Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a storage container for a fragrance, particularly a gel fragrance.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, commercially available fragrances include fragrances made by impregnating a gel-like fragrance into a highly elastic porous material made of synthetic resin, and fragrances made by simply solidifying a gel-like fragrance.

Furthermore, as a unique storage container for fragrances, there is a technique described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 14803/1983. The technique described in the above-mentioned publication relates to an aromatic agent in which a gel-like aromatic agent is filled in a container having an opening at the top and a rising piece inside.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Among the above-mentioned fragrances, in the case of those that are simply solidified gel-like fragrances, the skin of the gel-like fragrance hardens as the aromatic active ingredients of the gel-like fragrance evaporate, and cracks appear in the hardened skin. The fragrance continued to be produced. However, the distance between the cracks is determined by the size of the air freshener, and with air fresheners sold commercially for home use, the fragrance production decreases dramatically after about 10 days, and even with air fresheners of commercial size.
The amount of fragrance produced decreased drastically in about a week, and it was not possible to produce a uniform fragrance for a long period of time.

Therefore, by impregnating a gel-like aromatic agent into a highly elastic porous synthetic resin material, the volume of the synthetic resin body is actively changed by vaporizing the aromatic active ingredient, and many shallow cracks are created in the skin. Products that lengthen the vaporization period of the active aromatic ingredients have come to be used, but since the surface area that contributes to aroma generation changes as the volume of the synthetic resin changes, it is difficult to make it uniform. The generation of aromatic active ingredients can only be extended for about one week.

In addition, the technology described in the above publication can vaporize the aromatic active ingredient almost uniformly in the initial state, but if a large number of rising pieces are provided, the evaporation of the aromatic active ingredient increases and the odor increases. Because it becomes stronger, it can no longer be called an aroma, and the period of its occurrence becomes shorter. When the number of rising pieces is small, the generation of aromatic active ingredients is reduced, and the generation period cannot be prolonged.

However, it is desirable for the aromatic agent to be uniformly vaporized at all times and to maintain this state for about one month or more as desired by consumers.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an aromatic agent storage container in which a substantially uniform aromatic active ingredient is vaporized and this state can be maintained for a long period of time.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention consists of a plurality of stacked frames for storing fragrances in compartments.

[Effect]

By configuring the aromatic agent storage container in this way, the evaporation of the aromatic active ingredients of the aromatic agent in the uppermost tier and the evaporation of the fragrant active ingredients of the aromatic agent in the lower tier,
First, the vaporization of the aromatic active ingredients starts from the aromatic agent in the uppermost tier, and the vaporization of the fragrant active ingredients in the frame that stores the aromatic agent in the lower tier starts later than in the uppermost tier.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an exploded view of parts of a fragrance storage container according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the container main body 10 consists of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped aromatic agent storage section 11 and a flange section 12 at the open end. The flange 12 is a surface for joining a sealing member (not shown) for sealing the fragrance, and the shape of the flange is selected depending on the joining means.

The lower frame body 20 has a structure in which the partition pieces 21 to 24 are integrated at the center. That is, partition pieces 21 to 24 are arranged radially from the center. The lower frame body 20 may be formed by integral injection molding, or may be formed by assembly or bonding. However, integral molding is more efficient and can be manufactured at a lower cost. The lengths of the partition pieces 21 to 24 are determined so that they are located at the four corners of the container body 10. The length does not necessarily have to be in contact with the four corners. It is sufficient if the length is long enough to stop rotation.

The upper frame 30 is a frame formed similarly to the lower frame 20. The difference from the lower frame body 20 is that
The length is the same as that of the partition pieces 31 to 34. That is, partition piece 3
The lengths of the partition pieces 31 and 33 and the lengths of the partition pieces 32 and 34 are determined so that the lengths 1 to 34 are equal to the length of one side of the fragrance storage section 11. Therefore, the lower frame body 2 is placed in the aromatic agent storage section 11.
0 and the upper frame 30 are housed, the four sides of the container body 10 do not deform inward. That is, when an external force is applied to the surface of the container body 10, the surface may curve inward and become disconnected from the sealing member, but the partition pieces 31 to 34 of the upper frame 30 restrain the inward displacement. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sealing member from separating, and also to prevent the container body 10 from being damaged by external force.
It is possible to prevent destruction of the surface that forms the surface.

As shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, each component configured in this way includes a lower frame 20 and an upper frame 30 housed in the container body 10. In the figure, the upper frame 30 and the lower frame 20 are arranged on the same axis, but in carrying out the present invention, it is not limited to setting both on the same axis. .

The fragrance storage container of the embodiment in which the lower frame body 20 and the upper frame body 30 are housed in the container body 10 has a second
The cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 3 is taken along the line AA in the figure.

