Description

Specification

Visual presentation of deodorant effect

The present invention relates to a method for visually presenting a deodorizing effect of a product.

Background art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, there is an increasing demand for removing odors in living room spaces, and deodorants are used in various places such as toilets, kitchens, entrances, and living rooms. For the deodorizing effect of the deodorant, sensory tests and quantitative tests using devices or detector tubes are currently used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] However, in such sensory tests and quantitative tests, it is difficult to easily grasp the deodorizing effect of the deodorant in a short time and to easily grasp the deodorizing effect. For example, in TV commercials, the power of simulating the deodorizing effect using computer graphics.This method has the disadvantage that it is not tangible and lacks credibility. It has the drawback that it is suitable for presentation.

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of shortening the deodorizing effect of a product in a short time and easily capturing the power in an image.

Means for solving the problem

[0005] The present invention relates to the following method.

[0006] 1. In a method of visually presenting the deodorizing effect of a product, a colored gas-adsorbing substance having the form of the product is placed under a colored gas atmosphere, and the color in the colored gas atmosphere disappears. A method of showing the deodorizing effect of the product genuinely or simulatedly by showing the appearance of the product over time.

[0007] 2. In the method of visually presenting the deodorizing effect of the product, By comparing the color gas atmosphere in which the colored gas-adsorbing substance having the form is disposed and the colored gas atmosphere without the colored gas-adsorbing substance in the colored gas atmosphere with the lapse of time in the colored gas atmosphere, the consumption of the product is reduced. 2. The method according to the above item 1, which is a method of presenting the odor effect genuinely or simulatedly.

[0008] 3. The method according to the above item 1 or 2, wherein the colored gas is a nitrogen gas.

[0009] 4. The method according to any one of the above items 1 to 3, wherein the colored gas adsorbing substance is a porous substance.

[0010] 5. A kit for performing a presentation according to any one of the above items 14 to 14, comprising a colored gas, a colored gas adsorbing substance, and a sealed container as required.

The present invention relates to a method for visually presenting the deodorizing effect of a product.

[0012] Specifically, the presentation method of the present invention arranges a colored gas-adsorbing substance in the form of a product in a colored gas atmosphere so that the color disappears in the colored gas atmosphere over time. It can be implemented by showing. This makes it possible to visually present the deodorizing effect of an object placed in a colored atmosphere to a viewer (consumer, viewer or audience) as an image.

Here, what is disposed in the colored gas atmosphere may be any as long as it has a property of adsorbing the colored gas. If the actual product (for example, a product that has a deodorizing effect such as a deodorant or an aromatic deodorant) has the property of adsorbing a colored gas together with the deodorizing effect, the actual product is replaced with the actual product. Can be used. However, for the purpose of the present invention, in which the deodorizing effect of the product is presented visually as an image instead of the conventional computer graphic, it is not always necessary to use the actual product itself, and it is not necessary for the viewer to use the product. As long as it is recognized, a substance having the property of adsorbing colored gas (colored gas adsorbed substance) can be used as a commercial product. Specifically, a colored gas-adsorbing substance can be packaged in, for example, a target product form and used as a product. In addition, colored gas adsorbing substances may be included in some of the actual products!

[0014] That is, in the present invention, to genuinely present the deodorizing effect of a product means that a presentation of the present invention is made using a commercially available product in its use form, and To simulate the deodorant effect is to replace the actual marketed product. Instead, it means that the presentation method of the present invention is performed by using the colored gas-adsorbing substance in a form imitating the product by packaging the product in the form of a product.

[0015] Colored gas

The colored gas used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a color. Examples of the colored gas include nitrogen dioxide, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and diacid chloride. Colored gas can also include tobacco smoke, smoke emitted from factories and incinerators, and exhaust gases that also emit power from cars, buses, trucks, and so on. Among these, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, diacid chloride, and the like are colored gases that are suitably used because of their excellent visual effects. More preferably, it is nitrogen dioxide.

As the colored gas used in the present invention, a commercially available gas can be used, or it can be produced by a known method. For example, nitrogen dioxide can be obtained by reacting copper and nitric acid.

