ABSTRACT:
A system for informing potential customers in a sales space of the availability and aroma of an aromatic material by automatically dispersing controlled amounts of the material from a mannequin only when people are sensed to have moved to within a certain proximity with respect to the mannequin. The purpose of causing a limited amount of the material then to be pumped inoffensively into the air is to make those people pleasantly aware of the aroma in the hope that they will be favorably impressed with it and will become actual customers. The system includes a proximity sensor, a pump controlled by the sensor to dispense the aroma through vents in the surface of the mannequin, and a timer to allow the pump to operate only for a certain length of time at each dispersal, no matter how long a person remains within that proximity, and only during certain time limits of the day and certain days of the week.
