The present invention also relates to a diffuser-type blower-type chemical apparatus as a control device for damaging pests or insects of the blower type to apply air current to a chemical receptacle that retains a pest or insect control component to emanate or diffuse such control component together with air to an atmosphere. The present invention also relates to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as a blowing-type chemical blowing apparatus provided with a receptacle for chemicals loaded with a volatile chemical that serves as an insecticide, repellent, aromatic product , deodorant, germicide or fungicide and an air blower with which air is sucked through an inlet mouth of air and air is emanated or diffused through an outlet to an atmosphere together with such volatile chemical product that volatilizes from the receptacle of chemical products and is occluded in the air. The present invention also relates to a chemical product cartridge for retaining a volatile chemical such as a harmful insect control agent, an aromatic, deodorant or germicidal product and allowing such volatile chemical product to be emitted or diffused into an atmosphere from the cartridge of chemical products when it is used in a diffuser device for chemical products of the blower type. The present invention also relates to a body or component impregnated with chemicals to retain a volatile chemical such as a harmful insect control agent, an aromatic product, a deodorant or germicide and allow such a volatile chemical to be emanated or diffused to an atmosphere from the chemical cartridge when it is used in a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus.
BACKGROUND A blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus is known as disclosed in JP 2002-291392 A. Such a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus is provided in its body with an air blower, a receptacle for chemicals (cartridge of chemical products) and an electric power supply container in which the air blower includes a fan and a motor, the chemical receptacle is stored with a volatile chemical and the electric power supply container contains a battery. The motor is driven to spin the fan, which causes air to flow through the receptacle of chemicals, which in turn volatilizes a volatile chemical and diffuses it to an atmosphere. When the volatile chemical and the battery become ineffective and end their lifetimes of use, the conventional blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the type described above is designed to make them replaceable for continued use. Thus, for example, the electric power supply container that is designed to contain the replaceable battery and have the chemical receptacle mounted replaceable therein and that it be removably mounted on the body of the product. apparatus so that the removal of the electrical power supply container from the body of the apparatus allows replacement of the chemical receptacle and the battery. This arrangement includes interconnecting a plurality of components together in a detachable manner to allow replacement of the chemical receptacle and the battery and thus makes the structure complicated and expensive. Likewise, the need to remove the electric power supply container from the body of the apparatus and then pass the chemical receptacle and the battery of the electric power supply container removed for replacement requires cumbersome handling and results in a likelihood that the body of the apparatus or the container of electrical power supply may be lost while they are disconnected from each other. Furthermore, the impossibility of connecting the motor for the air blower mounted in the body of the apparatus to the battery received in the electrical power supply container by means of a flexible cable requires a complicated structure to electrically connect them to each other. In addition, the volume of a receptacle of chemicals in the condition where it has a large number of bodies impregnated into particulate chemicals in a porous receptacle body must be of great thickness. This requires that the body of the apparatus be of large thickness. A blow-type apparatus for controlling harmful insects is also known as disclosed in JP 2001-197856 A. Such an insect control apparatus includes a receptacle for chemicals that contains an insect control component or ingredient, a fan and an engine which are all contained in a body of the apparatus (in the form of a camera) which in turn has an air inlet and an outlet for air in which the rotation of the fan by means of the motor causes air to be sucked through the air inlet, so that it impinges on the receptacle of chemical products and so that it comes out through the mouth of the air outlet together with the insect control ingredient to an atmosphere, thus emanating or diffusing the insect control ingredient into the atmosphere. A conventional insect control apparatus of this type to make its insect control function effective when it is carried by a user used outdoors, has its body formed with a pair of air outlet mouths facing upwards and towards below, respectively, so that when used by the user it causes the air containing insect control ingredient to come out both upwards and downwards through the air outlet mouth facing upwards and the exit mouth air facing down, respectively. A conventional insect control apparatus of this type having its body of the apparatus formed with air outlet mouths facing up and down so that when used worn on the wearer's waist can cause air containing ingredients of Insect control selectively both up and down is designed to make the insect control ingredient reach both the user's head and feet. However, with such conventional insect control apparatus simply formed with such outlet mouths facing up and down only, it takes for the insect control ingredient to reach the user's head and feet and thus is not possible control harmful insects from the precise start of use of the device. In an open space such as the weather where the apparatus is used, the air currents produced by wind flow and the user's movement tends to fluctuate the air currents discharged and prevent them from diffusing to the target directions and may not protect the user of the suffering of insect attack. Also, in a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as disclosed in JP 2004-24161 A which is designed to suck air through an inlet or suction air in an air blower and make the product chemical volatilizes from a chemical receptacle (chemical cartridge) so that it exits through an air discharge port together with aspirated air, as shown in figures 23 and 24, the body of the apparatus 241 is formed in its upper part with the suction mouth 242 for sucking air and on its two opposite sides with air discharge mouths 243 for emitting chemical product entrained in the sucked air. The suction mouth 242 in the upper part of the body 241 of the apparatus is provided with a receptacle 244 of chemical product or that accommodates chemical in which the chemical is retained. This receptacle 244 of chemical product is formed both in its upper part and in its lower part with slits 245 that open out in the form of annual rings (or rings of annual growth of a tree) through which the air is made to flow. Further, the body 241 of the apparatus is provided in its interior of the air blower 246 and has battery cells 247 received on two opposite sides of the air blower 246, respectively, as a power supply for driving the air blower. With the apparatus 241 arranged in this manner, the air blower 246 incorporated therein to operate energized by the battery cells 247 sucks air from the suction mouth 242 at its top through the receptacle 244 of chemical product and causes the air sucked inward and passing through the receptacle 244 of chemical product while carrying chemical volatilizes there to emanate and diffuse through the air discharge mouths 243 on its side faces into the environment. On the other hand, the body 241 of the apparatus has a strap 248 attached thereto to allow the apparatus to be carried on a user's wrist or the like. Such a belt 248 is flexible, thin and elongated and has a buckle 249 at its ends with which the body 241 of the apparatus can be carried on a wrist of the user or the like, thereby allowing the diffuser apparatus of chemical products of type Blower of the invention is used placed on a wrist or the like. A conventional blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of this type requires that the body of that apparatus include a receptacle of chemical product that contains a volatile chemical, an air separator for diffusing chemical product that volatilizes from the chemical receptacle to the environment and also a battery as a source of electric power supply to energize the air blower as the heaviest component. As a result, the body of the apparatus tends to be large and heavy, giving the possibility that this makes the user feel that it is difficult to use the apparatus. Especially in the case of the blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the invention being used placed on the user's wrist or the like, the user may feel unpleasant with the sensation of size and weight. There is also known a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as disclosed in JP 2002-291392 A. A blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of this type, the body of the apparatus includes an air blower, a product cartridge chemical and an electrical power supply container in which the air blower has a fan and a motor, and the chemical cartridge comprises a porous receptacle containing a large number of bodies impregnated with particulate chemical impregnated with a product chemical, and the electric power supply container accommodates a battery.
The apparatus is designed in such a way that pulling the fan with the motor causes air to pass through the receptacle and emanates with chemical product dragged thereinto into the atmosphere. A conventional chemical cartridge as mentioned above comprises a porous receptacle which must contain a large number of bodies impregnated with chemical in particles impregnated with a chemical that must be of great thickness, requiring that such a chemical cartridge be of great thickness . As a result, a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of this type that requires a chemical cartridge, an air blower and all batteries mounted within the body of the apparatus must be very thick in its entirety. In addition, the conventional chemical cartridge as recited above comprises a porous receptacle containing a large number of bodies impregnated in a particulate chemical impregnated with a chemical, and the chemical in these bodies impregnated with particulate chemical when volatilizing is dragged in air that is passed through the receptacle and is progressively emitted into the atmosphere. When the chemical impregnated in the bodies impregnated with chemical product is exhausted, the receptacle that carries the bodies impregnated with chemical in particles are discarded as waste. Such chemical cartridges which thus require that when they are exhausted are discarded as waste, are unfavorable under current social circumstances, such as waste problems and energy savings. A body impregnated with chemical is also known as disclosed in JP 2001-200239 A. This body impregnated with chemical comprises a plurality of networks carrying chemical product composed of twisted yarn and arranged one over the other in which the networks They are impregnated with a chemical. A body impregnated with conventional chemical as mentioned above in which a plurality of networks are arranged one on top of another, can be produced, but makes the user feel difficult to use this body impregnated with chemical product having a plurality of networks arranged one on top of the other. the other can also cause a user's hand to be contaminated with a chemical product from such a body impregnated with a chemical when it is held in the hand. When the chemical impregnated in the networks is exhausted, the nets are discarded as waste as the chemical cartridge mentioned above. Such body impregnated with chemical is unfavorable under current social circumstances such as waste and energy saving problems. A chemical cartridge is also known as disclosed in the JP Design Register No. 1173150. This chemical cartridge comprises a receptacle defined by an outer casing having an opening and an internal casing having an opening in which an A large number of bodies impregnated with a chemical product impregnated with a chemical are received in a space between the outer shell and the inner shell. This chemical cartridge is designed to contain bodies impregnated in chemical product impregnated with a chemical product in a limited portion of the volume of the cartridge through which air is passed to carry chemical volatilizing product therein for diffusion to the Atmosphere, the amount of chemical that can be contained per unit volume is limited, and if it is made larger it must be larger in diameter and volume and if it is made larger it must be larger in diameter, thus making the Cartridge body is of larger size as a whole.
As a result, such a chemical cartridge requires a large space for its disposition in a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus and in this way makes the body of the apparatus large in size. JP 2002-291392 above mentioned also discloses a body impregnated with chemical that uses a large amount of carrier particles impregnated with chemical and retained in a porous receptacle. As a result, this requires that the receptacle be of large size and therefore also of large thickness, also causing the body of a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus to be large in size. On the other hand, if the body impregnated with chemical is made in the form of a sheet as a carrier impregnated with a chemical and thus retains the chemical it can be sufficiently thin that it keeps the body of the apparatus sufficiently thin. However, a body impregnated with chemical thus made in the form of a sheet is of such little stiffness that it can not maintain its given shape. In this way, an attempt is made to maintain a given shape of a body impregnated with a chemical by supporting it in its central region, in its outer peripheral region and in intermediate regions with its retention receptacle.
These regions of the body impregnated with chemical supported by the retention receptacle are of large surface area and are rendered totally useless to emanate and diffuse chemical impregnated in these regions because air can not pass through the regions. In this regard, a body impregnated with a chemical as disclosed in JP Hll-92303 A is also known, which is in the form of a honeycomb impregnated with a chemical that is of greater rigidity and larger than the amount of chemical contained in it. volume unit that the body impregnated with chemical product similar to a sheet. However, it will be of the type similar to a sheet or a honeycomb, such a body impregnated with conventional chemical once it is used or spent in a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus to diffuse chemical into the atmosphere should be discarded as waste . Such body impregnated with conventional disposable type chemical is unfavorable under current social circumstances from the point of view of waste and conservation of resources. For this reason, it is conceivable to make the body impregnated with the used chemical product reusable by impregnating it again with a chemical product to make it retain the chemical again. Then, although it may be possible to make reusable a chemically impregnated body used especially if it is a drip type film to impregnate it with chemical product and make it retain the chemical again, impregnating an impregnated body of channel type, formed to include a large number of cells, whose chemical product requires submerging the body of the honeycomb in a container filled with a large amount of chemical or continuing the supply thereof with a large amount of chemical and for a period of time sufficient to obtain the required impregnation . This not only requires a large amount of chemical, but there will also be a specialized facility that will be necessary to deal with the chemical. Thus, while a large number of bodies impregnated with chemical can be reimpregnated with chemical product and thus be made reusable successively as in a factory or manufacturing plant without difficulty to meet these requirements, it is totally impractical for a individual user attempts to make a conventional used chemical product retainer or cartridge reusable because excess chemical is wasted and can not be treated.

In a chemical cartridge as indicated above, the central support section, the peripheral support section and the intermediate support section are identical in shape and size to the central containment section, the peripheral containment section and the containment section. intermediate, respectively, so that the air stream passage sections are identical in shape and size with each other. This composition allows air to flow evenly in the passage sections of air stream both in the base component of the receptacle and in the cap component and in this way the chemical in the body impregnated with chemical emanates and diffuses towards the environmental atmosphere evenly and efficiently. The present invention also provides in a further aspect thereof a chemical product cartridge characterized in that it comprises a body impregnated with a chemical in the form of an air-permeable and liquid-absorbent sheet impregnated with a chemical and a retention receptacle for containing the body impregnated with chemical in which the retention receptacle is formed in the central area thereof with a recess of liquid accumulation so that the liquid chemical stored in the recess of liquid accumulation is allowed to infiltrate an area peripheral of the sheet. Here, too, such a chemical cartridge is advantageous in that it can be refilled after use. For this purpose, liquid chemical is supplied to the recess in the central area of the retention receptacle, and the liquid chemical accumulated in this recess of the retention receptacle is allowed to infiltrate to its periphery and then to the body of the sheet uniformly throughout. your area. In this way a chemical cartridge can be reused repeatedly.
Also, by being positioned in a center of the retention receptacle, the liquid accumulation recess does not in any way obstruct the air stream coming from the fan that can then be used without waste and exploited efficiently to diffuse the chemical in the ambient atmosphere . In addition, with the body impregnated with thin chemical in the form of a sheet held by a retention receptacle, the chemical cartridge can be thin.

