Patent number: 8511580Abstract: Comprises a vessel (1) that houses the active liquid substance to be diffused, such as a fragrance, insecticide or other, through a breathable membrane (2) that closes the vessel (1) and comprises a porous part (3) placed near and parallel to the breathable membrane (2) in order to prevent the deformation of the membrane (2) when a vacuum is generated as the vessel (1) is emptied. The porous part (3) has a number of openings (4) through which passes the liquid to ensure its contact with the membrane (2) at all times for a homogenous evaporation and it occupies part of the volume of the vessel (1), absorbing the active substances, the non-volatile substances remaining in said porous part (3) after the vessel (1) has no more volatile components.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2005Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Zobele Espana, S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Ruben Garcia Fabrega, Jose Antonio Muñoz Martinez

Patent number: 7780094Abstract: A diffuser for an air freshener product includes a casing having front and rear casing portions fastened together. A neck opening is formed inside said casing into which a neck of an air freshener reservoir is secured. A wick extends from the neck of the air freshener reservoir into the interior of the casing. The casing has openings in the front and back through which air flows. An air flow control element is provided in the casing to permit a user to change the air flow to the wick and thereby vary the air freshener product dispersed into the air. The air flow control element has a knob extending from the casing that is operable by the user. The rear portion of the casing has a fastener to which is attached a clip having two extended flexible arms that engage into a vent grill of an air conditioner system of a vehicle. The clip is securable in the fastener at positions oriented 90 degrees from one another to enable the clip to be fastened to vertically or horizontally oriented air conditioner grill slats.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Zobele Espana, S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Ruben Garcia Fabrega, Xavier Alvarez Leal

Patent number: 7581897Abstract: The device comprises an applicator (2) and a cover (5) configured to be adaptable on the applicator (2), the external face (3) of which is impregnated with conditioning substance for shoes by rolling dispenser means (10) incorporated in the internal face (9) of the cover (5), which includes a reservoir (4) with such substance. The substance dosing is produced on opening the device, the applicator (2) sliding, via some guides (8) arranged on the lateral face (7) of the cover (5), over the dispenser means (10) which apply an optimum quantity of substance to the external face (3) of the applicator (2), with which the footwear is subsequently rubbed to clean it. When used, the device is closed by transversely coupling the applicator (2) inside the cover (5), preferably of plastic with transparent reservoir (4). For convenience, the device can incorporate an ergonomic handle (1) joined to the applicator (2).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2005Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Zobele Espana S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Julio Cesar Ruiz Ballesteros, Jose Antonio Munoz Martinez, David Moreno Perez, Xavier Alvarez Leal, Fernando Mayor Sans

Patent number: 7530503Abstract: The device comprises a laminar element (1) made of a flexible material adapted to be folded along a folding line (26), comprising at least a first part (2) and a second part (4). Said first part (2) has a deposit (3) containing a product (30) origin of volatile substances. The second part (4) has a hook configuration (5) with a lateral opening (12) and a central groove (24) that can be occupied by removable adhesive means. Both parts (2, 4) are manufactured in a single industrial process, without additional parts but incorporating various attachment means and even other parts for functions of regulation or protection of the diffusion means, or which replicate the diffusion functionality allowing the user to combine effects. They also allow selecting the form of application in any location: hanging, adhered, joined to another identical device or folded and supporting itself on a horizontal surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Zobele España, S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Ruben Garcia Fábrega, Jose Antonio Muñoz Martinez, David Moreno Pérez

Patent number: 7400822Abstract: An evaporator device for active substances is designed for using active substances established in a paper tablet or the like, or in a tray with a semipermeable membrane, in gel form, comprising a base body with a U-shaped profile inside coupled by insertion to a support provided with two housings and, the former adapted in size and shape to receive within it a tray and the second to receive a tablet, so that both the tray and tablet can be placed in the same support opposite the heating surface of the device. This allows using the device equally with either format of the active substance. The device also includes a safety mechanism comprising teeth that lock in the closed position, preventing or making it difficult for children to displace or extract the support from the casing, that requires pressing inwards on two lateral opposing areas of the casing to open.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Zobele Espana, S.A.Inventors: Julio Cesar Ruiz Ballesteros, Ruben Garcia Fabrega, Andrea Caserta

Patent number: 7382975Abstract: Incorporates a device for active substances (3) which has a wick (6) and a first heating resistor (8) for operating the diffuser on normal system. It also has a single button (12) connected through an electronic circuit (10) to an additional second heating resistor (9) located in the same channel and after the first heating resistor (8) in the vicinity of the wick (6). Activation of the button (12) determines the switching on of the second heating resistor (9) and can also activate at the same time a fan (4) or even based on a fan speed (4) increase the same, moving from normal operating mode to boost mode in which a substantial and instant increase in evaporation and diffusion of the active substances is produced.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Zobele Espana, S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Ruben Garcia Fabrega, Pere Casas Colomer, Joan Gusi Hidalgo, Cedric Morhain

Patent number: 7379662Abstract: The device for diffusing volatile substances comprises two containers (1, 2) to hold respective liquids with respective volatile substances. Each container has at least one aperture closed by a cap (12, 22). The device is configured so that it can be located on a supporting surface with the containers (1, 2) vertically confronting, so that one of the containers is selectively in an upper position or in a lower position with respect to the other container. The container which is in the upper position emanates the volatile substance which it contains, and the other one does not emanate the volatile substance which it contains.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Zobele España, S.A.Inventors: Andrea Caserta, Cedric Morhain, David Moreno Perez, Jose Antonio Muñoz Martinez

Patent number: 7357561Abstract: The device forms a single unit that includes the way by which the evaporation of active substances is achieved, as well the way that allows automatically lighting a small lamp or LED that emits a small light illuminating the container of the active substance to be evaporated. This allows one to see the contents in the dark and, in addition, constituting a light in the dark for the area surrounding the device, with the particularity that the volume of this device does not increase with respect to the devices meant to individually evaporate active substances and emit a light. The design of the device includes a general casing comprising a pinholder body for a plug and the container itself for the active substance, in such a way that the body incorporates a sensor that emits a signal for the automatic activation of the lamp or illumination LED when the light intensity is below a pre-established threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Zobele Espana, S.A.Inventors: Joan Gusi Hidalgo, Ruben Garcia Fabrega, Andrea Caserta