The colored gas adsorbing substance used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can adsorb the colored gas as described above. As a substance that adsorbs a colored gas, a porous substance is preferred.For example, activated carbon; Bincho charcoal; an inorganic material such as clay, and an organic material such as paper sludge, rice husk, paper, wood chips, rice straw, etc. are mixed. Calcined and calcined in an unglazed state (Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-342700); an inorganic material such as clay calcined in an unglazed state and the organic material adhered to it (Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-342699); zeolite; silica gel; Bentonite; and magnesium sulfate.

[0018] Preferably, the substance is desirably a substance having a brown color and excellent in visual effect in presentation and having a high adsorption effect on nitrogen dioxide. Such materials include activated carbon; Bincho charcoal; inorganic raw materials such as clay; and organic materials such as paper sludge, rice hull, paper, wood chips, rice seeds, etc., mixed and calcined in a calcined state (Japanese Patent Application 2003 -342700); An inorganic raw material such as clay, which is calcined in the form of unglazed clay, with the above organic material adhered thereto (Japanese Patent Application

2003-342699).

[0019] Presentation method

Colored gas-adsorbed substance having the target product form in a colored gas atmosphere (the target product Or a product that imitates the target product form), the colored gas is adsorbed by the substance, and the color in the colored gas atmosphere disappears with time. By showing the state of the disappearance change of the color to consumers, viewers or spectators, the deodorizing effect of the product can be visually presented to the viewer as an image.

[0020] Such a presentation method of the present invention may be performed under an open condition or under a closed (closed) condition as long as the disappearance of the color of the colored gas can be visually recognized. Preferably, it is carried out under closed (closed) conditions. When performed under closed (closed) conditions, since there is no gas flow in a colored gas atmosphere, the color disappearance process can be observed more accurately and clearly, and odors and coloring due to the colored gas! It is a cara that can prevent external contamination.

[0021] As a method of giving a presentation under closed (closed) conditions, a method using a closed container can be used simply. The closed container is not particularly limited as long as the colored gas contained therein has such a tightness that the colored gas does not flow out of the container or hardly flows out. More preferably, the colored gas is made of a material that does not adhere or adsorb to the surface inside the closed container, and the inside of the container is subjected to a surface treatment to prevent adhesion of the colored gas Z adsorption. There may be. Further, in the present invention, since the deodorizing effect of the product needs to be presented visually (through visual perception), the closed container has a transparent or translucent window partially, or is entirely transparent or translucent. It must be translucent.

[0022] Further, at least one surface of the container may be colored, or a colored material may be attached to at least one surface so that the colored gas can be clearly observed.

[0023] The container needs to be able to take in and out the colored gas and the colored gas adsorbing substance, but its size and shape are not limited. The size and shape of the force can be appropriately selected according to the size of the colored gas-adsorbing substance having the product form to be disposed therein, the concentration of the colored gas to be used, and the like. For example, shapes such as a box shape (cube shape, rectangular parallelepiped shape, etc.), a columnar shape, a triangular pyramid shape, a spherical shape, and the like can be exemplified, but the shape is not limited thereto. The material of the container is not limited as long as it is as described above, and examples thereof include glass, acrylic resin, plastic, and polyethylene resin. In addition, the inner surface of the above-mentioned container may be processed with fluorine, The inner surface of the container may be covered with a transparent or translucent sheet that has been subjected to a nitrogen treatment. Further, in the present invention, the container includes a bag such as a plastic bag, for example, a tetra bag, and the bag can be used as long as the bag can seal a colored gas.

[0024] When the present invention is performed using a closed container, first, a colored gas is sealed and filled in a closed container. Filling of colored gas Z filling may be performed using a tool such as a syringe, or may be performed directly from a container containing the gas. Next, a colored gas-adsorbing substance having a commercial form is placed in the container. However, the order in which the colored gas and the colored gas adsorbing substance are arranged in the closed vessel is not limited to the above, and the colored gas may be sealed in a closed vessel in which the colored gas adsorbing substance is previously arranged.

[0025] By disposing the substance in the container, the colored gas in the container is adsorbed by the substance, and the color in the container disappears with time. By showing the change of color over time (change of disappearance of color) to viewers such as consumers, viewers or spectators, the viewer visually grasps the deodorizing effect of the product as an image. be able to.

