Figure 9 is an isometric view of the stent of Figure 1; the distribution of n shown in the supplemental condition is shown in Figure 10 as an enlarged cross-sectional view of Figure 8; An enlarged sectional view of the dispenser portion as shown in Fig. 8; attached: ==:: is similar and in its 13th view is an isometric view of different brackets; and Fig. 14 having Fig. 13 is A rear isometric view of a dispensing system of a stent similar to the dispensing system shown in FIG. C Uftr] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to Figure 1.11, the volatile material dispensing system 1 () is disclosed. The dispensing system 10 includes a volatile material dispenser 12, a refillable dispenser holder 14 and a display "16. The dispenser 12 is shown in outline as the interior of the carrier 16 and the dispenser holder 14. Referring particularly to Figures 1, 2, 10 and 11, the dispenser 12 includes a blister, a peripheral flange 20, and an impermeable laminate 22 releasably adhered to the blister 18 and the flange 2〇. The blister 18 includes a non-porous permeable membrane 24 and a cup-like configuration 26. The cup-like structure 26 includes a bottom wall 28 and four side walls 3 that are permeable to the membrane 24 to act as a sealed reservoir to contain the volatile material 32. Explicitly, the cup-like structure 26 consists of a re-used layer of poly(p-phenylene dicarboxylate) (RPET) adhesively adhered to the nylon laminate. The nylon laminate may also include a layer of ethyl ruthenium acetate (EVA) coextruded to each side of the intermediate nylon laminate. In one embodiment, the RPET of the nylon laminate and cup-like structure 26 has a thickness of from about 0.3 mm (0.012 inches) to about 〇.4 mm (0.016 inches). The cup-like structure 26 is generally rectangular and/or square and has a height of from about 3 mm (0.118 inches) to about 5 mm (0.197 inches), from about 50 mm (1.969 inches) to about 60 mm (2.362 inches), and It is about 50mm (1.969 inches) to about 60mm (2.362 inches) wide. The various cup-shaped structures 26 have four side walls 30. The respective side walls 30 each have a height of from about 3 mm (0.118 inches) to about 5 mm (0.197 inches), a width of from about 5 mm (1.969 inches) to about 60 mm (2.362 inches). When a side wall is moved from the bottom wall 28 to the flange 20, the side wall 30 is slightly inclined outward. The bottom wall 28 is also generally rectangular and has a length of from about 48 mm (1.890 inches) to about 58 mm (2_283 inches) and a width of from about 48 mm (1.890 inches) to about 58 mm (2.283 inches). In one embodiment, the side wall 30 and the bottom wall 28 of the cup-like structure 26 are thermoplastically formed from a single piece of rpet and a heated nylon laminate and then blow molded and/or extruded as shown in Figure 2. The flanged cup configuration shown. The cup-like structure 26 is clear and translucent in view of the visibility of the volatile material 32 contained within the blister 18. In a possible embodiment, the cup-like structure 26 can be over-colored and translucent. The peripheral flange 20 is planar and coupled to and extends outwardly from the top edge of the cup-like structure 26. In a real state, the peripheral edge (10) 20 is integrally formed with the cup-like structure 26 from the upper edge of the side wall 3G toward the epitaxial n-edge 2 (), for example, as described in the preceding paragraph. Receptively, the permeable membrane 24 has a thickness of about 0. 〇 5 mm (〇. 〇〇 2 英 hours) to about 〇 15 15 (6 inches thick, and has a side of about 0.88 to 〇 · 95 grams Or a similar method. The seal is substantially airtight, (10) the gas or volatile material 32 is leaked. The volatile material 32 does not completely fill the space within the blister 18. After the blister 18 is created, the content of the dispenser 12 can then be stored. A relatively small amount of air. For example, the air in the sealed blister 18 does not exceed about 3% to (10)% of the total volume of the blister. When the volatile material 32 diffuses out of the dispenser a, little or no air can pass through. The permeable membrane 24 enters the blister 18. In one embodiment, the 'curable film #24 is configured to be secret and collapsed with relatively little or no bubble formation. When the dispenser 12 is full and the impermeable laminate 22 is covered When the membrane 24 is permeable, substantially no diffusion of the volatile material 32 occurs. Explicitly, by grasping the end of the impermeable stack #22 and peeling it off the blister, it is not possible. The permeable laminate 22 is removed from the material 18. The short projections 34, extensions, or other means for grasping can be included as * The extension of the delamination sheet 22 to assist in the removal of the impermeable laminate A may extend over the corners, ends and/or surfaces of the impermeable laminate η. After the impermeable laminate 22 is removed, the dispensing system U) begins Transition from full or first condition (Fig. 8 and _) to empty or second condition (Fig. 11). There may be a small amount of volatile material 32 remaining in the blister 18, and the dispenser will still be considered to reach the second condition. #VOLUTION η permeable through the permeable, 24 diffusion, the permeable membrane 24 slowly lion wall 28 . Referring to the 11®' after the volatile material across the permeable membrane 24 is dispersed, there is less volatility material 32 in the distribution H12. Substantially no new air enters the distributor 12 after the volatile material 32 has diffused. The result of this is a force gradient across the permeable membrane 24, and the pressure present in the surrounding 1379262 air is higher than the pressure in the dispenser 12. The pressure gradient causes a net positive pressure on the sub-tank 12 of the surrounding air, and the positive pressure presses the permeable membrane 24 against the remaining volatile material - and finally against the bottom (4). Continued diffusion of the volatile material 32 increases the application. Above the permeable membrane, this force causes the remaining volatile material 32 to migrate from the center of the bottom wall 28 to the periphery of the bottom wall lake. Continued migration and diffusion of the volatile material 32 results in increased surface area contact between the permeable membrane 24 and the bottom wall 28 until the dispenser a is emptied

