Description
Claims
  • 1. A flippable/tiltable non-energised volatile material delivery system for delivery in a continuous manner and boost on demand, the system comprising: A) a delivery engine comprising: i) a liquid comprising at least one volatile material;ii) at least two liquid reservoirs containing said liquid and having said liquid flow path therebetween;iii) a liquid flow retardant situated in the liquid flow path between the at least two liquid reservoirs and wherein the flow retardant has at least one evaporative surface; andB) a housing encasing the delivery engine.
  • 2. A system according to claim 1 wherein the liquid is a perfume composition.
  • 3. A system according to claim 1 wherein the at least two liquid reservoirs are two independent receptacles.
  • 4. A system according to claim 1 wherein the at least two liquid reservoirs are situated one above the other and are connected to the flow retardant by means of an aperture.
  • 5. A system according to claim 1 wherein the flow retardant has a flat configuration.
  • 6. A system according to claim 1 wherein the flow retardant is a wick.
  • 7. A system according to claim 1 wherein the flow retardant is in contact with the membrane.
  • 8. A system according to claim 1 wherein the membrane is vapour permeable and liquid impermeable.
  • 9. A system according to claim 1 wherein the housing comprises apertures for the delivery of the volatile material.
  • 10. A method of delivering a boost of volatile material on demand using the device of claim 1 comprising the step of flipping and/or tilting the device.
