Description

The present invention relates to a liquid volatilizing container that can withstand severe temperature changes without problems such as volatile liquid spraying out of the container, and is suitable for use in vehicles, etc., as it allows easy visual confirmation of the remaining liquid level.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, liquid volatilizing containers that contain liquid deodorizing fragrances and the like and that can be attached to a predetermined location in an automobile are known to have a wide variety of shapes and structures.
A direct liquid type liquid volatilization container that directly stores a liquid deodorizer is composed of at least a container that directly stores a volatile liquid such as a liquid deodorizer, and a porous body that promotes evaporation.

Conventional direct liquid type liquid volatilization containers for vehicles, etc. include, for example:
1) A deodorant container that can be easily and optimally attached to the louvers of an automobile air conditioner or the like, prevents the deodorant container from falling off the louvers, or prevents the deodorant from volatilizing away too quickly due to the direction of the airflow from the louvers, and makes it easy to check the amount of deodorant remaining in the container body, the deodorant container having a container body that stores the deodorant through an opening at the top, and a manual pump attached to the opening at the top of the container body, and the deodorant inside the container body is discharged from a discharge nozzle of the manual pump by operating the manual pump, the deodorant container being characterized in that a cap member is attached to the discharge nozzle of the manual pump, a cylindrical part that fits into the volatilization hole and the discharge nozzle is formed in the cap member, an impregnated body is attached to the outside of the cylindrical part, and the deodorant discharged from the discharge nozzle is impregnated into the impregnated body, and the container body is housed in a cover case (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

2) A volatilization container capable of efficiently volatilizing a volatilization agent, comprising: a container body in which a volatilization agent is stored; a support member that supports the container body in an inverted position with its mouth facing downward so that the container body can move up and down; a stopper body that is disposed on the support member and fitted liquid-tightly into the mouth of the container body; and an impregnated body that is disposed on a portion of the support member located below the stopper and is impregnated with a volatilization agent, in order to provide a volatilization container that can efficiently volatilize a volatilization agent (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

3) In order to provide a drug volatilizer that allows a user to easily control the opening amount of an air vent formed in the housing, a drug volatilizer that is installed near an air outlet comprises: a container that contains a drug and has a hole through which the drug seeps out; a first case that holds the container so as to cover it from the outside; and a second case that holds the first case so as to cover it from the outside and is configured to be rotatable relative to the first case around a rotation axis that extends in the front-to-rear direction, wherein an air vent is formed in the first case, and the second case rotates around the rotation axis relative to the first case to move between a closed position that closes the air vent of the first case and a closed position that closes the air vent of the first case. A chemical vaporizer that can be switched between a closed position and an open position, and a closed position in which the mouth is open, and one of a first locking element and a plurality of second locking elements arranged around the rotation axis is provided on the first case and the other is provided on the second case, and the first locking element is configured to be locked to the plurality of second locking elements in sequence as the second case rotates around the rotation axis relative to the first case, and the first locking element is locked to one of the plurality of second locking elements when the second case is in the closed position, and is locked to another of the plurality of second locking elements when the second case is in the open position (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

4) A scent tester that can provide a scent tester that can maintain a long-lasting scent without having to worry about securing installation space, comprising a flat body portion that defines an internal space and has an opening that connects the internal space to an external space, a scent holder that is housed in the internal space and retains scent components, and a handle that is at least partially located outside the internal space and connected to the scent holder, for pulling the scent holder out of the internal space through the opening (see, for example, Patent Document 4).
etc. are known.

However, with the in-car deodorizer containers and the like described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, the temperature inside the vehicle changes drastically during the day on sunny days, rising to, for example, around 80°C on the dashboard and around 60°C near the air conditioner vent. Furthermore, because the liquid deodorizer composition is a volatile liquid, severe temperature changes can cause the volatile liquid to spray out of the container, and there are currently no adequate countermeasures to address this issue.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-202014 (Claims, Figures 1 to 4) JP 2016-190670 A (Claims, Figure 1) JP 2020-104920 A (claims, FIG. 1, etc.) JP 2021-104108 A (claims, FIG. 1, etc.)

Note that the reference numerals commonly used in the drawings represent the same configurations or components even if not specifically mentioned in the description of each drawing.

