Abstract
Apparatus and methods for variable-control fragrance dispensing. The disclosed device brings customization to the fragrance industry. Interchanging sub-containers and selecting the amounts of each sub-container allows a user to customize their scents. A mixing chamber contained to receive and mix a variable amount of each liquid from a plurality of sub-containers is described. The mixed liquid is sprayable out a spray head of the device. Selector knobs may be used to control valves which control the variable amount of each liquid dispensed.
Claims18
A liquid dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of containers, each container of the plurality of containers configured to hold one of a plurality of liquids;
- a mixing chamber comprising a plurality of valve control apertures;
- a plurality of valves partially disposed within the plurality of valve control apertures, each of the plurality of valves comprising a user controllable dial coupled to the mixing chamber on an opposing side of the plurality of containers, the plurality of valves configured to control a variable amount of the plurality of liquids for mixing in the mixing chamber to create a mixed liquid;
- and
- a spray head configured to release the mixed liquid.
A liquid dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
- a spray head comprising a pump;
- a main dip tube coupled to the spray head, the main dip tube characterized by a longitudinal axis extending along a length of the main dip tube;
- a mixing chamber coupled to the main dip tube;
- a first attachable container coupled to the mixing chamber, the first attachable container configured to hold a first liquid;
- a first valve coupled to the mixing chamber, the first valve comprising a first rotatable dial and configured to control a first amount of the first liquid mixed by the mixing chamber, the first rotatable dial rotatable about a first axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main dip tube, the first rotatable dial comprising a projection configured to interact with the housing and limit a range of motion of the first rotatable dial;
- a second attachable container coupled to the mixing chamber, the second attachable container configured to hold a second liquid;
- and
- a second valve coupled to the mixing chamber, the second valve comprising a second rotatable dial and configured to control a second amount of the second liquid mixed by the mixing chamber, the second rotatable dial rotatable about a second axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main dip tube.
An apparatus for mixing liquid, comprising:
- a central portion comprising a central cavity connected a first aperture on a first end of the apparatus for mixing liquid;
- and
- a plurality of lateral arms extending from the central portion, wherein each of the plurality of lateral arms comprise:
- a second aperture disposed on a second end of the apparatus for mixing liquid;
- a pre-valve lateral arm cavity fluidly coupled to the second aperture;
- a post-valve lateral arm cavity fluidly coupled to the central cavity;
- and
- a valve cavity on the first end of the apparatus for mixing liquid, the valve cavity couplable to a valve configured to control a flow of liquid between the pre-valve lateral arm cavity and the post-valve lateral arm cavity.
