Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air freshener container for filling and containing air freshener used in indoor air fresheners, toilets and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various fragrances such as gel fragrances, porous fragrances impregnated with liquid fragrance, and fragrances kneaded into resins. When using these fragrances, they are stored in a fixed container. Then, a method is used in which an opening portion through which the aroma flows is opened in this container, and the aroma is volatilized to the outside through this opening to release the aroma into the room or the like.

And, in order to adjust the intensity of this aroma,
It was generally performed by a method of adjusting the opening area provided in the fragrance container. Further, a method of filling an aerosol container, a dispenser container or the like with a fragrance liquid and spraying it into the atmosphere is also used.

[0004]

The above-mentioned gelling agent is mixed with a fragrance, a gel-like fragrance, a fragrance containing a fragrance liquid impregnated into a porous body, a fragrance formed by kneading a fragrance into a resin, etc. The fragrance container in which the above is stored in the fragrance container to volatilize the fragrance to the outside has the advantage that the fragrance of the fragrance can be discharged to the outside at all times.

However, it is not possible to deal with the case where the fragrance of the fragrance is strongly diffused and volatilized, such as after using the toilet. Further, in the method of spraying the fragrance liquid in a mist form such as an aerosol container and a dispenser container to spray the fragrance into a room or the like, it is possible to temporarily diffuse a strong fragrance, but always, It has the drawback that the fragrance cannot be volatilized indoors.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is intended to always volatilize and diffuse a fixed amount of aroma, and to diffuse a large amount of aroma as needed. Is.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention covers the opening of the container body filled with the fragrance with a lid having a U-shaped cross section, and A scent is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the container body and the inner peripheral surface of the lid so as to be larger than the outer diameter of the container body, and a pressing spring is interposed between the inner surface of the container main body and the lid. And the lid body is biased in the opening direction from the container body.

The pressing spring may be formed by a coil spring having a large diameter in the lid direction and a small diameter in the container body direction.

Further, the lid body may be one in which an engaging convex portion is projected on the inner surface of the top plate, and one end of a pressing spring formed by a coil spring is engaged with the engaging convex portion.

Further, the pressing spring may be formed by a coil spring, and one end thereof may be fixedly fixed to the inner surface of the top plate of the lid by a fixing tape.

[0011]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
The fragrance filled in the fragrance container is volatilized in the fragrance container due to its volatility, and fills the fragrance container. The lid body that covers the opening of the container body of this fragrance container has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the container body, and between the outer peripheral surface of the container body and the inner peripheral surface of the lid, the fragrance distribution interval. Is formed. Therefore, in a normal state, the fragrance can flow out through this distribution interval to constantly diffuse the fragrance to the surroundings.

When it is desired to diffuse the fragrance particularly strongly after using the toilet, the lid is pressed toward the container body. The lid body has a pressing spring interposed between the container body and the inner surface and urges the container body in the opening direction. Therefore, by pressing the lid body toward the container body, the container body and the lid body are pressed. The fragrance of the fragrance, which fills the retention space between and, can be temporarily discharged from the distribution interval to the outside, and a large amount of fragrance can be released to the surroundings.

When the pressing force applied to the lid is released, the lid is restored to its original position by the restoring force of the pressing bar, but at that time, the volume of the retention space expands, so that the pressure inside the retention space is slightly reduced. The fragrance further intensifies from the fragrance into the retention space along with the reduced pressure. Then, by pressing the lid body against the container body again, it becomes possible to forcibly discharge the aroma present in the retention space to the outside again through the distribution interval. Therefore, by repeating the pressing of the lid body a required number of times, it is possible to strongly release the fragrance of the fragrance to the outside.

Also, the central portion of the top plate of the lid is projected inward,
If one end of the pressing bar is engaged and fixed to the engaging protrusion, the position of the pressing bar can be stabilized and the lid can be moved up and down smoothly.

Further, if one end of the pressing bar is fixed to the inner surface of the top plate of the lid with a fastening tape, the position of the pressing bar is stabilized and the lid is moved up and down in the same manner as above. It is possible to move up and down in a stable state. Further, since this stability can be obtained by the fastening tape, the product can be obtained at a lower cost than the method of providing the engaging convex portion.
