Title: Electromechanical apparatus for dispensing volatile substances with single dispensing mechanism and cartridge for holding multiple receptacles
Inventor: JAWORSKI THOMAS
IPC: A01M1/20
Filed: 2005-06-29
Granted: 2010-09-02
Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a volatile substance includes an electromechanical d ispenser (2) attached to a pivot arm (29), and a cartridge (60) for holding a pl urality of reservoirs (31) each containing a volatile substance. The cartridge (60) is rotatable such that any one of the reservoirs (31) can be positioned in an engagement position, in which the volatile substance can be dispensed. The c artridge (60) has a cam feature consisting of a contoured circumferential surfac e that alternately rises and falls. The pivot arm (29) operates in tandem with the cam feature such that, when the cartridge (60) is rotated, the dispenser alt ernately engages and disengages from successive reservoirs (31), and remains out of the path of motion traversed by the reservoirs (31) as the cartridge (60) ro tates from one engagement position to a subsequent engagement position. The ele ctromechanical dispenser (20) may be a piezoelectrically actuated vibratory type liquid atomization apparatus, and the volatile substance may be a fragrance.

Title: A liquid treatment apparatus
Inventor: LAURSEN MICHAEL
IPC: B01D61/06
Filed: 2007-02-08
Granted: 2010-04-01
Abstract: The invention provides a liquid treatment apparatus such as a reverse osmosis apparatus wherein a portion of an inlet liquid permeates through a filter or a membrane e.g. to provide freshwater from saltwater.

Title: Device for machining continuously successively transported, flat objects or an almost endless web of material
Inventor: DAX ROMAN
IPC: B65B51/30
Filed: 2007-03-08
Granted: 2013-01-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for machining continuously successively transported objects or an almost endless web of material, said device comprising tools rotating on a peripheral strip (1). In one embodiment, the tools (2) can be pivoted in a controlled manner in relation to the peripheral strip (1) in such a way that their pivoting position is adapted to the objects to be machined or the material web, in a controlled manner, independently of the orientation of the peripheral strip (1). In another embodiment, the device comprises driving means that can be controlled in such a way that the tools (2) can be simultaneously driven in groups (2.1 and 2.2) or individually at various speeds on the peripheral strip. This is carried out, for example, by two drives, every second tool being coupled to the first drive and the other tools being coupled to the second drive. The tools (2) are embodied, for example, as welder terminals and the device is used for the transversal welding and severing of an almost endless web of material into which a row of successive, interspaced, flat objects (4) is driven. The device is advantageous in that it can be adapted, without mechanical operations and simply by control modifications, to very different distances between the machining operations and to different transport speeds, even when the required machining time and the path required therefor are relatively long.
