Definitions
- This invention relates to a fragrance emitting dispensing container. More particularly this invention relates to a dispensing container for a product having a closure that emits a fragrance to impart that fragrance to a room or other space.
- This invention is directed to a fragrance emitting dispensing container.
- the dispensing container is comprised of the container and a container closure.
- the container closure contains a fragrance emitting material in a fragrance emitting space within said closure.
- a removable lid seal closes the fragrance emitting space.
- the closure is removeably attached to the container and has a projection or similarly functioning means to seal a recess opening in a upper portion of the container for dispensing the product in the container.
- the removable lid seal is supported by a lid that optionally is removable.
- the fragrance emitting material that is in the fragrance emitting space can be in any shape or form, and preferably is in a sheet-like form in one or more sections or is in the form of a plurality of particles.
- the sheet material and particles are of a material that contains the fragrance.
- the lid seal can be in a single piece or a plurality of pieces.
- the lid has a plurality of apertures to allow the fragrance within the closure to be emitted from the closure.
- the lid seal when in one piece will expose all apertures when removed, and when in more than one section can be removed to open less than all of the apertures and thereby control the release of the fragrance.
- the container and the closure can be of a decorative shape with the container and the closure coordinating in the decorative shape. This can be in the shape of a flower, animal, structure or other item that fits the decor of the room in which it is to be used.
- the container and closure can be made from essentially any material. These include glass and plastics.
- the fragrance emitting material can be a plastic or an inorganic substance that has the fragrance adsorbed therein.
- inorganic substances include silicas, aluminas and aluminosilicates such as zeolites.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the fragrance emitting dispensing container.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the dispensing container closure.
- Figure 3 A is a vertical cross-section of the closure of Figure 2 showing fragranced particles therein.
- Figure 3B is a vertical cross-section of the closure of Figure 2 showing a contained fragranced sheet of material therein. .
- Figure 3C is a vertical cross section of the closure of Figure 2 showing the space for the fragrance emitting material.
- Figure 4 is an exploded view of the closure of Figure 2 also showing the container spout.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the closure showing a sectioned seal.
- FIG. 1 shows the fragrance emitting dispenser 10 in a perspective view.
- the fragrance emitting dispensing container 10 is comprised of container 12 and closure 14.
- the container 12 is a decorative container of a vase-like shape having a base 22 and a necked in portion 24 adjacent the base.
- the closure 14 is a decorative closure with flower-like petals 18. This closure has a lid 16 which has a plurality of apertures 20.
- a removable lid seal 15 closes the apertures prior to the emitting of the fragrance.
- FIG 2 is a perspective view of the closure showing the flower-like petals 18 and the apertures 20 in more detail. A plurality of apertures are shown each being designated by 20.
- the lid seal 15 is removed in this view to show all of the apertures 20 in lid 16.
- the lid seal can be a single seal as in Figure 1 which opens all of the apertures or a multiple part seal which opens some of the apertures. This is shown in Figure 5 along with tabs 17 to grip sections 15(a), 15(b), 15(c) and 15(d). This seal usually will be adhesively attached to the lid. Perforations 19 will separate the sections of the seal.
- Figure 3A shows the closure 14 in more detail in vertical cross-section with fragrance containing particles.
- Figure 3B shows a variation of the closure 14 with a fragrance containing sheet; and
- Figure 3C the closure 14 without any fragrance material.
- a plurality of fragrance particles 50 in fragrance emitting space 26 This space is formed by a bottom pan 22, wall 24 and lid 16.
- the apertures 20 are shown in this view as all being open.
- the lid seal 15 has been removed.
- the closure attaches to the container 12 by means of threads 36 on container upper part 33 and threads 34 on the closure.
- the spout 30 of the container has a dispensing aperture 38 which is closed by projection 40 on the closure.
- the spout 30 is a friction fit in the container upper part.
- FIG. 3B shows the closure of Figure 3B in an exploded view. This view shows the prongs 28(a) and 28(b) of the lid that interfit into apertures 29(a) and 29(b) (not shown) of the closure.
- the container spout 30 is also shown in more detail in this view. This consists of a nozzle portion 37, flange 31 and wall 35 which is a friction fit into the container. The closure 14 closes the opening in nozzle 37.
- the container is easily used for its two purposes.
- the closure In order to dispense the detergent product in the container the closure is rotated in the manner of any cap closure and removed from the container.
- the detergent product then is dispensed in the usual way through the spout.
- the closure can be put onto the container by rotating the closure in the direction opposite to that when the closure was removed from the container.
- the dispensing of the fragrance will occur both when the closure is on the container and when it is off the container. This is controlled through the removal of the seal covering the fragrance emitting apertures. This amount of fragrance emitted can be controlled by the full or partial removal of the seal.
- the container can be of any material including glass, but plastics are preferred, and in particular thermoplastics that can be blowmolded. These include the polyolefins and polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate.
- the closure can be can be made from any injection moldable plastics, with polyolefins being preferred.
- the container spout also will be injection molded.
- the fragrance emitting material is a material that contains the fragrance.
- the fragrance is within the material by absorption, adsorption or by being trapped.
- Suitable fragrances within a plastic are available from International Flavors and Fragrances under the POLYIFF trademark which are ethylene vinyl alcohol or polyethylene plastics which contain and emit a fragrance.
- fragrances adsorbed onto inorganic materials such as silicas, aluminas and alummosicates such as zeolites.
- the present fragrance emitting dispensing container has been desribed in its preferred embodiments. However, the scope of the invention is described by the concepts which embody the preferred embodiments.