Best Ways to Carry Out the Invention In principle, mention is made of a first form of implementation of the present invention. With reference to Figures 1 to 4, a blower-type chemical diffusing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the invention includes an apparatus body 1, and an air blower 2, a chemical product cartridge. 3 and a battery 4 that are contained in the main body 1 of the housing. The main body of the housing 1 comprises a first housing component 10 and a second housing component 11 of counterpart interconnected openably by means of a hinge 12 so as to be able to open and close the main body of the housing 1. The first housing component 10 is of extremely small thickness compared to its flat size, ie it is similar to a thin sheet. It is formed with a recess 13 for mounting the blower, air passages 14 open to the recess 13 for mounting the blower, and a recess 15 for accommodating the battery. The recess 13 of the blower assembly and the battery acceptance recess 15 are each open to an internal side face 10a of the first housing component 10 and are mutually spaced apart in a plane thereof so as not to they are one on top of the other in one direction of their thickness. The air passages 14 open into the mounting recess of the blower 13 to an external surface 10b of the first housing component 10. The second housing component is of extremely small thickness compared to its flat size, ie it is similar to a plate thin. It can adopt two positions, that is to say one in which it covers and the other in which it discovers, both the recess 13 for mounting the blower and the recess 15 that accommodates the battery. The second housing component 11 is formed with air passages 16 in an area thereof which is opposite the recess 13 of the blower assembly of the first housing component 10. The air blower 2 includes a fan 20 and a motor 21 mounted according to is received within the recess 13 of the blower assembly and is designed so that rotation of the fan 20 by the motor 21 when the second housing component 11 is in the closed condition causes air to flow through the air passages 14 of the first component of housing 10 and the air passages 16 of the second housing component 11. For example, air can be sucked through the air passages 16 of the second housing component 11 and discharged through the air passages 14 of the first component from carcass 10 to atmosphere, or vice versa. The chemical cartridge 3 includes a body impregnated with chemical that is a carrier in the form of a sheet impregnated with a chemical placed on an annular edge of the blower mounting recess 13 and, when the second housing component 11 is put in its closed position, it is retained against the annular edge with an internal face 11b thereof. The recess 15 that accommodates the battery provides a space in which the battery 3 in the form of dry cells can be disposed removably. With the apparatus configured as mentioned above, by placing the second housing component 11 in its open position in relation to the first housing component 10 it is allowed to remove, arrange and change the cartridge 3 and the battery 4. And, carrying the second component of housing 11 to its closed position in relation to the first housing component followed by the drive of the motor 21 to rotate the fan 20 that allows air to pass through the body impregnated with chemical in the chemical cartridge and that air having chemical entrained in it be emitted and diffused to a environmental atmosphere further, the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus, even in its closed position is itself extremely small in thickness compared to its flat size, ie, it is similar to a thin plate. Here, its flat size is as large or a little larger than the size of the fan 20 and the battery 4, that is to say a flat size practically without having any area other than the area in which the fan 20 and the battery 4 can be just disposed within the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus (thereby omitting any useless flat space). In this way, the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus is made slim and compact, allowing the blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus to be made thin and compact. This makes the apparatus easy to handle and makes the molds that are required to be smaller in size and the stock material to be of smaller quantity, thus also reducing its manufacturing cost. Specifically, as seen in its flat form, the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus comprises a first region which is almost circular, a second region Ib that is almost rectangular and a third region or intermediate region that interconnects the first region and the second region Ib, and as a whole it is almost rectangular except for the first region which is almost circular. The first almost circular region has a flat size that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fan 20, the second almost rectangular region Ib has a flat size that is slightly larger than that of the battery 4 and the intermediate region it is in the flat form of a pair of deltas simply to make the first region and the second region contiguous so that there is no waste space in the contour and volume of the apparatus. As a result, the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus has its surface contour appropriately arranged in convex and almost concave configurations, providing aesthetic accentuation to its general shape and making the apparatus visually attractive to the user. On the contrary, the body of the casing of such a conventional apparatus was monotonous in its surface contour without such accentuation so that its appearance was not very attractive to the user. The air passages 14 can be formed not only in the first region but also on both sides of the intermediate region, so that the chemical can be emitted and diffused towards a greater number of directions. Next, additional configurations of the components of the apparatus are mentioned. The first housing component 10 includes an outer shell 17, an inner shell 18 and an inner plate 19. The outer shell 17 is concave in shape and comprises a surface plate 17a provided with side plates 17b along the same and formed with air passage setting 50 also with a first shim section 51 and a shim section 52. The inner shroud 18 comprises a base plate 18a provided with a side plate which is mounted inside the outer casing 17. The plate base 18a is formed with a recess 53 open to the surface plate 17a of the outer shell 17. The engine 21 is received and mounted in position in the recess 53 from which its output shaft 21a projects by passing through the base plate 18a and has the fan 20 attached to it. The fan 20 is here a sirocco fan but can be a helical fan or a similar fan. The side plate 18b is provided with a plurality of suction guides 54 and also with a wedge section 55 for fitting with the wedge section 51.
The internal plate 19 has an annular recess 56 which defines a circular opening 57 and is formed with a shim section 58 for shimming with the shim section 52 of the outer casing 1 to cover the fan 20. The composition described above allows the air blower 2 is easily put into position in the first housing component 10, arranging and mounting the motor 21 in position in the recess 53 of the inner housing 18 and mounting the inner housing 18 in this condition within the outer shell 17, followed by the linking of the fan 20 and then by the assembly of the internal plate 19. This structure is not easy to assemble but also looks nice with the motor 21 out of view by the outer shell 17. The outer shell 17 and the inner envelope 18 also produces the recess 15 that accommodates the battery. The second housing component 11 is concave in shape and comprises a surface plate 11b provided with a side plate 11c, which is formed with the shim section 59 which is designed to fit with the shim section 55 of the inner shell 18. Surface plate 11b has a round highlighted area 11b formed with air passages 16, for example, in the form of a plurality of slits, as shown.
The side plate 17b of the outer shell 17 in the first shell component 10 is formed at half its length with a draft 17c while the side plate 11c of the second shell component 11 is also formed at half its length with a draft, these openings being formed opposite each other to provide the air passages 14, as shown in Figure 1. The cartridge of the chemical product 3 includes a receptacle 30 of round concave shape with its one open side, a body 31. impregnated with concave shaped chemical product in this round receptacle 30 and a round cap 32 mounted on the receptacle 30. Here, the round receptacle 30 and the round cap 32 are formed with air passages 30a, and air passages 32a, respectively . The body 31 impregnated with chemical is a carrier of chemical product in the form of a disc similar to a thin sheet or impregnated with a chemical. The round receptacle 30 is placed in the annular recess 56 of the internal plate 19 so as to fit with and be carried by it. Then, by bringing the second housing component 11 to its closed position its round highlighted area lid is placed in the position to the round lid 32.
This places the round receptacle 30 (and the chemical cartridge 3) firmly in the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus. The air blower 2 and the battery 4 are spaced apart in flat position and do not overlap in the thickness direction while the chemical cartridge 3 which uses a body or carrier impregnated with chemical in the form of a sheet is thin . These in combination give rise to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus that is thin on the whole.
The body 1 of the housing of the apparatus so that it can be used in suspension is provided on its lateral side with a loop for hanging 60 and also on its lower face is provided with a hanging opening 61 that can be used alternatively for hooking. The hanging loop 60 may be formed, for example, by a raised U-shaped part 62 of its integral axis with one of the side plates 18b of the inner shell 18 in the first housing component 10 of the body 1 of the housing of the device. The hanging opening 61 can be formed in a connecting piece 63 in an almost-L-shaped form, made integral with the surface plate 17a of the outer shell 17 in the first housing component 10 of the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus.
As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a hanger (hanging utensil) 64 having a first hook 60 and a second hook 66 which will fit with the pieces 62 and 63 of the hanging loop 65 and the opening can be used. to hang 61, respectively. Thus equipped, as mentioned above, a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus according to the present invention can be carried by the user hanging on the hanger 64 which as shown in Figure 5 can in turn be hung on a belt that the user is wearing. Also, the use of the hanger 64 as a fall protector for the body 1 of the housing of the apparatus when the hook 66 is inserted in the opening 61 and the housing body 1 is mounted longitudinally so that it rests on a support plane according to it is shown in figure 6 that a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus according to the present invention is allowed to be used when it rests on a floor, table or the like. In addition, a rope can be tied to the hanger loop 60 and then used to hang the appliance on a wall or the like or on a part of the body or a part of the wearer's clothing.
Likewise, the apparatus that is thus thin and compact can easily be manipulated by any user from a child to an adult, with its carcass body linked to the waist, neck, arm or leg. In Figures 1 and 4, a button 5 and a lamp 6 are also shown. The button 5 is activated and deactivated to energize and de-energize the motor 21 while the lamp 6 turns on and off, respectively. The carrier similar to a sheet used as impregnated with chemical in the present invention is produced illustratively with a porous paper, fabric, woven or non-woven fabric or network material. Taking into account its stability when placed, it is convenient that the body impregnated with chemical for use be firmly retained by a receptacle and its lid or by coating a portion, for example, an outer peripheral portion, of the body impregnated with chemical product similar to a sheet with a resin or similar. Furthermore, considering its portability, it is convenient that the carrier be a thin sheet having a thickness of 2 to 5 mm and an area of 700 to 3000 mm2. The chemical for use in the present invention may be a control agent for harmful insects such as an insecticide, an insecticide against mites, a repellent of pests or harmful insects, a retardant of pest development or inhibitor of suction, an aromatic product , a deodorant or bactericide, and must be volatile. Such chemicals, used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the chemicals, pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorus and other chemicals may be listed, of which the chemical pyrethroid chemicals they can be preferably used since they are generally of high security. In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin and profluthrin which are highly active and which in a small amount have efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small. The power supply for the motor 21 can illustratively comprise one or more dry cells such as dry alkaline batteries of size AAAA, AAA, AA, C and D, dry manganese cells of size AAAA, AAA, AA, C and D, alkaline cells of Rectangular shape (9 volt), lithium batteries and lithium button batteries that can be used in a unique way or in combination. The fan 20 for use in the present invention may be a centrifugal fan that preferably has a size as indicated below.
The centrifugal fan preferably has a diameter D of 30 mm to 60 mm. If the centrifugal fan is smaller in diameter, then its spin will not produce enough centrifugal force, which requires more energy to spin it faster and deteriorates energy efficiency. This also reduces the volume of the internal space that it occupies, which in turn reduces the alternatives of the engine 21.
Conversely, by making the diameter D of the fan larger than 60 mm, the device will be made larger and its portability poor. The centrifugal fan preferably has a ratio: D / d of external diameter D to internal diameter d which is from 1.05 to 1.6. If the ratio is less than 1.05, then a consequent reduction in the width of the fan blade will not produce enough wind. On the other hand, if the ratio exceeds 1.6, then the resistance to rotation received by the fan blade will become excessive, also deteriorating its energy efficiency. Preferably the centrifugal fan has an effective blade height h comprised between 2 mm and 10 mm. If the effective height is less than 2 mm, the pallet will not have enough surface area to produce adequate wind. On the contrary, not only a height greater than 10 mm will make the fan inadequate to make the device thin, but also a resultant increase in the resistance to rotation will reduce its energy efficiency.
If the motor is placed in any other place than in the common internal space in which the centrifugal fan is placed, there will be no bad influence on the wind input but then the apparatus is required to have a thickness that is at least sum of the thickness of the fan and the motor. This has been the manner adopted by the prior art; however, an apparatus of this type could not be produced as small in thickness as in the size of the present invention. If the motor housing (that is, the recess 53 in Figure 2) in which the motor 21 is accepted occupies more than 60% of the internal space occupied to accept the centrifugal fan, then the space that remains will be insufficient for the fan produce sufficient air flow and operate efficiently. Accordingly, the motor housing (i.e., the recess 53 in Figure 2) occupied by the motor 21 must be sized to have a volume within 60% of the internal space for the centrifugal fan to make the apparatus thin. in a whole and of small size while it works efficiently to diffuse a chemical.
This ratio, 60%, of space occupancy of the motor housing (i.e., the recess 53 in Figure 2) should preferably be approximate. Next, an explanation is given regarding a second form of implementation of the present invention. With reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, there is shown a housing body 101 of the apparatus having a chemical receptor (chemical cartridge) 102, a fan 103 and a motor 104 disposed therein. what with the fan 103 rotated by the motor 104 is sucked air through the air inlet mouths 105 into the chemical receptacle 102 and impinges on the chemical receptacle 102 having a body impregnated with chemical impregnated with a chemical that is a component of control of harmful insects. The air that drags into it such as chemical product from the body impregnated with chemical in the chemical receptacle 102 is discharged through a first air discharge nozzle 106 and a second air discharge nozzle 107 to the outside of the body 101 of the housing. When the apparatus is used with the housing body 101 placed and carried by the user, the air containing the harmful insect control chemical component or product is discharged both through the first air discharge mouth 106 upwards as through the second air discharge mouth 107 downwards. Each of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 are in the form of an inclined hole having a radial length and with an inlet 110 that is further in and open to the fan 103 and a outlet 111 that is further out and open on an external face 101a of body 101 of the housing. In each of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107, the external outlet 101 is defined with its lateral exit and exit side hole edges Illa and 111b while the internal entry 110 is defined with its upstream and downstream side entry hole edges 110a and 110b. In each of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107, an upstream side guide face 112 connects the edge 110a of the upstream side entry hole in the internal inlet 110 and the edge Illa of the upstream side outlet hole to each other while a downstream side guide face 113 connects the edge 110b of the downstream side entry hole and the edge 111b of the downstream side outlet hole to each other. In each of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107, the upstream side guide face is inclined so that the edge Illa of the upstream side outlet hole is downstream of the edge 110a of the upstream side entry hole, the guide face 112 preferably being arcuate. At each of the first discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 the downstream side guide face 113 is inclined so that the edge 111b of the downstream side exit hole is downstream of the edge 110b of the downstream inlet hole, the guide face 113 preferably being arc. The edge 110a of the upstream side internal bore in the first air discharge port 110 (for example the upstream side air discharge nozzle) and the edge 110b of the downstream side internal bore in the second discharge nozzle air 107 (for example, the downstream side air discharge port) are preferably close to, and more preferably also act as at the edge 110b of the downstream side inlet opening in the second air discharge mouth 107 and the edge 110a of the upstream side entry hole in the first air discharge mouth 110, respectively.
In the present application, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" are used in relation to the direction in which the fan 103 is rotated. Also, the term "inclined" is used to indicate that it is inclined with respect to an address radial. In other words, the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 are each in the form of a hole inclined with respect to a direction of rotation of the fan. With the composition described above, rotation of the fan 103 causes air to forcefully exit through the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 as indicated by the arrows a and b. Thus, when the apparatus is used with the housing body 101 attached to a user's waist, air containing a harmful insect control component is forced out towards its head and feet. Since the harmful insect control component is allowed to reach the head and feet quickly, it is possible to protect the user from harmful insects immediately after the device begins to be used. Reference is now made to specific configurations of apparatus components.
