Description

The present invention relates to a scent presenting device, and more particularly to a scent presenting device that facilitates the experience of the scent of products such as shampoo, conditioner, and fabric softener.

In recent years, for example, cosmetics such as shampoos, conditioners and antiperspirants, and daily necessities such as fabric softeners and room fragrances have been developed in various types, and each of them is differentiating from other products. Has been done. Under such circumstances, differentiation from other products by scent is one of the important factors, and many products with various scents reproduced are sold.

However, there are many parts of differentiation by scent that cannot be understood without actually having the consumer experience the scent, and it is not possible for the consumer to open the product at the store and check the scent. Therefore, it is common to display a scent sample containing the same fragrance as that conventionally scented in a product near the product so that consumers can freely experience the scent of the product. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

Registered Utility Model No. 3143644

However, in a general scent sample in which a powder carrying a fragrance is stored in a container with a lid, the scent of the scent sample inside cannot be smelled unless the lid of the container is opened. Therefore, it is often the case that the consumer does not open the lid of the storage container and smell the scent inside. In addition, in order to allow consumers to easily experience the fragrance, if it is an open-type storage container, the fragrance will immediately stop and many consumers will not be able to experience the fragrance.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance presenting device capable of eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.

The present invention is a scent presenting device for accommodating an aromatic fluid which is a liquid containing a fragrance or a powder or granule carrying a fragrance and releasing the scent of the contained aromatic fluid to the outside, and is a sealing sheet. It is provided with an opening covered with a container for accommodating the aromatic fluid and a knob formed on the opposite side of the opening, and the sealing sheet allows gas to pass through. The aromatic fluid is prevented from passing through, and can stand on its own with the knob facing up and the opening facing down, with the opening facing up and the knob facing down. It provides a scent presenting device that is incapable of self-reliance in the state of facing.

According to the scent presenting device of the present invention, it becomes possible for consumers to positively pick up the scent, and more consumers can experience the scent emitted from the scent sample.

Further, the accommodating portion 20 is formed so that the internal space 21 gradually becomes smaller toward the other side in the axial direction X. Specifically, the internal space 21 is formed so that the cross-sectional area orthogonal to the axial direction X gradually decreases from the opening 22 toward the other side of the axial direction X. Since the outer shape of the accommodating portion 20 gradually becomes smaller toward the constricted portion 24, it is easy to pick when smelling, and when it is returned to a predetermined position, it becomes independent (upright) and difficult to roll. The internal space 21 of the accommodating portion 20 does not have to be gradually reduced as a whole toward the constricted portion 24, and at least a part thereof may be gradually reduced toward the constricted portion 24. For example, the internal space 21 in the accommodating portion 20 may include an internal space having a tubular inner peripheral surface and an internal space whose diameter or cross-sectional area gradually decreases toward the constricted portion 24. Further, the internal space 21 of the accommodating portion 20 may not have a portion that gradually becomes smaller toward the constricted portion 24.

