Here, the frame body 70C includes a pair of frame body portions 71C to which the respective meshes 60C are fixed by insert molding, and hinges 72C that connect these frame body portions 71C so as to be foldable, and each of them faces the hinges 72C. A protrusion 73C and a claw portion 74C are provided at the edge of the. As a result, the frame 70C maintains a bi-folded posture by engaging the projection 73C and the claw 74C with a minute gap between the two meshes 60C. One of the frames 70C is provided with an annular portion 75C.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7, by inserting the annular portion 75C into the sucking core 20, the tip of the sucking core 20 comes into contact with the mesh 60C, and the contents are formed by capillary action between the minute gaps between the stacked meshes 60C. It flows and volatilizes from the outer periphery of the mesh 60C. Moreover, since air flows through the mesh of the mesh 60C, the contents can be volatilized from the mesh, and the volatilization efficiency can be further increased. Moreover, since the volatilization efficiency can be changed simply by changing the roughness of the mesh, the volatilization efficiency can be easily optimized according to the contents.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the new volatilization agent container which becomes cheaper than the volatilization method using the conventional filter paper can be provided, without impairing the volatilization effect.
