Abstract

A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus includes an apparatus main body having an air inlet and an air outlet, a fan type blower disposed in the apparatus main body, and an active ingredient impregnated body or mass for containing an active ingredient. The fan type blower includes a fan casing, a motor, and a fan including a rotary disk and a plurality of blades fastened to a peripheral portion of the rotary disk and provided with a hollow space that is on an interior of the fan with respect to the blades. The fan type blower is operable to send air from the air inlet through the hollow space and out through the air outlet.

Claims (15)

1. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus, comprising:

an apparatus main body having an air inlet and an air outlet;

a fan type blower disposed in said apparatus main body and including a motor, a fan comprising a rotary disk and a plurality of blades fastened to a peripheral portion of the rotary disk and provided with an annular hollow space that is on an interior of the fan and surrounded by the blades, and a fan casing surrounding the fan; and

an annular active ingredient impregnated body or mass, for containing an active ingredient, which is disposed in said annular hollow space and separated from said fan and is detachably fixed directly to said fan casing; and

wherein said fan type blower is operable to send air from said air inlet through said hollow space and out through said air outlet.

2. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said active ingredient impregnated body or mass is removably mounted in said hollow space.

3. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said active ingredient impregnated body or mass comprises a mass of discrete particles impregnable with said active ingredient, and said particles each have a shape such that a maximum area of contact of one of the particles with another is not larger than one half of a total surface area thereof.

4. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said active ingredient impregnated body or mass comprises a mass of discrete particles impregnable with said active ingredient, and said particles have a real volume which, as expressed by [apparent volume×(1-percentage of void or voids/100)], ranges from 5×10 −5 to 5×10 5 mm 3 per particle.

5. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fan type blower is adapted to send air into, through and out of an active ingredient impregnated body or mass receptacle that accommodates the active ingredient impregnated mass or body, which comprises a mass of discrete particles with an air flow therethrough ranging between 0.01 and 1.0 m 3 /min, and said particles then have a specific gravity ranging between 0.005 and 0.5.

6. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said active ingredient impregnated body or mass and a receptacle therefor is pre-treated for an antistatic.

7. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a casing of the active ingredient impregnated mass or body is made of plastic comprising at least one of: polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, ABS, polystyrene, AS, methacrylate resin, polyvinyl alcohol, EVA, phenol resin, silicone resin, polyamide resin, polyacetal resin, polycarbonate resin and thermoplastic polyester resin.

8. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an end point making method for said active ingredient impregnated body or mass is a method of using a lipophilic anthraquinone dye for the impregnated body if hydrophilic and utilizing the phenomena that the color of the dye if dissolved in the chemical is recognizable and that when the chemical is evaporated out the dye gets into the body to make its color unrecognizable.

9. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an end point making method for said active ingredient impregnated body or mass is a method of utilizing a color changeable pigment made of a color changeable electron releasing organic compound and a desensitizer.

10. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an end point making method for said active ingredient impregnated body or mass is a method of utilizing a color changeable electron releasing organic compound, a desensitizer and a color developer.

11. A fan type chemical diffusing apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an end point making method for said active ingredient impregnated body or mass is a method in which the rate of sublimation of a subliming agent is made substantially equal to the rate of volatilization of the chemical.
