The inner screw cap can be pivoted together by projecting a locking projection on the outer peripheral surface side thereof and contacting the locking projection on the inner peripheral surface side of the outer cap by the rotation of the outer cap. The inner screw cap and the outer cap screwed from the container by the rotation are separated from the outer cap when the outer cap and the outer cap are removed from the container.

  In this configuration, the operation from the stage before use to the usable state is simple, and it is possible to achieve quick setting to a volatilizable state. Further, when the inner screw cap is assembled to the container, the backlash of the outer cap is small and it is difficult to remove only the outer cap, so that fraud can be prevented.

Further, in another volatilization container according to the present invention, an inner stopper disposed in the mouth tube portion of the container, a suction core held by the inner stopper, and sucks the volatilizing agent out of the container, and a suction A volatilizing body that volatilizes the volatilized agent, and the inner screw cap covers the upper part of the suction core and opens the upper part of the suction core after being separated from the outer cap. The outer cap is composed of an upper body having the volatilization hole and a lower body having an engagement protrusion to be assembled to the container, and the volatilization body is accommodated between the upper body and the lower body. and, volatiles Chikarada the prior removal of the outer cap, with being held above the inner screw cap, when mounted on the container after the outer cap has been removed, the opened intake increased core Is held in contact with the top of the.

  In the above structure, when the volatilizing agent is in a liquid state, the volatilizing body is infiltrated after being sucked up by the sucking core, so that it can be made efficient.

  Further, in another volatilization container according to the present invention, during rotation of the inner screw cap accompanying rotation of the outer cap, the inner screw cap pushes the outer cap upward while sandwiching the volatilized body, and the outer cap and the container And the outer cap can be removed.

  In the above structure, the outer cap can be removed from the container by rotating the inner screw cap upward by simply rotating the outer cap. Therefore, the outer cap can be easily removed.

  Moreover, the another volatilization container which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: The inner-screw cap is provided with the top wall convex part which pushes up an outer cap upwards, with the volatilization body pinched | interposed.

  In the above structure, the volatilization body is reliably pushed upward by the top wall convex portion, whereby the outer cap is also pushed upward, and the outer cap can be removed.

The above-described configuration of the present invention has the following effects.
In the present invention, the operation from the stage before use to the usable state is very simple, and it is possible to quickly set to a volatilizable state. In addition, when the inner screw cap is assembled to the container, the play of the outer cap is small and it is difficult to remove only the outer cap, so that it is possible to prevent fraud during distribution.

  Moreover, in this invention, even if a volatilizing agent is liquid, it can volatilize efficiently. In addition, since the volatilization body is provided between the upper and lower bodies of the outer cap, the liquid volatilization can be achieved simply by rotating the outer cap and separating with the screwing of the inner screw cap, and then attaching the outer cap to the container. The agent is ready for volatilization.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, since the outer cap can be removed from the container simply by rotating the outer cap, the outer cap can be easily removed even by a weak person such as a child or an elderly person.

In addition, each central axis of each component is located on a common axis. In the present embodiment, this common axis is referred to as a container axis O, a direction orthogonal to the container axis O is a radial direction, and a direction around the container axis O is a circumferential direction.

  The container 10 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom portion 11, a trunk portion 12, a shoulder portion 13, a mouth tube portion 14, a neck ring 15, and a constricted portion 16, and the shoulder portion 13 is provided on the upper end of the tubular trunk portion 12. A neck ring 15 is projected from a lower portion of the outer periphery of the mouth tube part 14. On the lower side of the shoulder portion 13, there is a constricted portion 16 whose center is squeezed along the circumferential direction. The container 10 body is filled with a fragrance liquid as the volatilizing agent 22. Moreover, in this embodiment, the mouth tube part 14 side is called upper side along the container axis | shaft O, and the bottom part 11 side is called lower side.

  An inner plug 30 is engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 14. An inner thread 14 a that is threadedly engaged with the inner thread cap 40 is provided around the outer peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 14.

  The wick 20 has a role of sucking the volatilizing agent 22 to the outside of the container 10 and soaking it into the volatile body 21, and is a nonwoven fabric and a synthetic fiber bundle used in this conventional volatilization container having liquid absorbency. It is formed in a long cylindrical shape made of natural fiber bundle, foamed synthetic resin, or the like. The volatilizer 21 may be one used as a volatilizer in this conventional circular container made of volatile paper, synthetic resin foam, felt or the like.

