【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、放香器に関し、より詳しくは香料組成物の蒸発性能および使用性において改良され、かつインテリア性をも備える放香器に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、居住空間の快適化のために液体放香器が広く使用されており、このタイプの放香器としては、収容した香料組成物溶液を吸液芯を用いて吸い上げ揮散部から揮散させる吸液芯タイプと、陶器や木片の揮散部に香料組成物溶液を予め含浸あるいは滴下して発散させる含浸タイプとが一般的に知られている。
しかしながら、吸液芯タイプにあっては、香料組成物溶液の減少を目視により視認できるものの、蒸発量の調節や液漏れ防止、あるいはインテリア性などの点で必ずしも十分とは言えず、一方含浸タイプについても使用経過がわかりにくく、また含浸させる香料組成物にも限りがあるため持続的な香料の蒸発を行うことが難しいという問題がある。
また、前者の吸液芯タイプの芳香器にインテリア性を付与する試みとして、例えば実開昭６３−１５８９２３号公報や特開平５−１３２８０７号公報に、造花を組み合わせる考案や発明が開示されているが、単に造花を装てんするのみで、芳香の持続性等を含む総合的な考慮が何らなされていないのが現状である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のような放香器の現状を考慮し、本発明は香料組成物の蒸散性能や使用性に優れ、かつインテリア性をも具備した実用性の高い、吸液芯タイプの放香器を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明者らは、容器本体に収容される香料組成物を吸液芯を介して放散させるにあたり、特定の蒸発部と造花を組み合わせることにより、目的とする放香器が得られることを見いだし、本発明を完成した。
【０００６】
すなわち、請求項１の発明は、香料組成物水溶液を収容する容器本体と、該容器本体上部の開口部に保持され、前記水溶液を吸い上げる吸液芯と、該吸液芯の上部に設けられ、該吸液芯が吸い上げた前記水溶液を蒸発させる蒸発部と、この蒸発部を保持する支持体と、底面が前記蒸発部の上面全体を覆い、上方が開口した造花支持台とを設け、前記造花支持台の上方開口部の全面を覆うように造花が配置されることによって、前記蒸発部から蒸発した香料組成物が前記造花の隙間を通過して外部に放散するように構成された放香器であって、前記蒸発部はプラスチック繊維または天然繊維からなるフェルトまたはシート状で、その表面積は１０〜８０ｃｍ2であり、前記支持体には前記造花を固定する造花支持台が着脱可能に装着され、前記造花支持台の底面には複数個の孔が設けられるとともに、前記底面の表面積に対する前記孔の面積の総和の比率は０．３〜０．７であり、更に、前記造花は布またはプラスチックまたはそれらの組合わせからなり、しかもその見掛けの体積が
（１）造花部分をプラスチック製の袋に入れ、
（２）前記袋を外部より軽く押さえて内部の空気を抜きながら、造花の外周に相当する部分を袋外部よりヒートシールして袋を密封し、
（３）水のはった大きめの腰高シャーレに前記（２）で得られた造花入りの袋を沈め、その際の体積の増加分とした場合に、
２００〜１５００ｃｍ3であり、前記水溶液の１日あたりの空中への蒸発量が１〜８ｍｌであることを特徴とする放香器に関するものである。
【０００７】
本発明の放香器に用いる容器本体は、その材質や構造に特に制限はなく、例えばプラスチック、陶器、ガラスなどをあげることができるが、内部の液量を目視できる透明ないし半透明のプラスチック容器が好ましい。通常、容器の容量は５０ないし３００ｍｌ程度が実用的である。また、容器の底部は、香料組成物水溶液が残りなく吸い上げられるように、後記する吸液芯の当接部を幾分凹状に構成するのがよい。
この容器本体上部の開口部には吸液芯を保持する中栓が冠着される。中栓はプラスチック製が好ましく、また、開口部冠着位置から下方に向けて筒状に形成して吸液芯を挿入するようにすれば、吸液芯を確実に保持できるのでより好適である。
【０００８】
本発明で用いる吸液芯は、香料組成物水溶液に対して安定でかつ毛細管現象により該水溶液を吸液するものであり、具体的な材質は例えばナイロン、ポリエステルなどのプラスチック繊維、天然繊維、木材などがあげられる。このうちプラスチック繊維又は天然繊維からなるフェルト製の吸液芯が使いやすく、放香器の使用場所や使用目的に合わせ、外径３〜１０ｍｍ程度の棒状もしくは撚芯状に形成され得る。
【０００９】
