Concealing case for desiccant

Abstract

This invention provides a desiccant cover case that completely conceals the appearance of the desiccant, allows for easy confirmation of when the desiccant needs replacing, and can be designed to blend in with the surrounding environment. [Solution] The desiccant cover case has a cover structure to conceal the appearance of the desiccant 150, while being configured to absorb moisture without impairing its function as a desiccant. A movable inner wall 130 is provided inside the case that is in contact with the desiccant, and the inner wall moves as the desiccant expands. The movement of the inner wall can be seen from the outside, making it easy to check when the desiccant needs to be replaced. The outer surface of the case can also be decorated with carvings or patterns, achieving a design that harmonizes with the atmosphere of the installation location.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a blind case for storing a desiccant.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, commercially available desiccants (ones that expand when absorbing moisture) lacked design appeal in appearance.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Commercially available desiccants (ones that expand when absorbing moisture) lacked design appeal in appearance and were not suitable for installation in conspicuous places such as entrances, living rooms, around display cases or antique furniture. Also, when the case was completely covered to conceal it, there was a problem that it was difficult to confirm the replacement time of the desiccant.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] While providing a blind structure to cover the appearance of the desiccant, it is configured to be able to absorb moisture from the ventilation holes without impairing the function as a desiccant. A movable inner wall that contacts the desiccant is provided inside the case, and the inner wall moves along with the expansion of the desiccant, and the movement of the inner wall can be confirmed from the outside, so that the replacement time of the desiccant can be easily confirmed.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a blind case for a desiccant that can cover the appearance of the desiccant and can easily confirm the replacement time of the desiccant. Furthermore, since the outer surface of the case can be decorated with carvings, patterns, etc., it can be designed to harmonize with the atmosphere of the installation location.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0006] [Figure 1] A perspective view showing a desiccant cover case according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention along line AA. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The overall structure of the desiccant cover case according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The desiccant cover case 100 has a casing 110 in which a desiccant 150 can be stored inside, and a movable inner wall 130 in contact with the desiccant 150 is provided inside the casing 110. The internal wall 130 moves as the desiccant 150 expands, and the device is equipped with a replacement timing confirmation bar 120 that allows the movement of the internal wall 130 to be confirmed from the outside. As shown in Figure 2, the operation method of the replacement timing confirmation bar 120 can be a direct push type, or various other operation methods, and a link type or similar configuration can also be applied. The replacement timing confirmation bar 120 may be a rod-shaped member formed integrally with the inner wall 130, or it may be a separate indicator that amplifies and displays the movement of the inner wall 130 via gears or levers. This makes it possible to clearly recognize the replacement time from the outside, even if the desiccant expands only slightly. [Explanation of Symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] A case for storing a type of desiccant that expands in volume as it absorbs moisture, The aforementioned case has a concealed structure so that the desiccant inside is not directly visible from the outside, and is also equipped with ventilation so as not to impair the drying function. A case for a desiccant, characterized in that a movable inner wall is provided inside the case, which is in contact with the desiccant, the inner wall moves as the desiccant expands, and as the inner wall moves, a part of the inner wall, or a display member that moves in conjunction with the inner wall, is displaced to a position visible from outside the case.
