Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to portable articles, and more particularly to a portable article capable of selectively and smartly controlling a fragrance capsule so that the fragrance capsule is applied as if it were a mechanical structure and the user can selectively emit a fragrance using a smartphone that the user always carries.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, accessories are provided in such a way that rather than having a specific function, their ornamental nature is prioritized, and they are carried on the body as ornaments or hung on carried items using a ring.

[0003] Although accessories were mainly used by women in the past as a means to give a decorative effect to the body or express their personality, recently, the number of cases where men also use various accessories as ornaments for expressing their personality like women has been increasing rapidly.

[0004] Typical examples of ornaments worn on the body mainly include necklaces, bracelets or anklets, earrings, etc. In addition to these, piercings fixed to various parts of the body are also an example.

[0005] Such accessories are often not only worn on the body but also hung on portable items such as clothing, portable articles, and mobile phones for carrying.

[0006] In addition, accessories are made to have an ornamental nature simply by their own shape, and are made from precious metals such as gold, platinum or silver, or from germanium, jade, etc.

[0007] In the fragrance accessory described in the Utility Model Registration Gazette No. 0294266 of the Republic of Korea (October 24, 2002), a bracelet or necklace-type accessory to be worn on the user's wrist or a pet's neck incorporates an aroma, so that a natural fragrance is emitted, and the pet is further contained with antibacterial substances to suppress the occurrence of pests.

[0008] However, conventional accessories only serve for decoration and have functionality due to materials containing components harmful to the human body. Recently, with the experience of the global pandemic, personal hygiene has become of utmost importance. Along with social distancing, handwashing is highly emphasized. Among them, handwashing aims to use a cleaning liquid with a sterilizing function to wash hands or prevent contact even if touching items contacted by a large number of people. However, it is not only very cumbersome and troublesome for individuals to carry hand sanitizer by themselves, but also when it is necessary to touch, such as button operation, it is inevitable to touch, which poses a problem of being unhygienic.

[0009] In addition, a portable item provided to facilitate carrying a predetermined item includes a portable item body in which a storage space for the item is formed, and a shoulder strap or a handle attached to the portable item body.

[0010] The portable item body is composed of an outer skin portion forming the outer surface and a waterproof cloth coated on the inner surface of the outer skin to prevent liquids such as water from penetrating into the storage space of the item.

[0011] Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-1994-0018843 relates to a fragrant portable item formed by coating an appropriate location on the front or back surface of an existing portable item with microcapsules produced by coating the main surface of fragrance particles obtained by separating a fragrance into extremely fine structures with a special viscous substance and then curing it.

[0012] Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0182805 relates to a bag comprising a portable item main body having an accommodation space for an article formed therein and a shoulder strap coupled to the portable item main body, wherein the contact portions of the portable item main body and the shoulder strap with the body contain an adhesive liquid mixed with microcapsules, and the fabric of which the contact portions are made contains a fragrance agent accommodated inside the capsules.

[0013] Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0298141 relates to a handle of a portable item formed by injecting or processing a synthetic resin material or wood using a mold to form a handle portion and a connection and fixing portion to the portable item, and then immersing the formed handle of the portable item in a fragrance-containing liquid for a certain period of time so that the fragrance sinks and emits the fragrance.

[0014] Although the above prior art is related to a technology for emitting fragrance from a portable item and a technology for a detachable fragrance chip for a portable item, it merely makes the fragrance emit, and there is no fragrance for the purpose of driving away pests such as mosquitoes.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] The present invention provides a portable article capable of selectively smart - controlling a fragrance capsule, which applies the fragrance capsule as if it were a mechanical structure, and enables the fragrance capsule to selectively emit fragrance using a smartphone that the user always carries.

[0020] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the preferred configuration and operation of the present invention for achieving the above - mentioned object in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are as follows.