また、香料組成物も特に限定されず、通常使用される天然香料、合成香料の中から種々のものを選択使用することができる。例えば、天然香料としてオレンジ油、レモン油、ライム油、ユズ油、ラベンダー油、ペパーミント油、ユーカリ油、ジャスミン油、檜油、緑茶精油などがあげられる。
一方、合成香料としては、リナロール、シトロネロール、ゲラニオール、フェニルエチルアルコール、アミルシンナミックアルデヒド、クミンアルデヒド、ベンジルアセテート、リモネン、α−ピネン、δ−ドデカラクトンなどをあげることができる。
これらの香料はそれぞれ単独で用いてもよいし、２種以上を調合した調合香料として用いてもよい。そして、これらの香料ならびに水に、アルコール、グリコールやグリコールエーテル等に代表される水溶性有機溶剤や、界面活性剤、可溶化剤、安定化剤、着色剤などを適宜配合して香料組成物水溶液を調製することができる。
【００１０】
本発明の放香器において、吸い上げた香料組成物水溶液を放散させる蒸発部が吸液芯の上部に設けられる。該蒸発部はフェルトもしくはシート状であり、またその材質は吸液芯の場合と同様、例えばナイロン、ポリエステルなどのプラスチック繊維、天然繊維または木材等である。このうちプラスチック繊維又は天然繊維からなるフェルトもしくはシート状のものが好ましく、その厚さが２〜１５ｍｍ、表面積が１０〜８０ｃｍ2の略円形に成形されることが好ましい。この蒸発部を吸液芯の頂面に当接するように設置すれば、吸い上げられた水溶液は吸液芯から蒸発部に移行し、そこから徐々に空中に放散する。なお、蒸発部の表面積が１０ｃｍ2未満であると蒸発量が低くなる傾向があるし、一方８０ｃｍ2を超えると蒸発量が多すぎ、持続性に問題を生じる場合がある。
【００１１】
蒸発部を保持する支持体が設けられ、該支持体に前記造花を固定する支持台を着脱可能に装着することが好ましい。
該支持台として、例えば底面に複数個の孔が設けられた、厚さ１〜３ｍｍの程度プラスチック板が使用される。この場合、前記底面の表面積に対する前記孔の面積の総和の比率（以下、孔比率とも記載する）を０．３〜０．７に設定することにより、香料の蒸発量の調節を図ることもできる。また上記支持体を容器本体上部の外周で嵌合固定するようにすれば、蒸発部と吸液芯を容易に当接させることができ便利である。
【００１２】
本発明は、底面が上記蒸発部の上面全体を覆い、上方が開口した造花支持台を設け、前記造花支持台の上方開口部の全面を覆うように造花を配置し、この造花は、布、プラスチックまたはそれらの組合わせからなり、見掛けの体積が２００〜１５００ｃｍ3であることを特徴とし、これによりインテリア性を付与し、かつ香料の蒸発量の調節を可能にする。該造花における花の種類や色合いは任意に選択される。なお、上記見掛けの体積は容器本体の容量や蒸発部の大きさ等を考慮して適宜選択され得るが、好ましくは２５０〜１０００ｃｍ3、特に好ましくは３００〜５００ｃｍ3である。
【００１３】
ここで、本発明における造花の見掛けの体積は以下の測定方法に従って得られる値を意味する。
（1） まず、造花部分をプラスチック製の袋に入れる。
（2） 上記袋を外部より軽く押さえて内部の空気を抜きながら、造花の外周に相当する部分を袋外部よりヒートシールして袋を密封する。
（3） 次に、水のはった大きめの腰高シャーレに上記（2）で得られた造花入りの袋を沈め、その際の体積の増加分を「造花の見掛けの体積」とする。
【００１４】
例えば、表面積が１０〜８０ｃｍ2である、プラスチック繊維または天然繊維からなるフェルトまたはシート状の蒸発部、孔比率が０．３〜０．７の支持台及び上記特定の見かけの体積を有する造花を組合せることにより、香料組成物水溶液の１日あたりの空中への蒸発量を１〜８ｍｌとすることができ、これにより、通常の容量を有する容器本体を用いた場合の放香持続時間を１〜２カ月とすることが容易にできる。
【００１５】
また、本発明において、インテリア性のさらなる向上と容器本体の保護の観点から、容器本体は包装体、例えば籠、鉢またはラッピング用品等と組み合わせてもよい。例えば、籐、竹、プラスチック等からなる籠、陶器や土器または金属等からなる鉢に容器本体を収納してもよいし、紙、不織布、織布等のラッピング用品で容器本体を包んでもよい。上記包装体である籠、鉢またはラッピング用品の大きさや形状は何ら限定されず、例えば香料組成物溶液の減少を目視できるような窓を設けてもよく、ラッピング用品で包んだ容器本体を籠または鉢等にさらに収納してもよい。
【００１６】
こうして得られた本発明の放香器は、香料組成物の蒸散性能および使用性に優れ、しかも高いインテリア性を備えたものであり、長期間、例えば１〜２カ月にわたり、芳香感だけでなく、花の鑑賞という美観を提供することができる。
【００２０】
請求項２の発明は、請求項１の放香器において、蒸発部を保持する支持体が、容器本体上部の外周に設けられた係止部によって嵌合固定されているものである。
