  • Patent number: 7400822
    Abstract: An evaporator device for active substances is designed for using active substances established in a paper tablet or the like, or in a tray with a semipermeable membrane, in gel form, comprising a base body with a U-shaped profile inside coupled by insertion to a support provided with two housings and, the former adapted in size and shape to receive within it a tray and the second to receive a tablet, so that both the tray and tablet can be placed in the same support opposite the heating surface of the device. This allows using the device equally with either format of the active substance. The device also includes a safety mechanism comprising teeth that lock in the closed position, preventing or making it difficult for children to displace or extract the support from the casing, that requires pressing inwards on two lateral opposing areas of the casing to open.

  • Patent number: 7382975
    Abstract: Incorporates a device for active substances (3) which has a wick (6) and a first heating resistor (8) for operating the diffuser on normal system. It also has a single button (12) connected through an electronic circuit (10) to an additional second heating resistor (9) located in the same channel and after the first heating resistor (8) in the vicinity of the wick (6). Activation of the button (12) determines the switching on of the second heating resistor (9) and can also activate at the same time a fan (4) or even based on a fan speed (4) increase the same, moving from normal operating mode to boost mode in which a substantial and instant increase in evaporation and diffusion of the active substances is produced.

  • Patent number: 7357561
    Abstract: The device forms a single unit that includes the way by which the evaporation of active substances is achieved, as well the way that allows automatically lighting a small lamp or LED that emits a small light illuminating the container of the active substance to be evaporated. This allows one to see the contents in the dark and, in addition, constituting a light in the dark for the area surrounding the device, with the particularity that the volume of this device does not increase with respect to the devices meant to individually evaporate active substances and emit a light. The design of the device includes a general casing comprising a pinholder body for a plug and the container itself for the active substance, in such a way that the body incorporates a sensor that emits a signal for the automatic activation of the lamp or illumination LED when the light intensity is below a pre-established threshold.

  • Patent number: 7243859
    Abstract: Comprises a vessel (1) containing scented liquid, a wick (2) partially submerged in the liquid, a stopper (3) coupled on the mouth (7) of the vessel (1) and a cap (5) that covers the stopper (3) and has a lower tubular portion (11) provided with two windows (15) and an inner threaded segment that unscrews from a central threaded tubular portion (13) of the stopper (3) as the cap (5) is turned, raising it and gradually revealing the windows (15) so that the wick (2) is exposed to the exterior, facilitating the adjustable evaporation of the scented liquid, the cap (5) being provided with flexible stops (16) that are prolonged externally from the base of its lower tubular portion (11) and as they rise meet a trapezoidal inner peripheral flange (17) defined in a cylindrical body (14) of the stopper (3) to prevent the exit of the cap (5).

  • Patent number: 7209650
    Abstract: A method and a device to evaporate volatile substances such as aromatic substances and/or insecticides, in which the volatile substances are evaporated using electrical heating devices that heat a wick impregnated with the substance to be evaporated. The method and device permits the evaporation of the volatile substance efficiently by optimizing the use of heat energy generated by electrical heating devices. The device comprises a rotating pipe with at least one opening with a portion of wick inserted in this pipe and depending on the position of this pipe relative to the heating elements, the amount of heat flow transmitted to the wick is regulated as well as, consequently, the degree of evaporation of the volatile substance.
