Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention eliminates odors that cause discomfort in places where bad odors, crowds, cigarette smells, etc. are likely to occur, such as kennels, hospital rooms, and meeting rooms, keeping the room fresh. The present invention relates to an aromatic agent container for storing an encapsulated liquid aromatic agent used for.

Traditionally, fragrances have generally been in solid form, which are filled into containers in a gel-like state and then solidified after filling. Even if the container is sealed, it has the disadvantage that the fragrance naturally releases from gaps in the assembled container itself. On the other hand, fragrances that are liquid and encapsulated in small granular soft material capsules do not emit fragrance unless the capsules are broken, and therefore an appropriate amount can be used as needed.
High fragrance efficiency. In this case, it is convenient for use if the container itself is provided with a mechanism to crush and break the capsule.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance that is equipped with a crushing mechanism for a capsule filled with an aromatic liquid, and is therefore conveniently configured to accommodate a capsule-shaped fragrance.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In Figs. 1a and 1b, 1 is a container body, and the container body 1 has a circumferential wall body with a U-shaped cross section, that is, a cylindrical body with double inner and outer cylindrical walls 2 and 3 connected by a gently curved bottom surface. The inner cylindrical wall 2 is provided with a slope 4 that gently rises from the upper end periphery toward the center of the interior so as to close the upper end opening, and is then raised upright, and an umbrella-shaped portion 6 is provided at the upper end of the upright peripheral wall 5. Further, an outer wall 7 is provided standing upright from the middle of the gentle slope 4, and a ring-shaped capsule storage chamber 8 with an open top surface is formed between the outer wall 7 and the upright surrounding wall 5. The upper half of the cylindrical wall 3 has a double cylindrical wall 3a, 3b with a narrow gap, and a spiral groove 9 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical wall 3a. Incidentally, the outer wall body 7 is as shown in Fig. b.
Slopes 4, that is, storage chambers 8, are arranged at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction.
Vertical grooves 10 reaching the bottom wall are provided here and there, and spring receivers 11 are also formed at various places in the circumferential direction at the lower part of the outer surface of the outer wall body 7, avoiding the vertical grooves 10. Furthermore, the inner cylindrical wall 2 and the outer cylindrical wall 3
Support plates 12, which become lower toward the outer cylinder wall 3, are arranged radially at appropriate intervals so that the storage chamber wall 4 is extended. Reference numeral 13 is a donut-shaped moisture-absorbing paper that is highly water-absorbent and is placed on the upper surface of the support plate 12, and is used to absorb the liquid aromatic agent.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a peripheral wall forming an intermediate member of the container, in which a plurality of aroma emitting ports 15 are formed at appropriate intervals in the central body, and a protrusion 16 for engagement is provided around the inner surface of the upper end.
Further, it is assembled into the container body 1 by screwing a thread 17 formed on the outer surface of the lower part which is bent slightly inward and hanging down into the thread groove 9. This peripheral wall body 14 may be integrally constructed with the container body 1.

Reference numeral 18 designates a lid in the shape of an upside-down bowl, with the central part of the top hanging downward in a tapered manner to form a trumpet-shaped aromatic liquid-filled capsule inlet 19, and on the back side of the inlet 19 there are step-shaped members placed here and there in the circumferential direction. 20, and a coil spring 2 is formed between the stepped member 20 and the spring receiver 11.
1 is inserted and is always urged upward, but the protrusion 22 provided around the lower outer periphery of the hanging peripheral wall is connected to the protrusion 16.
It is mounted in the state shown in the figure so that it can be pushed down by being engaged with it. The lower end of the peripheral wall 23 forming the input port 19 is located directly above the capsule storage chamber 8, and the peripheral wall 23 has a capsule crushing function. Although the protrusions 16 and 22 are provided circumferentially in the above, they are discontinuous in the circumferential direction, and by turning the lid 18 to a point where the protrusions 16 and 22 do not match, the container body 1 can be easily removed. This is desirable because it can be removed from the

In the above-mentioned configuration, in use, the granular capsule 24 containing the liquid aromatic agent is inserted through the input port 19. Then, the capsule 24 rolls down from the umbrella-shaped portion 6 located at the center of the container body 1 and enters the capsule storage chamber 8. Then, the movable lid 18 is pressed downward against the spring 21 as shown by the arrow. Due to this pressure, the capsule inlet 19, that is, the lower end of the capsule crushing peripheral wall 23, is pushed down into the storage chamber 8, crushing and breaking the capsule 24, and the liquid aromatic agent comes out from inside and flows through the vertical groove 10 of the outer wall 7. It flows out and soaks into the moisture-absorbing paper 13, and the scent of this soaked aromatic agent is radiated to the outside from the fragrance emitting port 15.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which the moisture-absorbing paper support member 12 is extended outward from the bottom wall 4 of the capsule storage chamber 8, and through holes 25 are formed here and there in the circumferential direction. The inner cylindrical wall 2 and the outer cylindrical wall 3 are integrated by this support member 12,
Further, the lower half of the peripheral wall of the external cylindrical wall 3 is notched semicircularly at some places to form the aroma dispersion opening 15, and the remaining part is used as the foot 26, and the hanging peripheral wall of the lid 18 is extended downwardly, as shown in FIG. Intermediate peripheral wall body 1 in
4 is omitted. In this embodiment as well, the purpose is achieved in the same manner as in the first embodiment. That is, the fragrance of the aromatic agent that has permeated into the moisture-absorbing paper 13 by crushing the capsule 24 is transferred from the through hole 25 to the fragrance dispersion port 1.
5 and is emitted to the outside.

As described above, in the present invention, the center part of the top of the lid 18 is made to hang downward in a cylindrical shape to provide the inlet 19 for the aromatic liquid-filled capsule, and the hanging peripheral wall 23 forming the inlet 19 is collapsed into the capsule. It has a movable structure that allows the lid 18 to be pushed down, and a bottom wall 4 that slopes outward and is located directly below the capsule crushing peripheral wall 23 inside the container body.
A capsule storage chamber 8 is provided with an outer wall 7 provided with vertical grooves 10 so that the aromatic liquid can flow out from the capsule storage chamber 8, and a moisture-absorbing paper 13 for absorbing the aromatic liquid is placed on the outside of the capsule storage chamber 8. Since the capsules are disposed obliquely, all one has to do to release the fragrance is to put in the required amount of capsules 24 from the inlet 19 and then push down the lid 18, making it extremely easy to use.

That is, in the present invention, since the capsule crushing mechanism is attached to the container itself, there is no need for a separate crushing mechanism, which is convenient. In addition, the lid 18 is fitted into the container body 1.
Since it is a removable type that can be attached to the capsule 24, there is no inconvenience in removing the shell of the used capsule 24. Further, since the capsule storage section, the moisture absorbent paper support section, and the crushing mechanism section are housed within the container, the design of the container exterior is not impaired.
