  • Patent number: 6786427
    Abstract: A plug and wickholder is configured to be reliably sealed to the neck of a bottle which contains a liquid to be atomized and to a cap which seals the bottle during storage. The plug and wickholder includes a first generally tubular wall which contains a wick and which fits tightly into a cap sealing wall, and it further includes a generally cylindrical sealing wall which fits tightly into a bottle neck. A second generally vertical tubular wall is interposed between the first generally tubular wall and the generally cylindrical sealing wall.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2004
    Assignee: S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6446880
    Abstract: There is described, in conjunction with a vibrating orifice plate type atomizing dispenser, a refill reservoir which has a wick mounted in a unitary wickholder to provide precise locating of the wick in relation to the vibrating orifice plate in the dispenser. There are also described a novel reservoir overcap and wickholder construction in which mating tubular surfaces on these elements telescope together to ensure a good liquid seal without interfering with the wick. There is also described a novel camming arrangement which enables the overcap to be removed easily from the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 6341732
    Abstract: Liquid to be atomized is supplied from a wick to the underside of a vibrating orifice plate which pumps the liquid up through atomizing orifices in the plate and ejects the liquid from is upper side; and liquid which is pumped up through the orifices in an elevated region of the plate, but which has not been ejected, is directed back down through larger openings in a lower region of the plate. The liquid also flows back onto the wick which places the liquid in capillary communication along the underside of the plate with the atomizing orifices for reputing and ejection.
