Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to obtain a holder for an air freshener container that can promote the volatilization of the air freshener when the canned air freshener container is used with the lid on the bottom side removed. ..

That is, the air freshener container holder according to the present invention is a holder for an air freshener container that supports the air freshener container, has a bottom plate facing the bottom surface of the air freshener container, and has the air freshener container as the bottom plate. A support member for supporting the air freshener container with a gap between the two is provided, and the support member is configured to allow gas to flow into the gap from the outside while supporting the air freshener container. is there.

In such a case, a support member having a bottom plate facing the bottom surface of the air freshener container and holding the air freshener container with a gap between the bottom plate was provided, and the support member supported the air freshener container. In this state, the gas is configured to flow into the gap from the outside, so that the gas flowing into the gap passes from the bottom surface side to the top surface side of the air freshener container, and the volatilization of the air freshener is promoted.

Further, since the support member has a bottom plate facing the bottom surface of the air freshener container, when the lids on the upper surface and the bottom surface of the air freshener container are removed, the air freshener that could not be completely impregnated into the porous body is concerned. Even if it leaks from the bottom surface side, the leaked air freshener can be caught by the bottom plate.

Further, the support member is further provided with a holding mechanism for holding the support member in a blower port provided in the vehicle, and the support member further has an outer peripheral wall rising from a facing surface facing the bottom surface of the bottom plate, and the air freshener container. Is fitted into the outer peripheral wall to support the gas, and the gas blown from the air outlet is passed through the communication hole formed in the outer peripheral wall while being held by the holding mechanism in the air outlet. It may be the one that flows in.

In such a case, since the support member is configured to fit and hold the air freshener container in the outer peripheral wall rising from the surface facing the bottom surface of the bottom plate, the gap is surrounded by the outer peripheral wall. .. As a result, the gas introduced from the communication hole into the gap efficiently passes through the air freshener container from the bottom surface side to the top surface side. Further, since the gas can be forcibly flowed into the gap by utilizing the flow of the gas blown from the air outlet through the communication hole, the volatilization of the air freshener is further promoted. Here, the communication hole may be a hole-shaped one formed on the outer peripheral wall, and the air freshener container also becomes a hole-shaped as a part of the configuration in a state where the air freshener container is fitted in the outer peripheral wall. It may be a thing.

Further, the support member may further have a second communication hole that allows the gas that has flowed into the gap from the communication hole to flow out of the gap.

In such a case, a part of the gas that has flowed into the gap through the communication hole can flow out of the gap from a direction different from the opening direction of the opening formed by opening the lid on the upper surface of the air freshener container. As a result, the air freshener volatilized from the air freshener container can be sent out in more directions. Here, the second communication hole may be a hole-shaped one formed in the outer peripheral wall like the communication hole, and the air freshener container may also be in a state where the air freshener container is fitted in the outer peripheral wall. It may be perforated as part of the configuration.

Further, the second communication hole may be arranged at a position shifted in the circumferential direction from the position of the outer peripheral wall facing the communication hole.

In such a case, the gas flowing into the gap from the communication hole does not directly go to the second communication hole, but once collides with the outer peripheral wall and then goes to the second communication hole. As a result, the gas introduced into the gap passes through the inside of the air freshener container in preference to the gas introduced from the second communication hole, and the volatilization of the air freshener is promoted.

Further, the holding mechanism holds the support member in the air outlet arranged below the bottom plate, and the support member is held in the air outlet by the holding mechanism. It may be arranged so as to project outward from the outer peripheral wall and face the air outlet, and further have an air guide portion for guiding the gas blown from the air outlet to the communication hole. ..

In such a case, for example, when the support member is held by the upward-facing air outlet formed near the windshield of the dashboard of a car, the gas blown from the air outlet is efficiently blown by the air guide. It will be introduced into the gap.

Further, the holding mechanism may hold the support member with the communication hole facing the air outlet facing sideways.

In such a case, for example, when the support member is held in the air outlet facing the driver's seat side of the dashboard of the car, the gas blown from the air outlet is efficiently introduced into the gap through the communication hole. Will be done.

According to the present invention, when a canned type air freshener container is used with the lid on the bottom side removed, volatilization of the air freshener can be promoted.
