Moreover, the length of the liquid absorption core 19 is 10-30 mm, and 10-20 mm is especially preferable.

  A volatilization body 22 is assembled to the lower container 12 at a position facing the liquid absorbent core 19, and a liquid reservoir chamber 23 is formed below the volatilization body 22.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the volatilization body 22 is formed by integrally forming the base 24, the volatilization parts 25, 25, 25, 25, and the liquid absorption part 26, that is, the same material. . The volatilization body 22 is accommodated in the lower container 12 so as to be sandwiched between the lower end portion of the bottle 11 (that is, the liquid absorbent core 19) and the lower container 12, and the liquid preparation 13 is discharged from the bottle 11 through the liquid absorbent core 19. Receive the supply.

  The base 24 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and the lower end surface of the liquid absorbent core 19 is in surface contact with the upper surface thereof. When the liquid absorbent core 19 comes into contact with the upper surface, the liquid preparation 13 is transferred through the liquid absorbent core 19, and the liquid preparation 13 is volatilized from the volatilization portions 25, 25, 25, 25.

  The volatilization portions 25, 25, 25, 25 extend obliquely upward from the four end edges of the base portion 24 to the vicinity of the volatilization opening 15.

  The liquid absorption part 26 is cut so as to have a predetermined width between two adjacent edges of the base part 24, and is bent so as to protrude from the lower surface of the base part 24 toward the liquid reservoir chamber 23. It has been. The liquid absorption part 26 has a function of returning the liquid preparation 13 accommodated in the liquid storage chamber 23 to the volatilization body 22.

  As the volatilization body 22, any material can be used as long as it can hold the liquid formulation 13 and volatilize the active ingredient of the liquid formulation 13, and specifically, organic materials such as resin, pulp, etc. A porous material made of a material, an inorganic material such as glass fiber, glass powder, or the like can be used. Particularly preferable materials for the volatilization body 22 include pulp, nonwoven fabric, and the like. Moreover, the volatilization body 22 may consist of a some material. For example, the volatilization body 22 is made of pulp as a main raw material and bonded with a binder, and has a configuration in which tissue-like pulp materials, nonwoven fabrics, and the like are stretched on the front and back surfaces in order to improve surface strength and shape retention. It is preferable that Moreover, you may make it acquire the effect that the active ingredient of the hold | maintained liquid formulation 13 volatilizes by making the volatilization body 22 hold | maintain the liquid preparation 13 of predetermined amount previously at the time of opening of use simultaneously with opening. The thickness of the volatilizer 22 is preferably 2 to 12 mm, and more preferably 5 to 10 mm. Moreover, you may use for the volatilization body 22 what mixed and adhered the component which has a deodorizing function and antibacterial functions, such as green tea powder, activated carbon powder, and coffee bean powder. Further, the receptor (soluble or sparingly soluble) containing and holding the active ingredient or additive in the desired carrier is held in the volatilizer 22, and the receptor is gradually dissolved by the supplied liquid preparation 13. Also good. The volatilizer 22 may be polymer powder, polymer fiber, or the like having at least one of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, which has a large liquid absorption capacity. In this case, the liquid reservoir 23 can be minimized or omitted as long as the present invention can be achieved.

  The liquid storage chamber 23 has a bottom and is open at the top, and the volatilizer 22 is assembled to the open top. The liquid storage chamber 23 soaks the liquid preparation 13 from the bottle 11 into the volatilization body 22, and when the volatilization body 22 becomes saturated and exceeds its liquid holding capacity, the liquid preparation 13 in an amount of the excess is stored. It has a function to accommodate once. Therefore, it is preferable that the tip of the liquid absorption part 26 is disposed so as to contact the bottom plate 27 of the liquid storage chamber 23 in order to absorb all the liquid preparation 13 collected in the liquid storage chamber 23 without waste. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, the volatilization body 22 has volatilized portions 25, 25, 25, 25 that protrude obliquely upward from the four end edges of the base portion 24 in the shape of four petals. The volatilization body 22 forms the base 24, the volatilization parts 25, 25, 25, 25, and the liquid absorption part 26 only by making a notch in, for example, a rectangular plate-shaped material. Therefore, since the liquid absorption part 26 can be produced simultaneously when manufacturing the volatilization body 22, productivity can be improved. Moreover, since the liquid absorption part 26 is integrally molded with the base 24, the liquid preparation 13 accommodated in the liquid storage chamber 23 can be efficiently returned to the volatilization body 22.

