Definitions
- Capsule for aromatherapy composition and diffusion device for the use of such a capsule
- the field of the invention is that of the design and manufacture of aerial diffusion devices of an aromatherapy composition, as well as containers of said aromatherapy compositions.
- the invention relates to an air diffusion device and a disposable capsule comprising an aromatherapy composition, intended for use in the air diffusion device.
- devices are known for air diffusion of an aromatherapy composition comprising water and essential oils.
- Such a device may include a base having a receptacle into which the user must pour water as well as a few drops of essential oils.
- a misting system allows air droplets of water loaded with essential oils to be suspended in the air.
- Such manipulation allows the user to a certain extent to adjust the aerial diffusion of the aromatherapy composition (choice of essential oils, mixtures of oils, etc.), but nevertheless requires a certain knowledge of essential oils , as well as a certain preparation time to prepare the diffusion device.
- disposable capsules for example single dose capsules
- single dose capsules is particularly easy to implement for users, whether experienced or novice.
- These disposable capsules can take many forms and form a reservoir of essential oils.
- disposable capsules require the use of an additional water tank.
- This additional tank takes the form of a tank coupled to the machine.
- the tank must of course be filled periodically.
- the use of such a water tank nevertheless complicates the use of the diffusion device which is supposed to be simple due to the use of a capsule.
- Such a capsule is complementary to a diffusion device designed not to require the use of a reserve of water to be filled. Diffusion of essential oils is carried out at low temperature and the capsule forms a consumable sufficient in itself.
- This last capsule which is particularly simple to use, does not, however, provide the same experience as that allowed by diffusers of essential oils of classic design.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art. More specifically, the invention aims to provide a disposable capsule containing all the components of an aromatherapy composition, which is simple to use while allowing optimized diffusion into the air of the aromatherapy composition.
- the invention also aims to provide such a capsule which does not require the use of other elements, such as an additional water tank of a diffusion device, needing to be filled to carry out the aerial broadcast.
- the invention also aims to provide an aerial diffusion device of an aromatherapy composition which allows the use of disposable capsules according to the invention, without risk and very simply for the user.
- a disposable capsules for aerial diffusion of an aromatherapy composition formed from a mixture of essential oil and of water, by means of an air diffusion device comprising a shell, the shell having at least a first reservoir containing an essential oil, characterized in that the shell comprises a second reservoir containing water, the first tank and the second tank being hermetically isolated from each other, and in that it comprises a cover covering the shell, the first tank and the second tank each being defined between the shell and the cover.
- the lid allows in particular to facilitate the filling of the capsule prior to its marketing.
- the shell can be filled in each of its product tanks, that is to say essential oil and water, then moved to a new station in which the seal is applied to the shell to make hermetic the first tank relative to the second tank.
- the filling of the disposable capsule can be carried out flat.
- Such a composition of the disposable capsule makes the latter particularly light.
- the disposable capsule comprises:
- the wells can be dimensioned so that only a small part of the liquid to be sampled is there, which avoids excessive pressure and therefore a risk of product leakage.
- the second sampling well extends below the second reservoir in the direction of the first reservoir, in a position of use of the disposable capsule, and, the second reservoir has a lower wall inclined relative to to the second sampling well, to guide the water from the second reservoir to the second sampling well.
- the geometries of the second reservoir and the second sampling well allow the water contained in the second reservoir to be directed to the second sampling well, so as to facilitate its withdrawal.
- the invention also relates to an aerial diffusion device of an aromatherapy composition, comprising:
- the device also comprises:
- This aerial diffusion device allows the use of capsules as described above without the latter being subjected to or having to respond to a voltage of marketing authorization.
- this device allows that, before the diffusion of the aromatherapy composition, the water and the oil are withdrawn to be mixed and then diffused by the diffusion means.
- the device comprises:
- - motor means integral with a frame of the device is coupled to each of the first sampling needle, the second sampling needle and the injection needle to allow their displacement relative to the chassis between a released position in which the first sampling needle, the second sampling needle and the injection needle are moved away from the receiving housing, and an active position in which the first sampling needle, the second sampling needle and the injection needle are inserted in the reception housing.
- the needles do not present any risk of deterioration of the capsule during its insertion into the air diffusion device. This therefore prevents leakage of the liquid or liquids contained in the capsule inside the air diffusion device.
- the aerial diffusion device comprises transmission means interposed between the motor means and the needles to allow simultaneous movement of the needles from their released position to their active position or vice versa.
