In one aspect, a system for recharging a refrigeration system of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a refrigerant delivery device configured to removably couple to a recharge port of the refrigeration system. The refrigerant delivery device comprises a controller, a refrigerant container, and at least one sensor. The controller is configured to communicatively couple with User Equipment (UE) of a user over a communication channel. The refrigerant container stores a refrigerant. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more parameters of the refrigeration system. The controller is configured to transmit, via the communication channel, the one or more parameters of the refrigeration system to the UE, receive, via the communication channel, one or more commands from the UE to perform a recharge process for the refrigeration system, and selectively deliver the refrigerant to the refrigeration system in response to the one or more commands.

User-guided refrigerant recharge for vehicles

Lighting device

A product applicator assembly includes a handle, an applicator, and a product dispensing assembly. The product dispensing assembly is disposed at least in part within the handle and stores a liquid product within a product container. A puncturing device within the product dispensing assembly has a base and a puncture element extending from the base toward the product container. The puncturing device further includes a mating member extending from the base and secured to the product container. The puncture element facilitates rupturing the product container to release a portion of the liquid product into the applicator.

Product applicator assembly

A wick-based diffuser is configured for diffusing a liquid volatile substance composition into an air flow path extending through the diffuser to disseminate the volatile substance composition throughout a surrounding volume (e.g., a vehicle interior). Diffusers may comprise a body defining a hollow interior and having an air flow path extending therethough; a reservoir; a wick extending from the reservoir and into the hollow interior of the body; and a closure mechanism configured to selectably isolate the wick and the reservoir from the air flow path extending through the body. Wick-based diffusers may be mounted to a support device via a low-friction mounting mechanism located above a center of gravity of the diffuser, such that the diffuser self-aligns in an upright orientation under the influence of gravity.

Wick-based volatile substance diffuser

An example embodiment of a volatile substance diffuser comprises a housing defining a housing axis; and a component carrying a volatile substance. The component defines an air passageway there through. The component is secured to an inner surface of the housing. The air passageway defines an air passageway axis and the housing axis and the air passageway axis are approximately parallel. In an example embodiment, the volatile substance diffuser further comprises a clip secured to the housing and configured to removably secure the volatile substance diffuser to a slat of an air vent (e.g., an automobile air vent, building air vent, and/or the like).

Hollow volatile substance diffuser

Air freshener

In an example embodiment, a product applicator assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a housing having a porous portion. The housing defines a hollow interior bounded at least in part by the porous portion. The assembly further comprises a sealed product container positioned within the hollow interior. The product container contains a spreadable product therein. The housing is at least partially compressible. At least a portion of the housing causes the sealed product container to burst and to release at least a portion of the spreadable product into the porous portion of the housing.

Example embodiments provide a modular air freshener system. The modular air freshener system comprises a plurality of different carriers and at least one scent device. The scent device is separately and removably carriable by each of the plurality of different carriers. At least one of the different carriers is carriable by another one of the plurality of different carriers. The each of the carriers may be passive, active and self-powered, or active and externally-powered.

Modular air freshener system

A vent stick air freshener has a pair of vent rods extending rearwardly from an annular head with a hollow therein, an open front end and an open rear end defining an air tunnel. At least one body is carried by at least one of the pair of vent rods. An insert is at least partially received in the hollow of the annular head. A space is defined between the insert and the annular head. The at least one body or the insert or both has a desired scent material interspersed therein and diffusible out over time.
