OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un difusor de sustancia activa, el cual utiliza una lámpara eléctrica que además de proporcionar el calor necesario para conseguir la evaporación de la sustancia activa, constituye una fuente de emisión de luz para conseguir una iluminación ambiental .The present invention relates to an active substance diffuser, which uses an electric lamp that, in addition to providing the heat necessary to achieve evaporation of the active substance, constitutes a source of light emission to achieve ambient lighting.
El objeto de la invención es un difusor de sustancias activas que utiliza como medio de calentamiento para la evaporación de la sustancia activa una lámpara eléctrica, permitiendo utilizar el conjunto como elemento decorativo y de iluminación ambiental, con la particularidad de que la sustancia activa está disuelta en un gel que actúa como medio de soporte .The object of the invention is an active substance diffuser that uses an electric lamp as a heating medium for evaporation of the active substance, allowing the assembly to be used as a decorative and ambient lighting element, with the particularity that the active substance is dissolved in a gel that acts as a support medium.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Se conocen distintos tipos de aparatos difusores de sustancias activas, pudiendo citar aquellos en los que la difusión viene regulada por un elemento calefactor o de propulsión de aire, mientras que en otros casos la difusión bien regulada por el calor producido por la llama de una vela de cera o gel, conociéndose también como elementos para producir el calentamiento de la sustancia activa y su consecuente evaporación, lámparas eléctricas.Different types of diffusers of active substances are known, being able to mention those in which the diffusion is regulated by a heating or air-propulsion element, while in other cases the diffusion well regulated by the heat produced by the flame of a candle of wax or gel, also known as elements to produce the heating of the active substance and its consequent evaporation, electric lamps.
Así, en la patente US 5651942 se describe un difusor de aroma por evaporación gracias al calor aportado por una lámpara, de manera que en este caso aunque se utiliza una lámpara eléctrica para producir el calor y correspondiente evaporación de la sustancia activa, dicha lámpara únicamente está prevista para cumplir la función de calentamiento, y no para proporcionar un efecto iluminador.Thus, in US Patent 5651942 a evaporation aroma diffuser thanks to the heat provided by a lamp, so that in this case although an electric lamp is used to produce heat and corresponding evaporation of the active substance, said lamp is only intended to fulfill the heating function, and Not to provide an illuminating effect.
Además, en este caso el difusor incluye un contenedor que puede ser rellenado por el usuario mediante cualquier tipo de sustancia activa.In addition, in this case the diffuser includes a container that can be filled by the user by any type of active substance.
El inconveniente que presenta este difusor objeto de la citada patente norteamericana, es que la lámpara de calentamiento no está prevista para cumplir una función de iluminación, además de que sobre el contenedor del aparato difusor puede colocarse cualquier sustancia activa, pudiendo dar lugar a problemas de una mala evaporación, de un mal aroma, de una falta de control en el consumo, etc.The drawback presented by this diffuser object of the aforementioned US patent is that the heating lamp is not intended to fulfill a lighting function, in addition to the fact that any active substance can be placed on the diffuser container, which can lead to problems of a bad evaporation, a bad aroma, a lack of control over consumption, etc.
En la patente EP 0855189 A2 se describe un difusor de sustancias activas, que utiliza también una lámpara incandescente para producir la evaporación de la sustancia, encontrándose ésta impregnada en un medio poroso.EP 0855189 A2 describes a diffuser of active substances, which also uses an incandescent lamp to produce evaporation of the substance, which is impregnated in a porous medium.
En este caso tampoco la lámpara se utiliza como medio de iluminación, y además la sustancia activa o aromática está impregnada en un medio poroso y no en contenedor.In this case, the lamp is not used as a lighting medium either, and the active or aromatic substance is also impregnated in a porous medium and not in a container.
