Abstract

A method and apparatus for personal product delivery have been disclosed.

Claims

1. A mixing apparatus comprising:

a first air pump having a first pressurized output and a second pressurized output;

a plurality of reservoirs each having an input and an output, wherein each of said plurality of reservoirs input is directly connected to said first air pump first pressurized output;

a diluent reservoir having an input and an output, wherein said diluent reservoir input is directly connected to said first air pump second pressurized output;

a fluidic mixing chamber having a diluent reservoir input, an air pump input, a plurality of reservoir inputs, and an output, wherein each one of said fluidic mixing chamber plurality of reservoir inputs is connected to a single one of each of said plurality of reservoirs output through two intervening valves, and wherein said diluent reservoir output is connected to said fluidic mixing chamber diluent reservoir input through two diluent intervening valves, and wherein said fluidic mixing chamber air pump input is connected directly to said first air pump second pressurized output;

an accumulation chamber having a first input, a second input, and an output, wherein said accumulation chamber first input is connected to said fluidic mixing chamber output through two fluidic mixing chamber intervening valves, and wherein said accumulation chamber output is connected to a spray nozzle; and

a second air pump having a pressurized output, wherein said second air pump pressurized output is connected to said accumulation chamber second input through two second air pump intervening valves.

2. The mixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein one of said two intervening valves is fluidically situated proximate to each of said plurality of reservoirs output.

3. The mixing apparatus of claim 2 wherein one of said two diluent intervening valves

is fluidically situated proximate to said diluent reservoir output.

4. The mixing apparatus of claim 3 wherein one of said two fluidic mixing chamber intervening valves

is situated proximate to said fluidic mixing chamber output.

5. The mixing apparatus of claim 4 wherein one of said two second air pump intervening valves

is situated proximate to said second air pump pressurized output.
