Description

  The present invention relates to a volatilization device that volatilizes a volatilizing agent in a space such as a room or in a vehicle using a liquid preparation containing a volatilizing agent such as an aromatic component or a deodorant component, and particularly relates to an inverted volatilization device.

  Conventionally, as a method of volatilizing a volatilizing agent, a method of sucking up a liquid preparation using a liquid absorbing material as typified by a fragrance is generally used. In order to increase the volatilization efficiency, the liquid absorbing material is enlarged in shape, or is sucked up and held and volatilized by another core-containing material.

  However, when the liquid absorbent material is provided in the upper part of the container, it is difficult to uniformly volatilize the volatilizer in the liquid formulation because the liquid formulation is against gravity and is sucked up by capillary action such as the liquid absorbent material. There is a problem that the performance at the end changes. For example, the fragrance component that is a volatilizing agent tends to have an initial scent that is not at the end.

Further, in order to solve these problems, providing a liquid absorbing material in the bottom of the container, there is a way Ru to volatilize such volatilization agent by using a part of gravity. That is, it is a liquid absorption system that is used against the gravity instead of against it. However, there is a difficult aspect to volatilize uniformly, and an improvement proposal has been made.

  In a volatilization apparatus that includes a liquid absorbing material in a sealed container sealed with a liquid formulation, inverts the liquid formulation to contact the liquid absorbing material, and volatilizes the volatilizing agent through the volatilization carrier. There is a proposal in which the liquid-absorbing material is a porous material using polyethylene terephthalate and the range of porosity is defined (Patent Document 1).

  However, increasing the porosity of the liquid-absorbing material has the effect of vaporizing uniformly, but there is a problem that the cost of the polyethylene terephthalate porous material is high.

  In view of the problems of the background art, a volatilization device that is inexpensive and convenient to use is desired.