En la patente US 4009384 se describe una pantalla para una lámpara que permite alojar un material poroso impregnando de sustancia activa o aromática, la cual se evapora gracias al calor de la lámpara, no previéndose tampoco en este caso que la lámpara cumpla la función de iluminación ni que exista un contenedor para la sustancia activa.A screen for a lamp is described in US 4009384 which allows a porous material to be filled with an active or aromatic substance, which evaporates thanks to the heat of the lamp, not provided neither in this case that the lamp fulfills the function of lighting or that there is a container for the active substance.
En la patente US 2469656 se describe un vaporizador constituido por una botella con mecha que mediante el calor de una lámpara produce la evaporación de la sustancia activa en la mecha, estando el dispositivo previsto para poderse adaptar a cualquier lámpara decorativa, aunque no existe un conjunto único que constituya un difusor y además una lámpara de iluminación simultáneamente .In US Patent 2469656 a vaporizer consisting of a wick bottle is described, which by means of the heat of a lamp produces the evaporation of the active substance in the wick, the device provided for being able to adapt to any decorative lamp, although there is no set unique that constitutes a diffuser and also a lighting lamp simultaneously.
Finalmente, la patente US 4171754 describe un elemento decorativo en forma de flor que produce iluminación y acción ambientadora, en donde dicha iluminación proviene de una lámpara eléctrica y la difusión de la sustancia activa, en este caso líquida, se realiza mediante un sistema de presurizado con temporización.Finally, US 4171754 describes a decorative element in the form of a flower that produces lighting and air freshening action, where said lighting comes from an electric lamp and the diffusion of the active substance, in this case liquid, is carried out by means of a pressurized system with timing.
Teniendo en cuenta los antecedentes referidos, que pueden considerarse como los más significativos en relación con el campo de aplicación de la presente patente de invención, puede decirse que no se conoce ningún dispositivo o aparato donde el calor de una lámpara cumpla, además de la función de difundir sustancias activas, la de servir de medio de iluminación, como tampoco se conoce ningún aparato difusor en los que la sustancia activa se suministre con un formato estándar específico para usar concretamente en el difusor, como recambio comercial .Taking into account the aforementioned background, which can be considered as the most significant in relation to the scope of the present invention patent, it can be said that no device or apparatus is known where the heat of a lamp meets, in addition to the function of diffusing active substances, that of serving as a lighting medium, as no diffuser apparatus is known in which the active substance is supplied with a specific standard format to be used specifically in the diffuser, as a commercial replacement.
Tampoco se conoce ningún dispositivo o aparato difusor de sustancias activas en los que el calor de una lámpara permita la difusión de la sustancia activa y en donde ésta sea en cualquier formato y su contenedor transparente o al menos traslúcido, con el fin de permitir el paso de la luz de la lámpara a su través y que pudiera constituir además de un difusor de sustancia activa un elemento o dispositivo de iluminación.There is also no known device or device diffuser of active substances in which the heat of a lamp allows the diffusion of the active substance and where it is in any format and its transparent or at least translucent container, in order to allow the light of the lamp to pass through it and which could also constitute a diffuser of active substance a lighting element or device.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El difusor de sustancias activas objeto de la invención está previsto para que la sustancia activa esté incluida en un gel y en donde el calentamiento de sustancia activa, para su evaporación y correspondiente difusión, se efectúa mediante una lámpara eléctrica que además de utilizarse como medio de calentamiento se utiliza como medio de iluminación.The diffuser of active substances object of the invention is provided so that the active substance is included in a gel and wherein the heating of active substance, for evaporation and corresponding diffusion, is carried out by means of an electric lamp that in addition to being used as a means of Heating is used as a means of lighting.
Más concretamente, el difusor de la invención se constituye a partir de una base o soporte para una lámpara eléctrica, sobre cuya base o soporte se monta, con carácter intercambiable, un contenedor de la sustancia activa dotado de aberturas para permitir la difusión al exterior de la sustancia activa cuando se produce el calentamiento por medio de la lámpara, previéndose para ello que el contenedor tenga una parte hueca en la que va precisamente situada y acoplada la lámpara con el soporte, para que el calentamiento que produzca dicha lámpara se transmita en la mayor superficie posible al contenedor y por lo tanto a la sustancia activa contenida en el mismo.More specifically, the diffuser of the invention is constituted from a base or support for an electric lamp, on whose base or support an active substance container fitted with openings is mounted interchangeably to allow diffusion to the outside of the active substance when heating occurs by means of the lamp, provided that the container has a hollow part in which the lamp is precisely located and coupled with the support, so that the heating produced by said lamp is transmitted in the largest possible surface area to the container and therefore to the active substance contained therein.
