The present invention is a device (tool) for confirming the effectiveness of a deodorant, which has an extremely simple structure and is capable of performing demonstrations that allow the user to intuitively confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant through extremely simple work. It relates to a portable simple smell comparison box that can be used.

Conventionally, many products with a deodorizing function (including a deodorizing function) have been sold, and it is expected that many products of this type will be commercialized in the future. Thus, when many deodorants are available on the market, their deodorizing effects are superior or inferior. In particular, it is expected that further research and development will lead to the development of even better deodorants in the future. Therefore, in order to promote sales of deodorants, manufacturers or distributors consider it an extremely effective means of advertising to conduct demonstrations in which retailers or consumers directly experience the effects of deodorants. Become.

For this reason, deodorant developers, manufacturers, and distributors select foodstuffs as samples with strong (strong) odors in order to check the effectiveness of deodorants. If there is a device that supports intuitive judgment and confirmation of success by smelling the deodorant through the deodorant, it can become an extremely effective device for sales promotion through demonstrations. .

JP 2021-169937 A JP 2018-146573 A

As samples used to check the effectiveness of deodorants in sales promotion demonstrations, samples that are familiar and have a relatively strong (strong) odor are used. A variety of ingredients will be used. As a sample of such a strong odor of foodstuffs, those commonly known to everyone are suitable. Dried fish, boiled fish, and the like can be said to be suitable as such samples.

Therefore, in order to confirm the effectiveness of deodorants, a commonly known food sample is used as a sample, and it is intuitively determined whether or not the sample has a specific odor or whether the odor has weakened. It is preferable as a device for sales promotion demonstrations. In addition, such instruments (or tools) have a simple structure and are easy to carry. Alternatively, it is preferable that the effect of the deodorant can be intuitively determined and confirmed only by the sense of smell.

By the way, conventionally, there are various devices, instruments, tools, or systems for measuring the sense of smell or smell. First, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-146573), a detector, an analyzer, etc., a sniff pipe that guides a mixed gas of eluted sample components and humidified air to the nose of the measurer, a mixing block, an odor component transmitter, etc. A first deactivation treatment film and a second deactivation treatment film are provided on the surface of the mixing channel and the surface of the introduction hole in the mixing block, and the inner surface of the odorant component transmitter and the inner surface of the sniff pipe. and are arranged.

In addition, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-146573), an olfactory test device makes the air that has flowed into an inflow path by a compressor to have a constant flow velocity and flow rate by passing through a sonic nozzle, and the air is branched. Gases with odors of various strengths are generated by passing through an open valve among the inflow valves provided in the inflow path and flowing into any one of the sample containers, and the gas is discharged into the outflow path. is heated by a heater provided in the nozzle and released in the nose mask.

Both Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 seem to have sufficient ability to measure and analyze odors. However, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the entire apparatus becomes extremely large-scale in view of the contents thereof.

Moreover, the price of the device itself becomes extremely expensive. In addition, transportation to the location of the demonstration is also quite costly.

Furthermore, the problem is that the purpose of the demonstration is only to intuitively judge and confirm whether or not the strong (strong) smell of the food as an absorbent material has disappeared. Such demonstrations do not require large-scale equipment that is extremely expensive and chemically analyzes odors. It cannot be confirmed. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device (tool) for demonstrations that can intuitively determine and confirm the presence or absence of odors by simply sniffing the effect of a deodorant. to do.

The closing guide 24 is in the shape of a square shaft (bar), and is provided near both short sides when the lid main plate 21 of the lid portion 2 is rectangular. Further, the lid portion 2 is attached to the box portion 1 so that the first tubular connection portion 22 and the second tubular connection portion 23 are positioned on the upper side surface of the lid main plate 21 when used in a demonstration. It is put on and installed [see FIGS. 1(A), 2, 3, 5, etc.].

When the portable simple smell comparison box of the present invention is not in use, such as after the end of a demonstration, the first cylindrical connection part 22 and the second cylindrical connection part 23 are directed toward the box body 1 side. 7(A) and (C)]. Therefore, the closing guides 24 are provided on both the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the lid main plate 21 (see FIGS. 2, 3, etc.). Also, the closing guide 24 may not be provided on the lid portion 2, and the closing guide 24 may be provided on the box portion 1 side (see FIG. 8(B)).

Next, the use of the portable simple smell comparison box of the present invention to demonstrate a deodorant targeted for sales promotion will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. In the demonstration, we asked the general public to intuitively judge and confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant. First, two base materials 8p, which are the sources of the absorbent material 81 and the non-absorbent material 82, are prepared, and the user confirms that the two base materials 8p are odorless [(I in FIG. 4A). ), see (II)].

Here, the base material 8p is cloth, nonwoven fabric, tissue paper, metal nonwoven fabric, etc., as described above. Next, on one of the base materials 8p, a deodorant to be demonstrated is sprayed with a spray can (bottle) 8s or the like to prepare an absorbent material 81 [Fig. 4(B) ( I)]. On the other hand, the other base material 8p is not sprayed with the deodorant and is left unprocessed to become the non-absorbent material 82 [see (II) in FIG. 4(B)].

When the deodorant is contained in a spray can (bottle) 8s, the deodorant can be uniformly and efficiently sprayed onto the base material 8p. Next, the absorbent material 81 obtained by spraying the deodorant on the base material 8p with a spray can (bottle) 8s is stored in the first pipe 4 [see (I) of FIG. 4(C)], and the non-absorbent material 82 It is housed in the second pipe 5 [see (II) in FIG. 4(C)].

