Description

  The present invention relates to a scent presentation device, and more particularly to a scent presentation device that makes it easy to experience the scent of products such as shampoos, rinses, and softeners.

  In recent years, for example, cosmetics such as shampoos, rinses, and antiperspirants, and daily necessaries such as softeners and room fragrances have been developed, and each product is differentiated from other products. It has been. Under such circumstances, differentiation from other products by fragrance is one of the important factors, and many products in which various fragrances are reproduced are sold.

  However, differentiation by scent has many parts that cannot be understood unless the consumer actually experiences the scent, and the consumer cannot open the product at the store and check the scent. Therefore, conventionally, it has been common to display a sample of scent containing the same fragrance as that added to the product, and to allow consumers to freely experience the scent of the product. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Registered Utility Model No. 3143644

  However, in a general scent sample in which a powder carrying a fragrance is accommodated in a container with a lid, the scent of the scent sample inside cannot be smelled unless the lid of the container is opened. Therefore, there are many cases where the consumer does not reach the smell of the inside by opening the lid of the container. Moreover, in order to have a scent feel free, if it is an opening-type storage container, a fragrance will stop immediately and many consumers cannot experience a scent.

  Therefore, the subject of this invention is providing the fragrance presentation apparatus which can eliminate the fault which the prior art mentioned above has.

  The present invention is a scent presentation device that contains a fragrance-containing liquid or a fragrance fluid that is a granular material carrying a fragrance, and releases the scent of the stored fragrance fluid to the outside. An opening covered with a storage portion in which the aromatic fluid is stored, and a knob formed on the opposite side of the opening, and the sealing sheet allows gas to pass therethrough. The aromatic fluid is not allowed to pass through, and can be self-supporting with the knob portion facing upward and the opening portion facing downward, with the opening portion facing upward and the knob portion being lowered. It is intended to provide a scent presentation device that is incapable of being independent.

  According to the scent presentation device of the present invention, it becomes possible for a consumer to actively pick up the scent, and more consumers can experience the scent emitted from the scent sample.

The scent presentation device 1 </ b> A includes an opening portion 22 that is covered with the sealing sheet 3, a storage portion 20 that stores an aromatic fluid, and a knob portion 23 that is formed on the opposite side of the opening portion 22. The sealing sheet 3 allows gas to pass but does not allow the aromatic fluid to pass. The scent presentation device 1A can stand by itself with the knob 23 facing upward and the opening 22 facing downward, and cannot stand alone when the opening 22 faces upward and the knob 23 faces downward. Has been made. In the following description, the axial direction X is a direction substantially along the vertical direction in a state where the scent presentation device 1A is made to stand on a horizontal plane with the opening 22 facing downward, and in the present embodiment. When the constricted portion 24 is provided below the knob 23 as in the scent presentation device 1 </ b> A, the direction is parallel to a straight line passing through the center of the opening 22 and the center of the constricted portion 24.

  More specifically, in this embodiment, the scent presentation device 1A includes, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a container body 2A having an opening portion 22 and a knob portion 23, and an opening portion of the storage portion 20. The sealing sheet 3 covering 22, the locking member 4 that locks the sealing sheet 3 sealing the opening 22 to the container body 2 </ b> A, and the plurality of through holes 52 and covering the opening 22. The cover member 5 that covers the surface of the sealing sheet 3 opposite to the knob 23, the first packing member 6 a disposed between the opening 22 and the sealing sheet 3, and the sealing sheet 3 A second packing member 6b disposed between the stopper member 4 and the stopper member 4; In other words, the scent presentation device 1A includes a container body 2A, a sealing sheet 3, a first packing member 6a and a second packing member 6b, a locking member 4, and a cover member 5.

