[0001] PERFUME BOTTLE AND SPRAY SYSTEM

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates to a bottle of perfume, or hydroalcoholic compositions, which incorporates a spray outlet oriented upwards at a certain angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and a regulating mechanism by means of which it can launch sprays at partial percentages, being able to have a manual application or form a system, with the bottle located on a base to have electromechanical application from the base, both of the individual bottle and of a set of bottles located on the same base in a facing or circular configuration, so that a certain mixture of perfumes can be obtained applied to a user or in an empty bottle for refilling.

[0005] It finds particular application in the perfume industry, particularly in perfume bottles with sprayers and automatic dispensing devices.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] There is a common practice carried out by both fragrance manufacturers and consumers called "layering." This involves mixing commercial perfumes to create a personalized fragrance. One way to implement layering is through manufacturers creating and marketing fragrances or essences intended to be mixed together. Another way is to combine several perfumes from different families, which may or may not be from the same manufacturer, to create a new fragrance. The latter can also be proposed by manufacturers, creating blends of the products they sell, although it is more of an initiative of consumers, either to personalize a perfume to make it unique, or to lower the price by combining several perfumes of different prices.

[0008] Perfume manufacturers' approach to layering consists of using two or more perfumes and, by spraying them completely on a part of the body, achieving the desired blend. This technique is limited to blends where only one spray can be used as a unit of measurement, so it would be very limited. Below is an example of how to do this with three perfumes:

[0009] - 1 spray of perfume 1 + 1 spray of perfume 2 + 1 spray of perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 33.33% / 33.33% / 33.33% respectively, for a total result of 3 sprays.

[0010] - 2 sprays of perfume 1 + 1 spray of perfume 2 + 1 spray of perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 50% / 25% / 25% respectively, for a total of 4 sprays.

[0011] - 3 sprays of perfume 1 + 1 spray of perfume 2 + 1 spray of perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 60% / 20% / 20% respectively, for a total of 5 sprays.

[0012] As you can see, to lower the proportion of one of the perfumes you would have to significantly increase the proportion of the others, so in addition to using more product, there comes a point where the mixture would be unviable, due to the quantity of perfume used, causing the perfume, instead of being sprayed, to drip onto the part of the body applied.

[0013] Document EP3880259A1 consists of a device incorporating a housing and a rotating carousel, revolving like a revolver, for housing several perfume cartridges that are sequentially positioned so that, by means of an actuator, a specific quantity of perfume is extracted from the interior and deposited in a bottle positioned below. This receiving bottle is a conventional bottle with the atomizer removed, thus filling it with the desired proportion of the different perfumes.

[0014] The cartridge used would be the one related in document EP3849622, which consists of a perfume bottle with the usual elements of the bottles sold on the market, except for the atomizer, which is missing and instead there is a tube that conducts the perfume in liquid state downwards, all surrounded by a casing.

[0015] This invention has the disadvantage that the cartridges used cannot be used directly as individual perfumes, independent of the device. Furthermore, spray samples of the mixtures cannot be obtained; the bottle must be refilled to determine the result of a given mixture. This device could be included in laboratory perfume manufacturing machinery, unlike the one proposed, which has clear advantages for the user.

[0016] Document W02021061056 discloses an electronically controlled perfume dispensing device that sprays using a mechanism located inside a housing. The device includes several bottles so that a user can select a suitable blend in a personalized manner.

[0017] The technique used involves transferring fluids using specific elements, mainly pumps, solenoid valves, and check valves, compressing the fluid mixture using a single atomizer.

[0018] This invention has the disadvantage of using a unified fluid system, such that, when preparing a mixture, using a first fragrance, all the common and fixed elements of the device are impregnated with it. When using the next bottle to extract the product from it, all the elements are already contaminated with the previous product. As a result, undesirable mixtures are obtained due to contamination from the previous perfumes, which substantially alter them.

