2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 illustrates an exploded perspective view of a conventional fragrance in a container. 21 is a bottle-shaped fragrance container, 22
Is a cylindrical core holder that fits the outer diameter part to the inner diameter part of the neck of the container, fits and holds a suction core described below in the inner diameter part, and holds the lower part. 24 is a ring-shaped screw cap that is screwed into a screw on the outer diameter of the neck of the container 21 to hold down the plug 24, etc. Usually, a fragrance in a container is composed of these elements.

The liquid fragrance filled in the fragrance container 21 is sucked up by the suction wick 23 as described above, and the fragrance evaporates into the air. In this case, the suction wick 23
It is necessary to provide an air vent space or a hole between the core presser 22 and the core presser 22. For example, a groove (not shown) is provided on the inner surface of the tubular portion of the core presser 22. As a result, the liquid fragrance is smoothly sucked up by the suction wick 23 so that the fragrance can evaporate into the air. In general, such a liquid fragrance in a container is disposable when the content of the liquid is reduced or lost due to evaporation, or when the fragrance disappears.

[0004]

The disposable use of such a liquid fragrance in a container is not preferable from the viewpoint of resource saving, and it is conceivable to replace only the fragrance liquid. The wick is
Clogging is caused by impurities and the like, and the suction efficiency is reduced. Therefore, no reusable wick should be reused as a refillable liquid fragrance. It is also conceivable to attach a replacement wick for replacement, but there are many types of products, and this is not enough to take into account the diameter of the container, the diameter of the inner plug, and the length. The present invention eliminates such inconvenience, enables repeated use of the container, and does not reduce the efficiency of sucking up the fragrance.
A wick for liquid fragrance is proposed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a suction wick for sucking up a liquid fragrance in a bottle-shaped container is formed by winding a sheet-shaped material into a cylindrical shape and forming a neck portion of the container. Alternatively, the diameter can be adapted to the inner diameter of the core retainer to be fitted to the neck opening, and it is inserted and dropped into the opening at the tip of the neck of the container or the core retainer fitted to the portion. You.

Further, according to the present invention, the above-mentioned problem is solved by that the sheet-shaped sucking core material is a sheet formed in a wavy shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A suction wick for a liquid fragrance in a container according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a liquid fragrance in a container that does not use a core holder, 1 is a bottle-shaped container, and a screw is formed on the outer periphery of a cylindrical neck portion 1a. Reference numeral 3 denotes a suction core, which is formed by cutting a sheet-shaped material having an appropriate thickness into a round shape and inserting it into the opening 1b of the neck 1a of the container 1. The length of the suction core 3 is such that it reaches the bottom of the container 1, and the wound thickness is formed according to the diameter of the opening 1b.

4 is an inner stopper for preventing evaporation before use.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a ring-shaped screw cap that is screwed into the screw of the neck portion 1a of the container 1 to hold the inner plug 4 and the like.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view, but it is actually assembled in the above-described relationship. Before use, the upper end of the suction core 3 is covered with the inner plug 4. The screw cap 5 is screwed into a screw on the outer periphery of the neck portion 1a of the container 1 so as to press the screw cap. When used, the screw cap 5 is once removed, the plug 4 is removed during the removal, and the screw cap 5 is screwed again. At this time, when the suction core 3 is slightly pulled out, the fragrance is effectively evaporated.

When the liquid fragrance in the container 1 is used up, the fragrance for refilling is supplied, the old suction core 3 is removed and discarded, and the attached sheet is rolled up in a new shape and the new suction is performed. Core 3 By doing so, the liquid can always be efficiently evaporated.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a state in which the suction wick 3 wound in a round shape is inserted into the opening 1b of the neck 1a of the container 1. 3a is a suction core 3 rolled up from a flat sheet and rolled.
And an opening 1b, which functions as an air vent and helps to efficiently evaporate the liquid fragrance.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows a liquid fragrance in a container using a core holder, 11 is a bottle-shaped container, and a screw is formed on the outer periphery of a cylindrical neck portion 11a. Numeral 12 denotes a core holder, which is fitted into the opening portion 11b of the neck portion 11a with an appropriate degree of fitting, and holds the suction core at the inner diameter portion. Although not shown, a ventilation groove is formed in the inner diameter portion of the core retainer 12 in the vertical direction. Reference numeral 13 denotes a suction core, which is formed by cutting a sheet-shaped material having an appropriate thickness into a round shape and inserting the cut material into the opening 12a of the core holder 12. The length of the suction core 13 reaches the bottom of the container 11, and the wound thickness is formed according to the diameter of the opening 12 a of the core holder 12. Reference numeral 14 denotes an inner stopper for preventing evaporation before use, and reference numeral 15 denotes a ring-shaped screw cap which is screwed into a screw of the neck 11a of the container 11 to hold the inner stopper 14 and the like.

The state of use of the fragrance in FIG. 2 is the same as that in FIG. 1 described above, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 3 shows a sheet-like state of the material of the suction core. The material 33 is in the form of a sheet having an appropriate thickness as described above, and the length 33 is adjusted to the depth of the container, and the winding diameter direction R is adjusted to the diameter of the container. To be short, and to a thick core long, to cut and use only the desired amount.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing a state in which a circularly wound suction core 43 is assembled to the container 1 using a corrugated material instead of a flat material for the suction core. Reference numeral 43a denotes a suction core 43 obtained by rolling a corrugated sheet into a roll and an opening 1
b (in the figure, the screw cap 5 covers the opening), which functions as an air vent and helps to efficiently evaporate the liquid fragrance.

In the above-described embodiment, two cases, one using a core holder at the opening of the container and the other not using the core holder, are described. At the time of product shipment, a conventional rod-shaped suction core is assembled. In the meantime, when replacing with the suction core of the present invention at the time of refilling, a core press is required, and as described above, it is necessary to form a groove for ventilation in the inner diameter portion as described above. There is.

On the other hand, in the case where the suction core of the present invention is assembled from the time of product shipment, since the air passage is formed by the rounded suction core, there is no need to hold the core.
As described above, the core retainer is required or not required in the state of shipping the product.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the suction wick for the liquid fragrance in the container is made into a sheet shape, and the width and length are cut in accordance with the diameter of the fragrance container or the diameter of the core holder. Since it was rolled up and used, if the liquid fragrance is refillable, the existing container can be reused if this sheet is attached. The new wick allows the liquid to evaporate more efficiently. When the sheet is rolled and rolled, a step is generated at the end thereof, which functions as a vent for venting air. Since it is cut and used, it can correspond to the diameter of various containers and the diameter of the core holder. Such an effect can be expected.

Even if it is not a refillable type, if the sheet-like material is rolled up from the beginning to form a suction core, the air vent is easily formed structurally as described above. This eliminates the need for a core holder, and reduces the number of parts, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

Further, if the sheet of the suction core is formed in a wavy shape, it becomes very easy to roll. An air vent is reliably formed. Such an effect can be obtained.
