【Example】

 An embodiment of the fragrance cartridge of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a fragrance cartridge of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 denotes a fragrance tank. The fragrance tank 1 is mainly composed of a bottomed cylindrical case 2 and a disk-shaped lid 3 that closes the opening of the case 2. The case 2 is composed of a cylindrical body 2a and a mesh plate 2b provided at the bottom of the cylindrical body 2a. The mesh plate 2b has a mesh-like shape formed by assembling thin wires vertically and horizontally, and the size of the mesh of the mesh plate 2b is appropriately set according to the kind and size of the flavor to be filled in the case 2. ing.

The lid 3 includes a ring-shaped frame body 3b and a mesh plate 3b provided inside the frame body 3b. The frame body 3b is detachably fitted to the cylindrical body 2a at the opening edge portion thereof, so that the case 2 can be replaceably filled with the fragrance. In the fragrance tank 1 configured as described above, air can flow through the mesh plates 2b and 3b, and the scent of the fragrance filled inside flows out to the outside by the flow of air. ..

Further, reference numeral 5 in the drawing denotes a mounting portion to which the above-mentioned fragrance tank 1 is detachably mounted. The mounting portion 5 is mainly composed of a ring-shaped frame 6 and four claw portions 7 ... Formed on the outer peripheral portion of the frame 6 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The claw portion 7 is flexible and extends in the axial direction of the frame 6 from the outer peripheral portion of the frame 6, and a claw 7a protruding inward is formed at the tip thereof.

A reinforcing material 6 a is formed inside the frame 6. The reinforcing material 6a is for reinforcing the frame 6 and preventing the perfume tank 1 from bulging outward of the mesh plate 2b. It extends in three directions and is joined to the frame 6. Three pin holes 9 ... Are formed at intersections of the reinforcing member 6a and the frame 6, and the pins 10 ... Standing on the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the case 2 are engaged with the pin holes 9. The fragrance tank 1 is detachably engaged with the attachment portion 5 by the engagement.

The fragrance cartridge having the above-described structure opens the lid 3 of the fragrance tank 1 and has a scent that is suitable for the purpose of the user (the purpose is to read a book, eat a meal, sleep peacefully, etc.). It is used by filling the fragrance to be used, closing the lid 3, mounting the fragrance tank 1 filled with the fragrance to the mounting portion 5, and mounting the mounting portion 5 to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The mounting portion 5 is mounted by inserting the claw portions 7 ... Into the air outlet 15 and elastically locking the claws 7a ... Into the lattice 16 fitted in the air outlet 15. Then, in the scent cartridge attached to the air outlet 15, the air blown out from the air outlet 15 flows into the fragrance tank 1 through the mesh plate 2b, and the misted fragrance is mixed with this air. By flowing out to the outside through the mesh plate 3b, the scent is made to float around. As the fragrance, fragrance beads, so-called tea pack type in which a solid fragrance is packed in a breathable paper bag, resin or paper impregnated with a liquid fragrance, and the like are used. R.

Therefore, according to the above cartridge, the fragrance in the fragrance tank 1 can be easily replaced, and the fragrance tank 1 can be easily attached to the air outlet 15 of the air conditioner by the attachment portion 5. You can easily enjoy the scent that suits your purpose, and you can switch the scent according to your schedule.

The perfume tank 1 and the mounting portion 5 are joined together by the pins 10 ... In addition, a claw having an L-shaped cross section that is bent outward is formed at the bottom of the perfume tank 1. A male thread is formed on one of the perfume tank 1 and the frame 6 of the mounting portion 5 by locking the claw to the frame 6 of the mounting portion 5, and on the other by forming a female thread to be screwed to the male thread. Alternatively, these screws may be used.

As a modified example of the mounting portion 5 for mounting the fragrance tank 1 to the air outlet 15, as shown in FIG. 4, the frame has a rectangular shape in accordance with the shape of the lattice 16 fitted in the air outlet 15. It may be formed. Further, as a modified example of the mounting portion 5, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the claw 7a at the tip of the claw portion 7 formed on the frame 6 may be formed in a barbed shape. By doing so, even when the air outlet 15 is a cylindrical spot outlet, the claw 7a is elastically engaged from the outside with the flange portion 15a formed on the outer periphery of the outlet to attach it. The portion 5 can be easily attached to the air outlet 15, and even in the case of the cylindrical outlet 15 in which the flange portion 15a is not formed on the outer periphery, the claw 7a is blown out as shown in FIG. The attachment portion 5 can be easily attached to the air outlet 15 by elastically locking the inner peripheral surface of the mouth 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, it can be easily attached to the air outlet 15 in which the above-mentioned lattice 16 is fitted.

FIG. 9 shows a scent cartridge according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The scent cartridge shown in this figure is a ring in the fragrance cartridge of the first embodiment, where the fragrance tank 1 and the frame 6 of the mounting portion 5 are in contact with each other, and the frame 6 and the air outlet 15 are in contact with each other. The seals 16, 16 having a shape are formed. These seals 16 and 16 are formed by forming a resin having a good airtightness and flexibility on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 6, respectively. With these seals 16 and 16, the fragrance is provided between the fragrance tank 1 and the frame 6 and the frame. It is possible to efficiently flow from the front surface of the fragrance tank 1 to the intended place without leaking from the gap between the air blower 6 and the air outlet 15.

10 and 11 show a scent cartridge according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The scent cartridges shown in these figures are the same as the scent cartridge of the first embodiment, except that the case 2 of the fragrance tank 1 is divided into three in the circumferential direction, and the fragrance tank 1 is loaded into the cover 17. ing. The structure will be described below. A partition wall 18 is formed in the case 2. The dividing wall 18 is composed of a cylindrical body 18a which is erected at the center of the case 2 and three wall portions 18b which extend radially from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 18a to the inner peripheral surface of the case 2. Has been done. These wall portions 18b ... Are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the case 2, and the inside of the case 2 is divided into three filling chambers 18c ... By the wall portions 18b .. It is designed to be filled with a perfume that has the same scent.

The cover 17 is arranged such that the two discs 20 and 20 having the cutouts 20a are separated from each other at substantially the same distance as the height of the fragrance tank 1 and the cutouts 20a and 20a are opposed to each other. It has a basic structure in which the disks 20, 20 are connected by a plurality of connecting members 21 .... The discs 20 and 20 have a radius substantially equal to the radius of the fragrance tank 1, and through holes 22 and 22 are formed in the center thereof. The cutout portion 20a is formed by cutting out about 1/3 of the disk 20 in a fan shape, and the shape of the cutout portion 20a is formed to be substantially the same as the shape of the one filling chamber 18c in plan view. ing. Then, the perfume tank 1 is inserted into the cover 17 such that the cylindrical body 18a of the partition wall 18 and the through holes 22 and 22 of the cover 17 are coaxially inserted, and then the pin 23 is inserted into the through holes 22 and 22. It is loaded by being slidably inserted into the cylindrical body 18a and screwed into the hole 24 formed in the mounting portion 5.

In the fragrance cartridge having the above structure, by rotating the fragrance tank 1 about the pin 23, two of the three filling chambers 18c ... Can be made available for distribution. Therefore, the user fills each of the filling chambers 18 with a fragrance that suits his or her purpose (purpose of concentrating reading a book, eating, calming and sleeping, etc.) and, if necessary, fragrance. By rotating the tank 1, a desired scent can be easily obtained.