  The inner plug body 30 is provided mainly for supporting the suction core 20. The inner plug body 30 has a central portion of the top wall 31 whose peripheral edge is in close contact with the upper surface of the mouth tube portion 14, and a storage recess 32 for projecting the upper end portion of the suction core 20 in the central portion. The fitting cylinder 33 is suspended downward from the center of the storage recess 32. The suction core 20 is supported by the fitting cylinder 33 in a state where the upper end protrudes into the storage recess 32, and the lower end is suspended from the lower part in the main body of the container 10. In addition, a vent hole 34 is formed in the top wall 31 of the portion that forms the storage recess 32. Air can be circulated from the outside of the container 10 to the inside of the container 10 through the vent hole 34, and air replacement in the container 10 can be performed. Therefore, air replacement can be performed by the amount of the volatilizing agent 22 sucked up by the sucking core 20, and the inside of the container 10 can be prevented from becoming a negative pressure. Thereby, it is possible to favorably suck up the volatilizing agent 22.

  The inner screw cap 40 has an outer thread 41a that meshes with the inner thread 14a of the mouth tube portion 14 on the inner peripheral surface, and a mounting tube 41 that is screwed to the outer peripheral surface side of the mouth tube portion 14, A top wall 42 located above the mounting cylinder 41 is provided. On the top wall 42, a top wall convex portion 42a for placing the volatilizer 21 in a stage before use is projected. A plurality of locking projections 43 project from the outer peripheral surface side of the mounting cylinder 41. In addition, an annular seal protrusion 44 is provided on the lower surface of the top wall 42 so as to be fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the storage recess 32 of the inner plug body 30. As a result, the sealing property is further enhanced, and volatilization of the volatile component can be prevented in the stage before use.

  The outer cap 50 is fixed to the container 10 so as to be detachable and has a top tube shape covering the upper part of the container 10. The outer cap 50 includes an upper body 51 and a lower body 52. The upper stage 51 is provided with an engaged cylinder 53 for engaging with the lower stage 52 on the lower side, and an annular protrusion 53 a projects radially outward on the outer peripheral surface side of the engaged cylinder 53. It is installed. A plurality of slit-shaped volatilization holes 51 a are formed in an inverted L shape from the peripheral wall 54 to the top wall 55 of the upper body 51. Therefore, the volatile component of the volatile agent 22 volatilized in the atmosphere by the volatile body 21 is volatilized to the outside of the outer cap 50 through the volatile hole 51a. An engagement cylinder 56 for engaging with the upper stage body 51 is disposed outside the lower stage body 52, and an annular locking claw 56 a is formed radially inward on the inner peripheral surface side of the engagement cylinder 56. Is protruding. Further, a support cylinder portion 57 is formed inside the lower body 52, and a plurality of locking projections 58 are formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the support cylinder portion 57. A peripheral wall cylinder 59 is formed on the lower side of the lower body 52, and an engagement protrusion 59a is provided on the inner peripheral surface side thereof in a radially inward direction. The upper-stage body 51 and the lower-stage body 52 are engaged by the annular protrusion 53a of the engaged cylinder 53 and the locking claw 56a of the engagement cylinder 56, and the top wall of the support cylinder portion 57 of the lower-stage body 52 when engaged. The volatilized body 21 is housed so that the upper body 51 and the lower body 52 are engaged with each other. Thus, after the inner screw cap 40 is unscrewed from the container 10, the volatilizer 21 can be placed on the suction core 20 just by attaching the outer cap 50 to the container 10, and can be used. At this time, it is necessary to match the height position of the upper end portion of the suction core 20 with the height position of the top end portion of the support cylinder portion 57 in order to ensure that the volatilization body 21 is placed on the suction core 20.

  Next, the effect | action of the volatilization container 1 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the volatilization container 1 is covered with the upper part of the suction core 20 because the inner screw cap 40 is screwed into the container 10 as shown in FIG. 1. Further, since the suction core 20 and the volatilization body 21 are separated from each other with the inner screw cap 40 interposed therebetween, the volatilizing agent 22 sucked up by the suction core 20 does not penetrate into the volatilization body 21 side. Therefore, the volatilizing agent 22 does not volatilize outside the inner screw cap 40 before use.

  Next, description will be made regarding a case where the device is in a usable state. First, as shown in FIG. 2, when the outer cap 50 is rotated in the screwing direction, only the outer cap 50 is initially rotated, and when the outer cap 50 is continuously rotated, the locking on the inner peripheral surface side of the outer cap 50 is performed. The protrusion 58 and the locking protrusion 43 on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner screw cap 40 come into contact with each other, and when the outer cap 50 is further rotated, the inner screw cap 40 also starts to rotate together. If the rotation continues, the inner screw cap 40 rotates upward and is unscrewed from the container 10. As a result, the inner screw cap 40 can be removed from the container 10, and when the inner screw cap 40 and the outer cap 50 are both applied in an oblique direction, the engagement protrusion 59 a separates from the lower side of the neck ring 15. The outer cap 50 can be removed from the container 10.