- the transmission means comprise:
- each follower gear being associated with one of the first sampling needles, the second sampling needle and the injection needle;
- the driving pinion driving in rotation one of the follower gearwheels, which in turn drives the idler gear, the idler gear then transmitting its rotational movement to the other follower gearwheels so that all the follower gearwheels rotate in the same direction of rotation.
- Such transmission means are both simple to implement and safe for the operation of the aerial broadcasting device.
- the use of pinions and follower wheels prevents twisting of the lines associated with the needles. Indeed, by turning in the same direction of rotation, each follower wheel allows the needles to move into their position without causing a twist in a first direction at a first end of a conduit and a twist in a second direction to a second end of the same conduit, these two twists in opposite directions may ultimately weaken or even damage the conduit.
- the chassis has means for abutting the needles in rotation, each needle being secured to a follower gear wheel by a helical connection, the abutment means transforming the movement of rotation of the needles into a movement of translation of the needles from their released position. to their active position or vice versa.
- the stop means thus make it possible to transform the rotational movement of the follower wheels into a translational movement of the hands.
- the needles act on the capsule by piercing it without causing a rotational movement which could damage the capsule and create pathways for the passage of fluid out of the capsule.
- the air diffusion device also comprises an air penetration needle in the second reservoir, the air penetration needle being movable relative to the chassis between a released position in which it is spaced from the receiving housing, and an active position in which it is inserted in the receiving housing.
- Such a vent makes it easier to draw water since air can enter the second tank so that the suction means do not have to create a significant vacuum force. This makes it possible, more generally, to simplify the design of the machine and to make it less energy-consuming.

- the second reservoir 5 has a substantially parallelepiped shape and includes a second sampling well 8.
- the second withdrawal well 8 extends from the second reservoir 5 in the direction of the first reservoir 4.
- the second withdrawal well 8 extends from a corner of the second reservoir 5 located in a lower portion of the second reservoir 5.
- a bottom wall 9 of the second tank 5, that is to say a wall facing the first tank 4, has an inclination, so that this bottom wall forms with a side wall 10 a funnel for directing the water contained in the second reservoir 5 towards the second sampling well 8.

- the injection needle 17 is intended to pierce the capsule 1 in order to penetrate into the injection well 7 of the first reservoir 4.
- the second sampling needle 18 is, for its part, intended to penetrate into the first sampling well 6 of the first reservoir 4 so that the aromatherapy composition therein can be withdrawn to be diffused by the means 13 of diffusion.
- the diffusion device 11 also comprises at least one line 20 connecting the first sampling needle 16 to the injection needle 17 so that the water withdrawn from the second reservoir 5 can be injected into the first reservoir 4.
- the diffusion device 11 uses the suction means 14 which are in particular in the form of a peristaltic pump.
- This peristaltic pump is in particular coupled to the pipe 20 connecting the first sampling needle 16 to the injection needle 17, so as to withdraw the water from the second tank 5 to inject it into the first tank 4.
- the aerial diffusion device 11 comprises, as seen in FIGS. 5 to 7, a chassis 21, motor means 22 and transmission means 23.
- the frame 21 is mounted on a frame 24 defining the housing 12 for receiving the capsule 1, and carries the first sampling needle 16, the second sampling needle 18 and the injection needle 17.

- the housing 12 In the released position of the needles 16, 17, 18, the housing 12 is free to access so that the capsule 1 can be inserted or removed therefrom without risk of being scratched or pierced by the needles 16, 17, 18.
- the air diffusion device 11 also includes an air penetration needle 25 intended to allow air penetration into the second tank 5.
- this air penetration needle 25 forms a vent allowing air to enter naturally into the second reservoir 5 when the water contained in the second reservoir 5 is discharged by the first sampling needle 16.
- the air penetration needle 25 is mounted on the frame 21 and is movable relative to this enters a cleared position in which the air penetration needle 25 is moved away from the housing 12 for receiving the disposable capsule 1, and therefore from the capsule 1 itself, and an active position in which the needle 25 of air penetration is inserted in the housing 12 for receiving the capsule 1, and more particularly in the second reservoir 5.
- the transmission means 23 include:
- each needle 16, 17, 18, 25 is secured by a helical connection to one of the follower wheels 27.
- each needle 16, 17, 18, 25 is integral with a screw 29 mounted in a follower wheel 27 by a helical connection. Each needle 16, 17, 18, 25 therefore passes through the screw 29 in which it is embedded.