(First embodiment, overall configuration)
FIG. 1 shows an example of a liquid volatilizing container of the first embodiment, where (a) is a perspective view showing a liquid volatilizing container equipped with a clip when not in use (cap ON), and (b) is a perspective view showing the liquid volatilizing container of (a) when in use (cap OFF). FIGS. 2(a) to (f) are, respectively, a plan view, a front vertical cross-sectional view, a front view, a partially enlarged right side view, and a right side view of the liquid volatilizing container of FIG. 1(a) without the clip, and FIGS. 3(a) to (d) are, respectively, a plan view, a plan vertical cross-sectional view, a front vertical cross-sectional view, and a front view of the liquid volatilizing container of FIG. 1(b) without the clip.
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the liquid volatilization container A of this embodiment comprises at least a container body 10 that contains a volatile liquid in a liquid state, and a porous volatile material 20 that has capillary force and volatilizes the volatile liquid H contained in the container body 10, and the container body 10 is a liquid volatilization container that allows the remaining amount of volatile liquid H to be visually confirmed, and is characterized in that a liquid storage section 30 is provided at the tip of the container body 10 that stores the volatile liquid that sprays out from the porous volatile material 20 in response to pressure changes within the container body 10.

A liquid storage portion constituent 40, which constitutes part (approximately half) of the liquid storage portion 30, is attached to the tip side of the container body 10, and a cap 50 is slidably attached to the outer periphery of the liquid storage portion constituent 40. The container body 10 also has a shutter mechanism 60 between the liquid storage portion constituent 40 and the cap 50, which controls the evaporation of volatile liquid from the container body 10 to the outside of the container by opening and closing (ON/OFF) the cap 50. Reference numeral 25 in the figure denotes an inner plug that is attached inside the container body 10, and clip 80 is a clip that allows attachment to louvers, etc., of an automobile air conditioner, etc.

(Component configuration)
As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4(a) to (h), the container body 10 has a main body 11 consisting of an elliptical cylindrical body, a circular opening 13 opened in an elliptical tip surface portion 12 on the tip side of the main body 11, triangular supports 15, 15 on the left and right inner wall surfaces 14a, 14b on the tip side of the opening 13, and an elliptical opening 16 on the rear side and a tail plug 17 that is fixed to the opening 16 by fitting.
5(a) to 5(d), the tail plug 17 has a tail plug portion 18 having a fitting portion 18a that fits into the opening 16 at the rear end of the container body 11, and the inner wall of the bottom of the tail plug portion 18 is integrally formed with a recessed fastening hole 19 for fastening by fitting the rear end 21 of the porous volatile material 20 to be attached inside the container body 10, and a side wall portion 19b having a slit 19a on the side of the fastening hole 19. In the above embodiment, the container body 10 and the tail plug 17 are made up of two parts, but they may also be made up of one part.
If the container body 10 is made of a visible material (transparent or translucent material), the remaining amount of volatile liquid H in the container body 10 can be easily visually confirmed.

As shown in Figures 6(a) to (f), the inner plug 25 is composed of an elliptical thin plate 26, which has an insertion hole 27 in the center for inserting the porous volatile material 20, and a slit portion 28 for air replacement formed inward from one end of the outer surface of the thin plate 26.
The inside plug 25 is configured to be sandwiched between the mounting surfaces 15a, 15b of the supports 15, 15 of the container body 10 and the elliptical front end surface 17a of the fitting portion 17 of the tail plug 16. As a result, a space 29 between the inside plug 25 and the tail plug 17, which is on the rear side within the container body 10, serves as a liquid mounting portion for containing (mounting) the volatile liquid H. The porous volatile body 20 is inserted into the insertion hole 27 of the inside plug 25 and has its rear end 21 fixed to the fixing hole 19 of the tail plug 17, so that its front end 22 is held at the front end side within the container body 10.

1 to 4 , the liquid storage part constituent 40 has a circular cylindrical main body 41, and the rear end side of the cylindrical main body 41 has a fitting portion 42 that fits into the opening 12 of the main body portion 11 of the container body 10, and a flange portion 43 that comes into close contact with the tip surface 12 of the main body portion 11. The cylindrical main body 41 also has a convex portion 44 on the outer periphery on the rear side, and a circular frame portion 71 of an opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes a shutter mechanism 60, which will be described later, is attached to a circumferential recess 45 between the convex portion 44 and the flange portion 43. The liquid storage part constituent 40 also has an injection hole 46 on the upper surface side thereof for refilling with a volatile liquid, and a tip opening 48 in a circular tip opening surface portion 47 on the tip side thereof.
In this embodiment, the liquid reservoir 30 that stores the volatile liquid that is ejected from the porous volatile material 20 in response to pressure changes in the liquid mounting portion 29 in the container body 10 is configured by a front space 31 separated by the inner plug 25 inside the container body 10 and a space 41 inside the liquid reservoir constituent 40. The internal volume of this liquid reservoir 30 is equal to or smaller than the capacity of the liquid mounting portion 29 of the container body 10. Furthermore, as will be described later, the volatile liquid that is ejected from the porous volatile material 20 in response to pressure changes in the liquid reservoir 30 and stored in the liquid reservoir 30 can automatically return to the liquid mounting portion 29 through the air replacement slit 28 of the inner plug 25 or the like in response to subsequent pressure changes.