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first pipe 4 contains the absorbent 81 sprayed with the deodorant targeted for sales promotion, and the second pipe 5 is not sprayed with the deodorant. Description will be made assuming that the non-absorbent material 82 is accommodated. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, the first tube 4 (including the first exhaust port 21a of the lid portion 2 and the first cylindrical connection portion 22) is used as the deodorizing side to eliminate the odor of the sample 6p, and the second tube 5 (lid The second exhaust port 21b of the body part 2 and the second cylindrical connection part 23) is the odorous side that directly conveys the odor of the sample 6p. The deodorant side and the odorous side are described in the main figures. In order to simplify the setting work, the second pipe 5 on the odorous side may be left empty without containing the non-absorbent material 82 (see FIG. 6(A)).

Next, a sample 6p that generates an odor is placed in the sample case 6. As shown in FIG. Sample 6p is preferably a food material with a strong (strong) odor. is preferred. Then, the sample case 6 is accommodated in the box body part 1, then the opening of the box body part 1 is covered with the lid body part 2, and the opening of the box body part 1 is closed by the lid main plate 21 of the lid body part 2. . At this time, the first cylindrical connecting portion 22 and the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 of the lid portion 2 are set upward (see FIGS. 1(A), 2, and 3). That is, the lid portion 2 is closed to the box portion 1 so that the first cylindrical connection portion 22 and the second cylindrical connection portion 23 are exposed to the outside.

Next, the axial lower end of the first pipe 4 containing the absorbent material 81 is inserted into the first cylindrical connecting portion 22 of the lid portion 2, and vertically erected on the lid portion 2, The axially lower end portion of the second pipe 5 containing the non-absorbent material 82 is inserted into the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 to vertically stand on the lid portion 2 (see FIG. 2). Next, the fan 3 is started to introduce air from the outside of the box body portion 1 into the inside of the box body portion 1 through the air circulation hole 1a. 2 to the exhaust port 21b (see FIG. 3).

At this time, the smell of the sample 6p in the sample case 6 is sent to the first pipe 4 through the first exhaust port 21a by the air. Then, the smell of the sample 6p sent to the first tube 4 is deodorized by the absorbent 81 (see FIG. 3(B)). The experiencer can experience to bring his nose close to the upper end opening of the first tube 4 and smell it, and intuitively confirm that there is no smell [see FIG. 5(B)]. In this way, the user can intuitively confirm that the sample 6p is deodorized by the absorbent material 81 housed in the first tube 4 (see FIG. 5A). ].

At the same time, due to the air flow by the fan 3, the odor of the sample 6p in the sample case 6 is also sent to the second pipe 5 through the second exhaust port 21b (see FIG. 5). The odor sent to the second tube 5 is not deodorized by the absorbent material 81 containing no deodorant, and the odor of the sample 6p is emitted from the upper end opening of the second tube 5 as it is. The smell of the sample 6p can be confirmed by bringing the nose close to the upper end opening of the second tube 5 on the odorous side and sniffing the smell [see FIG. 5(B)].

In this way, by using the portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention for a demonstration, the user can confirm the effectiveness of the deodorant targeted for sales promotion. In the demonstration, the experimenter first confirmed the deodorization of the sample 6p in the first tube 4 on the deodorizing side, and then later confirmed the odor of the sample 6p in the second tube 5 on the odorous side. However, the order is not limited to this order, and the smell of the second pipe 5 on the odor-bearing side may be confirmed first, and then the deodorization of the first pipe 4 on the deodorant side may be confirmed.

Next, a cap member 7 may be provided to close the upper opening of either the first tube 4 or the second tube 5 in the upright state (see FIGS. 6(B) and 6(C)). The cap material 7 is arranged so as to cover the opening at the upper end of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5 . The cap material 7 prevents the odor of the sample 6p from leaking out from the odorous side of the second tube 5 containing the non-absorbent material 82 by closing the upper end opening of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5. Therefore, a material that is in close contact with the vicinity of the opening of the first tube 4 or the second tube 5 is preferable, and specifically, a rubber material is preferable.

Only one cap member 7 may be provided for one portable simple smell comparison box. The cap material 7 is used for checking the effect of deodorizing the odor from the first tube 4 on the deodorant side containing the absorbent 81 by using a portable simple smell comparison box. This prevents the odor of the sample 6p from leaking from the upper end opening, and makes it easier to confirm and judge the deodorizing effect of the first tube 4 on the deodorizing side (see FIG. 6(B)). Even if the cap material 7 is not provided, even if the experiencer sniffs the upper end opening of the first pipe 4 on the deodorant side and closes the upper end opening of the second pipe 5 on the odorous side with his/her hand, Leakage of the smell of the sample 6p from the second tube 5 can be easily prevented.

The portable simple odor comparison box of the present invention is put into a storage state when the use is finished, such as when the demonstration is finished, or when the box is unused. First, the first tube 4 and the second tube 5 are removed from the first cylindrical connection portion 22 and the second cylindrical connection portion 23 of the lid portion 2, respectively. Next, the first tube 4 and the second tube 5 are housed in the box portion 1 as they are [see FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B)]. At this time, the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 5 are accommodated along the side portion 12 along the long side of the box portion 1 in the longitudinal direction (also referred to as the axial direction). Next, with respect to the box body part 1, the first cylindrical connection part 22 and the second cylindrical connection part 23 of the cover body part 2 are directed toward the box body part 1, and the lid body part 2 is attached to the box body part. 1 and close the opening.

At this time, the housing is completed such that the first cylindrical connecting portion 22 and the second cylindrical connecting portion 23 enter between the first tube 4 and the second tube 5 stored in the box portion 1 adjacent to each other. [See FIGS. 7(B) and (C)]. In addition, in addition to the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 5, by making the side part 12 on the long side of the box body part 1 and the lid body part 2 longer and making the internal space larger, Also, the sample case 6 can be accommodated (see FIG. 8(A)).