The knob portion 23 is formed on the side opposite to the opening 22 in the axial direction X, that is, on the side opposite to the opening 22 side in the scent presenting device 1A or the container body 2A, and the scent presenting device 1A is formed in the opening 22. In a state where the side is self-supporting (upright) with the side facing downward in the vertical direction, the side is arranged above the constricted portion 24. The picking portion 23 is formed in a substantially spherical shape, and has a shape that is easy for consumers to pick. The shape of the picking portion 23 is not particularly limited as long as it is a shape that is easy for consumers to pick. For example, in addition to the substantially spherical shape of the present embodiment, even if the shape is symmetrical with respect to the axial direction X such as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape or a substantially cubic shape, it is an asymmetrical shape having a design such as a tree or a star shape. May be good.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, an internal space 25 is provided inside the knob portion 23, and the internal space 25 and the internal space 21 of the accommodating portion 20 communicate with each other.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing sheet 3 is composed of a sheet that allows gas to pass through but does not allow aromatic fluid to pass through. In the first embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 allows gas such as a volatile aroma component of the aromatic fluid to pass through, but does not allow the aromatic fluid itself to pass through. For example, when the aromatic fluid is a liquid, the sealing sheet is preferably a porous sheet that allows gas to pass through but does not allow liquid to pass through. When the aromatic fluid is a powder or granular material, it may be a mesh-like sheet having an opening that does not allow the powder or granular material to pass through. The material of the net-like sheet is arbitrary, such as synthetic resin or metal.
In the first embodiment, the sealing sheet 3 is composed of a porous sheet which is a single-layer breathable sheet. As the porous sheet, a resin-made porous sheet or a resin-based sheet having ventilation holes can be used, and for example, a resin sheet such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be used. .. Specifically, the resin-made porous sheet is obtained by forming a melt-kneaded product of a thermoplastic resin and an organic or inorganic filler incompatible with the resin in the form of a film and stretching it uniaxially or biaxially. It can be used that has a fine porous structure.
The thickness of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 5 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

The air permeability of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 1000 seconds or more, more preferably 10,000 seconds or more, and from the viewpoint of odor quality, preferably 100,000 seconds or less, preferably 50,000 seconds or less. It is especially preferable. The air permeability of the sealing sheet 3 is preferably 1000 seconds or more and 100,000 seconds or less, and more preferably 10,000 seconds or more and 50,000 seconds or less. The air permeability is a value measured by JIS P8117 (revised in 2009), and is defined by the time required for 100 ml of air to pass through an area of 6.45 cm2 under a constant pressure. The air permeability can be measured with a Wangken type air permeability needle or a measuring instrument similar thereto.

As the sealing sheet 3, in addition to the above-mentioned porous sheet, a composite sheet formed by laminating a fiber layer on one surface of a porous film can also be used. When the opening 22 is sealed using the composite sheet, it is preferable to arrange the fiber layers so that they face the outer surface. The outer surface is the surface of the porous film that is bonded to the fiber layer and is referred to as the outer surface, and the surface opposite to the surface that is bonded to the fiber layer is referred to as the inner surface.

The outer surface of the porous film is preferably hydrophilic. Since the outer surface of the porous film is hydrophilic, for example, when the aromatic fluid comes into contact with the inner surface of the porous film, the aromatic fluid does not seep out through the fine pores of the porous film. In addition, the aromatic fluid can be diffused in the plane direction of the outer surface. Since the area of the aromatic fluid diffused in the plane direction increases in contact with air, the drying rate increases and the fiber layer can be kept in a dry state. Further, from the viewpoint of preventing the exudation of the aromatic fluid, the inner surface of the porous film is preferably hydrophobic.
As the porous film, the same one as that usually used as a moisture permeable sheet can be used without particular limitation. For example, a film obtained by uniaxially or biaxially stretching a molded sheet obtained from a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin and a filler such as calcium carbonate can be used.

The fiber layer is preferably hydrophobic from the viewpoint of diffusing the aromatic fluid in the plane direction on the outer surface of the porous film. From the same viewpoint, in addition to the hydrophobicity of the fiber layer, it is preferable that the ^{fiber layer has a basis weight of 20 g / m 2 or more.} Specifically, the basis weight of the fiber layer ^{is preferably 20} to 50 g / m 2, more preferably 25 to 50 g / m ² , and even more preferably 28 to 40 g / m ² .
As the fiber layer, fibers made from various synthetic fibers, recycled fibers such as rayon, natural fibers such as cotton and pulp, and the like can be used. When the fiber layer is made hydrophobic, it is preferable to use a fiber made from a hydrophobic synthetic fiber as a raw material. As the form of the fiber layer, a web, a non-woven fabric obtained by immobilizing the fiber improvement in the web, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or the like can be used without particular limitation.

The inner diameters of the first packing member 6a and the second packing member 6b may be the same or different.
