摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling emission of fragrances into a given area such as a room or a region of a yard; and more particularly the creation of a desired atmosphere within the given area. In addition, the invention involves a volatile substance dispensing device (200) having mounted therein a plurality of reservoirs (31) storing a volatile substance, and a plurality of atomizer assemblies (34) for emitting volatile substances communicated thereto by the reservoirs (31). Preferably, a microcontroller (50) controls the emission of the volatile substances in accordance with preferred programs.
摘要:
An insect control system for controlling insects within a predetermined area (20). The system includes a plurality of insect control devices distributed throughout the predetermined area, the insect control devices including at least one device that emits an insect repellant (24) and at least one spaced apart device that emits an insect attractant (22a-22d). A sensor (26) senses at least one ambient condition and emits one or more corresponding signals to a central control device (30). The central control device (30) is arranged to respond to the corresponding signals and to emit activation signals which control the operation of the insect control devices according to the corresponding signals.
摘要:
Liquid to be atomized is supplied from a wick to the underside of a vibrating orifice plate which pumps the liquid up through atomizing orifices in the plate and ejects the liquid from is upper side; and liquid which is pumped up through the orifices in an elevated region of the plate, but which has not been ejected, is directed back down through larger openings in a lower region of the plate. The liquid also flows back onto the wick which places the liquid in capillary communication along the underside of the plate with the atomizing orifices for reputing and ejection.

A system for mixing and dispensing solution, such as a cleaning solution, includes a body with a first flow passage extending between a diluent inlet and an outlet, and a second flow passage extending between a concentrate inlet and the first flow passage. The system further includes a container for concentrate, with a container including a container valve. Moving the body axially toward the container to seat the body on the container opens the container valve for a flow of concentrate from the container to the first flow passage via the second flow passage. Further, moving the body axially away from the container to unseat the body from the container closes the container valve to the flow of concentrate.

A candle assembly comprises a fuel element having a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, and a channel extending through the fuel element from the first surface to the second surface. A support structure is adapted to support the first surface of the fuel element within a central portion of the support structure. A wick retainer has a flat portion with a centralized conduit extending outwardly from a top surface of the flat portion. A wick has a first end disposed within the wick retainer, wherein the wick and wick retainer are embedded in the fuel element prior to use such that a second end of the wick extends outwardly beyond the second surface of the fuel element.

A volatile material dispenser (20) includes a housing (22) adapted to receive a container (24), wherein the container includes a tilt-activated valve stem (66) with a discharge end. The discharge end of the valve stem is adapted to be in fluid communication with a discharge orifice (40) of the housing. A drive unit (100) is disposed within the housing, wherein the drive unit includes a bi-metallic actuator, a piezo-linear motor, an electro-responsive wire, or a solenoid, which is adapted to impart transverse motion to a body of the container.

A dispenser (10) for use with an air-treating composition to be emitted includes a base having a container support and a mounting surface (50) separate from the container support. A container (30) is coupled to the base container support and adapted to receive the air-treating composition, and a diffuser element (26) is coupled to the base and positioned to disperse the air-treating composition from the container into the surrounding environment. A cover (16) is adapted for attachment to the base mounting surface (50). The container support remains intact when the cover (16) is removed therefrom. The cover (16) may include a frame for holding one of a plurality of substrates carrying different images. In addition, the base may be formed of a plastic material while the cover is formed of a ceramic material.
摘要:
A diffusion device (10) comprises a housing (12) and first and second containers (26,28) disposed within the housing (12) and having first and second wicks, respectively, extending therefrom. The diffusion device (10) further includes first and second active materials disposed in the first and second containers, respectively, and first and second piezoelectric elements disposed adjacent tips of the first and second wicks, respectively. Still further, the diffusion device (10) includes a switch (18) disposed on a top surface of the housing (12), wherein the switch (18) is adapted to control the mode of operation of the device. The device includes first, second, and third modes of operation, wherein in the first mode of operation, the device emits the first active material, in the second mode of operation, the device emits the second active material, and in the third mode of operation, the device alternates between emitting the first and second active materials.
