A perfume holding member 101 includes: a perfume holder 208 that holds perfume; a holding space 209 where the perfume holder is disposed; a first opening 202 and a second opening 211 that open the holding space to the outside; movable portions 204 and 210 that move so as to open and close the first opening and the second opening; and a tolerance absorbing portion 207 that absorbs a tolerance between the first opening/closing position of the first opening of the movable portion and the second opening/closing position of the second opening of the movable portion. The holding space has an airflow passage including the first opening and the second opening, and the movable portions close the first opening and the second opening in a steady state and open the first opening and the second opening when the holding space is opened.

In certain exemplary embodiments, an air purifier comprises a housing defining an enclosure and having an air entrance and an air exit; a particulate filter; a NCCO filter material configured to adsorb and decompose at least one gaseous pollutant; an AOG configured to generate at least one oxidant; an oxidant remover configured to remove at least one oxidant; a fan unit configured to generate airflow from the air entrance to the air exit; wherein the particulate filter, the NCCO filter material, the AOG, the oxidant remover and the fan unit are positioned within the enclosure such that during operation, a flow of air passes from the air entrance to the air exit through the particulate filter and the NCCO filter material along a direction of the flow of air. In certain embodiments, the air purifier may ensure safety to users while efficiency in removing contaminants can be greatly improved.

Apparatus for delivering a volatile material including a reservoir with an opening for containing a volatile material. A first membrane is disposed adjacent the opening of the reservoir, and a second membrane disposed adjacent the opening such that the first membrane is disposed between the second membrane and the reservoir, wherein at least a portion of the second membrane is spaced apart from the first membrane forming a vapor chamber between the first and second membranes.

The present invention relates to a solid pressed air freshener and odor neutralizer composition which can include greater than 10% fragrance. The air freshener comprises a fragrance; preferably the fragrance is impregnated within a water soluble substrate made from a foamed vegetable starch, a surfactant and a solidifier. The solid formulations break down easily in the presence of water and may be sprayed, within the area to be freshened.

Provided is an information processing apparatus that is worn on a user's body for use. The information processing apparatus includes a sensor, a communication section, a control section, a power supply section, a housing section, a sticking section, and a sticking sensor. The control section controls the sensor and the communication section. The housing section accommodates the sensor, the communication section, the control section, and the power supply section. The sticking section fastens the housing section to the user. The sticking sensor detects a state of sticking between the user and the housing on the sticking section. The control section wirelessly sends a given signal to external equipment via the communication section in response to detection, by the sticking sensor, of the fact that the sticking section has peeled off from the user or is just about to peel off from the user.

An air monitoring system includes a housing having a housing inlet and a housing outlet. An airflow is configured to pass through the housing inlet into the housing. A sensor is located within the housing. The sensor is configured to monitor at least one of a frequency of dispensation of an air cleaner from an air freshener and a level of a contaminant in the airflow. The air cleaning system is configured to transmit a sensor signal to at least one of the air freshener and a user device to at least one of: recommend a frequency for air freshening, and adjust a frequency of release of the air cleaner from the air freshener.

A capsule of a volatile substance distribution system is configured for use with a base unit having a fan and an air outlet configured to direct air driven by the fan away from the base unit. The capsule includes a housing that extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The first end defines an inlet port and the second end defines an outlet port. The housing houses a volatile substance member. The capsule further includes an outlet seal member that seals and unseals the outlet port. The housing, when engaged with the base unit and with the outlet seal member in the unsealed position, is configured to receive the air from the air outlet that flows into the inlet port, past the volatile substance member, and out of the outlet port.
