[Summary of the idea]

The present invention provides a deodorizer storage container for storing a deodorizer, which includes an opening formed in a storage body in which the deodorizer is stored, and a lid that closes the opening.
This lid has a deodorizing port for air inflow and outflow formed on the periphery of the lid, and a flat top plate with a protrusion projecting from the periphery of the lid formed on the outer periphery of the upper end surface. Even if foreign matter such as water spills from the top of the lid, the foreign matter will not flow into the deodorizing port, and objects can be placed stably on the top of the lid, and the object will be removed without taking up space inside the refrigerator. It is designed to be placed inside the refrigerator.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A deodorizing container containing a deodorizing agent has been used to decompose and deodorize malodorous gas emitted from various items stored in the refrigerator. Conventionally, such a deodorizing agent storage container has been often used, which is composed of a storage body for storing the deodorizing agent and a lid body, and a deodorizing port is provided on the top surface of the lid body. For example, as this conventional deodorant storage container, there are those shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.

The conventional deodorizing agent storage container shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 consists of a cylindrical container 1 for storing the deodorizing agent, and a lid 3 having a deodorizing port 2 on the top surface. The storage body 1 and the lid body 3 are formed by screwing together. A deodorizing effect is produced by taking in malodorous gas from the deodorizing port 2 and dispersing the malodorous gas using the deodorizing agent stored in the container 1.

In addition, there is also a type of deodorizer storage container that has a hook attached to it and is used by being hung on a net shelf in a refrigerator.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the deodorizing agent storage container formed as described above, there is nothing to protect the deodorizing port formed on the top surface of the lid, so foreign substances such as powder and water stored in the refrigerator can If a spill occurs on the upper part of the body, foreign substances such as powder and water will flow through the deodorizing port and enter the storage body. Therefore, a problem may arise in that the deodorizing agent in the storage body is buried in powder or the effectiveness of the deodorizing agent is impaired by water or the like, so that the deodorizing effect of the deodorizing agent is not effectively exerted.

Furthermore, a deodorizer storage container that is used by being hung on a mesh shelf in a refrigerator takes up a large space within the refrigerator, making it impossible to store a large number of items therein. Furthermore, since the deodorizer storage container is simply hung on a net shelf, it becomes a hindrance when taking out and putting things in the refrigerator. In addition, the container may come into contact with the container when being put in or taken out, and there is a risk that the hook may come off and fall. For this reason, the deodorizing agent storage container cannot be stably installed in the refrigerator.

Therefore, the present invention was proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation, and even if foreign matter spills from the top of the lid, the foreign matter will not flow into the deodorizing port, and furthermore, the object will be kept stable on the top of the lid. It is an object of the present invention to provide a deodorizer storage container that can be placed in a refrigerator without occupying space inside the refrigerator.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above conventional problems and achieve the above object, the present invention includes an opening formed in a storage body in which a deodorizer is stored, and a lid body that closes this opening. This lid has a deodorizing port formed on the circumferential surface of the lid, and a flat top plate having a protrusion projecting from the circumferential surface of the lid formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end surface.

[Effect]

The deodorizing agent storage container according to the present invention has a lid formed with a deodorizing port, so as to protect the deodorizing port.
Since the top plate is provided with a protruding part that protrudes from the circumferential surface of the lid, even if foreign matter such as water spills on the upper part of the lid, the foreign matter will not flow into the storage body through the deodorizing port and the deodorization will be completed. The good deodorizing effect of the agent can be obtained. Moreover, since the lid body is formed on a flat top plate, even if an object is placed on the top plate, the object can be stably placed without blocking the deodorizing port.

The storage portion 8 has four sides 9 symmetrical about a cylindrical center, and is formed into a cylindrical shape that is slightly larger than the opening 4. These four sides 9 are brought into contact with the walls inside the refrigerator without occupying a large space inside the refrigerator. Further, a recess 10 approximately the same circle as the opening 4 is formed on the bottom surface on the opposite side to the opening 4. This recess 10 is for stably placing the storage part 8 without being received by the entire bottom surface of the storage body 5. In addition,
The shape of the storage body 5 is not limited to this embodiment, and may be a polyhedron as long as it can come into contact with the wall inside the refrigerator without occupying space inside the refrigerator.

Next, the lid 6 that closes the opening 4 formed in the storage body 5 is composed of a cylindrical portion 11 and a top plate 12. The cylindrical portion 11 has several deodorizing ports 14 formed on the circumferential surface 13 of the lid, and the opening 4
A female threaded portion 15 is formed on the inner surface of the lid on the side where the lid is closed, and is screwed into the male threaded portion 7 formed on the storage body 5. This deodorizing port 14 is for taking in malodorous gas emitted from various items stored in the refrigerator. The top plate 12 is integrally formed and attached to the outer peripheral surface of the upper end side of the cylindrical portion 11. This top plate 12 includes the cylindrical portion 1
It is formed to have a larger diameter than the outer circumference of 1, and has a flat disk shape. And furthermore, this top plate 1
2 is formed with a protrusion 16 that protrudes from the lid circumferential surface 13. A drooping portion 17 is formed at the tip of the protrusion 16 and is drooped downward over the entire outer periphery. The protruding portion 16 and the hanging portion 1
7 is a deodorizing port 14 formed on the circumferential surface 13 of the lid body;
It is intended to protect.

