【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、必要とするときに匂いを放散することのできる芳香型筆記具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
ストレスの多い現代社会において、香りが癒しを促進する一つの材料として注目され、芳香を生活や仕事の場において生かすことが課題となっている。
従来芳香剤を利用する方法として、例えば香水やコロンを皮膚に付着させたり、スプレーで衣類に付着させたりしていた。
制御型芳香出力装置について、特許文献１には、所定の制御信号に基づいて、香料の放出を行う制御型芳香出力装置において、香料を格納する香料格納手段と、前記香料格納手段に格納されている香料を取り出して空気中に放出する香料放出手段と、前記所定の制御信号に基づいて、前記香料放出手段を制御して、香料の放出を行う制御手段と、を備えたことを特徴とする制御型芳香出力装置について記載されている。
しかし、この制御型芳香出力装置が筆記用具に適用できることを示唆する記載はない。
また、筆記具の使用者が芳香を必要とするときに自由に制御し得る制御機能を有する芳香型筆記具については知られていない。

【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、仕事や勉強における最も身近な道具である筆記具が、芳香を必要とするときに芳香を発する、自由に制御し得る制御機能を有する芳香型筆記具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】
本発明の第１は、筆記具における筆記部の上側に芳香発生部を設け、前記芳香発生部は、芳香放出可能とした芳香保管部、ファン、ファンに結合した駆動部、駆動部を駆動せしめる電池部、駆動部と電池部間の回路に設けられた回路開閉部およびファンの回転により発生した芳香を外部に放出する放出孔を有することを特徴とする芳香型筆記具に関する。
本発明の第２は、請求項１記載の駆動部と電池部間の回路に設けられた回路開閉部の一端が筆記具外側に存在するように設けたことを特徴とする請求項１記載の芳香型筆記具に関する。
【０００６】
本発明の筆記具としては、万年筆、ボールペン、筆ペン等がある。
【０００７】
以下、図面に基づき本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれにより何ら限定されるものではない。
図１は、本発明の制御機能を有する芳香発生部を設けた芳香型筆記具の説明図である。
図２は、本発明の制御機能を有する芳香発生部を設けた芳香型筆記具の外観図である。
【０００８】
筆記具１の筆記部２の反対側に芳香発生部３が設けてあり、この芳香発生部３は、芳香保管部４、ファン５、ファン５に結合した駆動部６、駆動部６を駆動せしめる電池部７および駆動部６と電池部７間の回路に開閉部８を設け、ファン５の回転により発生した芳香を外部に放出する放出孔９を設けてある。更に、必要により、駆動部６と開閉部８間に制御部１０を設けることもできる。
【０００９】
芳香保管部４は芳香剤とそれを収納する収納容器からなる。ここに用いる芳香剤としては、香料のみならず匂いを分解・除去する消臭剤も用いることもできる。
香料としては、例えば、バラ、菊、百合、梅等の花の香や、檜の香、杉の香、松の香、桜の香等の樹木の香等を用いることができる。１つの香料収納容器には、液状の香料化合物や揮発性溶剤に溶かした単一の香料化合物を入れることもできるが、複数の香料化合物をブレンドした香料組成物を入れることもできる。
香料収納容器に入れる香料は、液状、ペースト状、固体状、など任意であるし、香料成分を織布、不織布など繊維状物質に含浸または吸着させた形でも良い。
【００１０】
香料収納容器として固体金属からなる容器を用いることができる。芳香発生時に、通電による加熱機構を有していることが好ましい。例えば、開閉器がオンの状態にあるとき、または、制御器よりの情報に基づいて、所定時間加熱するヒート線を固体金属からなる容器の外側にコイル状に巻いておくことにより、容易に加熱することができる容器が好ましい。
また、香料収納容器として合成樹脂製チューブを用いることができる。この場合、香料やアルコールのような揮発性溶剤に侵されないことが必要である。合成樹脂としてはポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリプロピレン等を挙げることができる。
【００１１】
また、芳香保管部４は、芳香剤を含有する多孔質物質を用いることができる。
多孔質物質としては、多孔性金属、多孔性合成樹脂等がある。
多孔性金属としては、アルミナ、シリカアルミナのほか、ステンレス、Ｃｏ−Ｃｒ合金、ＴｉおよびＴｉ合金の焼結体がある。
多孔性合成樹脂としては、ポリウレタンフォーム、ポリイミドフォーム、ポリエチレンフォーム等があり、又、重合体中の溶剤除去法によって得られた多孔質体がある。これら多孔質体は連通気泡を有するものが好ましい。
芳香保管部４は、複数の芳香保管部によって形成することができる。その場合、香料の選択が可能なように、例えば、制御部からの信号に基づいて、特定の芳香保管部を選択的に加熱、放香するようにしても良い。
【００１２】
芳香保管部４を、芳香剤を含有する多孔質物質で成型したファンとすることで、芳香保管部４を独立して設ける必要がなくなる。しかし、この方法において芳香の放出が十分でないときは、芳香保管部４を補完のため設けることができる。芳香保管部４は、容易に交換し得るよう脱着容易に構成することが好ましい。
【００１３】
電池部７と駆動部６とを結ぶ回路の途中に開閉部８を設ける。開閉部８は、通常オン−オフスイッチが用いられ、図２に示すように、その一端が筆記具外部に突出した押しボタン形式となるように構成することにより、容易に駆動部モーターの回転をスタート、ストップすることができる。また、このスイッチとモーター間に制御部１０を設けることにより、制御部からの制御信号により、モーターの回転時間を管理したり、芳香剤の選択や芳香容器の加熱を行うことができる。例えば、複数の異なる香料を準備し、それぞれの香料をその周辺に加熱コイルを有する金属容器に収納し、制御部からの制御信号により、所定時間選択された芳香をファンにより放散するようにすることもできる。
【００１４】
【発明の効果】
本発明により、仕事や勉強における最も身近な道具である筆記具が、芳香を必要とするときに芳香を発する、自由に制御し得る制御機能を有する芳香型筆記具を提供することができた。
