Maine Patent of the Month – May 2025
Maine-Lee Technology Group, LLC. has secured U.S. Patent No. 12290618, titled ‘Scent dispensers/absorbers and scent cartridges therefor’, introducing a versatile solution for odor control in various environments. This innovation offers a dual-function device that can both dispense and absorb scents, enhancing air quality management in spaces such as medical facilities, laboratories, and industrial settings.
Dual-Function Scent Management
The patented system features a container with an invertible lid, a vented cage, and a scent cartridge. In its “off” state, the scent cartridge is housed within the container, preventing scent release. By inverting the lid and cage, the system transitions to the ” on” state, allowing the scent cartridge to interact with the surrounding environment, thereby dispensing or absorbing odors as needed.
Innovative Design for Controlled Use
This design ensures that scent management is only active when desired, preventing unnecessary scent dispersion and enhancing control over air quality. The reversible functionality of the device makes it adaptable to various applications, providing a practical solution for environments requiring precise odor control.
Real-World Applications
With this patent, Maine-Lee Technology Group, LLC. offers a product that addresses the need for effective and controlled scent management. The dual-function capability of this device makes it a valuable addition to settings where air quality is critical, contributing to improved environmental conditions and user comfort.
