[0003]

However, the aroma diffuser that absorbs and evaporates the perfume also absorbs the retention agent contained in the perfume and the surfactant that solubilizes the perfume in the solution of water and alcohol. . Since these holding agents and surfactants are non-volatile components or hardly volatile components, they are hardly volatilized and are deposited on the aroma diffuser to form a highly sticky film.

For this reason, as shown by the solid line in the table of FIG. 6, the aroma emitting ability is attenuated as the amount of emission from the aroma emitting body is increased. As a result, there is a problem that the amount of fragrance released into the air gradually decreases with the passage of time, and when the fragrance releasing ability is lost, the liquid fragrance remaining in the container cannot be used up.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. An object of the invention is to provide an aroma diffuser capable of restoring the aroma diffuser ability when the aroma diffuser ability is reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a glass-made container 2 is filled with a liquid flavor 1 composed of flavor, alcohol, water and a surfactant. Container 2
The center of the bottom portion 2a of the container is raised in a mountain shape, and a complicated pattern is put on the lower surface of the container to make the appearance of the container itself beautiful.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an inverted cup-shaped support member 3 made of synthetic resin is fitted in the opening 2b of the container 2 in close contact with the inner circumference of the opening 2b. A flange portion 4 is formed on the peripheral edge of the upper end of the support body 3, and the opening portion 2
It is placed on the upper edge of b.

The bottom 3a of the support 3 is formed in a spherical shape. A plurality of plate-shaped projections 5 are formed on the inner bottom of the support body 3. Further, a suction tube 6 is provided at the center of the bottom portion 3a of the support body 3, and a hole 6a is penetrated inside thereof.

In this embodiment, a short cylindrical non-woven fiber fragrance spreader 7 is used to absorb and evaporate the fragrance, and is removably housed in the support 3. A wick 8 is inserted into the central portion of the lower end surface of the aroma diffuser 7 through a hole 6a at a sharp portion at its tip. To attach the fragrance diffuser 7 and the suction core 8, first, the suction core 8 inserted into the lower end surface of the fragrance diffuser 7 is inserted into the hole 6 a of the suction cylinder 6.

Then, the aroma diffuser 7 is placed on the protrusion 5 so as to float in the air. At this time, since the outer peripheral portion of the aroma diffuser 7 is slightly smaller than the inside of the support body 3, the aroma diffuser 7
Almost the entire outer peripheral surface is exposed to the air. Aroma diffuser 7
Since the scent comes into contact with the atmosphere over almost the entire area, the fragrance spreading area is increased and the fragrance spreading capability of the fragrance spreading body 7 is improved. Usually, the support 3 facilitates replacement of the aroma diffuser 7 and the aroma diffuser 7 because the ability of the aroma diffuser to diffuse the aroma into the air is proportional to the size of the interface between the aroma diffuser and the air. It maximizes the ability to spread the aroma of. Since the upper end of the wicking cylinder 6 is slightly lower than the lower end surface of the fragrance diffuser 7, it does not interfere with the fragrance diffuser 7. When the aroma diffuser 7 is set at a predetermined position, the upper third of the aroma diffuser 7 is the support 3
Exposed from.

As shown in FIG. 5, the suction core 8 is a synthetic resin rod material having an approximately outer cross-section and an approximately outer wall in order to reduce clogging. As described above, one end of the wick 8 is inserted into the aroma diffuser 7, and the other end of the wick 8 is placed at the lowest part of the container 2 along the bottom 2a of the container 2 having the mountain shape. . Then, the suction core 8 sucks the liquid flavor 1 into the aroma diffuser 7 by a capillary phenomenon, and the aroma diffuser 7 sequentially evaporates to diffuse the aroma.

As shown in FIG. 1, the inner lid 10 is placed so as to cover the aroma diffuser 7 when the stationary aroma device of this embodiment is not used. Then, the outer lid 11 is screwed through a screw 12 formed on the outer periphery of the opening 2b of the container 2. As a result, the inner lid 10 comes into contact with the inner surface of the outer lid 11, and the outer lid 11 is screwed into the inner lid 10 so that the inner lid 10 comes into pressure contact with the flange portion 4 of the support body 3 and seals the container 2. It is possible to prevent the diffusion of the fragrance during use.

As shown in FIG. 2, when using the stationary type aroma dispenser of this embodiment, after removing the outer lid 11,
The inner lid 10 is removed, and the outer lid 11 is screwed again. As a result, the fragrance that evaporates from the aroma diffuser 7 is the outer lid 1.
1 is diffused to the outside air through a plurality of through holes 11a formed in the upper end portion of the No. 1.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, as the fragrance spreading state elapses, the fragrance spreading ability of the fragrance spreading body 7 decreases. Therefore, in this embodiment, a plurality of preliminary aroma diffusers 13 are prepared as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the aroma diffuser 7 can be restored to the aroma diffuser ability by replacing the aroma diffuser 7 with the preliminary aroma diffuser 13 in accordance with the period H of sharp decline in the aroma diffuser ability. Moreover, by replacing the aroma diffuser 7, the normal aroma diffuser ability can be maintained until the liquid flavor 1 is used up.

Moreover, since no openings other than the holes 6a are formed in the bottom portion 3a of the support body 3, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering the liquid flavor 1. In the replacement work of the aroma diffuser 7, first, the outer lid 11 is removed, and then the aroma diffuser 7 exposed from the support 3 is pinched and lifted. At this time, since the upper part of the aroma diffuser 7 is exposed from the support body 3, the removal thereof is easy. Here, since the wick 8 is inserted into the aroma diffuser 7, the wick 8 is also lifted. Then, the wick 8 is removed from the aroma diffuser 7,
After the suction core 8 is again inserted into the preliminary aroma diffuser 13, the suction core 8 is inserted into the hole 6a of the suction cylinder 6 and the preliminary aroma diffuser 13 is fitted into the support body 3. Since the wicking core 8 is made of synthetic resin and is relatively rigid, the wicking core 8 is supported by the wicking cylinder 6 even if the wicking core 8 is detached from the aroma diffuser 7, and the wicking core 8 is a liquid fragrance. It never falls into 1. Furthermore, by separating the aroma diffuser 7 from the wicking core 8,
The cost can be reduced because only the aroma diffuser 7 needs to be replaced.

The box of the container 2 is constructed as follows. As shown in FIG. 7, the container 2 is first placed on the container insertion portion 21 formed in a concave shape on the transparent partition plate 20 made of vinyl chloride.
