〔Example〕

 Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a container according to the present invention, which is made of a waterproof material, and which has an opening at the top to form an opening. It is provided on the inner side along the inner side of the outer container 1, and similarly to the outer container 1, the upper part is opened to form an opening, and the opening edge is widened, and is made of a waterproof material. An inner container 2 is provided.

The outer container is made of, for example, a waterproof material such as hydrophobic plastic, glass or metal, and the inner container is made of, for example, Japanese paper, non-woven fabric, water absorbent polymer, fiber, foam, metal mesh, or sintered. It is made of a water-absorbent material such as the body and electrostatic flocking.

A disk-shaped volatilization body 3 is provided in the upper openings of the outer container 1 and the inner container 2 in a state where the lower surface of the peripheral edge is in contact with the upper edge of the inner container 2, and A chemical substance 4 such as an aromatic liquid, a deodorant liquid, a disinfectant liquid, an insecticide, and a repellent liquid, which is a liquid substance or a viscous substance to be volatilized, is stored inside.

Therefore, the medicine stored in the container rises along the inner container made of the water-absorbent material provided inside the container and reaches the opening.

Then, the drug that has reached the opening of the inner container spreads to the volatilizer located there, and is adapted to volatilize in contact with the air, and after volatilizing, the drug effect is exerted to the outside. Has become.

A second embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, and in this embodiment, the outer side 6 of the container is made of a waterproof material and the inner side 7 is Each of them is made of a water-absorbent material, and the upper part of the cylindrical part has a thin shape to form a hollow shape.

In addition, the support member 9 of the volatilization body 11 disposed on the upper portion of the tubular portion has a tubular portion 9a provided with a threaded portion 10 which is screwed with the threaded portion 8 of the tubular portion on the inner peripheral surface. The cylindrical portion 9a is composed of a support portion 9b that extends outward from the upper end and supports the volatilization body 11.

Further, a hanging piece 11a which is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion of the container is integrally provided on the lower surface of the central portion of the volatilization body 11 located on the upper surface of the support portion 9b of the support member 9 of the volatilization body 11. ing.

Even in the case of the above-mentioned structure, when the medicine 12 stored inside is sucked up by the water-absorbing material forming the inside 7 of the container and reaches the cylindrical portion, the medicine is stored in the cylindrical portion. Since the hanging piece 11a of the volatilization body 11 is in contact, the drug sucked upward is guided to the volatilization body 11 through the hanging piece 11a and comes into contact with air in a wide area, which has a medicinal effect. It will be demonstrated.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the entire inner peripheral surface of the container is made of the water-absorbing material is shown, but the entire inner peripheral surface may be a part or may be a part.

FIG. 4 shows a container which is a third embodiment in which a part of the inner peripheral surface is made of a water absorbent material. The container shown in this embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. Similarly, while being made of a waterproof material, inside the container 15 in which the upper part is opened and the opening is formed, while forming a strip shape,
By providing a water-absorbing member 16 extending in the vertical direction, that is, by configuring a part of the vertical direction of the inner peripheral surface of the container in a water-absorbing material, it is possible to achieve the same effect as each of the above embodiments. is there.

That is, the lower part of the strip-shaped water-absorbing member 16 extending in the vertical direction is immersed in the medicine, so that the medicine is sucked up and reaches the upper opening of the container, and the volatilizer 17 is in contact with this portion. Therefore, the sucked drug is guided to the volatilizer and comes into contact with air in a large area, so that the drug effect is exerted.

Next, a means for manufacturing the container will be described.

First, since the outer side of the container is configured to have waterproofness, when a container having waterproofness and a container having water absorption are separately molded and combined, or a waterproof material having waterproofness is used. , A multilayer sheet composed of at least two layers of a water-absorbing material having water-absorbing property is formed into a predetermined shape by placing the water-absorbing material inside by vacuum, compressed air, press or the like, or insert or in-mold molding Thus, the water-absorbent material can be integrally formed on the inside by injection molding.

Furthermore, depending on the shape of the container, it can be formed by multi-layer blow molding, multi-layer molding by extrusion tube, dip molding by double dipping method, slash rotation molding, etc. Flocked,
A container may be formed with this flocked surface as the inner surface. Furthermore, if the container is made of a porous material such as unglazed, and the outer surface of the container is coated with sandpaper to make it waterproof. May be used, and various manufacturing means are conceivable.

In each of the above examples, the volatile material for enlarging the contact area with air is shown on the upper surface of the container, but the invention is not limited to this, and the volatile material is volatilized only from the edge of the opening. Alternatively, the area of the edge may be increased.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the upper portion is opened, and at least a part of the inner peripheral surface is water-absorbing, and the water-absorbing portion reaches the opening edge portion of the upper portion. In the past, it was necessary to provide a member for sucking up the drug stored inside the container separately from the container, but without using such a member, the drug solution stored inside the container is sucked up to the air. Since the container itself can be brought into contact with the container, there is no restriction on the design of the container itself, and the container can be formed into a desired shape. Moreover, since there is no restriction on the design, the cost of the entire container can be reduced. It has an excellent effect.
