  • APPARATUS FOR TRANSMISSION OF MULTIPLE DISTINCT ODORS
    Publication number: 20250242073
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a belt made of a continuous band having a plurality of scent reservoirs attached thereto. The apparatus includes a belt motor configured and positioned to drive and stop the belt. A heater block is positioned to heat one of the scent reservoirs having a first scent, after the motor positions the belt to bring one of the plurality of scent reservoirs into proximity to the heater block. A fan is positioned to blow air past the heated one of the plurality of scent reservoirs and out of the apparatus, presenting the scent to a user. The belt may then be moved to bring another scent reservoir into proximity to the heater block, this latter scent reservoir having a different scent, and the process may repeat. A series of scents may be presented to a user in this manner.