As described above, the container body 2 </ b> A includes the accommodating portion 20 and the knob portion 23. In a state in which the scent presentation device 1A is self-supporting, the accommodating portion 20 is a portion located below the knob portion 23 in the axial direction X, and has an internal space 21 in which an aromatic fluid is accommodated. .
In the present embodiment, the accommodating portion 20 is formed in a bell shape whose outer shape gradually decreases from one side in the axial direction X to the other side, the opening 22 is formed on one side, and the other side is constricted. A portion 24 is provided. The opening 22 communicates the internal space 21 of the housing part 20 with the outside. The constricted part 24 is formed in a shape whose outer shape is constricted inward. The accommodating portion 20 is formed so that the internal space 21 becomes gradually smaller toward the other side in the axial direction X. Specifically, the internal space 21 is formed such that a cross-sectional area perpendicular to the axial direction X gradually decreases from the opening 22 toward the other side in the axial direction X. Since the outer shape of the accommodating portion 20 gradually decreases toward the constricted portion 24, it is easy to pick up when smelling, and it is self-supporting (upright) when it returns to a predetermined position, and is difficult to roll. Note that the entire internal space 21 of the accommodating portion 20 does not need to be gradually reduced toward the constricted portion 24, and at least a part thereof may be gradually reduced toward the constricted portion 24. For example, the internal space 21 in the accommodating portion 20 may be composed of an internal space whose inner peripheral surface is cylindrical and an internal space whose diameter or cross-sectional area gradually decreases toward the constricted portion 24. Further, the internal space 21 of the housing portion 20 may not have a portion that gradually decreases toward the constricted portion 24.

The knob 23 is formed on the side opposite to the opening 22 in the axial direction X, that is, on the side opposite to the opening 22 side in the scent presentation device 1A or the container main body 2A. In a state where the side is self-standing (upright) downward in the vertical direction, it is disposed above the constricted portion 24. The knob | pick part 23 is formed in the substantially spherical shape, and becomes a shape which a consumer is easy to pick. In addition, the shape of the knob | pick part 23 will not be restrict | limited especially if a consumer is a shape which is easy to pick. For example, in addition to the substantially spherical shape of the present embodiment, even a symmetrical shape with respect to the axial direction X such as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape or a substantially cubic shape is an asymmetric shape having design properties such as a tree or a star shape. Also good.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, an internal space 25 is provided inside the knob portion 23, and the internal space 25 and the internal space 21 of the housing portion 20 communicate with each other. In addition, the knob | pick part 23 does not necessarily need to be integrally molded with the accommodating part 20, and the internal space 25 does not need to be provided in the inside. For example, an attachment portion to which the knob portion 23 can be attached is provided above the constricted portion 24 of the accommodating portion 20, and the knob portion 23 is bonded to the attachment portion by any means such as fusion, fitting, screwing, and adhesive. It may be attached by.

  An engaged portion 26 that can be engaged with the locking member 4 described above is formed on the outer edge portion of the opening 22. The engaged portion 26 is formed in an annular shape and has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the locking member 4. In the present embodiment, the engaged portion 26 has such a size that a gap capable of sandwiching the sealing sheet 3 is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the engaged portion 26 and the inner peripheral surface of the locking member 4. Is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a screwing portion 27 capable of screwing the cover member 5 is formed on the other side in the axial direction X of the engaged portion 26. The threaded portion 27 is located outward of the outer peripheral surface of the engaged portion 26 in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction X of the container body 2 </ b> A, and is more outward than the outer peripheral surface of the engaged portion 26. Thus, the cover member 5 is screwed together.

  Further, the threaded portion 27 is formed with a threaded groove 28 that can be threaded into a later-described threaded groove 53 formed on the inner surface of the cover member 5. The threaded groove 28 is screwed with the cover member 5 by rotating the cover member 5 counterclockwise (counterclockwise), and the cover member 5 is rotated clockwise (clockwise) by rotating the cover member 5 clockwise. Can be removed. Thus, the screwing portion 27 and the cover member 5 can be screwed or removed by rotating the cover member 5 in the direction opposite to the general rotation direction, and the cover member 5 is consumed. It is prevented from being removed unnecessarily by a person.

  On the other side in the axial direction X of the threaded groove 28, a stopper portion 29 is provided that regulates the screwing position of the screwed cover member 5. The stopper portion 29 restricts the screwing position of the cover member 5 by locking the cover member 5.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the container main body 2A of the scent presentation device 1A is formed in a bell shape in which the bottom of the knob 23 is constricted with the knob 23 facing upward and the opening 22 facing downward. Has been. By making the container main body 2A of the scent presentation device 1A into a bell shape in which the lower part of the knob 23 is constricted, it becomes possible to attract the consumer's interest compared to a general cylindrical container. However, it is possible to facilitate performing an action such as picking and picking the scent presentation device 1A with a finger. That is, it becomes possible for the consumer to actively take the scent presentation device 1A. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, if the consumer tries to bring the opening 22 close to the nose while the user holds the knob 23, the opening 22 inevitably faces upward. The aromatic fluid accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 is naturally stirred and easily releases a scent.

  Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, 2 A of container main bodies are formed in the colored transparency which has the light transmittance which can visually recognize the inside. By forming the inside of the container main body 2A so as to be visible, a consumer can easily visually check the moving state and the amount of the aromatic fluid accommodated in the accommodating portion 20, and the scent presentation apparatus 1A can further increase the visibility. Can interest you. In the first embodiment, the container body 2A is colored and transparent. However, the container body may be colorless and transparent, and is translucent if the contained aromatic fluid is visible to the consumer. Also good. In addition, when the container body 2A is colored, it is easier to visually recognize the moving state by making the color different from the color of the aromatic fluid.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing sheet 3 is configured by a sheet that allows gas to pass but does not allow aromatic fluid to pass. In the first embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 allows gas such as a volatile aromatic component of the aromatic fluid to pass through, but does not allow the aromatic fluid itself to pass. For example, when the aromatic fluid is liquid, the sealing sheet is preferably a porous sheet that allows gas to pass but not liquid. Moreover, when an aromatic fluid is a granular material, it can also be set as a net-like sheet | seat, such as a mesh which has an opening of the grade which the said granular material does not pass. The material of the net-like sheet is arbitrary such as synthetic resin or metal.
In the first embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 is configured by a porous sheet that is a single-layer breathable sheet. As the porous sheet, a resin-made porous sheet or a resinous sheet having a vent can be used, and for example, a resin-made sheet such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer can be used. . Specifically, the resin-made porous sheet is obtained by forming a melt-kneaded product of a thermoplastic resin and an organic or inorganic filler incompatible with the resin into a film shape, and uniaxially or biaxially stretching. In other words, a fine porous structure can be used.
The thickness of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 5 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

  The air permeability of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 1000 seconds or more, more preferably 10,000 seconds or more, and preferably 100000 seconds or less from the viewpoint of odor quality, and 50000 seconds or less. It is even more preferable. The air permeability of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 1000 seconds or more and 100,000 seconds or less, and more preferably 10,000 seconds or more and 50000 seconds or less. The air permeability is a value measured according to JIS P8117 (2009 revised edition), and is defined as the time required for 100 ml of air to pass through an area of 6.45 cm 2 under a constant pressure. The air permeability can be measured with a Oken type air permeability needle or a measuring device according to it.

  As the sealing sheet 3, in addition to the porous sheet described above, a composite sheet in which a fiber layer is bonded to one surface of a porous film can also be used. When sealing the opening part 22 using a composite sheet, it is preferable to arrange | position so that a fiber layer may face an outer surface. The outer surface refers to the surface of the porous film that is bonded to the fiber layer as the outer surface, and the surface opposite to the surface that is bonded to the fiber layer is referred to as the inner surface.

It is preferable that the outer surface of the porous film is hydrophilic. Since the outer surface of the porous film is hydrophilic, for example, when the aromatic fluid comes into contact with the inner surface of the porous film, before the aromatic fluid exudes to the outside through the micropores of the porous film. In addition, the aromatic fluid can be diffused in the planar direction of the outer surface. Since the aromatic fluid diffused in the plane direction has an increased area in contact with air, the drying speed is increased and the fiber layer can be kept dry. Moreover, it is preferable that the inner surface of a porous film is hydrophobic from a viewpoint of preventing oozing out of an aromatic fluid.
As a porous film, the thing normally used as a moisture-permeable sheet can be especially used without a restriction | limiting. For example, a film obtained by uniaxially or biaxially stretching a molded sheet obtained from a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin and a filler such as calcium carbonate can be used.

From the viewpoint of diffusing the aromatic fluid in the planar direction on the outer surface of the porous film, the fiber layer is preferably hydrophobic. From the same viewpoint, in addition to the hydrophobicity of the fiber layer, the basis weight of the fiber layer is preferably 20 g / m ² or more. Specifically, the basis weight of the fiber layer is preferably ²⁰ to 50 g / m ² , more preferably 25 to 50 g / m ² , and still more preferably 28 to 40 g / m ² .
As the fiber layer, fibers made from various synthetic fibers, regenerated fibers such as rayon, natural fibers such as cotton and pulp, and the like can be used. When making a fiber layer hydrophobic, it is preferable to use the fiber which uses a hydrophobic synthetic fiber as a raw material. As the form of the fiber layer, a web, a nonwoven fabric obtained by fixing fiber improvement in the web, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or the like can be used without particular limitation.