【００２１】
請求項３の発明は、請求項１または２の放香器において、容器本体を包装体に収容したものである。
【００２２】
請求項４の発明は、請求項３に記載の包装体として、籠、鉢またはラッピング用品を用いたものである。
【００２３】
こうして得られた本発明の放香器は、香料組成物の蒸発性能や使用性に優れ、しかも高いインテリア性を備えたものであり、長期間、好ましくは１ケ月ないし２ケ月間にわたり、芳香感だけでなく花の観賞も楽しめるものである。
【００２４】

次に、具体的実施例ならびに試験例に基づいて、本発明の放香器を更に詳細に説明する。
【００２５】
実施例１
図１は本発明の放香器の一例を示す。
緑茶精油１ｇ、ノニオン系界面活性剤０．５ｇと水１１８．５ｇからなる香料組成物水溶液１２０ｇを透明ポリエステル容器本体１に充填した。容器本体１の上部開口部２に、外径７ｍｍの棒状フェルトからなる吸液芯３を挿通した中栓４を冠着させた。しかる後、厚さ５ｍｍ、直径４．２ｃｍの円板状のフェルト蒸発部５を収容した支持体６を開口部２の外周で嵌合固定し、吸液芯３の頂面に蒸発部５を当接させた。
蒸発部５の支持体6の上に、更に見掛けの体積が４００ｃｍ3のアジサイを模したプラスチック製の造花８を固定する造花支持台７を着脱可能に装着し、さらに籐で編んだ花籠９に容器本体１をセットして、本発明の放香器とした。
この放香器をリビングルームのサイドボード上に置いて使用したところ、約２ケ月間にわたり芳香の蒸散が持続しアジサイを模した造花もインテリアとして好適なものであった。
【００２６】

【００２８】
試験例
実施例に準じて、表１に示す各種放香器を作製し、２０〜２５℃の６畳の部屋に設置して性能試験を行った。香料組成物水溶液は、実施例で用いた緑茶精油を適宜他の香料に置き換え、また吸液芯は外径７ｍｍで棒状のものを用いて調製し、蒸発部や造花などの仕様は表１のとおりとした。
性能試験項目は、（1）芳香感の持続性および（2）インテリア性であり、その結果を基に総合評価を行った。
なお、芳香感の持続性は下記の方法に従って評価した：試験開始後１週間ごとに供試放香器を１．８ｍ3のボックス内に入れ、１０分後のボックス内の香気を官能により評価した。開封直後の香気を５点（標準品）として、下記基準に基づき香気が相対的に３点となるまでの日数を調べた。
５点；標準品と同等。
４点；標準品と比較して僅かに芳香感が劣る。
３点；標準品と比較して比較的芳香感が劣る。
２点；標準品と比較してかなり芳香感が劣る。

【００２９】
【表１】
試験の結果、本発明の放香器は、（１）芳香感の持続性、（２）インテリア性のいずれも優れ、実用性の高いことが確認された。また、蒸発部の表面積は、１０〜８０ｃｍ2の範囲で、造花の見掛けの体積は２００〜１５００ｃｍ3の範囲が適当であった。
さらに、この蒸発部の支持体の上に孔比率が０ ．３〜０ ．７の底面を有する造花支持台を装着することは、蒸発量の調節を容易とし、好ましい手段であることが確認された。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a fragrance, and more particularly to a fragrance that is improved in the evaporation performance and usability of a fragrance composition and also has interior properties.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, liquid aromatizers have been widely used for comfort in living spaces, and as this type of aromatizer, an absorptive solution in which a contained fragrance composition solution is volatilized from a wicking volatilization unit using a liquid absorbent wick. A liquid core type and an impregnation type in which a fragrance composition solution is impregnated or dripped in advance on a volatilization part of earthenware or a piece of wood are generally known.
