Description

The present invention is an instrument (tool) for confirming the effectiveness of a deodorizing agent, and is an object of the present invention to conduct a demonstration that allows the user to intuitively confirm the effectiveness of a deodorizing agent with an extremely simple structure and an extremely simple operation. This article relates to a simple portable odor comparison box that can be used to compare smells.

Conventionally, many products with a deodorizing function (including a deodorizing function) have been sold, and it is expected that many products of this type will be commercialized in the future. As described above, when a large number of deodorants are on the market, their deodorizing effectiveness also varies. In particular, it is expected that even better deodorants will be developed in the future with further research and development. Therefore, in order to promote the sales of deodorants, manufacturers and distributors find it extremely effective advertising means to conduct demonstrations in which retailers or consumers can directly experience the effectiveness of deodorants. Become.

Therefore, in order to confirm the effectiveness of deodorants, deodorant manufacturers and their distributors select foodstuffs as samples with strong odors, and to what extent can the odor be suppressed by deodorants. If there is a device that helps you intuitively judge and confirm whether something is done by smelling it through the deodorant, it could be an extremely effective device for promoting sales through demonstrations. .

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-169937 JP 2018-146573 Publication

The samples used to confirm the effectiveness of deodorants through demonstrations for sales promotion are those that are readily available and have relatively strong odors. A variety of ingredients will be used. As a sample of such a strong smell of food, it is preferable to use one that is commonly known to everyone. Dried fish, boiled fish, etc. are suitable as such samples.

Therefore, to confirm the effectiveness of deodorants, we usually use a known food sample as a sample, and intuitively determine whether or not the sample emits a characteristic odor, or whether the odor has weakened. It is preferable as a demonstration device for sales promotion. Furthermore, such instruments (or tools) have a simple structure, are easy to carry, allow anyone to understand what the sample used is, and are sensitive to each person's sense of smell. Alternatively, it is preferable to use one that allows the user to intuitively judge and confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant using only the sense of smell.

By the way, there have conventionally been various devices, instruments, tools, or systems for measuring the sense of smell or the sense of smell, and examples of this type of devices include Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. First, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2018-146573) discloses a detector, an analyzer, etc., a sniff pipe that guides a mixed gas of eluted sample components and humidified air to the nose of the measurer, a mixing block, an odor component sender, etc. A first inert treatment membrane and a second inert treatment membrane are provided on the surface of the mixing channel and the introduction hole in the mixing block, as well as on the inner surface of the odor component sender and the inner surface of the sniff pipe. The structure is such that the following are arranged.

Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2018-146573), an olfactory testing device makes air flowing into an inflow path by a compressor pass through a sonic nozzle to maintain a constant flow rate and flow rate, and the air is branched. Gases with odors of various strengths are generated by passing through an open inflow valve provided in the inflow path and flowing into one of the sample containers, and the gas is passed through the open inflow valve provided in the inflow path. It is designed to be heated by a heater installed in the nose mask and released inside the nose mask.

Both Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 seem to have sufficient ability to measure and analyze odors. However, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the entire device is extremely large-scale due to its contents. Therefore, when such a device is actually used for demonstration purposes, the preparations and work required to be able to use the device and the steps to actually operate it are extremely troublesome. . Furthermore, the cost of the device itself is extremely high. Furthermore, it is also quite costly to transport the product to the location where the demonstration will be held.

Furthermore, the problem is that the purpose of the demonstration is to intuitively judge and confirm whether or not the odor of the food used as an absorbent material has actually disappeared. In such demonstrations, there is no need for extremely expensive large-scale equipment that chemically analyzes odors, and it is possible to quantify odors and intuitively judge the effectiveness of deodorizing. It is not something that can be confirmed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device (tool) for demonstration that allows one to intuitively judge and confirm the effectiveness of a deodorant by simply smelling it.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional front view of a portable simple odor comparison box in which a guide step for the lid is provided on the box side, with the box and lid separated.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. The portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention consists of an absorbent material 81 that has a deodorizing function and is sprayed with a deodorant using a spray can (bottle) 8s, and a non-absorbent material 81 that is not sprayed with deodorant and has a deodorizing function. By smelling the sample 6p through the absorbent material 82, the odor of the sample 6p can be compared and contrasted, and the deodorizing effect can be intuitively judged and confirmed. It is a device [see FIG. 1(A), FIG. 3, FIG. 5, etc.].

Further, the device may be referred to as an instrument or a tool. Moreover, the absorbent material 81 herein is one that has a function of absorbing odors, and the non-absorbent material 82 is one that does not have a function of absorbing odors. Further, the deodorizing structure of the absorbent material 81 includes all odor absorbing means such as those that collect and absorb odors and those that decompose and deodorize odors.

