[0015] In addition, diethyl phthalate, dipropylene glycol, benzyl benzoate, isopropyl myristate, harcolin, isopentane, orange terpene, etc. can be used as a solvent or a retention agent for the fragrance. The blending amount of these liquid aromatic deodorizing components is usually appropriately selected from the range of 0.1 to 10% by mass, preferably 1 to 8% by mass in the total amount (composition). If the blending amount of this liquid aromatic deodorizing component is less than 0.1% by mass, an appropriate effect cannot be obtained. If it exceeds 10% by mass, the amount of the necessary surfactant and the like becomes large, and it becomes difficult to maintain the persistence of the fragrance and deodorization. Also, it is uneconomical in terms of cost.

[0016] The liquid aromatic deodorant of the present invention uses water (purified water, distilled water, ion-exchanged water, pure water, ultrapure water, etc.) as a solvent, and other surfactants and other components conventionally used may be added as long as the effects of the present disclosure are not impaired. Specific examples of anionic surfactants among other surfactants include alkyl sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl allyl ether sulfates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, α-sulfo fatty acid salts, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, α-olefin sulfonates, fatty acid soaps, alkyl ether carboxylates, acyl alaninates or acyl taurates, amino acid-based anionic surfactants represented by N-alkyliminodicarboxylic acids or their salts, alkyl phosphates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkyl phenyl ether phosphates, alkyl phosphate ester salts, and the like. Specific examples of amphoteric or semi-polar surfactants among other surfactants include amine oxides, alkyl betaines, fatty acid amide alkyl betaines, hydroxy sulfobetaines, imidazolines, alkyl glycines, alkyl alanines, and the like. Specific examples of nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene acyl esters, alkyl polyglycosides, fatty acid glycoside esters, fatty acid methyl glycoside esters, alkyl methyl glucamides, fatty acid alkanolamides, and the like. Other addable components include components that sustain stable volatilization (propylene carbonate), preservatives, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, pH adjusters, hydrotropes, inorganic salts, dyes, and the like.

[0017] The liquid aromatic deodorant 20 to be used preferably has pseudoplasticity from the viewpoints of usability, leakage resistance, and the like. Pseudoplasticity can generally be imparted using a thickening agent (gelling agent) or the like. Note that pseudoplasticity refers to a property that exhibits non-fluidity in a stationary state but exhibits fluidity when a shearing force is applied. Examples of thickeners that can be used include, for example, at least one selected from alkali-swellable associative emulsions, alkali-swellable emulsions, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose derivatives, xanthan gum, succinoglycan, diutan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, pectin, or cellulose derivative crosslinked acrylic acid polymers, oxidized cellulose, crystalline cellulose, leotan gum, gellan gum, montmorillonite-based clay minerals, and other inorganic thickeners.

[0018] The aromatic volatile member 30 has capillary force and may be made of any material and have any shape as long as it can volatilize when the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is supplied. For example, those formed of a porous material having pores can be mentioned. Specifically, sponge bodies, sintered bodies, fiber bundles, foams, sponges, felts, porous bodies, and structures having flow paths with capillary force inside can be mentioned. Examples of the shape include columnar, bullet-shaped, prismatic, pen core-shaped, elliptical columnar, and square columnar shapes. Examples of materials for forming these shapes and porous bodies include natural fibers, animal hair fibers, polyacetal resins, polyethylene resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin resins, polyvinyl resins, polycarbonate resins, polyether resins, polyphenylene resins, and the like. Examples of the fiber bundle core include those obtained by processing parallel fiber bundles composed of the above fiber materials (for example, synthetic fibers of 1 to 20 denier, natural fibers,..., one or a combination of two or more such as polyphenylene resins) or resin-processing these fiber bundles. In the case of a liquid-permeable foam, it can be prepared by known methods such as pouring a molten resin into a mold for molding and foaming treatment. In the case of a sintered body, it can be composed of a porous body (sintered core) obtained by sintering plastic powders such as polyacetal resins, polyethylene resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin resins, polyvinyl resins, polycarbonate resins, polyether resins, polyphenylene resins, and the like. The porosity of the aromatic volatile member 30, including the case of being composed of these sintered cores, is preferably 20 to 90%, more preferably 30 to 80%. In the present disclosure, the "porosity" is calculated as follows. First, an aromatic volatile member having a known mass and apparent volume is immersed in water, and after sufficiently soaking the water, the mass is measured in a state taken out of the water. From the measured mass, the volume of water immersed in the aromatic volatile member is derived. Regarding this volume of water as the same as the pore volume of the aromatic volatile member, the porosity is calculated from the following formula. Porosity (unit: %) = (Volume of water) / (Apparent volume of the aromatic volatile member 30) × 100

