Patent number: 11534521Abstract: A volatile substance dispensing device (101) and method of fabrication thereof based on a container (201) sealed by a membrane layer (220) with at least one perimetral channel (103) which prevents lateral diffusion of the volatile substance during storage. The at least one perimetral channel (103) is at least partially filled with blocking means such as glue (303) or a protrusion (302) of a separation layer (230) produced by applying heat welding during fixation to the container (201). The dispensing device (101) further comprises a removable barrier layer (240) on top of the separation layer (230).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: ZOBELE HOLDING S.P.AInventors: Livio Sordo, Cedric Morhain, Stefano Deflorian

Publication number: 20200397938Abstract: A device for diffusion of volatile substances that includes a container for containing volatile substances, including the container, an aperture defining a sealing area, and a multilayer structure placed on the aperture. The multilayer structure includes a microporous membrane through which the volatile substances are diffused and a barrier layer that is removed before a first use. The multilayer structure also includes a sealing portion in contact with the sealing area. A device with a microporous membrane where the porosity of the membrane at the portion of the sealing area has been substantially reduced or eliminated to stop liquid transportation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2018Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Livio SORDO, Cedric MORHAIN, Stefano DEFLORIAN

Patent number: 9969542Abstract: The container comprises a chamber closed by a flexible cover, and it is characterized in that said flexible cover defines a weakened area forming a seal between the chamber and the flexible cover, and in that the container comprises bending means for bending this weakened area so that the flexible cover separates from the chamber at the weakened area, opening said chamber. The container has the main advantage that it can be opened easily, just acting on the bending means.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: ZOBELE HOLDING SPAInventors: Stefano Deflorian, Walter Sordo, Livio Sordo, Cedric Morhain

Patent number: 9327043Abstract: A device for delivering a volatile fluid in a continuous manner, over a period of time and without leakage, is disclosed. The device includes a flexible sheet and a semi-rigid sheet that are sealed along their edges to form a closed pocket or reservoir for containing a volatile fluid. The semi-rigid sheet is sealed on a first side to a flexible sheet and sealed on a second side to a vapor permeable membrane. The semi-rigid sheet contains a volatile fluid in the reservoir during storage, preventing contact of the volatile fluid with the vapor permeable membrane before the device is activated. The semi-rigid sheet has a differential score to guide the bounds of an opening that is formed upon activation. Once activated, the vapor permeable membrane provides continuous emission of a volatile fluid from the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Jason John Olchovy, Stefano Deflorian, Livio Sordo Sicheri, Walter Sordo, Ian Roderick Jaye

Patent number: 9327044Abstract: A method for delivering a volatile fluid in a continuous manner, over a period of time and without leakage, to the atmosphere is disclosed. The method includes activating a device by breaching a semi-rigid sheet to release volatile fluid to the atmosphere. The device includes a flexible sheet and a semi-rigid sheet that are sealed along their edges to form a closed pocket or reservoir for containing a volatile fluid. The semi-rigid sheet is sealed on a first side to a flexible sheet and sealed on a second side to a vapor permeable membrane. The semi-rigid sheet contains a volatile fluid in the reservoir during storage, preventing contact of the volatile fluid with the vapor permeable membrane before the device is activated. The semi-rigid sheet has a differential score to guide the bounds of an opening that is formed upon activation.

Publication number: 20100320239Abstract: The present invention refers to an automatic dispenser for periodically spraying an amount of liquid from two aerosol containers. (A, B) Preferably the two aerosol containers (A. B) contain liquid of different nature, such as different perfume or active substance composition, so that the same device is capable of dispensing alternatively two or more different substances.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2007Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: ZOBELE HOLDING S.P.A.Inventors: Livio Sordo, Stefano Baldessari, Joan Gusi Hidalgo