The cap 50 is configured to be able to freely cover the liquid storage portion constituent 40 attached to the container body 10, and is configured to be linked with a shutter mechanism 60 that can arbitrarily adjust the size of the approximately elliptical opening 55 formed on the tip side of the cap 50 in conjunction with the opening and closing movement (sliding movement) of the cap 50.
6( a) to 6(f), the cap 50 has an elliptical cylindrical body 51, and inside the elliptical cylindrical body 51 there is a fitting body 52 that allows the circular cylindrical main body 41 of the liquid storage part constituent 40 to slide freely, and the tip side of the fitting body 52 has an abutment portion 53 that abuts against the tip opening surface portion 47 of the liquid storage part constituent 40. Also, as shown in FIGS. 6(e) and 6(f), an opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes the shutter mechanism 60 can be freely inserted into an attachment hole 54 provided between the outer periphery of the fitting body 52 of the cap 50 and the inner periphery of the elliptical cylindrical body 51, and the size of the opening 55 of the cap 50 can be changed from zero (the opening is closed) to the maximum (the opening of the opening 55 is fully opened) by the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes the shutter mechanism 60.

As shown in Figures 9 and 10 (a) to (e), the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes this shutter mechanism 60 is integrally formed from a circular frame portion 71, a connecting portion 72 that connects to the frame portion 71, a main body portion 73, and an opening adjustment portion 74 that closes the opening 55. The widthwise lengths of the connecting portion 72, main body portion 73, and opening adjustment portion 74 are the same as the widthwise length of the opening 55 of the cap 50. The opening adjustment member 70 is made of a stretchable material, such as a thermoplastic elastomer such as polystyrene, polyolefin, vinyl chloride, polyurethane, or polyester, or a rubber material such as silicone rubber; in this embodiment, it is made of a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes this shutter mechanism 60 has a circular frame portion 71 that is attached to the recess 45 of the above-mentioned liquid storage portion component 40, and a main body portion 73 and opening adjustment portion 74 that are connected to a connecting portion 72 that is connected to the frame portion 71 are inserted into the mounting hole 54 of the cap 50 and are attached between the cap 50 and the liquid storage portion component 40.
2(a) to 2(f) are drawings showing the state in which the cap 50 of the liquid volatilization container A is closed (cap-on state), and FIGS. 9(a) to 9(e) are drawings showing the state in which the opening adjustment member 70 constituting the shutter mechanism is contracted (the state shown in FIG. 2(a) before it is extended) when the cap 50 is closed. When the cap 50 of the liquid volatilization container A is closed (cap-on state), as shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 2(a) to 2(f), the opening 55 of the cap 50 is closed by the opening adjustment portion 74 of the opening adjustment member 70 constituting the shutter mechanism 60, and in this state, a slight fragrance of the volatile liquid occluded in the porous volatile material 20 is released to the outside of the container through a concave through-groove (slight gap) 56 formed on the bottom side of the opening 55.
When the cap 50 of the liquid volatilization container A is slid forward (to the cap OFF state), the opening adjustment member 70 is extended, and as shown in FIG. 1( b) and 3(a) to 3(e), the opening 55 of the cap 50 opens, allowing the aroma of the volatile liquid occluded in the porous volatile material 20 to escape from the container. When the cap is in the OFF state, the injection hole 46 also opens, allowing the volatile liquid to be refilled through the injection hole 46. The shutter mechanism 60 is removable; that is, when the cap 50 is removed from the liquid storage portion structure 40, the opening adjustment member 70 can also be easily removed. The shutter mechanism 60 allows the size of the opening 55 of the cap 50 to be adjusted as desired, and as described above, is configured to operate in conjunction with the opening and closing (sliding) of the cap 50.

As shown in Figures 1(a) and (b) and Figures 11(a) to (c), clip 80 has curved holders 81a, 81b at both ends of clip main body 81 that hold the upper width of container A, and a pair of clamping bodies 82, 83 at the upper center of clip main body 81 for clamping onto louvers or the like of an automobile air conditioner. The upper ends of the pair of clamping bodies 82, 83 have pressing portions 82a, 83a.