[0019] For an expert in the field it is known that the composition of a perfume, in addition to the substances that provide the characteristic smells of the perfume itself, also contains fixing elements or substances, which are intended for the adherence and permanence of the perfume on the applied part, contaminating any part or element through which the perfume flows and in particular non-removable elements such as those listed in the related patent.

[0020] The present invention addresses these problems that were not resolved in the current state of the art and presents a perfume bottle that can be used for application to a user in small doses and where a plurality of them can also be used in a device to apply a specific combination.

[0021] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The present invention relates to a perfume bottle that has a series of differentiating characteristics with respect to the bottles already on the market.

[0023] The bottle consists of a head, which includes an atomizing nozzle through which the atomized perfume is dispensed, a container, which houses the perfume, and a body that encompasses the container and through which the head slides to perform sprays. It should be noted that the container, along with the head, incorporates all the elements known in the state of the art to allow spraying simply by pressing the head.

[0024] A first characteristic of the bottle of the invention is that the atomizing nozzle is inclined upward at a specific angle, preferably between 40 and 50 degrees, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle. The spray is applied at this angle so that the perfume is sprayed slightly upward, rather than at a 90-degree angle to the longitudinal axis of the bottle, which is sprayed horizontally, as is known in the prior art.

[0025] A second feature of the bottle is that it incorporates a regulating mechanism that allows sprays to be delivered at partial percentages. This can be set to values ​​that are easy for users to understand, such as 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. To achieve this regulation, the bottle head features markings indicating the desired spray percentage. The head is attached to the bottle body by a ramp mechanism or, alternatively, a toothed mechanism, which allows for partial or complete spraying, depending on the quantity determined. Rotating the head positions the mechanism in the selected position.

[0026] The invention also relates to a perfume bottle, and in particular its casing, which can incorporate two drives, for which it comprises two activating elements, the push button and an actuator.

[0027] The first activator is the push button on the bottle head, designed to be activated by the user in a conventional manner, simply by pressing it to release the liquid through the atomizing nozzle, as with any known perfume bottle. This activator is the one incorporated into the bottle described.

[0028] A second activator is an actuator, designed for use with the bottle as an electromechanical device. It consists of a drive pin located at the bottom of the bottle, connected to an internal mechanism. This actuator is intended for use in conjunction with a motorized base from which the pin is driven to perform spraying.

[0029] When using the motorized base, the regulating mechanism for emitting partial sprays is electronic, acting directly on the motor and in particular regulating its travel.

[0030] When the base motor applies the impulse to the bottle pin, the bottle will tend to move in the direction of the impulse received. To prevent this displacement of the bottle and ensure that the impulse is applied exclusively to the actuator, on the one hand, the bottle incorporates a recess in the lower periphery, while on the other hand, the base incorporates a retaining mechanism that, once the driving force is applied, causes tabs to lock into the recess of the bottle, preventing its movement.

[0031] This retaining mechanism may consist of manually actuated tabs located on the base. Once the bottle is inserted into the base, they are applied by pressure to engage the recess and thus retain the bottle against the movement transmitted by the actuator force, allowing the perfume to be sprayed. However, the retaining mechanism may also be electromechanical, as described later.

[0032] Furthermore, the base may be designed to accommodate a single bottle or a plurality of bottles.

[0033] Through this actuator, the invention becomes an electromechanical device with all the electronic elements known in the art and not described, such as power supply, motors, microcontrollers, sensors, wireless Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, and others in which the spraying of the perfume can be carried out by an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, computer or similar, through an application.

[0034] The regulating and actuating mechanism is individual for each perfume bottle, allowing for combinations of different percentages. To achieve this, simply actuate the mechanism on several bottles at once, with a specific percentage, and then spray it directly toward the intended recipient.

[0035] Combining all of the above, the invention allows three embodiments as described below.

[0036] A first embodiment consists of a single-use perfume bottle with the feature that allows the desired spray percentage to be adjusted on the bottle itself, so that it can be applied directly to the user's skin, just like any commercial bottle. The application method is the usual one: pressing the head to spray.