[0019] Also, the aromatic volatile member 30 can be composed of a carbon porous body. The pore diameter of the carbon porous body is preferably 10 μm to 1,000 μm measured by an image analysis method using SEM, more preferably 20 μm to 100 μm, and the porosity is preferably 20 to 90% by the same measurement method as above. Examples of the shape include, as described above, a columnar shape, a bullet shape, a prismatic shape, a pen core shape, an elliptical columnar shape, a square columnar shape, and the like. This carbon porous body may be a porous structure having fine communication pores. For example, it may be composed of a three-dimensional network structure or a spot sintered structure, and examples include a carbon composite formed body composed of amorphous carbon and carbon powder, an isotropic high-density carbon formed body, a carbon fiber paper formed body, an activated carbon formed body, and the like. Preferably, a carbon composite formed body having the above pore diameter and porosity and having fine communication pores composed of amorphous carbon and carbon powder is desirable. As the carbon powder used for producing the carbon composite composed of this porous structure, from the viewpoint of further improving the reaction efficiency, at least one selected from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), kish graphite, natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes (alone or in combination of two or more) is preferable. Furthermore, when the aromatic volatile member 30 is composed of a carbon porous body, it may be composed of a liquid passage portion impregnated with the aromatic deodorant liquid composition 20 and a heat absorption portion not impregnated, and / or by forming slits in the carbon porous body, the volatilization of the aromatic volatile member 30 may be further enhanced. The aromatic volatile member 30 of the present embodiment has a rectangular cross-section in order to further improve aromatic volatilization. The rectangular shape is a polygonal shape including a square, and in particular, the aspect ratio of one side is Preferably, different rectangles are used. By adopting a rectangular shape, the surface area can be increased compared with a circular cross-sectional shape of the same volume, and the aromatic performance can be improved. The aspect ratio of the rectangular cross-section is preferably 1:1 to 1:13, more preferably 1:1.1 to 1:1.4, so that the rigidity of the aromatic volatile member 30 can be ensured.

[0020] In the present embodiment, by opening and closing the valve member 40, the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is sealed, and the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is supplied to the aromatic volatile member 30 and volatilized. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a front shaft 11 is fixed to the tip side of the container (shaft cylinder) 10. Further, a liquid aromatic deodorant 20 and a stirring ball 25 are built in the opening at the tip side of the container 10. A valve member 40 having a valve rod 41, a spring receiver 42, a spring member 43, and a valve seat 44 is provided in the container 10 and the front shaft 11. Note that 31 is an absorbent for storing the liquid aromatic deodorant 20, and 50 is a cap. Then, by removing the cap 50 and pressing the tip of the aromatic volatile member 30, the valve body of the valve member 40 (the contact between the valve rod 41 and the valve seat 44) is opened against the elastic force of the spring member 43 (the contact is released), and the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is induced by the capillary force of the aromatic volatile member 30 and so on, and the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is induced through the absorbent 31. As a result, the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is efficiently supplied to the aromatic volatile member 30 and volatilized. By releasing the pressure on the valve member 40 (closing the valve body), the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is sealed. The stirring member 25 of this embodiment is made of stainless steel or polyacetal resin (POM, specific gravity 1.4).