However, in the liquid absorption core type, although the decrease in the fragrance composition solution can be visually confirmed, it is not always sufficient in terms of adjustment of the evaporation amount, prevention of liquid leakage, or interior properties. In addition, there is a problem that the process of use is difficult to understand, and since there is a limit to the perfume composition to be impregnated, it is difficult to continuously evaporate the perfume.
In addition, as an attempt to impart interior properties to the former liquid-absorbing core type aroma, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-158923 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-132807 disclose devices and inventions for combining artificial flowers. However, the present situation is that the artificial flowers are simply dressed and no comprehensive consideration including the persistence of the fragrance is made.
[0003]

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-158923 [Patent Document 2]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-132807
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the current state of the aromatizer as described above, the present invention provides a liquid absorption core type aromatizer that is excellent in transpiration performance and usability of a fragrance composition and has high interior performance. The purpose is to do.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors combine a specific evaporating part and artificial flowers to disperse the fragrance composition accommodated in the container body through the liquid absorption core, thereby achieving the intended aroma release device. And the present invention has been completed.
[0006]
That is, the invention of
(2) While holding the bag lightly from the outside and venting the air inside, heat seal the portion corresponding to the outer periphery of the artificial flower from the outside of the bag to seal the bag,
(3) When the artificial flower bag obtained in (2) above is submerged in a large waist-high petri dish with water,
It is 200-1500cm < 3 >, It is related with the aroma generator characterized by the amount of evaporation of the said aqueous solution to the air per day being 1-8 ml.
[0007]
The container body used in the aromatizer of the present invention is not particularly limited in its material and structure, and examples thereof include plastic, ceramics, and glass, but a transparent or translucent plastic container in which the amount of liquid inside can be visually observed. Is preferred. Usually, the capacity of the container is practically about 50 to 300 ml. Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom part of the container has a concave part in the contact part of the liquid absorbent core described later so that the fragrance composition aqueous solution can be sucked up without remaining.
An inner plug for holding the liquid absorbent core is attached to the opening at the top of the container body. The inner plug is preferably made of plastic, and it is more preferable that the liquid absorbing wick can be securely held if it is formed in a cylindrical shape downward from the position where the opening is attached and the liquid absorbing wick is inserted. .
[0008]
The liquid absorbent core used in the present invention is stable with respect to the fragrance composition aqueous solution and absorbs the aqueous solution by capillary action. Specific materials include plastic fibers such as nylon and polyester, natural fibers, and wood. Etc. Of these, a felt absorbent core made of plastic fiber or natural fiber is easy to use, and can be formed into a rod or twisted core having an outer diameter of about 3 to 10 mm in accordance with the place and purpose of use of the aroma release device.
[0009]
Further, the fragrance composition is not particularly limited, and various fragrance compositions can be selected and used from commonly used natural and synthetic fragrances. Examples of natural flavors include orange oil, lemon oil, lime oil, yuzu oil, lavender oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, jasmine oil, camellia oil, and green tea essential oil.
On the other hand, examples of the synthetic flavor include linalool, citronellol, geraniol, phenylethyl alcohol, amylcinnamic aldehyde, cuminaldehyde, benzyl acetate, limonene, α-pinene, and δ-dodecalactone.
Each of these fragrances may be used alone or as a blended fragrance prepared by mixing two or more kinds. An aqueous fragrance composition is prepared by appropriately blending these fragrance and water with a water-soluble organic solvent typified by alcohol, glycol, glycol ether or the like, a surfactant, a solubilizer, a stabilizer, a colorant and the like. Can be prepared.
