Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a volatilizer that volatilizes chemicals such as fragrances and deodorants in the surrounding space.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a volatilizer for volatilizing chemicals such as fragrances and deodorants generally consists of a container having an opening at the top and a cap mounted on the top of the container and provided with a plurality of volatilization ports. The chemical that volatilizes is contained inside the container. When the volatilizer containing the drug is placed in an appropriate space such as a room, the drug is volatilized into the air flowing into the container from the volatilization port, and then flows out of the container, and the fragrance due to the medicinal effect of the drug is surrounded. A space or the like is formed.
[0003]
Therefore, it is possible to obtain the effect of volatilization of the medicine without a cap, but it can prevent the fallen object from entering the container in the arrangement state, or the volatilizer can be used during transportation or display. Caps are provided to allow stacking. Moreover, even if a cap is provided, a volatilization port is formed in the cap so as to enable volatilization.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this way, the cap is indispensable considering that the volatilizer is appropriately placed and that stacking is required at the time of transportation and display. Inflow and outflow are hindered, and the volatilization efficiency of the medicine is lowered. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the opening area of the volatilization port formed in the cap as much as possible so that the inflow and outflow of air into the container can be performed more efficiently while the cap is provided.
[0005]
However, when the opening area of each volatilization port is increased, an object enters the container from the volatilization port, and the effect of preventing the object from falling into the container by the cap is impaired. Therefore, it is conceivable to increase the volatilization efficiency while ensuring the effect of preventing the cap from falling into the container by increasing the number of volatilization ports without increasing the opening area of each volatilization port. However, if the number of volatilization ports is increased, the remaining portion other than the volatilization ports will be relatively reduced, and as a result, the strength of the cap is lowered and stacking becomes impossible.
[0006]
This invention is made | formed in view of such a conventional subject, and aims at providing the volatilizer which can ensure stackability (stackability), aiming at the improvement of volatilization efficiency. is there.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, the volatilizer according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a container capable of containing a chemical volatilized therein and having an opening in the upper part, and is mounted on the upper part of the container. In a volatilizer comprising a cap provided with a plurality of volatilization ports, a plurality of ribs are formed on the cap, the volatilization ports are formed between adjacent ribs , and the ribs are curved in the lateral direction. The one end is coupled to the peripheral edge of the cap and the other end is coupled radially to the center of the cap, and the one end is bifurcated. And a flange protruding upward and obliquely outward is formed .
That is, the rib is curved in the lateral direction. Therefore, since the side surface of the rib is also curved, when the air flowing on the cap is guided by the side surface of the rib and flows into the container, the air flows into the container while being diffused by the curved side surface. The volatilization efficiency is increased by contacting over a wide area.
In addition, since the rib is coupled to the peripheral edge of the cap at one end of the bifurcated shape, the coupling strength with the peripheral edge of the cap is increased even if the lateral width of the rib is reduced to increase the opening area. It is sufficiently obtained and the strength against the load from above is increased.
Further, a flange protruding upward is formed on the peripheral edge of the cap. If the rib is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward, it will be easier to slip when another volatilizer is stacked on it, but the upper volatilizer will be prevented from slipping by forming a flange on the periphery. The Therefore, the stacking property can be ensured while increasing the volatilization efficiency and the strength against the load from above.
In addition, the flange protrudes obliquely outward. Therefore, the air flowing on the cap flows along the surface of the flange and is guided to the ribs, so that the volatilization efficiency is improved while ensuring stackability.
[0008]
In the volatilizer according to the second aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal width of the rib is made larger than the lateral width.
When the lateral width of the rib is reduced, the opening area of the volatilization opening between adjacent ribs is increased accordingly, and the volatilization efficiency is improved. However, since the longitudinal width, ie, the thickness of the rib is larger than the lateral width, the strength against the load applied from above is ensured even if the lateral width of the rib is reduced. Also, the flow of air flowing on the cap is guided by the side surface of the rib having a large vertical width, so that the air efficiently flows into the container, and the drug contained in the container is also thereby Volatilization efficiency is increased.
[0012]
Moreover, in the volatilizer concerning invention of Claim 3, it forms in the curved shape which bulges the said rib upwards. Therefore, the air flowing on the cap easily hits the side surface of the rib, and the air is efficiently introduced into the container to increase the volatilization efficiency, and the strength against the load from above is also increased.
