The composition has a yield stress greater than zero and less than 1,000 mPa as determined by the RHEOLOGY TEST METHOD. The spray product includes a valve in composition communication with the reservoir; an actuator in mechanical communication with the valve; a nozzle having an outlet orifice; a swirl chamber in composition communication with the outlet orifice; and a plurality of swirl chamber swirl chamber inlet channels in composition communication with the swirl chamber. The outlet orifice is defined by an outlet orifice diameter and an outlet orifice axial length. A ratio of the outlet orifice diameter to the axial length is from about 1.3 to about 3.5.

FRAGRANCE DISPENSER
20230014596 · 2023-01-19 ·

Fragrance dispensers with features that are capable of reducing wastage of fragrance, or of conserving fragrance, are disclosed. Such a fragrance dispenser may have a configuration that collects fragrance that is expelled from the fragrance dispenser, but has not vaporized or atomized sufficiently to dissipate into the environment, as well as fragrance that condenses immediately after it has been expelled from the fragrance dispenser. A spill-resistant bottle that may be used with a fragrance dispenser has a shape that orients an opening of the bottle in a somewhat upward orientation to prevent fragrance from spilling out when the bottle is tipped over. Fragrance dispensers with configurations that generate vortices to deliver fragrance into the surrounding environment are also disclosed.

AIRBORN PATHOGEN DISENFECTING SYSTEM WITH INTERCHANGEABLE FILTERS FOR AN HVAC SYSTEM
20230211035 · 2023-07-06 ·

The present invention provides for a system for disinfecting air circulated in an HVAC system. The system includes at least one spray ring forming a continuous loop surrounding an outer surface of HVAC ductwork. The system further includes a plurality of spray nozzles connecting to each of the spray rings in the at least one spray ring, wherein each nozzle extends through an aperture in the HVAC ductwork, wherein a space between each nozzle and each aperture is sealed by a rubber gasket.

Pop-out diffuser and mobile-power-base apparatus and method
11541143 · 2023-01-03 ·

A compact diffuser integrates an atomizer and droplet separator into a surrounding sleeve, threadable to a bottle neck as an assembly. The assembly fits into a base, housing a motor and air pump, sealing the sleeve to a silo in the housing. Controls set time span of intermittent operation, intervening delay, and volumetric flow rate. The assembly pops into (and out of) the top end of a silo in the base, registering (aligning) circumferentially and axially to seal an air path from the pump to the atomizer. Access for applying force to the bottom of the assembly facilitates popping out the assembly when empty, or to simply change scent by changing out the assembly. Entire assemblies may be stored to simplify exchange and reduce chances for spills from reservoirs.

WARMER FOR SCENTED CANDLE
20220395600 · 2022-12-15 ·

Disclosed is a scented candle warmer for overcoming trouble and inconvenience at once by easily processing and storing melted drippings and then simply discarding the drippings, and including a main body part including an accommodation groove for accommodating a collection container therein and a luminaire part formed on an upper part thereof, the collection container having a storage space for storing drippings of a scented candle and accommodated on or removed from the accommodation groove of the main body part, and a support part configured to detachably cover an upper part of the collection container and to simultaneously accommodate a scented candle container on an upper part thereof.

Hand wash cleaning and environmental purification diffuser

A hand wash cleaning and environmental purification diffuser includes tank cover covered on a slot of a water tank in a bottom shell, a diffusing cover assembled to an opening of the bottom shell to shield the tank cover, an air flow channel formed in the oscillation space in the water tank and shaped like a tubular bulge so that when the diffuser is dumped, the liquid in the water tank is less likely to seep directly into the interior of the diffuser or the environment, two oscillators mounted in the oscillation space in the water tank and respectively coated with a layer of acid and alkali resistant coating, users can add safe cleaning liquids such as alkaline ionized water to the oscillation space and atomize into a cleaning mist, which can be used as deodorization and sterilization for hand cleaning, disinfection and environmental purification, and is safe to use.

System for dispensing substance
11524313 · 2022-12-13 ·

A wearable system for dispensing a substance is disclosed. The wearable system includes a base element, at least one reservoir surface defining a reservoir disposed in the base element, at least one first opening disposed along on an outward facing portion of the base element and providing fluid communication with the reservoir, and a rolling element disposed in the at least one first opening such that a first portion of the rolling element is outside the base element and a second portion of the rolling element is inside the base element.

OLFACTORY ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
20220362429 · 2022-11-17 ·

An olfactory environment management system includes a plurality of odor sensors, an aroma diffusing device, and a control server. Each of the plurality of odor sensors detects a chemical substance and determines a detected concentration of the chemical substance. The aroma diffusing device is equipped with first to n-th aroma capsules selected among a plurality of aroma capsules.
