Precision fragrance dispenser apparatus

Abstract

A fragrance dispenser for use with synchronized visual images may have a breath sensor located adjacent a person's nose and actuated by inhaling and exhaling through the nose to produce a fragrance dispensing signal and a plurality of fragrance dispensers each having a fragrance release portion positioned adjacent a person's nose for dispensing a fragrance adjacent the nose responsive to a fragrance dispensing signal from the breath sensor. The system has a source or pressurized gas connected to each fragrance dispenser and a gas pressure control mechanism connected between the source of pressurized gas in each of the plurality of fragrance dispensers and connected for receiving the breath sensor fragrance dispensing signals to selectively control the release of a pressurized gas, such are air, to individual fragrance dispensers for selectively dispersing the different fragrances responsive to signals from the breath sensor. The breath sensor may be a flexible thin flat surface having a conductive surface mounted adjacent separated contacts so that the breath moving the flexible surface brings a conductive surface against the contact to produce a signal. Each fragrance dispenser has a housing having an absorbent material therein supporting a fragrance absorbed in the material. Each housing can have long or short capillary tubing or a flexible membrane covering one end thereof and having a slit opening therethrough to allow the egress of a fragrance upon predetermined air pressure entering the housing. The housing can also have a flexible membrane covering the other end for allowing the ingress of air under pressure but blocking the egress of the fragrance therethrough. The source of air can be an oil-free air compressor or a compressed gas in a container.
