  • Patent number: 11071802
    Abstract: The device for diffusing volatile substances, comprising a casing (1) wherein at least two respective volatile substance containers (2) are housed, said containers (2) being moveable relative to said casing (1) between at least one first position, where one of the containers (2) is exposed to the environment for diffusing its volatile substances, and a second position, where another container (2) is exposed to the environment, and characterised in that between said casing (1) and the container or containers (2) unexposed to the environment a space (3) is defined, which allows the diffusion of volatile substances from the unexposed container or containers (2) to a lesser extent than the container (2) exposed to the environment. It enables performance to be improved due to the fact that two or more fragrances in two or more containers contribute to the final performance and intensity.

  • 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.
