Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an air freshener container, and particularly relates to improvement of a mechanism for holding a volatilizer that comes into contact with a core body immersed in a liquid air freshener.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The applicant of the present application has provided the fragrance container using a volatilizer in contact with a core body immersed in a liquid fragrance, which is described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-41887. This is a storage container for the liquid fragrance, a first fragrance part provided with a volatilizer that is detachably attached to the container mouth and is in contact with the core body immersed in the liquid fragrance, and the upper part of the first fragrance part. The second fragrance section is placed in the room and contains a natural or synthetic solid fragrance, so that you can enjoy a scent that mixes the fragrances of both the liquid fragrance and the solid fragrance.

Since the volatilizer needs to be held immovably in the first fragrance part, the bottom part of the second fragrance part and the upper surface of the mouth wall of the core body through hole at the bottom part of the first fragrance case are used. Then, the volatilizer was sandwiched between these.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the fragrance container described in the above publication, the fragrance case forming the second fragrance portion is made of a transparent resin so that the natural fragrance such as potpourri can be seen from the outside. Use polystyrene and other plastics. On the other hand, since polystyrene has poor solvent resistance, it is easily deteriorated by the liquid fragrance, and the volatilizer wet with the liquid fragrance cannot be brought into contact with the fragrance case. Therefore, the fragrance case of the first fragrance part uses a chemical resistant resin, such as polypropylene, which is a different material from the polystyrene fragrance case of the second fragrance part, and the bottom part of the second fragrance part is also a volatilizer. Since it is the part that comes into contact, the bottom part is constructed by attaching a non-woven fabric to a frame made of polypropylene or the like in consideration of chemical resistance.

Therefore, the structure of the conventional fragrance part has three configurations: a fragrance case of the first fragrance part, a fragrance case of the second fragrance part, and a partition part for partitioning the first fragrance part and the second fragrance part. There is a problem that it is composed of constituent members, and it takes time and effort to combine these at the time of use, and a mold is required for each, resulting in high manufacturing cost.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an air freshener container which has a reduced number of parts, is inexpensive, and is hardly deteriorated by a liquid air freshener.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the applicant of the present application has studied the means for reducing the number of components of the fragrance part while maintaining a high transparency that allows natural solid fragrances such as potpourri to be seen from the outside. We focused on using a cap that closes the mouth of the liquid fragrance storage container in order to make it an integral structure. That is, usually, the cap of the container for storing the liquid fragrance is made of a chemically resistant resin such as polypropylene in consideration of the permeation of the liquid fragrance contained therein.

[0008] Therefore, in the case of an aroma case using polystyrene or the like, which has high transparency for the purpose of visually observing a natural solid fragrance such as potpourri from the outside, the volatile substance and the natural fragrance in which the liquid fragrance permeates the fragrance case. It was found that the fragrance case is not contaminated by the liquid fragrance when the volatile substance is received by using the chemical resistant cap even when the fragrance is stored together. . Of course, even if the fragrance part does not contain the above-mentioned natural solid fragrance, but contains only the volatilizer, the cap is used to prevent the fragrance case from being polluted by the liquid fragrance. This contributes to the reduction of the number of parts.

That is, the fragrance container according to the present invention is provided with a liquid fragrance storage container and a volatile substance which is removably attached to the container mouth and which comes into contact with the core body immersed in the liquid fragrance. And a through-hole for holding the cap of the storage container through is formed in the bottom of the fragrance part, the cap is made of chemical resistant resin, and the upper surface of the cap is the volatilizer receiver. It prevents the fragrance case from being contaminated by the liquid fragrance that wets the body.

In particular, even when the fragrance portion is provided with the first fragrance portion for installing the volatilizer and the second fragrance portion for storing the natural or synthetic solid fragrance as in claim 2, If the first fragrance part and the second fragrance part are vertically divided and formed by the integrally molded fragrance case, and the volatilizer receiver uses the upper surface of the cap, the fragrance case is prevented from being soiled. Therefore, it is possible to provide an air freshener container having a small number of parts.

The fragrance case may be made of glass in consideration of the prevention of stains, but plastic is preferable to glass from the viewpoint of workability and manufacturing cost of the partition plate locking and holding mechanism and the like. . A styrene resin such as polystyrene can be considered as a plastic that can meet the same transparency demands as the fragrance case made of glass. When this styrene resin is used as a material, its solvent resistance is poor and it easily deteriorates. Therefore, it is desirable that the partition plate that comes into contact with the volatilization body be made of a chemical resistant resin.

Therefore, as an optimum embodiment, a structure in which the fragrance case is made of transparent styrene resin, the partition plate is made of a chemical resistant resin, and the volatilization body is held between the partition plate and the cap. This has been adopted to ensure that the volatilizer is retained and prevent the fragrance case from becoming dirty.