The materials for the container body 10, tail plug 17, inner plug 25, liquid storage portion constituent 40, cap 50, etc. are not particularly limited as long as they do not affect the physical properties of the volatile liquid to be stored, and can be formed from, for example, at least one of metal, thermoplastic resin such as polyacetal resin, polyethylene resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin (EVOH), polyamide resin, polyurethane resin, polyolefin resin, polyvinyl resin, polycarbonate resin, polyether resin, polyphenylene resin, thermosetting resin, etc., and preferably, they can be formed from a material containing a high air barrier property.

The blending amount of these liquid deodorizing fragrance components is usually selected appropriately from the range of 0.1 to 10% by mass, preferably 1 to 8% by mass, based on the total amount of volatile liquid (composition). If the blending amount of this liquid deodorizing fragrance component is less than 0.1% by mass, an adequate effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10% by mass, the amount of surfactant required becomes large, making it difficult to maintain the sustainability of the fragrance, deodorization, etc., and is also uneconomical in terms of cost.

The volatile liquid used in the present invention uses water (purified water, distilled water, ion-exchanged water, pure water, ultrapure water, etc.) as a solvent, and other surfactants or other components that have traditionally been used may be added as needed within a range that does not impair the effects of the present disclosure.
Specific preferred examples of the anionic surfactant in the other surfactants include alkyl sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl allyl ether sulfates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, α-sulfofatty acid salts, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, α-olefin sulfonates, fatty acid soaps, alkyl ether carboxylates, acyl alaninates, acyl taurates, amino acid-based anionic surfactants typified by N-alkyliminodicarboxylic acids or salts thereof, alkyl phosphates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkyl phenyl ether phosphates, and alkyl phosphate ester salts.
Specific preferred examples of the amphoteric or semi-polar surfactants in the other surfactants include amine oxides, alkylbetaines, fatty acid amidoalkylbetaines, hydroxysulfobetaines, imidazolines, alkylglycines, and alkylalanines.
Preferred examples of the nonionic surfactant include polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene acyl esters, alkyl polyglycosides, fatty acid glycoside esters, fatty acid methyl glycoside esters, alkyl methyl glucamides, and fatty acid alkanolamides.
Other ingredients that can be added include ingredients that maintain stable evaporation (propylene carbonate), preservatives, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, pH adjusters, hydrotropes, inorganic salts, pigments, etc.

The volatile liquid used may be given pseudoplasticity in terms of ease of use, leakage resistance, etc. Pseudoplasticity can generally be imparted by using a thickener (gelling agent) or the like. Pseudoplasticity refers to the property of being non-fluid in a static state but becoming fluid when a shear force is applied.
Examples of thickeners that can be used include at least one selected from alkali-swellable association emulsions, alkali-swellable emulsions, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose derivatives, xanthan gum, succinoglycan, diutan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, pectin, or inorganic thickeners such as cellulose derivative cross-linked acrylic acid polymers, oxidized cellulose, crystalline cellulose, rheozan gum, gellan gum, and montmorillonite clay minerals.

Furthermore, the porous volatile material 20 may be of any material and shape that has capillary force and can volatilize a volatile liquid when supplied, and examples thereof include those formed of a porous material with pores, such as sponges, sintered bodies, fiber bundles, foams, spongy bodies, felt bodies, porous bodies, and structures having flow paths inside that have capillary force, and examples of shapes include cylindrical, bullet-shaped, rectangular, pen-core shaped, elliptical, and square cylinders.
Materials that can be used to form these shapes, porous bodies, etc. include, for example, natural fibers, animal hair fibers, polyacetal resins, polyethylene resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin resins, polyvinyl resins, polycarbonate resins, polyether resins, and polyphenylene resins.
Examples of fiber bundle cores include parallel fiber bundles made of the above-mentioned fiber materials (for example, fibers such as 1 to 20 denier synthetic fibers, natural fibers, ..., polyphenylene resins, etc., or a combination of two or more types of fibers) that have been processed or resin-treated.

