Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to dispersing gaseous fragrances generated from fragrances floating in water by air convection generated by a combustion heating element floating on the water surface.
The present invention relates to a fragrance device that has a simple configuration, is easy to manufacture, and can be handled very easily.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art "Incense" has been used for various purposes such as religion, medicine, eating and drinking, and makeup. Conventional fragrance methods include spraying fragrances, adding fragrances to rising steam, and burning fragrances impregnated with fragrances, such as incense sticks and candles. Various scenting methods are proposed, such as one that is configured to heat fragrance by radiant heat from the container or water by warming the container containing the fragrance or the water that floats the fragrance, and to vaporize and emit fragrance. ,It has been implemented.

[0003] In the fragrance devices that have been proposed and implemented in the past, incense burns the fragrance material incompletely, emits smoke, and emits through the smoke. If it does, the fragrance will also burn.

[0004] On the other hand, even when burning a fragrance by a candle, in a candle in which the burning state without soot or laundering is the highest priority, a part of the fragrance has a burning or destruction phenomenon. In particular, small candles and thin candles hardly emit fragrance even if a large amount of fragrance is added. Therefore, commercially available scented candles are generally large in diameter or in containers such as bottles and cans.
With the wax in a dissolved state, the fragrance contained in the liquid wax is warmed and released into the air. However, the fragrance is also a part of the burning material, and there is a problem that the efficiency of the burning material with respect to the added amount of the fragrance is very poor.

[0005] Scented candles also have some problems in production. That is, the temperature of the wax at the time of molding the candle and the volatilization temperature of the fragrance are almost the same, or the volatilization temperature of the fragrance is lower, so that the gas fragrance is emitted at the time of molding. Also, when the wax scrap generated after molding is heated again, melted, and remolded, the fragrance is also diffused. In addition, since the added amount of perfume is difficult to understand, and it is very difficult to remove other perfumed products or to use other types of candles, it is difficult to reuse the wax for other types of candles. It becomes impossible.

In the "fragrance device" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 3-88541, the fire of the combustion heating element of the heat source is located at a position where it is difficult to see inside the container when the container is warmed. Accidents such as fires due to "forgetting to turn off". Or because the container is heated, extra heat is needed to warm up the fragrance,
There is a risk of burns from touching the container during and immediately after use.

On the other hand, in the "fragrance container for bathtub" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 58-190093, a large amount of hot water is required in order to maintain the hot water temperature when it is used for a small desktop device. In addition, in the case of a small amount of hot water, some kind of heating device corresponding to a “bath water heater” is required for the hot water.

Therefore, the present inventor can use and enjoy "scent" even more safely, easily and efficiently, and can produce a small-sized scenting device which can provide sufficient effects even in manufacturing. The inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies on the matter, and as a result, have arrived at the present invention.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has a minimum necessary amount of fragrance and fuel so that the fragrance and the heating element are most easily seen.

Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-manufacture fragrance apparatus which can be freely selected in any form regardless of the container, fragrance material, fuel or heating element of the fragrance apparatus, and which can be freely selected by a user. Aim.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above-mentioned problems, a scenting device of the present invention puts water in a container having an arbitrary upper opening, and floats a combustion heating element floating on water and an aromatic material floating on water. By doing so, the fragrance is heated to emit the gaseous fragrance without heating the container or the water in the upper opening more than necessary, and at the same time, the fragrance is diverged by utilizing the convection generated by the heating element.

That is, the means adopted by the invention according to claim 1 is described with reference to the reference numerals used in FIGS. 1 and 2. "Pour water 1 into a container 4 having an arbitrary upper opening, The gaseous fragrance 5 is volatilized from the floating combustion heating element 2 and the fragrance 3 floating on the water surface, and the fragrance 3 which receives the heat radiated from the combustion heating element 2 floating on the water surface is volatilized, and the gas fragrance 5 is burned.

And the fragrance 3 are prevented from floating and diffused, and the water 1 and the fragrance 3 inside the water 1 and the fragrance 3 surrounded by the water surface floating / diffusion preventing device 7 or the water surface floating / diffusion preventing device 6 and the upper opening of the container 4 are efficiently heated, A fragrance device that further enhances the effect of dispersing the gaseous fragrance 5 ".

[Action]

[0015] In an arbitrary upper-opening container containing water, the surrounding water and air are warmed by the combustion heating element floating on the water surface, and the aromatic material floating in the water is also heated. The warmed fragrance emits gaseous fragrance, which is released into the air by the convection of the heated air.

【Example】

The fragrance is not only floating on the water surface.
For example, even a fragrance that dissolves in water may be mounted on the instruments 11 and 12 that float on water as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the combustion heating element 2 may be dissolved in the water 1 in which it is suspended. Further, if the device 7 for preventing floating diffusion on the water surface having the upper opening as shown in FIG. 11 is used, the temperature of the water and the fragrance inside the device 7 for preventing floating diffusion on the surface of water rises, so that the effect of dispersing the gaseous fragrance is further enhanced.

