  • Publication number: 20220305223
    Abstract: A nasal delivery system having a device that delivers a mist containing a pharmaceutical agent for delivery to a nasal cavity. The pharmaceutical agent in a liquid is in a micronized form with a particle size less than 5-microns that permeates a plurality of nasal membranes in a nasal cavity, crossing the blood brain barrier and entering the brain through cranial nerves. A route of administration of micronized liquid containing cannabinoids and terpenes using the device temporarily permeate the olfactory membranes to the olfactory and trigeminal nerves as well as permeate vascular rich olfactory pathway, thereby increasing diffusion of the therapeutic compounds into the cells that pass through the blood brain barrier for immediate effect, allowing inhalation while avoiding lung involvement. The device is manually controlled or preferably by an app on a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 4761437
    Abstract: A fragrance chip which incorporates a substantial quantity of liquid fragrance material is prepared by absorbing liquid fragrance material on ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, melting and shaping the copolymer to produce a solid fragrance chip having the desired shape. Polyolefins and other polymeric materials may be included to achieve the desired physical and fragrance release characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4739778
    Abstract: A sampler applicator for a product having a smearable surface, such as lipstick, comprising a thin planar elongated plastic element molded to provide a handle segment and a pod area. The pod is formed out of the plane of the element and holds a small sample of the product, and is covered by a peelable adhesive sheet which may extend over the entire face of the element. The pod may be at least partially surrounded by a molded U-shaped wall of thinner material and also extending out of the element plane beyond the pod to enable the pod with the sample to be popped up above the plane of the element by the application of finger pressure to the back of the pod, or by bending of the element about an axis extending through the pod.
