Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a moisture absorbent container that is stored in a place where humidity is averse, such as a closet, wardrobe, or shoe cabinet, and is used to absorb moisture in this place. It is something.

(Prior Art) Many types of moisture absorbent containers have been proposed in the past. However, the reality is that no moisture absorbent container with sufficient functionality required has yet been proposed. In other words, what is required for this type of moisture absorbent container is that it is easy and safe to handle, that the container itself is compact, and that even if it is compact, the container has a certain level of strength. . In particular, in terms of ease of handling, conventional moisture absorbent containers of this type have a structure in which the contents can be taken out after a certain amount of moisture has been absorbed for the purpose of reusing the container. something is proposed. In order to keep the contents accessible, the moisture absorbent container cannot be kept airtight. Therefore, when calcium chloride is used as a moisture absorbent, a liquid containing dissolved calcium chloride will accumulate in a container that has absorbed some moisture, but this liquid will leak out of the container when the container is tilted or overturned. . In this case, not only is the area around the desiccant container contaminated, which is very inconvenient, but also the desiccant container must be handled with great care.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to ensure not only reliable moisture absorption, but also easy and safe handling, and the container itself The object of the present invention is to provide a moisture absorbent container that is compact and has a predetermined strength.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a container in which a reinforcing portion is provided on the outer periphery that bulges inward and has a longitudinal notch. - A desiccant container characterized in that the inner container is placed inside the L portion of the outer container, and the upper end opening of the outer container is sealed with a membrane that allows only gas to pass through 17. Its gist is as follows.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a moisture absorbent container (1o) according to the present invention. This moisture absorbent container (10) has an inner container (20) containing calcium chloride (5O) and an outer container (30).
The upper end opening (32) of the outer container (3o) is sealed with a membrane (4o).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner container (20) has a plurality of reinforcing portions (
21). This reinforcing part (21) has an inner container (
A cutout (20) is formed in the vertical direction from the top end of the inner container (20) to the bottom (23).
2). In addition, the bottom (23) of the inner container (20)
) is provided with a number of holes (24). Furthermore, reinforcing ribs (25) are formed integrally with the inner container (2o) on the inner or outer periphery of the inner container (2o).
), a step (2B) bulging outward is formed on the outer periphery of the end. This stepped portion (28) allows the inner container (20
) is supported by the second part of the outer container (30).

In other words, the upper end of the outer container (30)
) is formed with a step (31) that bulges out to the outside, and the step (28) of the inner container (20) engages with this step (31). In addition, these inner container (20) and outer container (
30) is integrally formed from a synthetic resin material and is transparent or translucent so that the internal state can be visually recognized.

The membrane body (40) has many fine pores and, like a semipermeable membrane, does not allow molecules of a certain size to pass through. That is, this membrane body (40) has the property of allowing water vapor to pass through it, but not allowing liquid water or liquid solution to pass therethrough. In addition, this membrane body (40
), as shown in Figure 3, there is a reinforcing seam) (
41) is attached, and the strength of the membrane body (40) is maintained by this reinforcing sheet (41).

As this reinforcing sheet 1 (41), in order to prevent the permeability of the membrane (40) from being reduced, a nonwoven fabric net (trade name: Warif) having a coarse opening structure is used.

Then, this membrane body (40) is heat-sealed together with the reinforcing sheet (41) at the upper end opening (32) of the outer container (30) with the inner container (20) housed in the outer container (30). It is fixed by means such as.

As a result, in the moisture absorbent container (10), the inner container (
20) The upper opening (32) of the outer container (30) is sealed with a membrane (40) so that the calcium chloride (5O) or its solution contained therein does not leak out.

(Effects) In the moisture absorbent container (10) configured as shown in E below,
If you store this moisture absorbent container (10) in a place where you don't like it, such as a closet, wardrobe, or shoe rack, the moisture in these places will absorb calcium chloride (50%) in the outer container (30).
) is taken into the interior by the action of At this time, calcium chloride (5o) is transferred to the outer container (3) by the inner container (20).
The inner container (20) is supported at the upper part of the inner container (20
) When the calcium chloride (50) in ) absorbs moisture, this calcium chloride (50) changes from granular to agglomerated and then dissolves into a liquid, which flows out from each hole (24) in the bottom (23).
It flows down and accumulates at the bottom of the outer container (30). Even if the holes (24) of the inner container (20) become clogged due to the flow of this liquid, the reinforcing portion (21) of the inner container (20) is formed with a plurality of notches (22). The liquid flows down through each of these notches (22) to the bottom of the outer container (30).

In addition, as this moisture absorption progresses, a certain amount of liquid accumulates in the moisture absorbent container (10), and even if the moisture absorbent container (NO) is tilted or falls over, the liquid inside will leak out.
Never. This is the L end opening (3) of the outer container (30).
This is because 2) is @ marked by the membrane body (40).

Therefore, there is no problem with this moisture absorbent container (10) even if it is tilted or falls over, so there is no need to pay attention to the arrangement and position of the moisture absorbent container (10), and its handling It is easy to use and completely safe during use.

In addition, in this moisture absorbent container (10), since the reinforcing portion (21) is formed in the inner container (20), the strength of the entire moisture absorbent container (10) is compensated by this reinforcement portion (21). ing. That is, not only is the inner container (20) itself reinforced by each reinforcing portion (21), but since the inner container (20) is housed inside the outer container (30), the outer container (30) is also reinforced. The moisture absorbent container (10) is reinforced as a whole by being reinforced by the inner container (20). Of course, this is also accomplished by the reinforcing ribs (25) formed on the inner container (20). Therefore, there is no need for the outer container (30) itself to have a strong shape (a thin one is sufficient), and the size of the inner container (20) itself is limited to the necessary amount of calcium chloride (50 ) should be able to accommodate the
The desiccant container (lO) can be formed compactly as a whole.

(Summary) As described in detail below, in the present invention, as exemplified in the above embodiment, the inner container is provided with a reinforcing portion that bulges inward on the outer periphery and has a vertical notch. The inner container contains a moisture absorbent such as calcium chloride and is placed inside a part of the outer container, and the end opening of the outer container is sealed with a membrane that allows only gas to pass through. As a result, it is possible to provide a moisture absorbent container that not only has a reliable moisture absorption effect but also is easy and safe to handle, the container itself is compact, and has a predetermined strength.
