Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearable release device that is worn on a human body and used.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in order to obtain a comfortable environment in public places such as when going out or at work, there are known release devices that are worn by people and are suitable for carrying by people, which emit components having antibacterial and antiviral properties or emit aromas. For example, a pendant type that is hung around the neck as in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-73773 (Patent Document 1), and a strap type, a cushion type, etc. as in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-176050 (Patent Document 2) are known.

[0003] According to these devices, although it is considered that to some extent it is possible to improve the air around the wearer regardless of gender or age and obtain a comfortable environment, since the distance from the human respiratory organ becomes far, the antibacterial and antiviral effects and the aroma effect are attenuated. In particular, considering the current situation where masks are worn throughout the year to prevent the spread of infection under the threat of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it was difficult to say that there was a sufficient effect.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a wearable release device that can obtain a higher effect than conventional wearable release devices.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The wearable release device of the present invention made to solve the above problems comprises: a cartridge in which a through hole formed in an outer wall is sealed by a sealing member, and the substance accommodated therein can be released from the through hole by removing and opening the sealing member during use; a cartridge holding part having a discharge port communicating with the through hole for discharging the substance to the outside and holding the cartridge in a replaceable manner; a mounting part for mounting the cartridge holding part at a position above a person's nostrils, and is characterized in that the substance is released and used in a state of being mounted at a position above a person's nostrils. According to the present invention, in a cartridge-type and repeatedly usable wearable release device, by configuring the cartridge to be positioned above a person's nostrils and releasing the substance from the inside, it is possible to release the substance from a location closer to a person's respiratory organs. For example, when the substance is heavier than air, a wearable release device that can particularly enhance the effect can be provided.

[0007] Further, when the mounting part is a headband type that is mounted on a person's forehead and the cartridge holding part is attached to the center of the mounting part, anyone can easily mount it, and a product rich in the design of the headband part can be manufactured.

[0008] Further, when the mounting part is a clip type and the clip-type mounting part can be attached to glasses, a face guard, or a hat, the wearer can easily attach it retroactively to clothing such as glasses, magnifying glasses, sunglasses, face shields, hats, helmets, and sun visors that the wearer was originally using.

[0009]

[0010] Furthermore, when the discharge port is formed downward in a state of being worn on a person, the substance can be released toward a person's respiratory organs most efficiently.​

[0011] Further, when the discharge ports are respectively formed in the left - right direction in a state of being worn on a person, substances can be discharged toward the periphery of the person's respiratory organs in a relatively wide range.

[0012] Furthermore, when the cartridge holding part and the wearing part are detachably connected to each other by a connecting part, not only is it easy to replace them when they are consumed or damaged, but it is also possible to select and replace the wearing part of a preferred type according to the situation and use it. In addition, it is also possible to select and use the cartridge holding part and the wearing part from preferred designs.

[0013] Also, when the inner wall side edge of the discharge port is provided with an opening protrusion protruding on the inner wall side of the cartridge holding part, and when the cartridge is inserted into the cartridge holding part, the opening protrusion presses the sealing member to remove the sealing member and open it, simply attaching the cartridge to the cartridge holding part completes the preparation for use and makes it possible to wear it. Therefore, it can be easily used especially by a wide range of ages.

[0014] Furthermore, when the substance is a substance that exhibits antiviral properties, it can be a wearable discharge device that enables prevention of virus infection when used in combination with a mask.

[0015] Also, when having a carrier for carrying the substance and the carrier is a plant processed product, for example, by appropriately treating plants such as coffee beans, tea leaves, and wood to make a carrier, the fragrance, essence, etc. originally emitted by the material itself can be used as the substance to be discharged. In particular, by using wood chips or large sawdust molded products made from woods such as cedar, cypress, Japanese oak, nanmu, and cherry, while effectively utilizing the wood, it is possible to obtain a relaxation effect due to the natural fragrance, an antibacterial effect, an insect - repellent effect, etc.

Effects of the Invention

[0016] In a replaceable cartridge type releasing device worn on the human body, by positioning the cartridge holding part above the human nostrils, a higher effect can be obtained by releasing a substance from a location closer to the human respiratory organ than in a conventional wearable releasing device.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0019] FIGS. 1 to 7 are diagrams showing a preferred embodiment of the wearable release device of the present invention. This wearable release device 1 includes a carrier 10 carrying a substance M, a cartridge 20 that houses the carrier 10 and can release the substance M to the outside by being opened during use, a cartridge holding portion 30 that has a discharge port 38 for discharging the substance M and holds the cartridge 20 in a replaceable manner, a mounting portion 40 for mounting the cartridge holding portion 30 on the forehead, which is a position above the human nostrils, and a connecting portion 50 that connects the cartridge holding portion 30 and the mounting portion 40. As shown in FIG. 2, the substance M is discharged and used in a state of being mounted on a human forehead.

[0020] The substance M in the present invention can be any substance except substances that are clearly toxic to the human body. For example, when a substance that emits an aroma is used, depending on its type, it can give the wearer a feeling of coolness or a relaxation effect. Also, when a substance that exhibits antibacterial or antiviral properties is used, it is very useful as a measure against infectious diseases that can be implemented in addition to a mask.