[0021] Before describing the present invention, looking at its configuration, in a portable item 200 capable of emitting fragrance, a sliding hole 210 is formed on one side of the portable item 200, and a sliding portion 311 slidably coupled to the sliding hole 210 is formed on the outside. A body portion 310 having a capsule insertion groove 313 with a certain depth in the downward direction is formed at the central portion of the upper side. It contains a liquid having one or more fragrances inside, a capsule 320 fitted into the capsule insertion groove 313, a pressing portion 330 that is fitted into the capsule insertion groove 313 and is located above the fragrance capsule 300, but presses one side of the capsule 320, a control portion 340 that selectively or periodically controls the pressing portion 330 at set times, a battery portion 350 that supplies power to the control portion 340, and a communication means 360 for communicating with a smartphone 400. The fragrance capsule 300 is composed of these components, and a smartphone 400 installed with an application that can selectively control the control portion 340 is provided.

[0022] That is, by using the smartphone 400 that the user always carries and the control module incorporated in the portable item 200, the fragrant liquid contained inside the capsule 320 can be discharged to the outside.

[0023] At this time, in the case of the fragrance, various fragrances can be selectively configured, and if necessary, it may be configured with a fragrance capable of exterminating mosquitoes, flies, etc.

[0024] In the present invention, although the capsule 320 is provided in the portable item 200, the portable item 200 is composed of an ornament (accessory) worn on any one of the user's wrist, ankle, finger, neck, head, eyelash, artificial fingernail, artificial toenail, or includes a bag capable of storing and carrying items.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, a sliding hole 210 having a certain depth in the vertical direction is formed on one side of the upper part of the portable article 200. In the case of the sliding hole 210, it is formed in a "┬" shape in a plan view, and the outer shape of the sliding part 311 of the portable article 200 described later is formed to correspond to the sliding hole 210, and it is formed by being vertically fitted, but can be prevented from being removed in the horizontal direction.

[0026] Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the sliding hole 210 may be formed such that two or more protruding portions are formed on both sides so as to have a stronger fixing force.

[0027] Furthermore, the sliding hole 210 is formed inside or outside the portable article, and may be formed in a "T" shape, or a rounded shape, or a pocket shape as described above.

[0028] In addition, the outer shape of the fragrance capsule 300 drawn into the sliding hole 210 may also be formed in the same shape as the sliding hole 210.

[0029] The fragrance capsule 300 includes a body portion 310 and a capsule 320, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the body portion 310 is formed with a sliding portion 311 that is slidably coupled to the sliding hole 210 on the outside. That is, the sliding portion 311 is also formed in a "┬" shape and is fitted into the sliding hole 210, and a capsule fitting groove 313 into which the capsule 320 described later is fitted is formed in the central portion of the upper side.

[0031] On the other hand, the capsule 320 contains a liquid formed so as to be able to emit a fragrance inside. At this time, the liquid refers to any liquid that emits a fragrance, and encompasses all kinds of liquids that emit various fragrances such as fragrances that insects dislike and sweet fragrances.

[0032] Here, as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the capsule 320 has a soft property in other parts except for a part of the upper portion, and a space portion 321 is formed therein that can be filled with a liquid perfume. A hole 323 extends from the space portion 321 to one side of the upper portion to allow filling and discharging of the scented liquid, and an injection portion 325 that selectively seals the hole 323 and is pressed by a pressing portion 330 to selectively discharge the scented liquid.

[0033] That is, the purpose of giving the capsule 320 a soft property is to prevent the capsule 320 from being damaged by impact or the like. The reason for excluding a part of the upper portion is that the injection portion 325 must present a fixed shape when pressed by the pressing portion 410, and that part is preferably formed of a relatively hard material.

[0034] In the present invention, when illustrating the capsule 320, the soft part and the non-soft part are not separately contrasted and shown.

[0035] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the space portion 321 is, as described above, of course, generally a space for allowing a scented liquid to be injected so that the scent contained in the liquid can be diffused for scent injection.

[0036] Also, although not shown in the figure, in the case of the space, it may be formed in a single shape, or if necessary, a plurality of partitioned shapes may be formed, and liquids having the same or different scents may be filled into the formed space portions 321 for use.

[0037] At this time, when a plurality of the space portions 321 are formed and different scents are filled into each of the space portions 321, the injection portion 325 described later may be individually connected to the space portion 321, or alternatively, one injection portion 325 may be used to inject the liquid of each space portion 321.

[0038] The hole 323 is a component for serving as a passage so that the scented liquid can be packed into or injected into the space portion 321, and can be formed as one or multiple ones.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the injection part 325 is formed in a non-soft part at the upper part of the capsule 320, and is a component for enabling the scented liquid in the space portion 321 to be injected by one pressing.

