Publication number: 20230012383Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed that includes a pump having a pump chamber that receives a fluid, a pulsation dampener, and a discharge conduit. The pulsation dampener has a dampener housing with an interior volume and a dampener housing opening. A spring biased movable piston is located in the interior volume of the pulsation dampener and defines a variable volume headspace between the piston and the dampener housing opening. The discharge conduit provides fluid communication between each of an outlet of the pump chamber, the dampener housing opening, and a nozzle such that, when the pump is activated, at least a portion of fluid from the outlet of the pump chamber flows within the discharge conduit to the dampener housing opening. The dispenser is configured to, when the pump is activated, emit a substantially constant stream of fluid from the nozzle for at least one second.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Jerome A.

Publication number: 20190024954Abstract: A heat exchange system operating on a vapor compression cycle is capable of operating in both an air conditioning mode and a heat pump mode. The heat exchange system can include a parallel flow heat exchanger that operates as a condenser in one mode and as an evaporator in the other mode. The heat exchanger can include a first, second, and third fluid manifold, with fluid conduits connecting the first and second fluid manifolds, and with additional fluid conduits connecting the second and third fluid manifolds. The heat exchanger can be configured to transfer heat between a working fluid traveling through the fluid conduits and another fluid, such as an air flow passing over the fluid conduits.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: Jerome Matter, Gregory Kohler

Patent number: 9278365Abstract: A method of dispensing a fragrance having at least one aroma chemical includes the step of providing a frame adapted to be attached to a dispenser for dispensing fluids and a cartridge including a volatile material containing a fragrance comprising at least one aroma chemical, wherein the cartridge is adapted for attachment to the frame. The method of dispensing further includes the steps of nebulizing water to create nebulized water particles, directing the nebulized water particles at the cartridge, and entraining volatile material from the cartridge in at least some of the nebulized water particles upon collision with the cartridge to create volatile material-infused water particles.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Banco, Maciej K. Tasz, Jerome A. Matter

Patent number: 9155813Abstract: A dispensing system includes a refill having a reservoir for containing a volatile material. A permeable membrane is disposed over the reservoir and allows the volatile material to be released therethrough. The dispensing system also includes a housing adapted to retain the refill and a manual drive mechanism, which is in communication with the refill. Actuation of the manual drive mechanism causes the refill to rotate more than 180° about a longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Nathan R. Westphal, Jerome A. Matter, Deliang Shi, Jonathan N. Mandell