[0021] The cap 50 is detachably attached to the outer peripheral surface of the above-mentioned front shaft 11 by fitting or the like. In this embodiment, it further has an inner cap 51, and the inner cap 51 and the outer cap 52 surround the fragrance volatilizing member 30. This cap 50 has uneven shapes on the inner cap 51 and / or the outer cap 52 (not shown) for imparting a click feeling during detachment.

[0022] In the fragrance deodorant container A of this embodiment configured as described above, it has a container 10 serving as a shaft cylinder, a liquid fragrance deodorant 20 stored in the container 10, a fragrance volatilizing member 30 provided on the container 10, and a valve member 40. By opening the valve member 40, at least one kind of fragrance / deodorant component such as a component that emits fragrance contained in the liquid fragrance deodorant 20, a component having a deodorizing effect, a component that exhibits effective effects such as a forest bathing effect, a component that has a calming effect on people, and a component that has an awakening effect such as waking up drowsiness will volatilize. Thus, by selecting the type of liquid fragrance deodorant used, it is possible to exhibit fragrances, deodorization, etc. according to the purpose. When the valve member 40 is closed, the supply of the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 stops, so the volatilization at the fragrance volatilizing member 30 gradually disappears. It can be surely sealed by the valve member 40, has excellent portability, has no leakage of the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 due to the valve member 40, and also has excellent vibration resistance. Moreover, it can be carried, and by opening the cap 50 and operating the valve member 40 each time, it is possible to immediately perform fragrance, deodorization, etc., so it also has excellent convenience. It is possible to highly achieve both these portability, vibration resistance, and convenience, and a direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container that can satisfy the required performance is provided.

[0023] (Second Embodiment: Overall Configuration) FIG. 2 shows an example of a direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container according to the second embodiment, where (a) is a longitudinal sectional view and (b) is an exploded longitudinal sectional view. As shown in Fig. 2, the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container B of this embodiment has at least a container 10, a liquid fragrance deodorant 20 stored in the container 10, and a fragrance volatilizing member 30 provided on the container 10. The container 10 is characterized by being provided with a collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member for preventing the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 from being ejected from the fragrance volatilizing member 30 when the internal pressure of the container 10 rises. As shown in Figs. 2(a) and (b), the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container B of this embodiment includes a container 10, a cartridge body 15, a fragrance volatilizing member 30, a collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member, an intermediate core 45, and a cap 60. Since the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 and the fragrance volatilizing member 30 are configured in the same manner as in the above-described first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted. In this embodiment, the container 10 has a cylindrical front shaft 12 and a bottomed cylindrical rear shaft 13 detachably attached to the front shaft 12 in a screwed or fitted state.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 2(a) and (b), the inside of the front shaft 12 is partitioned into a front end cylindrical portion 12a and a rear end cylindrical portion 12b via a partition wall 14. Further, a cylindrical protrusion 12c is provided on the central axis in the rear end cylindrical portion 12b, and a cartridge body 15 is detachably loaded on the cylindrical protrusion 12c.

[0025] This cartridge body 15 is bottomed cylindrical, and the above-described liquid fragrance deodorant 20 is accommodated in this storage space. Further, a seal ball (agitating member after seal release) 17 made of metal or synthetic resin is provided at the opening of the cartridge body 15 via a rubber seal ball receiving portion 16, and is sealed (sealed) before use. The container 10, that is, the front shaft 12, the rear shaft 13, and the cartridge body 15 constituting the container 10 can be formed of at least one of a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin, etc., and preferably, those formed of a material containing the above-described highly air-barrier material are mentioned. Further, if the cartridge body 15 and the rear shaft 13 are formed of a transparent resin or the like, the remaining amount visibility of the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 will be excellent. By loading the cartridge body 15 into the cylindrical projection 12c, the seal is released, and the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 in the cartridge body 15 is introduced into the communication hole 12d of the cylindrical projection 12c.