The inner diameters of the first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b may be the same or different. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner diameter of the first packing member 6 a on the inner surface side of the sealing sheet 3 may be larger than the inner diameter of the second packing member 6 b on the outer surface side of the sealing sheet 3. The inner diameter of the second packing member 6 b on the outer surface side of the stop sheet 3 may be larger than the inner diameter of the first packing member 6 a on the inner surface side of the sealing sheet 3.
In this way, by arranging the first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b having different inner diameters on the outer surface side and the inner surface side of the sealing sheet 3, the scent strength and volatilization amount of the scent sample can be adjusted. . The inner surface of the sealing sheet 3 is a surface directed toward the aromatic fluid accommodated in the accommodating portion 20, and the outer surface of the sealing sheet 3 is a surface directed toward the opposite side to the aromatic fluid side. .

In the scent presentation apparatus 1A of the present embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 has a first packing member 6a disposed on the inner surface side thereof, and a second packing member 6b disposed on the outer surface side thereof. The outer peripheral portion surrounding the central region is arranged in the scent presentation device 1A in a state of being sandwiched between the first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b. The sealing sheet 3 only needs to be covered so that the aromatic fluid does not leak from the opening 22 of the housing part 20. As in the present embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 is opened by the opening 22 of the housing part 20. The opening 22 may be covered in a state in which other members such as the first packing member 6a exist between the peripheral edge of the first packing member 6a and the like.
The space between the sealing sheet 3 and the first packing member 6a and the space between the sealing sheet 3 and the second packing member 6b may not be joined.

  Alternatively, the sealing sheet 3 and the first packing member 6a may be joined to fix the sealing sheet 3 to the first packing member 6a, or the sealing sheet 3 and the second packing member 6b may be joined. The sealing sheet 3 may be fixed to the second packing member 6b. The joining method of the sealing sheet 3 and the 1st packing member 6a can be performed by heat sealing, an adhesive agent, or ultrasonic fusion. Similarly, the joining method of the sealing sheet 3 and the 2nd packing member 6b can be performed by heat sealing, an adhesive agent, or ultrasonic fusion.

  As the first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b, a resin foam sheet having a closed cell structure can be used. For example, a foam resin sheet obtained by firing a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene can be used. . The firing magnification of the foamed resin sheet using gas is preferably 2 to 3 times. The first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b can be resin-molded as they are, but have been subjected to lamination using PET, PP, PE, AL, Teflon (registered trademark), or the like. Is preferred. It is preferable that the thickness of the 1st packing member 6a and the 2nd packing member 6b is 0.5 mm or more and 3 mm or less.

The covering portion 50 of the cover member 5 may be a gap between the cover member 5 and the sealing sheet 3 or may not have a gap. In any case, it is possible to prevent the sheet from being damaged due to contact with human fingers or other objects.

  In the first embodiment, the plurality of through holes 52 are mainly formed in a honeycomb shape. However, in the present invention, a plurality of through holes may be used to simulate a predetermined pattern or the like. For example, when the fragrance of the aromatic fluid is the same as that of a predetermined shampoo, a plurality of through holes 52 may be used to simulate the brand logo of the predetermined shampoo. By imitating a brand logo or the like on the covering portion 50 using the plurality of through holes 52, it becomes possible to make the consumer more interested. Further, for example, when the consumer picks the knob part 23 and looks at the covering part 50, the aromatic fluid housed in the container part is stirred and the scent is easily released. In addition, for example, it is possible for a consumer to recognize which brand's scent only by looking at the covering portion 50, and it can be expected that the consumer can take the scent presentation device 1A.

  A screwing groove 53 that can be screwed with the screwed groove 28 formed in the screwing part 27 is formed in the screwing part 51. The cover member 5 is fixed to the screwing portion 27 by screwing the screwing groove 53 into the screwed groove 28 and restricting the screwing position to the stopper portion 29.
