Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This case relates to air freshener appliances.

Conventionally, air fresheners have been used to deodorize indoor rooms, and there are two types: those that are left in a suitable place and are naturally released, and those that are sprayed.

While the former can be applied for a long period of time, it is difficult to use in emergencies such as unexpected guests. Moreover, although the latter is useful in such emergencies, it cannot be sustained for a long time.

The present invention aims to provide a convenient fragrance device that combines these two contradictory aspects.

The illustrated embodiment will be described below.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are examples of this. In the figures, 1 is a bottle, 2 is a pump that is removably screwed onto the neck 11 of the bottle, and the pump is attached to the base 21.
is screwed onto the bottle neck 11, a cylinder 22 inserted into the bottle from the base 21 and a suction pipe 23 connected to the cylinder 22 are hung vertically, and a plunger 24 which also serves as a discharge pipe is connected upward from the base 21 to the cylinder 22. The plunger 24 is urged upward by a spring inside the cylinder 22, a suction valve is installed in the lower part of the cylinder 22, a discharge valve is installed inside the plunger 24, and the plunger 24 is pushed against the spring. By pressing down on the plunger 24, the liquid fragrance in the bottle can be jetted out from the upper end of the plunger 24. A sprayer is constructed by connecting the plunger 24 to the following spray head.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a container which is attached to the upper end of the plunger 24 so that it can be pushed down, and has an upwardly bulging portion 31 formed inside, and a donut-shaped housing portion 32 around the bulging portion 31. A fitting cylinder 33 is provided protrudingly in the center of the bulging part 31, and this is fitted onto the upper end of the plunger 24, and at the same time, the base 21 of the pump 2 is inserted into the recess under the bulging part 31. A small cylinder 34 with grooves 35, 35 is protruded upward from the fitting cylinder 33 so as to be loosely inserted, and communicated with the fitting cylinder 33. Further, a thread 37 is formed on the peripheral wall of the bulging portion 31, that is, on the peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 36 in the housing portion 32, and the outer peripheral wall 3
8 is formed low, and a support cylinder 39 for the following aromatic agent impregnated material is integrally erected within the housing portion 32.

Note that the small cylinder 34 may be provided with a horizontal hole instead of the groove.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a cylindrical aromatic agent-impregnated material made of sponge or the like, which is fitted into and supported by the support tube 39 and stands upright from the housing portion 32 .

5 is a spray head connected to the small cylinder 34;
A hanging cylinder 52 has a spray nozzle 51 on the front side and is slidably fitted to the outer periphery of the small cylinder 34 from the inside of the lower end.
Also, a cover 5 for the vessel body 3 from the outside of the lower end is provided.
3 is integrally provided, and a screw thread 54 is formed on the inner periphery of the screw thread 55 to be screwed into the screw thread 37 from the inner surface of the cover 53.
The screw tube 54 is screwed into the inner circumferential wall 36 of the container body 3, and a window hole 56 is formed in the screw tube 54 as appropriate. Ventilation notches 57... are provided.

Thus, a liquid fragrance is contained in the bottle 1, and a first
As shown in the figure, when the spray head 5 is fully screwed in, the hanging tube 52 is inserted into the grooves 35, 35 of the small tube 34.
When the bottle 1 is closed and the spray head 5 is pushed down, the plunger 24 is lowered together with the container 3, the pump 2 is activated, and the liquid aromatic agent in the bottle 1 is sprayed from the spray nozzle 51 into the air.

Next, when the spray head 5 is loosened to open the grooves 35, 35, and the spray head 5 is pushed down, the pump 2 is activated in the same way, and the liquid aromatic agent in the bottle 1 is pumped into the grooves 35, 35.
5, 35, and is absorbed into the fragrance impregnated material 4 through the window hole 56. Note that at this time, since the flow resistance of the spray nozzle 51 is quite high, the fragrance does not flow toward the spray nozzle. Therefore, if left in that state, the liquid aromatic agent present in the aromatic agent-impregnated material 4 will evaporate and will naturally evaporate to the outside through the notches 57 and the gap between the container body 3 and the cover 53.

In the above embodiment, the vertical movement of the hanging cylinder 24 is obtained by the screw movement of the spray head 5 to close the grooves 35, but the hanging cylinder 24 is also provided with grooves, etc. 5 may be simply rotated to cause the grooves and the like on both sides to match or be misaligned, thereby opening and closing the grooves. Moreover, an aerosol type may be used instead of a pump type.

FIG. 3 shows another example of the connection between the container body 3 and the spray head 5, in which the small cylinder 34 on the container body 3 side in the previous example is eliminated, and the lower end of the hanging cylinder 52 on the spray head 5 side is connected to the container body 3. It abuts against the top surface of the fitting cylinder 33 on the side so as to be openable and closable.

In this case as well, a flow of liquid fragrance similar to the previous example is obtained.

According to the present invention, by operating the sprayer and the flow path switching means, it is possible to arbitrarily and extremely easily switch between spraying and natural dispersion of the liquid aromatic agent. It is extremely convenient and useful because it can be applied well by spraying, and it also allows for long-term natural dissipation.