[0037] A second form of embodiment consists of the electromechanical application of the sprayer, for which the invention is configured as a system that incorporates a motorized base that activates a nipple located on the bottle. This embodiment is focused on a single bottle or several bottles, being used together. This last case, being more generic and incorporating the case of a single bottle, will be the one that will be described.

[0038] In this system, the bottles are arranged in a circular arrangement on a base, each with the spray nozzle pointing toward a projected point in space where the user would preferably place their wrist or any desired body part. The user regulates the spray rate of each perfume bottle using a regulation mechanism that, unlike a manual regulation bottle, is not physical, but electronic. Regulation of the spray percentage is preferably carried out through a dedicated application, which sends commands to each motor, which is responsible for activating the actuator of the corresponding bottle to spray the mixture synchronously. However, it can also be done using a physical selector programmed to act on the motor.This technique allows you to perfume yourself with perfume vapors in a wide variety of precise proportions, as the regulation is electromechanical, allowing for spray adjustments in increments of 1% or even less.

[0039] Given the adjustable bottle size, this technique allows for an infinite number of combinations through the use of vaporizers. Extrapolating from the previous examples, it can be seen that it allows for mixtures with a much smaller amount of perfume, avoiding spraying on the user's body, as mentioned above. With a specific standard spray setting, the previous example would be modified as shown below:

[0040] - 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 1 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 2 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 33.33% / 33.33% / 33.33% respectively, with a total result of 0.75 sprays, compared to the conventional method, which would be 3 sprays.

[0041] - 1 spray (reg. 50%) Perfume 1 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 2 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 50% / 25% / 25% respectively, with a total result of 1 spray, compared to the conventional method, which would be 4 sprays.

[0042] - 1 spray (reg. 75%) Perfume 1 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 2 + 1 spray (reg. 25%) Perfume 3; this would result in a perfume with proportions of 60% / 20% / 20% respectively, with a total result of 1.25 sprays, compared to the conventional method, which would be 5 sprays.

[0043] A third embodiment involves incorporating a perfume refill bottle into the invention. In this case, as in the previous embodiment, the perfume bottles are arranged circularly around the base, but the purpose is to fill a bottle located in a recess in the center of the base. This is achieved by regulating the motor speed so that the spray velocity of all the bottles decreases to the point of becoming a jet. The refill bottle is filled by means of a centrally located part, attached to the bottles, resembling a funnel with a central hole. This part would collect all the perfumes sprayed and direct them toward an empty bottle placed below the hole in the funnel.The funnel is configured with reliefs on the periphery to fit the different bottles and can also incorporate a screen designed to be located in front of the outlet of the atomizing nozzles of the perfume bottles, to prevent the sprayed perfume from falling out of the funnel in the case of oversized sprays.

[0044] It is important to highlight the motor regulation technique applied to the actuator, so that the perfume is released in a liquid state instead of a spray, since the composition of perfumes contains a high percentage of alcohols that are highly volatile and otherwise this vital substance for the preservation and fidelity of the perfume would be lost.

[0045] Thus, by way of summary, it can be indicated that the present invention relates to a perfume bottle comprising a head, an atomizing nozzle located in the head, a container, which houses both the perfume and a supply conduit to the atomizing nozzle and a mechanism for performing sprays, which may include a pump, and a body, with a longitudinal axis, where both the container and the head are housed.

[0046] The atomizing nozzle has an inclination with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle body, and comprises a regulating mechanism that determines a percentage of a spray, where the inclination is between 40 and 50 degrees, and the regulating mechanism provides a plurality of percentages of a spray, depending on whether it is in different positions.

[0047] The regulating mechanism can be a ramp mechanism, which allows continuous regulation of the percentage of spray to be released, or a toothed mechanism, which allows regulation with several percentages of spray to be released.

[0048] Furthermore, the invention also relates to a perfume spraying system in which the type of bottles already described are used.

