Description

The present invention relates to a container for accommodating a volatile drug such as an fragrance or a deodorant, and more particularly to an fragrance container capable of adjusting a volatile amount of a drug over a wide range.

For the fragrances and deodorants used in the living room or in the automobile, volatile chemicals are stored in a container having a window hole, and the volatile amount is adjusted by changing the area of the window. Alternatively, a method is also known in which a core material impregnated with a chemical solution in a container is installed so that it can be taken in and out, and the area of the core material in contact with air is changed to adjust the volatilization amount.

The device for accommodating a volatile drug described in Patent Document 1 is a device having a mechanism in which the volatilization amount of the drug is largely changed by reversing the device.

These conventional methods all use natural convection of air in the space to diffuse the drug, so that the control range is naturally limited.

FIG. 5 is a perspective explanatory view of the state of FIG. 4, and shows how the impeller is rotated. FIG. 6 is a perspective explanatory view showing the assembly of each component constituting the aromatic container according to the present invention.

The fragrance container according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1(a) is a schematic plan view of an aromatic container according to the present invention, and FIG. 1(b) is a schematic front view. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the fragrance container shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective explanatory view showing the assembly of each component constituting the aromatic container according to the present invention.

The fragrance container according to the present invention has a container body 10 which is circular in plan view, a cover 20 which is screwed onto the container body 10, and a circular container which is fitted to the cover 20 and is rotatable about a horizontal rotation axis in plan view. A lid 30 is provided, and the lid 30 is provided with an impeller 40 rotatable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the lid.

In the state shown in FIG. 1, the lid 30 is in a state in which the surface plate 31 is horizontal, and the opening of the container body 10 is closed. The lid 30 can rotate around lid rotation bearings 22a and 22b provided on the cover 20. FIG. 3 is a perspective explanatory view showing a state in which the lid body 30 is rotated about 45° from the state of FIG. 4 and 5 show a state in which the lid body 30 is further rotated and rotated by 90° from the horizontal position. In this state, the lid body 30 is fully opened. In this way, by rotating the lid 30 from 0 to 90°, an arbitrary aperture ratio can be selected from the fully closed state to the fully opened state.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the lid body 30 is provided with an impeller 40 rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to the lid body. In the impeller 40, as shown in FIG. 6, the impeller rotation shafts 43a and 43b are fitted to the impeller rotation bearings 34a and 34b provided at the centers of the front surface plate 31 and the rear surface plate 32 of the lid 30, respectively. Thus, the lid 30 is rotatably held. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, by rotating the impeller 40 after rotating the lid 30 to open it, the drug can be rapidly volatilized.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the lid 30 has a disc-shaped front plate 31 and a back plate 32, and two opposing connecting plates 33a and 33b connecting these. Lid rotating shafts 35a and 35b are provided at the centers of the respective connecting plates. Impeller rotary bearings 34a and 34b are provided at the centers of the front surface plate 31 and the rear surface plate 32, respectively.
The impeller 40 can be inserted into the side surface of the lid body 30 and the rotary shafts 43a and 43b can be fitted into the impeller rotary bearings 34a and 34b of the lid body 30, respectively.

As described above, in this example, not all the bearings are cantilevered but have a double bearing structure, so that the lid 30 and the impeller 40 can rotate smoothly. However, it is not always necessary to have a double-support structure, and it is sufficient that smooth rotation can be obtained even with a cantilever.

The lid body 30 has a circular shape in plan view and rotates about the lid body rotation shafts 35a and 35b, so that the entire lid body has a three-dimensional shape inscribed in one sphere. Therefore, each of the connecting plates 33a and 33b also has a shape similar to a spherical surface.

As shown in FIG. 6, in this example, the impeller 40 has the rotating shafts 43a and 43b in the center thereof, and the plurality of blade plates 41 arranged radially from the rotating shaft and the plurality of blade plates 41. It has one bottom plate 42 to be connected. Due to the presence of the bottom plate 42, the individual vane plates 41 do not fall apart and the overall strength is improved. A top plate may be provided on the opposite side of the bottom plate 42, but in that case, a mold having a very complicated structure is required for injection molding, which is not so realistic.

In FIG. 6, a male screw portion 11 is provided on the upper portion of the container body 10 and is screwed into a female screw portion 21 provided on the lower portion of the cover 20. The threaded portion may be male and female reversed, or may be a partial screw instead of the full screw as shown.

The material used for the fragrance container 1 according to the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be any material that is not corroded by the stored contents. Generally, polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, styrene resin, AS resin, ABS resin and the like can be used.
