Publication number: 20130017123Abstract: Air freshener products and methods for freshening air are disclosed. In some embodiments, the air freshening product may include a container for storing an air freshening composition that may contain compressed gas such as compressed air, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, inert gases, or carbon dioxide. When the container is completely filled with propellant and air freshening composition, the air freshening composition may be released from the container at a flow rate of from about 0.8 grams/second to about 1.5 grams/second, wherein the mean particle size of the released spray droplets is from about 10 microns to about 100 microns. The method of freshening air, in certain embodiments, provides improved delivery of an air freshening composition using a non-hydrocarbon propellant. If malodor counteractants are used, the method may also provide a reduction in malodors.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Hirotaka UCHIYAMA, Christopher Eugene Bates, Eric Laurence Wagnon, Cynthia Jean McCann, Carl-Eric Kaiser, Steven Louis Diersing

Patent number: 7832655Abstract: A delivery system and methods for generating droplets of liquid active materials, such as a perfume, air freshener, insecticide formulation, and volatile materials, to the atmosphere by means of a electromechanical transducer. The electromechanical transducer employs a first period of activation and a second period of deactivation to increase the distribution of volatile materials contained within the liquid active materials to the atmosphere and reduce the hedonic habituation of the user. The electromechanical transducer is configured to improve flow rate and decrease deposition of the droplets on to nearby surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Fernando Ray Tollens, Steven Louis Diersing, John Philip Hecht, Steven James Schroeck, William Paul Mahoney, III