[0049] However, for the use of the bottles in this system, the bottle comprises a stud in contact with the container, and a recess, respectively for lifting movements, to carry out the spraying, and a retention, to fix the bottle during this lifting movement.

[0050] This system comprises a base with a bottle housing, and an actuator attached to the base and connected to the bottle housing. It also includes a motor for applying the sprays.

[0051] The spraying system may also comprise a plurality of bottle housings in the base, with an actuator associated with each housing. Although a single motor could be used to operate the system with a plurality of bottles, it is preferable to use a motor for each actuator, so that the partial sprays for each bottle can be regulated independently and directly, without the need for additional mechanisms.

[0052] The motor used for spraying, whether used on a single-bottle base or with mist, has adjustable stroke, allowing the piston to advance more or less, depending on the percentage of spray the user wishes to apply.

[0053] In addition, the user can also regulate the engine speed, selecting between a high speed for spraying and a low speed for jet spraying.

[0054] Using the motor at low speed to apply a jet of perfume requires that the spray system also incorporate a central recess in the base to accommodate a refill bottle, and a collector, shaped like a funnel, intended to be attached to the bottles, which comprises a central hole, such that the hole is aligned with the aforementioned central recess. In this way, by selecting the sprays with the defined percentage, each bottle will project a jet of perfume that will fall into the collector, end in the central hole, and then flow to the refill bottle located below. This operation will be repeated as many times as necessary until the refill bottle is filled to the desired amount.

[0055] Regarding the actuator configuration, on the one hand, the lifting mechanism may comprise a gear wheel, a rack that meshes with the gear wheel, a piston attached to the rack, and guides that each comprise through slots for controlling the retaining mechanism. On the other hand, the retaining mechanism comprises a pair of tabs, each with a pair of legs connected by a pin that is housed in the respective slot, along which it can move.

[0096] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0097] The present invention relates to a perfume bottle that incorporates a spray outlet oriented upwards at a certain angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and a regulating mechanism by means of which it can launch sprays at partial percentages, either manually or electromechanically, by means of a motorized base (19), in which case it can also be applied to several bottles at the same time.

[0098] Figure 1 represents the bottle of the invention, where it can be seen that it is composed of a head (1), a container (3) that contains the perfume and the ejection mechanism, an atomizing nozzle (2) through which the perfume is released to the outside, and a body (4) that surrounds the container (3) and where the head (1) is housed.

[0099] Figure 2 represents an actuator responsible for carrying out the spraying electromechanically. To do this, it incorporates a retaining mechanism (7) and a lifting mechanism (8).

[0100] The lifting mechanism (8) comprises a gear wheel (9), a rack (10), a piston (11) and guides (12).

[0101] The gear wheel (9) is activated by the shaft of a motor, not shown in the figures.

[0102] The rack (10) meshes with the toothed wheel (9), comprises side walls and ends in a base.

[0103] The piston (11) is connected to the base of the rack (10) with the longitudinal axis in the direction of movement of the rack (10).

[0104] Each of the guides (12) incorporates a serpentine-shaped through slot (13).

[0105] The retaining mechanism (7) comprises a pair of tabs (16), each with a pair of legs (14) joined by a pin (15) that is housed in the respective slot (13), through which it can move.

[0106] The movement of the actuator, when it has a bottle housed, occurs as follows.

[0107] The actuator starts from a rest position, with the retaining mechanism (7) in the lower position. When the motor is activated, the gear wheel (9) begins to rotate, causing the rack (10) to move.

[0108] This causes, on the one hand, the piston (11) to rise, which pushes the pin (6) of the bottle to perform a spray.

[0109] On the other hand, it also causes the guides (12) to rise, which make the pin (15) move from the outermost position, in the upper part of the slot (13), as can be seen in figure 5, to the innermost position, in the lower part of the slot (13), as can be seen in figure 6, figures 5 and 6 which represent a bottle located on the actuator, which has been sectioned to see how the movement of the retaining mechanism (7) is produced to move, respectively, from the deactivated position to the activated position.