The resulting pressure gradient resulting from the migration of the volatile material 32 can also be considered as a result of the increasing compression vacuum of the distributor i2 memory as the volatile material 32 continues to spread across the permeable photo%. When the dispenser 12 is almost empty, a small amount of volatile material 32 may remain in the dispenser 12. The volatile material 32 will typically be present in the form of an annular appearance (not shown) near the bottom wall. However, in other embodiments, the pressure gradient between the ambient air and the interior of the dispenser 12 is reduced, thereby reducing the tendency of the remaining volatile material 32 to form a ring-like appearance. In still other embodiments, the concentration of certain thickeners leaves the remaining volatile material 32 in a crystalline appearance. In a implementation, (4) and the thickener combine to form about 1% to 3% of the total volatile material η of the distribution system (IV) under the first condition. In various embodiments, the dye and _ combine to account for about 2% of the distribution line _ total volatile material _ component under the first condition. When the dispenser 12 is almost empty, the dye has two more components in the volatile material 32 because the dye utilized does not readily diffuse across the permeable membrane 24. The higher accumulation of dye results in a more observable, ring-like appearance. Because of the increased concentration of the dye material, the color of the ring-like image 12 1379262 is stronger than the hue of the first condition. Under the second condition, the thickener and dye account for almost all of the material remaining in the dispenser 12. Of course, this can vary depending on the particular dye component and thickener utilized in the volatile material 32. The display frame 16 is a side wall 36 having four substantially equal dimensions (Figs. 1, 5, 4, and 5), a front surface 38 (Figs. 4 and 5), and a rear surface 4 (Figs. 1 and 3). Rectangular structure. In one embodiment, display frame 16 has a thickness in the range of about 12 mm (0.472 inches) to about 22 mm (0.866 inches), and a range of about 70 mm (2.756 inches) to about 9 inches (3.543 inches). Height and width. In another embodiment, display frame 16 has a thickness of about 16 mm (0.630 10 inches) and a height and width of about 86 mm (3.386 inches). In one embodiment, front surface 38 of display frame 16 has a surface area greater than or equal to about 3000 mm2. The front surface 38 of the display frame 16 includes a recess 42. The recess 42 is defined by a recessed S-shaped wall 44 and the square depression is defined by four side walls 46 and a bottom wall 48. The recess 42 defines a frame around which the display frame 16 surrounds and forms the bottom wall 48 of the recess 42. An eighth diagram showing a cross-sectional view of the dispensing system 10 shows walls 44 and 46 defining recesses 42 having steps and curves in the form of decorative frames. The recess 42 is positioned in the center of the front surface 38 and disposed away from the side wall 36. Front face 38 appears as a boundary extending around the edge defining groove 42, wherein front face 20 face 38 has a constant width in the range of from about 5 mm (0.197 inch) to about 20 mm (0.787 inch). In various embodiments, the front surface 38 can be planar and free of grooves. In yet another embodiment, a single stepped groove is provided. In still another embodiment, a multi-pole recess is provided. In any of the embodiments described herein, the sidewall defining the recess can include a curved and/or shaped 13 1379262 that is engraved into the central portion of the bottom 56 of the central recess 54. Although the image is a tree, any graphic or text image may be disposed on the back surface 40. Processes such as printing, shaping, molding or screen printing can be used to place image 62 on rear surface 40. In another possible embodiment, image 62 can be positioned on either of front surface 38, 5 rear surface 40 or a plurality of locations on dispenser 12. The display frame 16 can be constructed from a variety of components, including glass or injection molding compounds such as copolyester resins. Explicitly, the display frame 16 is constructed from clear and transparent molded glass. Thus, the cup-like structure 26 is visible through the transparent front surface 38. As noted above, it is contemplated that the visibility of the volatile material 10 contained within the blister 18 can be clear and translucent. In various embodiments, at least one of display frame 16 and cup-like structure 26 is tinted. Figures 1, 3 and 3 to 9 disclose refill brackets 64 for attachment to the rear surface 40 of the display frame 16. The refill bracket 64 includes a U-shaped mounting member 66. The U I5 shaped mounting member 66 is attached to the outer periphery of the rear surface 40 and includes a base member 68 that extends longitudinally across the lower portion 70 of the rear surface 40. The side members 72 extend upwardly from the base member 68 along the circumference of the rear surface 40. The side members 72 extend approximately one-half the distance between the lower portion 70 and the upper portion 74 of the rear surface 40. The u-shaped mounting member 66 in turn includes an inner extension wall % attached thereto. The inner extension wall % forms a lip around the U 20 shaped mounting member 66. A channel 78 is formed in the space between the inner extension wall 76 and the rear surface 40. More specifically, the channel 78 is formed in the space between the inner extension wall % and the portion defining the rear surface 40 of the peripheral groove 52. The additional bracket 64 is attached to the rear surface 4 by adhesive, however, any other type of securing means is considered to be within the scope of the present disclosure. 