Description

Diffuser of volatile substances with lid safety and diffuser cover.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a diffuser of volatile substances, of the aromatic type, etc ..., which is formed by a container that contains a liquid that evaporates to room temperature and a lid system that favor evaporation of the aroma and at the same time prevent access to the interior of the container.

The object of this invention is to achieve a diffuser of volatile substances that meet the necessary characteristics to offer an optimal level of security that prevents people, especially children, can access the liquid Container content, toxic in many cases, and at the same time reinforce the evaporation of the aromatic liquid in order to achieve a more efficient operation of it.

Background of the invention

Diffusers are currently known or air fresheners that are formed by a container that contains a substance that evaporates at room temperature. The performance of some of these air fresheners is based on the evaporation of the aromatic substance by means of a lid made with a material porous that is supported on the top of the container and that is in direct contact with the aromatic liquid through a wick that can be rigid or flexible and that due to its porosity make the lid continuously impregnated with liquid air freshener.

These diffusers or air fresheners present Several inconveniences. Some of these air fresheners have the diffuser lid fixed to the container by means of a system that allows that said cover can be removed at any time, thus remaining Free access to the liquid.

Although the fixation between the container and this Cap type can be carried out in several ways, on the part outside of it by means of a thread or by the inside of the mouthpiece by an elastic joint, in both cases it is quite easy to remove the diffuser cover since both systems have Easy grip of it. Also in most cases it is it is necessary to remove the lid that closes the container containing the liquid to place the diffuser cover, so we leave the discovered the contents of said container and can lead to accidental spills or ingestion of the contents thereof. This type of air fresheners do not meet safety standards imposed by the Spanish and community laws concerning Dangerous products, especially for children.

There are also other air fresheners that, like the corresponding to utility model n ° 1060820, they also use this system but they present a different problem. In this case the diffuser lid of the aroma, also of a porous material, is is housed inside the mouth or neck of the container and has characteristics that prevent extraction of the same and at the same time allow the evaporation of air freshener However, because it is housed inside of the mouth of the container has a limited area, for what evaporation of the liquid is quite reduced, not being this optimal option for those less aromatic substances volatile

Description of the invention

The diffuser proposed by the invention resolves completely the inconveniences that I mentioned above, maintaining security on the one hand with respect to the utility n ° 1060820 for preventing access to the content of the container and, on the other, achieving an evaporation of the liquid Aromatic more continuous and stable. At no time is it possible or it is necessary to remove the safety cover that includes this diffuser to the proper functioning of it.

This diffuser consists of a container which can be a glass jar, plastic, ceramic, etc, that Contains a liquid, aromatic, insecticide or any other whose objective is achieved by evaporating it, and that is equipped with a double cover system: a cover that we will call security, which may or may not include a wick that puts contact the lid with the liquid and it is housed inside the vessel neck, preventing direct human contact with the liquid inside the container and a second lid, which We will call broadcast, linked to the first through a system of tongue and groove coupling.

The inner or safety cover can be housed in the container at a height that allows it to be used another cover, of any material, that allows the waterproof closure of the diffuser for sale. The function of the cover of security is to prevent a person's direct access to both liquid contained inside the container, such as that may spill in case the diffuser overturns or in the case of any other incorrect handling thereof. In the part side the safety cover has two small protrusions perimetral that on the one hand facilitate the placement of a ring elastic that makes joint which allows adaptation and fixation from the safety cap to the jar on the inside of the neck of the same and on the other prevent the safety cover can be displaced excessively into the container and that the It can be removed once it has been put in place. The safety lid cannot be removed from the container, since it goes lodged inside the neck of the same and does not present any grip area that facilitates its extraction.

This cover provides the necessary security that It is currently recommended and mandatory for the use of products that can be toxic to the consumer in general and especially for children. This diffuser meets the standards current Spanish and European community in everything to the security refers. The safety cover can be continuously impregnated with aromatic liquid or similar thanks to the incorporation of a wick that allows direct contact between the liquid and safety cap even when the level of it descend for use. On the outside the safety cover features a tongue and groove coupling system with the lid superior that we have called diffuser, providing a means of ideal fit to make this and the outer cover diffuser stay in touch and linked together.

The outer cover or diffuser, in conjunction with the safety cover is the most significant part of this invention, since it has characteristics that make it different to other diffuser caps. Its function is to increase and favor the evaporation of the liquid without the need of any heat source, which solves the problems presented by other diffusers  previously described. The surface of the diffuser cover can be variable, which allows us to achieve the desired level of evaporation of the perfume, even in those that by its nature They are less volatile. The larger the surface of the lid The biggest diffuser is its ability to evaporate the aroma. The part top of the diffuser cover does not need to present a shape special so anyone can be valid. In his part bottom the diffuser cover has a coupling system tongue and groove that provides an ideal means of union between it and The safety cover. This coupling system allows fixing the diffuser lid on top of the container without the need for No other item. Optimum performance occurs because both covers are composed of a porous material, which may or may not be the same, which allows the aromatic oil, for example, or any other liquid that contains the container, is transmitted from the safety cover to the diffusion cover by joining tongue and groove coupling system provides, impregnating completely the diffuser cover without the need for it to be in direct contact with the liquid contained in the container. Cover diffuser in addition to the aforementioned achieves an improvement aesthetics that we must take into account.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As we see in the drawings and making reference to the numbering adopted, this diffuser is constituted by a container (1) which can be a glass jar, which has a mouth (2), of a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter of said container (1) and which is provided with its corresponding lid tight seal, which is not represented in the drawings so obvious from it. The novelty that the invention proposes consists of the conjunction of two covers (3 and 4): one we call security (3) that is housed inside the neck (2) of the container (1), under the sealing lid, and another that we call diffuser (4), which can be attached to the first by a tongue and groove coupling system (10 and 12) once we remove the sealing lid that usually have this type of containers.

The safety cover (3) is housed in the inside the neck or mouth (2) of the container (1) with the function to prevent the liquid (5) from spilling if the jar (1) is dumps or is inverted and at the same time access to the aromatic liquid (5) contained in the container (1) when for use we remove the tight closing lid. The safety cover (3) in its part lateral presents two small perimeter projections (8 and 9) that on the one hand they facilitate the placement of an elastic ring (7) that acts as a joint (7) which allows the adaptation and fixation of the safety cover (3) to the jar on the inside of the neck (2) of the same and on the other prevent the safety cover (3) can be displaced excessively into the container (1) and that the It can be removed once it has been put in place. The safety cover (3) is continuously impregnated with liquid aromatic (5) thanks to the incorporation of a wick (6) that allows direct contact between the air freshener (5) and the safety cover (3) even when its level drops by the use. In its outer part the safety cover (3) has a tongue and groove coupling system, represented in this case by a slit (10), which provides an ideal means to achieve that this and the diffuser cover (4) are joined.

The diffuser cover (4) has the function of increasing and favor the evaporation of the aromatic liquid (5) at temperature environment without the need of any heat source. The surface of the diffuser cover (4) can be variable, which allows us achieve evaporation of the desired liquid, even in those which by their nature are less volatile. The older the surface of the diffuser cover (4) greater is the evaporation of the liquid. The upper part (11) of the diffuser cover (4) does not need present a special form so anyone can be valid. In its lower part the diffuser cover has a system of tongue and groove coupling, represented in this case by a projection (12) that provides an ideal means of connection between this and the safety cover (3). This coupling system allows fixing the diffuser lid (4) on the top of the container (1) without Need for any other item.