[0013]
Moreover, in the volatilizer concerning invention of Claim 4 , the said container is the spherical shape which the middle part of the up-down direction of the surrounding wall swelled to the external direction. Therefore, after the air that has flowed into the container flows down along the peripheral wall, an air flow path that flows out of the container after flowing in the center direction of the container along the surface of the medicine is formed, thereby making the configuration efficient. Volatilization is done.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the volatilizer 1 according to the present embodiment includes a container 2 and a cap 3 screwed onto the upper part of the container 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the container 2 is made of transparent plastic, and has a bottom surface portion 21, a peripheral wall 22 having a lower end portion continuous with the bottom surface portion 21, and a cylindrical shape standing up with an upper end portion of the peripheral wall 22. The neck portion 23 is integrally provided.
[0015]
The bottom surface portion 21 bulges in the inner direction of the container 2, and the peripheral wall 22 is formed in a spherical shape in which a middle portion in the vertical direction bulges outward. A male screw portion 24 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the neck portion 23, and an opening 25 is provided on the inner side thereof.
[0016]
On the other hand, the cap 3 is made of a translucent plastic and has a cylindrical skirt portion 31 as shown in FIG. 3, and an internal thread portion 32 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt portion 31. Yes. At the upper end of the skirt portion 31, a flange 33 is formed over the entire circumference, and this flange 33 protrudes obliquely outward from the upper part of the cap 3.
[0017]
A plurality of ribs 34 are formed at the lower end of the flange 33 over the entire inner surface, and a volatilization port 35 is formed between the adjacent ribs 34. As shown in FIG. 4, each rib 34 has a vertical width a larger than a horizontal width b, and the relationship between the vertical width a and the horizontal width b is, for example, a = 1.5b. Is set to That is, the width of the side surface 34b of the rib 34 is set wider than the width of the upper surface 34c.
[0018]
In addition, the rib 34 is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward U (see FIG. 4) and is curved in the lateral direction S (see FIG. 3A). Further, the rib 34 is radially arranged with one end coupled to the lower end of the flange 33 and the other end coupled to a circular boss 36 positioned at the center of the cap 3. A pair of bifurcated portions 34 a are provided on the one end portion side, and the end portions of the bifurcated portions 34 a are coupled to the lower end portion of the flange 33. The cap 3 is attached to the neck portion 23 of the container 2 by screwing the female screw portion 32 into the male screw portion 24 of the container 2.
[0019]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, a gel-like medicine 4 that generates a medicinal effect by volatilization of a fragrance, a deodorant, or the like is accommodated inside the container 2, and aluminum is placed in the opening 25 of the container 2. An airtight sheet (not shown) such as a foil is attached and shipped.
[0020]
In the present embodiment according to the above configuration, the volatilizer 1 is stacked at the time of transport accompanying shipment or display at a store, and the load of the volatilizer 1 located on the rib 34 is applied to the rib 34. . However, since the longitudinal width “a” of the rib 34 is larger than the lateral width “b”, the strength against the load applied from above can be secured, and the rib 34 is damaged and the merchantability is impaired. There is no.
[0021]
Moreover, since the rib 34 has a curved shape that bulges upward U, the strength against the load from above is also increased, and the breakage is reliably prevented. On the other hand, when the rib 34 is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward U in this way, the upper volatilizer 1 is easily slid down when the volatilizer 1 is stacked thereon. However, since the flange 3 is formed on the cap 3, the upper volatilizer 1 is prevented from slipping off by the flange 33, so that the stacking property is secured while increasing the strength against the load from above. Can do.
[0022]
In addition, since the end portion of the rib 34 is coupled to the lower end portion of the flange 33 at the bifurcated portion 34a, stress concentration is avoided by dispersing the load applied to the rib 34 at the bifurcated portion 34a. The damage of the rib 34 at the time of stacking the volatilizer 1 is reliably prevented.
[0023]
The volatilizer 1 conveyed or displayed in this manner is purchased after the cap 3 is unscrewed from the container 2, the airtight sheet is removed, and the cap 3 is screwed to the container 2 again. It will be placed on and will be used. Then, the component of the chemical | medical agent 4 volatilizes to the exterior of the volatilizer 1 through the volatilization opening | mouth 35, and, thereby, the medicinal effect by a volatile component arises in surrounding space.