The body 101 of the housing of the apparatus comprises a base component 120 and a cover component 121 removably attached thereto and is provided with a chamber 122 for the ventilator, a chamber 123 for the chemical and a chamber 124 for a motor. The chamber 122 accommodating the fan is round, in which a fan 103 is rotatably mounted. The chamber 122 accommodating the fan has a round peripheral face into which the first air discharge mouth 106 and the second air discharge port 107 open, to their respective internal inlets 110. Communicating with the chamber 122 for the fan , the chamber 123 for the chemical is opposite and defined with the lid component 121, the lid component 121 being formed with the air inlets 105. The chamber 124 accommodating the motor is formed in the base component 120 opening on its rear face 120a and is divided from the chamber 122 which accommodates the fan by a wall of the base component 120, through which the output shaft 104a of a motor 104 is passed through projecting inside the chamber 122 that accommodates the fan in which it is coupled to the fan 103. Also in the base component 120 there is a section 126 that accommodates the battery that is formed so as not to open the chamber 122 that it accommodates the fan and also does not overlap with the chamber 124 that accommodates the motor in the direction in its thicknesses. The section 126 that accommodates the battery is formed in the base component 120 as a recess open to its rear face 120 and spatially continuous with the chamber 124 that accommodates the engine. In this section 126 that accommodates the battery, typically in two compartments thereof disposed as shown through the chamber 124 accommodating the motor, two battery cells 127 are accepted, respectively. With this battery of these batteries 127, the motor 104 is energized and driven. With the body 101 of the housing constructed as mentioned above, its thickness H can be minimized since the battery 127 and the motor 104 should no longer overlap in their thickness direction. In addition, the chamber 124 that accommodates the motor and the section that accommodates the battery (recesses or compartments) that are open on the rear face 120a of the base component 120 may be with its cover or covers for closure. The housing body 101 is also provided in its base component 120 with a hang loop 128 and a hanging hole 129. The hang loop 128 as shown in FIG. 7 allows the body 101 of the housing to be hung in a hanging utensil 130 which in turn may be linked to or attached by means of a clip to a user's belt or the like in the use of the apparatus. The hanging utensil 130 as shown in Figure 10 has at one end thereof a hook 131 which fits with the hanging loop 128 to engage the body 101 of the housing in the hanging utensil 130., which has at its other end another hook 132 that can be placed inside the hole 129. With the hook 132 placed in the hole 121 as shown in Figure 7, therefore, the implement 130 when oriented to be as it is. indicates with the imaginary line with the hook 131 brought into contact with a support plane such as a table can also be used to support the body 101 of the housing, i.e. with the apparatus placed therein. Of course, the apparatus can also be used with the rear face 120a of the base component 120 placed on such support surface. The chemical receptacle 102 as shown in Fig. 11 comprises a round receptacle 104 of concave shape with its one open surface and has a body 141 impregnated with concave shaped chemical with its one open side and has a body 141 impregnated with concave shaped chemical product loaded in this round receptacle 140 and a round lid 142 placed on receptacle 140. Here, round receptacle 104 and round lid 142 are formed with air passages 140 a and air passages 142a, respectively. The body 141 impregnated with chemical is a carrier of chemical in the form of a disc similar to a thin sheet or impregnated with a chemical. The round receptacle 140 is placed on the annular recess 143 formed in a front face 120b of the base component 120 so as to fit with and be carried by it. As mentioned above, the chemical receptacle 102 using a body 141 integrated with chemical in the form of a carrier similar to a sheet impregnated with a harmful insect control component is thin and can cause the body 101 of the housing of the device is of small thickness H. Reference is now made to further details of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107. With reference to FIG. 8, the fan 103 has its outer peripheral face 103a which is preferably spaced from the edge 110a of the upstream side inlet hole at a distance A between 0.1 mm and 5 mm.
The fan 103 has its center 103b which is preferably spaced from the edge 110a of the upstream side entry hole at a distance R having a relation: r = 1.05 x R ~ 2.5 x R where r is the distance between the center 103b of the fan 103 and the edge Illa of the upstream side outlet hole. This converges the wind flows produced by rotation of the fan 103 so that it efficiently converges in the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 (through these flow paths), thereby making the air that contains control component of harmful insects is forcibly discharged through them. That is, although it is convenient on the one hand that the distance A approaches A = 0 infinitely, on the other hand if A < 0.1 mm then it becomes difficult to control the accuracy of the components with which the apparatus is made. Then, an inaccuracy will produce an interference between the fan 103 and the edge of the upstream side inlet hole, which can only be avoided with a significant additional cost which then is required to achieve due accuracy. On the contrary, if A < 5 mm, the wind produced by the fan 103 will then tend to be driven less towards the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 instead will pass around the regions of distance A and will circulate almost inside the camera 122 that accommodates the fan. Then, the force of the wind will be lost with a consequent loss of diffusion efficiency. Likewise, if r < 1.05 x R, then the width of the first air discharge nozzle 106 and the second air discharge nozzle 107 will become so small that the wind produced by the fan 103 while passing through them suffers a loss of Pressure. On the contrary, if r > 2.5 x R, then the width of the first air discharge nozzle 106 and the second air discharge nozzle 107 will become so large that the wind produced by the fan 103 suddenly spreads there, losing its pressure again with a consequent loss of diffusion efficiency. Here, the term "width of the first air discharge nozzle 106 and second air discharge nozzle 107" is used to mean the radial distance between the internal inlet 110 and the external outlet 111. While the first outlet nozzle air 106 and second air discharge port 107 are typically constructed as mentioned above to have an identical air resistance to discharge an identical air stream therethrough so that an identical amount of the insect control component harmful can be emitted towards both the user's head and the region of the feet, it may be convenient depending on the place of use to emit more of the same towards one of these regions than towards the other. Then, the air resistance to a selected one and an air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 can be made smaller than that of the other to cause the air to carry more amount of insect control component. harmful to be emitted through the selected air discharge mouth to the outside air. Alternatively, a third air discharge mouth may further be formed in the base component 120 through which air containing the harmful insect control component is caused to be emitted upward or downward. For example, in a modification shown in Figure 12, a first air discharge port 106, a second air discharge port 107 and a third air discharge port 108 can be formed angularly spaced from each other at an angle of 120 ° in a vertical plane so that the air that is emitted through the first air discharge nozzle 106, the second air discharge nozzle 107 and the third air discharge nozzle 108 upwards, downward and obliquely upwards as indicated by arrows a, b and c, respectively. This modification therefore allows the harmful insect control component to be emitted upwards. If the apparatus is designed to cause the damaging insect control component to be emitted further down, the third air discharge port 108 may be arranged and configured to discharge air obliquely downward. For example, the apparatus can take a position vertically opposite to that shown in Figure 12. While only the first air discharge nozzle 106 and the second air discharge nozzle 107 or the first air discharge nozzle 106 , the second air discharge port 107 and the third air discharge port 108 are shown provided, the apparatus especially when designed for use placed on the waist can be formed with a subsidiary mouth or air discharge ports to direct air laterally to it where the harmful insect control component can become deficient so that air is emitted in all directions, even up and down. For example, the subsidiary air discharge ports 109 facing laterally to the right side and the left side may be formed in a second modification shown in FIG. 13. Such a subsidiary air discharge port 109 is substantially identical in shape but it is greater in air resistance than the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107 mentioned above. For example, it is less open in the direction of rotation of the fan and less in the amount of air discharged and less energetic than the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107. Thus, the sizes in the rotation of the fan between the edge 110a of the upstream side entry hole and the edge 110b of the downstream side entry hole and between the edge Illa of the upstream side outlet hole and the edge 111b of the side exit hole downstream in the subsidiary air discharge port 109 are smaller than those of the first air discharge port 106 and the second air discharge port 107. As this allows the air containing the harmful insect control component to be discharged laterally to the right side and the left side as indicated by the arrows d and e, the harmful insect control component can be emitted laterally to the user's waist, as well as towards the user's head and feet.
One or two such subsidiary air discharge ports 109 may be provided on only one side or both sides to the left and right of the user's waist. In effect, there should be no limitation imposed on the number of subsidiary air discharge ports as mentioned above. The total number of air discharge nozzles is preferably at most six, including two main air discharge nozzles on the up side and the down side (first air discharge nozzle 106 and a second air discharge nozzle). air 107) or three main air discharge nozzles on three sides (first air discharge nozzle 106, second air discharge nozzle 107 and third air discharge nozzle 108) and one or more subsidiary air discharge nozzles 109 . This will be enough to cover harmful insect control effects in lateral directions and more than that will only weaken the air power up and down. To prevent the entry of contaminants through the first air discharge port 106, the second air discharge port 107 and the third air discharge port 108 and the subsidiary air discharge ports 109, a plurality of plates can to be provided for these air discharge ports, which are preferably oriented horizontally parallel to the air currents and mutually spaced apart at a distance of 1 to 2 mm. Each of said plates preferably of rectangular shape, elliptical or in the form of a drop of water or any other form that does not obstruct the wind currents. The chemical for use in the present invention may be an insecticide against mites, a repellent of pests or harmful insects, an insecticide, or a retardant of pest development or suction inhibitor, and must be volatile. Such chemicals, if used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorous chemicals and others may be listed, of which the pyrethroid chemicals They can be perfectly used since they are in general of high security. In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin, and profluthrin which are highly active and which in a small amount have efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small.
The carrier similar to a sheet used as impregnated with a chemical in the present invention is illustratively made with a porous paper, fabric, woven or non-woven fabric or network material. Taking into account its stability when placed, it is desirable that the body impregnated with chemical for use be firmly retained by a receptacle and its lid or lining of a portion, for example, an outer peripheral portion of the body impregnated with chemical similar to a sheet with a resin or similar. The receptacle and lid can be composed of a material such as polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyacetal, nylon, acrylic, ABS, paper, AS or metal. Furthermore, considering its portability, it is convenient that the carrier be a thin sheet having a thickness of 2 to 5 mm, and an area of 700 to 3000 mm2. Especially, the non-woven fabric is suitable, preferably of a mass per unit area of 10 g / m2 and more preferably 20 to 50 g / m2. If it exceeds 100 g / m2, then the body impregnated with chemical will be too large in air resistance so that the wind produced by the fan passes and diffuses the chemical evenly. Conversely, if it is less than 10 g / m2, the chemical in the amount that can be retained in this chemical carrier will be too little and soon there will be insufficient supply to justify its manufacture. The fan can be a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan, a radial fan or turbo fan. The fan must be rotated at a rotation speed of preferably 500 to 4000 turns per minute and more preferably 700 to 3000 turns per minute. The centrifugal fan must have a diameter preferably of 20 to 100 mm and preferably of 30 to 60 mm. It should preferably have a height of 2 to 50 mm and more preferably 5 to 20 mm. The fan, especially a sirocco fan or radial fan should preferably have a number of blades from 10 to 50. The power supply for driving the fan can be illustratively of one or more dry batteries such as alkaline dry batteries of size AAAA; AAA, AA, C and D, dry manganese batteries of size AAAA, AAA, AA, C and D, a rectangular-shaped alkaline battery (9 volt) lithium batteries and lithium button cells that can be used alone or in combination. A plurality of such dry cells can be used connected in series or in parallel. A secondary battery preferably provided with an alternating current adapter for recharging by an alternating current domestic power supply may also be used. The body 101 of the housing can be linked to the user not only by means of the hanger as shown, but in any other way such as by means of a clip in which the appliance is hung in a hole formed through a belt. or strip that can be passed to link the device on a region of the feet, waist or arms of the user. The body 101 of the housing may be provided with a pushbutton to activate or deactivate the energization of the apparatus and also with an LED indicator, neon lamp or a type of liquid crystal to indicate that the apparatus is being energized. In addition, the fan itself can be made visible from the outside so that when it is seen that the fan is spinning it indicates that the apparatus is being energized. It should also be advantageous to have both the battery and the body impregnated with the chemical in the chemical receptacle complete their supplies simultaneously. Then, the battery of the chemical receptacle can be mounted on a cartridge so that they can be replaced as a body, thereby improving the convenience of the apparatus in maintenance.
On the contrary, if the battery and the body impregnated with chemical product are made to not simultaneously complete their supply, then it would be convenient to make the respective signaling points of the battery and the body impregnated with chemical in the chemical receptacle indicated by being presented individually.
While the body 101 of the housing (base component) 120) is shown on its peripheral region forming the camera 122 that accommodates the fan that is of greater thickness to form the air discharge ports, this is not a limitation. For example, a region of the body 101 of the housing that is external to the chamber 122 accommodating the fan is formed with a plurality of guide vanes circumferentially spaced apso that the interstices between these guide vanes form discharge nozzles. of air . A camera or cameras accommodating substitute batteries can be provided in a region or side regions of the body 101 of the housing and the base body 120. While the foregoing description implies that the user is primarily a human being, the term is thus applicable to a pet such as a dog or cattle such as a cow. In this case, a region facing the back of it from its head to the tail or from its face to the belly and hind legs is an area of interest to which the harmful insect control component will be directed. Next, an explanation is given regarding a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus according to this embodiment of the invention includes a chemical (chemical cidge) 201 and an air blower 202 receptacle. further a main housing body 205 having an air intake mouth 203 through which air is drawn by the air blower 202 and an air discharge mouth 204 through which air entraining therein a Volatile chemical product from receptacle 201 of chemical product is emitted; a power supply housing body 208 separated from the body 205 of the main housing and containing an electrical power source 207 for the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205; and an electrical cable connecting between the main housing body 205 and the power supply housing body 208 to energize the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205 from the electric power source 207 in the body 208 of the housing of electrical power.
More specifically, the main housing body 205 has in general the shape of a circular cylinder that is axially short. It forms the air inlet mouth which is mostly open upwards while forming the air discharge mouth 204 which is open in the form of a plurality of slits in one of its side faces. It should be noted here that the amount of such air discharge ports and the size and shape of each such air inlet and outlet port are not limited to those shown and described. The main housing body 205 has inside and below it positioned the air blower 202. The air blower 202 comprises a motor 201 and a sirocco fan 212 as a type of centrifugal fan in which the motor 211 has its axis of output connected to fan 212.
The sirocco fan 212 has a number of inclined vanes 213 circumferentially equidistantly spaced from each other, which are rotated with the motor 211 to draw air through the air inlet mouth 203 in the upper pof the sirocco fan 212 to cause the Aspirated air flows centrifugally inside the main housing body 205 and emanates through the discharge port 204 of the side face of the main housing body 205.