In the deodorizer storage container consisting of the storage body 5 and the lid body 6 formed as described above, first, a polymer containing, for example, amino acids as a main component is poured into the storage part 8 of the storage body 5 from the opening 4. After the gel-like liquid deodorizer is stored, the female threaded part 15 of the lid 6 is screwed into the male threaded part 7 formed on the outer ring near the opening 4, and the odor gas inside the refrigerator is removed. is introduced through the deodorizing port 14 and decomposed by the deodorizing agent, thereby producing a deodorizing effect.

In addition, the male threaded part 7 and the female threaded part 15 of the deodorant storage container according to the present invention described above may be formed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, the thread height of the male threaded portion 7 formed on the outer ring near the opening 4 of the storage body 5 is set higher than the thread height of the female threaded portion 15 formed on the lid body 6.

By setting the thread height of the male threaded portion 7 higher than the thread height of the female threaded portion 15 to be engaged in this way, the male threaded portion 7 of the storage body 5 can be covered with a lid, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. When the female threaded portion 15 of the body 6 is fully screwed together, approximately the lower half of the deodorizing port 14 formed in the lid 6 is closed by the male threaded portion 7, and the opening of the deodorizing port 14 is closed. Make it about half the size. When the opening of the deodorizing port 14 is reduced in this manner, the amount of the deodorizing agent stored in the storage portion 8 evaporates and emanates from the deodorizing port 14 is reduced. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, by adjusting the amount by which the lid body 6 is tightened, the opening amount of the deodorizing port 14 can be adjusted. Therefore, by adjusting the opening amount of the deodorizing port 14, the amount of the deodorizing agent stored in the storage section 8 released can be adjusted, and the deodorizing effect can be adjusted.
The screw height of the male threaded portion 7 is such that when the lid 6 is fully screwed onto the male threaded portion 7, the deodorizing port 1
4 may be the full height.

According to the deodorizer storage container formed as described above, even if water or the like spills on the upper part of the lid 6, the top plate 12 is formed so as to protect the deodorizing port 14, so that the hanging part 17 is not exposed to water. Water and the like flow, but no water or the like flows into the deodorizing port 14. Therefore, the effect of the deodorizing agent is not impaired by water or the like, so that the good deodorizing effect of the deodorizing agent can be obtained.

Further, in this embodiment, the storage body 5 has four sides 9 formed in point symmetry with respect to the center of the cylinder, so that it can be placed in a corner of the refrigerator.

Furthermore, since the top plate 12 of the lid 6 is formed into a flat disk shape, stored items can be stably placed on the top surface of the lid 6 as well. Furthermore, the deodorizer storage container can be placed on a bottle hanger provided on the door of the refrigerator, and bottles such as beer bottles can be placed on the top surface of the lid 6. therefore,
The deodorizer storage container can be placed in the refrigerator without occupying space inside the refrigerator. Note that even if something is placed on the top surface of the top plate 12, the deodorizing port 14 will not be blocked, so the deodorizing effect will not be lost.

Furthermore, since the recess 10 is formed on the bottom surface of the storage body 5, a stable placement state can be maintained in the refrigerator without being received by the entire bottom surface.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the container is used as a deodorizer storage container that is placed inside a refrigerator and decomposes malodorous gases to turn them into bad odors. It can also be used to deodorize bad odors in rooms and cars. Furthermore, an aromatic agent may be stored in the storage body 5 and used as an aromatic agent storage container.

Next, the deodorizer storage container described above is formed by screwing together the storage body and the lid, but for example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is formed by covering the storage body 18 with a lid 19. You may.

2 is formed in such a size that when the lid body 19 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the storage body 18, the storage body 18 is almost completely hidden.

The deodorizer storage container consisting of the storage body 18 and the lid body 19 formed as described above has the cylindrical portion 2 of the lid body 19.
2 to the outer circumferential surface of the storage body 18 and enveloping the storage body 18, the deodorizer storage container can be easily formed without tightening screws or the like.

Further, the deodorizer storage container according to the present invention has a protrusion on the top plate to prevent water from entering the deodorizing port. It may be formed as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.

That is, the shape of the lid 27 that closes the storage body 26 that stores the deodorizer is formed as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The lid body 27 has a cylindrical shape and has several deodorizing ports 28 formed on its outer peripheral surface. This deodorizing port 28 is formed with an inclined portion 30 so as to be inclined toward the inside of the lid 27 and toward the top plate 29. However, this inclined portion 30 does not completely block the deodorizing port 28. in this way,
Since the deodorizing port 28 is formed with a sloped part 30, even if water or the like spills on the upper part of the lid 27, the water or the like spills onto this slope 30 and flows along the slope of the slope 30 to the lid 27. flows outside. Therefore, water or the like does not flow into the deodorizing port 28.

In addition, there are other ways to prevent water from entering the deodorizing port, such as those shown in Figure 9 and Figure 9.
It may be as shown in 10.

The deodorizing agent storage container shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.
