The fragrance container is provided with a ceramic circular container body 1 that opens upward, and the fragrance is charged into the container body 1. A first ring-shaped first connecting member 2 is attached to the opening of the container body 1. The first connecting member 2 has a lower half 21 inserted into the opening of the container body 1 and joined to the inner periphery of the opening edge by an adhesive. A thread 22a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper half 22 of the first connecting member 2 protruding outside the container body 1.

容器体１の開口には蓋体３が覆着されている。蓋体３は陶磁器製で下方へ開放する円形容器状をなし、その蓋面３ａ（図４）には中心に円形開口３１が形成されるとともに、周方向の三箇所には径方向へ延びる長穴状の芳香剤放出口３２が設けられている。このような蓋体３内には第２連結部材４が挿入されている。第２連結部材４は樹脂製で、蓋体３よりもやや小径で下方へ開放する円形容器状をなし、その外周面が蓋体３の内周面に接着剤により接合されている。第２連結部材４には内周面にネジ条４ａが形成されて、このネジ条４ａを上記第１連結部材２のネジ条２２ａに捩じ込むことによって、蓋体３が容器体１に着脱可能に結合されている（図３）。 A lid 3 is covered with the opening of the container body 1. The lid body 3 is made of ceramic and has a circular container shape that opens downward. A circular opening 31 is formed at the center of the lid surface 3a (FIG. 4), and a length extending in the radial direction at three circumferential positions. A hole-like fragrance discharge port 32 is provided. The second connecting member 4 is inserted into such a lid 3. The second connecting member 4 is made of resin and has a circular container shape that is slightly smaller in diameter than the lid 3 and opens downward, and the outer peripheral surface thereof is joined to the inner peripheral surface of the lid 3 by an adhesive. The second connecting member 4 is formed with a screw thread 4a on the inner peripheral surface, and the lid 3 is attached to and detached from the container body 1 by screwing the screw thread 4a into the screw thread 22a of the first connecting member 2. They are coupled together (FIG. 3).

第２連結部材４の上面外周には周方向の三箇所に開口４１が形成されて、これらは蓋体３の芳香剤放出口３２に一致している（図３）。第２連結部材４の上面中心には円筒状の節度付与部４２が突出形成されて、蓋体３の円形開口３１を経て上方へ突出している。節度付与部４２の突出端面には図５に示すように、周方向の６箇所に径方向へ横断する凹溝４２１が形成されている。 Openings 41 are formed at three locations in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the second connecting member 4, and these coincide with the fragrance discharge port 32 of the lid 3 (FIG. 3). A cylindrical moderation imparting portion 42 projects from the center of the upper surface of the second connecting member 4 and projects upward through the circular opening 31 of the lid 3. As shown in FIG. 5, concave portions 421 that traverse in the radial direction are formed at six locations in the circumferential direction on the protruding end face of the moderation portion 42.

蓋体３の上方には開閉部材５が位置している。開閉部材５は陶磁器製で、その外形は周方向の三箇所が内方へ大きくくびれて花弁部５１を形成したクローバ形状をなし（図４）、下方へ開放する浅い容器状に形成されている。開閉部材５の中心下面には取付用軸部５２が突出形成されるとともに、周方向の三箇所の外壁内面には取付用壁部５３が突出形成されている。このような開閉部材５の空間内には節度付与部材６が挿置されている。 An opening / closing member 5 is located above the lid 3. The opening / closing member 5 is made of porcelain, and its outer shape is a clover shape in which three portions in the circumferential direction are constricted inward to form a petal portion 51 (FIG. 4), and is formed in a shallow container shape that opens downward. . A mounting shaft portion 52 is formed on the lower surface of the center of the opening / closing member 5, and mounting wall portions 53 are formed on the inner surface of the outer wall at three locations in the circumferential direction. The moderation member 6 is inserted into the space of the opening / closing member 5.

図６に節度付与部材６の平面図を示し、図７には図６のＸ方向から見た側面図を示す。また、図８には図６のVIII-VIII線に沿った拡大断面図を示す。節度付与部材６は樹脂製で、上下方向に延びる貫通孔６１１を設けた中心部６１から、等角度で水平の三方向へ脚部６２が延びている。各脚部６２はＵ字断面に成形されており、その先端部内に開閉部材５の取付用壁部５３を嵌入させて（図３）これらを互いに接着してある。また、開閉部材５の取付用軸部５２は節度付与部材６の貫通孔６１１内に挿入されてここに接着されている。節度付与部材６の中心部６１は下方へ突出しており（図７）、その外周には周方向の三箇所に、外周面から脚部６２の下面へ延びる凸条６１２が形成されている（図８）。 FIG. 6 shows a plan view of the moderation member 6, and FIG. 7 shows a side view seen from the X direction of FIG. FIG. 8 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view along the line VIII-VIII in FIG. The moderation member 6 is made of resin, and leg portions 62 extend in three horizontal directions at equal angles from a central portion 61 provided with a through hole 611 extending in the vertical direction. Each leg portion 62 is formed in a U-shaped cross section, and a mounting wall portion 53 of the opening / closing member 5 is fitted into a tip portion thereof (FIG. 3) and these are bonded to each other. Further, the mounting shaft portion 52 of the opening / closing member 5 is inserted into the through hole 611 of the moderation member 6 and bonded thereto. The central portion 61 of the moderation member 6 protrudes downward (FIG. 7), and protrusions 612 extending from the outer peripheral surface to the lower surface of the leg portion 62 are formed on the outer periphery of the central portion 61 (FIG. 7). 8).