Note that the deodorant here refers to one that has a deodorizing function (including a deodorizing function), and also includes one that also functions as a disinfectant. In addition, there are various deodorants, but specifically, those that use photocatalysts react with light to decompose organic substances and deodorize. There are also deodorizers based on activated carbon. In the present invention, almost any type of deodorant can be used as long as it can be sprayed onto the base material 8p. Deodorizers deodorize all kinds of organic gases, such as the odor of sweat containing components such as acetaldehyde, Sox and Nox whose main components are cigarettes, cigarette ash, and exhaust gas. It is the smell of all foods, such as dried fish, boiled food, and the sauce for grilled meat. A deodorant is usually stored in a spray can (bottle) 8s, and is deodorized by spraying it onto an object.

The present invention has two embodiments, and the first embodiment will be explained first. The main components include a box part 1 made of a transparent or translucent material, a lid part 2 made of the same material as the box part 1 and shaped like a flat plate, a fan 3, and a first pipe 4. , a second tube 5, and a sample case 6 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The box body part 1, the lid body part 2, the first tube 4, and the second tube 5 are made of a transparent or semitransparent material, and specifically, they are made of synthetic resin, such as acrylic resin or plastic [Fig. 1(B) ), see Figures 2(A) and (B)]. The box body part 1 is a substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped box, and is composed of a bottom plate 11 and four side plates 12 [see FIG. 1(B), FIG. 2, etc.]. An air circulation hole 1a is formed in one of the four side plates 12 of the box part 1, and a fan 3 is installed at the air circulation hole 1a. In the embodiment of the present invention, the side plate 12 in which the air circulation hole 1a is provided has a long side [see FIGS. 1(A), (B), FIG. 2, etc.].

The fan 3 is rotated by a motor using an external power source such as a battery. By rotating, the fan 3 causes air to flow into the box body part 1 from the outside of the box body part 1 through the air circulation hole 1a, and flows into the first pipe 4 and the second pipe through the cover body part 2, which will be described later. This is to send air into the pipe 5 [see Fig. 3(A)]. Note that the box body part 1 is not provided with an air circulation hole 1a, and by starting the fan 3, wind pressure is generated by air flow inside the box body part 1 covered with the lid body part 2, and the wind pressure is The odor of the sample 6p may be sent to the first tube 4 and the second tube 5 via the lid 2, which will be described later.

The lid part 2 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material like the box part 1, and is specifically made of synthetic resin such as acrylic resin or plastic. Preferably, the lid part 2 and the box part 1 is preferably made of the same material. The lid part 2 serves to cover the opening by covering the box part 1. The lid body part 2 has a lid main plate 21, and the lid main plate 21 has a shape that is approximately the same and approximately the same size as the opening of the box body part 1 [FIG. 1(B), FIG. 2, FIG. 7(A) ), etc.].

The main lid plate 21 has a first exhaust port 21a and a second exhaust port 21b [see FIG. 1(B), FIG. 2, etc.]. A first cylindrical connection part 22 is provided on either side of the lid main plate 21 around the first exhaust port 21a, and a second cylindrical connection part 23 is provided around the second exhaust port 21b. is provided [see Figure 1(B), Figure 2, etc.].

The first exhaust port 21a and the second exhaust port 21b are arranged at a predetermined interval. Specifically, the first exhaust port 21a and the first exhaust port 21a are circular with the same diameter, and the first cylindrical connecting portion 22 and the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 are hollow cylindrical bodies. The inner diameters of the first cylindrical connecting part 22 and the second cylindrical connecting part 23 are formed larger than the diameters of the first exhaust port 21a and the second exhaust port 21b [FIGS. 1(B) and 2]. (A), see Figure 3].

The first cylindrical connecting part 22 is fixed to the lid main plate 21 with the same diameter center so as to be concentric with the first exhaust port 21a. It communicates with the cylindrical connection part 22 so that air and odor can circulate therein. Similarly, the second cylindrical connection part 23 is fixed to the lid main plate 21 with the diameter center being the same so as to form a concentric circle with the second exhaust port 21b. The two cylindrical connecting portions 23 communicate with each other so that air and odor can flow therethrough. [See Figures 1(A), (B), and Figure 2].

The first tube 4 and the second tube 5 are tubular or cylindrical, specifically cylindrical, elongated in the axial direction, and approximately baton-like in shape [Fig. 1(C) reference〕. The first tube 4 is formed so that its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cylindrical connecting portion 22, and the axial end portion of the first tube 4 is inserted into the inner peripheral side of the first cylindrical connecting portion 22. It is now possible to do so. Specifically, one axial end of the first tube 4 can be inserted (also referred to as loose insertion) into the first cylindrical connecting portion 22 with a margin.

