The device for evaporating volatile substances comprises a container () housing a liquid with the volatile substances, and wick () in contact with said liquid and extending outside said container (), wherein the device also comprises a porous element () placed inside the container () that is impregnated with said liquid with the volatile substances. The presence of the porous element inside the container permits to place the evaporation device according to the present invention in any suitable position, preventing the leakage of the liquid and still allowing its correct performance.

Device for evaporating volatile substances

A removable signaling device of the exhaustion of a dispenser/diffuser of a liquid active substance contained in a container of the dispenser/diffuser, wherein the device consists of a central body from which project two opposite lateral arms, which surround at least part of the dispenser/diffuser, and an appendix which extends alongside the container and carries a self-powered liquid sensor facing the container.

Removable signaling device of the exhaustion of a dispenser/diffuser of liquid active substances

A multilayer structure () for volatile substances diffusers includes a semi-permeable layer () that can be in contact with the volatile substances and a barrier layer () 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 () placed between the barrier layer () and the semi-permeable layer (), which permits the separation of the barrier layer () from the semi-permeable layer () when the barrier layer () is removed from the multilayer structure (). 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.

Multilayer structure for diffusion of volatile substances

Hand dispenser for cleaning, disinfectant and/or perfuming liquid products, of the type including a container having a dispensing button which operates a piston of a piston pump for dispensing liquid product from a nozzle, and a seat for a refill including a bottle containing a sprayable liquid formulation, the piston pump being indifferently housed in the container or in the refill. The container includes a cover hinged on the container, for closing the seat of the refill, and a mechanical coupling between the cover and the dispensing button, which causes the dispensing button to raise beyond its ordinary rest position, when the cover is opened, and to lower to its ordinary rest position, when the cover is closed.

Hand dispenser for liquid products

Disclosed is a diffuser of a volatile liquid substance of the type including a container of the volatile liquid substance, closed by at least one membrane permeable to the vapours of the volatile liquid substance, wherein the container is at least partly flexible and contains a plurality of capsules filled with the volatile liquid substance and made of a pressure-breakable plastic material impermeable to liquid and vapour. The permeable membrane is in direct contact with the external environment.

Diffuser of volatile liquid substances equipped with a vapor permeable membrane, activated at the time of use

A device for diffusion of volatile substances that includes a container for containing volatile substances, including the container, an aperture defining a sealing area, and a multilayer structure placed on the aperture. The multilayer structure includes a microporous membrane through which the volatile substances are diffused and a barrier layer that is removed before a first use. The multilayer structure also includes a sealing portion in contact with the sealing area. A device with a microporous membrane where the porosity of the membrane at the portion of the sealing area has been substantially reduced or eliminated to stop liquid transportation.

Device for diffusion of volatile substances

An air freshener for vehicles includes a main body for holding a container for volatile substances and a foldable clip that may be placed in a substantially perpendicular position with respect to the main body. The foldable clip is rotatable with respect to the main body. The clip may always be connected with the main body, so that it is sold with it occupying a reduced space in the package. The clip may be rotated to be adapted to any kind of ventilation grids.

Air freshener for vehicles

Diffuser of an active liquid agent, for the treatment of a fluid environment, be it at the gaseous or liquid state, of the type including a container () of the active agent, closed by grid element apt to maintain in position the active agent and to allow the emanation of fluids of the same, the grid element being covered by a barrier film, peelable at the time of the first use to make operative the grid element, wherein the container () is closed by a single multilayer film () including at least one external barrier layer () and at least another inner sealing layer () apt to maintain in position the active agent and to form the grid element, at the time of the first use of the container, following the simultaneous removal of the barrier film and of predefined portions of the sealing layer.

Diffuser of active agents such as insecticides, perfumes, detergents or disinfectants, and manufacturing process thereof

An apparatus for delivering a volatile material in a continuous manner is disclosed. The apparatus includes a delivery engine having a reservoir for containing a volatile material; a rupturable substrate secured to the reservoir; a rupture element positioned adjacent to the rupturable substrate; and a breathable membrane enclosing the reservoir, rupturable substrate and rupture element.

Apparatus for delivering a volatile material

A method of manufacturing a volatile composition dispenser is disclosed. A container is positioned on a pallet, wherein the container has a bottom wall and side walls extending circumferentially around the bottom wall to define a reservoir and wherein the side walls have a circumferential inner edge defining a reservoir opening. The pallet is moved to a filling station in fluid communication with a tank containing a perfume composition. The perfume composition is dispensed into the exposed reservoir. A vapor impermeable substrate is attached to the planar surface of the container containing the dispensed perfume composition.

Volatile composition dispenser

A fragrance diffuser device for motor vehicle interiors, of the type including an elongated support body, a refill of a fragrance-impregnated plastic material fixed to a fastening base of the support body, and an elastic clamp to hook the diffuser onto a motor vehicle ventilation system grid. The fastening base consists of a rib longitudinally extending for at least part of the support body length and retaining by friction the refill of a fragrance-impregnated plastic material which at least partially surrounds the rib.

Fragrance diffuser device with an end-of-life indicator, for use onto motor vehicle ventilation grids

Air freshener

A volatile composition dispenser including a container having a bottom wall and side walls extending circumferentially around the bottom wall to define a reservoir and a perfume composition contained in the container. The side walls have a circumferential inner edge defining a reservoir opening. A reservoir opening plane extends across the reservoir opening and intersects the circumferential inner edge. There is a first depth and a second depth between the bottom wall and the reservoir opening plane, wherein Dis longer than D

A volatile substance dispensing device () and method of fabrication thereof based on a container () sealed by a membrane layer () with at least one perimetral channel () which prevents lateral diffusion of the volatile substance during storage. The at least one perimetral channel () is at least partially filled with blocking means such as glue () or a protrusion () of a separation layer () produced by applying heat welding during fixation to the container (). The dispensing device () further comprises a removable barrier layer () on top of the separation layer ().

Volatile substance dispensing device and fabrication method thereof

An apparatus for delivering a volatile material in a continuous manner is disclosed. The apparatus includes a delivery engine having a reservoir for containing a volatile material; a rupturable substrate secured to the reservoir; a rupture element positioned adjacent to the rupturable substrate; and a breathable membrane enclosing the reservoir, rupturable substrate and rupture element. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a housing having a notch for compressing the rupture element and breaching the rupturable substrate as it is inserted into the housing.