上記中心部６１は第２連結部材４の節度付与部４２の筒内に相対回動可能に挿入されており（図３）、一方、中心部６１の筒下方からは筒内へタッピングネジ６１３が捩じ込まれて、その鍔が節度付与部４２の筒下端に当接して、節度付与部材６とこれと一体の開閉部材５の抜けを防止している。この状態で、節度付与部材６の各脚部６２下面へ延びた凸条６１２が開閉部材５の自重を受けて、第２連結部材４の節度付与部４２の突出端面に形成された凹溝４２１（図５参照）に一つおきに嵌入している（図９（１））。これにより開閉部材５は図２に示すように、その花弁部５１によって蓋体３の芳香剤放出口３２を閉鎖する位置で位置決めされている。この状態では芳香剤は開閉部材５と蓋体３の隙間から僅かに放出されるだけである。 The central portion 61 is inserted into the cylinder of the moderation portion 42 of the second connecting member 4 so as to be relatively rotatable (FIG. 3), while a tapping screw 613 is inserted into the cylinder from below the cylinder of the central portion 61. When the screw is screwed in, the hook comes into contact with the lower end of the tube of the moderation portion 42 to prevent the moderation member 6 and the opening / closing member 5 integral therewith from coming off. In this state, the ridges 612 extending to the lower surfaces of the leg portions 62 of the moderation member 6 receive the weight of the opening / closing member 5, and the concave grooves 421 formed on the protruding end surface of the moderation portion 42 of the second connecting member 4. Every other (see FIG. 5) is inserted (FIG. 9 (1)). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening / closing member 5 is positioned at a position where the fragrance discharge port 32 of the lid 3 is closed by the petal portion 51 thereof. In this state, the fragrance is only slightly released from the gap between the opening / closing member 5 and the lid 3.

芳香剤を十分に放出させる場合には、開閉部材５を左右いずれかに回動させる。これにより凸条６１２が開閉部材５の自重に抗して凹溝４２１から抜け出す（図９（２））。開閉部材５を略６０°回動させると凸条６１２は次の凹溝４２１に至って開閉部材５の自重で当該凹溝４２１内に嵌入する（図９（３））。これにより、図１０に示すように、開閉部材５の花弁部５１は蓋体３の芳香剤放出口３２上から移動して、当該放出口３２を開放した位置で位置決めされる。さらに開閉部材５を略６０°回動させると凸条６１２はさらに次の凹溝４２１に至って開閉部材５の自重で当該凹溝４２１内に嵌入し、花弁部５１により蓋体３の芳香剤放出口３２を再び閉鎖する位置で開閉部材５が位置決めされる。 In order to sufficiently release the fragrance, the opening / closing member 5 is rotated to the left or right. As a result, the ridge 612 comes out of the groove 421 against the weight of the opening / closing member 5 (FIG. 9B). When the opening / closing member 5 is rotated by approximately 60 °, the ridge 612 reaches the next groove 421 and is fitted into the groove 421 by its own weight (FIG. 9 (3)). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10, the petal portion 51 of the opening / closing member 5 moves from the fragrance release port 32 of the lid 3 and is positioned at a position where the release port 32 is opened. When the opening / closing member 5 is further rotated by approximately 60 °, the ridge 612 further reaches the next concave groove 421 and is fitted into the concave groove 421 by the weight of the opening / closing member 5. The opening / closing member 5 is positioned at a position where the outlet 32 is closed again.

このように、開閉部材５を適度な節度感を伴って６０°毎に回動させることにより、芳香剤の放出口３２を交互に開放ないし閉鎖させて、簡易かつ確実に芳香量の調節を行うことができる。なお、凸条６１２は一つだけ設けても良い。また、凸条６１２を蓋体３側に、凹溝４２１を開閉部材５側に設けるようにしても良い。 In this way, by rotating the opening / closing member 5 every 60 ° with a moderate degree of moderation, the fragrance release port 32 is alternately opened or closed, and the amount of fragrance is adjusted easily and reliably. be able to. Only one ridge 612 may be provided. Moreover, you may make it provide the protruding item | line 612 in the cover body 3 side, and the groove 421 in the opening-and-closing member 5 side.