[0026] Also, a seal cylinder 18 is fixed to the tip of the tip cylinder portion 12a of the front shaft 12, and a collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member is inserted into the tip cylinder portion 12a through this seal cylinder 18. This collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member is held in a loosely fitting state so as to be communicable with the outside air between it and the inner peripheral surface 12a1 of the tip cylinder portion 12a. A relay core 45 is inserted into a communication hole 36 that is in contact with and communicates with the communication hole 12d of the cylindrical projection 12c on its central axis, and the tip portion 45a of the relay core 45 is joined to a recess 30a formed on the rear end side of the aromatic volatilization member 30 by being inserted therein or the like.

[0027] The relay core (collector core) 45 has a pointed shape at both ends in order to efficiently join the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 to the relay core 45. This relay core (collector core) 45 is composed of a porous body. For example, those formed of a porous material having pores can be mentioned. Specifically, a sponge body, a sintered body, a fiber bundle body, a foam body, a sponge body, a felt body, a porous body, etc. can be mentioned. As a material for forming the porous body, for example, natural fiber, animal hair fiber, polyacetal resin, polyethylene resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, polyamide resin, polyurethane resin, polyolefin resin, polyvinyl resin, polycarbonate resin, polyether resin, polyphenylene resin, etc. can be used. In this embodiment, it is composed of a fiber bundle body. Also, if the overall shape of this relay core 45 is a columnar body, the outer peripheral shape thereof is not particularly limited, such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptical columnar shape, a square columnar shape, etc. In this embodiment, it is composed of a cylindrical shape. Further, the porosity of the relay core 45 varies depending on the use of the aromatic deodorant component of the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 used, etc., and preferably, it is desirable to be 30 to 70%.

[0028] On the outer peripheral body of the collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member, there are provided liquid aromatic deodorant storage portions 35a, 35a... These storage portions 35a, 35a... are composed of a plurality of wing-shaped storage plates 35b, 35b... arranged in a comb-like shape with a storage plate interval in the axial direction. When there is a pressure change (such as liquid expansion) in the cartridge body 15 serving as a liquid aromatic deodorant tank due to changes in external temperature, external pressure, etc., the collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member can temporarily store the excessive liquid aromatic deodorant 20 between the wing-shaped storage plates 35b, 35b... formed on the outer peripheral surface of the collector 35, and has the function of returning it when the pressure change disappears (when it returns to the normal state). Thus, it can easily prevent the dripping (unintentional leakage of the liquid aromatic deodorant 20) of the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 from the aromatic volatilization member 30. The material of the collector 35 serving as this temporary storage member is made of synthetic resin, and preferably, it is composed of a thermoplastic resin mainly composed of a styrene-based resin and added with a predetermined amount of an epihalohydrin-based copolymer. The collector made of synthetic resin added with this epihalohydrin-based copolymer has high hydrophilicity with an aqueous coating solution, so that the excessive liquid aromatic deodorant composition 20 can easily flow in the comb-like liquid aromatic deodorant composition storage portion, and as a result, it can be surely stored. The addition amount is about 1 to 30% by mass based on the total amount of the collector material. In this embodiment, the "epihalohydrin-based polymer" refers to an epihalohydrin homopolymer or a copolymer of an epihalohydrin and another epoxide copolymerizable therewith, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, allyl glycidyl ether, etc. Examples thereof include epichlorohydrin homopolymer, epibromohydrin homopolymer, epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer, epibromohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer, epichlorohydrin-propylene oxide copolymer, epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer, etc.

[0029] In the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container B of this embodiment, since it is held in a loosely fitting state so as to be communicable with the outside air between the inner peripheral surface 12a1 of the tip cylinder portion 12a, the entering air reaches the communication hole 12d after passing through the collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member once and is replaced with the liquid fragrance deodorant 20.

