  • Patent number: 11071802
    Abstract: The device for diffusing volatile substances, comprising a casing (1) wherein at least two respective volatile substance containers (2) are housed, said containers (2) being moveable relative to said casing (1) between at least one first position, where one of the containers (2) is exposed to the environment for diffusing its volatile substances, and a second position, where another container (2) is exposed to the environment, and characterised in that between said casing (1) and the container or containers (2) unexposed to the environment a space (3) is defined, which allows the diffusion of volatile substances from the unexposed container or containers (2) to a lesser extent than the container (2) exposed to the environment. It enables performance to be improved due to the fact that two or more fragrances in two or more containers contribute to the final performance and intensity.

  • Patent number: 10940227
    Abstract: The invention relates to an evaporation device for evaporating volatile substances, comprising a container (1) housing a liquid (8) containing the volatile substances, an outlet (2) through which the volatile substances exit and a hole (9) for equalizing the pressure between the inside and the outside of the container, and characterized in that it also comprises a membrane (6) placed between the container (1) and the hole (9), said membrane (6) being leak-tight with respect to said liquid (8) and porous with respect to the gases. This membrane prevents the liquid from accidentally spilling and furthermore solves the issue of balancing pressures inside the container, keeping the rate of evaporation constant until running out of the volatile substances.