- the grooves 32 are inserted between two pins 31 so as to prevent their rotation.
- the rotational movement of the follower wheels 27 is transformed into a translational movement of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 by the helical connection between the needle 16, 17, 18, 25 , and more particularly the screw 29 of which it is integral, and the follower wheel 27.
- the translational movement is notably due to the presence of the stop means 30 which prevents the rotation of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 and, via the helical connection, transforms the rotational movement of the follower wheels 27 into a movement of translation of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 from their released position to their active position or vice versa.
- the driving wheel 26 drives one of the follower wheels 27, namely the follower wheel 27 integral with the second sampling needle 18, which in turn drives the idler gear 28.
- the actuation of the motor means 22 causes the simultaneous displacement of all the needles 16, 17, 18, 25.
- the displacement of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 is thus synchronized.
- the diffusion device 11 comprises a first sensor 33 intended to detect a predetermined depression of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 in the capsule 1, and a second sensor 34 intended to detect the retraction of the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 relative to capsule 1.
- the first sensor 33 is intended to control and inform the motor means 22 that the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 are in their active position
- the second sensor is intended to inform the motor means 22 that the needles 16 , 17, 18, 25 are in their released position.
- the sensors 33, 34 are in particular associated with a unit 35 for controlling the broadcasting device 11, comprising a processing unit and a stopwatch or a clock making it possible to define a time of use of the broadcasting device 11. More specifically, the control unit 35 is informed of the active position of the hands 16, 17, 18, 25 and then triggers a time delay allowing the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 to be kept in their active position until the end the time delay corresponding to the use of the entire aromatherapy composition. When the time delay is exceeded, the control unit 35 controls the motor means 22 to position the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 in their released position and thus allow the capsule 1 to be withdrawn from the receiving housing 12.
- a unit 35 for controlling the broadcasting device 11 comprising a processing unit and a stopwatch or a clock making it possible to define a time of use of the broadcasting device 11. More specifically, the control unit 35 is informed of the active position of the hands 16, 17, 18, 25 and then triggers a time delay allowing the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 to be kept in their active position until the end the time delay corresponding
- Manual control means can also be added to the air diffusion device to allow the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 to be moved manually to their released position when the timeout is not over.
- the second sensor 34 is in particular connected to a free wheel 36 secured to one of the follower wheels 27, this free wheel 36 having a marking intended to inform the sensor of the position of the hands 16, 17, 18, 19.
- the first sensor 33 can be a sensitive sensor, that is to say a pressure sensor intended to detect a contact of a needle 16, 17, 18, 25 (or of the groove 32 which is associated with it) against the first sensor 33. When the first sensor 33 detects this coming into contact, it then deduces that the needles 16, 17, 18, 25 are in their active position.
- the diffusion means 13 comprise a reservoir 37, a vibrating membrane 38, and a pipe 39 connecting the reservoir 37 to the vibrating membrane 38.
- the reservoir 37 has a tubular inlet 40 connected to the circuit 19 so that when the aromatherapy composition is in the reservoir 37 it can only be directed towards the vibrating membrane 38.
- the aromatherapy composition cannot leak out of the reservoir 37.
- the vibrating membrane is advantageously controlled by the reception of the aromatherapy composition. In other words, in the absence of an aromatherapy composition, the vibrating membrane 38 is not activated.
- the first sampling needle 16 pierces the shell 2 at the second sampling well 8;
- the injection needle 17 pierces the shell 2 at the level of the injection well 7;
- the second sampling needle 18 pierces the shell 2 at the level of the first sampling well 6, and
- the air penetration needle 25 pierces the shell 2 directly into the second tank 5.
- the suction means 14 are actuated so that the water contained in the second reservoir 5 is sucked by the first sampling needle 16, crosses the pipe 20 to reach the injection needle 17 and be injected into the injection well 7 of the first reservoir 4.
- the water is mixed with the oil to form the aromatherapy composition, then withdrawn from the first withdrawal well 6 by the second withdrawal needle 18.
- the aromatherapy composition then reaches the means 13 of diffusion via the circuit 19.
- the aromatherapy composition then flows from the reservoir 37 to the vibrating membrane 38 via the pipe 39.
- the vibrating membrane 38 In contact with the aromatherapy composition, the vibrating membrane 38 then vibrates in order to mist the aromatherapy composition.
