Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing, evaporating or evaporating an active substance from a carrier element according to the preamble of the main claim and a piece of jewelry according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • Such an evaporation device is known, for example, from the applicant's international patent publication WO 97/28830 and, in its concrete implementation as an insecticide evaporation device, describes a porous wick as a carrier element for liquid active substance, which is used to transport the insecticide from a storage container to one end of the wick serves heating unit and the active ingredient evaporated by the heating then exits the end of the wick.
  • this technology is also disadvantageous, because in addition to the poorly controllable evaporation properties, this technology in particular has the problem that a used-up (ie, emptied of the active substance) body is not readily recognizable. The user is therefore dependent on exchanging the active substance body as a function of time, with the effect that either an already empty body is heated for a certain amount of time and is thus operated ineffectively, or an incompletely emptied body with all the disadvantageous consequences for Efficiency and pollution of the waste is disposed of.

  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a generic device for evaporating or evaporating an active substance from a carrier element in such a way that improved, ie more uniform discharge (evaporation or evaporation) rates can be achieved on the one hand and on the other hand however, it can be precisely recognized or ascertained when the carrier element has fallen below a critical active substance content and is therefore to be replaced.
  • the object is achieved by the device with the features of the main claim and the piece of jewelry with the features of the independent claim 9.
  • a plastic that can be changed in volume depending on the amount of active ingredient contained is used for the carrier element, so that the external dimension of the body according to the invention, e.g. whose outer diameter can serve as an indicator of how much active ingredient is currently stored (absorbed) in the carrier element.
  • a mechanical scanning or actuator of the or by the external dimension is triggered by means of the display means, a filling quantity determination of the carrier element can be carried out in a simple and elegant manner, at least that threshold value of the filling quantity which corresponds to the external dimension associated with it corresponds to the current extent of the carrier element.
  • heating device in the context of the invention by means of electrical heating means, with an otherwise known PTC, for example for the purpose of simple temperature stabilization. Offers heating as it is usually is also known from the generic state of the art.

  • an electrical heating unit on the circumference to cooperate with a conically tapering tube, which therefore has a prescribed outlet opening on its narrow side, to heat the carrier element, which is still filled with active ingredient, on the circumference inside the tube, the outer diameter then being sufficient after the active ingredient has evaporated or evaporated (the outer dimension) of the carrier element has shrunk until it as a whole falls out of the tapered end and so far indicates an empty or used state.
  • a preferably tracked carrier element would then automatically and without further mechanical conveyance as a purely gravity-operated means of transport take the place of the used carrier element and in turn could be operated until it was emptied.
  • an evaporation or evaporation device can thus be realized in an extremely simple and elegant manner, which combines simplicity in manufacture, in particular suitability for large-scale production of the carrier elements and simple disposal, with reliable, economical operation and completely correct emptying.
  • the predetermined external geometry of the carrier element is arbitrary; while suitable injection moldable spherical or cylindrical shapes seem preferred, it is particularly advisable to provide elongated elements in the form of cuboids, polygons or rods.

  • the present invention is also not limited to the implementation of the display means as a pure outlet opening.
  • An analog display variant would be conceivable, for example, in which the carrier element is elongated, for example in the form of a wire or thread, and the length of the wire or thread is evaluated as an effective external dimension in the sense of the invention for indicating the filling content of the element, for example by means of an end attached and moved by a change in length indicator element.
  • the fragrance carrier is held here in a piece of jewelry, which is then suitably heated by body heat, for example in the case of a pendant for a necklace, a ring or a brooch as a piece of jewelry.
  • the fill level dependency of the au The outer dimension of the fragrance carrier is used in order to infer the current filling state of the fragrance carrier with regard to the fragrance used by viewing through the outlet, whereby, for example, when a critical outer dimension (e.g. predetermined diameter of a sphere as the fragrance carrier) is reached, a used (emptied) filling state closed and the fragrance carrier can be replaced accordingly.
  • a critical outer dimension e.g. predetermined diameter of a sphere as the fragrance carrier
  • the outlet of the piece of jewelry body in different ways. Since the fragrance typically leaves the jewelry body in gaseous form, the outlet should therefore first be permeable to the gaseous fragrance; it should also be possible to observe at least the change in the external dimensions through the use of the fragrance carrier made of volume-changing material.
  • the outlet can consist of an opening, but can also be implemented in a network or lattice shape, as provided for in the development, and can have a possibility (for example by means of actuators or pushing means) to change an effective opening of the outlet and thus dispense or Set evaporation rates of the fragrance (this idea also applies analogously to the first embodiment of the invention according to the main claim as a favorable further development.
  • the jewelry body For introducing or replacing the fragrance carrier, it has been found to be preferable to design the jewelry body in such a way that it is suitably opened or re-opened for access to the receptacle for the fragrance carrier. can subsequently be closed again, for example by means of a folding mechanism or the like.
