JP4795330B2 - Volatilizer - Google Patents

Description

    The present invention relates to a volatilizer that volatilizes chemicals such as fragrances and deodorants in the surrounding space.

  Conventionally, a volatilizer that volatilizes a chemical solution such as a fragrance and a deodorant is configured to lead out a chemical solution stored in a container through a liquid absorption core immersed in the chemical solution and volatilize it to the outside. Yes. Further, a container that is transparent or translucent and can be seen through from the outside is used so that the remaining amount of the stored chemical solution can be seen from the outside.

  Thus, since the container of the volatilizer has a structure that allows the inside to be seen through, even the liquid absorption core immersed in the chemical solution inside can be seen from the outside, and the merchantability is reduced. Therefore, by coloring the chemical liquid, the liquid absorption core is concealed by the colored chemical liquid to prevent a drop in merchantability, or by devising the shape of the container, the liquid absorption core is reduced by being visible. Attempts have also been made to improve merchantability.

  However, in order to prevent the merchantability from being lowered by coloring the chemical liquid, it is necessary to increase the coloring concentration to such an extent that the liquid absorption core can be concealed, and it is necessary to mix a large amount of pigment in the chemical liquid. For this reason, the pigment is clogged in the liquid absorbent core, the liquid absorbent capacity of the liquid absorbent core is lowered, and the volatility of the volatilizer is lowered.

  In addition, if the shape of the container is devised, the shape of the product itself is fixed, so that the viewer's vision can not be often stimulated, and thus the merchantability that has been reduced due to the appearance of the liquid absorption core. It was not enough to increase.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a conventional subject, and it aims at providing the volatilizer which can aim at the improvement of merchantability, without reducing volatilization capability.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the first aspect of the present invention, the chemical solution contained in a container that can be seen through the inside is led out through a liquid absorbent core immersed in the chemical solution, and volatilized outside. In the volatilizer to be used, a gelled body made of a highly water-absorbent synthetic resin is accommodated in the container together with the chemical solution in a freely movable state, and the peripheral surface of the container is textured.

  In such a configuration, when the gelled body made of the highly water-absorbing synthetic resin is accommodated in a container together with the chemical solution, the gelled body absorbs the chemical solution and swells to increase the volume. Therefore, depending on the angle viewed by the gelled body whose volume has increased, the liquid absorption core is concealed, and the deterioration of the merchantability due to the liquid absorption core being visible is suppressed. In addition, for example, when installed in the car interior of a car, if the container moves due to the start stop or shaking of the car, the free gelled body will move, so the internal state of the container will change completely, and the viewer The sight is stimulated. Therefore, the liquid-absorbent core is concealed depending on the viewing angle, and the deterioration of merchantability is suppressed, and the gelled body is moved freely, the internal state of the container is changed and the vision is stimulated. Thus, the merchantability of the volatilizer is significantly improved.

  Further, since it is not necessary to color the chemical solution at a high concentration, there is no decrease in volatilization ability due to clogging of the pigment. Therefore, the merchantability can be improved without reducing the volatilization ability.

  In addition, the peripheral surface of the container is textured. Therefore, the peripheral surface of the container becomes translucent and the concealment degree of the absorbent core is increased, and the gelled body in the interior looks muddy so that the product can have a soft feeling.

  Moreover, in invention of Claim 2, multiple said gelled bodies are accommodated. Therefore, the concealment degree of the liquid absorbent core is increased, and the merchantability is also improved.

  Moreover, in invention of Claim 3, the said gelled body is colored. Therefore, each time the container is moved, the colored gelled body is moved to stimulate the viewer's vision.

  In the invention according to claim 4, the chemical solution is colored, and the gelled body is colored in a color different from that of the chemical solution. Therefore, when the container is moved, the colored gelled body is moved in different liquid chemicals, and the viewer's vision is strongly stimulated.