However, the use here of the sirocco fan 212 which is a type of centrifugal fan such as the air blower 202 is not a limitation, but any other suitable fan such as, for example, a helical fan having an impeller in shape of a paddle wheel around its geometric axis can be used. When such a helical fan is used as the blower fan, the main housing body 205 can be formed at its bottom with an air passage hole that serves as an air inlet mouth and can use the mouth 203 mentioned above as an air discharge mouth. Adjacent to the air discharge mouth may be, as mentioned below, disposed the chemical receptacle 201 loaded with a volatile chemical so that the air drawn by the fan of the blower through the air inlet in the bottom pass through the chemical receptacle 201 into the air discharge mouth through the blower fan and upon entering it the volatilizing chemical exits to the outside. The chemical receptacle 201 loaded with the chemical and disposed as shown within the main housing body 205 has a region of the main housing body 205 that defines the air inlet mouth 203 at its top so that it is the air blower 202. As shown in Fig. 17, the chemical receptacle 201 is round and of small thickness and comprises an upper component 214 and a lower component 215 that accept between them a chemical carrier (impregnated body) with chemical) and are shod with each other. The upper component 214 and the lower component 215 are formed with large openings 217 and large openings 218, respectively, through which air passes to cause the chemical contained in the chemical carrier 216 to volatilize. The volatile chemical with which the chemical carrier is to be impregnated in the chemical receptacle 201 is a chemical that serves as an insecticide, repellent, aromatic product, deodorant, germicide or fungicide. Such chemicals, used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the chemicals, pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorus and other chemicals may be listed, of which the chemical pyrethroid chemicals they can be preferably used since they are generally of high security. In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin and profluthrin which are highly active and which in a small amount have efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small. Also, the chemical receptacle 201 and the chemical carrier 216 are limited to the described types but can be suitable receptacles and carriers for retaining a volatile chemical. For example, the chemical carrier 216 may not only be in the form of a sheet, but may also be in the form of a net, a lattice, a honeycomb, a flocculate, a sponge, and may be constituted by a large amount of water. particles that are impregnated with a chemical. Furthermore, it is not necessary that the chemical receptacle 201 be one in which a chemical carrier 201 impregnated with a chemical is held, but can be one which itself is made with a hard sponge or foamed body and impregnated with a chemical, which in itself retains the chemical inside. Such a chemical receptacle 201 may be of any suitable form and of any suitable material as desired. The main housing body 205 is formed on its inner face with an accessory 219 for linking it to a mounting element 206 which allows the main housing body 205 to be mounted on an object in which the accessory 219 here has the shape of a thin and elongated hole disposed in its depth through the total length of the main housing body 205. Then, the mounting element 206 which makes it possible to link the main housing body 205 to an object is linked to the fitting 219 having a thin hole passing through the main housing body 205. The mounting element 206 here has the shape of a flexible and elongated strap 221 that with a buckle on one end can be placed on the wrist of a user. This belt allows the main housing body 205 for the blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the invention to be placed on a wrist of a user or the like for use. The mounting element 206 shown by the belt 221 is not limited to what has been described, but can have a length comprised between several centimeters that allows it to be placed around a wrist of the user or similar to one or two meters suitable for placement around the a user's waist or any supporting object and thus may be of a length as desired. You can also have a variety of shapes that include a belt, a sash and a rope. Its material is not limited but can be any suitable material such as synthetic resin, leather, cloth, textile and rubber. It is not necessary for the linking element used for the strap 221 to be a buckle 222 as shown but it may be in the form of a button, the shape of a hook, the shape of a plug-in strap, a hook and loop fastener ( for example, "magic tape" [trademark]) or similar. Furthermore, it is not necessary that the mounting element 206 be limited to a belt 221 as shown but can take the form of a belt to be worn around a leg, a hook 223 for engaging a belt used in a trouser or in a pocket as shown in figure 18, a snap shape or clip to be linked directly to the clothing. A body 208 of the power supply housing includes the power supply 207 for the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205 and is separated from the main housing body 205. The power source 207 included in the body of The power supply housing 208 is a battery 224. The body 208 of the power supply housing is a strip of a size that is the minimum to accept the battery 224 that is required, for example, comprising two dry cells. The battery 224, if it is not a battery or dry batteries, can be a rechargeable battery. The separation of the electric power housing body 208 from the main housing body 205 allows to make the. body 208 of the power supply housing is larger so that the larger battery 224 and dry batteries 224 in greater quantity can be used in the power supply body. This in turn allows to increase the voltage that can be applied to the main housing body 205 in order to make the output power of the air blower 202, for example, the power of the driven fan, be finely adjustable while making the The blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the present invention is usable for a prolonged period of time. The body of the power supply housing 208 is also adapted so that it can have a mounting element 206 attached thereto which allows it to be linked to an object. The mounting element 206 can here also be a belt 221, a hook 223, a clip or clip as mentioned above. The coupling cable 209 carries the main housing body 205 to the power supply housing body 208 to connect them together is an electrical cable for electrically energizing the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205 from the battery 224 as the source of power supply 207 in the power supply housing body 208. The connection cable 209 should preferably be as small in diameter as possible. The connecting cable 209 can optionally be provided in the middle or at one of its ends with a winding mechanism to make its length adjustable. In figure 19, the connection cable 209 is also shown provided with a mounting element 206 that allows it to be linked to an object. Here the mounting element 206 is a linking component 225 which can be a hook-and-loop fastening tape (for example, "a magic tape" - trademark) attached to the connecting cable 209 in its middle and having surface irregularities to allow the component to adhere to clothes or the like. Of course, the linking component 225 is not limited to this particular example, but it can be a safety snap or clothes pin or any other suitable means that can cause the connecting cable 209 to adhere to clothing or the like . The connecting cable 209 may be adapted to be itself detachable from the main housing body 205 or the power supply housing body 208 or both. With the connection cable 209 made detachable from the main housing body 205 and from the electric power housing body 208, as shown in FIG. 20, the main housing body 205 can be provided on its side face with a male tab 226. which projects from the same and the electric power housing body 208 may be provided on its side face with a female socket 227 recessed therein. Then, the connection cable 20 can be provided at one end of a socket 228 and at its other end of a male tab 229. This allows the main housing body 205 and the power supply housing body 208 that are normally connected to each other by means of the connecting cable 209 for the use of the apparatus to be used in the condition in which they are directly connected depending on the particular circumstances of use. In an example of use of the chemical diffuser apparatus of the blower type constructed as mentioned above, the main housing body 205 is placed on a wrist, leg or waist portion of a user's body by means of the belt 221. On the other hand, the body of the power supply housing 208 is accepted in a pocket of the wearer's clothing or trousers or is attached to the user's waist by means of another strap. 221. Then, the main housing body 205 and the power supply housing body 208 are connected to each other by means of the connection cable 209 and electrical current is passed to the main housing body 205 from the power supply housing body 208 by means of the connecting cable 209 to operate the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205. Then, the air blower 202 in the main housing body 205 sucks air through the air ports 203 and causes the sucked air passes through the chemical receptacle 201 included in the main housing body 205 and that air entraining in the same volatilizing chemical from the chemical receptacle 201 emanates and diffuses laterally to the outside through the mouths of air discharge. With a chemical diffuser apparatus of the blower type which according to the aforementioned comprises a main housing body 205 with which air sucked by an air blower 202 is emanated together with a volatilizing chemical product from a receptacle 201 of chemical product and entrained therein, a power supply housing body 208 spaced apart from the main housing body 205 to accommodate a battery 224 such as an electrical power supply 207 for the air blower 202 and a connecting cable 209 for connecting the body of main housing 205 and the power supply housing body 208 together, the main housing body 205 is made small and light in size by virtue of the fact that the body and the power supply housing 208 which contains the battery 224 as the power supply 207 which is the heaviest of the components of the apparatus that is made separate from the AC body Main housing 205 and that the main housing body 205 is only allowed to contain the chemical receptacle 201 and the air blower 202. This allows a user, for example, to position the body of the main housing 205 of the air diffuser apparatus 205. blower-type chemical product of the present invention on one of its wrists or the like using a strap 221 and arranging the power supply housing body 208 in a pocket of its vestment and then using the apparatus comfortably without feeling displeased with the size and weight of the device. Also, as the main housing body 205 and the power supply housing body 208 which are separated from each other are used in the condition that they are connected to each other by means of the connecting cable 209, even if the housing body 205 or the power supply housing body 208 in use will fail to disengage from the body of the user in which they are placed, the connection cable 209 that couples them together prevents them from being lost. Also, by making the connecting cable 209 removable from the main housing body 205 and the power supply body 208, the connecting cable 209 is allowed in one use of the apparatus after the main housing body 205 or the housing body. 208 is placed on the body of the user is connected to it, thereby facilitating its placement on the body of the user. Further, by providing the main housing body 205, the power supply housing body 208, the connection cable 209 or each of both or all of them with a mounting element 206, for example, a belt 221, a hook 223 , a snap or a clip, this allows them to be placed on any support object as desired and allows the blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the invention to be easily placed on any desired part of the user's body or on any another support object. The blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the particular forms of implementation illustrated above. For example, although the battery 224 contained in the power source 207 in the body 208 of the power supply housing is illustrated as comprising a dry cell or dry cells, it may be a solar cell or solar cells. If a solar cell or solar cells were used as the power source 207 or the battery 224, the blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the present invention can be used as shown in Figure 21 by adhering the housing body of the power supply 208 to the visor of a cap worn by the user or a shoulder or the like of the user while placing the main casing body 205 on a user's wrist by means of the strap 221. Likewise, the chemical diffuser apparatus Blower type of the present invention can be used not only by a human being. For example, it can be used on a pet, such as a dog. In this case, as shown in Figure 22, the main housing body 205 can be placed on a collar 231 of the pet by means of the mounting element 206 such as a hook and the body of the power supply housing 208 can be placed on a doll or the like of its owner. Then, a connecting cable 209 running between the main housing body 205 and the electric power housing body 208 can be put together with a dog strap 232 running between the collar 231 of the dog and a hand of the owner for Form a strap with built-in cable for use with a dog or pet. Also, although in the implementation forms described above, the mounting element 206 is shown as necessarily linked to the main housing body 205, this does not constitute a limitation. A mounting element 206 as described may be linked to each of the main housing body 205, the power supply housing body 208 and the connection cable 209, or one or both of both. It is also possible to provide a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus of the present invention which omits the mounting element 206. Also, although in the embodiments described above, the main housing body 205 is shown having the chemical receptacle 201 disposed adjacent to the air inlet ports 203, the chemical receptacle 201 may be disposed adjacent the air discharge ports 204 when provided with a suitable mounting member therefor. In addition, it is possible to provide a chemical receptacle 201 for each of the air inlet mouth 203 and the air discharge mouth 204. It is also possible to arrange a chemical receptacle 201 on an internal peripheral side or an external peripheral side of the sirocco fan 212 and then integrate the chemical receptacle 201 with the air blower 202, or make the sirocco fan 212 in the blower of air 202 carry a chemical and make it removable, or link or dispose a receptacle of chemical 201 in the form of a porous sheet in front of a large number of vanes 213 in the sirocco fan 212 and make it removable. While referring to Figure 25, a chemical cartridge of the present invention will be as an example of its use, described as being applied to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus that uses a chemical cartridge to diffuse a chemical product. at an atmosphere, it will be understood that the present invention when applied is not limited to this particular use. As shown in FIG. 25, the main housing body 301 is provided with an air blower 302 and has a chemical cartridge 303 removably attached thereto in which a fan 304 of the air blower 302 is rotated. with a motor 305 for air to pass through the chemical cartridge 303. The main housing body 301 includes a base component 310 and a cover component 311, is formed with a blower mounting section 312 and a battery acceptance section 313 and has an air inlet section 314 and an air discharge section 315. The air blower 302 has a fan 304 and an engine 305 mounted in a housing 306 provided in the blower mounting section 312. The housing 306 has an air inlet port 306a communicating with the air inlet section 314 and also has an air discharge port (not shown) communicating the air discharge section 315.
A battery 307 comprising two dry cells is shown and is linked to a battery acceptance section 313. The lid component 311 is connected to the body of the main housing 310 so that it can be opened and closed, whereby the opening of the lid component 311 allows the chemical cartridge 303 and the battery 307 are removed and placed. The chemical cartridge 303 is adapted to accept a chemical carrier or impregnated body 320 in the form of a porous or air permeable sheet and liquid absorbent impregnated with a chemical, and has a retainer or retainer receptacle 321 for retaining the 320 body impregnated with chemical. In other words, as the body impregnated with chemical 320, which is in the form of a sheet, is liquid absorbent and is of stiffness so small that it can not sustain itself and if it is held directly by one hand, a chemical in it it can adhere to the hand, it is maintained along a portion thereof with the retainer receptacle 321 to cause air to pass through other portions thereof. Configured and arranged in this manner, the chemical cartridge 303 can be made thin because the chemical carrier or impregnated body 320 is here thin and the holding receptacle 321 can be made thin. Therefore, the use of such a chemical cartridge 303 allows to have a thinner type blower chemical diffuser apparatus, as described. The retaining receptacle 321 includes a containment section 321a containing an upper face and a lower face of the body impregnated with chemical 320 from above and below and a section 321b of air circulation through which air flows. Between the containment section 321a and the body impregnated with chemical 320 there is formed a space 321c, which is open to the outside through the vent section 321d formed in the containment section 321a so that air can be passed through the space 321c. Preferably, the containment section 321a is formed with a recess where the lower face of the body impregnated with chemical 320 is contacting and the space 321c is formed between this recess and the lower face of the body impregnated with chemical 320. The containment section 321a where the upper face of the body impregnated with chemical 320 is contacted is formed with vent hole constituting the vent section 32Id and through which the space 321c (recess) is open to the outside.
Built in this way, the holding receptacle 321 can retain the body impregnated with chemical 320 in the form of a sheet while maintaining its configuration and can be held with one hand without danger that the chemical can contaminate the hand. Also, while a chemical in a region of the body impregnated with chemical 320 where it is contained by the containment section 321a is not volatilizing with air circulation since air circulation is prevented, the chemical there is still volatilizing at the same time. space 321c and from space 321c to the outside through the air circulation section 321b and in this way is allowed to emanate and diffuse to the ambient atmosphere. While mention is specifically made below the retaining receptacle 321 with reference to its possible shape, it should be understood that this is by way of example only and not limiting thereof. The retention receptacle 321 as shown in Figures 25 to 31 comprises a receptacle body component 330 and a receptacle cap component 340 between which the body 320 impregnated with chemical is contained and retained. The body component of the receptacle 330 has a central support section 331, a peripheral support section 332 spaced apart from and disposed around the central support section 330 and a plurality of intermediate support sections 333 connecting the peripheral support section 332 with the central support section 331 in which a space defined with the central support section 331, the peripheral support section 332 and the intermediate support sections 333 connected to each other by the peripheral support section 332 is open, constituting an air circulation section 334. The central support section 331 has its upper face 331a formed with a recess 335 where the lower face of the body impregnated with chemical 320 is contacted and forming a space 321c in another location where they are opposite to the lower face of the body 320 impregnated with chemical. The intermediate support sections 333 have their upper faces 332a formed with recesses 337 where they are contacting the lower face of the body impregnated with chemical 320, whose recesses communicate between the recess 335 and the annular recess 336, forming the upper faces 333a the space 321c in another place where they are opposite to the inside face of the body 320 impregnated with chemical product. The receptacle lid component 340 has a central containment section 341, a plurality of peripheral containment sections spaced apart and disposed about the central containment section 341 and a plurality of intermediate containment sections 343 that connect the peripheral containment section 342 with the central containment section 341 in which a space defined with the central containment section 341, the peripheral containment section 342 and the intermediate containment sections 343 connected to each other by the peripheral section 342 is open constituting a circulation section of air 344. The central containment section 341 is of identical size to the central support section 331 and has a vent hole 345 opposite the recess 335. The peripheral containment section 342 is of identical size to the peripheral support section 332 and has a vent hole 346 opposite the annular recess 336. The intermediate containment sections 343 are of identical size and shape to the intermediate support sections 333, and the air circulation sections 344 are opposite the air circulation sections 334 so that the air flows evenly through the air. of both air circulation sections 334 and 344. The intermediate containment sections 343 are formed with vents 347 so that they are opposite the recesses 337, respectively.