Liquid-permeable foams can be prepared by known methods, such as by pouring a molten resin into a mold and foaming it, etc. Sintered bodies can be made from porous bodies (sintered cores) obtained by sintering plastic powders such as polyacetal resins, polyethylene resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin resins, polyvinyl resins, polycarbonate resins, polyether resins, and polyphenylene resins.
The pore diameter of the porous volatile material 20, including those composed of these sintered cores, is preferably 10 μm to 1,000 μm, more preferably 20 μm to 300 μm, particularly 20 μm to 100 μm, as measured by SEM image analysis. The porosity is preferably 20 to 90%, more preferably 30 to 80%. In the present disclosure, "porosity" is calculated as follows. First, an aroma-volatilizing member having a known mass and apparent volume is immersed in water, and after sufficient water permeation, the mass is measured after removal from the water. From the measured mass, the volume of water permeated into the aroma-volatilizing member is calculated. The volume of this water is considered to be the same as the pore volume of the aroma-volatilizing member, and the porosity is calculated using the following formula:
Porosity (unit: %)=(volume of water)/(apparent volume of fragrance volatilizing member 30)×100

The porous volatile material 20 can also be made of a porous carbon material. The pore size of the porous carbon material, as measured by SEM image analysis, is preferably 10 μm to 1,000 μm, more preferably 20 μm to 100 μm, and the porosity, as measured by the same method, is preferably 20 to 90%. The shape of the porous carbon material can be, as described above, for example, a cylindrical shape, a bullet shape, a rectangular pillar shape, a pen core shape, an elliptical pillar shape, or a square pillar shape.
This carbon porous body may be any porous structure having fine interconnected pores, and examples thereof include a carbon composite molded body having a three-dimensional network structure or a point-sintered structure and composed of amorphous carbon and carbon powder, an isotropic high-density carbon molded body, a carbon fiber paper molded body, and an activated carbon molded body. Of these, a carbon composite molded body having the above-mentioned pore diameter and porosity and composed of amorphous carbon and carbon powder, which has fine interconnected pores, is preferred.
From the viewpoint of further improving the reaction efficiency, the carbon powder used in producing this carbon composite having a porous structure is preferably at least one type (singly or in combination of two or more types) selected from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), kish graphite, natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes.
Furthermore, when the porous volatile material 20 is made of a carbon porous material, it may be made of a liquid-passing portion that is impregnated with the volatile liquid and a heat-absorbing portion that is not impregnated, and/or slits may be formed in the carbon porous material to further enhance the evaporation of the porous volatile material 20.
Although the porous volatile material 20 of this embodiment is cylindrical, its cross section may be rectangular to further improve fragrance volatilization. A rectangular shape refers to a polygonal shape, including a square, and a rectangle with a different aspect ratio of each side is particularly preferred. The rectangular shape allows for a larger surface area compared to a circular cross-sectional shape of the same volume, thereby improving fragrance performance. The aspect ratio of the rectangular cross section is preferably 1:1 to 1:13, and more preferably 1:1.1 to 1:1.4, which ensures the rigidity of the porous volatile material 15.

In the liquid volatilizing container A of this embodiment configured as described above, the internal volume of the liquid storage section 30 is equal to the volume of the inside of the container body 10, which is a transparent container, and the liquid mounting section 29, and the stored volatile liquid can return to the liquid mounting section 29 through the air replacement slit 28, etc. Furthermore, this liquid volatilizing container A is intended to be used perpendicular to the vertical direction, and is configured to allow for a tilt of ±45 degrees.
In the liquid volatilizing container A of this embodiment, by opening the cap 50, at least one type of fragrant/deodorizing component contained in the volatile liquid H, such as a component that emits a fragrance, a component that has a deodorizing effect, a component that has an effective effect such as a forest bathing effect, a component that has a calming effect on people, or a component that has an awakening effect such as waking up from drowsiness, is volatilized from the opening 55, etc., and by selecting the type of volatile liquid to be used, it is possible to achieve the desired fragrance or deodorization in the interior of a car, etc. When the cap 50 is closed, the evaporation of volatile liquids such as liquid fragrant deodorizers is limited, so that evaporation in the porous volatile material 20 gradually ceases. The opening and closing operation of the cap 50 allows the container to be reliably sealed via the shutter mechanism 60, is portable, can withstand severe temperature changes without problems such as the volatile liquid spraying out of the container, and also makes it easy to visually check the amount of remaining liquid, making it suitable for use in a car, etc.