FIG. 3a shows a case in which the aromatic agent 40 is filled into the container body. Its height is equal to the position of the upper side of the upper frame 30. In the initial state when the aromatic agent 40 is opened, the aromatic active ingredients are vaporized from the upper surface 41 of the aromatic agent defined by the upper frame 30, as shown in b. Next, as shown in c, the aromatic agent 40
2. That is, the aromatic active ingredient is vaporized from the side of the contact surface with the inner wall of the main container 10. The surface of the fragrance separated by the upper frame 30 is contracted and hardened by the vaporization of the fragrance active ingredient, causing the upper surface of the fragrance separated by the lower frame 20 to contract, as shown in d. Then, the aromatic active ingredients are vaporized from the outer periphery 43. Furthermore, as the aromatic active ingredient on the outer periphery 43 progresses, the aromatic active ingredient is vaporized from the surface 45 that was in contact with the bottom surface of the main container 10, as shown in e. At this time, the aromatic active ingredients on the skin of the aromatic agent separated by the upper frame 30 have almost completed vaporization, and the partition pieces 21 to 24 of the lower frame 20 have almost completely vaporized.
The lower frame 20 is prevented from descending at its upper end, and a crack 44 appears between it and the aromatic agent partitioned in the lower frame 20, which is contracted and hardened. Due to the cracks 44, the aromatic active ingredients of the aromatic agent are vaporized from there as well, and the main container 10
When the aroma active ingredient evaporates from the surface 45 that was in contact with the bottom surface of the partition pieces 21 to 21, as shown in f,
24 and the aromatic active ingredient evaporates from the inner surface 46. At the same time, since the aromatic active ingredient is vaporized from the crack 44, the aromatic active ingredient is eventually vaporized from the fragrance, and the air is formed in the cavities 47 and 48 surrounded by the hardened skin, as shown in g.
The remaining aromatic active ingredients are vaporized.

In this way, in the first embodiment, the upper frame body 30
The aromatic agent separated by the four partition pieces 31 to 34 descends in a partitioned state as the aromatic active ingredient evaporates, and passes through the four partition pieces 21 to 34 of the lower frame 20.
The upper end of 24 prevents its descent, and
Upper and lower partition pieces 31 to 34 and partition piece 21
The surfaces 24 to 24 and the inner wall of the container body 10 allow the evaporation of the aromatic active ingredient from the aromatic agent to progress.

The upper frame 30 and the lower frame 20 of the first embodiment
The upper and lower stages can also be reversed and used as shown in the developed view of FIG. Of course, the fragrance storage portion of the container body 10 can also be formed into a substantially cylindrical shape. At this time, the partition pieces 21 to 24 and 31 to 34 of the upper frame body 30 and the lower frame body 20 installed inside the container body can also be made to have the same length.

Further, the embodiment can be modified in various ways as follows.

FIG. 5 is a developed view of a fragrance storage container according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, points different from the first embodiment will be explained.

The container body 10a has a cylindrical fragrance storage section 11a.
It has the following. The lower frame body 20a has eight partition pieces arranged radially. Further, the upper frame body 30a also has eight partition pieces arranged radially. Normally, the lengths of the two partition pieces on the straight line of the upper and lower frames 30a and 20a are:
The diameter is set approximately equal to the diameter of the container body 10a. However, it is not necessarily limited to this. In addition, the upper frame body and the lower frame body 30a and 2
0a is stacked coaxially, but even if the axis is shifted slightly, the effect will not be affected in any way.

In the second embodiment, the upper frame 30a and the lower frame 2
0a is composed of eight partition pieces, but as can be seen from the first example and this example, the number of partition pieces for the upper frame and the lower frame is determined according to the number of partition pieces for carrying out the present invention. It is not limited in any way. Also, regarding its shape, it may be a combination of the upper frame 30a and the lower frame 20a used in the first and second embodiments, or a combination of the upper frame 30a and the lower frame 20.

FIG. 6 is a developed view of a fragrance storage container according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

The difference from the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the upper frame body 30b has a partition piece 31b having a concentric cylindrical shape,
32b and 33b. A connection piece (not shown) is provided between the partition pieces 31b, 32b, and 33b to connect the partition pieces to each other. The connection pieces are simply the partition pieces 31b, 32b,
It may be anything that determines the position of 33b. Alternatively, when the radial partition pieces of the lower frame body 20a are given this function, or when the upper frame body 30b and the lower frame body 20
If a is integrally molded, this connecting piece is not necessary. FIG. 7 shows a diagram of the completed assembly of the fragrance storage container of this third embodiment. In this case as well, the upper frame 30b and the lower frame 30a may be reversely arranged, or they may be combined with the upper or lower frame of the first embodiment. Moreover, you may combine the upper stage frame body and the lower stage frame body whose partition pieces have different diameters.

In this way, the present invention has a specific shape for the upper frame body and the lower frame body, that is, the radial shape shown in the embodiment,
The structure does not require a specific shape, such as a concentric cylinder or a lattice shape, and simply stacks two or three frames of a structure that can separate fragrances, thereby creating multiple layers. It can also be implemented by The multi-layered frame does not require that many frames, and can be integrally molded by injection molding, etc., and in this way, workability can be improved. . and,
By changing the height of the frame depending on the type of aromatic agent, that is, the type of gelling agent, a substantially uniform aromatic active ingredient is always vaporized depending on the type of aromatic agent, and, This state can be maintained for a long period of time.

Furthermore, although the above embodiments have been described on the assumption that a gel-like aromatic agent is used, the same effect can be obtained even if the gel-like aromatic agent is impregnated into a porous material.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the aromatic agent storage container of the present invention, which consists of a container body in which multiple frames are internally arranged to partition the aromatic agent in a two-dimensional manner, vaporizes the aromatic active ingredient of the aromatic agent in the lower layer, and Since the vaporization is started later than the vaporization of the fragrance active ingredient of the fragrance agent, a substantially uniform aromatic active ingredient is vaporized, and this state can be maintained for a long period of time.