The body component of the receptacle 330 and the lid component of the receptacle 340 are interconnected in an unlinkable manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the peripheral support section 332 has its external edge raised from its upper face 332 to form a raised rim 332 in the form of a ring in which the body 320 is impregnated with chemical and the component is placed receptacle cap 340. As an alternative to this bonding design, the cap component 340 may be formed with such a raised rim that it may be shod on the outer rim or rim of the peripheral support section 332 to attach the cap component. 340 to the body component of the receptacle 330. As another alternative, the body component of the receptacle 330 and the cap component of the receptacle 340 may be provided with a tang and a hole that can be matched together to link these components together . Also, although in this form of implementation the intermediate support and containment sections 333 and 334 are shown, each, comprising a plurality of radially arranged subsections, only such subsections, if adopted, in the form of a lattice but also can be that each section 333, 343 may, for example, comprise a porous plate or the like. Constructed and arranged in this manner, as mentioned above, the holding receptacle 321 acts to contain and support the body impregnated with chemical 320 supporting and containing a central region thereof with and between the central support section 331 and the containment section. 341, a peripheral region of which with and between the peripheral support section 332 and the containment section 342 and an intermediate region thereof with and between the intermediate support section 333 and the containment section 343. This allows the air circulating through the air circulation sections 334 and 344 pass through the body impregnated with chemical 320. Air is also allowed to circulate through the space 321c formed between the recesses 335, 336 and 337 and the underside of the body impregnated with chemical product 320. Constructed in this way and adapted as mentioned above, the chemical product cartridge 303 is charged to the n the main housing body 301 and in this form of implementation is linked to the upper face of the housing 306. The rotation of the fan 304 causes air to flow through the body 320 impregnated with chemical and the chemical emanates and diffuses to the environmental atmosphere. Also, the product in a region of the body impregnated with chemical 320 that is contained between each pair of support and containment sections is allowed to volatilize in the space 321 and after it is carried there in the circulating air of the holes of venting so that the air that has chemical entrained in it is emitted into the atmosphere as the fan 304 is rotated. Also, with the support sections 331, 332 and 333 formed on the upper faces with the recesses 335 , 336 and 337 to form the space 321c and with the containment sections 341, 342 and 343 formed with the vent holes 345, 346 and 347 to produce the space 321c open to the outside, it is possible to use the recesses 335, 336 and 337 to cause a chemical carrier 320 to be re-impregnated with a chemical. For example, a used chemical cartridge (with a chemical-depleted chemical carrier) 303 is removed from the main casing body 301 and liquid chemical is poured into the vent holes 345, 346 and 347 to supply it and deposit it in recesses 335, 336 and 337.
The liquid chemical deposited in the recesses 335, 336 and 337 is allowed to impregnate the chemical carrier 320 throughout its body to form an unused chemical cartridge impregnated with the chemical. As the liquid chemical loaded in the recess is impregnated in a central region of the chemical carrier 320, the liquid chemical loaded in the annular recess 336 is impregnated in a peripheral region of the chemical carrier 320 and the liquid chemical loaded in the recess 337 for communication is impregnated in an intermediate region of the chemical carrier 320, the carrier of chemical product 320 is impregnated with chemical rapidly throughout your body. Here, a calibrated drip pipettor, a dose ampule, a measured container or a container with a measuring cuvette, or a nozzle can be used to visually verify the supply amount of liquid chemical. Also, as when a chemical is supplied, it is convenient that the delivery time be visually verified, it is convenient to use a body impregnated with chemical product 320 that can be of a known type with an indicator that shows the moment of its exhaustion.
While in the embodiment described above the receptacle body component 330 is shown with three support sections 331, 332 and 333 formed on their upper faces 331a, 332a and 333a with recesses 335, 336 and 337 and the cap component. of receptacle 340 having three containment sections 341, 342 and 343 formed with vent holes 345, 346 and 347, not limiting it and may have only a pair of opposed support and containment sections formed with a recess and a hole of vent, respectively, or two pairs of opposing support and containment sections formed with recesses and vents, respectively. That is, there must be at least a pair of opposing support and containment sections formed with a recess and a vent hole, respectively. For example, in a modification shown in Figures 32 and 33, the peripheral support section 332 in the receptacle body component 330 may have its inner edge bent inwardly to form an annular recess 336 whose cross section has the shape of a V, providing a space 321c therebetween and the underside of the body impregnated with chemical 320. On the other hand, the portions of the peripheral containment section 342 in the lid component of the receptacle 340, for example portions where it continues with the intermediate containment sections, it can be bent inward to form recesses 348. These recesses 348 are formed to provide venting sections 321d therebetween and the raised rim 332 of the receptacle body component 330. While in this case the space 321c is formed below the body impregnated with chemical 320, alternatively it can be formed on or both on and below the body impregnated with chemical product 320. Not only a chemical cartridge 303 according to the present invention is used with a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as described above, but it can also be linked directly to the fan in an air blower and otherwise it can be integrated with the fan. In addition, it may be arranged on the air inlet side or the air outlet side. Likewise, it can be linked in the mouth of blowing of an air conditioner. The chemical that can be impregnated in a carrier of chemical or impregnated body of the present invention can be a control agent of harmful insects (insecticide, repellent, developmental inhibitor, insecticide against mites, insect control essential oil, or similar), an aromatic product, an aromatic deodorant, a deodorant, fungicide, disinfectant or pest repellent, and especially such a chemical must be volatile at a common temperature or air circulation conditions. Such chemicals, used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the chemicals, pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorus and other chemicals may be listed, of which the chemical pyrethroid chemicals they can be preferably used since they are generally of high security. In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin and profluthrin which are highly active and which in a small amount have efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small. The raw materials with which the chemical carrier of the present invention can be formed include natural and chemical fibers, non-woven fabrics (of natural, chemical and carbon fibers), resins (polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride), cloth (woven or knitted to point), paper yarn (pulp, cotton wool, synthetic paper). The material can be a shaped body such as the shape of a sheet, net, honeycomb, or reticulated, a transferring body to maintain its shape when confined, or flocculated or sponge. Of these materials, a material similar to a sheet of non-woven fabric having high air permeability and retention of chemicals is preferred. Next, an explanation is given regarding a fifth form of implementation of the present invention. With reference to Figure 34, a chemical cartridge will be described in another form of the present invention, as an example of its use, applied to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus that uses a chemical cartridge to diffuse a chemical product. to an atmosphere, although this particular use does not constitute a limitation of the invention. As shown in Figure 34, a main housing body 401 is provided with an air blower 402 and has a chemical cartridge 403 removably attached thereto in which a fan 404 and air blower 402 is made rotate via the motor 405 to pass air through the chemical cartridge 403. The main housing body 401 includes a base component 410 and a cover component 411, and is formed with a mounting section of the blower 412 and an acceptance section of the battery 403 and having an air inlet section 414 and an air discharge section 415.
The air blower 402 has a fan 404 and a motor 405 mounted in a housing 406 provided in the blower mounting section 412. The housing 406 has an air inlet port 406a communicating with the air inlet section 414 and also has an air discharge port (not shown) communicating with the air discharge section 415. A battery 407 which is shown comprising two dry cells is linked to the battery acceptance section 413. The lid component 411 is connected to the main housing body 410 so that it can be opened and closed, whereby the opening of the lid component 411 allows the chemical cartridge 403 and the battery to be removed and placed. The chemical cartridge 403 is adapted to accept a chemical carrier or impregnated body 420 in the form of a porous or air permeable sheet and liquid absorbent impregnated with chemical, and has a holding pocket 421 for retaining the body 420 impregnated with chemical. In other words, as the body 420 impregnated with a chemical that has the form of a sheet, it is absorbent of liquid and is of such low rigidity that it can not sustain itself and is taken directly with one hand, a chemical in it may adhere to the hand, and is held along a portion thereof with the holding receptacle 421 to cause air to pass through other portions thereof. The retaining receptacle 421 includes a containment section 421a containing the body 420 impregnated with chemical and the air circulation section 421b through which air flows. The containment section 421a has a recess 421c of liquid accumulation at its center, i.e. in the center of the retention receptacle 421. The recess 406 is formed with a recess 406b in which the retention receptacle 421 is firmly mounted and mounted. . Then, the rotation of the fan 404 causes air to circulate through the body 420 impregnated with chemical and that the chemical emanates and diffuses with the same to the ambient atmosphere. Constructed in this way, as mentioned above, the chemical product cartridge 403 after use, ie with the chemical carrier 420 depleted of chemical product, is removed from the main casing body 401, and liquid chemical is supplied to the recess 421c of accumulation of liquid and it is accumulated there. The liquid chemical accumulated in the liquid accumulation recess 421c is allowed to impregnate the chemical carrier 420 progressively over its entire body to form an unused chemical cartridge impregnated with the chemical. Therefore, this is a chemical cartridge that can be used repeatedly by re-supplying it with a chemical every time it is used up. Since the chemical cartridge 403 is seated opposite the fan 404 with its center opposite the center of the fan 404, the center of the holding receptacle 421 is opposite the center of the fan 404. Thus, as long as it is positioned in the center of the holding receptacle 421, recess 421c of accumulation of liquid in the use of the apparatus is in an area where the air circulating by rotation of the fan is scarce, and has little obstruction, allowing almost everything to pass through the body 420 impregnated with chemical product and thus be effectively consumed to diffuse chemical into the atmosphere with little loss of the output from the air blower 402. That is, the liquid accumulation recess 421c as shown in Figure 34 is positioned so that is opposite the center of the fan 404 coupled to the rotation axis 405a of the motor 405 where the air flowing from the fan 404 alc at least about the same and substantially not obstructed by the presence of recess 421c of liquid accumulation.
Also, the chemical cartridge 403 can be made thin because the carrier or chemical or impregnated body 420 is thin here and the holding receptacle 321 can be made thin. Reference is now made to a specific form of retention receptacle 421. The retention receptacle, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, comprises a receptacle body component 430 and a receptacle cap component 440 between which the body impregnated with chemical 420 is contained and retained. The receptacle body component 430 has a central support section 431, a peripheral support section 432 spaced apart from and disposed about the central support section 430 and a plurality of connection support sections 433 connecting the peripheral support section 432 with the central support section 431 in which a defined space with the central support section 431, the peripheral support section 432 and the adjoining connection support sections 433 connected to each other by the peripheral support section 433 are open constituting an air circulation section 434. The central support section 431 has its support face 431a formed with a recess 435.
The lid component of the receptacle 440 has a central containment section 431, a plurality of peripheral containment sections 442 spaced apart and disposed about the central containment section 441 and a plurality of distal containment sections 443 that connect the peripheral containment section. 442 with the central containment section 441 wherein a space defined with the central containment section 441, the peripheral containment section 442 and the adjoining connecting containment sections 443 connected to each other by the peripheral section 442 are open constituting a section of airflow 444. The central containment section 441 is of identical size to the central support section 431 and has a supply nozzle 445 opposite the recess 435, the supply nozzle 445 and the recess 435 constituting the accumulation recess 421c. liquid. The peripheral containment section 442 is of identical size to the peripheral support section 432. The connecting containment sections 443 are of identical shape and size to the connecting support sections 433, and the air circulation sections 444 are opposite to the air circulation sections 434 so that air flows evenly through both air circulation sections 434 and 444.
The receptacle body component 430 and the cap component 440 of the receptacle are interconnected in an unlinkable manner. In an illustrated embodiment, the peripheral support section 432 has its external edge raised from its support face 432a to form a raised rim 432b in the shape of a ring in which the body impregnated with chemical 420 is assembled and then the receptacle cap component 440 is mounted. As an alternative to this linking design, the lid component 440 can be formed with a raised rim that can be placed on the outer edge or rim of the peripheral support section 432 to link the lid component 440 to the body component of receptacle 430. Alternatively, the component 430 of the receptacle body and the lid component 440 may be provided with a tang and a hole that can be matched together to link these components together. Also, although in this form of implementation the connecting support section 433 and the containment section 443 are shown, each comprising a plurality of radially arranged sequences, not only may such sequences, if adopted, be in the form of a lattice, but also each section 433, 443 may, for example, comprise a porous plate or the like. Built in this way and arranged as mentioned above, the retaining receptacle 421 acts to contain and support the chemical cartridge 420 by supporting and containing a central region thereof with and between the central support section 431 and the containment section 441, a peripheral region therein with and between the peripheral support section 432 and the containment section 442 and an intermediate region thereof with and between the connecting support section 433 and the containment section 443. This allows the air circulating through the air circulation sections 434 and 444 to pass through the body impregnated with chemical 420. In this way, a chemical cartridge 403 (with a chemical product carrier exhausted from product. chemical) is removed from the main housing body 401 and liquid chemical is poured into the supply mouth 445 to supply and store the recess 435 or the recess 435 and the supply mouth 445 therewith. The liquid chemical stored in the recess 435 is allowed to impregnate the chemical carrier 320 over its entire body to form an unused chemical cartridge impregnated with the chemical.
The depth of the liquid accumulation recess 421c can be determined depending on the amount of chemical to be delivered and does not have a particular feed. If the lower face of the sheet and the upper face of the recess 435 are contiguous with each other, the depth can then be such that the chemical liquid product supplied is by its surface tension with the body of the sheet. If the depth is excessive, then some liquid may be left without contacting the sheet. Next, a first modification of the aforementioned chemical cartridge is mentioned. As shown in Figures 36 and 37, the central support section 431 of the body component of the receptacle 430 is made larger than the central containment section 441 of the lid component of the receptacle 440 with the recess 435 of larger size than the central containment section 441. The central containment section of the cover component 440 is made thicker than the connecting section 443 so that it protrudes downward beyond each connecting section 443 to press the body impregnated with chemical 420 within the recess 435 therewith. This helps so that the chemical placed in the recess 435 permeates the body of the sheet.