15 1379262 The charging bracket 64 is placed on a frame of various sizes or provides a tighter or looser fit of the dispenser 12 within the refill bracket 64, for example, the spacing between the inner extension wall 76 and the shallow peripheral groove 52 Modifications or side members 72 can be lengthened or shortened. Figures 13 and 14 disclose a dispensing system 84 that mounts different refill brackets 86 to the rear surface 4 of the display frame 16. The refill bracket 86 includes opposing first side members 88 and second side members 9A, respectively. Each of the first side jaw member 88 and the second side member member 9 includes an epitaxial mounting flange 92, 94 that is bonded or otherwise secured to the rear surface 40 of the display frame 16 adjacent the side wall 36 thereof. The first L-shaped bracket 96 and the second L-shaped bracket 98 are integrally formed with the mounting flanges 92, 94, respectively, and extend rearward therefrom. Each of the L-shaped brackets 96, 98 includes a rear extension wall 〇, a 〇2, and an inner extension wall 〇4, ι6, respectively. The first short projections 1 and 8 and the second short projections 110 are integrally formed with the bracket 96 and extend inwardly therefrom to the opposite side members 90. Similarly, the third short projection 112 and the fourth short projection 114 are integrally formed with the bracket 98 and extend inwardly therefrom to the opposite side member 88. The first channel 116 is formed in the first short projection 1〇 In the space between the 8 and the second short 11 〇 and the inner extension wall 104, the second channel 118 is formed in the space between the third short protrusion η] and the fourth short protrusion 114 and the inner extension wall 106. The base member 12A is integrally formed with the first side member 88 and the second side member 90 and includes a shelf member 122 and an upper extension lip 124. 2〇 * Refill bracket 86 allows dispenser 12 to be removed from frame 16 and a replacement dispenser (not shown) placed within frame 16. For example, the dispenser U of Figure 14 is removed from the dispensing system by grasping the portion of the distributor U peripheral flange 20 adjacent the upper portion 74 of the display frame 16 and pushing the dispenser 12 upward and outward from the refill bracket 86. 84 removed. The dispenser 12 or replacement dispenser (not shown) is placed into the refill bracket 86 by grasping the end of the dispenser 12 and causing the cup-shaped structure 26 toward the rear surface 40 of the frame 16. The dispenser 12 slides down into the first channel 116 and the second channel 118 such that the peripheral flange 20 fits substantially rigidly therein. When the dispenser 12 contacts the shelf 122 and is disposed between the upper extension lips 124 and 5 rear surface 40, the dispenser 12 is fully disposed within the refill bracket %. In other words, when the dispenser 12 is fully disposed within the refill bracket 86, the cup structure 26 does not substantially enter the stepped recess 50. The cup-shaped structure 26 may not enter the stepped p-type groove 50 at all depending on the size of the various components including the refill bracket 86. The refill bracket % can be attached to any of the dispensing systems disclosed herein or modified to reduce contact between the support surface and the volatile material 32 when the display frame 16 is flipped over. In other words, the supplemental stent 86 can be constructed and/or colored using any material in accordance with the disclosure herein. Further, any additional modifications disclosed herein can be made to the present supplemental stent 86 in a similar manner. For example, the refill bracket 86 can be sized to accommodate various sizes of dispensing systems to provide a tighter and looser fit in the first channel 116 and the second channel 118 to lengthen or shorten the first side. The member member 88 and the second side member 90' or the rear surface 40 of the display frame 16 are spaced from the support surface if the display frame 16 is turned over. Still another non-exclusive alternative to the bracket 86 includes the provision of differently shaped or differently positioned short projections 108, 110, 112, 114. Again, the number of short projections can be increased or decreased to provide equal or unequal numbers of short projections on the opposing side members 88,90. Industrial Applicability The volatile material dispensing system described herein advantageously provides a refilling fragrance 19 1379262 fragrance dispenser. Therefore, the user can easily replace the waste fragrance dispenser without discarding the entire dispenser system. Those having ordinary skill in the art will be aware of many modifications as they read the foregoing description. Accordingly, the description is to be construed as illustrative only and illustrative of the embodiments of the invention All rights reserved for all modifications falling within the scope of the patent application in question.