In this way, the first tube 4 can be easily erected by the first cylindrical connection part 22, and the first tube 4 can be easily removed from the first cylindrical connection part 22. The structure is such that they can be freely attached and detached from each other [see FIG. 2(A)]. The first exhaust port 21a, the first cylindrical connection part 22, and the first pipe 4 are configured to allow air and odor to flow therethrough.

Similarly, the outer diameter of the second pipe 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second cylindrical connecting part 23, and the axial end portion of the second pipe 5 is located inside the second cylindrical connecting part 23. It can be inserted on the circumferential side. Specifically, one axial end of the second pipe 5 can be inserted (also referred to as loose insertion) into the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 with a margin. In this way, the second pipe 5 can be easily erected by the second cylindrical connection part 23, and the second pipe 5 can be easily removed from the second cylindrical connection part 23. The structure is such that they can be freely attached and detached from each other [see FIG. 2(A)]. The second exhaust port 21b, the second cylindrical connection part 23, and the second pipe 5 are configured to allow air and odor to flow therethrough.

Further, as a second embodiment of the present invention, the inner diameter of the first pipe 4 is set larger than the outer diameter of the first cylindrical connecting part 22, and the first cylindrical connecting part 22 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the first pipe 4. The first tube 4 is housed and supported in an upright state on the outer circumferential side of the first cylindrical connection part 22 so that the outer circumferential side of the second tube 5 is inserted (or loosely inserted) into the second tube. The outer diameter of the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 is set larger than the outer diameter of the second tube 5 so that the outer circumferential side of the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 is inserted (or loosely inserted) into the inner circumferential side of the second tube 5. There is also an embodiment in which it is housed and supported in an upright state on the outer circumferential side of the cylindrical connection part 23 [see FIG. 6(A)].

The first pipe 4 stores an absorbent material 81 to which a deodorant is sprayed by a spray can (bottle) 8s, and the second pipe 5 stores a non-absorbent material 82 to which no deodorant is sprayed. Here, the base material 8p that becomes the absorbent material 81 and the non-absorbent material 82 is a porous (or porous) fabric, fabric, nonwoven fabric, paper material, wood, styrofoam, sponge, rubber, ceramic, metal cotton, etc. There are, specifically, pieces of cloth, tissue paper, nets, metal scrubbers, etc. Further, the absorbent material 81 includes the base material 8p containing a deodorizing agent which is the subject of a demonstration. Note that the second tube 5 may not contain the non-absorbent material 82.

Further, the lid part 2 may be provided with a closing guide 24 in order to properly close the opening of the box part 1. The closing guide 24 has a square shaft (bar) shape, and is provided near both short sides when the lid main plate 21 of the lid body portion 2 is rectangular. In addition, when the lid body part 2 is used in a demonstration, the lid body part 2 is attached to the box body part 1 such that the first cylindrical connecting part 22 and the second cylindrical connecting part 23 are located on the upper side surface of the lid main plate 21. It is installed by covering it [see Figure 1(A), Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 5, etc.].

Furthermore, when the portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention is not in use, such as after the end of a demonstration, the first cylindrical connection part 22 and the second cylindrical connection part 23 are directed toward the box part 1 side. It is placed over the box part 1 [see FIGS. 7(A) and 7(C)]. Therefore, the closing guide 24 is provided on both the upper and lower side surfaces of the lid main plate 21 (see FIGS. 2, 3, etc.). Further, the closing guide 24 may not be provided on the lid portion 2, but the closing guide 24 may be provided on the box portion 1 side (see FIG. 8(B)).

Next, a demonstration of a deodorant to be promoted using the portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention will be explained based mainly on FIGS. 4, 5, and the like. During the demonstration, participants who participated as regular customers were asked to intuitively judge and confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant. First, two base materials 8p that are the source of the absorbent material 81 and the non-absorbent material 82 are prepared, and the participant confirms that the two base materials 8p are odorless [(I ), (II)].

Here, the base material 8p is fabric, nonwoven fabric, tissue paper, metal nonwoven fabric, etc., as described above. Next, a deodorant to be demonstrated is sprayed onto one base material 8p using a spray can (bottle) 8s or the like to produce an absorbent material 81 (see FIG. 4(B)). See I). Further, the other base material 8p is not sprayed with deodorant and is not processed in any way and becomes a non-absorbent material 82 [see (II) in FIG. 4(B)].

When the deodorant is contained in a spray can (bottle) of 8s, the deodorant can be evenly and efficiently sprayed onto the base material 8p. Next, the absorbent material 81 which has been sprayed with a deodorant onto the base material 8p using a spray can (bottle) 8s is stored in the first pipe 4 [see (I) in FIG. 4(C)], and the non-absorbent material 82 is It is stored in the second tube 5 [see (II) in FIG. 4(C)].