If the sheet is positioned to be close to or in contact with the base of the recess 435, as shown in Figure 37, the depth of the recess 421c is determined depending on the amount of chemical to be delivered and is not necessary since the chemical as soon as it is supplied will begin to infiltrate around. The preceding implementation form and its first modification mentioned above are particularly advantageous if the body impregnated with chemical 420 is small. If it is large, it is convenient to form a recess of liquid accumulation in the peripheral section also so that the chemical can be supplied both to the central section and to the peripheral section so that it infiltrates both of the central section towards the peripheral section and from the peripheral section to the central section. This is effective to cause the chemical to rapidly infiltrate into the entire body of a sheet and thus is advantageous in the manufacture of such products. For example, in a second modification as shown in Figures 38 and 39, in the receptacle body component 431 the central support section 431 is formed with the recess 435 and the peripheral section 432 is formed with a peripheral recess 436 that it is for example to cancel.
The central containment section 441 in the cover component 440 is formed with the supply mouth 445. Each connection section 443 is disposed outwardly to project from each peripheral containment section 442, forming an extension 443a in contact with the raised edge. 432b while providing a separation between the peripheral containment section 442 and the raised edge 432b to form a peripheral supply nozzle 446. A peripheral recess 436 formed in this manner which causes it to act as a liquid accumulation recess 421c in the peripheral section . In this second modification, the peripheral containment section 442 is made thicker than the central containment section 441 for pressing a peripheral edge of the body impregnated with chemical 420 within the peripheral recess 436 to help the chemical infiltrate inwardly. of the body impregnated with chemical 420.
Also, in a third modification as shown in Figures 40 and 41, the peripheral support section 432 of the receptacle body component 430 is bent downward so that a peripheral recess 436 is formed by the bent peripheral support section 432. and the raised edge 432b. The connecting sections 443 of the lid component 440 are also bent downward so that the peripheral containment section 442 conforms to the bent peripheral support section 432. This presses a peripheral edge of the body impregnated with chemical 420 against the section of peripheral support 432. Portions of peripheral containment section 442 of lid component 440, for example, where it connects to the connecting sections 443, are deformed to form indentations 442a, thereby forming openings between these indentations and the raised edge 432b, respectively, to constitute peripheral supply ports 446. Likewise, a fourth modification according to Shown in Figures 42 and 43, the central containment section 441 of the lid component 440 is formed with a recess 445a facing down which in turn is formed on its upper face with a plurality of small supply holes 445b with it. that the recess 445a facing down and the supply holes 445b constitute a supply port 445 and the supply port 445 and the recess 435 constitute a liquid accumulation recess 421c. The peripheral containment section 442 of the lid component 440 comprises an inner vertical sub-section 448 and an upper planar sub-section 449 defining a downwardly facing recess 446a in which the upper planar sub-section is formed with peripheral holes of supply 446b which together with the downward facing recess 446a constitutes a peripheral supply mouth 446 and the latter and peripheral recess 436 constitute a liquid accumulation recess 421c in the peripheral section. Also, the surface tension of the liquid chemical with the sheet is better possible. For this purpose, the internal base of each of the recesses can be processed by embossing or the like to impart surface irregularities thereto, in order to create small spaces in the form of a grid, or a plurality of raised edges can be provided to form grooves. As mentioned above, to verify visually the supply of a liquid chemical to a recess 421c of liquid accumulation a calibrated drip pipette, a dose ampule, a measured container or a container with a measuring cuvette, or a nozzle is used. . Also, since when supplying a chemical it is convenient that the time of its supply can be verified, it is convenient to use a body 420 impregnated with chemical product that can be of known type with an indicator that shows the moment of its exhaustion. Furthermore, not only a chemical cartridge 403 according to the present invention is used with a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as described above, but it can be linked directly to the fan in an air blower and otherwise it can be integrated to the fan. In addition, it may be arranged in an air inlet or an air outlet. In addition, it can be linked to the blowing nozzle of an air conditioner. The chemical that can be impregnated in a chemical carrier or impregnated body 420 of the present invention can be a harmful insect control agent (insecticide, repellent, developmental inhibitor, mite insecticide, insect control essential oil or the like). similar), an aromatic product, an aromatic deodorant, a deodorant, a fungicide, a disinfectant or a pest repellent, and especially such a chemical must be volatile at a common temperature or air circulation conditions. Such chemicals, if used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known hitherto, of which the pyrethroid, carbamate, organophosphorus chemicals and others may be listed, with the pyrethroid chemicals being preferentially used because they have in general high security. In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transifluorine, empenthrin, teralethrin, and profluthrin, which are highly active and which in small amounts have efficacy, can be conveniently used since they can make the carrier of the chemical product thin. and little. Unprocessed materials with which the chemical carrier of the present invention can be formed include natural or chemical fibers, non-woven fabric (made of natural, chemical and carbon fibers), resins (polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride), cloth (woven or knitted), paper spinning (pulp, cotton wool, synthetic paper). The material can be a body formed in the form of a sheet, honeycomb, drainage or cross-linked board, a transferring body to maintain its shape when confined, or flocculated or sponge. Of these materials, a material similar to non-woven fabric sheets having good air permeability and chemical retention is preferred. Next, an explanation is given regarding a sixth embodiment of the present invention. While referring to Figure 44 a chemical cartridge in another form of the present invention will be described as an example of its use, as applied to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus that uses a chemical cartridge to diffuse a chemical product. chemical at an atmosphere, it will be understood that the present invention when applied is not limited to this particular use. As shown in Figure 44, a main housing body 501 is provided with an air blower 502 and has a chemical cartridge 503 removably attached thereto in which a fan 504 of the air blower 502 is rotated. by means of a motor 505 for passing air through the chemical cartridge 503. The main housing body 501 includes a base component 510 and a cover component 511, and is formed with a blower mounting section 512 and a section 513 of acceptance of the battery and has an air inlet section 514 and an air discharge section 515. The air blower 502 has a fan 504 and a motor 505 mounted in a housing 506 provided in the blower mounting section 512. The housing 506 has an air inlet mouth 506a communicating with the air inlet section 514 and also has an air discharge nozzle (not shown) communicating with the air discharge section 515. A battery 507 shown to comprise two dry cells is linked to the battery acceptance section 513. The lid component 511 is connected to the main housing body 510 so that it can be opened and closed, whereby the opening of the lid component 511 allows the chemical cartridge 503 and the battery 507 to be removed and placed . The chemical cartridge 503 is adapted to accept a body impregnated with chemical 520 in the form of a sheet and has a retention receptacle 530 for retaining the body impregnated with chemical 520. In other words, as the body impregnated with product chemical 520, which is a form of such a sheet, is absorbent to liquid and of such low rigidity that it can not be sustained as well and if it is taken directly by a hand, a chemical in it can adhere to the hand, if it is maintained at along a portion thereof with the holding receptacle 530 to cause air to pass through other portions thereof. This allows the chemical cartridge 520 to be made thin and easy to handle. The body impregnated with chemical product 520 comprises a carrier 521 in the form of a sheet impregnated with and which retains therein a chemical in a given amount.
The carrier similar to a sheet 521 of the body impregnated with chemical 520 has a region 522 of high liquid retention that can be impregnated and capture a large amount of chemical, which progressively infiltrates the carrier 521 over its entire body.
Constructed in this way and adapted as mentioned above, a chemical cartridge 530 when exhausted (when the chemical contained in the carrier 521 of the body impregnated with chemical 520 is completely exhausted or diffused to the ambient atmosphere and the carrier 521 does not has such a chemical contained therein) allows it to be re-supplied by drip and thus a large amount of chemical is delivered to the 522 high retention region of liquid to allow the chemical to progressively infiltrate the 521 carrier especially its body until the carrier 521 is fully charged with the chemical, thereby reproducing the unused chemical cartridge. Therefore, this is a chemical cartridge that can be used repeatedly by supplying it with a chemical every time it is used up. Also, as in the manufacturing step as well, the carrier 521 of a body impregnated with chemical product 520 can be supplied in its region 522 with high liquid retention of a large amount of chemical product to allow it to infiltrate the carrier 521 progressively. throughout its body, it is possible to impregnate the carrier 521 uniformly throughout its body with chemical product.
Reference is now made specifically to a currently preferred but non-exclusive example of the chemical cartridge 503 with reference to figures 45 and 46. The carrier 521 of this body impregnated with chemical 520 is in the form of a sheet whose central part it is thicker than the other parts thereof, constituting the 522 region of high liquid retention. The region 522 of high liquid retention is formed in its upper part with a recess 522a to help the chemical when it is supplied is easily absorbed in its interior. Even if the liquid absorbing power (the amount of a quantity of liquid that can be absorbed per unit area) of the carrier 521 is uniform in its total area, its thin central area can absorb a large amount of chemical and can constitute the 522 region of high liquid retention. However, preferably, the carrier 421 can be made more liquid absorbent in its central part than in the other parts, allowing this part (the 522 region of high liquid retention) to be impregnated with a mum amount of chemical product. However, if the high liquid retention region 522 of the carrier 521 is made more liquid absorbent than its other regions, this region can be made equal in thickness to the other regions. Thus, the region 522 of high liquid retention of a carrier 521 may indeed be a region where the amount of liquid that can be absorbed per unit volume is greater than in other parts thereof. Likewise, the region 522 of high liquid retention can have any shape, that is, not only round as mentioned, but also rectangular, semi-circular or in relief, depending on the material to be processed that is used. The retaining receptacle 530 comprises a receptacle body component 540 and a containment component 550 among which the body impregnated with chemical 520 is contained and retained. The body component of the receptacle 540 has a central support section 541, a peripheral support section 542 and a plurality of connection support sections 543 that connect the peripheral support section 542 to the central support section 541 in which a defined space with the central support section 541, the peripheral support section 542 and the adjoining connection support sections 543 connected to each other by the peripheral support section 542 is open constituting an air circulation section 544.
The peripheral support section 542 has its outer edge raised from its upper face to form a raised edge 545 in the shape of a ring. The body impregnated with chemical 520 is placed on and supported by the upper surfaces 541a, 542a and 543a of the center support section 541, the peripheral support section 542 and the connection support section 543. The containment component 550 is in the form of a ring that can be assed with the raised edge 545 in a ring shape to contain a peripheral portion of the body impregnated with chemical product 520 between the containment component 50 and the peripheral support section 542 The chemical cartridge 503 as shown in Figure 44 is mounted by shimming with its mounting section 506b of the housing 506 and opposite the fan 504 of the air blower 502 so that the central portion 504a of the fan 504 having little circulation of air (ie, where the axis of rotation 505a of the engine 505 is coupled) is opposite to the central part (the region 522 of high liquid retention) of the carrier 521 of the body impregnated with chemical 520. Thus, a Through the 522 liquid retention region there will be much less air circulation than anywhere else around it to make the air circulate evenly through the through the body impregnated with chemical 520 without being obstructed by the 522 region of high liquid retention despite its thickness. It can be placed on the upper face 541a of the central support section 541 of the retaining receptacle 540, the region 522 of high retention of liquid supplied with a large amount of chemical when it is filled by increasing its weight is prevented. By being positioned on the upper face 541a of the central support section 541 of the retaining receptacle 540, the 522 region of high retention of liquid supplied with a large amount of chemical when filled is prevented from increasing its weight and decreasing. Also, being of identical or larger size than the region 522 of high liquid retention, the central support section 541 prevents liquid chemical from leaving the lower face of the 522 region of high liquid retention when it is supplied with a liquid. large amount of liquid chemical. The central support section 541 may be in the form of a shallow, serrated plate. Below is a mention of modifications of this form of implementation. The central support section 541 of the receptacle body component 540 may be smaller in size than the region 522 of high liquid retention. In addition, the number of connection sections 543 can not only be six, but also four, three or similar. In a first modification as shown in Figures 47A and 47B, the containment component 550 may have a central ring 551, a peripheral ring 552 and a plurality of bras 553 that connect the central ring 551 and the peripheral ring 552 to form openings 554 and can be made so that the central ring 551 fits with the high liquid retaining region 522 and the peripheral ring 552 fits with the raised edge 545 of the receptacle body component 540. This allows the central ring 551 to provide a indication of chemical product dripped and supplied. In this case, the central support section 541 of the body component of the receptacle 540 can have the shape of a ring. Also, in this case, the central ring 551 of the containment component 550 can be contiguous with the upper face of the region 522. of high liquid retention to contain it with the central support section 541. Likewise, the central ring 551 may have a greater height than the region 522 of high liquid retention to prevent the liquid chemical supplied from spilling.
In a second modification as shown in Figures 48A and 48B, the body impregnated with chemical product 520 can have its high liquid retention region 522 located closer to the periphery of the carrier 521. For example, the carrier 521 can have a plurality of circumferentially spaced liquid-retaining regions 522 spaced between yes along a peripheral area of it. In a third and a fourth modification as shown in figures 49 and 50, the region 522 of high liquid retention of the body impregnated with chemical product 520 has the shape of a narrow strip arranged and continuous diametrically. Here the region 522 of high liquid retention is supplied with the liquid chemical from the central region, such as the central ring 551, of the containment component in the arrangement shown in figure 49 and of the peripheral region, such as the openings 554 formed between the indentations 552a of the deformed peripheral ring of the containment component 550 and the raised ring-like edge 545 of the peripheral support section 542 of the receptacle body component 540 in the arrangement shown in the figure 50. In further modifications that are not shown, a plurality of such high band retaining regions 522 may be formed and arranged in the form of a network, or one or more of such high liquid retaining regions 522 may be properly positioned as desired. The high liquid retention region 522 of the body impregnated with chemical product 520 can be formed separately from the carrier 521 and can be disposed above and / or below the carrier 521. For example, in a fifth embodiment as shown in the figure 51, a pair of carriers 521 are used to contain a region 522 of high liquid retention therebetween. Also, in a further modification not shown, the region of high liquid retention as a separate body is mounted on the central ring 551 of the containment component 550 and is thus mounted while the containment component 550 is linked to the component of receptacle body 40 so as to retain the region 522 of high liquid retention in contact with the carrier 521. Alternatively, the carrier 521 may be disposed on the region 522 of high liquid retention mounted as a separate body on the section of center support 541 of receptacle body component 540.