[0024]
At this time, since each rib 34 forming the volatilization port 35 has a vertical width a larger than a horizontal width b, each volatilization port 35 between adjacent ribs 34 has a sufficient opening area. It is ensured and excellent volatilization efficiency can be obtained. Further, the flow of air flowing on the cap 3 is guided by the side surface 34b of the rib 34 having a large vertical width, so that the air efficiently flows into the container 2, and this also causes the air to flow into the container 2. The volatilization efficiency of the stored medicine 4 is increased.
[0025]
Moreover, since the rib 34 is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward U, the air flowing on the cap easily hits the side surface 34b of the rib 34, and the air is efficiently introduced into the container 2. Volatilization efficiency is increased. Further, since the flange 33 protrudes obliquely outward from the top of the cap 3, the air flowing on the cap flows along the surface of the flange 33 and reaches the rib 34 as shown in FIG. 1. It is guided and flows into the inside of the container 2 from the volatilization port 35.
[0026]
At this time, the rib 34 is curved in the lateral direction S, and the side surface 34b of the rib 34 is also curved in the same direction, so when air is guided by the side surface 34b of the rib 34 and flows into the container, It flows into the container 2 while being diffused by the curved side surface 34b. For this reason, air contacts the internal medicine over a wide range, and this also enhances the volatilization efficiency.
[0027]
Further, since the container 2 has a spherical shape in which the middle part in the vertical direction of the peripheral wall 22 bulges outward, the air a flowing into the container 2 flows along the peripheral wall 22 as shown in FIG. After flowing down, an air flow path that flows in the center direction of the container 2 along the surface of the drug 4 and flows out of the container 2 is formed, whereby the drug 4 can be efficiently vaporized.
[0028]
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the ribs 34 are straight and are formed radially from the center of the cap 3, and thus are formed between adjacent ribs 34. The volatilization port 35 is inevitably narrow at the center side and wide at the peripheral side. Therefore, the volatilization port 35 has a relationship that the opening area on the center side is small and the opening area on the peripheral side is large. However, the rib 34 has a longitudinal width that is set wider on the center side than on the peripheral side. Therefore, depending on the guide action of the rib 34, a larger amount of air is introduced on the central side than on the peripheral side. Will be.
[0029]
That is, when attention is paid to the opening area of the volatilization port 35, a larger amount of air is introduced on the peripheral side than on the central side, but on the contrary, when focusing on the rib 34, the central side is opposite to the peripheral side. A large amount of air will be introduced. Therefore, as a whole, air is uniformly introduced into the container 2 over the entire surface of the rib 34, and as a result, the components are volatilized uniformly over the entire surface of the drug 4, thereby improving the volatilization efficiency. Can be made.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention forms a plurality of ribs on the cap of the volatilizer to form a volatilization port between adjacent ribs, and the ribs are curved in the lateral direction. When the side surface is curved and the air flowing on the cap is guided by the side surface of the rib and flows into the container, the curved side surface can diffuse the air and flow into the container. Volatilization efficiency can be increased by bringing the inflowing air into contact with the internal drug over a wide range.
In addition, since the ribs are arranged radially and coupled to the peripheral edge of the cap at one end of the bifurcated shape, even if the lateral width of the rib is reduced to increase the opening area, the cap Bond strength with the peripheral portion can be sufficiently obtained, and strength against a load from above can be increased.
In addition, since a flange protruding upward is formed on the peripheral edge of the cap, it is possible to prevent slipping when stacking the volatilizer, while increasing the volatilization efficiency and strength against the load from above. , Stackability can be ensured.
And since the said flange protruded diagonally outward, the air which flows on a cap can be guided to a rib, Therefore Volatilization efficiency can be improved, ensuring stackability.
[0031]
In addition, since the vertical width of the rib is larger than the horizontal width, the volatilizers are stacked during transportation and display while increasing volatilization efficiency by increasing the opening area of the volatilization port and air guide action by the ribs. It is possible to provide a volatilizer that is not damaged by a load that occurs in the event of a failure.
In addition, since the ribs are formed in a curved shape that bulges upward, air can be efficiently introduced into the container, and the volatilization efficiency can be increased.
[0035]
In addition, since the peripheral wall of the container has a spherical shape with the middle part in the vertical direction bulging outward, the air that has flowed into the container flows down along the peripheral wall, and then the container center along the surface of the drug. An air flow path that flows in the direction and then flows out of the container is formed, whereby the volatilization efficiency can be increased.
