BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a volatile medicine container according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, this container has a volatilizing member housing 1, a volatile medicine housing 3, an adjusting member 4, and a suction member 5.

A vaporizing member 10 is accommodated in the vaporizing member accommodating section 1, and a vaporizing window 11 is formed in a constituent wall thereof. An adjusting member 4 to be described later is provided to adjust the degree of opening and closing of the volatile window 11 of the volatile member housing portion 1. In addition, the volatile drug storage unit 3 can communicate with the volatile member storage unit 1 and stores the volatile drug. The suction member 5 is for supplying a volatile chemical to the volatile member 10.

The volatilizing member 10 is for volatilizing the volatile chemicals, is formed into a sliced cylindrical shape using a nonwoven fabric, and is mounted on a cylindrical rotation center 19 described later. Further, the suction member 5 is provided to allow the volatile medicine in the volatile medicine container 3 to reach the volatile member 10, and is formed in a rod-like shape of paper and is formed in the opening 30 of the volatile medicine storage section 3. It is fixed. The suction member 5 can also be formed of a pulp, a synthetic resin porous body, a fiber bundle, or the like.

The volatile member accommodating section 1 is constituted as follows by an upper member 12 and a lower member 13 made of synthetic resin.

The upper member 12 has a cylindrical thin lid shape, and a fitting projection 14 for fitting to the lower member 13 is provided around the edge of the upper member 12. An engagement claw 16 for engaging with the adjusting member 4 is formed at a predetermined position of the edge portion so as to protrude.

The lower member 13 is formed in a bowl shape so as to be rotatable with the upper member 12. This lower member 1
A plurality of slit-shaped volatilization windows 11 are formed in the volatilization member accommodating portion constituting wall 17 extending downward, and a fitting groove 18 for fitting with the fitting protrusion 14 of the upper member 12 is provided on the edge. ing. The disposition position of the volatilization window 11 may be set on at least one of the lower surface configuration wall and the side surface configuration wall of the vaporization member accommodating portion configuration wall 17. When formed in this manner, the volatilization window 11 is directed downward, so that it is generally easy to control the amount of the volatile chemical having a higher specific gravity than air from the volatilization window 11.

At the bottom of the bowl-shaped lower member 13, a cylindrical rotation center 19 is formed. The rotation center 19 is for smoothly rotating the adjustment member 4 described later. Further, a plurality of grooves 20 are formed in the longitudinal direction on the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical rotation center 19 in order to fit the fixing member 7 without shifting in the rotation direction.

The adjusting member 4 is formed in a bowl shape without a bottom so as to conform to the shape of the inner peripheral wall 21 of the lower member 13, and is mounted on the inner peripheral wall 21 of the lower member 13. The portion corresponding to the bottom of the dropout is arranged along the cylindrical rotation center 19 of the lower member 13. By forming an engagement groove 40 with the engagement claw 16 of the upper member 12 at the edge of the adjustment member 4, the adjustment member 4 can follow the rotation operation of the upper member 12. Further, an insertion window 41 is formed at a position corresponding to the volatilization window 11 to adjust the opening / closing degree of the volatilization window 11 of the lower member 13. That is, the insertion window 41 is formed in a slit shape at the same angular position as the volatilization window 11 of the lower member 13. Therefore, the opening / closing degree of the volatilization window 11 can be widely adjusted from the maximum volatilization possible state where the volatilization window 11 and the insertion window 41 are completely combined to the closed state where the volatilization window 11 is completely shifted.

The container includes a suction member 5 and a volatile member 10.
A separating member 6 for preventing contact with the volatile agent is provided between the opening 30 of the volatile medicine container 3 and the fixing member 7 for locking the volatile member housing 1 (see FIG. 4). Volatilization member 1 after manufacture of container and before use by isolation member 6
This prevents the immersion of the volatile chemical into zero.

In this container, when the volatile chemical storage unit 3 is brought into communication with the volatile member storage unit 1 to shift the volatile chemical from the volatile member 10 to a state where it can be volatilized, the following procedure is performed. First, the fixing member 7 that is screwed into the opening 30 of the volatile medicine container 3 and that locks the volatile member housing 1 is temporarily removed. Then, after removing the separating member 6 provided in the opening 30 of the volatile medicine container 3, the fixing member 7 is reattached to the volatile medicine container 3.
And screw them together. Then, the fixing member 7 descends by one step toward the suction member 5 by the length of the fixing member holding leg 60 of the separating member 6, and the suction member 5 and the volatile member 10 come into contact with each other (see FIG. 3). . Thus, the volatile chemical can be supplied to the volatile component 10 via the suction member 5, and the volatile component 1
At 0, the volatile drug is in a state where it can be volatilized.

The volatile medicine container according to this embodiment has the above-described configuration. Even if the container is exposed to direct sunlight, the position of the volatile window 11 is not changed. Since it is set on the volatile member accommodating portion constituting wall 17 facing downward, sunlight hardly hits the volatile member 10 accommodated in the volatile member accommodating portion 1 directly. Therefore, even if the sunlight directly hits the volatile medicine container, the volatile medicine hardly volatilizes. Further, by rotating the upper member 12, the adjusting member 4 is rotated.
Can be rotated, so that the operation projection 45 (see FIG. 5) of the adjustment member 4 does not appear on the outside, which is very simple and has a good appearance.

The adjusting member 4 of the volatile medicine container of this embodiment is mounted on and attached to the inner peripheral wall 21 of the lower member 13, and the lower member is operated by the weight of the adjusting member 4 itself. In addition to the good adhesion to the lower member 13, the lower member 13 is merely placed on the inner peripheral wall 21, so that the resistance when turning the upper member 12 is small and the operation feeling is light. It is something.

Further, the temperature inside the vehicle can be extremely high when the vehicle is parked during the day, but the volatile medicine container of this embodiment is not used and the regulating member 4 controls the volatile window 1.
Since 1 can be kept in a sealed state, it is possible to prevent useless volatilization of the volatile chemical.

[0027]

The present invention has the above-described configuration and has the following effects. According to the invention,
So hard hit is directly sunlight to volatilization member accommodated in the volatilization member accommodating portion, if sunlight provide excessive volatilization hardly occurs volatile medicine receiving container is also volatile agents under circumstances such as strikes directly I can do it. In addition, the present invention
According to the adjustment member by rotation operation of the upper member
It is possible to and which can be rotated, it is possible to provide a good volatile medicine receiving container looking very simple operating projection of the adjusting member does not appear to the outside.
