  However, in Patent Document 1, since the user must attach the material containing the fragrance to the container before use, the user may be bothered. In addition, when a material containing a fragrance is attached to a container using a seal or the like, it is necessary for the user to remove the material by removing the seal after eating to clean the container. There is also the problem of forcing.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems associated with the above-described conventional technology, and an object thereof is to provide a scented container in which a user does not need to attach or detach a material containing a fragrance.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a resin container having a bottom portion, a trunk portion, and a mouth portion. The trunk is hollow and is disposed on the periphery of the bottom. The mouth portion is disposed along the open end of the trunk portion. Perfume is contained in the bottom part, the trunk part, and the whole or mouth part.

  According to this invention, since the fragrance | flavor is contained in the bottom part of the resin container, the trunk | drum, and the whole mouth part, or a mouth part, it is not necessary for a user to attach or detach the material containing a fragrance | flavor to a container. In addition, people who need to restrict carbohydrate intake such as diabetics and those who are on a diet drink water using the resin container of the present invention while refraining from taking carbohydrates. You can get comparable satisfaction when you drink sweet juice.

  The resin container according to the present invention is a scented container that allows the user to feel the scent while eating and drinking by releasing the fragrance contained in the resin container itself when the user eats and drinks.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same members. In addition, the dimensional ratios in the drawings are exaggerated for convenience of explanation, and may be different from the actual ratios.

(One embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a resin cup according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the resin cup shown in FIG. 1 cut along the line AA. Moreover, FIG. 3 is the figure which looked at the resin cups shown in FIG. 1 from the B direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a resin cup (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “cup”) 100 according to the present embodiment is a beverage cup having a bottom 110, a body 120, and a mouth 130.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bottom portion 110 has a disk shape, for example. In the present embodiment, the diameter d1 of the bottom 110 can be set to about 55 mm, for example.

  The body portion 120 is hollow, and has a cylindrical shape or a conical shape in which the inner diameter d2 at one end is smaller than the inner diameter d3 at the other end. The body portion 120 is disposed on the periphery of the bottom portion 110 so that the one end is in contact with the periphery of the bottom portion 110. The trunk portion 120 is a portion that is gripped when the user lifts or carries the cup 100. Note that the body portion 120 may further be provided with a handle (handle).

  In the present embodiment, for example, the inner diameter d2 of the one end can be set to about 50 mm, and the inner diameter d3 of the other end can be set to about 85 mm. Moreover, it is preferable that the thickness of the trunk | drum 120 is set to about 1-3 mm, for example, can be set to 2.5 mm.

  The mouth part 130 is annularly arranged along the other end (open end) of the body part 120. The mouth part 130 is a part where the lips come into contact when the user drinks a drink.

  The inner diameter of the mouth part 130 may be the same size as the inner diameter d3 of the open end of the body part 120. In the present embodiment, the thickness t of the mouth portion 130 is preferably set to about 5 to 8 mm, and can be set to 7.5 mm, for example. Therefore, when the thickness t of the mouth portion 130 is 7.5 mm, the outer shape of the mouth portion 130 is about 100 mm.

  Thus, the cup 100 is made of a resin having the bottom portion 110, the hollow body portion 120 disposed on the periphery of the bottom portion 110, and the mouth portion 130 disposed along the open end of the body portion 120. It is a cup. The height of the cup 100 is, for example, about 115 mm.

  The bottom part 110, the body part 120, and the mouth part 130 can be integrally formed using a known molding technique such as injection molding, blow molding, or pressure molding.

  In this embodiment, in order to use the cup 100 as a scented container, the cup 100 is formed by injection molding using a polypropylene kneaded with a solvent containing a fragrance. A schematic flow for manufacturing the cup 100 is, for example, as follows.

  First, in the step of blending the raw materials, a fragrance dissolved in a solvent and a coloring material are blended with polypropylene as a resin. As a main component of the solvent, for example, triacetin (glycerin fatty acid ester) can be used.

  Subsequently, in the step of mixing the raw materials, the raw materials are uniformly mixed using a dedicated mixer. Thereby, the solvent containing a fragrance | flavor is kneaded in polypropylene.

  Then, in the step of carrying out injection molding, the mixed raw materials are set in an injection molding machine, melted at a high temperature, then placed in a low temperature mold and solidified to form a cup shape.

  Through such a process, a resin cup 100 containing a fragrance is formed in the entire cup.

  On the other hand, you may form the cup 100 so that a fragrance | flavor may be included in a part of cup, without including a fragrance | flavor in the whole cup. For example, the bottom portion 110 and the body portion 120 may be formed using polypropylene as a material, and the mouth portion 130 may be formed using a polypropylene kneaded with a solvent containing a fragrance. In this case, a fragrance | flavor is included only in the formed opening part 130. FIG.