  In such an inverted volatilization apparatus 10, the liquid preparation 13 stored in the bottle 11 is impregnated in the liquid absorption core 19, and then impregnated in the volatilization body 22, whereby the liquid is quantitatively discharged from the bottle 11. . And the air containing the active ingredient of the liquid formulation 13 is diffused outside from the volatilization parts 25, 25, 25, 25 of the volatilization body 22 through the volatilization opening 15.

Next, the decorative sheet 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
The decorative sheet 1 is formed by molding a synthetic resin (PET) into a thin sheet. The decorative sheet 1 is formed in a substantially circular planar shape. In this embodiment, by forming shallow notches 2 on the periphery at intervals of 72 °, five crests (notches are formed on the outer periphery. No part) 3 and five cutouts 2 are alternately formed. The notches 2 are preferably provided evenly on the outer periphery of the sheet 1 and are preferable because they are easily disposed at a predetermined position in the bottle 11 and air does not easily accumulate and is easily removed. In particular, it is preferable that the cutout portion 2 is uniformly arranged at about 4 to 8 locations so that the decorative sheet 1 is substantially circular in appearance.

  The dimensions of the decorative sheet 1 are set according to the size and shape of the inverted volatilization apparatus 10 to which the decorative sheet 1 is applied. In this embodiment, the thickness is about 0.2 mm, the diameter is 80 mm, The notch amount is set to 3 mm, and the radius of curvature of the arc of the notch 2 is set to 100 mm. The notch amount is preferably about 1 to 5 mm. If it is too narrow, the flow path becomes insufficient, and if it is too wide, it may become unstable in the bottle 11, which is not preferable.

  Further, an opening 4 having a diameter of 5 mm is formed at the center of the decorative sheet 1. The opening 4 and the notch 2 serve as a flow path for the liquid preparation 13 when the decorative sheet 1 is disposed in the inverted volatilization device 11 as shown in FIGS. At the same time, the manufacturing process has the effect of reducing air accumulation.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a large and small circular pattern 5 and a star-shaped pattern 6 are printed on one side of the decorative sheet 1. Each pattern 5 and 6 is colored in an arbitrary color. The portions other than the portions where the patterns 5 and 6 are printed are transparent.

Next, the operation of the decorative sheet 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, when the decorative sheet 1 is wound in a cylindrical shape from the opening 18 formed in the bottle 11 and inserted into the opening 18 and then released, the decorative sheet 1 expands by its own elasticity. However, it may fall into the bottle 11 and stop at an oblique position as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, the bottle 11 is automatically filled with a certain amount of the liquid preparation 13 from the opening 18 in the manufacturing process. When the liquid preparation 13 is supplied in the state shown in FIG. 7, air may accumulate between the lower surface of the decorative sheet 1 and the bottle 11, and the accumulated air becomes bubbles at a stretch upward, That is, it rises toward the opening 18.

  For this reason, the liquid preparation being filled in the opening 18 may collide with the rising bubbles, and the liquid preparation 13 may overflow and spill. When this phenomenon occurs, there is a problem that a fixed amount of the liquid preparation 13 cannot be filled in the bottle 11, and the spilled liquid preparation 13 is wasted and the surroundings become dirty.