[0010]
In the aroma release device of the present invention, an evaporating section for dissipating the sucked up fragrance composition aqueous solution is provided on the upper portion of the absorption core. The evaporating portion is in the form of a felt or a sheet, and the material thereof is, for example, plastic fibers such as nylon and polyester, natural fibers, or wood as in the case of the liquid absorbent core. Of these, felt or sheet-like material made of plastic fiber or natural fiber is preferable, and it is preferably formed into a substantially circular shape having a thickness of 2 to 15 mm and a surface area of 10 to 80 cm 2 . If this evaporating part is installed so as to contact the top surface of the liquid absorption wick, the sucked aqueous solution moves from the liquid absorption wick to the evaporation part and gradually diffuses into the air from there. In addition, when the surface area of the evaporation part is less than 10 cm 2 , the evaporation amount tends to be low. On the other hand, when it exceeds 80 cm 2 , the evaporation amount is too large, which may cause a problem in sustainability.
[0011]
It is preferable that a support for holding the evaporation unit is provided, and a support for fixing the artificial flower is detachably mounted on the support.
As the support base, for example, a plastic plate having a thickness of 1 to 3 mm having a plurality of holes on the bottom surface is used. In this case, by adjusting the ratio of the total area of the holes to the surface area of the bottom surface (hereinafter also referred to as the hole ratio) to 0.3 to 0.7, the evaporation amount of the fragrance can be adjusted. . Further, if the support is fitted and fixed on the outer periphery of the upper part of the container body, the evaporation part and the liquid absorption core can be easily brought into contact with each other, which is convenient.
[0012]
The present invention provides an artificial flower support base whose bottom surface covers the entire top surface of the evaporation part and whose upper part is open, and artificial flowers are arranged so as to cover the entire upper opening part of the artificial flower support base . It is made of plastic or a combination thereof and is characterized by an apparent volume of 200-1500 cm 3 , thereby imparting interior properties and enabling adjustment of the evaporation amount of the fragrance. The kind and color of the flower in the artificial flower are arbitrarily selected. The apparent volume can be appropriately selected in consideration of the capacity of the container main body, the size of the evaporation portion, etc., but is preferably 250 to 1000 cm 3 , particularly preferably 300 to 500 cm 3 .
[0013]
Here, the apparent volume of the artificial flower in the present invention means a value obtained according to the following measurement method.
(1) First, place the artificial flower in a plastic bag.
(2) While holding the bag lightly from the outside and venting the air inside, heat seal the part corresponding to the outer periphery of the artificial flower from the outside of the bag to seal the bag.
(3) Next, submerge the artificial flower bag obtained in (2) above in a large, high-waist petri dish with water, and let the increase in volume at that time be the “apparent volume of artificial flower”.
[0014]
For example, a felt or sheet-shaped evaporation part made of plastic fiber or natural fiber having a surface area of 10 to 80 cm 2 , a support base having a pore ratio of 0.3 to 0.7, and an artificial flower having the above specific apparent volume By combining, the evaporation amount of the fragrance composition aqueous solution into the air per day can be set to 1 to 8 ml. Thus, the fragrance duration when using a container body having a normal capacity is 1 Can be easily set to ~ 2 months.
[0015]
In the present invention, from the viewpoint of further improving interior properties and protecting the container body, the container body may be combined with a package, such as a basket, a bowl, or a wrapping article. For example, the container body may be housed in a basket made of rattan, bamboo, plastic, etc., pots made of earthenware, earthenware, metal, or the like, or the container body may be wrapped with a wrapping product such as paper, nonwoven fabric, or woven fabric. There is no limitation on the size or shape of the packaging, bowl, or wrapping article, and for example, a window may be provided so that the decrease in the fragrance composition solution can be observed. You may store in a bowl etc. further.
[0016]
The aromatizer of the present invention thus obtained is excellent in the transpiration performance and usability of the fragrance composition and has a high interior property, not only for a long period of time, for example 1-2 months, It can provide the beauty of flower appreciation.
[0020]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the aerator according to the first aspect, the support body that holds the evaporation portion is fitted and fixed by a locking portion provided on the outer periphery of the upper portion of the container body.
[0021]
A third aspect of the present invention is the odor release device according to the first or second aspect, wherein the container body is accommodated in a package.
[0022]
The invention of claim 4 uses a bag, bowl or wrapping article as the package of
[0023]