  In the invention described in claim 5, the plurality of gelled bodies are colored in different colors. Therefore, when the container is moved, the gelled bodies of different colors move and the viewer's vision is strongly stimulated.

  Moreover, in invention of Claim 6, the surrounding surface of the said container is made into the polyhedral shape. Therefore, when the gelled body floating inside the container is viewed from the outside, it is felt that the movement of the gelled body changes suddenly visually, and the vision is stimulated.

  In the invention according to claim 7, the liquid absorption core is formed of a deformed monofilament made of synthetic resin. The liquid absorbent core made of this synthetic resin deformed monofilament has better liquid absorption performance than the felt core, and can absorb a larger amount of liquid than a felt core having a much larger diameter than a felt core. Therefore, the concealment degree of the liquid absorption core by the gelled body is relatively increased by using the liquid absorption core made of the deformed monofilament made of synthetic resin.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a gelled body made of a highly water-absorbent synthetic resin is accommodated in a container in a movable state together with a chemical solution. Therefore, the gelled body that has swollen and increased its volume due to water absorption of the chemical liquid can conceal the liquid absorption core and prevent deterioration in commercial properties due to the liquid absorption core being visible. In addition, when the container is moved by stopping or shaking the car, as in the case of installing in a car cabin, the gelled body will move freely, and the internal state of the container will change dramatically, stimulating the viewer's vision. Is done. Therefore, depending on the viewing angle, the liquid-absorbing core is concealed to suppress a decrease in merchantability, and the gelled body moves freely and the internal state of the container is changed so that the vision is stimulated. Thus, the merchantability of the volatilizer can be significantly improved. Further, since it is not necessary to color the chemical solution at a high concentration, the volatilization ability is not reduced due to the clogging of the pigment, and therefore, the merchantability can be improved without reducing the volatilization ability. In addition, since the peripheral surface of the container has been subjected to a graining process, not only the concealment degree of the liquid absorption core is increased, but the gelled body inside appears to give a soft feeling to the product. Productivity can be improved.

  Further, a plurality of gelled bodies are accommodated, or the gelled bodies are colored or the chemical liquid is colored, and the gelled body is colored in a color different from the chemical liquid. Therefore, when the container is moved, the colored gelled body can float in different color chemicals and strongly stimulate the visual perception of the viewer, thereby only improving the merchantability. Rather, it can function as a decoration. At this time, since the liquid absorbent core is concealed by the gelled body, it is not necessary to increase the color concentration of the chemical liquid. Therefore, there is little clogging of the liquid absorbent core due to the pigment contained in the chemical liquid, and volatilization of volatilization The ability is not reduced.

  In addition, since the peripheral surface of the container has a multi-faceted shape, when the gelled body floating inside the container is viewed from the outside, it seems that the movement of the gelled body visually changes suddenly. Thus, the sight is stimulated, and thereby the function as a decoration can be enhanced.

  Moreover, since the liquid absorption core is made of a synthetic resin deformed monofilament, a predetermined liquid absorption capacity can be secured even if the liquid absorption core has a thin diameter, and therefore a predetermined old liquid capacity can be secured. The concealment degree of the liquid absorbent core by the gelled body can be relatively increased.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the volatilizer 1 according to the present embodiment includes a transparent plastic container 2, and the container 2 includes a bottom surface portion 3, a peripheral surface portion 4, and an opening 5a.

As shown in FIG. 2, an inner lid 10 is fitted into the opening 5 a, and one end of a liquid absorbent core 11 is fitted into the center of the inner lid 10. The absorbent core 11 has a large diameter portion 11a fitted to the center portion of the inner lid 10 and a small diameter in which the upper end portion is coupled to the large diameter portion 11a and the lower end portion contacts the bottom surface portion 3 of the container 2. It is comprised with the part 11b. The large-diameter portion 11a is composed of a polyethylene particle sintered body and a polyester fiber that are bound and bonded with an adhesive or the like. The small-diameter portion 11b is composed of a deformed monofilament (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-166243) made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polyacetal, nylon, or polyolefin, and is extruded using a die having a cross-sectional shape similar to that of the monofilament. Molded by a molding machine.

