Definitions

• Automatic air fresheners powered either from the mains or by an attached battery, that either continuously or intermittently automatically release the aromatic content of their containers can be regarded as automatic applicators of liquids or aerosols.
• Air fresheners often use a little motor for its operation that mechanically compresses the valve releasing aromatic substances into the environment. Utilization of such a little motor increases the applicator energy demands, and/or the battery capacity and size, thus effecting the weight of the applicator.
• Available on the market are air fresheners that do not comprise a little motor, but an electromagnetically operated valve connected directly to the container filled with aerosol. On the other hand, the used electromagnetically operated valves usually have high energy demands.
• a mobile, replenishable applicator of liquids has been constructed that is, due to its simple design, small, light-weight and that, due to its design, can release liquids with a minimum energy consumed, where the applicator is operated either manually, or automatically, and the entire power supply of the applicator consists of a small, light-weight battery.
• the applicator is primarily intended for dispensing perfumes or Cologne water, but it can also be used, for example, to dispense liquids with repellent effects on insects or to dispense disinfecting liquids where such liquids are applied at set time intervals in set amounts or as necessary.
• the applicator of liquids is preferably fitted with a control board allowing wireless connection between the applicator and electronic devices, such as controllers or mobile telephones.
• the main functional component of the applicator is a flat flexible wall, made of expansible material with elastic memory, preferably made of silicone or latex, that works similarly as an inflating balloon or better a balloon for“water bombs”.

• the vial is covered by the applicator case defining the space for the flexible wall expansion, and the entire applicator is turned upside down.
• the applicator of liquids includes an open vial, preferably in the shape of a cylinder opened on one end with a sectional rim, that is covered by a sandwich structure or that directly includes part of the sandwich structure.
• the sandwich structure thus comprises a flexible wall holder, flexible wall, and lid, wherein the flexible wall holder shape preferably copies that of the vial opening and is freely inserted in the sectional rim of the vial.
• the flexible wall holder is fitted with a through opening that is preferably centred in the holder and preferably has a circular shape.
• the size of the through opening cross section depends on the expansion of the flexible wall; preferably, the through opening area is 3 to 12 times smaller than that of the flexible wall holder.
• the flexible wall holder is fitted with a flat flexible wall, the area of which is thus greater than that of the holder through opening and the entire through opening is covered and overlapped by it.
• the overlapping area is at least twice of that of the through opening.
• the flexible wall is fitted with a lid, the area of which is greater than that of the holder through opening and as in the case of the flexible wall, it covers the entire area of the holder through opening.

• the input/output opening is preferably followed by the input/output line.
• the input/output line preferably follows the through opening in the lid or passes through it.
• the inlet/outlet chamber is fitted with at least one valve. Where the valve refers to a filling valve, it is preferably implemented as a spring-loaded spherical valve, a half-ball valve or a different valve with a sealing element.
• the filling valve is connected to the filling opening.

• the parameters of the filling valve and the location of the application opening in the inlet/outlet chamber are selected in order to allow the application opening to be closed by the filling valve ball when the filling valve is opened and the flexible wall being filled.
• the liquid can be released from the flexible wall into the application line with the filling valve closed and the applicator being used.
• the application opening is connected to the application valve, preferably using the application line.
• the application valve is preferably a ball-type valve for manual operation or an electromagnetic solenoid in the case electromagnetically operated applicator.

• the bulged filled flexible wall tends to recover its original state, i.e. continuously exerts pressure on the liquid thus pressing it back to the inlet/outlet chamber and from here by the application opening and application line towards the application valve. After the application valve is opened, the liquid from the applicator is released without any other energy demands.
• the continuous pressure of the flexible wall exerted onto the liquid also ensures that the applicator will be emptied to the maximum extent.
• the application valve is operated either manually, by depressing the valve, by which the passage through the valve is open and the liquid released out of the applicator, and/or the application valve is connected to an electronic control unit, preferably a control board allowing the dispensing process to be set. If the applicator is not operated purely mechanically by hand, it must be fitted with a source of energy, battery, preferably a Li-ion battery.
• the control board is preset for automatic dispensing at certain time intervals (minutes) and the duration of one application (milliseconds) is preset as well; such settings can be changed either manually directly on the applicator, and/or using a paired electronic device.

• the quantity of released liquid depends on the duration of the electromagnetically operated application valve 14. If an absorbent strip is placed on the application valve 14, the released insect-repellent is absorbed by the absorbent strip and is slowly evaporated from it.
• the applicator 1 is then preferably positioned for example in a tent and remotely activated by the mobile application wherein the tent is kept without insects.
• the applicator 1 can be positioned on an animal’s collar where the insect-repellent, dispensed at regular intervals, keeps the animal free of insects.
• the applicator 1 can be positioned on clothes or on a rucksack when camping with preset time intervals for application.
• Example 4 one manually operated valve, the lid integrated in the vial
• the applicator 1 for liquids was manufactured that comprised an open block-type vial 19 with the inner diameter of 50 x 30 x 15 mm, with the thickness of the wall 1 mm, made of steel.
• the vial 19 comprised a through opening 6 of the lid 5 with the diameter of 0.5 cm, as the entire bottom of the vial 19 was part of the lid 5.
• the lid 5 was fitted with the inlet/outlet chamber 7 with a simple two-way valve 14 of mechanical type fitted with a mechanical opening system - a pin connected to the valve by a screw cap.
• the inlet/outlet chamber 7 comprised the filling opening 8 leading from the outer side of the applicator 1 into its core, and an inlet/outlet opening K) leading from the inlet/outlet chamber 7 towards the flexible wall 4.
• a flat circular flexible wall made of latex with the thickness of 1 mm and with the diameter of 1.5 cm was placed to overlap the through opening 6 of the lid 5.
• a flat holder 2 of the flexible wall 4 of the rectangular shape was put, the dimensions of which copied the dimensions of the vial 19, meaning 50 x 30 mm.
• the holder 2 comprised a circular through opening 3 with the centre placed in one axis with the centre of the flexible wall 4 and with the centre of the through opening 6 of the lid 5.
• the through opening 3 of the holder 2 had a diameter of 1 cm.
• the holder 2 was depressed against the flexible wall 4 and the lid 5 and secured by locking catches representing the risen edge 16, from the inner side of the vial 19.
• the open rim of the vial 19 was overlapped by the case J_8 of the applicator 1.
• the screw cap was unscrewed from the pin of the mechanical opening system of the valve 14.
• a plastic syringe with no needle with the volume of 30 ml filled with aromatic liquid was put onto the pin of the mechanical opening system of the valve 14, and/or the filling opening 8 leading to the valve 14
• the mechanical valve 14 was opened, the liquid flew through the inlet/outlet chamber 7 through the inlet/outlet opening K) towards the flexible wall 4, by which the flexible wall 4 started to expand through the through opening 3 in the holder 2 of the flexible wall 4.
• the flexible wall 4 created a pocket filled with aromatic liquid, the shape of which copied the shape of the vial 19
• the volume of the pocket was about 25 ml.
• the expanded flexible wall 4 kept pressing the aromatic liquid back to the inlet/outlet chamber 7.
• the cap was screwed back on the pin of the mechanical opening system of the valve JA
• the pin, or application valve 14 where applicable was mechanically depressed, which released the liquid from the valve 14 in the amount corresponding to the duration of the valve 14 opening.