Water-floating diffusion prevention device 7 having an upper opening
Is a device floating above and below the water surface.
This is effective not only for the solid fragrance material 3 but also for the liquid fragrance material 3 as shown in FIG. Needless to say, the water-surface floating diffusion preventing device 7 having the upper opening is not limited to the ring-shaped device as shown in FIG. 7, and it may be a polygonal device, a flower-treated device, or the like. It suffices if the shape is such that the heating element 2 and the fragrance 3 are not easily diffused.

Further, even if a flexible device 6 for preventing floating from the water surface is used as shown in FIG. 9, the effect of preventing the diffusion of the fragrance 3 and the combustion heating element 2 can be obtained. Rather, the flexible device for preventing water-surface floating diffusion 6 is more flexible than the edge of the upper opening container filled with water according to the amount, size and area of the fragrance material 3 and the combustion heating element 2. The area of the portion surrounded by the prevention device 6 or the area of the portion surrounded by the flexible device for preventing floating and floating on the water surface can be changed. Therefore, by using the flexible floating diffusion preventing device 6, the fragrance material 3 and the combustion heating element 2 can also be selected widely according to the kind, material and purpose.
The flexible device 6 for preventing floating from floating on the water surface is configured in a tube shape, a rope shape, a bead shape, or a chain shape.

As shown in FIG. 6, a submerged fragrance 3 such as potpourri is submerged in water, fragrance is extracted into water, and the water is heated by the combustion heating element 2 floating on the water surface as a water-soluble fragrance. Can be gasified and further diffused by convection of air.

The device 6 for preventing floating diffusion on the water surface and the device 7 for preventing floating diffusion on the surface of water not only serve to prevent the diffusion of the floating fragrance material 3 and the combustion heating element 2 but also keep the water temperature inside the device for preventing the floating surface diffusion and diffusion high. There is also a big role. That is, the water warmed by the combustion heating element 2 drifts to the upper layer, but the presence of the water surface floating diffusion preventing device 6 and the water surface floating diffusion preventing device 7 allows the water surface floating diffusion preventing device 6 and the water surface floating It is difficult to flow out. Therefore, even if a part of the wide water surface is used, it is possible to emit scent, the water temperature can be raised quickly, and the emission of gaseous fragrance can be activated.

When a plurality of small fragrances 3 as shown in FIG. 1 are used, it is possible not only to allow the user to easily combine fragrances having a desired scent, but also to reproduce the same scent later. It is very easy.

As shown in FIG. 3, the use of the fragrance 3 for floating on the water for mounting the fragrance 3 makes it possible to prevent the fragrance 3 from floating and diffusing on the water surface. In addition, by making the material, shape, and structure of the device 12 highly heat-efficient, the effect of warming the fragrance 3 can be further enhanced, so that the fragrance can be strongly activated in a short time. .

Even when the liquid fragrance 3 floating in water as shown in FIG. 5 is used, since the water is filled in the container, the scent hardly remains in the container, and the container can be easily washed. It is not only easy to change to a different scent in the container, but it is also possible to use tableware that dislikes the useless scent extremely.

As shown in FIG. 1, a candle having the property of floating on water may be used as the combustion heating element 2 as it is, or an ordinary candle may be used if a "candle stand floating on water" is used.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the combustion heating element 2 can use a familiar combustible such as charcoal, charcoal, moxa, cotton, wood, paper, or the like as fuel. Even if the fuel does not float on the water or the water is immediately sucked up and extinguishes the fire, the device 1 that floats on the nonflammable water
It is only necessary to use 0 or 11 to take measures to float so as not to touch water.

In FIG. 4, the combustion heating element 2 and the fragrance 3
Is displayed. The water-floating device 11 is arranged in a room where the combustion heating element 2 and the fragrance material 3 are separated from each other, and is configured not to mix. If the configuration is such that the mixture is mixed, the combustion heating element and the fragrance material will be burned, which is contrary to the object of the present invention and is not intended.

Since the combustion heating element 2 is floating on the water, if an arbitrary upper opening container filled with water falls down or shakes greatly, water is splashed, and the fire is immediately extinguished, so that the fire can be used with ease. There are various types of exothermic substances such as heat of reaction by acids and alkalis, resistance heat by electricity, etc., but the availability of heating elements, calorific value, persistence, size, immediacy of exotherm, and recognition of exothermic state There is nothing better than a combustion heating element in ease of use.

Since the fragrance 3 and the flammable substance as the combustion heating element 2 are formed as separate parts, the fragrance may be natural or synthetic, and the flammable substance as the combustion heating element 2 may be smoked. What is necessary is just to create a product aiming for complete combustion. In other words, it can be used as a "smoke-free incense with light," and because it is not affected by perfume, it can only provide "candles that emit no smoke or wax when burning." There is no fear of discoloration, deformation or breakage due to fragrance. That is, the conventional method for producing an aromatic material may be used, or the conventional method for producing a combustion heating element may be used.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, the fragrance and the combustion heating element are located at the most visible positions with the minimum necessary fragrance and fuel. It has a structure that does not burn when touched. In addition, the container has an open top, which forms the fragrance device, the fragrance material, the fuel, and the combustion heating element, all of which have a free form and can be freely selected by the user with ease. Can be performed very easily, and a fragrance device with a simple manufacturing method can be provided.
