 Example of emitting a scent

The present invention relates generally to systems and apparatus for emitting a scent to an area, and more specifically to a device utilizing a specially adapted compact disc, digital video disc, or other playback device which includes one or more scent cartridges and means for triggering the scent(s) according to the operation of the prerecorded playback medium. The device provides a scent(s) corresponding to the message (music, story, movie, information, etc.) of the playback medium, thereby providing a more all encompassing sensory effect.


The scent cylinders are arranged concentrically about the central axis of the cylinder, in the manner of the cylinder of a revolver type pistol. The cylinder is selectively rotated to position a single scent cartridge in line with an air source, which blows through the volatile scent cartridge to expel the scent from the device. The Pendergrass device is only capable of emitting a single scent at a time, whereas the present invention can emit multiple scents simultaneously, if so desired. Moreover, the present invention utilizes scent cartridges containing a liquid scent material which is injected into a plenum as a fine mist or vapor, unlike the means used with the Pendergrass scent apparatus.
