Abstract

Inventive embodiments disclosed herein refer to a fragrance dispenser. The fragrance dispenser includes an enclosure having a base and a top portion, including a spray actuator. The fragrance dispenser also includes two or more bottles enclosed in the enclosure, each bottle having a top pump portion and a bottom portion. Two or more fragrances are enclosed in the two or more bottles, one fragrance per bottle. Two or more pumps, one pump per bottle are positioned within the pump portion of each of the two or more bottles. A manifold includes connector passages that connect all of the pumps to the spray actuator. At least two cams, both of which are enclosed by the enclosure are positioned adjacent the base of the enclosure, wherein the two cams together contact all of the two or more bottles, wherein movement of the cams produces movement of one or more of the pumps up or down. The fragrance dispenser also includes one or more dials for adjusting the position of each of the cams.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fragrance dispenser, comprising:
an enclosure having a base and a top portion, the top portion including a spray actuator;

two or more fragrances enclosed in the two or more bottles, one fragrance per bottle;
two or more pumps, one pump per bottle, within the pump portion of each of the two or more bottles;
a manifold comprising connector passages that detachably connect all of the pumps to the spray actuator;
two cams, which are enclosed by the enclosure and positioned adjacent the base of the enclosure, wherein the cams contact at least one of the bottles, wherein movement of the cams produces movement of one or more of the pumps in accordance with length of the movement of the cams; and
one or more dials for adjusting a position of each of the cams.

2. The fragrance dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the cams move one or more of the bottles up or down.

3. The fragrance dispenser of claim 1 , wherein a stroke of each of the pumps is movable in accordance to the positioning of each of the bottles by the position of the cams.

4. The fragrance dispenser of claim 3 , wherein when the spray actuator is actuated, each of the pumps of the bottles delivers fragrance in accordance with a length of the stroke that is determined by the position of the cams.

5. The fragrance dispenser of claim 3 wherein a length of the stroke is variable.

6. The fragrance dispenser of claim 4 wherein the stroke length is variable.

7. The fragrance dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure encloses three bottles.

8. The fragrance dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the top portion of the enclosure comprises a collar and a cap, the cap hingedly movable over the spray actuator.

9. The fragrance dispenser of claim 8 , wherein the collar, cap, spray actuator and manifold are detachable from the enclosure.

10. A fragrance dispenser, comprising:
an enclosure having a base and a top portion, the top portion including a spray actuator;
three bottles enclosed in the enclosure, each bottle having a top pump portion and a bottom portion;
three fragrances enclosed in the three bottles, one fragrance per bottle;
three pumps, one pump per bottle, within the pump portion of each of the three bottles;
a manifold comprising connector passages that detachably connect all of the pumps to the spray actuator;
two cams, which are enclosed by the enclosure and positioned adjacent the base of the enclosure, wherein each of the cams contacts one of the bottles, wherein movement of the cams produce movement of two of the pumps in accordance with length of the movement of each of the two cams; and
two dials for adjusting a position of each of the two cams.

11. The fragrance dispenser of claim 10 , wherein the three bottles include two outer bottles, adjacent the enclosure and an inner bottle.
