Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a volatile matter storage container capable of storing a volatile matter containing a volatile component such as an insect repellent component. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an accessory containing a pest repellent in which a pest repellent is placed inside a case and a large number of evaporation holes are provided in the case to allow the pest repellent to evaporate. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2001-302409 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the accessory containing the pest repellent of Patent Document 1, the evaporation holes through which the pest repellent communicates with the outside air are only located on the surface of the case, and the amount of evaporation is insufficient.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a volatilization storage container that increases the amount of volatilization by diffusing the volatilized components from the inside of a cylindrical body placed inside to the surroundings. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the volatile material storage container of the present invention is a volatile material storage container capable of storing volatile materials containing volatile components inside, and is composed of a first cylindrical body having a plurality of air holes arranged on the side, a second cylindrical body arranged inside the first cylindrical body and having a plurality of air holes arranged on the side, a first blocking portion at one end side of the first and second cylindrical bodies for connecting the first and second cylindrical bodies or for blocking the first cylindrical body, and a second blocking portion at the other end side of the first and second cylindrical bodies for connecting the first and second cylindrical bodies, and is characterized in that the volatile material can be arranged between the first and second cylindrical bodies, between the first and second blocking portions. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the volatilizer storage container of the present invention, in addition to diffusing the volatilized components to the surroundings through the vent holes on the outer surface as in the conventional storage container, it is also possible to diffuse the volatilized components of the volatilizer stored in the surroundings from the inside of the second cylindrical body. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of volatilization per volume of the storage container, and it is possible to make the storage container smaller if the same amount of volatilization is secured compared to the conventional storage container that volatilizes the volatilized components only from the outer surface. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a volatilization material storage container. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an oblique view of the volatilizer storage container in an assembled state. [Diagram 3] This is an oblique view of the volatilization material storage container as viewed from below. [Figure 4] This is a cross-sectional view of the volatile matter storage container taken along line A-A'. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the volatilizer storage container, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the volatilizer storage container in an assembled state, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the volatilizer storage container as seen from below, and Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the volatilizer storage container shown in Fig. 2 along line A-A'.

[0010] The volatile matter storage container is made of, for example, a hard synthetic resin material, and is approximately 2 cm in diameter at the bottom and 12 cm in height. The volatile matter storage container can store volatile matter containing volatile components such as insect repellent components and insecticidal components inside, and the volatile matter is formed, for example, from a mesh-like flexible sheet material.

[0011] This flexible sheet-like volatile material contains volatile components such as insect repellent and insecticidal components by being contained, supported, or kneaded in it. For example, polyethylene monofilament fibers impregnated with pyrethroid-based insecticidal components are used as the volatile material. In addition to volatile components for pest control, aromatic components and the like may also be used as appropriate.

[0012] The volatilizer storage container is composed of a first cylindrical body 1 having an approximately cylindrical shape, a second cylindrical body 2 arranged inside the first cylindrical body 1 and having an approximately cylindrical shape, a first blocking section 3 that connects the first and second cylindrical bodies 1 and 2 to one end side, for example the upper side, of the first and second cylindrical bodies 1 and 2 or blocks the first cylindrical body 1, and a second blocking section 4 that connects the first and second cylindrical bodies 1 and 2 to the other end side, for example the lower side, of the first and second cylindrical bodies 1 and 2.

[0013] A large number of ventilation holes 1b are arranged on the side surface 1a of the first cylindrical body 1, and these ventilation holes 1b are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the first cylindrical body 1. Furthermore, light reflecting materials 1c that reflect incident light are arranged between the rows of these ventilation holes 1b. These light reflecting materials 1c are in the form of sheets and are attached to the side surface of the first cylindrical body 1, and the arrangement intervals of these light reflecting materials 1c can be adjusted as appropriate. It is not necessary to provide these light reflecting materials 1c.

[0014] 1, a large number of ventilation holes 2b are also arranged on the side surface 2a of the second cylindrical body 2, and a fixing piece 2c that connects to the second blocking part 4 is provided at the lower end of the second cylindrical body 2. The pair of fixing pieces 2c have hooks at their tips, and as they narrow and pass through the annular second blocking part 4, the hooks are locked and fixed.

[0015] A hook portion 3b is provided on the surface 3a, which is the outer surface of the first blocking portion 3. The hook portion 3b has an annular shape that connects one end of the surface 3a to the other end of the surface 3a on a virtual line that passes from the one end to the center of the surface 3a, via an arc portion 3c.

[0016] The hook portion 3b may be connected to only one end of the surface 3a, and the other end may be left unconnected to form a hook shape.

[0017] A fitting portion 3e that fits into the opening 1d of the first cylindrical body 1 is provided on the back surface 3d, which is the inner surface of the first blocking portion 3. The first and second blocking portions 3 and 4 have an annular shape when viewed from above and below, and the second cylindrical body 2 and the first blocking portion 3 are integrated together as shown in FIG.

[0018] In addition, a container body may be adopted in which the first and second cylindrical bodies 1, 2 and the second blocking portion 4 connecting the lower ends of the first and second cylindrical bodies 1, 2 are integrated, and a structure may be adopted in which the first blocking portion 3, which is a separate body, is fitted into the opening 1d of the first cylindrical body 1 of this container body.

[0019] In the case of such a structure, the first blocking part 3 may be annular and connect the first and second cylindrical bodies 1 and 2, or may be disk-shaped and block the opening 1d of the first cylindrical body 1. When only the opening 1d of the first cylindrical body 1 is to be blocked, the back surface of the first blocking part 3 does not necessarily need to be connected to the second cylindrical body 2.

[0020] When assembling the volatilizer storage container, as shown by the arrow in Figure 1, a sheet material S, which is a flexible volatilizer, is enclosed within a first cylindrical body 1, and the second cylindrical body 2 and the second cylindrical body 2 of the first blocking portion 3, which are further integrated, are inserted into the first cylindrical body 1 and the sheet material S.

[0021] Then, with the sheet material S placed between the first and second cylindrical bodies 1, 2 and between the first and second blocking portions 3, 4, the fixing piece 2c is engaged with the second blocking portion 4, and at the same time the mating portion 3e of the first blocking portion 3 is engaged with the opening 1d of the first cylindrical body 1, thereby achieving the state shown in Figures 2 and 3, and the assembly of the volatilization storage container is completed.

[0022] The assembled volatilizer container is used with the hook portion 3b hooked to the metal fitting of a school bag, for example. The volatilizer container volatilizes the volatilized components of the sheet material S outward through the ventilation hole 1b of the first cylindrical body 1, and also volatilizes the volatilized components inward through the ventilation hole 2b of the second cylindrical body 2.

[0023] When an elementary school student walks with a school bag equipped with a volatile substance storage container attached, air currents are generated along the outer surface of the volatile substance storage container and also inside the second cylindrical body 2. These air currents cause the volatile insect repellent and insecticidal components to diffuse around the volatile substance storage container through the air vents 1b and 2b, preventing the student from being bitten by nearby pests.

[0024] Thus, with the volatilizer storage container of the present invention, in addition to being able to diffuse the volatilized components to the surroundings through the air vents on the outer surface as in conventional storage containers, it is also possible to diffuse the volatilized components of the volatilizer stored in the surroundings from the inside of the second cylindrical body 2.

[0025] Therefore, the amount of evaporation per volume of the storage container can be increased, and the storage container can be made smaller while ensuring the same amount of evaporation compared to conventional storage containers that evaporate volatile components only from the outer surface.
