Patent number: 7129204Abstract: A substantially odorless aromatic amine trapping agent is used in a composition including perfume for the purpose of enabling the perfume and trapping agent to react chemically together spontaneously and reversibly to form a reaction product form which the perfume can be released. In the reaction product, the perfume may be protected against degradation, premature evaporation etc., with the perfume being releasable from the reaction product. In contrast to a pro-perfume, the reaction product formed the present invention is not used by being included as such in a mixture of perfumes or perfumed product, but instead the perfume and trapping agent are included in a mixture of perfumes or perfumed product where they react spontaneously in situ to form a transient reaction product for subsequent release of the perfume. The invention also provides a perfume composition including the trapping agent.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Quest International Services B.V.Inventors: Anthony Alexander Birkbeck, Olivier Moulin, Christine Nagel, Keith Douglas Perring, Charles Stanley Sell, Kathleen Mary Tuck

Publication number: 20040115091Abstract: A method of reducing malodours in an environment, particularly an enclosed public environment subject to heavy usage and intense pedestrian traffic, comprises applying to the floor of the environment a floor treatment composition comprising a carrier and perfume-containing microcapsules, the microcapsules being rupturable to release the perfume contents. Perfume is only released when the microcapsules are ruptured by mechanical action, e.g. by being walked on, leading to release of perfume in response to use over an extended period. The length of the extended period depends on factors including the level of usage, but even in the environment of heavy usage, the extended period can be several days. Also disclosed is a floor treatment composition including an anti-static agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2003Publication date: June 17, 2004Inventors: Judi Ann Beerling, Shibani Modhindra, Keith Douglas Perring

Patent number: 6568604Abstract: A device for dispensing a liquid in a carrier fluid flow comprises a container (10) for the liquid, into which a pressure flow of carrier fluid is driven. A liquid conduit (20) within the container has an outlet (22) in the path of the carrier fluid flow into the container so that liquid is taken up and is carried with the flow, through an outlet (26) from the container. The container can be formed by a disposable capsule that is replaceably inserted into the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Quest International BVInventors: John Martin Behan, Keith Douglas Perring