The liquid volatilization container B of this second embodiment differs significantly from the first embodiment described above in that, as shown in Figure 15, the container body that stores the volatile liquid is a cartridge-type container 100 that can be attached and detached from the cap side, an outer casing 130 is provided for attaching this cartridge-type container 100 and cap 170, and this outer casing 130 and cartridge-type container 100 are separable, the cap 170 and outer casing 130, which are made up of two parts, are formed with position adjustment portions 156, 156 by protrusions on each other, making it possible to easily adjust the sliding position of the cap 170, and as in the first embodiment described above, the shutter mechanism 60 can be used to widen or narrow the volatilization opening area, making it easy to adjust the amount of volatilization of the volatile liquid.
In the liquid volatilizing container B of this second embodiment, the components and configurations that have the same functions, actions, etc. as the liquid volatilizing container of the first embodiment described above are described as such for simplification, and the same reference numerals are used in the drawings (Figures 12 to 22) to omit their explanation.
The liquid volatilizing container B of the second embodiment will be described in detail below, focusing on the configuration, functions, actions, etc. that differ from those of the liquid volatilizing container of the first embodiment described above.

(Second embodiment, component configuration)
In the liquid volatilizing container B of the second embodiment, the container body that contains the volatile liquid is a cartridge-type container 100 .
As shown in FIGS. 15, 17, 18, and the like, the cartridge-type container 100 has a container body 110 and a sealing body 120.
The container body 110 has a cylindrical main body portion 112 with an elliptical bottom plate portion 111, an opening 113 at the tip side of the cylindrical main body portion 112, and a fitting portion 115 with a fitting surface portion 114 on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom plate portion 111.
As shown in Figures 17(a) to (g), within the cylindrical main body 112, the inner wall of the bottom plate 111 has a concave fixing hole 116 for fixing the rear end 21 of the porous volatile material 20 that will be attached to the container attachment main body 150 by fitting, and four reinforcing ribs 117 for reinforcing the cylindrical main body are integrally formed at predetermined intervals on the inner wall of the cylindrical main body 112.
A sealing body 120, which functions similarly to the inside plug 25 of the first embodiment, is fixed to the opening 113 of the cylindrical main body 112. As shown in Figures 18(a) to 18(c), the sealing body 120 is composed of an elliptical sealing portion 121 and a cylindrical portion 122 for fixing to the inside of the opening 113 of the cylindrical main body 112. The sealing portion 121 is formed with an insertion hole 123 below the center for inserting the porous volatile material 20 therethrough, and a slit portion 124 for air replacement that extends from one end of the outer circumferential surface of the sealing portion 121 inward.
By fixing the sealing body 120 to the opening 113 of the cylindrical main body 112 with a sealing O-ring 125 interposed therebetween, a cartridge-type container 100 is formed that contains (carries) a volatile liquid and is equipped with a porous volatile material 20.
If the container body 110 of this cartridge-type container 100 is made of a visible material (transparent or translucent material), the remaining amount of volatile liquid in the container can be easily visually confirmed.

In the liquid volatilizing container B of the second embodiment, an outer box 130 is configured to allow the cartridge-type container 100 having the above-described configuration to be freely attached, and to which a cap similar to that of the first embodiment is attached.
As shown in Figures 16(a) to (g), this outer box 130 has an elliptical cylindrical body portion 140 for allowing the cartridge-type container 100 of the above configuration to be freely attached, a cap attachment portion 150 for attaching a cap to the front side of this cylindrical body portion 140, and a fitting recess 160 consisting of four pillars on the upper surface of the cap attachment portion 150 for attaching, by fitting, a clip 80 for clamping and attaching to a louver or the like of an automobile air conditioner, etc.

The cylindrical body portion 140 of this outer box body 130 accommodates the cartridge-type container 100 of the above-mentioned configuration within the cylindrical body portion 140 so that it can be freely attached, and a contact step portion 141 is formed on the circumferential surface on the front side of the interior which abuts against the front outer edge portion of the cartridge-type container 100, and approximately semicircular opening portions 142, 142 are formed on both sides of the rear side for use in removing the cartridge-type container 100, and fitting protrusions 143, 143 are formed on the inside upper and lower surfaces of the rear side for fitting into the fitting portion 115 of the cartridge-type container 100 described above.
The cap attachment portion 150 has a lid portion 151 on the front side, which has a circular insertion portion 152 through which the porous volatile material 20 is inserted. Six ribs 153 are formed inside the insertion portion 152 at predetermined intervals to hold the porous volatile material 20. A guide groove 154 is integrally formed on one end side of the insertion portion 152, and the frame portion 71 of the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes the shutter mechanism 60 is attached to the outer periphery of the insertion portion 152 and the outer periphery of the guide groove 154.
Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the cap mounting portion 150 forms a mounting recess 155, and position adjustment portions 156, 156 consisting of concave and convex portions for adjusting the mounted position of the cap 170 are formed on the upper surface, and slide-type guide rail bodies 157, 157 are formed on both side surfaces of the mounting recess 155. Protrusions 155a, 155a on the front side of the position adjustment portions 156, 156 are protrusions for preventing slipping out.

