Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an air freshener container, and more specifically, the lid of the container is configured to be extremely easy to fold and attach by using a piece of cardboard or the like that has been punched out in advance. The present invention relates to an air freshener container.

Some air freshener containers consist of a container body and a lid, and after storing the air freshener in the container body, the lid is raised and lowered to change the opening area, optimizing the volatilization state of the fragrance before use. The structure is designed to serve the needs of the public.

However, if such a structure is adopted, the container body and lid must be molded from synthetic resin, making it expensive, and it may be difficult to provide it as a free sample or sample, or if it is disposable. It is unsuitable in terms of price when used as a container.

This invention was created in view of the above circumstances,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an air freshener container in which the lid is molded from cardboard and configured so that it can be attached to the container body very easily.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained along with embodiments shown in the drawings.

The fragrance container 1 of the present invention consists of a container body 2 integrally molded from synthetic resin and a lid body 3 molded from cardboard.

As shown in FIG. 7, the container body 2 integrally molded from synthetic resin is formed as a cup-shaped container in the shape of an inverted truncated cone with a large diameter on the inside reaching the opening at the upper end. The central part of the force is a cylindrical projection 2 pointing upwards.
b is provided protrudingly.

This protrusion 2b is a core portion when the fragrance is filled into the container body, but this protrusion 2b may be omitted.

A flange 4 is horizontally protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 2 near the opening end over the entire circumference.

A plurality of tongue-shaped locking pieces 5 are vertically protruded upward along the outer peripheral edge of the flange 4 at equal angular intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 4, this locking piece 5 has an outer surface 5a having the same curvature as the outer peripheral edge of the flange 4 and is an arcuate surface, and an inner surface 5b of the locking piece 5, which will be described later. It is an arcuate surface with a curvature approximately equal to the curvature of the curved side wall of the body 3.

Further, a protrusion 5c with a right-angled cross section is provided in the middle of the inner surface 5b of the locking piece 5, with the lower surface being horizontal.

The inside of the flange 4 is shown in the cross-sectional view of Figures 6 and 7.
An annular space 2c surrounding the container body 2 as shown in FIG.
It becomes.

On both sides of these locking pieces 5, one protrusion 6 is protruded along the outer peripheral edge of the flange 4 with a relatively small interval.

This protrusion 6 is attached to the locking piece 5 as shown in the second figure.
It is extremely small compared to the locking piece 5, and similarly to the locking piece 5, it is vertically protruded upward by an internal force.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the cover body 3r/'i is formed into a disk shape by the relatively thick paper.

This lid body 3 has the same number of notches 7 as the locking pieces 5 formed at equal angular intervals near its outer periphery.

As shown in FIG. 3, this notch 7 is formed in a U-shape toward the outside, and both ends thereof are connected by a fold line 7a.

Radial folding lines 9 are formed on the lid 3 to form petal-shaped side walls 8 around the notch 7, and the inner ends of adjacent folding lines 9 are circular. They are connected by an arcuate fold line 9a.

Petal-shaped side wall 8Vi defined by fold lines 9 and 9a
They all have the same shape, and their number is equal to the number of cuts T.

A star-shaped flat part 10 defined by an arcuate fold line 9a is formed in the center of the lid body 3.

The casing and lid 3 have U bulges outward at every 801 side walls and in the vicinity of the arcuate fold line 9a.
A letter-shaped cut 11 is formed.

Next, a method of using the aromatic agent container according to the present invention formed as described above will be explained.

Although it is not shown in the figure, the container body 2 is filled with an air freshener, and the open end of the container body 2 is closed with Al5 foil or synthetic resin film.
First, remove the blocking material to expose the air freshener inside.

In this state, when the lid body 3 is mountain-folded along the folding lines 9 and 9a, each side wall 8 is curved in an arc shape so as to be convex toward the inside, and the whole becomes an umbrella as shown in FIG. The upper end portion becomes a star-shaped flat portion 10.

After bending in this manner, each side wall 8 is locked so that the notch 7 formed near the peripheral edge of the lid body 3 faces the protrusion 5c formed on the inner peripheral surface 5b side of the locking piece 5. Located inside the piece 5, the lower end of each side wall 3 rests on the flange 4.

When the right triangular projection 5c is press-fitted into the notch 7, the rectangular tongue 7a surrounded by the notch 7 is bent inward as shown by the chain line in FIG.
Since the protrusion 5c fits into the rectangular space formed by opening the protrusion 5c and the lower end surface of the protrusion 5c is horizontal, the lower edge of this opening is locked and does not come out.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each side wall 3 of the lid body 3
is curved in an arc shape so as to be convex toward the inside, or the inner peripheral surface of the locking piece 5 is also formed in an arc shape to match this, so the side wall 8 is curved in an arc shape so as to be convex toward the inside. The notch 7 of the protrusion 5c is attached along the inner circumferential surface 5b, and there is no space between them.
The fitting between the two parts is ensured.

In addition, since the inner side of the side wall 8 extending outward from the left and right ends of the locking piece 5 is locked and held down by the protrusions 6 protruding from both sides of the locking piece 5, the side wall 8 can be freely displaced left and right. There are no drawbacks that would cause you to do so.

By fitting the projections 5c and the notches T in one-to-one correspondence in this way, the lid 3 is fixed to the container body 2 with an umbrella-shaped outer shape, as shown in FIG.

In this state, each side wall 8 has an internal force and is convex inward, so the portion of the fold line 9 is in a state of being bulged outward due to internal force and the portion below the fold line 9 has an approximately triangular cross section. It becomes a shaped space through which outside air can freely flow and come into contact with the aromatic agent inside the container body 2.

Note that the U-shaped notch 1 formed in the side wall 8 of the single button
1 to the outside, the U-shaped tongue piece 1 will open as shown in Figure 1.
1a is cut and raised, and this part becomes an opening, and the degree of diffusion of the fragrance can be adjusted.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the container body is integrally molded from synthetic resin, and the lid body is formed by punching out cardboard in the shape of a disk. An umbrella-shaped lid is formed by bending the lid along the fold line, and the notch formed in the petal-shaped side wall of the lid is inserted into the locking piece protruding from the flange on the outer peripheral surface of the container body. The lid can be attached to the container body very easily simply by fitting into the projections formed on the inner circumferential surface, and an aromatic agent container with a simple structure and low manufacturing cost can be provided.

The inner circumferential surface of the housing and locking piece is an arc-shaped curved surface, so
It fits well with the side wall of the lid body which is curved in an arc shape, and the protrusion protruding from the inner circumferential surface of the locking piece can be accurately fitted with the notch in the side wall of the lid body. The small protrusions protruding from both sides of the piece can press the inner surface of the side wall, which has the excellent effect of preventing the lid from shifting.