[0040] At this time, as the structure of the injection part 325, a normal pump structure can be adopted, and usually, a structure capable of selectively injecting liquid to the outside can be adopted as required.

[0041] In addition, the injection part 325 is formed to correspond to the number of the space portions 321 and the number of the holes 323.

[0042] For example, when a large number of the space portions 321 are formed and holes 323 are formed in each of the space portions 321, injection parts 325 are respectively formed above each of the holes 323, and the liquid put into any one of the space portions 321 can be injected by the operation of the pressing part 330.

[0043] Furthermore, when a large number of the space portions 321 are formed and no holes 323 are formed in each of the space portions 321 but one hole 323 is formed at the uppermost side, it is possible to form the injection part 325 only in the one hole 323.

[0044] Regarding such a structure, according to the user's usage purpose and as required, the user can purchase and use the capsule 320 having a capsule 320 structure suitable for oneself.

[0045] Furthermore, according to whether the same scented liquid or different scented liquids are put into a large number of the space portions 321, the finally injected scent may be a single scent or a mixed scent.

[0046] When forming a plurality of space portions 321, accommodating differently scented liquids in respective space portions 321, and forming one hole 323 and an injection portion 325, when the injection portion 325 is pressed, different scents in respective space portions 321 are simultaneously drawn, and finally, as a result of being injected from the injection portion 325, a plurality of scents can be mixed.

[0047] Also, when forming a large number of suction components in the injection portion 325 of the injection portion 325 respectively, the liquids in respective space portions 321 may not be mixed before being injected from the injection portion 325, and the scents can be mixed after injection. When the injection portion of the injection portion 325 is made into one and the suction portions correspond to the number of respective space portions 321, the scent before injection can be mixed through the injection portion 325 and the mixed scent can be discharged.

[0048] On the other hand, so that the capsule 320 can be selectively controlled, the pressing portion 330, the control portion 340, the battery portion 350, and the communication means 360 are substantially fitted into the capsule fitting groove 313 in the form of a single module and arranged on the upper portion of the capsule 320. However, they are positioned to abut against the injection portion 325 of the capsule 320, and include a pressing portion 330 that presses the injection portion 325 to inject the scented liquid, a control portion 340 that receives a control command from the smartphone 400 above the pressing portion 330 and controls the operation of the pressing portion 330, a battery portion 350 provided above the control portion 340 to supply power to the control portion 340, and a communication means 360 that receives a signal from the smartphone 400 so that the control portion 350 can operate.

[0049] At this time, in the case of the pressing portion 330, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, it has substantially the same shape as a cylinder, and moves in one side direction according to a control command of the control portion 340 to press the injection portion 325 in contact therewith so that the liquid can be injected by the injection portion 325.

[0050] Here, in the case of the pressing part 330, a mechanical structure may be applied, or an electromagnetic structure may be applied, and it is preferably formed into a structure that returns to the original state after the pressing part 330 is pressed once.

[0051] The control part 340 is usually a control part that controls certain mechanical components or electronic components, and the battery part 350 and the communication module 360 have normal configurations, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0052] At this time, the control part 340 may selectively operate the pressing part 330, or may be made to operate periodically for a certain period like a timer.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 7, two or more sliding holes 210 are formed on one side of the portable article 200 at a certain interval, and two or more capsules 320 are formed to contain the same fragrance or different fragrances from each other, and the application of the smartphone 400 is configured to be able to control the ejection of the capsules 320 individually or simultaneously.

[0054] Such sliding holes 210 are not formed in a shape that partitions the space part 321 formed in the above-described capsule 320, and a large number of capsules 320 are formed individually, and each capsule 320 can be selectively controlled using the smartphone 400.

[0055] According to the portable article capable of selectively smart controlling the fragrance capsule of the present invention, while maintaining the original purpose of the portable article capable of emitting a fragrance, the fragrance capsule can be easily replaced through a structure that can be selectively inserted and removed on one side of the portable article, and moreover, since the emission of the fragrance of the fragrance capsule can be selectively adjusted using the smartphone, it can provide convenient usability.
