Abstract
A grip for use with a writing implement, wherein the grip includes a liquid reservoir including a volatile liquid, a user actuator configured to pressurize the volatile liquid in the liquid reservoir based on a force applied by a user of the grip, a liquid transfer member including at least one channel configured to provide a liquid transfer path out of the liquid reservoir; and a fragrance diffusion member in fluidic communication with the at least one channel, wherein, in use, an amount of volatile liquid is delivered to the fragrance diffusion member via the at least one channel in response to the user applying a force to the user actuator, wherein the grip is configured to release an aroma upon evaporation of the volatile liquid from the fragrance diffusion member.
Claims20
A grip for use with a writing implement, wherein the grip comprises:
- a liquid reservoir comprising a volatile liquid;
- a user actuator configured to pressurize the volatile liquid in the liquid reservoir based on a force applied by a user of the grip;
- a liquid transfer member comprising at least one channel configured to provide a liquid transfer path out of the liquid reservoir;
- and
- a fragrance diffusion member in liquid communication with the at least one channel;
- wherein, in use, an amount of volatile liquid is delivered to the fragrance diffusion member via the at least one channel in response to the user applying a force to the user actuator, and wherein the grip is configured to release an aroma upon evaporation of the volatile liquid from the fragrance diffusion member, wherein the liquid reservoir is a bladder containing at least a portion of the volatile liquid, wherein the bladder is compressible during use of the grip by a user, and the user actuator is a surface of the bladder, and wherein the grip is configured to be fitted around a body of a writing implement.
A writing implement, comprising:
- a writing implement body, and
- a permanent or removable grip configured to fit around a body of the writing implement, wherein the grip comprises:
- a liquid reservoir comprising a volatile liquid;
- a user actuator configured to pressurize the volatile liquid in the liquid reservoir based on a force applied by a user of the grip;
- a liquid transfer member comprising at least one channel configured to provide a liquid transfer path out of the liquid reservoir;
- and
- a fragrance diffusion member in liquid communication with the at least one channel;
- wherein, in use, an amount of volatile liquid is delivered to the fragrance diffusion member via the at least one channel in response to the user applying a force to the user actuator, and wherein the grip is configured to release an aroma upon evaporation of the volatile liquid from the fragrance diffusion member.
A kit of parts, comprising:
- a first grip configured to be fitted around a body of a writing implement, wherein the first grip comprises:
- a first liquid reservoir comprising a first type of volatile liquid, wherein the first liquid reservoir is a first bladder containing at least a portion of the first type of volatile liquid, wherein the first bladder is compressible during use of the first grip by a user;
- a first user actuator configured to pressurize the first type of volatile liquid in the first liquid reservoir based on a force applied by a user of the first grip, wherein the first user actuator is a surface of the first bladder;
- a first liquid transfer member comprising at least one first channel configured to provide a liquid transfer path out of the first liquid reservoir;
- a first fragrance diffusion member in liquid communication with the at least one first channel;
- and
- a writing implement,
- wherein, in use, an amount of volatile liquid is delivered to the first fragrance diffusion member via the at least one first channel in response to the user applying a force to the first user actuator, and wherein the first grip is configured to release an aroma upon evaporation of the first type of volatile liquid from the first fragrance diffusion member.