In this embodiment, the cap 170 attached to the cap attachment portion 150 of the outer box body 130 is composed of two parts, as shown in Figures 13, 14, 19, and 20, and has a cylindrical cap main body portion 180 and a lid body 190 having an opening for covering the cap main body 180.
19(a) to 19(g), cap main body 180 has partition wall 181 in the center thereof, the rear side of partition wall 181 is a pouring hole-type opening 182 for pouring a volatile liquid onto the upper surface side, sliding pieces 183, 183 that slide against position adjustment parts 156, 156 of cap attachment part 150 are provided on the rear side of pouring hole-type opening 182, and guide grooves 184, 184 that guide guide rail bodies 157, 157 are formed on the inner side surface. Also, a cylinder 186 having a circular opening 185 is provided inside on the front side of partition wall 181, and an insertion hole 187 for inserting lid body 190 is formed on one side of opening 185, and a flat guide part 188 is formed on the other side.
The lid body 190 is configured to fit onto the cap body 180, and to operate in conjunction with the shutter mechanism 60, which can arbitrarily adjust the size of the opening area of the opening 185, using the cap attachment part 150 and the cap body 180. The lid body 190 has an opening 191 of the same size as the circular opening 185, and a fitting cylinder 192 is formed with a guide groove 193 and a guide part 194 that guide the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes the shutter mechanism 60.

The opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes the shutter mechanism 60 is made of a flexible material similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and as shown in Figure 21, is integrally formed of a circular frame portion 71, a connecting portion 72 that is connected to the frame portion 71, a main body portion 73, and an opening adjustment portion 74 that closes the opening 55.
As shown in Figures 13(a) and 14(a), the opening adjustment member 70 that constitutes this shutter mechanism 60 has a circular frame portion 71 attached to the outer periphery of the insertion portion 152 and the guide groove 154, and the main body portion 73 and opening adjustment portion 74 connected to the connecting portion 72 that is connected to the frame portion 71 are attached so as to be able to slide freely on the guide portion 188 of the cap main body portion 180 and the guide groove 193 and guide portion 194 of the lid body 190.

In the liquid volatilization container B of this second embodiment, when the position adjustment portions 156, 156 of the cap attachment portion 150 are slid forward (the cap is placed in the OFF state), the guide rail bodies 157, 157 slide smoothly along the guide grooves 184, 184, with a clicking sound being heard, and the opening adjustment member 70 is extended, and as shown in Figure 12(b) and Figures 14(a) to (e), the opening 185 (191) of the cap 170 opens, allowing the fragrance of the volatile liquid occluded in the porous volatile material 20 to be released outside the container. Furthermore, when the cap is placed in the OFF state, the opening 182, which serves as an injection hole, also opens, allowing the volatile liquid to be refilled through the opening 182.
This shutter mechanism 60 allows the size of the opening 185 (191) of the cap 170 to be adjusted as desired (from zero: the opening is closed to maximum: the opening is fully open), and as described above, is configured to be linked to the opening and closing operation (sliding operation) of the cap 170.

The liquid storage portion constituent in the liquid volatilizing container B of this second embodiment is the internal space 158 of the cap mounting portion 150 that is created when the cartridge-type container 100 and the outer box body 130 are attached.
In this embodiment, the internal space 158 constitutes a liquid storage section that stores the volatile liquid that is ejected from the porous volatile material 20 in response to a pressure change within the container body 110 of the cartridge-type container 100. The internal volume of this liquid storage section is equal to or less than the internal volume of the container body 110. Furthermore, as will be described later, the volatile liquid that is ejected from the porous volatile material 20 in response to a pressure change and stored in the internal space 158 can automatically return to the container body 110 through the air replacement slit 124 of the sealing body 120 in response to subsequent pressure changes.

As shown in Figures 12 to 16 and 22(a) to (c), the clip 80 comprises a peripheral convex portion 85a that fits into a fitting recess 160 composed of four support posts formed on the container 10's inner surface, a spherical fitting convex portion 85 having the peripheral convex portion 85a, a support body portion 86 connected to the fitting convex portion 85, a clamping base portion 87 integrally formed on the support body portion 86, and scissors-shaped elastic clamping pieces 88, 88 integrally formed on the clamping base portion 87 for clamping and attaching to louvers such as those of an automobile air conditioner, and uneven clamping pieces 89, 89 on the inner surface of the elastic clamping pieces 88, 88.

