Apparatus for dosing gaseous and/or vaporous substances An apparatus for
dosing gaseous and/or vaporous substances, in particular for generating
varying scents, includes a multitude of packaged storage containers (1)
from which different gases and/or vapors are driven out by a carrier
medium. On their inlet sides, the storage containers are connected to a
common carrier medium manifold (13) via a shut-off device (4) assigned to
each storage container that can be actuated, and on their outlet sides to
a joint homogenization chamber (8). Both the carrier medium manifold and
the homogenization chamber are connected to a carrier medium source using
a regulating valve (5, 9). Check valves (6, 7) are integrated in the gas
passages to the storage container and from the storage container to the
homogenization chamber. A dosing apparatus designed based on this
principle is characterized by low space requirements and materially
separate volume flows that can be exactly timed and dosed.