  However, since the decorative sheet 1 has five notches 2, five gaps are formed between the outer periphery of the decorative sheet 1 and the inner surface of the bottle 11. Furthermore, since the opening 4 is formed in the center of the decorative sheet 1, the air reservoir described above is eliminated.

  When the liquid preparation 13 is supplied into the bottle 11 in this state, only small bubbles are lifted upward, and the supply of the liquid preparation 13 to the bottle 11, that is, the filling of the bottle 11 is not hindered. Can be prevented. Therefore, the working efficiency is improved, and wasteful consumption of the liquid preparation 13 and surrounding dirt can be prevented.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the decorative sheet 1 is positioned on the neck portion 28 in the bottle 1 in a state where the inverted volatilization device 11 is in a use state. In this arrangement position, the opening 4 is positioned substantially on the center line of the inverted volatilization device 11, and the notch 2 is positioned around the neck portion 28 of the bottle 11.

  Therefore, when the inverted volatilization device 11 is put into use, the liquid preparation 13 in the bottle 11 flows through the opening 4 and accumulates in the neck 28, and then is absorbed by the liquid absorption core 19 and further reaches the volatilization body 22. As described above, the drug is volatilized.

  As described above, the circular pattern 5 and the star-shaped pattern 6 printed on the decorative sheet 1 can be seen from the outside of the bottle 11 while the chemical is volatilized. Since the various patterns 5 and 6 are refracted by the liquid preparation 13 and appear to expand or appear to float, the patterns 5 and 6 become fantastically changed, and the appearance decoration of the inverted volatilization apparatus 1 is improved. .

  As described above, the inverted volatilization apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment applies the decorative sheet 1 to reliably and smoothly supply the liquid preparation 13 to the bottle 11 in the manufacturing process. Can be done.

  When used as the inverted volatilization device 10, the various patterns 5 and 6 printed on the decorative sheet 1 can be visually recognized from the outside of the bottle 11, and the pattern is deformed by the light refraction action, the curved surface of the bottle 11, or the like. Therefore, the appearance decoration is improved.

  If the area of the opening 4 is increased, the liquid preparation 13 and air can be easily circulated, so that the liquid preparation can be satisfactorily supplied to the liquid absorbent core 19 and the bottle 11 is filled with the liquid preparation. Although it is possible to prevent air from accumulating in the lower part of 1, the opening 4 alone does not sufficiently eliminate the accumulation of air below the decorative sheet 1. Considering only this point, the large opening 4 is preferable. However, when the opening 4 is enlarged, the area for printing the various patterns 5 and 6 is reduced. Accordingly, the size and number of the openings 4 are set in consideration of the printing area of the various patterns 5 and 6.

The specifications of the decorative sheet 1 are as follows.
Diameter about 60-100mm
Diameter of opening 1-5mm
Thickness 0.1-0.5mm
Notch amount 1-5mm
The material is polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylic resin, etc., preferably polyethylene terephthalate.

  The decoration on the decorative sheet is made by laminating synthetic resin (PET) and applying a decorative member, printing, or the like in the middle (inner surface side). If printing is performed on the outer surface side, the liquid preparation and ink etc. may be in direct contact with each other, causing problems such as melting or fading.

  In order to make the printing and the like look clear when viewed through a liquid preparation without such a problem, an optimal aspect is to treat the ink of the desired color to PET and to treat the treated surface. A decorative sheet having a structure in which a white ink is laminated on the above, an ink having the desired color is further processed thereon, and a PET is laminated thereon is preferable. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to eliminate the influence of translucency, light scattering, and the like and obtain the desired color.

  Moreover, since it becomes such a structure, since the front and back of a decoration sheet are lose | eliminated, manufacturing efficiency can be improved. Since the decorative sheet put in the bottle cannot be taken out, those with front and back sides are not preferable.

