SURFACE CLEANING DEVICE WITH ODOR MANAGEMENT
A surface cleaning device includes a nozzle and an odor dial assembly. The nozzle includes a nozzle housing and a dirty air passageway. The odor dial assembly include a fragrance member and a dial body configured to be removably coupled to the nozzle housing. The dial body at least partially defines a fragrance cavity configured to at least partially receive the fragrance member and a fragrance passageway extending therethrough. The odor dial assembly is configured to transition between a plurality of user-selectable positions to adjust an amount of fragrance particles released by the fragrance member into the dirty air passageway.
DEVICE FOR DIFFUSING VOLATILE SUBSTANCES
The device for diffusing volatile substances, which having a container that includes a mouthpiece, the container containing a liquid with volatile substances; and a wick that is impregnated with said liquid contained in the container, which also includes a base located around the mouthpiece of the container, the wick being fixed in the interior of said base. It makes it possible to avoid leaks and to ensure the correct dosage and evaporation of the formulation that is inside the container.
Antiperspirant and Deodorant Compositions Comprising Malodor Reduction Compositions
The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.
Aroma delivery system for aerosol delivery device
The present disclosure provides an aerosol precursor consumable, and an aerosol delivery device that comprises a control unit that defines a receiving chamber, and a removable and replaceable aerosol precursor consumable, at least a portion of the consumable configured to be received into the receiving chamber. The aerosol precursor consumable comprises a housing defining an outer wall, an aerosol precursor composition reservoir located in the housing and configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, an atomizer located in the housing, and at least one aroma diffuser. The atomizer is configured to vaporize the aerosol precursor composition to generate an aerosol for oral delivery to a user, and the at least one aroma diffuser is configured to diffuse an aroma composition for olfactory delivery to the user.
METHOD AND SYSTEM OF A NETWORKED SCENT DIFFUSION DEVICE
Aspects of the present disclosure include a method of managing scent in an environment, which includes disposing at least one scent diffusion device within an environment, wherein the at least one scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer, receiving at least one target value of a scent parameter for the environment at the remote computer, and controlling, via the remote computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with the at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter. Controlling a diffusion rate of the liquid includes altering at least one of a voltage and a duty cycle applied to at least one component of the diffusion device.
SWITCHABLE GAS AND LIQUID RELEASE AND DELIVERY DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for implementing switchable dispensing and/or delivery of scented substances. In one aspect, a device includes a cartridge structured to include one or more chambers containing one or more scented substances contained in a corresponding chamber, a housing structured to include a compartment to hold the cartridge, an opening to allow the scented sub stances to dispense to an outer environment from the device, and one or more transporting channels formed between the compartment and the opening, in which each of the one or more transporting channels is configured to accelerate a scented substance from the corresponding chamber to the opening, and an actuator switch arranged in a corresponding transporting channel and operable to move between an open position and a closed position based on an applied signal to selectively allow passage of the scented substance from the corresponding transporting path.
FRAGRANCE DISPENSERS AND METHODS
Various fragrance dispensers are disclosed. The fragrance dispenser can include a core unit that has a connection unit and a control unit. The fragrance dispenser can include a cartridge that is configured to engage with the core unit. The cartridge can include an impeller and a fragrant material. The fragrance dispenser can have a motor that drives the impeller, thereby dispersing the fragrance. The cartridge can be configured to disengage from the connection unit, such as when the cartridge reaches a depleted state.
Apparatus for delivering a volatile material
An apparatus for delivering a volatile material in a continuous manner is disclosed. The apparatus includes a delivery engine having a reservoir for containing a volatile material; a rupturable substrate secured to the reservoir; a rupture element positioned adjacent to the rupturable substrate; and a breathable membrane enclosing the reservoir, rupturable substrate and rupture element. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a housing having a notch for compressing the rupture element and breaching the rupturable substrate as it is inserted into the housing.
Switchable digital scent generation and release, and vapor and liquid delivery methods and systems
Methods, devices and systems are described for digitally creating new scents or digitally dispensing gas, vapor, or liquid substances. A device includes a container or replaceable cartridge including one or more chambers containing one or more scented substances; a housing structured to include a compartment to hold the cartridge, an opening to allow the one or more scented or unscented substances to dispense to an outer environment from the device, and one or more transporting channels formed between the compartment and the opening, in which each of the one or more transporting channels is configured to deliver a scented substance from the corresponding chamber to the opening for delivering a scent from the one or more scented substances; and an actuator switch arranged in a corresponding transporting channel and rapidly operable to move between an open position and closed position based on an applied signal to selectively allow passage of the scented or unscented substance from the corresponding transporting path.
AIR ENHANCING DEVICE
An air enhancing device (1) for disseminating molecules and/or other substances into the air is disclosed comprising a base frame (5) configured to be fixedly mounted in a wall, panel, or furniture of a human accessible space, in particular in an in-wall box or an in-wall cavity in a wall of a building; a cartridge holder (7) attached to the base frame (5) and configured to receive a removable cartridge, the cartridge being designed to contain a fluid substance; and a fan and/or microblower configured to draw air into the air enhancing device (1) and expel air containing at least a portion of the substance out of the air enhancing device (1) into the human accessible space; and/or an emission module attached to the base frame (5) in fluid communication with the cartridge and configured to distribute a portion of the fluid substance into the air.
