Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a container for storing fragrances, etc., which is provided so that the fragrance outlet opens and closes automatically according to temperature changes.

``Prior art'' As this type of container, for example,
The invention disclosed in Publication No. 2 is known. The container has an inner end of a spiral bimetal fixed to the upper end of a support rod rising from the center of the bottom wall of the container body, and an inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lid body with the outer end of the bimetal fitted into the container main body. and a first and a second ventilation hole are formed in the peripheral wall of the container body and the peripheral wall of the lid body, respectively.
The lid body is rotated with respect to the container body due to the expansion and contraction of the spiral bimetal due to temperature changes, and the release amount of the fragrance stored in the container body is controlled by the change in the communication portion of the first and second ventilation holes caused by the rotation. It increases and decreases.

"Problem to be solved by the invention" The above conventional container has the inner end of the spiral bimetal attached to the upper end of the support rod rising from the center of the bottom wall of the container body, and the outer end of the bimetal attached to the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lid body. Since each is fixed, it is necessary to forcibly deform the bimetal when replenishing the fragrance into the container body, which can easily damage the bimetal.Also, since the lid is rotated by expanding and contracting the spiral bimetal, There were drawbacks such as difficulty in appropriately determining the amount of rotation of the lid.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and allows the lid to be attached to and removed from the container body, making it easy to replenish aromatics, etc., as well as ensuring that the opening in the peripheral wall of the lid can be opened and closed by deforming the bimetal formed in the form of a strip. It is designed so that

"Means for Solving the Problems" A container body 1 in which a short cylindrical first peripheral wall 3 stands up from the outer periphery of a bottom wall 2, and a lower part of a second peripheral wall 7 hanging from the outer periphery of a top wall 8 on the outer surface of the first peripheral wall 3. are removably fitted together, and a large diameter window hole 9 is bored in the top wall thereof,
Furthermore, the lid body 6 is fixed by spanning a support rod 10 on the diameter line of the window hole, and engagement recesses 16, 16 provided on the lower edge of the outer peripheral wall are rotatable on both ends of the support rod. A hemispherical swinging lid 15 that fits together and closes the window hole 9 by bringing the outer peripheral wall surface of the lower end of the outer peripheral wall into almost contact with the inner peripheral surface of the window hole 9, and the intermediate portion of the support rod 10. A bimetal plate 20 has one end fixed to the supporting rod, a strip plate protrudes at a right angle to the support rod, and the other end of the strip plate fixed to the lower end of the swinging lid 15. Due to the shape change, the swinging lid 15 swings about the support rod 10 relative to the lid 6, so that a part of the window hole can be opened and closed.

"Function" When the temperature changes from the state shown in FIG.
vaporization stops or decreases. Due to a temperature change from the window hole closed state, the bimetal 20 returns to the illustrated state and opens a portion of the window hole.

"Embodiment" 1 is a container body in which a short cylindrical first peripheral wall 3 stands up from the periphery of a bottom wall 2, and a thread is provided around the upper outer surface of the container body. A fragrance 4 is housed inside the container.

A second peripheral wall 7 of a lid 6 is screwed onto the container body, and a large diameter window hole 9 is bored in a top wall 8 that hangs down from the second peripheral wall 7. Further, a support rod 10 is stretched and fixed on the diameter line of the window hole. Both ends of the support rod may be fixed to bearings 11, 11 fixed to the back surface of the top wall.

The window hole 9 is closed by a swinging lid 15. The swinging lid has a hemispherical shape having an outer diameter that is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the window hole 9, and engagement recesses 16, 16 are provided on the diameter line of the lower edge of the outer periphery, and the engagement recesses are provided with the above-mentioned support. It is fitted onto the upper surface of both ends of the rod. In the fitted state, the outer circumferential wall surface at the lower end of the outer circumferential wall is provided so as to be almost in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the window hole 9.

One end of a bimetal 20 formed in the shape of a strip is fixed to the middle part of the support rod 10, and the other end of the bimetal is fixed to the lower edge of the swinging lid 15. Both ends of the bimetal are bent respectively, and the support rod 10
Then, it may be fitted into an insertion groove provided in the swinging lid 15. The bimetal is provided so as to be approximately perpendicular to the support rod 10, and at room temperature, when the swinging lid 15 tilts around the support rod 10 as shown in the figure, a portion of the window hole opens, and also due to temperature changes. The bimetal is then deformed, and the swinging lid 15 is provided to close the window hole 9 as shown by the two-dot chain line.

A double-sided tape 25 is attached to the lower surface of the bottom wall 2 of the container described above for attaching the container to a table or the like.

"Effect of the invention" The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, in which the second peripheral wall 7 of the lid body 6 is removably fitted to the first peripheral wall 3 of the container body, and a hole is formed in the top wall 8 of the lid body. Since the swinging lid 15 that opens and closes the window hole 9 is integrally connected to the lid body through the support rod 10 and the bimetal 20,
It is easy to replenish the fragrance by removing the lid etc. from the container body 1, and the window hole 9 serves as a fragrance release port.
Since the hole is formed in the top wall of the lid body, it is possible to reliably release the vaporized fragrance.A support rod 10 is stretched and fixed on the diameter line of the window hole, and a rocking rod is placed on both ends of the support rod 10. Since the swinging lid 15 is supported by fitting the engagement recess provided on the lower edge of the outer circumferential wall of the lid, one end of the bimetal 20 is connected to the support rod 10.
In addition, since the other end of the bimetal 20 is provided and fixed to the lower end of the swinging lid so that the bimetal 20 is substantially perpendicular to the support rod, most of the weight of the swinging lid 15 is supported by the support rod. Therefore, the swinging lid can be reliably and easily swung by the deformation of the bimetal due to temperature changes. Furthermore, since the swinging lid has a hemispherical shape, the outer shape of the container can be made into a special shape, thereby stimulating the consumer's desire to purchase.
