DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0010]
A container 1 for a volatile liquid of the present invention includes a cap B in which an upper end opening of a cylindrical main body 2 mounted on a container body A for storing a volatile liquid is closed by a lid 3 so as to be opened and closed. The volatilizing paper 4 communicated with the volatilization liquid is accommodated, and the volatilization liquid sucked up on the volatilization paper 4 is volatilized.
[0011]
The container body A can be used in various forms as long as it has an open upper end for containing volatile liquids such as fragrances and deodorants. In the illustrated example, the container body A is contracted from the cylindrical body 5. A bottle-type container body A is used in which a diameter neck and neck (not shown) is erected.
[0012]
As described above, the cap B is composed of the cylindrical main body 2 mounted on the container body A and the lid body 3 that closes the upper end opening of the main body so as to be openable and closable. Store. Moreover, you may comprise so that the main body 2 and / or the cover body 3 may make a window hole, and to volatilize volatilization liquid from this window hole. In the illustrated example, the cap B has a lower end fitted to the upper end of the body 5 of the container A and the main body 2 is mounted on the container A, and a window hole 7 is formed in the peripheral wall 6. . In addition, the lid 3 has a top wall 10 extending from an upper end edge of the peripheral wall 9 for fitting the lower end portion to the upward stepped portion 8 at the upper end of the main body peripheral wall 6, and the rear lower end of the peripheral wall 9 is connected to the rear upper end of the main body peripheral wall 6. It is connected so that it can rotate.
[0013]
In the present invention, a maintenance mechanism a for the lid 3 is provided. The maintenance mechanism a is configured so that the state of the lid 3 can be maintained at a plurality of opening / closing angles, and the specific structure thereof can be variously selected.
[0014]
As an example of the maintenance mechanism a, in a portion where the lid 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 2, a regular polygonal column-shaped shaft and an outer peripheral surface of the shaft are fitted so as to be relatively rotatable, And an open ring bearing having a regular polygonal columnar fitting inner surface similar to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft. These are forcibly rotated with respect to the corresponding bearing or shaft, and are then stably maintained at a position where the outer peripheral surface of the shaft and the inner surface of the bearing fit perfectly. In this case, the regular polygonal column is preferably a regular pentagonal column or more.
[0015]
For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a regular octagonal column-shaped shaft 12 is spanned between a pair of recesses 11 recessed at the upper rear end of the body peripheral wall 6, while from the lower end of the rear end of the peripheral wall 9 of the lid 3. A pair of bearings 13 are suspended from the corresponding positions of the shaft 12. Each bearing 13 has an open annular shape with an open lower end, and an inner surface is provided with a regular octagonal columnar inner surface that fits perfectly with the shaft 12. Therefore, in this case, if the lid body 3 is rotated from the closed state, it is forced. Thus, the bearing 13 is rotated, and it is in a state of being fitted again in a state of being rotated 45 degrees, so that a stable open state can be maintained. Therefore, it is configured to be in a stable state at intervals of 45 degrees.
[0016]
Further, as another configuration of the maintenance mechanism a, a configuration in which a cylindrical shaft and a bearing fitted to the outer periphery of the shaft so as to be capable of relative rotation are also included. In this case, the state can be maintained at an arbitrary opening / closing angle, but it is necessary to tightly fit the shaft and the bearing to the extent that mutual rotation is possible.
[0017]
The volatilization paper 4 is for absorbing the volatilization liquid in the container body A and volatilizing it from the surface. In the present invention, one end is fixed in the main body 2 and the other end is fixed to the lid 3. The lid 3 is mounted in a folded state that can be expanded and contracted as the lid 3 is opened and closed. As the material of the volatile paper 4, those conventionally used for the volatile paper of this seed container can be used, and examples thereof include paper and synthetic resin. The size of the volatile paper 4 or the number of folding parts when the volatile paper 4 is folded can be appropriately selected depending on the size of the container, the allowable opening angle of the lid 3, and the like, and is not particularly limited. It is sufficient if the size and the number of bent portions are such that it expands without detaching when the lid is opened to the maximum, and contracts to the original state when the lid is closed again.
