Abstract

[Object] It is possible to efficiently perfume using a relatively small amount of fragrance material while an increase in size of a perfuming device is minimized. [Solution] Provided is a cartridge for a perfuming device, including: a main body part; an air flow channel that is provided in the main body part and has both ends that are open; and a fragrance material held in at least a part of an inner surface of the air flow channel.

Claims (16)

1. A cartridge for a perfuming device, comprising:

a main body part;

a plurality of air flow channels provided in the main body part and each having both ends that are open, each air flow channel having a tapered shape outlet opening in which a diameter increases toward an opening end; and

a fragrance material held in at least a part of an inner surface of the air flow channel,

wherein the outlet openings of the plurality of air flow channels are disposed on circumferences of a plurality of concentric circles having different diameters.

2. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the air flow channel has a value in the range of 10 to 1,000 μm.

3. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 1 , wherein an inlet opening of the air flow channel has a tapered shape in which a diameter increases toward an opening end.

4. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 1 , wherein the air flow channel branches at least at one branching section and has a plurality of outlet openings.

5. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 1 , wherein the air flow channel has a plurality of inlet openings which merge at least at one merging section.

6. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 1 , wherein the air flow channel has surface enlarging parts that enlarge a surface inside the channel.

7. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 6 , wherein the surface enlarging parts have a rotation-symmetric structure with respect to an axial center of the air flow channel, a translation-symmetric structure in an axial direction of the air flow channel, and a reflection-symmetric structure in the axial direction of the air flow channel.

8. The cartridge for a perfuming device according to claim 6 , wherein, when the air flow channel is viewed in an axial direction, the surface enlarging parts have a grid shape in which the surface enlarging parts intersect on a predetermined axis.

9. A perfuming device comprising:

a cartridge including a main body part, a plurality of air flow channels provided in the main body part and each having both ends that are open, each air flow channel having a tapered shape outlet opening in which a diameter increases toward an opening end, and a fragrance material held in at least a part of an inner surface of the air flow channel; and

an air blowing part that supplies air to the air flow channel of the cartridge,

wherein the outlet openings of the plurality of air flow channels are disposed on circumferences of a plurality of concentric circles having different diameters.
