Description

  The present invention relates to a volatilizer that volatilizes chemicals such as fragrances.

  Conventionally, a volatilizer is known as an apparatus for volatilizing chemicals such as deodorants, fragrances, insect repellents, and insecticides (for example, Patent Document 1).

  This volatilizer is comprised by the container body, The gel which absorbed the chemical | medical agent is accommodated in this container body.

Thereby, it is comprised so that the chemical | medical agent volatilized from the said gel can be volatilized from the volatilization hole provided in the said container body.
JP 2000-191059 A

  However, such a conventional volatilizer has a problem that its shape is fixed and the arrangement place is limited.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a conventional subject, and it aims at providing the volatilizer which can deform | transform.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the volatilizer according to claim 1 of the present invention, in the volatilizer that volatilizes the medicine accommodated in the container body, the container body having a predetermined shape is divided into a plurality of divided containers. The container is configured to be connected to each other via a hinge so that the unfolded state where the containers are arranged side by side and the closed state formed into the predetermined shape can be formed.

  That is, the container body formed in a predetermined shape is composed of a plurality of containers connected by hinges, and the container body includes an unfolded state in which the containers are arranged side by side and a closed state formed in the predetermined shape. States can be formed.

  For this reason, the said container body is deform | transformed according to an arrangement place.

  And each medicine can be stored in each container.

  Moreover, in the volatilizer of Claim 2, the shape maintenance means which maintains each said container in the said predetermined shape is provided.

  That is, the container body includes shape maintaining means for maintaining each container in a predetermined shape, and is maintained in the predetermined shape by the shape maintaining means. Thereby, an inadvertent shape change is prevented.

  Furthermore, in the volatilizer of Claim 3, the said shape maintenance means was comprised with the engagement means which engages different containers removably.

  Thereby, the said predetermined shape is maintained by engaging different containers with an engaging means.

  In addition, in the volatilizer according to claim 4, the shape maintaining means is configured by a ring that is fitted onto the container body in the closed state.

  Thereby, the said predetermined shape is maintained by fitting a ring on the said container body in the said closed state. Further, the unfolded state is formed by detaching the ring.

  Moreover, in the volatilizer of Claim 5, the said predetermined shape was set to the substantially circular cross-sectional shape.

  That is, the container body has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape in the predetermined shape. For this reason, when arrange | positioning the said volatilizer in a vehicle, it hold | maintains in the state mounted in the cup holder for hold | maintaining can juice.

  Moreover, when using a cup holder, the expansion | deployment state which forms each container of the said container body side by side is formed. Then, since the said container body is deform | transformed linearly, it can be accommodated in the door pocket etc. which were formed in the door inner surface.

  As described above, in the volatilizer according to claim 1 of the present invention, the container body formed in a predetermined shape is constituted by a plurality of containers connected by hinges, whereby the container body is An unfolded state in which the containers are arranged side by side and a closed state formed in the predetermined shape can be formed.

  For this reason, the container body can be deformed according to the arrangement location, and in the closed state having the predetermined shape, the containers are arranged on a shelf or the like, while the containers are arranged side by side and arranged in a straight line. In the state, it can also be placed on a ridge provided at the lower edge of the window.

  Different drugs can be stored in the containers. For example, a deodorant is stored in the first container and a fragrance is stored in the second container. An odor effect and a fragrance effect can be obtained.

  Moreover, in the volatilizer of Claim 2, the said container body is equipped with the shape maintenance means which maintains each said container in a predetermined shape, and can maintain the said predetermined shape by this shape maintenance means.

  Thereby, the inadvertent shape change of the said container body formed in the closed state of the said predetermined shape can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in the volatilizer of Claim 3, the said predetermined shape can be maintained by engaging adjacent containers with an engaging means.

  In addition, in the volatilizer according to the fourth aspect, the predetermined shape can be maintained only by externally fitting a ring to the container body in the closed state. The unfolded state can be formed by removing the ring from the container body in the closed state.

  Moreover, in the volatilizer of Claim 5, the said container body becomes a substantially circular cross-sectional shape in the said predetermined shape. For this reason, when arrange | positioning the said volatilizer in a vehicle, it can hold | maintain in the state mounted in the cup holder for hold | maintaining can juice.

  On the other hand, when the cup holder is used, an unfolded state in which the containers of the container body are arranged side by side is formed. Then, since the said container body is deform | transformed linearly, it can be accommodated in the door pocket etc. which were formed in the door inner surface.

The ring is configured. Thereby, in the state which fitted the said lower cap 81 to the lower part of the said container body 11, the shape maintenance means which maintains the said container parts 21 and 21 in the said column shape is comprised.

  In this Embodiment concerning the above structure, the said container body 11 formed in the column shape is comprised by a pair of containers 13 and 14 connected with the hinge 41, and the said container body 11 is said each said container. 13 and 14 can be formed in a deployed state 45 arranged side by side and a closed state 42 formed in the cylindrical shape.

  For this reason, the container body 11 can be deformed according to the arrangement location, and in the closed state 42 having the columnar shape, the containers 13 and 14 are arranged side by side in a straight line while being arranged on a shelf or the like. In the unfolded state 45 arranged in, it can also be arranged on a ridge provided at the lower edge of the window.

  And the granular gels 24,... That have absorbed different drugs can be accommodated in the containers 13, 14, for example, the granular gels 24,. The deodorizing effect and the fragrance effect can be obtained without mixing the two drugs by accommodating the granular gel 24, which has absorbed the fragrance, in the second container 14.

  Further, in the closed state 42, each of the containers 13, 14 is engaged by engaging a protrusion 52 of the hook 51 provided in one container part 21 with an engaging recess 53 provided in the other container part 21. The said closed state 42 formed in the said column shape can be maintained. For this reason, the inadvertent shape change of the said container body 11 formed in the said column shape can be prevented.

  Further, the volatilizer 1 includes a circular container-shaped lower cap 81, and the container parts 21 in the closed state 42 in a state where the lower cap 81 is fitted to the lower part of the container body 11. 21 can be maintained in the cylindrical shape. This can also prevent an inadvertent shape change of the container body 11 formed in the columnar shape.

  On the other hand, the unfolded state 45 can be formed by removing the lower cap 81 from the container body 11 in the closed state 42.

  The container body 11 has a circular horizontal cross-sectional shape in the columnar shape. For this reason, when arrange | positioning the said volatilizer 1 in a car, it can hold | maintain in the state mounted in the cup holder for holding can juice etc.

  On the other hand, when the cup holder is used, a developed state 45 is formed in which the containers 13 and 14 of the container body 11 are arranged side by side. Then, since the said container body 11 is deform | transformed linearly, it can be accommodated in the door pocket etc. which were formed in the door inner surface.