[0026] The method of the present invention uses a relatively high-concentration colored gas such as nitrogen oxide (preferably nitrogen dioxide) as the colored gas. After impressing the color of the colored gas, the disappearance of the color can be noticeably shown in a short period of time, so the product placed inside it (with a product form that is recognized as a product itself by the viewer ) Can strongly impress the viewer on the deodorant effect.

[0027] In addition, the presentation of the present invention is based on the assumption that the time-dependent appearance of color disappearance in a colored gas atmosphere in which a colored gas-adsorbing substance in the form of a product (the product itself or a product imitating the same) is arranged is used as a control. It can also be implemented by showing the state in comparison with a state in a colored gas atmosphere in which no gas adsorbing substance is arranged. In this case, there is no color disappearance due to the adsorption of the colored gas in a colored gas atmosphere in which the colored gas adsorbent material of the control is not placed. The odor effect can be more clearly impressed to the viewer.

[0028] As described above, it is also preferable to perform a strong method under closed (closed) conditions. Specifically, a colored gas-adsorbed substance in the form of a product is placed in a sealed container filled with colored gas Z, and a product in a sealed container filled with colored gas Z is filled. The color change in the container over time is shown in comparison with the case where no colored gas adsorbent is provided (control). This makes it possible to more clearly present to the viewer the disappearance of the color in the container in which the colored gas-adsorbing substance is arranged, and the product (which has a product form that is recognized as a product itself by the viewer) The deodorant effect of the colored gas adsorbing substance) can be more strongly impressed to the viewer.

[0029] When gas is filled in two or more containers, it is preferable that the amount or concentration of gas in each container be the same!

[0030] When the above presentation is made, the amount or concentration of the colored gas to be filled in the closed container, the size and shape of the colored gas adsorbing substance (simulating the target product or the product form), and the like are not limited. Can be appropriately selected according to the type of the product, the size of the target product, the size of the closed container, and the like.

[0031] Kit

The closed container, the colored gas, and the colored gas adsorbent used in the present invention can be used as a kit. By using these as kits, the kit can be easily carried, and the method of the present invention can be quickly and easily carried out in various places.

The invention's effect

[0032] According to the presentation method of the present invention, the deodorizing effect of a product can be quickly and easily captured in an image, and thus the consumer's willingness to purchase can be enhanced.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, examples will be shown to further clarify the features of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to these examples.

Example

Example 1

A copper plate (50 mm X 25 mm X 1 mm; JISH3100 manufactured by Nippon Test Panel Osaka Co., Ltd.) was placed in a 300 ml Erlenmeyer flask, and 50 ml of nitric acid was added thereto (reagent grade Cat. No. 141-0136 manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). Immediately, the above triangular flask was placed in a 10 L Tedlar bag (GL Science) and sealed with a clip (GL Science). Wait until the Tedlar bag is filled with nitrogen dioxide (reddish brown) (about 10 minutes), use a glass syringe (200 ml), inject 500 ml of nitrogen dioxide in the Tedlar bag into the acrylic box, and occupy the lid. And sealed. Another acrylic container was prepared.

[0036] One of the acrylic containers, as a colored gas-adsorbing substance, is obtained by adhering paper sludge to clay fired in an unfired state (Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-342699: "Charcoal power (Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.)") Was placed. The change in color in the container observed over time is shown in FIGS. Figure 1 shows 0 minutes after the addition of the colored gas adsorbent, Figure 2 15 minutes after the addition of the colored gas adsorbent, and Figure 3 shows the state 30 minutes after the addition of the colored gas adsorbent. Indicates the state 60 minutes after the addition of the colored gas adsorbent.

[0037] From these figures, it was clearly confirmed that the color in the container in which the colored gas-adsorbing substance was disposed disappeared with time. Therefore, according to the above-mentioned method, the deodorizing effect of the product can be quickly and simply grasped with an image, and thus the method can be suitably used as a presentation method of the deodorizing effect of the product.

[0038] In addition, the above method can be used for evaluating the adsorptivity of the test substance by using an arbitrary test substance instead of the colored gas adsorbed substance, whereby a large number of test substances can be used. It is considered that a desired substance having an adsorptive property can be selected from the following. In other words, the above method can be suitably used as a method for screening for an adsorptive substance.
