PROCESS FOR DEMONSTBATING PERFUMES OR THE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J uly 2. 1912}.

Application filed October, 21,1911. Serial No. 655,900.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS A. DE VIL- mss, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Process for Demonstrating Perfumes or the Like; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

.In the demonstrating of perfumes and toilet waters it has been the generally established practice to employ atomizers to discharge the liquid in spray form upon the clothes of persons. This method of demonstrating the fragrance of such liquids is objectionable not only because of the rapid use which is of very considerable pecuniary importance when expensive perfumes and toilet'waters are being demonstrated, but also because of the oily nature of perfumes and some toilet waters or liability of the same to soil or spot clothes, especially the fine clothes of women.

, There are also other objections to the demonstrating of perfumes, etc, in this manner, but those above mentioned are the principal ones. g

lhe object of my invention is to provide an improved method of demonstrating perand the like, whereby the consumption of the same for demonstrating purposes will be reduced to a minimum and the discharge thereof may be effected infldry visible vapor form directly upon the finestzof cloths or other articles without injury thereto In-the carrying out of my lllYQIlltlufl, I mix the perfume, toilet water, or the like, with glycerin or other suitable liquid of a greater consistency than perfume, which is adapted to form the body of the solution,

- and then place such solution in a nebulizer to be. discharged therefrom in vapor form as desired. In the mixing of such liquids, the proportions thereof may be varied within a wide range, as thegreatcr the proporother body liquid'to the tion. Upon a nebulizing of this solution, the glycerin or the like enhances the visibility of the vapor produced by reason of the glycerin forming a vehicle for carrying the minute particles of the perfume a considerable distance when discharged from the nebulizer, such discharge plainly appearing in dry cloudlike or vapor form, whereas if the perfume were discharged alone in vapor or nebnlized form it would carry only a very short distance and would almost immediately be lost to sight upon its discharge into the atmosphere.

IVhilc the perfume. when the solution is nebulized, appears liquid, it is found that the solution can be discharged directly upon the finest cloths or other articles without any damage or iiijury thereto and without leaving any moisture thereon, and also that the full fragrance of the perfume is retained in the vapor until it becomes entirely dispelled in the air, and even then the fragrance of the same is present.

It will be apparentthat this provides an excellent means for demonstrating perfumes and similar articles, due both to the very small quantity of the same that is. used, as compared with the methods heretofore employed for demonstrating such articles, and also to thejharmless character of the same when discharged upon tine wearing apparel.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,-

1. The method of demonstrating perfumes or toilet waters, consisting in mixing therewith an odorless liquid of greater consistency than such article whereby the visibility of a vapor produced therefrom is enhanced and the moisture of such vapor lessened, and then effecting a nebnlization of the mixture.

2. The method of demonstrating perfumes or toilet waters consisting in mixing glyccrin therewith whereby when the liquid is discharged in vapor form the visibility of the vapor is enhanced and the moisture thereof minimized, and then effecting anebulization of the mixture.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sut *cribing witnesses.
