Definitions
- top notes typically evaporate first, followed by middle notes and then base notes (based on different volatility levels). In this way, conventional wicking systems over time often fail to provide full fragrances with the full range of combined notes.
- the system is a volatile substance delivery system.
- An embodiment of the volatile substance delivery system includes a volatile substance container, and outlet, and a manual screw pump.
- the volatile substance container contains the volatile substance.
- the outlet delivers a volume of the volatile substance from the volatile substance container to an ambient environment.
- the manual screw pump increases pressure within the volatile substance container and promotes the delivery of the volatile substance from the volatile substance container.
- Other embodiments of the system are also described.
- the method for operating a volatile substance delivery system includes twisting a manual screw pump.
- the method also includes compressing fluid within a volatile substance container in response to twisting the manual screw pump.
- the volatile substance container contains a volatile substance.
- the method also includes delivering a volume of the volatile substance from and outlet of the volatile substance container to an ambient environment in response to compressing the fluid within the volatile substance container.

- the volatile substance refers to any fluid which is volatile such that it diffuses, evaporates, or otherwise changes in characteristics over time in certain environments.
- the volatile substance may be a fragrance.
- Other embodiments may utilize other types of volatile substances. References to embodiments which utilize a fragrance are set forth as examples, but are not limiting to embodiments of the delivery system, which may deliver any of a variety of volatile substances.
- the on-demand delivery of a fragrance or other volatile substance may be used to create an expected ambiance or environment for a user.
- a user may utilize fragrance to optimize the user's sleeping environment and to enhance the user's bedtime routine.
- a user may utilize fragrance to enhance the user's vehicle environment and driving routine. Examples of other activities that may benefit from the use of fragrances include, but are not limited to, sleeping, studying, working, eating, and watching television.
- Drop delivery systems may be controlled more easily than conventional systems. Also, drop delivery systems can maintain a full or broader range of notes over a longer period of time, if the fragrance is not subjected to evaporation or other degrading environmental conditions. This allows each drop of the fragrance to deliver a mix of top, middle, and base notes throughout the operating lifecycle of a fragrance volume within a fragrance delivery system.
- Embodiments of a volatile substance delivery system incorporate a volatile substance container to contain the volatile substance.
- the system also includes an outlet to deliver a volume of the volatile substance from the volatile substance container to an ambient environment.
- the outlet may be directly from the volatile substance container or, in other embodiments, from a downstream container or channel.
- the system also includes a manual screw pump to increase pressure within the volatile substance container and promote the delivery of the volatile substance from the volatile substance container.
- the delivery system may include a combination of one or more additional components such as an emanator, a fan, a heat source for heating air, a heat source for heating the fragrance, and so forth. Other embodiments may include additional components.
- a primary advantage of some embodiments described herein includes the ability to deliver the full depth of the fragrance, as opposed to just the high notes.
- the system provides an immediate volume of fragrance that is then distributed into the ambient environment, to optimize an environment for a given activity.
- the volume of fragrance delivered is not subject to environmental conditions.
- Fig. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a sealed manual fragrance delivery system 100.
- the illustrated fragrance delivery system 100 includes a manual screw pump 102, a fragrance container 104, an outlet 106, a piston plunger 108, and an emanator 110.
- the illustrated fragrance delivery system 100 includes certain components to achieve specific functionality, other embodiments of the pressurized chamber fragrance delivery system 100 may include fewer or more components to achieve similar or different functionality.
- the manual screw pump 102 is used to pressurize the fragrance container 104 containing the fragrance or other volatile substance. Any type of manual screw pump may be implemented.
- the manual screw pump may have an exposed surface for engagement by a user's hand to manually turn the screw pump.
- the manual screw pump may have a mechanical tool engagement surface for engagement of a mechanical tool such as a screwdriver or other hand tool to manually turn the screw pump.
- the manual screw pump may have either infinite or discrete turning positions. Infinite turning positions refer to the ability to rotate the manual screw pump 102 to any angle, without limitation to specific angles.