[0030] The cap 60 is detachable from the outer peripheral portion of the front shaft 12 and has an outer cap 61 and a cup-shaped inner cap 62 inside. The inner cap 62 can move forward and backward within the cap 60 and is biased rearward by a spring member 63. When the cap 60 is attached, the rear edge of the inner cap 62 abuts against and adheres to the seal cylinder 18 so that the airtightness of the fragrance volatilization member 30 can be surely maintained. On the other hand, the cap 60 has an upper end opening portion 64 and a groove in the outer peripheral portion of the inner cap 62, and ventilation from the front end to the rear end of the cap 60 when the cap 60 is not attached is ensured regardless of the presence of the inner cap 62. Further, the cap 60 is provided with a clip 65 that can be fixed when attached to the pocket of clothing on the outer peripheral portion. The clip 65 is made of a resin material and its color is formed as an image color of the component that affects the liquid fragrance deodorant 20. For example, if it volatilizes and emits fragrance, it can be "peach color", if it has a deodorizing effect, it can be "green color", if it has an effective effect such as a forest bathing effect, it can be "blue color", if it has a calming effect on people, it can be "green color", if it has an awakening effect such as waking up drowsiness, it can be "red color", etc. Further, abbreviations may be displayed (for example, "fragrance", "deodorization", "forest bathing", etc.).

[0031] In this direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container B, the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 directly accommodated in the cartridge body 15 is configured to flow out smoothly in sequence by capillary force to the communication hole 12d, the relay core 45, and the fragrance volatilization member 30. Preferably, the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 is desirably caused to flow out appropriately by capillary force to the collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member > the relay core 45 > the fragrance volatilization member 30.

[0032] In the direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container B of the present embodiment configured as described above, the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is stored in the cartridge body 15 in the accommodation space of the rear shaft 13 of the shaft body 10. A collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member formed in a comb shape on the front side of the shaft body 10 is arranged, and a relay core 45 inserted through the central portion of the collector 35 is arranged. The liquid aromatic deodorant 20 stored in the cartridge body 15 is efficiently supplied to the aromatic volatilization member 30 by the capillary forces of the relay core 45 in sequence and volatilizes. Since the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is efficiently supplied to the aromatic volatilization member 30 by the capillary forces of the relay core 45 and the like in sequence, the flow rate is stable. If the cartridge body 15 and the like are formed of a material with visibility, the remaining amount can be easily read. Also, there are no problems such as leakage of the excessive liquid aromatic deodorant 20 to the outside due to the collector 35, and a stable and continuous supply of the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 to the aromatic volatilization member 30 can be achieved. In addition, since the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 is directly stored in the replaceable cartridge body 15 arranged in the rear shaft 13, a direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container B can be obtained that can be easily used continuously for a long time by attaching a new cartridge body even after use. Similar to the direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container A of the first embodiment described above, the direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container B of the present embodiment can be carried, and by opening the cap 60 each time, it can immediately perform functions such as aromatization and deodorization, so it is also excellent in convenience. Also, since it is provided with a collector 35 serving as a temporary storage member, when the internal pressure of the cartridge body 15 rises, it is possible to prevent the liquid aromatic deodorant 20 from jetting out from the aromatic volatilization member 30, and a direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container that can satisfy the required performance is provided.

[0033] (Third Embodiment: Overall Configuration) Figures 3(a) to (c) are a plan view, a front view, and a longitudinal sectional view of a direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container showing the third embodiment. Figures 4(a) and (b), and Figures 5(a) and (b) are explanatory diagrams showing the usage states of the direct liquid type aromatic deodorant container of the third embodiment in a perspective view manner. The direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C of this embodiment is provided with a detachable cap 80 on a shaft cylinder 10 serving as a container body, and is a direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container in which a clip member 90 made of an elastic wire is attached to an end portion 81 (the tip portion in the embodiment) of the cap 80.

