Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily adjust the strength of a blown-off fragrance by blowing off the fragrance generated in a fragrance tank storing a fragrant by a motor- driven fan and mixing and blowing out air supplied through an air take-in passage and a fragrance take-in passage and the fragrance at the time. SOLUTION: When a sensor 29 detects the approach of a person, a fan 26 is rotated by driving a motor 24 and the air sucked from the air take-in port 47 of a cover 42 is introduced through the two routes of the air take-in passage 48 between the cover 42 and a fragrance housing cassette 41 and the fragrance take-in passage 49 from the entrance 43A of the fragrance housing cassette 41 through the cassette 41 to an exit 43B to a blowing chamber 35. Then, the air and the fragrance are mixed in the blowing chamber 35 and the fragrance is generated and blown off from a blow-off port 37 on the side face of a blowing case 12. At the time, by fixing a fragrance flow rate adjustment valve on the exit 43B formed on the cylinder part 44 of the cassette 41 and adjusting the opening degree, the strength of the fragrance is adjusted.