- discrete turning positions refer to rotational steps, or increments, at which the manual screw pump 102 engages.
- an embodiment of the manual screw pump 102 may have a fixed number of rotational positions (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, etc.) to which the piston plunger 108 will rotate within a single full rotation of the manual screw pump 102. Due to the helical arrangement of the screw threads, each fixed position corresponds to a unique fixed translational position of the piston plunger 108 relative to the outlet 106. Similarly, each fixed position also corresponds to a unique fixed volume of the fragrance container 104, and fixed incremental changes in that volume.
- the piston plunger 108 is sealed to separate the threaded sidewalls from the portion of the fragrance container 104 that contains the fragrance or other volatile substance.
- the piston plunger 108 also seals the fragrance portion of the fragrance container 104 so that it can be pressurized, at least temporarily.
- Pressurizing the fragrance container 104 causes the fragrance to be expelled from the fragrance container 104 through the outlet 106 to the emanator 110.
- the outlet may or may not include a valve or other control mechanism to control when the pressurized fragrance is released from the fragrance container 104. Once released and delivered to the emanator 110, the fragrance can evaporate into the ambient environment from the emanator 110. In further embodiments, additional mechanical and/or thermal assistance may be provided to accelerate evaporation of the fragrance from the emanator 110.
- emanator materials include, but are not limited to, porous polymers, simple cellular papers or films.
- embodiments of the emanator 110 have a balance of absorption, wicking, and emanation properties that allow the emanator 110 to collect, distribute, and release the fragrance over time.
- the emanator 110 at least partially or fully wraps around the fragrance container 104.
- the emanator 112 includes a porous material to collect, wick, and release the fragrance.
- the emanator 112 may or may not have its own structural integrity to maintain a specific shape while mounted within the fragrance delivery system.
- the emanator material is applied to, or supported by, another support structure such as a cage or frame made of any suitable material.
- Fig. 2 illustrates another embodiment of a sealed manual fragrance delivery system 120 which includes a separate emanator 122. In contrast to the emanator 110 of Fig. 1, the emanator 122 of Fig. 2 is separated from the rest of the delivery system assembly.
- the emanator 122 does not wrap around parts of the fragrance container 104, and there is a distance of separation between the outlet 106 and the nearest surface of the emanator 122.
- the delivery system 120 may be oriented to facilitate dropping the emitted fragrance from the outlet 106 to the emanator 122.
- the outlet 106 includes a valve or other control mechanism to control how much of the pressurized fragrance is released from the fragrance container 104 at a single time.
- the valve or other control mechanism may allow pressure to build up within the fragrance container 102 until a threshold pressure has been reached, at which point the valve or other control mechanism may release a fixed volume of the fragrance is released.
- the valve or other control mechanism may release a variable volume of the fragrance until the pressure within the fragrance container 102 falls below a lower threshold pressure.
- the pressure of the fragrance may facilitate projecting or spraying the fragrance onto the emanator.
- this pressurized transfer of the fragrance may facilitate a variety of orientations of the delivery system 102, instead of relying solely on gravity fed transfer.
- Fig. 3 illustrates another embodiment of a sealed manual fragrance delivery system 130 which includes a separate fragrance container 132.
- the piston plunger 108 is used to pressurize an intermediate container 134 of inert gas or liquid, which transfers through a channel to the separate fragrance container 132.
- the fragrance is emitted from the fragrance container 132 to an emanator (not shown) or directly into the ambient environment. If an emanator is used, the emanator may be wrapped around part of all of the separate fragrance container 132, or located remotely from the separate fragrance container 132.
- the delivery system 130 may include a valve or other control mechanism within the transfer channel between the intermediate container 134 and the separate fragrance container 132.
- the valve or other control mechanism may control the timing and/or volume and/or pressure of the transfer from the intermediate container 134 to the separate fragrance container 132.