  A filter paper holder 12 is disposed around the neck 5, and a filter paper 13 is placed on the filter paper holder 12. When the use lid is removed, the large-diameter portion 11 a of the liquid absorbent core 11 is in contact with the central portion of the filter paper 13 by removing the discard lid 9.

  An outer lid 14 is disposed on the filter paper 13. A plurality of volatilization openings 14 a are formed on the upper surface of the outer lid 14, and a protruding edge portion 14 b is formed at the lower end of the peripheral portion. Then, the outer lid 14 is coupled to the container 2 by engaging the protruding edge portion 14 b with a recess 2 a formed on the upper portion of the peripheral surface 4 of the container 2.

  Inside the container 2, a chemical solution 15 that generates a predetermined medicinal effect by volatilization of a fragrance, a deodorant, a fungicide, an insect repellent, and the like is accommodated, and the liquid absorbent core 11 is contained in the chemical solution 15. The small-diameter portion 11b is immersed. Further, a plurality of gelled bodies 16 are accommodated in the container 2 together with the chemical solution 15.

  The gelled body 16 is a highly water-absorbing synthetic resin, and is, for example, a polymerizable monomer that becomes water-soluble or water-soluble by hydrolysis into polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose, such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. Acid, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, maleic acid, sulfonated styrene, polyvinyl pyridine, etc., or oligomers thereof or Hydrophilic polymer graft-polymerized with co-oligomer and hydrophilic polymer hydrolyzed if necessary after kraft polymerization, or polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sulfonated polystyrene, polyvinyl pyridine, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylate Le salt, such as a hydrophilic polymer such as polyacrylic acid amide that three-dimensionally polymerized by cross-linking agent is used.

  In this embodiment, the gelled body 16 contains a pigment to be colored in a predetermined color (for example, pink), while the chemical solution 15 is colorless and transparent.

  In the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, when the gelled body 16 made of the highly water-absorbing synthetic resin is accommodated in the container 2 together with the chemical liquid 15, the gelled body 16 absorbs the chemical liquid 15 and swells. As shown in 2, the volume increases. Therefore, depending on the angle seen by the gelled body 16 whose volume has increased, the small diameter part 11b of the liquid absorbent core 11 is concealed, and the deterioration of the merchantability due to the small diameter part 11b of the liquid absorbent core 11 being visible is prevented. Is done.

  In addition, for example, when the container 2 is moved by stopping and shaking of the automobile, as in the case where it is installed in the interior of the automobile, a plurality of colored gelled bodies 16 are idled. Changes completely, and the viewer's vision is stimulated. Therefore, depending on the viewing angle, the small-diameter portion 11b of the liquid absorbent core 11 is concealed to suppress a reduction in merchantability, and the gelled body 16 is moved freely, and the internal state of the container 2 is changed drastically and the vision is stimulated. Combined with this, the merchantability of the volatilizer 1 is significantly improved.

  Further, since it is not necessary to color the chemical solution 15 at a high concentration, the liquid absorption core 11 is not clogged with the pigment, and the volatilization ability is not reduced due to the clogging. Therefore, the merchantability can be improved without reducing the volatilization ability.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the peripheral surface portion 4 of the container 2 has a plurality of concave stripes 6 and convex surface portions 7 and is formed into a polyhedral shape. When the chemicalized body 16 is viewed from the outside, it is felt that the movement of the gelled body 16 changes abruptly visually, and the vision is stimulated. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the peripheral surface portion 4 of the container 2 is also subjected to the texture processing, the peripheral surface portion 4 of the container 2 becomes translucent and the concealment degree of the small diameter portion 11b of the liquid absorbent core 11 is increased.