  In addition, the material which forms the bottom part 110, the trunk | drum 120, and the opening part 130 is not limited to a polypropylene, You may use resin, such as a polystyrene, ABS, nylon 66, a silicone resin.

  Moreover, volatilization of the fragrance | flavor component of a fragrance | flavor may be improved by making the surface of the cup 100 porous and enlarging the substantial surface area of the cup 100.

  Among the “designated additives” designated by the country, the fragrance is determined to fall under the category of 18 species designated by a collective name such as “esters” (so-called “18 fragrance list”), or “natural fragrance” Can be selected.

  More specifically, ethyl maltol, maltol, methyl cinnamate, benzyl alcohol, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3 (2H) -furanone (furaneol), benzaldehyde, trans-2-hexen-1-ol , Β-damascone, ethyl acetoacetate, hexyl acetate, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl hexanoate (Aka ethyl caproate), methyl dihydrojasmonate, methyl benzoate, γ-decalactone, 2-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol may be used.

  In particular, a fragrance containing a scent of food, in particular a sweet scent component, can be used. For example, flavors such as “strawberry flavor”, “apple flavor”, “orange flavor”, “cora flavor”, and “chocolate flavor” can be suitably used.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the fragrance | flavor is contained in the bottom part 110 of the cup 100, the trunk | drum 120, and the whole mouth part 130 or the mouth part 130, the olfactory field of the brain of the person who drank normal water is a cup. The scent emitted from 100 is sensed. Therefore, when the scent emitted from the cup 100 is a sweet scent, even if the drink in the cup 100 is ordinary water, the person who drinks the water of the cup 100 is as if it has drunk sweet juice. An illusion.

  In the above-described example, the case where the cup 100 is formed using a polypropylene kneaded with a solvent containing a fragrance as a material has been described. However, oil may be used instead of the solvent. That is, the cup 100 can also be formed using a polypropylene kneaded with oil containing a fragrance.

  Further, a solvent containing a fragrance may be soaked into the entire bottom portion 110, the trunk portion 120, and the mouth portion 130 or the mouth portion 130 that are molded. In this case, the bottom portion 110, the trunk portion 120, and the mouth portion 130 of the cup 100 or the mouth portion 130 is impregnated with the solvent containing the fragrance, so that the fragrance component of the fragrance is released from the cup 100.

  The cup 100 of the present embodiment described above has the following effects.

  Since the bottom 110, the body 120, and the mouth part 130 of the cup 100 or the mouth part 130 is impregnated with the oil containing the fragrance, the user does not need to attach or detach the material containing the fragrance to the cup. In addition, people who need to restrict sugar intake such as diabetics and those who are on a diet drink water using the cup 100, so they can refrain from taking sugar and drink sweet juice. Comparable satisfaction when drinking.

(Modification)
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of the resin cup according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the resin cup 200 of this modification has a bottom part 210, a body part 220, a mouth part 230, and an external container 240.

  The body 220 has an upper part 221 and a lower part 222, and is formed so that the inner diameter of the upper part 221 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower part 222.

  The outer container 240 accommodates the lower part 222 and the bottom part 210 of the body part 220. The outer container 240 is joined to the body 220 by fitting or bonding at the joints 250A and 250B.

  In a state where the bottom part 210 and the lower part 222 are accommodated in the outer container 240, an air insulation layer is formed between the bottom part 210 and the lower part 222 and the outer container 240. Therefore, the heat insulation layer between the bottom part 210 and the lower part 222 and the outer container 240 can effectively keep the drink in the resin cup 200 warm or cold.

  The outer container 240 can be formed using a resin such as a silicone resin. As the silicone resin, a silicone resin having flexibility, durability and heat resistance, and used for tableware or cooking utensils can be used without limitation. The silicone resin may be transparent or opaque by coloring. In place of silicone resin, polystyrene, ABS, or nylon 66 may be used.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and can be variously modified within the scope of the utility model registration request.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, a cup having a circular cross section has been described. However, the shape of the cross section of the cup is not particularly limited, and may be an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the resin container is a beverage cup has been described. However, the resin container is not limited to a beverage cup, and is a pot, bowl, deep dish, or the like for containing food. Also good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the bottom portion, the body portion, and the mouth portion of the cup are integrally formed. However, after the bottom portion, the body portion, and the mouth portion of the cup are formed separately, they are coupled to each other. May be. For example, only the mouth part of the cup may be formed separately from the other bottom part and the body part, and then the mouth part may be combined with the body part.
