Abstract:
1. A scent delivery system comprising: a reservoir assembly configured to store a liquid fragrance oil; an atomizer complex configured to draw in the liquid fragrance oil from the reservoir assembly, atomize the drawn-in liquid fragrance oil into a scented mist, deliver the scented mist to air outside of the atomizer complex, collect the drawn-in liquid fragrance oil that is not delivered to the air outside of the atomizer complex, and return the collected oil to the reservoir assembly; a funnel-shaped structure having a wide end and a tapered end, the wide end being coupled to the atomizer complex, wherein the funnel-shaped structure is configured to impact the scented mist to coalesce a portion of the scented mist into the collected oil to be returned to the reservoir assembly, and wherein the tapered end of the funnel-shaped structure extends into the reservoir assembly; a drainage tube coupled to the tapered end of the funnel-shaped structure and extending into the reservoir assembly, wherein the drainage tube is configured to, during use, extend into the liquid fragrance oil stored in the reservoir assembly and return the collected oil from the atomizer complex and the funnel-shaped structure to the reservoir assembly; and a vacuum tube configured to suction the liquid fragrance oil from the reservoir assembly to the atomizer complex.