Next, mention is made of how the region 522 of high liquid retention described above can be specifically implemented. The region 522 of high liquid retention as a separate body is formed with the same material or a material different from the material with which the carrier 521 is formed, and is integrated with, or joined to, closed with seams with, placed on or welded to the carrier 521. Alternatively, an unprocessed material is blown by special machining over a portion of the carrier 521 to make a mass per unit area large in order to produce there a region 522 of high liquid retention. which carrier 521 and body impregnated with chemical 520 or region 522 of high liquid retention as a separate body in the present invention can be formed include natural and chemical fibers, non-woven fabric (of natural, chemical and carbon fibers) ), resin (polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride), cloth (woven or knitted), paper yarn (pulp, cotton linters, synthetic paper) . The material can be a body formed in the form of a sheet, net, honeycomb, drainage board, reticulate or fold, a transferring body to maintain its shape when confined, or a flocculate or sponge, furthermore foamed microspheres, foamed urethane and wood or bamboo charcoal. Of these materials, a material similar to non-woven fabric sheet having very good air permeability and chemical retention is preferred. In the present invention when a liquid chemical is supplied to a 522 region of high liquid retention, the supply quantity can be visually verified by using a calibrated drip pipettor, a dose ampoule, a measured container or a container with a sample tray. measurement, or a nozzle. Likewise, as when a chemical is supplied it is convenient that the delivery time be visually verified, it is convenient to use a body impregnated with chemical product 420 that can be of a known type with an indicator that shows the moment of its exhaustion. The chemical that can be impregnated in the carrier 521 of a body 521 impregnated with chemical for use in the present invention can be a control agent of harmful insects (insecticide, repellent, developmental inhibitor, insecticide against mites, essential oil of insect control or the like), aromatic product, aromatic deodorant, deodorant, fungicide, disinfectant or pest repellent, and especially such a chemical product must be volatile at a common temperature or air circulation conditions. Such chemicals, used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the chemicals, pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorus and other chemicals may be listed, of which the chemical pyrethroid chemicals they can be preferably used since they are generally of high security. In addition, specific chemicals such as metofluthrin, transfluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin and profluthrin which are highly active and which in a small amount have efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small. Furthermore, not only a chemical cartridge 503 according to the present invention is used with a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus as described above, but it can also be linked directly to the fan in an air blower and can otherwise be be integrated to the fan. In addition, it may be arranged on an air inlet or outlet side. Likewise, it can be linked in the mouth of blowing of an air conditioner.
Next, an explanation of a seventh embodiment of the present invention is provided. Without reference to Fig. 52 a chemical product cartridge in another form of the present invention will be described, as an example of its use, applied to a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus that uses a chemical cartridge to diffuse a chemical to an atmosphere, it will be understood that the present invention when applied is not limited to this use particular. As shown in Figure 52, a main housing body 601 is provided with an air blower 602 and has a chemical product cartridge 603 removably attached thereto in which a fan 604 of the air blower 602 is rotated. by means of a motor 605 for passing air through the chemical cartridge 603. The main housing body 601 includes a base component 610 and a cover component 611, and is formed with a blower mounting section 612 and a section 613 of acceptance of the battery and has an air inlet section 614 and an air discharge section 615. The air blower 602 has a fan 604 and a motor 605 mounted in a housing 606 provided in the blower mounting section 612. The housing 606 has an air inlet mouth 606a communicating with the air inlet section 614 and also has an air discharge mouth (not shown) communicating with the air discharge section 615. A battery 607 comprising two dry cells is shown which is linked to the battery acceptance section 613. The cover component 611 is connected to the main housing body 610 so that it can be opened and closed, whereby the opening and closing of the component 611 allows the chemical cartridge 603 and the battery 607 are removed and placed. The chemical cartridge 603 includes a chemical product or body pad 620 impregnated with chemical and an accessory 630, although the chemical cartridge 603 is not limited to a combination of such body impregnated with chemical 620 and an accessory can comprising a body 620 impregnated with a chemical and a receptacle that will be described below or can be composed only of a body 620 impregnated with a chemical. The body 620 impregnated with chemical as shown in Figs. 52 to 56 is made of a porous or air permeable sheet material 621 and liquid absorbent that is flat and impregnated with a chemical, as shown. A number of folds of the body 620 impregnated with chemical is formed by alternating mountain folds and valley folds of the sheet material at certain widths. The body 620 impregnated with chemical made with such sheet material 621 which is thus of large surface area by. Volume unit and capable of retaining liquid chemical can retain a large amount of liquid chemical that can also be sufficient if it is made of small size. For example, it is possible to provide a body 620 impregnated with thin chemical containing a large amount of liquid chemical. This sheet 621 is prevented from losing its folded shape by bonding, for example, by thermal fusion of its peripheral edge 622 through which the folds are made parallel, to maintain a crease pitch. Yes, a folded sheet is left with its folds as they are, under an external force tends to lose its shape and not being able to maintain the original step of its folds. Processed in this way, the sheet material 621 allows air to pass uniformly over its total area and in turn the chemical emanates from the body impregnated with chemical product 620 uniformly throughout its entire area. In this way, this allows a volume of chemical product retained in the body impregnated with the chemical to be consumed substantially uniformly in its total area, thereby making the use of a chemical for this purpose efficient and efficient. In the illustrated embodiment, the body impregnated with chemical 620 is round and planar with its peripheral edge 622 in the form of a circular ring. This does not include the possibility that the body impregnated with chemical product 620 may be square or rectangular in planar form; then two opposite edges of it can be merged. The accessory 630 acts to contain the peripheral edge of the body impregnated with chemical 620 so that it maintains its shape and prevents it from deforming. It also serves to allow the chemical cartridge 630 to be taken with the fingers while preventing the chemical from contaminating the hand. Of course, air is allowed to pass through the body impregnated with chemical 620 except in its limited area where it is required by the fixture 630. In this way, the fixture 630 has a retaining section that retains the body impregnated with chemical 620 and a section of air passage through which air circulates. For example, the fixture 630 comprises a support component 631 and a retaining component 632, and the support component 631 comprises a raised ring and, as a support element, a support ring 634 projecting inwardly from an internal face. 633a of the raised accessory ring under it. The containment section 632 has here the shape of a ring that can be placed with a raised ring-shaped edge 633 of the support component 631. Then, the chemical impregnated body 620 is loaded into the support component 631 with its peripheral edge 622 arranged with the raised ring 633 and placed on the support ring 634, and then the containment component 632 is mounted within the raised ring 633 pressed on the peripheral edge of the body impregnated with chemical 620 to contain the same between the containment component 632 and the support ring 634 in the raised ring 633 of the component 631. In this way, the ring-shaped support component 631 and the containment component 72 together constitute the containment section mentioned above and the space in the containment section constitutes the aforementioned air passage section. . In this form of implementation, as shown in Figure 56, when the processed sheet material 621 is contained on the fixture 630, it will be appreciated that its fused peripheral edge 622 is held in a vertical position at half the height of the sheet. accessory 630 with its upper contour line 621a and its lower contour line 621b projecting upwards and downwards, respectively, to an equal measure from the vertically average position. Depending on the relative thicknesses of the support ring 634 and the containment ring 632 that can be chosen, however, it is also possible to contain the fused peripheral edge 622 of the folded sheet material 621 with the accessory 620 as in the first modification that is made. shown in Fig. 57 for positioning the sheet material 621 in the fixture 630 so that its lower contour line 621b is relatively flat and its upper contour line 621a project relatively much upwards. Either way, it is possible to make the lower face 620a of the body impregnated with chemical 620 be substantially flush and preferably flush precisely with the lower face 630a of the fitting 630, thereby improving the placeability of the chemical cartridge 603 in the body 601 of the apparatus housing. Also, since the support ring 634 and the containment ring 632 can be thin, it is possible to make the accessory 630 small in thickness and size. For example, it will be appreciated that in the arrangement shown in Figure 52 where the chemical cartridge 603 should be placed on an upper face 606b with shoulder of the housing 606 that is necessary to make the lower face 620a of the product cartridge 620 is flush with the bottom surface 630a of the fixture 630 so as to make the chemical cartridge 630 easily disposable in the housing 606. Otherwise, the height H2 of the fixture 630 for the chemical cartridge 603 that shown in Figure 56 tends to become larger than the height Hl of the chemical cartridge 603 shown in Figure 57 at a thickness (height) of the support ring 634. Being not only air permeable but also liquid absorbent, the folded sheet material 621 of the body impregnated with chemical product 620 after the exhaustion of its chemical product, ie once the chemical product cartridge co is used entirely for the fact that the amount of chemical it contains has been completely diffused to the ambient atmosphere, it can be re-supplied and impregnated with chemical over its entire area to provide a body impregnated with chemical. Therefore, a chemical cartridge is provided, which each time it is exhausted can be reused repetitively by refilling.
Reference is now made to a preferred chemical cartridge which is suitable for filling after exhaustion, with reference to Figures 58 and 59. The support element 634, illustrated above as the support ring, in the accessory 630 now comprises a ring external peripheral 634a and an internal peripheral ring 634b and connecting rods 634c connecting them together. Also, the containment component 632 of the fitting now comprises an outer ring 632a and an inner ring 632b and connecting rods 632c connecting them together. With the cartridge constructed in this way, the body impregnated with chemical 620 can be supplied with chemical to a region surrounded by the inner ring 632b and can be easily filled. With the fixture 630 shown in Figs. 58 and 59, the chemical impregnated body 620 having its upper face and its lower face supported by and between the inner rings 632b and 634b and the connecting rods 632c and 634c is prevented from going down. . In this case, only one of the support and containment components 631 and 632 may have such an inner ring and connecting rods. The internal rings are of arbitrary size, shape and quantity and can be determined according to the size of the body impregnated with chemical 620, the material used for the folded sheet and the amount of chemical impregnation. Provided an inner ring and connecting rods only for the support component 631 to form recesses in its upper face which allows the filling chemical to remain in those recesses and prevents it from spilling and falling.
While not shown, an indication of replenishment of a chemical with a color or mark may be provided on a surface of the processed sheet material 621 in the chemical cartridge shown in the figure 54. Next, additional modifications are mentioned. As shown in Figure 60, for the body 620 impregnated with chemical product a folded sheet material 621 with its peripheral edge 622 remaining unprocessed (not fused) can also be used. Then, the accessory 630 for containing the folded sheet material 621 acts to compress its unprocessed peripheral edge 622, containing it firmly to prevent the folds from losing their shape. It may then be convenient that the containment component 632 be shirred with the raised ring 633 of the support component 630 to contain the peripheral edge 622 of the folded sheet material 621.
A chemical cartridge can simply be a body 620 impregnated with chemical product with its peripheral edge 622 processed as shown in Figure 53. Incorporating a body 620 impregnated with chemical product into a receptacle 640 having an air passage region is can provide a chemical cartridge 603. For example, in a second modification as shown in Figure 61 a receptacle 640 in the form of a ring has its internal round area which provides the region of air passage and is formed with a recess annular 641 faced inward in its outer ring section. The processed peripheral edge 622 of the chemical impregnated body 620 is mounted within this annular recess 641 to incorporate the chemical impregnated body 620 into the receptacle 640. Constructed in this way, the receptacle 640 can be held with one hand and made that the hand is contaminated by a chemical and is easy to handle. While in the various above-mentioned implementation examples the body impregnated with chemical 620 is shown round with the accessory 630 and the ring-shaped receptacle 640, the body impregnated with chemical 620 can also be rectangular, triangular or semi-circular , and also the accessory 630 and the receptacle 640 rectangular, triangular or i-circular. In this way, the accessory 630 will be sufficient if it is configured as being capable of containing and pressing the peripheral edge of a body 620 impregnated with chemical and having an air passage region. Also, the receptacle 640 will suffice if it is configured to accommodate a body impregnated with chemical 620 and having an air passage region. While in the various examples of implementation mentioned above, the body impregnated with chemical 620 is shown flat to make the chemical cartridge thin, the body impregnated with chemical 620 may have the shape of a cylinder and the receptacle 640 may be cylindrical with an annular recess in which the body impregnated with product is received chemical 620 to produce a chemical cartridge. For example, in a fourth modification as shown in Figures 63 and 64, an inner cylinder 642 and an outer cylinder 643 and a pair of plates 644 and 645 of end face constitute a receptacle 640 having an annular recess 646 and a recess axial 647. Internal cylinder 642 and outer cylinder 643 are formed with vents 642a and 643a and end cover plate 644 has an airflow aperture 644a.
Body 620 impregnated with chemical herein comprises a folded sheet material 621 which is air permeable and liquid absorbent. This folded sheet material 621 has its valley-like height substantially equal to the radial width of the annular recess 646 which is a difference in radius between the outer cylinder 643 and the inner cylinder 642 so that it can be placed in the latter. The folded sheet material 621 is positioned so that its fold contours conform to opposite walls of annular recess 646, and is then impregnated with a liquid chemical. The receptacle 640 thus loaded in its annular recess 646 with the body impregnated with chemical product 620 provides a chemical product cartridge 620. The chemical cartridge 620 is removably loaded within the housing body of the apparatus 601. For example, in the cartridge 603 the one end cover plate 644 is formed with an outwardly projecting element 648 where it defines the air passage aperture 644a while the housing body of the apparatus 601 is formed by a recess 649 that faces inward where it defines the air inlet opening 614 so that when the element 648 fits with the hole 649 the chemical cartridge 603 and the body 601 of the apparatus housing are firmly joined together while the air passage aperture 644a is placed and the air inlet opening 614 in communication with each other. With the fan 604 of the air blower 602 driven by the motor 605, air is allowed to flow through the vents 643a of the external cylinder 643, the annular recess 646, the vents 642a of the inner cylinder 642, the axial recess 647, the air passage opening 644a, air inlet section 614 and air discharge section 615, thereby pulling chemical product from body impregnated with chemical 620 therein for diffusion to the ambient atmosphere. Constructed in this way, adapted and arranged as mentioned above, a body impregnated with chemical 620 according to the preceding forms of implementation can retain a greater amount of chemical per unit volume and can also be made small in size. According to this form of implementation, with a body impregnated with chemical 620 that can retain a greater amount of chemical and can be of reduced diameter, a chemical product cartridge 603 can be produced that is small in diameter, but has however, an increased chemical absorbency.
Also, with a receptacle 640 made to be easy to handle and sealed, not only can it be easily manipulated, but it also protects the user's hand from contamination with a chemical product carried by a body impregnated with chemical product 620 Furthermore, although not shown, dividing plates may be provided in the annular recess 646 of the receptacle 640 to prevent the pleats of folded sheet material 621 from coming out of shape. further, the inner cylinder 642 can have a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections so that adjacent projections contain the peak of each of the folds to prevent the folded sheet material 621 from losing its shape. While a chemical cartridge according to the present invention is shown mounted on the housing body of the apparatus 601 of a blower-type chemical diffuser apparatus such that when blown by an air blower 602 it can accept chemical product. to the ambient atmosphere, it should be understood that the chemical cartridge in this aspect of the invention is not limited to such a particular use thereof but is simply used with a suitable mounting element for placement in a living room or the like so that can spontaneously emit chemical into the atmosphere.
