Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fragrance diffusion container.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, containers have been known that contain a volatile fragrance and diffuse the fragrance through an opening formed in a side wall of the container by a fan rotated by a motor.

Conventional containers of this type often have complex structures and tend to be expensive. The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose is to provide an air freshener diffusion container that has an extremely simple structure and is configured to display the remaining amount of air freshener. There is.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, the aromatic agent diffusion container, which is designated as a whole by reference numeral 1, includes a casing 2 with an open upper end and a removable lid 3 that closes the open end. A support frame 4 formed as a quadrilateral frame is provided on the lower surface of the casing 2, and a plurality of openings 5, exemplified as vertically narrow openings, are formed on the side wall of the casing 2. There is.

Several protrusions 6 are protruded from the inner surface of the side wall on the lower side of the lid 3, and a frame 7 is removably attached while being supported by these protrusions 6. A battery box 8 is formed in a part of the frame 7, and a battery 9 is placed inside the battery box 8.
is accommodated. A motor 10 is attached alongside the battery box 8, and a fan 12 is fixed to the lower end of its output shaft 11.

On the other hand, what is designated by the reference numeral 13 is a rotating plate, which is formed in a generally dogleg shape as a whole, as shown in the enlarged view in Fig. 3, and is located at a position corresponding to the bent part and on both sides A shaft 14 is provided in a protruding manner, and is rotatably supported on the side wall of the housing 2 via this shaft 14. Several elongated notches 15 are formed on one side edge of the rotating plate 13, and have a comb-like shape. The reason why the notch 15 is formed into a comb-teeth shape is to allow the airflow caused by the rotation of the fan 12 to circulate well to the inner bottom surface of the housing 2, and to allow the air freshener to be placed on the notch 15 of the rotary plate 13. This makes it easier for airflow to come into contact with the bottom surface of the

Further, a projecting piece 16 is provided on the other end side of the rotating plate 13, and a display plate 17 whose outer surface is formed in an arc shape is protruded from the tip of the projecting piece 16 at right angles. It is set up. This display board 17 also serves as a weight, and in its natural state, the rotating board 13 is set so that the display board 17 side is lowered.

Furthermore, a display sheet 18 is attached to the outer surface of the display board 17 to indicate the replacement period by color or text.

On the other hand, an opening 19 is formed in the side wall of the housing 2 facing the display panel 17, and a stopper 20 is provided protruding below the opening 19. This stopper 20 stops the rotating plate 1 when the fragrance runs out or becomes very small.
3 rotates around the shaft 14 so that the display plate 17 side becomes lower, and when the display plate 17 side becomes almost horizontal, the lower end of the display plate 17 contacts as shown by the chain line in FIG.
Letters and colors supporting exchange are provided at selected positions facing the opening 19.

What is indicated by the reference numeral 21 is an aromatic agent, which is formed into a cylindrical shape, for example, and is housed so as to be supported between the upper surface of the rotary plate 13 on the side where the notch 15 is formed and the side wall of the casing 2. Ru.

Note that the rotation limit of the rotating plate 13 due to the weight of the aromatic agent 21 is regulated by a stopper 22 protruding from the inside of the side wall of the housing 2, as shown in FIG.

Next, a method of using the fragrance container configured as above will be explained.

When starting to use, open the lid 3, remove the frame 7, put the aromatic agent 21 into the housing 2, and insert the side of the rotating plate 13 where the notch 15 is formed, as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is supported between the upper surface of the housing 2 and the inner surface of the housing 2. Then, due to the weight of the aromatic agent 21, the rotating plate 13 is rotated about the shaft 14 in a direction in which the display plate 17 side is raised as shown in FIG. 2, and the rotation is regulated by the stopper 22 and stopped. .

In this state, only the lower half of the display plate 17 is exposed to the opening 19, and there is no indication of replacement.

In this state, the battery 9 is inserted, the frame 7 is housed in the upper end of the housing, and the fan 12 is opposed to the aromatic agent 21. The fan 12 is configured to rotate immediately when the battery 9 is inserted.

When use continues in this manner and air is blown onto the aromatic agent 21 by the fan 12, the aromatic agent evaporates and is spread outward from the opening 5 along with the air flow.

On the other hand, as the aromatic agent 21 continues to volatilize, its diameter decreases as shown by the chain line in FIG. It falls onto the bottom plate of 2. Then, the rotary plate 13 is rotated by gravity in a direction in which the display plate 17 is lowered, and the stopper 20 and the display plate 17 come into contact and stop at a position where the upper end of the display plate 17 is exposed through the opening 19. As a result, a replacement indication is made from the opening 19.

Note that even if the air freshener 21 falls onto the bottom plate of the housing 2, it does not mean that all the air freshener is gone, and the fragrance can continue to spread for a while, so the user should replace the air freshener 21 as soon as possible. Bye.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, since a structure is adopted in which the air freshener is supported by a rotating plate equipped with a display plate that can display replacement information, the air freshener container can be stored at an extremely low cost. Moreover, it has the excellent effect of being able to reliably display the remaining amount or replacement.
