  • Patent number: 9925290
    Abstract: A system for delivering volatile substances comprising a housing inside which a volatile substance is housed; a ventilation surface placed in the housing provided with ventilation windows, and a regulating element that can be placed in at least two different positions: a first position of maximum air circulation, and a second position of minimum air circulation; and where the regulating element is further characterized in that in the first position, the regulating element opens an additional ventilation opening, and in the second position, the regulating element closes the of additional ventilation opening. The system for delivering volatile substances permits easy regulation of the circulation of air for increasing or decreasing a volatile substance, for example a fragrance, by simply rotating the regulating element.

  • Patent number: 8983278
    Abstract: A vaporizer device of the type which is connected to the electric mains by a plug (1), incorporating a single container (6) equipped with a body of two or more independent receptacles (8) which hold different liquid fragrances in which respective wicks (2) are immersed and a lid (9) which closes the body (7) and renders the receptacles (8) independent. The lid (9) comes with openings (10) in correspondence with the positions of the wicks (2) for the egress and vaporization of the fragrance by actuation of one or more resistance elements (3), located in opposition to the openings (10), either with use of a manual pushbutton (4) or automatically in accordance with a pre-established program, diffusing the fragrances in a sequential or combined manner during predetermined intervals of time.

  • Patent number: 8857731
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to volatile substance evaporators having a container with wick, and has the object of providing a technique for effectively detecting end-of-life of the volatile substance housed within the container. The volatile substance evaporator is configured for coupling to, and maintaining in a stable position, a container of volatile substance having a wick with a lower end housed within said container and an upper end emerging from the container. The evaporator comprises an infrared light emitter disposed so as to emit a beam of light on said upper end of the wick, in such a manner that a receptor is disposed so as to capture said beam of light reflected by the upper end of the wick.
