Scent producing apparatus

摘要

A scent producing apparatus constituted of: a control circuitry; a plate exhibiting at least one release port extending from a first face of the plate to a second face of the plate opposing the first face; at least one scent reservoir in communication with the first face of the plate; a controllable scent release mechanism associated with each scent reservoir and arranged to release a controlled quantity of the contents of the associated scent reservoir through a release port to the second face of the plate; and a vibrator responsive to the control circuitry and in communication with the plate, wherein the control circuitry is arranged to: control each controllable scent release mechanism to release a controlled quantity of the contents of the associated scent reservoir through the release port to the second face of the plate; and vibrate the plate to thereby atomize the released contents.

1. A scent producing apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a control circuitry; a plate exhibiting at least one release port extending from a first face of said plate to a second face of said plate opposing said first face; at least two scent reservoirs in communication with said first face of said plate; a controllable scent release mechanism associated with each scent reservoir and arranged to release a controlled quantity of the contents of the associated scent reservoir through said at least one release port to said second face of said plate; and a vibrator responsive to said control circuitry and in communication with said plate, wherein said control circuitry is arranged to: control each controllable scent release mechanism to release a controlled quantity of the contents of the associated scent reservoir through said at least one release port to said second face of said plate; and vibrate said plate to thereby atomize the released contents of said at least one scent reservoir, wherein each controllable scent release mechanism further comprises: a scent release micro-needle, in communication with said first face of said plate, extending longitudinally from a base end to a tip end, and arranged to mate with a respective release port; and a scent release translation mechanism in communication with said scent release micro-needle and responsive to said control circuitry, wherein said control circuitry is further arranged to translate, via said scent release translation mechanism, said scent release micro-needle in relation to said plate from a first position, wherein said scent release micro-needle is seated within the respective release port, to a second position wherein said scent release micro-needle is at least partially removed from a wall of said respective release port, and wherein said control of each controllable release mechanism to release a controlled quantity of the contents of the associated scent reservoir is responsive to the respective scent release micro-needle being in said second position.