Simultaneously with removal of the outer cap 50, the screw cap 40 within which had settled on the inner peripheral surface side pulling et al is, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner screw cap 40 can be easily separated from the outer cap 50, The container 10 opens the upper part of the suction core 20.

Thereafter, the outer cap 50 is fitted into the container 10 as shown in FIG. At this time, the engagement protrusion 59a of the outer cap 50 is securely fitted on the lower side of the neck ring 15 and attached. When the outer cap 50 is attached, the volatilizing agent 22 which is in contact with the upper part of the suction core 20 where the volatilization body 21 between the upper stage body 51 and the lower stage body 52 is opened and is sucked up to the outside of the container 10 by the suction core 20 is obtained. The volatilization body 21 is impregnated and spreads over the entire volatilization body 21. At the same time, since the surface of the volatilization body 21 is in contact with the atmosphere, the volatilization component of the volatilizing agent 22 is volatilized and volatilizes to the outside of the outer cap 50 through the volatilization hole 51a as indicated by the arrow shown in FIG. Is done.
As a result, it can be volatilized around the volatilization container 1.

  In the present invention, the volatilization body 21 is provided between the upper body 51 and the lower body 52 of the outer cap 50, and there is no need to install the volatilization body 21. The possibility that the volatilizing agent 22 adheres to hands or clothes or the volatilizing agent 22 overflows can be suppressed. In the present invention, since the operability is almost the same in the size of the volatilization body 21, it is suitable for a small volatilization container for an automobile, which has conventionally been difficult to install quickly when the volatilization body 21 is downsized. Can be used. For an automobile interior, after attaching the arm portion 61 of the clip 60 to the constricted portion 16 of the container 10, the clip portion 62 is locked to the air blowing port in the vehicle, thereby scenting the air discharged from the air blowing port. It becomes possible to attach. In particular, since air passes between the slit-shaped volatilization holes 51a, volatilization efficiency can be increased.

  Next, 2nd Embodiment of the volatilization container 1 which concerns on this invention is described using FIGS. Note that the same reference numerals in the second embodiment denote the same parts as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the inner screw cap 40 and the outer cap 50 shown in FIG. 5 are different from the first embodiment. In the inner screw cap 40, the top wall convex portion 42 a is formed not only at the central portion but also at the peripheral portion that is the upper portion of the mounting cylinder 41.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the outer cap 50 is rotated in the screwing direction, only the outer cap 50 is initially rotated, but immediately, the latch located on the inner peripheral surface side of the outer cap 50. The protrusion 58 and the locking protrusion 43 on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner screw cap 40 come into contact with each other, and when the outer cap 50 is further rotated, the inner screw cap 40 also starts to rotate together. If the rotation continues, the inner screw cap 40 starts to rotate upward, and finally the volatilizer 21 is sandwiched between the inner screw cap 40 and the outer cap 50. The top wall convex portion 42a of the screw cap 40 surely pushes upward from the central portion and the peripheral portion without bending the volatilizing body 21, thereby causing the engagement protrusion 59a of the outer cap 50 and the lower side of the neck ring 15 of the container 10 to be Thus, the outer cap 50 can be removed. After that, after the inner screw cap 40 is separated from the outer cap 50 as in the first embodiment, the outer cap 50 is fitted into the container 10 and attached.

  In the volatilization container 1 configured as described above, the outer cap 50 can be detached from the container 10 by simply rotating the outer cap 50, and the inner screw cap 40 can be removed from the container 10 by rotating upward. The cap 50 can be removed.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of this invention and its effect were demonstrated along embodiment, embodiment of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.

  The present invention is not limited to fragrances, but includes, for example, air fresheners, deodorants, deodorants, malodor neutralizers, insecticides, insect repellents, repellents, drugs, disinfectants, disinfectants, stimulants If it aims at volatilizing volatilizing agents, such as an aromatherapy composition, it can apply to various volatilization containers.

  Further, the volatilizing agent 22 is not limited to a liquid one, and may be a solid, gel, or gel-like material in which a particulate volatilization component is mixed.

  As described above, the present invention can be used in a wider range of applications in the field of containers that store volatile agents such as fragrances, deodorants, insect repellents, and repellents and volatilize them in the surrounding atmosphere. it can.