As the chemical-resistant cap, it is desirable to use polypropylene, polyethylene, or the like, which is a versatile plastic, as a material. In addition, the perforation hole of the fragrance part that penetrates the cap has a structure in which a hole is simply drilled in the bottom of the bowl-shaped fragrance case to reduce the material, and in order to prevent the fragrance case from coming off the storage container, It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a holding cylinder is formed and a lower flange of the cap is engaged with a part of the holding cylinder.

[0014]

[Action]

 As described above, since the volatilizer receiver is provided on the upper surface of the chemical-resistant cap, it is possible to prevent the fouling of the cap and the aroma case due to the volatilizer wet with the liquid fragrance. Therefore, styrene resin such as polystyrene is used for the fragrance case to increase transparency, and natural solid fragrances such as potpourri are made visible from the outside. Even when the fragrance is mixed and the fragrance is enjoyed, it is possible to prevent the fragrance case from being contaminated by the liquid fragrance and provide a durable fragrance container.

Further, since the cap of the storage container is used as the volatilizer receiver, the material of the volatilizer receiver can be omitted accordingly, the material cost can be reduced, and an inexpensive air freshener container can be provided. be able to.

The storage container 2 is made of glass, in which the liquid fragrance 4 is stored, and the core body 7 held by the core holder 6 fitted in the container mouth portion 5 is immersed in the liquid fragrance. . A cap 8 made of a material such as a chemical resistant resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene is screwed into the container mouth portion 5. A core hole 9 is formed on the upper surface of the cap 8 for allowing the core body 7 to penetrate therethrough. The core hole 9 has an inner plug ( (Not shown) is fitted, and during use, the inner plug is removed from the core hole 9 to penetrate the core body 7 to contact the volatilization body 12 on the aroma section 3 side and volatilize the upper surface of the cap 8. The body support is set to 10.

On the other hand, the fragrance part 3 includes a first fragrance part 13 in which the volatilizer 12 is installed, and a second fragrance part 15 in which a natural or synthetic solid fragrance 14 is stored. The upper second fragrance portion 14 is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition plate 17 which is detachably attached to an integrally formed fragrance case 16. The fragrance case 16 is made of transparent polystyrene and is formed into a substantially bowl shape, and a holding cylinder 18 for holding the cap therethrough is integrally formed at the center of the bottom.

As shown in FIG. 3, a thin elastic locking piece 19 is formed on a part of the holding cylinder 18 in order to fit and hold the cap, and the locking piece 19 has a lower flange of the cap. J8a is locked. In addition, in FIG. 3, 18a shows a notch. In addition, diffusion holes 20 are formed at a plurality of locations on the lower side surface and the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the fragrance case 16, and there are a plurality of locations on the inner wall of the middle portion of the fragrance case 16 above the diffusion holes 20. An engaging piece 21 for preventing the partition plate 17 from rising is formed on the bottom.

As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate 17 is made of a chemical resistant resin, for example, polypropylene, and has a large number of small parts for guiding the aroma from the first fragrance portion to the second fragrance portion side in the central portion. Holes 22 are formed, notches 23 for avoiding the locking pieces 21 of the fragrance case 16 are formed at a plurality of locations on the outer peripheral portion, and solid fragrance drop-preventing pieces 24 are formed on the cutouts 23. Further, a partition plate knob 25 is formed on the central upper surface of the partition plate 17, and a volatilizer 12 is prevented from contacting the partition plate surface on the central lower surface to form a space between the partition plate and the plate surface. A protrusion 26 for performing the operation is formed, and further, a hanging piece 27 that fits and holds the outer peripheral portion of the volatilization body 12 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the lower surface.

In the above-mentioned configuration, when the fragrance is sold, the cap 8 is sold with the inside plug closed to prevent volatilization of the liquid fragrance in the storage container. At the time of use, the inner plug is removed, the core body 7 is pulled out, the cap 8 is fitted and held in the holding cylinder 18 at the bottom of the fragrance case 16, and the core body 7 is brought into contact with the volatilization body 12 of the first fragrance part. use.

Then, the volatilization body 12 is sandwiched between the upper surface 10 of the cap 8 and the protrusion 26 of the partition plate 17, and the liquid fragrance 4 does not come into contact with the fragrance case 16 made of polystyrene at all, so that the liquid fragrance 4 does not come into contact with the liquid fragrance. While preventing the fragrance 4 from penetrating into the polystyrene and fouling it, the member that comes into contact with the volatilizer 12 has chemical resistance, which makes it possible to provide a durable fragrance container.

Moreover, since the fragrance case 16 is made of polystyrene to increase the transparency, natural solid fragrances such as potpourri can be seen from the outside, and the fragrance of the liquid fragrance and the fragrance of the natural fragrance can be detected. You can mix and enjoy the fragrance.

Further, since the cap 8 of the storage container 2 is used as the volatilizer holder 10, the material of the volatilizer holder can be omitted accordingly, the material cost can be reduced, and the aromatic container is inexpensive. Can be provided.

[0025]