[0110] With this movement, the tabs (16) move from a withdrawn position to a more closed position, being housed in the recess (5) incorporated in the body (4) of the bottle and preventing it from moving due to the force exerted by the piston (11).

[0111] Figures 3 and 4 represent the bottle housed in an actuator in the deactivated, or rest, position and activated, once the spray has been launched, respectively.

[0112] As has been mentioned, one object of the invention is that the bottles can emit partial sprays, instead of the usual full spray, which can be a large quantity of product, especially in cases where the application of perfume is sought through vaporizing bottles.

[0113] Partial spraying can be performed manually using a regulating mechanism located between the head (1) and the body (4) of the bottle. Marks defining the desired spray percentage are incorporated into the head (1) and, by rotating it, the head (1) is positioned relative to the body (4) of the bottle to emit the desired spray. Depending on the positions of these two elements, the movement will be more or less limited, resulting in less or less spray, respectively.

[0114] Figure 7 represents the bottle of the invention where the head (1) of the body (4) has been exploded in order to see the regulating mechanism responsible for carrying out the sprays in a percentage manner. In this figure it can be seen that the regulating mechanism consists of a toothed mechanism (18) formed by two elements that connect to each other, a first element (18a) located in the head (1), in the lower area, and a second element (18b) located in the body (4), in the upper area.

[0115] Figure 8 shows the different positions that the regulating mechanism can adopt for the use of a toothed mechanism (18), showing the different positions that the first element (18a) can adopt with respect to the second element (18b). Also shown is a ramp mechanism (17), formed by a support (17a) and a ramp (17b), with the same principle as the toothed mechanism (18), although with a continuous regulation of the positions instead of being discrete, in jumps.

[0116] Thus, in this figure 8 a flat simulation of the position of the two elements of the regulating mechanism is represented in the two embodiments indicated. It can be seen how, in a rest position, the two elements (18a, 18b) of the toothed mechanism (18) are without contact, and will only contact once a spraying of some percentages represented as 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of a spraying has been carried out, the two parts of the regulating mechanism coming into contact in a determined position that will result in a greater or lesser displacement of the body (4) with respect to the head (1) and will apply a greater or lesser spraying, respectively. In the same way, the ramp mechanism (17) is in a rest position, where the support (17a) and the ramp (17b) are not in contact.

[0117] Figure 9 shows a base (19) with a plurality of housings (24) intended to house perfume bottles to carry out a layering or simultaneous emission of several perfumes to obtain a different result. Each of the housings (24) of the bottles is associated with an actuator, the base (19) being able to incorporate a motor for the activation of each of the actuators or the motor being responsible for the activation of vapors, even incorporating a single motor for the activation of all the actuators. However, not incorporating a motor for each actuator, although it would avoid synchronization problems between the sprays of the different bottles, would have the added problem that an additional regulating mechanism would have to be incorporated in each actuator, such that the movement of the motor acts differently on each actuator, acting more or less intensely, depending on the percentage of spray selected.

[0118] Figure 10 represents the base (19) of Figure 9 with the bottles already located in the housings (24), also including a filling bottle (21) housed in a central hollow (20) defined in the base (19), and a collector (22) fixed to the bottles below the atomizing nozzles (2).

[0119] This configuration is for an embodiment in which the spraying speed is very small so that, instead of spraying, the bottles emit liquid jets through the atomizing nozzles (2) that fall on the collector (22) and through the central hole (23) reach the filling bottle (21). Therefore, the motor speed must be adjustable by the user. To do this, the system can incorporate a button that the user can access to choose between a spraying position and a dripping position. Alternatively, the button can be electronic, so that the position is selected from an electronic application on a control device such as a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet, or similar.

[0120] The collector may incorporate screens, not shown, designed so that, in the event that the shot of liquid perfume is more powerful than expected, the liquid impacts on said screens and falls into the collector (22) instead of coming out of it.

[0121] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention should not be limited to the embodiment described herein. Other configurations may be implemented by those skilled in the art in light of this description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