In this case, the chemical cartridge can be made in the form of a fan, flashlight, accordion or curtain. The sheet for use in forming a folded sheet material 621 in the present invention is preferably made with a woven or nonwoven fabric to meet the requirements of its air permeability and liquid absorbency. It is also convenient that the material is resistant to chemicals depending on the types of particular chemicals used. For example, the applicable raw materials include cotton, wool, linen and silk such as natural fibers, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polysulfone, rayon, methacrylate resin and glass fiber as synthetic fibers. The folded sheet material 621 can have a sheet of a thickness preferably comprised between 0.02 mm and 1.0 mm to maintain its absorbency and liquid retention. Also, to facilitate the emission of chemical product (air transmission), the sheet should preferably have a density of 0.05 to 1.0 g / cm3. While the fold width of the folded sheet material 621 can not be determined directly since it is related to its folding width, where the objective is to make the chemical cartridge smaller and especially thinner it can not It is advisable to increase the folding width since this tends to increase the thickness of the chemical product. In this way it should be desirable to determine it depending on the body area 620 impregnated with chemical. Thus, typically the fold should be between 2 mm and 30 mm. In the case of a cylindrical chemical cartridge as shown in Figures 63 and 64, however, the folded sheet material 621 can have a fold width in excess of 30 mm. As regards the peak-to-peak distance of the pleats of the folded sheet material 621 there seems to be no particular limitation imposed on this distance. However, the wider the distance, the smaller the amount of chemical that can be contained, and if the folds are densified, an increase in the amount of chemical absorbed also obstructs air circulation and the emission of chemical product. . Thus, the distance should typically be no more than 10 mm and not less than 1 mm (where the folds are visually seen as only contacting each other). Not only can be the folds even in height (where the width of the fold is equal to the width of folding) but also the same can be of irregular height (where the width of the fold varies and the distance remains constant) or higher in their centers. The folds can also be straight or curved in the center line. If its peripheries are thermally fused, a rounded periphery will occur. The materials with which the 630 accessory can be produced include resins (polyethylene, terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyacetal, nylon, acrylic, ABS and AS), synthetic paper materials and metals. Volatile chemicals that can be used in the present invention include a harmful insect control agent, insecticide, repellent, developmental inhibitor, insecticide against mites, essential insect control agent or the like, aromatic products, aromatic deodorants, deodorants , fungicides, disinfectants or pest repellents, and especially such chemicals must be volatile at a common temperature or air circulation conditions. Such chemicals may preferably be at least one of the harmful insect control agents selected from specific chemicals such as metofluthrin, empenthrin, teralethrin, transluthrin and profluthrin. These chemicals are highly active and represent high mortality rates. By having efficiency in small quantities, they can be conveniently used and can be optimal for use in a smaller sized chemical cartridge. In addition to a chemical product, as mentioned above, a volatile adjuster (petrolatum, glycol, etc.), a solvent (paraffin, polyalcohol, fatty ester, etc.), antioxidant, (BHT, BHA, etc.) can be added where necessary. ), an indicator (alocroic coloring agent) and an ultraviolet absorber. Here, a calibrated drip pipettor, a dose ampule, a measured container or a container with a measuring cuvette, or a nozzle can be used to visually verify the quantity of liquid chemical supply. Also, as when a chemical is supplied, it is convenient that the delivery time be visually verified, it is convenient to use a body impregnated with chemical product 320 that can be of a known type with an indicator that shows the moment of its exhaustion. Next, an explanation of an eighth form of implementation of the present invention is carried out. With reference to Figure 65, there is shown a chemical diffuser apparatus of the blower type that uses a body impregnated with chemical product according to the present invention to diffuse chemical volatilizing product thereof to the ambient atmosphere.
In the apparatus shown, a main housing apparatus or body 701 has an air blower 702, a battery 703 and a chemical product cartridge 704 that includes a body 704 impregnated with chemical disposed therein, wherein a fan 702a which is rotated with a motor 702b, air is sucked through an air inlet mouth 705, passes through the body impregnated with chemical 704a and is discharged through an air discharge port 706 to emit a volatilizing chemical product that comes from a body impregnated with chemical 704a and carried in the air to the ambient atmosphere. The body 701 of the housing of the apparatus has a portion 701a opposite the chemical cartridge 704 where the latter can be disengaged and linked. Produced with a base component 707 and a cover component 708, the body 701 of the housing of the apparatus is here designed, for example, to allow the lid component 708 to be opened and closed and for the user to open the lid component. 708 to remove the chemical cartridge 704 and the battery 703, and to place them in position. The body impregnated with chemical 704a comprises a honeycomb body 710 and a body 720 of air permeable and liquid absorbing sheet that are impregnated with a chemical.
A honeycomb body 710 has a large number of cells 711 that are open on both of their side faces 710a and 710b in the direction of their thickness. The body of the sheet 720 is disposed on one of these side faces, preferably on the side 710b, where the air flows outwardly on the side face. Preferably, the honeycomb body 710 is much smaller in thickness than in width and length, i.e., it is a thin, "flat" body that is large flat area, and has a large number of cells 711 open in the direction of its thickness, and on that large area the sheet body 720 is disposed on its side where the air circulates outwards. The cells 711 of the honeycomb body 710 may not only have a polygonal cross-section, but may also be, for example, corrugated, circular, triangular, square or triangular. In addition, the cells 711 can be not only laminar but can also be coiled. Cells 711 can be formed of material that can be any of the materials with which sheet body 729 is formed as will be mentioned below. These features make it possible to produce the thin chemical cartridge 701 and therefore the housing body of the apparatus 701 can be of small thickness.
In addition, reinforced by the honeycomb body 719, the sheet body 720 can maintain its given shape. The body of the honeycomb 710 also allows air to circulate therethrough evenly and can effectively emit the chemical that retains the ambient atmosphere and obstruct the circulation of air through the sheet body. 720 that reinforces. Also, by being mounted on the body 701 of the housing of the apparatus as shown in Figure 65, the honeycomb body 710 and the sheet body 720 allow air to pass and circulate therethrough, allowing the chemical retained therein is carried in the air to emanate and diffuse to the ambient atmosphere as the fan 702a is rotated as mentioned above. Likewise, the body 710 of the panel and the body 720 of the body sheet 704a impregnated with chemical product upon exhaustion of the chemical that they have retained can be removed as the body impregnated with chemical 704a from the body 701 of the housing of the apparatus, placed in the condition in which the sheet body 720 is disposed on the honeycomb body 710 and can be filled with the chemical product. In this case, the sheet body 720 is supplied with liquid chemical by dripping liquid chemical in a limited area thereof., then the liquid chemical progressively refiltered over the entire body of the sheet 720 and at the same time infiltrated in and through the honeycomb body 710 progressively also over the entire honeycomb body 710. In this way a body impregnated with 704 chemical product refilled. More specifically, as the body of the sheet 720 is arranged to be on a total area in which a large number of walls 712 are arranged to constitute the cells 711 of the honeycomb body 710 and oriented in the direction of its thickness, the product Chemical is retained when impregnation or flooding occurs, along and inward of these walls 712. Such a liquid cartridge 704 that includes a body 704a impregnated with chemical to be recharged in the body 701 of the apparatus housing is allowed. that emits chemical product into the ambient atmosphere. The filling with chemical product by dripping the liquid chemical onto the sheet body 704 allows the chemical to be impregnated inside and retained by the honeycomb body 710 well over its entire volume. As the amount of chemical to fill the sheet body 720 can be provided which is necessary to impregnate the honeycomb and the sheet bodies 710 and 720, it is possible to avoid waste of chemical product.
It is therefore possible for the user to easily regenerate a body impregnated with chemical 704 after use by filling the honeycomb body 710 and the sheet body 720 with chemical. With the sheet body 720 disposed in intimate contact with one of the side faces (for example the side face 710b) of the honeycomb body 710 in the direction of its thickness, the chemical supplied to the sheet body 720 is allowed to infiltrate evenly inwardly and through the entire honeycomb body 710 (i.e., the wall materials 712). With the body 720 of the sheet and the body 710 of the honeycomb body thus arranged, it allows the chemical to infiltrate the body of the sheet 720 into the honeycomb body 710 (i.e., the material of the wall 712) evenly and without failures. In this embodiment, a retaining receptacle 730 is used to bring the sheet body 720 into intimate contact with a side face (e.g., the side face 710b) and the honeycomb body 710. The retention receptacle 730 comprises a receptacle body component 740 and a containment component, each of which has the shape of a ring. The body 704a impregnated with chemical is placed the holding receptacle 740, and the containing component 750 is fixed inside and coupled with the body component of the receptacle 740 to contain the body 710 of the honeycomb and the body 720 of the sheet between the bodies. same with the sheet body 720 placed in intimate contact with the one side face of the honeycomb body 710. This arrangement allows the sheet material 720 to come into intimate contact firmly with a side face of the honeycomb body 710. It is then made a mention of a first modification of the chemical cartridge 704 including the body 704a impregnated with chemical with reference to figures 66 to 68. The body component of the receptacle 740 comprises a central support section 741, a peripheral support section 742 and a plurality of bras 743 connecting the central support section 741 and the peripheral support section 742 in Herein lies a space defined with the central support section 741, the peripheral support section 742 and the abutting supports 743 connected to each other by the peripheral support section 742 is open constituting an air circulation section 744 and the section of peripheral support 742 has a raised support ring 745 which is integral therewith. The containment component 750 is in the form of a ring that can be mounted with the raised ring 745.
The honeycomb body 710 is mounted on the raised support ring 745 and the sheet body 720 is placed on and supported by the upper surfaces of the central support section 741 and the peripheral support section 742 and the holders 743 in contact with the same.
The containment component 750 is fixed with the raised support ring 745 and, upon contacting a peripheral edge of the one side face 710a of the honeycomb body 710, contains speripheral areas of the body 710 of the honeycomb and the body 720 of the sheet. The central support section 741 is formed with a liquid chemical accumulation section 746 open on a support face 741, the section of which is open to the outside through an inlet mouth 747 formed on its side opposite the support face 741. In this arrangement, the chemical cartridge 704 (of the holding receptacle 730) is removed and placed by turning it. The chemical is dripped and fed through the inlet port 747 into the liquid chemical accumulation section 746 and accumulates there. This allows the liquid chemical to infiltrate from the center of the sheet body 720 progressively over its entire area and at the same time infiltrate the sheet body 720 through the face of the honeycomb body 720 in intimate contact with the sheet body 720, then inwardly and through the sheet body 720 also progressively over its entire area. Next, a second modification of the chemical cartridge 704 including the body 704a impregnated with chemical is mentioned. As shown in Figs. 69 and 70, the peripheral support section 742 of the body component of the receptacle 740 is formed on its support face 742a with an annular liquid chemical accumulation section 74 that is open on its underside a through an inlet mouth 747. In this arrangement, the liquid chemical is supplied to a peripheral part of the sheet body and is allowed to infiltrate its central part. Next, a third modification of the chemical cartridge 704 including the body 704a impregnated with chemical is mentioned. As shown in Figs. 71 and 72, the receptacle body component 740 is formed in each of the central support section 741 and the peripheral support section 742 with a liquid chemical accumulation section 746 and a mouth of the head. entrance 747.
In this arrangement, the liquid chemical is supplied both to the central part and to a peripheral part of the sheet body 720 so as to allow the chemical product to infiltrate both its peripheral part and its central part. This allows the chemical to fill the honeycomb body 710 efficiently in a short period of time. While the sheet body 720 is shown disposed on the honeycomb body 710 to supply liquid chemical directly on the sheet body 720, alternatively the sheet body 720 may be positioned below the honeycomb body 710 so that the chemical liquid is supplied from above to the honeycomb body 710 into the cell 711 and then supplied to the sheet body 720. In this case, the need to form the inlet mouth 747 which is shown in figures 68 and 72 is eliminated. and the need to produce the deep chemical liquid accumulation section 746 as shown in Figures 68 and 72. For example, in a fourth modification as shown in Figures 73 and 74, a chemical product accumulation section 746. Shallow liquid is formed in each of the central support section 741 and the peripheral support section 742.
The liquid chemical is supplied from the cells 711 both in the central part and in the peripheral part of the honeycomb body 710 into the central part and the peripheral part of the sheet body 720. Likewise, to identify where the chemical can To be supplied, a ring collar may be applied in a containment section opposite to the liquid chemical accumulation section to indicate that the chemical must be supplied there. Alternatively, a color can be applied as an indication to the cells where the chemical should be supplied. While in the preceding implementation examples, the body impregnated with chemical 704a is shown mounted so that the body of the sheet 720 and the body of the honeycomb 710 are inside and outside, respectively, they can be positioned vice versa, i.e. , arranged outside and inside, respectively. For example, depending on the types of chemicals used, the sheet body 720 may be positioned to face outwardly and the honeycomb body 710 to face inwardly. Also, while in the above-mentioned implementation examples, the body impregnated with chemical 704a is shown having a sheet body 720 disposed to be in intimate contact with a side face of a honeycomb body 710, two bodies can be used. blade 720 so that they are in intimate contact with the two opposite side faces of a honeycomb body 710, respectively. The chemical that can be impregnated in a honeycomb body 710, respectively. The chemical that can be impregnated in a honeycomb body 710 of a body 704a impregnated with chemical for use in the present invention can be a control agent of harmful insects (an insecticide, a repellent, a developmental inhibitor, an insecticide against mites, an essential insect control oil or the like), an aromatic product, an aromatic deodorant, a deodorant, a fungicide, a disinfectant or a pest repellent, and especially such a chemical must be volatile at a common temperature or conditions of air circulation. Such chemicals, used to exterminate insects, may be of a variety of volatile insecticides known up to now, of which the chemicals, pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphorus and other chemicals may be listed, of which the chemical pyrethroid chemicals they can be preferably used since they are generally of high security.
In addition, specific chemical products such as metofluthrin, transfluthrin, empentrin, teralethrin and profluthrin that are highly active and that in a small amount present efficacy can be conveniently used since they can make the chemical carrier thin and small. The unprocessed materials with which a sheet body 720 can be formed include natural and chemical fibers, non-woven fabric (of natural, chemical and carbon fibers) resins (polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride), fabric (woven or woven) to point), paper spinning (pulp, cotton wool, synthetic paper). The material can be a shaped body such as in the form of a sheet, net, honeycomb, board, grid or fold, a transferring body to maintain its shape when confined or flocculated or sponge. Of these materials, a material similar to non-woven fabric sheet having good air permeability and chemical retention is preferred. In the present invention, a calibrated drip pipettor, a dose ampule, a measured container or a container with a measuring cuvette, or a nozzle can be used to visually verify the supply amount of liquid chemical product.
Also, as when a chemical is supplied it is convenient that the delivery time be visually verified, it is convenient to use a body impregnated with chemical product 320 that can be of a known type with an indicator that shows the moment of its exhaustion.
