JP 2003-205986 A

  The above container has volatilized paper set directly under the hermetic seal, and the volatilized paper is infiltrated with the contents liquid, so you can start using it just by removing the hermetic seal on the top. In this case, the cup container is removed from the overcap and the pedestal, and a special effect that the spare cup container filled with the content liquid can be easily replaced is exhibited.

  However, in the said container, since volatilization paper makes the flat plate shape mounted in the top | upper surface part, exposure of volatilization paper becomes only an upper surface and a surrounding surface. Since the volatilization amount tends to increase in proportion to the surface area of the volatile paper, in order to obtain a sufficient volatilization amount, the size of the cup container must be made larger. In addition, the vent hole of the overcap has a constant opening area, and the volatilization amount is always constant.