The materials for the cartridge-type container 100, outer box 130, cap 170, etc. can be the same as those in the first embodiment.
Furthermore, the volatile liquid filled (stored) in the cartridge-type container 100 can be the same as that in the first embodiment.

In the liquid volatilizing container B of this embodiment configured as described above, the internal space 158 serving as the liquid storage section has the same capacity as the inside of the container body 110 of the cartridge-type container, and the stored volatile liquid can return through the air replacement slit 124, etc. Furthermore, the liquid volatilizing container B is intended to be used perpendicular to the vertical direction, while the liquid volatilizing container A is configured to allow for a tilt of ±45 degrees.
As shown in Figure 15, the liquid volatilization container B of this second embodiment has a cartridge-type container 100 as the container body for storing the volatile liquid, and is provided with an outer box 130 for attaching this cartridge-type container 100 and a cap 170, and this outer box 130 and the cap 170, which is made up of two parts, are separable, and this cap 170 and the outer box 130 are formed with position adjustment portions 170 using uneven protrusions, etc., so that the sliding position of the cap 170 can be easily adjusted, and the opening area of the volatilization opening can be widened or narrowed to easily adjust the amount of volatilization of the volatile liquid.
In the liquid volatilizing container B of this embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, by sliding the cap 170, at least one type of fragrant/deodorizing component contained in the volatile liquid is volatilized from the opening 185 or the like, such as a component that emits a fragrance, a component that has a deodorizing effect, a component that has an effective effect such as a forest bathing effect, a component that has a sedative effect, or a component that has an awakening effect such as waking up from drowsiness. As a result, by selecting the type of volatile liquid to be used, it is possible to achieve the desired fragrance or deodorization in the interior of a car or the like. When the cap 170 is closed, the evaporation of volatile liquid such as a liquid fragrant deodorizer is limited, so that evaporation in the porous volatile body 20 gradually ceases. The container can be reliably sealed via the shutter mechanism 60 by opening and closing the cap 170, is portable, and can withstand severe temperature changes without problems such as the volatile liquid spraying out of the container. Furthermore, if the container body is made to be visible, the amount of remaining liquid can be easily seen, thereby providing a liquid volatilizing container that is suitable for use in a car or the like.

Next, the present invention will be described in further detail using examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

(Example 1: Liquid volatilizing container A conforming to Figs. 1 to 11)
A direct liquid volatilization container conforming to Figures 1 to 11 was fabricated using a container body 10, a tail plug 17, an inner plug 25, a liquid storage portion constituent 40, a cap 50, an opening adjustment member 60, and the like, each having the following configuration. A volatile liquid having the following composition was used.

(Main configuration of direct liquid type deodorizer container A)
Container body 10, tail plug 17, inner plug 25, liquid storage portion constituent body 40, cap 50:
Both made of polyethylene naphthalate, area of opening 55: approximately 80 cm ²
Porous volatile material 20: Porous carbon material obtained by firing amorphous carbon and carbon powder, size: φ10×20 mm, porosity 60%
Opening adjustment member 70 (shutter mechanism 60): polyester thermoplastic elastomer, thickness: 2 mm

(Volatile liquid blend composition)
Volatile liquids having the following composition (total 100% by mass) were used.
Fragrance: 1.5% by weight
Surfactant (polyoxyethylene styryl phenyl ether): 3% by mass
Deodorant (mixture of betaine compound, amine compound, and organic acid compound): 0.2% by mass
Preservative (2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one): 0.03% by mass
Ion-exchanged water: 95.27% by mass
Viscosity (25°C): 3 mPa·s (E-type viscometer, TV-25 manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.)

When the liquid volatilizing container A obtained in Example 1 above was used, it was confirmed that, with the liquid volatilizing container A of Example 1, opening the cap 50 caused the aromatic and deodorizing components contained in the volatile liquid to volatilize, creating a comfortable atmosphere. It was also confirmed that closing the cap 50 gradually stopped the evaporation of the volatile liquid. Furthermore, the liquid storage section provided in the liquid volatilizing container A, which serves as a temporary storage section, can be used to prevent the volatile liquid from spraying out of the container even in the event of severe temperature changes. Furthermore, the remaining liquid level can be easily confirmed because the container body is made of a visible material, making it possible to obtain a liquid volatilizing container suitable for use in vehicles, etc.

This liquid volatilization container can withstand severe temperature changes without problems such as volatile liquid spraying out of the container, and also makes it easy to visually check the remaining liquid level, making it ideal for use in vehicles, etc.
