  • Patent number: 10561755
    Abstract: There is a volatile composition dispenser comprising: a housing comprising a rear frame having a frame opening a push button movably disposed within the frame opening; and a cartridge aligned with the push button, the cartridge comprising a container having an orifice and containing a volatile composition, a rupturable substrate sealably attached to and covering the orifice, and rupture elements adjacent the rupturable substrate; and a resilient member aligned with the push button and the rupture elements wherein upon receiving a pressure on the push button, said resilient member moves the rupture elements into a first position in which the rupture elements engage with the rupturable substrate and wherein upon removing the pressure from the push button, said resilient member exerts a force on the push button and moves the rupture elements into a second position in which the rupture elements are not engaged with the rupturable substrate.

  • Publication number: 20190337265
    Abstract: A multilayer structure (1) for volatile substances diffusers includes a semi-permeable layer (2) that can be in contact with the volatile substances and a barrier layer (3) to prevent the diffusion of the volatile substances before removal of the barrier layer from the multilayer structure. The multilayer structure also comprises a tear layer (4) placed between the barrier layer (3) and the semi-permeable layer (2), which permits the separation of the barrier layer (3) from the semi-permeable layer (2) when the barrier layer (3) is removed from the multilayer structure (1). The tear layer provides a suitable interface strength between the barrier layer and the semi-permeable layer and allows for the secure and easy removal of the barrier layer from the semi-permeable layer.