Next, a second embodiment of the decorative sheet will be described with reference to FIG.
The material and thickness of the decorative sheet 7 in the second embodiment may be the same as those of the decorative sheet 1, and the diameter is 80 mm, and the diameter of the opening 4 is 5 mm. The decorative sheet 7 is formed with four notches 7a on the outer periphery at 90 ° intervals. In addition, the notch amount of each notch part 7a is 3 mm.

  Although not shown, various patterns 5 and 6 are also printed on the decorative sheet 7 as described above.

  In the case where the decorative sheet 7 is applied to the inverted volatilization device 10, in the manufacturing process, the air pool is eliminated by the opening 4 and the four notches 7a. 11 can be reliably and smoothly supplied with the liquid preparation 13.

  On the other hand, when the inverted volatilization device 10 is used upright, the liquid preparation 13 circulates through the opening 4 and the notch 7a, and the fragrance is emitted like the above embodiment. And the various patterns 5 and 6 can be visually recognized from the outer side of the bottle 11, and an external decoration property improves.

Next, a comparative example of the decorative sheet will be described with reference to FIG.
The material and thickness of the decorative sheet 8 in this comparative example may be the same as those of the decorative sheet 1, and the diameter is 80 mm and the diameter of the opening is 5 mm. Although not shown, various patterns 5 and 6 are also printed on the decorative sheet 8 as described above.

  The decorative sheet 8 is not formed with a notch in the outer peripheral portion, and only the opening 4 is formed.

  Also in the decorative sheet 8, when the inverted volatilization device 10 is used upright, the liquid preparation 13 can be circulated from the bottle 11 to the volatile body 22, and the pattern of the decorative sheet 8 can be transferred from the outside of the bottle 11. Since it can be visually recognized, the appearance decoration can be improved.

  As described above, according to the inverted volatilization device 10 which is an embodiment of the present invention, the decorative sheets 1, 7, and 8 can be visually recognized from the outside of the bottle 11, and thus the appearance at the time of use. The decorativeness can be improved. The patterns 5, 6 of the decorative sheets 1, 7, 8 are enlarged by the liquid preparation 13 in the bottle 11 and appear on the surface of the bottle, and depending on the amount of the liquid preparation 13 in the bottle 11 as the liquid preparation 13 decreases. Since the pattern appearing on the bottle surface also changes, the decorativeness of the inverted volatilization device 10 is significantly improved. Moreover, since the decorative sheets 1 and 7 have the flow passages 2 and 4 for the liquid preparation 13, the liquid preparation 13 can be reliably and smoothly supplied to the bottle 11 when the liquid preparation 13 is filled in the manufacturing process. .

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, the decorative sheet 1 is not transparent and may be colored and printed with various patterns. Moreover, the patterns 5 and 6 may not be printed but may be a thin sheet or the like in the form of the patterns 5 and 6.

Example The decorative sheets 1, 7, and 8 shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6 were inserted into the bottle 11 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 7, respectively, and then developed. After filling, the filling situation was observed.
The filling conditions for filling the liquid preparation 13 into the bottle 11 are as follows.
(1) Bottle capacity (full capacity) 455mL Bottle neck inner diameter about 26mm
(2) Liquid filling amount 430mL
(3) Filling nozzle diameter (inner diameter) 1/2 inch (4) Liquid filling speed 54 mL / sec

Example 1
As a result of using the decorative sheet 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, overflow of the liquid preparation did not occur during filling. In addition, air did not collect under the decorative sheet 1.

Example 2
As a result of using the decorative sheet 7 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, no overflow of the liquid preparation occurred during filling. However, it was confirmed that a slight amount of air was accumulated under the decorative sheet 7.

Comparative Example As a result of using the decorative sheet 8 of the comparative example shown in FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the liquid preparation overflowed during the filling. In addition, it was confirmed that a large amount of air was accumulated between the decorative sheet 8 and the bottle 11.

  From the above, the decorative sheet of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is most preferable in order to prevent the liquid formulation from overflowing from the bottle during production and to reliably supply the liquid formulation during use. I understand that.