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first pipe 4 houses the absorbent material 81 sprayed with the deodorant targeted for sales promotion, and the second pipe 5 is not sprayed with the deodorant. The explanation will be made assuming that the non-absorbent material 82 is stored. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, the first tube 4 (including the first exhaust port 21a of the lid body part 2 and the first cylindrical connection part 22) is used as the deodorizing side that eliminates the odor of the sample 6p, and the second tube 5 (lid (including the second exhaust port 21b and the second cylindrical connection part 23) of the body part 2 is set as the odor side that directly transmits the odor of the sample 6p. The deodorizing side and the odorizing side are described in the main diagram. In order to simplify the setting operation, the second pipe 5 on the odor-producing side may be left empty without storing the non-absorbent material 82 [see FIG. 6(A)].

Next, a sample 6p that generates an odor is placed in the sample case 6. For sample 6p, foods with a strong odor are suitable.Specifically, typical foods with a strong odor include dried fish, simmered foods, Kusaya, etc., and examples of relatively common and easily available foods include Japanese squid. is suitable. Then, the sample case 6 is stored in the box part 1, and then the lid part 2 is placed over the opening of the box part 1, and the opening of the box part 1 is closed by the lid main plate 21 of the lid part 2. . At this time, the first cylindrical connecting part 22 and the second cylindrical connecting part 23 of the lid body part 2 are set so as to face upward [see FIGS. 1(A), 2, and 3]. That is, the lid part 2 is closed to the box part 1 so that the first cylindrical connecting part 22 and the second cylindrical connecting part 23 are exposed to the outside.

Next, the axial lower end portion of the first tube 4 containing the absorbent material 81 is inserted into the first cylindrical connection portion 22 of the lid body 2, and the first tube 4 is vertically erected on the lid body 2. The axial lower end portion of the second tube 5 containing the non-absorbent material 82 is inserted into the second cylindrical connecting portion 23, and the second tube 5 is vertically erected on the lid portion 2 (see FIG. 2). Next, the fan 3 is started, air from outside the box body part 1 is introduced into the box body part 1 through the air circulation hole 1a, and the air is transferred to the first exhaust port 21a and the first exhaust port 21a of the lid body part 2. 2 to the exhaust port 21b (see Figure 3).

At this time, the odor of the sample 6p in the sample case 6 is sent to the first pipe 4 from the first exhaust port 21a by air. Then, the odor of the sample 6p sent to the first tube 4 is deodorized by the absorbent material 81 [see FIG. 3(B)]. The user can bring his/her nose close to the opening at the upper end of the first tube 4, smell the odor, and intuitively confirm that there is no odor [see FIG. 5(B)]. In this way, the user can intuitively confirm that the odor of the sample 6p has been removed by the absorbent material 81 housed in the first tube 4, and that the sample 6p has been deodorized (see Figure 5(A)). ].

At the same time, the odor of the sample 6p in the sample case 6 is also sent to the second pipe 5 from the second exhaust port 21b due to the air flow by the fan 3 (see FIG. 5). The odor sent to the second tube 5 is not deodorized by the absorbent material 81 that does not contain a deodorizing agent, and the odor of the sample 6p is directly emitted from the upper opening of the second tube 5, and the user The odor of the sample 6p can be confirmed by bringing the nose close to the upper end opening of the second tube 5 on the odoriferous side and smelling it [see FIG. 5(B)].

In this way, by using the portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention for demonstration, the person experiencing the product can confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant that is the subject of sales promotion. In the demonstration, participants first confirmed the deodorization of sample 6p in the first tube 4 on the deodorizing side, and then later confirmed the odor of sample 6p in the second tube 5 on the odoriferous side. However, the order is not limited to this, and the second pipe 5 on the odoriferous side may be checked for odor first, and then the first pipe 4 on the deodorizing side may be checked for deodorization.

Next, a cap member 7 may be provided to close the opening at the upper end of either the first tube 4 or the second tube 5 in the upright state [see FIGS. 6(B) and 6(C)]. The cap material 7 is arranged to cover the opening at the upper end of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5. The capping material 7 prevents the odor of the sample 6p from leaking from the odoriferous side of the second tube 5 in which the non-absorbing material 82 is housed by blocking the upper end opening of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5. A material that is in close contact with the vicinity of the opening of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5 is preferable, and specifically, a rubber material is preferable.

Only one cap material 7 may be provided for one portable simple odor comparison box. The cap material 7 is used to compare the effectiveness of the deodorizing effect of the first tube 4 on the deodorizing side containing the absorbent material 81 to the second tube 5 on the odoriferous side using a portable simple odor comparison box. This prevents the odor of the sample 6p from leaking from the upper end opening, making it easier to confirm and judge the deodorizing effectiveness of the first tube 4 on the deodorizing side [see FIG. 6(B)].