[0018]
As a means for the volatile paper 4 to absorb the volatile liquid in the container body, the means employed in this type of conventional container can be used. For example, the upper end faces the container body neck and the neck, and the lower end is placed in the container body. An example is a method in which the back surface of the volatile paper is brought into contact with the upper end of a suction core having a large water absorption that is suspended and fixed to the lower end. Moreover, the fixing means of each edge part of the volatile paper 4 can be suitably provided in the main body 2 or the lid 3, for example, a plurality of hook-shaped fixing means for fixing the periphery of the volatile paper 4, and the surface of the volatile paper 4. A fixing means for providing the presser plate 16 to be pressed, or a fixing means using both of them can be adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary to be able to be fixed in a state where the cover 3 can be expanded and contracted.
[0019]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the volatile paper 4 has a rectangular shape as a whole, and is folded in a zigzag manner at equal intervals in the bent portion 14, and is a support plate that is suspended in the main body 2. One end is placed on 15 and fixed by a pressing plate 16 protruding from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 6 of the main body. The other end is fixed to the back surface of the top wall 10 of the lid 3 by a press plate 16 protruding from the back surface of the top wall 10, and the opposite edge of the press plate 16 is protruded from the back surface of the top wall 10. It is locked by a hook 17. In addition, the back surface is configured to absorb the liquid in the container body by contacting the upper end of a suction core (not shown) protruding from the inside of the container body neck and neck (not shown).
[0020]
Such a volatilizing paper 4 can change the volatilization amount of the liquid richer in change in combination with the existence of the maintenance mechanism a. That is, when the lid 3 is opened with a small opening / closing angle, the opening area between the main body 2 and the lid 3 is small, and the extension of the folded volatile paper 4 is small, so that the volatilization amount is small and the opening / closing angle is small. As they become larger, they become larger and the volatilization amount also becomes larger. In addition, although the amount of volatilization increases as in the conventional product when the opening / closing angle of the lid is increased, the amount of the volatilization liquid absorbed in the volatilization paper 4 is larger than that in the conventional product in the present invention. Therefore, the change becomes large compared with the conventional product.
[0021]
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, and in this embodiment, an example using another form of the volatile paper 4 is shown. The volatile paper 4 in this embodiment is different from the case of the above embodiment in that the folding paper 4 is folded at a folding portion 14 that runs in the left-right direction, and one end projects from the peripheral wall 6 of the main body. The other end portion is provided with a strip 18 protruding from the other end, and the strip 18 is fitted and fixed between a pair of hooks 17 on the back surface of the lid top wall 10. In addition, the number of bent portions 14 is also two.
[0022]
In each of the above-described embodiments, the main body 2 and the lid body 3 are separately formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main body 2 and the lid body 3 may be integrally formed. In that case, the maintenance mechanism a having a different structure is employed. For example, a rod-like projection having a plurality of locking projections protruding from the lower surface of the lid is integrally projected from the lower surface of the lid body, while each locking projection is engaged with the main body. A coupling portion may be provided so that each locking projection can be sequentially engaged with the engaging portion, or other structures may be employed.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the container for volatilization liquid of the present invention has the above-described configuration, so that the amount of volatilization liquid can be adjusted in multiple steps by simple operations as necessary, and the structure is specially complicated. It is not a thing but is simple and exhibits effects such as easy manufacture.
[0024]
Further, at a portion where the lid 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 2, a regular polygonal columnar shaft 12 is fitted to the outer periphery of the shaft 12 so as to be relatively rotatable, and the shaft 12 In the case of providing a maintenance mechanism constituted by an open annular bearing 13 having a regular polygonal columnar fitting inner surface similar to the outer peripheral surface, the lid body 3 can be more reliably maintained at the predetermined angle open state. Combines benefits.
