  • Patent number: 7837649
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nasal clip including two parts which are both injection molded. The first part, the base with a holster cavity for the second piece, the scent bar, which is impregnated with an aromatic substance such as essential oils, or aromatic medications. The purpose of the holster cavity is to keep the scent bar away from the skin, since the oils can irritate the skin if in direct contact. The base is fashioned in a way with various openings in order to emit as much aroma as possible. The scent bar is formed of a porous material, such as a poly-olefin plastic that undergoes a process of impregnation on saturation with the aromatic substance. The concentration of each type of aromatic substance will determine the length of time the scent bar will be soaked with may range from as little as a few hours to as much as a week. The nature of the poly-olefin plastic is to naturally absorb up to 30% of the aromatic substance.
