposite to the protruding surface of the wind direction plate. A plate may be provided. With such a configuration, the airflow guided to one opening by the wind direction plate escapes to the vicinity of the fragrance filled in the container body or inside the fragrance by colliding with the rib plate. Thereby, it will be discharged | emitted from the other opening part as an air flow containing many volatile components of the fragrance | flavor.

  Further, in the fragrance container having the above-described characteristics, the lid body may be provided with a stirring rod extending on the surface opposite to the protruding surface of the wind direction plate. By setting it as such a structure, a fragrance | flavor can be stirred without touching the fragrance | flavor with which the container main body was filled by rotating a cover body.

[First Embodiment: Configuration]
First, the fragrance container 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the fragrance container in use, and FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the fragrance container in an exploded state.

  The fragrance container 10 according to the present embodiment is configured based on a container main body 12, a container mounting portion 14, and a lid body 20. The container body 12 is a container for filling the fragrance 120 having volatility. The container body 12 only needs to have an opening 12a used for filling the fragrance 120 in the upper part thereof, and there is no need to limit the specific size, form, and material. This is because it is sufficient if the role of filling the fragrance 120 can be fulfilled.

  As an example of a specific form, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a saddle shape having a constriction in the vicinity of the opening 12 a may be used, and the material may be a translucent material such as glass. By adopting such a form, it is possible to obtain a design as an interior for the form. Moreover, the fragrance | flavor 120 with which the inside of the container main body 12 was filled can be visually recognized by comprising by a translucent material. Thus, when the fragrance 120 itself has visual characteristics, it can be enjoyed as a design. Further, when the fragrance 120 changes due to sublimation or melting, it becomes possible to know the replacement or addition time based on the change.

  In addition, about the fragrance | flavor 120 with which the container main body 12 is filled, the material, form, and other characteristics are not limited. Therefore, in addition to the granular material as shown in FIG. 1, various materials such as a solid, liquid, gel, or other material having a specific shape impregnated with a fragrance can be appropriately selected.

  The container attaching part 14 does not ask | require the specific form, if the container main body 12 can be attached to the blower outlet 100 of an air blower. This is because the shape of the container mounting portion 14 can be selected so as to have a suitable shape and strength depending on the shape and weight of the container body 12.