[0034] In this direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C, a shaft cylinder 10 serving as a container body directly houses a liquid fragrance deodorant 20 in a liquid storage portion 10a. The shaft cylinder 10 is configured in a cylindrical shape with the rear end side closed, and a tip portion 10b has a smaller diameter than the liquid storage portion 10a. A front shaft 22 for holding a fragrance volatilizing member 30 is fixed to this tip portion 10b by fitting. Note that an opening is formed from the central portion to the rear portion of a cap main body 82 of the cap 80, and an inner cylinder 83 for covering the fragrance volatilizing member 30 and an outer cylinder 84 for fitting and fixing to the outer periphery of the front shaft 22 are formed inside. Since the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 and the fragrance volatilizing member 30 are the same as those in the above first and second embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clip member 90 is rotatable in the axial direction of the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container, and a predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 of the cap 80 and a support portion 92 when the clip 91 is fixed can be fixed at a predetermined position located on a virtual same plane. This clip member 90 is, for example, given a closing force by a spring, is made of metal or plated, and can be configured by a wire clip formed by bending a wire. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b), by fixing the clip 91 at the first position and turning the predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 and the support portion 92 of the clip 91 at the first position downward, the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C can stand on its own on a placement surface such as the upper surface of a desk.

[0036] This direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C has a cap 80 that is detachable from the container body 10. The clip 91 is provided on the cap 80. When the cap 80 is attached to the container body 10 and the clip 91 is fixed at the first position (the position in the state shown in FIGS. 4(b) and 5), the distance between the predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 and the support portion 92 can ensure a distance that exceeds the axial diameter of the container body 10. Also, it is preferable that the width of the clip 91 and the outer diameter of the cap 80 substantially coincide. In this way, it is possible to achieve both the stability of the self-standing function and the clip function.

[0037] The clip 91 is rotatable from the normal position (the state of the clip 91 in FIG. 3) where the support portion 92 is adjacent to one side surface 82a of the cap 80 and can sandwich an object, toward the other side surface 82b. When the clip 91 is rotated toward the other side surface 82b and reaches the first position, the other side surface 82b of the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C can be fixed in an inclined state toward the clip side.

[0038] With the clip 91 in the first position, as shown in FIGS. 4(b), 5(a) and (b), the predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 and the support portion 92 of the clip 91 can be placed on a placement surface such as the upper surface of a desk or a support base with the downward direction. At this time, the same plane BP where the predetermined surface 81a and the support portion 92 are virtualized will coincide or substantially coincide with the placement surface. Also, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C can be suspended from an arbitrary hook such as a wall by the clip 91 fixed at the second position.

[0039] According to the direct liquid type fragrance deodorant container C of the embodiment, when the cap 60 is opened, the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 stored in the liquid storage portion 10a is stably and efficiently supplied by the capillary force of the fragrance volatilization member 30. There are no problems such as leakage to the outside, and the liquid fragrance deodorant 20 can be immediately volatilized by the fragrance volatilization member 30 to perform functions such as fragrance and deodorization. Also, by rotating the clip 91, the liquid - type fragrance deodorant container C reaches a first position where a predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 of the liquid - type fragrance deodorant container C and the support portion 92 of the clip 91 at the time of fixation are on the same virtual plane BP. Since the liquid - type fragrance deodorant container C can stand on the placement surface by the predetermined surface 81a of the end portion 81 and the support portion 92 of the clip 91 in the first position, the liquid - type fragrance deodorant container C can be made to stand on its own when not in use and placed at an arbitrary location. Therefore, the liquid - type fragrance deodorant container C has an excellent effect that it can easily stand on its own without taking up space by rotating the clip 91. As a modification of the embodiment, instead of the cap, the end portion 80 and the clip 91 may be provided at the rear end portion (the opposite end of the fragrance - volatilizing member 30) of the container body 10, and the structure may be such that the rear end portion is placed on the placement surface.

[0040] In FIGS. 1, 2, 3 - 5 above, the fragrance - volatilizing member 30 is provided on the front - end side of the container (axial cylinder) 10. However, as a structure in which the fragrance - volatilizing member 30 is also provided on the other side, it may be a twin - type. In this case, each of the fragrance deodorant containers A - C is provided with a plurality of detachable caps. Among the plurality of caps, each has a fragrance - volatilizing member 30 with a different surface area and / or volume. Each cap can be attached to the container 10 or the other cap after detachment.
