Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Scented artificial plant

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is an artificially scented plant. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of everyday needs in personal or domestic objects, especially in artificial flowers.

[0007] Similarly, it falls under the classification of health, rescue and entertainment in procedures or apparatus for sterilizing materials or objects in general, disinfection, sterilization or deodorization of the air, especially those containing absorbent material, as well as in the corresponding subclass of apparatus.

[0008] STATE OF THE ART

[0009] The present invention arises from the observation that, although artificial plants can become visually indistinguishable from natural ones and have appreciable advantages such as not needing watering and remaining in perfect condition continuously, they lack the natural aroma of real plants and flowers.

[0010] In everyday use situations, these plants cannot offer the olfactory experience that a natural plant provides, which limits their ability to create completely authentic and sensorially rich environments.

[0011] In response to this problem, the present invention presents an artificial scented plant that allows users to enjoy the aesthetic and practical benefits of artificial plants while immersing themselves in a natural olfactory experience, thus enhancing the authenticity and appeal of any decorative space. Currently, no artificial scented plant is known to exist that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The object of the present invention is the creation of an artificial scented plant that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0014] The present invention relates to an artificial scented plant, comprising an artificial plant with elements that release aromas from a refillable perfume reservoir, preferably housed in a pot that supports the plant, facilitating the absorption of the perfume from the reservoir into the artificial plant for controlled release into the environment. The elements may include a porous channel in the stems, allowing capillary drainage, a pumping system (preferably powered by a small solar panel) with nozzles in flowers, buds, or stems, etc.

[0015] This invention solves the lack of aroma in artificial plants through an innovative system that mimics the natural smell of real plants.

[0016] This plant achieves a complete sensory experience, combining visual aesthetics with olfactory pleasure, providing both the realistic appearance and fragrance of natural plants.

[0017] Innovation is extremely beneficial for improving the authenticity and appeal of decorative spaces.

[0018] Furthermore, it satisfies a market need by offering a product that does not require constant maintenance, but provides a pleasant and long-lasting fragrance, improving the user experience and adding value to decorative artificial plants.

[0019] Artificial plants can feature leaves, flowers, or any other detail that simulates parts of a natural plant, designed with materials that faithfully replicate the appearance of real plants. Materials used include options such as plastic, fabric, polyurethane, and cardboard. These characteristics allow the plant to maintain an attractive and realistic visual appearance.

[0020] Additionally, the artificial plant is available in different sizes, thus adapting to various preferences and decorative needs. This facilitates its adaptation to different environments and contexts, expanding its aesthetic functionality.

[0021] The stems can act as fragrance conductors through various mechanisms. These include absorbent wicks (by capillary action), perforations in the stems, or spray systems with timers, among others, providing flexibility in choosing the method of diffusing the perfume.

[0022] On the other hand, the stems can be coated with an absorbent material that promotes the absorption and diffusion of the perfume. Examples of suitable materials for this purpose are cotton, hemp, activated carbon, or hydrophilic polymers, which contribute to efficient aroma dispersion.

[0023] The reservoir can be designed with sufficient capacity to ensure a prolonged and controlled release of the fragrance, preferably for several days depending on expected consumption. This component ensures that the artificial plant fulfills its aromatic function consistently and for a long time.

[0024] For added convenience, the reservoir can have an external access system located in the pot for refilling. This design simplifies the perfume refilling process without requiring the plant to be disassembled, adding practicality to the overall design.

[0025] The pot can be proportional in size to the artificial plant and be equipped with an inner platform to fix the stems in position, ensuring the structural and functional stability of the whole.

[0026] Finally, a filler material can be placed on the inner platform and the reservoir to complement the design. This lightweight material, such as polystyrene or gel beads, contributes to both the structural support and the overall aesthetic of the artificial plant, allowing for the simulation of typical potting soil.

[0027] To use the scented artificial plant, simply place it in the desired location and ensure the reservoir is filled with your chosen fragrance. The stems will act as fragrance conduits, diffusing the scent in a controlled manner thanks to the integrated mechanism. The pot, designed for stability, will keep the plant firmly in place, while the filling material will contribute to its support and overall appearance. With this design, you can enjoy a decorative and fragrant ambiance without any additional care.