La lámpara puede complementarse con un protector para la misma que irá acoplado, también con carácter intercambiable, al soporte base, mientras que el contenedor puede complementarse también con una tapa intercambiable que se retirará en el momento de utilizar el difusor, siendo dicha tapa opcionalmente reutilizable para proteger la sustancia activa de partículas extrañas cuando no se utilice el difusor.The lamp can be complemented with a protector for the same that will be coupled, also interchangeably, to the base support, while the container can also be complemented with a lid interchangeable that will be removed at the time of using the diffuser, said lid being optionally reusable to protect the active substance from foreign particles when the diffuser is not used.
La sustancia activa estará en forma de gel, sólido a temperatura ambiente, mientras que el contenedor de sustancia activa será un elemento independiente, de manera que pueda desvincularse del conjunto formado por la lámpara montada sobre su base de soporte, pudiendo ser considerado como un recambio para el conjunto del difusor.The active substance will be in gel form, solid at room temperature, while the active substance container will be an independent element, so that it can be detached from the assembly formed by the lamp mounted on its support base, and can be considered as a replacement for the diffuser assembly.
Por su parte, la lámpara puede ser remplazable o no, mientras que el protector puede ser también opcional.For its part, the lamp can be replaceable or not, while the protector can also be optional.
Finalmente, decir que el conjunto de la lámpara con la base de soporte podrá complementarse con un cable y un interruptor para conexión a la red eléctrica del conjunto del difusor.Finally, say that the lamp assembly with the support base can be complemented by a cable and a switch for connection to the power grid of the diffuser assembly.
De esta manera se obtiene un dispositivo difusor de sustancias activas, que no solamente está previsto para producir la difusión por evaporación de la sustancia activa, sino para constituir un elemento decorativo de iluminación, ya que tanto el contenedor, como el gel de la sustancia activa y en su caso el protector de la lámpara, serán de material transparente y traslúcido para permitir el paso de la luz emitida por la lámpara y conseguir una iluminación ambiental .In this way a diffuser device of active substances is obtained, which is not only intended to produce diffusion by evaporation of the active substance, but to constitute a decorative lighting element, since both the container and the gel of the active substance and where appropriate, the lamp protector will be made of transparent and translucent material to allow the light emitted by the lamp to pass through and achieve ambient lighting.
En cuanto al contenedor, al ser recambiable, podrá tener distintos formatos o diseños, pero siempre con una parte que permita su acoplamiento sobre el soporte base de la lámpara. Entre las ventajas más destacables del difusor referido, pueden citarse las siguientes:As for the container, being replaceable, it may have different formats or designs, but always with a part that allows its coupling on the base support of the lamp. Among the most outstanding advantages of the referred diffuser, the following can be mentioned:
El difusor de sustancia activa constituye un elemento decorativo, de manera que su conexión por cable permite ubicar el difusor en una zona visible de la estancia.The active substance diffuser constitutes a decorative element, so that its cable connection allows the diffuser to be located in a visible area of the room.
El difusor puede utilizarse como pequeña lámpara gracias a que los materiales que rodean a ésta son traslúcidos o transparentes, permitiendo el paso de la luz.The diffuser can be used as a small lamp because the materials surrounding it are translucent or transparent, allowing the passage of light.
Posibilidad de variar la sustancia activa y también el efecto decorativo del difusor, únicamente sustituyendo el contenedor constitutivo del recambio.Possibility of varying the active substance and also the decorative effect of the diffuser, only by replacing the constituent container of the replacement.
