Fragrance Bottle with Integrated Diffuser and Passageway
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing perfume dispensing methods either require continuous access to the fragrance product reservoir or separate absorbent materials, lacking a container design that integrates a diffuser article for controlled release within the container itself.
Innovation Solution
A container with a built-in diffuser article housed in an exterior section, featuring a passageway that allows for the controlled release of aromatic molecules, combined with an atomizing pump for spraying the fragrance product onto the diffuser article.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a diffuser article is placed in a separate container outside the fragrance bottle, then controlled release of aromatic molecules is achieved, but the device complexity increases and aesthetic integrity is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the diffuser article housing with the fragrance bottle by forming a passageway through the bottle body. The diffuser article is received within an exterior section of the container, creating an integrated unified structure that maintains aesthetic integrity while enabling controlled fragrance release without requiring separate external components.
Solution Approach 2:
The diffuser article is nested within the container structure itself, specifically housed in an exterior section with a passageway through the container body. This nesting approach allows the diffuser to be contained within the bottle's wall structure, eliminating the need for external housings while maintaining the controlled release function.
2Reliability
If continuous direct access to the fragrance reservoir is provided (as with wood reeds), then fragrance release is achieved, but the container aesthetic integrity is compromised and access is required continuously
Solution Approach 1:
The container is segmented into distinct functional sections: an interior reservoir for fragrance storage and an exterior section housing the diffuser article. A passageway connects these sections through the container wall, allowing fragrance to travel from the reservoir to the diffuser while maintaining the container's external aesthetic integrity and eliminating the need for continuous access openings.
Solution Approach 2:
The passageway acts as an intermediary channel that transports fragrance molecules from the interior reservoir to the exterior diffuser article. This intermediary structure enables continuous fragrance release through the container wall without requiring direct access openings or compromising the container's aesthetic composition.
3Reliability
If absorbent material is detached from the fragrance bottle (applied separately), then controlled release is achieved, but the ease of operation decreases and multiple steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The diffuser article is permanently integrated into the container structure, housed within an exterior section that is part of the bottle itself. This merging eliminates the need for separate application steps where users must detach and reattach absorbent materials, providing continuous controlled release automatically as fragrance travels through the passageway to the diffuser.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated diffuser system operates autonomously once assembled. The passageway structure automatically channels fragrance from the reservoir to the diffuser article, which continuously releases aromatic molecules without requiring user intervention, detachment, or reattachment operations.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables a self-contained, controlled release of fragrance molecules without the need for continuous access to the fragrance product reservoir, maintaining the container's aesthetic and functional integrity.
Implementation Method 1
When liquid fragrance products, such as perfumes or essential oils, are applied to an absorbent material, they accumulate in tiny spaces or pores within the material. This has the effect of slowing down the evaporation of aromatic molecules into the environment.
Implementation Method 2
This has the effect of slowing down the evaporation of aromatic molecules into the environment
Implementation Method 3
an atomizing pump for spraying the fragrance product onto a surface

AI summary
A fragrance bottle with a diffuser article for controlled release of fragrance product into an environment. The fragrance bottle uses an atomizing pump for spraying a liquid fragrance product onto a surface. The diffuser article is housed in an exterior section of the container. The diffuser article is able to effect a controlled release of aromatic molecules. The fragrance bottle can also be used to spray perfume onto the skin, in the usual way.