[0021] The substance M in the present embodiment has antiviral properties and can take infection prevention measures by exerting antiviral properties against the air around the wearer, particularly around the respiratory organs. Furthermore, by adding a certain amount of fragrance, even if the antiviral component has a characteristic odor, the wearer can obtain a pleasant smell without feeling discomfort and achieve comfortable wearability.

[0022] Particularly, in this embodiment, since the substance M is released from the position of a person's forehead, when the gas containing the substance M is heavier than air, it can more effectively affect the air around the wearer's respiratory organs.

[0023] The carrier 10 is a substance that can carry the substance M and has the property of being gradually releasable into the atmosphere, and has a shape that does not fall off from the through-hole 24 of the cartridge 20 described later. Its state can be a solid such as powder, granular, spherical, or pellet-shaped, a gel-like body, or a liquid. In this embodiment, a granular porous body is used.

[0024] The cartridge 20 includes a cylindrical cartridge body 21 with one end open, and a cartridge lid 22 that covers and closes the cartridge body 21, and houses the carrier 10 therein. A through-hole 24 communicating with the outer wall is formed through the bottom surface 23 of the cartridge body 21, and the through-hole 24 is closed by a ball-shaped sealing member 25.

[0025] The cartridge holding portion 30 includes a case 31 with an upper surface opening, a lid 32 that is attached by a hinge 33 so as to be openable and closable and closes the opening of the case 31, and a decorative member 34 disposed on the front surface of the case 31. The case 31 has a socket 35 formed on its inner wall for inserting the cartridge 20, a space 36 formed around the socket 35 into which two fingers can be inserted to pinch the cartridge 20 from the left and right when removing the cartridge 20, a discharge port 38 formed through the bottom surface 37 of the socket 35, and an unsealing protrusion 39 formed continuously and protruding from the bottom surface 37 of the socket 35 to the edge of the socket 35 on the discharge port 38 side.

[0026] In this way, by configuring the decorative member 34 separately from the case 31 and attaching it to the surface, it becomes possible to apply decorations such as beautiful patterns or character designs, and it can be used not only for practicality but also as an accessory, enhancing the value as a product for people of all ages, including children.

[0027] The mounting part 40 is a C-shaped headband 41 formed of a material such as an elastic synthetic resin and having a partially cut-out shape, and can be easily mounted on and removed from a person's forehead. Further, the cartridge holding part 30 is disposed at the center of the C-shaped headband 41.

[0028] The connecting part 50 desirably enables arbitrary connection or disconnection between the cartridge holding part 30 and the mounting part 40. In the present embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener 51 is used, but other components such as a suction cup or a double-sided tape are also suitable. Note that the cartridge holding part 30 and the mounting part 40 may be fixedly connected in a non-detachable manner by using an adhesive or the like.

[0029] In a state where the wearable release device 1 according to the present embodiment is mounted on a person's forehead, the cartridge holding part 30 is disposed at the center of the C-shaped headband 41, so that the cartridge holding part 30 is positioned in front of the person, and the discharge port 38 is formed to face downward. Therefore, the substance M can be most efficiently discharged toward the person's respiratory organ.

[0030] When using the wearable release device 1 according to the present invention, the preparation for use is completed simply by inserting the cartridge 20 into the socket 35 of the cartridge holding part 30 (see FIGS. 3 and 5), and it can be used by mounting the mounting part 40 on a person's forehead.

[0031] At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the ball-shaped sealing member 25 that closes the through hole 24 of the cartridge 20 is pressed and pushed up by the opening protrusion 39 formed by standing upright from the bottom surface 37 of the socket 35, and is automatically opened.

[0032] Then, the substance M carried on the carrier 10 accommodated in the cartridge 20 is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 38 of the cartridge holding member 30 communicating with the through hole 24 of the cartridge 20.

[0033] In addition to the ball-shaped sealing member 25 in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 8(a), a break-seal type sealing member 26 that is opened by being pressed by the opening protrusion 39 as shown in FIG. 8(b) can also be used. Further, a peel-seal type sealing member 27 that is opened by manually peeling it off before insertion into the socket 35 as shown in FIG. 8(c) can also be used.

[0034] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing different mounting portions. Like the mounting type discharge device 2 shown in this figure, the mounting portion 40 can also be an annular headband 42 made of an expandable material such as rubber. Further, the cartridge holding portion 30 is disposed at the center of the annular headband 42.

[0035] Similar to the mounting type discharge device 1, even when the mounting type discharge device 2 according to the present embodiment is mounted on a person's forehead, the cartridge holding portion 30 is disposed at the center of the annular headband 42, so that the cartridge holding portion 30 is located in front of the person, and the discharge port 38 is formed to face downward.

[0036] FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams showing embodiments with enhanced decorativeness in the mounting type discharge device of the present invention. The mounting type discharge device 3 shown in these figures is formed such that the cartridge holding portion 30 as a whole has an elliptical shape, and a decorative member 34 is disposed on its front surface, so that it can have a decorative property similar to that of ornaments such as brooches and pendants.