El difusor constituye un dispositivo equivalente en prestaciones a una vela perfumada pero sin sus riesgos, puesto que no existe llama, permitiendo igual que la vela ver en todo momento el consumo de la sustancia activa y la evolución según se vaya consumiendo.The diffuser constitutes a device equivalent in benefits to a scented candle but without its risks, since there is no flame, allowing the candle to see at all times the consumption of the active substance and the evolution as it is consumed.
En el difusor de la invención, la sustancia activa está en un contenedor, con lo que no existe posibilidad de pérdidas en fase líquida al exterior durante el uso normal del difusor, tal como podría ocurrir con una vela.In the diffuser of the invention, the active substance is in a container, whereby there is no possibility of losses in liquid phase to the outside during normal use of the diffuser, such as could occur with a candle.
En el difusor de la invención la sustancia activa está formulada de forma tal que su evaporación aumenta de manera importante a la temperatura de trabajo.In the diffuser of the invention the active substance is formulated in such a way that its evaporation increases significantly at the working temperature.
En el difusor de la invención la sustancia activa está disuelta con gel que actúa como medio de soporte, con la ventaja de que gran parte del contenido se evapora con el uso, siendo visible el fin del producto, de manera que si la sustancia activa estuviera impregnada en un material no volátil, tipo un sólido absorbente no poroso, no sería evidente la finalización del producto o recambio.In the diffuser of the invention the active substance is dissolved with gel that acts as a support medium, with the advantage that large part of the content evaporates with use, the end of the product being visible, so that if the active substance were impregnated in a non-volatile material, such as a non-porous absorbent solid, the completion of the product or replacement would not be evident.
El difusor presenta la sustancia activa soportada en un gel, con la posibilidad de ser una formulación transparente a al menos una parte de la luz visible emitida por la lámpara, lo cual no sería fácil en caso de una sustancia activa no volátil .The diffuser has the active substance supported on a gel, with the possibility of being a transparent formulation to at least a part of the visible light emitted by the lamp, which would not be easy in case of a non-volatile active substance.
El difusor constituye un dispositivo de bajo consumo eléctrico, conectable a la red doméstica, por lo que su uso no está condicionado por la duración de unas baterías . El recambio que constituye el contenedor de la sustancia activa se puede guardar con la tapa con la que se comercializa, aportando dos ventajas, una consistente en que el conjunto del difusor se conserva limpio puesto que la tapa evita la entrada de partículas extrañas, mientras que la otra ventaja consiste en que la sustancia activa no se consume de forma indeseada por efecto de la temperatura ambiental elevada y/o corrientes de aire .The diffuser constitutes a device of low electrical consumption, connectable to the domestic network, reason why its use is not conditioned by the duration of some batteries. The replacement that constitutes the container of the active substance can be stored with the lid with which it is marketed, providing two advantages, one consisting in that the whole of the diffuser is kept clean since the lid prevents the entry of foreign particles, while the other advantage is that the active substance is not consumed undesirably due to the high ambient temperature and / or air currents.
El difusor presenta también ventajas para el fabricante, las cuales son el hecho de que únicamente podrá utilizar para evaporar sustancias activas comercializadas por su propio fabricante, así como el obtener un difusor de sustancias activas con iluminación solamente con una lámpara, sin necesidad de incorporar un elemento propio para difusión de la sustancia activa, tipo calefactor o propulsor de aire. Igualmente, para el fabricante resulta una gran ventaja el que el difusor incluya unos mínimos componentes de constitución sencilla y habituales, ofreciendo un óptimo o correcto funcionamiento.The diffuser also has advantages for the manufacturer, which are the fact that it can only be used to evaporate active substances marketed by its own manufacturer, as well as obtaining a diffuser of active substances with lighting only with a lamp, without the need to incorporate a own element for diffusion of the active substance, heating type or air propellant. Likewise, for the manufacturer it is a great advantage that the diffuser includes minimal components of simple and usual constitution, offering optimum or correct operation.