[0037] Figs. 11 to 14 show another form of the wearable release device of the present invention. This wearable release device 4 includes a carrier 10 carrying a substance M, a cartridge 60 that houses the carrier 10 and can release the substance M to the outside when opened during use, a cartridge holding part 70 that has a discharge port 78 for discharging the substance M and holds the cartridge 60 in a replaceable manner, a mounting part 40 for mounting the cartridge holding part 70 on the forehead, which is located above the human nostrils, and a connecting part 50 that connects the cartridge holding part 70 and the mounting part 40. It is the same as the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 in that the substance M is discharged and used while being mounted on the forehead, which is located above the human nostrils, but the shape of the cartridge 60 and the shape of the cartridge holding part 70 are different.

[0038] The cartridge 60 includes a cylindrical cartridge body 61 with one end open and a cartridge lid 62 that covers and closes the cartridge body 61, and houses the carrier 10 carrying the substance M inside. The cartridge body 61 has a through hole 64 formed through the bottom surface 63, and the cartridge lid 62 has a through hole 66 formed through the top surface 65. In the state before opening, the through holes 64 and 66 are closed by peel-seal type sealing members 67, 67 (see Figs. 13 and 14).

[0039] The cartridge holding part 70 includes a case 71 with an open end and a cone-shaped other end, and a cone-shaped lid 72 that is attached to be openable and closable by a hinge 73 and closes the opening of the case 71. The case 71 has a socket 75 for inserting the cartridge 60 and a discharge port 77 formed through three locations in communication with the bottom surface 76 of the socket 75. The lid 72 has a discharge port 79 formed through three locations in communication with the top surface 78 of the socket 75.

[0040] In this way, by providing one through-hole 64 and 66 at each end of the cartridge 60 respectively, and providing three discharge ports 77 and 79 at each end of the cartridge holding part 70 respectively, when the wearable discharge device 4 according to the present embodiment is worn on a person's forehead, the cartridge holding part 70 is located in front of the person, and the discharge ports 77 and 79 are formed to face left and right directions respectively. Therefore, the substance M can be discharged toward the periphery of the person's respiratory organs in a relatively wide range.

[0041] FIGS. 15 to 16 are diagrams showing another form of the wearable discharge device of the present invention. Since the wearable discharge device 5 is the same as the wearable discharge device 4 shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 except for the connecting part 50 composed of clips 52 and 52, the description thereof will be omitted.

[0042] By making the connecting part into the clip 52 in this way, the connection or disconnection between the cartridge holding part 70 and the mounting part 40 can be arbitrarily performed, which is particularly suitable when the mounting part is glasses or a hat.

[0043] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a state in which glasses 43 are used as the mounting part 40. As shown in this figure, the cartridge holding part 70 can be easily connected in such a way that the clips 52 and 52 which are the connecting part 50 are sandwiched and engaged with the bridge part of the glasses 43, and the glasses usually used by the wearer can be used, which is very economical and highly convenient. Note that the term "glasses" in this specification collectively refers to glasses-type instruments such as glasses, magnifying glasses, sunglasses, protective glasses, and goggles.

[0044] At this time, the directions of the cartridge holding part 70 and the discharge ports 77 and 79 in the wearable discharge device 5 using the glasses 43 are shifted by 90° from those of the cartridge holding part 70 and the discharge ports 77 and 79 in the wearable discharge device 4 using the C-shaped headband 41 shown in FIG. 10, but in both cases, the discharge ports 77 and 79 face left and right directions respectively, and there is no problem in use.

[0045] Alternatively, the cartridge holding part 70 may be connected in such a way that clips 52, 52 which are the connecting parts 50 are attached to a face shield (not shown). The face shield mentioned here refers to an instrument which has a wearing part such as a glasses type or a headband type and a transparent plate-shaped shield part, and is worn on a person's face for preventing droplets.

[0046] Alternatively, the cartridge holding part 70 may be connected in such a way that clips 52, 52 which are the connecting parts 50 are attached by being fastened to a hat (not shown). Note that the term "hat" in this specification collectively refers to hat-shaped instruments such as hats, helmets, and visors.

[0047] In each embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the substance M and the carrier 10 are manufactured separately and the substance M is added to the carrier 10 later. However, for example, plants such as coffee beans, tea leaves, and wood may be appropriately processed to be used as the carrier, and the fragrance or essence emitted from the material itself may be used as the substance. In particular, by using wood chips or large sawdust molded products made of trees such as cedar, cypress, Japanese oak, nanmu, and cherry, it is possible to achieve effective utilization of wood and obtain a relaxation effect due to a naturally derived fragrance, an antibacterial action, an insect repellent action, or the like.

[0048] As described above, according to the present invention, in a replaceable cartridge type discharge device worn on the human body, by positioning the cartridge holding part on a person's forehead, a higher effect can be obtained by discharging the substance from a place closer to the human respiratory organ than in a conventional wearable discharge device.
