A scent dispensing apparatus having a spool engaged with a housing for dispensing a scented line upon the ground. The scented line is wound upon the spool which is positionable between a retracted position inside a cavity of the housing to a deployed position outside the housing where the spool can unwind the scented line.

A volatile material dispenser includes a base that houses a printed circuit board, a stand assembly that is coupled with the base, the stand assembly including a platform, a stand that extends from the platform, and a manifold that extends from the stand, the manifold containing a circular piezoelectric element. The dispenser further includes a shroud that is coupled with the stand assembly and defines a chimney, and a refill comprising a wick, the refill being removably coupled with the manifold. The manifold includes a cylindrical wall that extends upward from the manifold, a spring is disposed within the manifold and is coaxial with the cylindrical wall, and a top end of the spring is wrapped around the cylindrical wall and a bottom end of the spring applies a force against the piezoelectric element.

The present invention relates to a device for dispersing a volatile liquid comprising: a wick; a solid support; and a volatile liquid; wherein the wick is attached to the solid support; wherein the solid support is porous; and wherein the volatile liquid is contained within pores in the solid support. The invention also relates to methods of making such a device.

A device for generating a scented mist of an atomized liquid fragrance oil includes an atomizer complex, a reservoir assembly, a drainage tube, and a vacuum tube. The atomizer complex can atomize the liquid fragrance oil into a scented mist and deliver the scented mist to air outside of the atomizer complex, where the liquid fragrance oil the fragrance oil that is not atomized into the scented mist delivered to the air outside of the atomizer complex includes collected oil that is collected and drained to a reservoir assembly. A drainage tube extends from a bottom area of the atomizer complex into the liquid fragrance oil. The device can filter the liquid fragrance oil in the reservoir assembly and the collected oil from the atomizer complex that drained down the drainage tube. The vacuum tube can suction the filtered liquid fragrance oil and the collected oil into the atomizer complex for atomization.

Exemplary embodiments of a mister of the current invention comprise a reservoir, a spacer, and a dispenser assembly. A spacer fixedly joins the reservoir to the dispenser assembly a set distance. A liquid stored within the reservoir is configured to exit the reservoir at the valve through the spacer and impinge the dispenser assembly.

The dispenser assembly includes a dispenser and a motor, the motor providing a rotational force for application to the dispenser. The dispenser presents an axis oriented to the liquid stream flow from the reservoir. Upon liquid stream flow impinging the rotating dispenser, the centrifugal force causes the liquid stream flow to spread radially from the dispenser to the air and/or surface in the target area, where it is dispersed outwardly over a target area, atomized or as droplets.

Insecticide dispensing devices and methods of the present technology provide for the prolonged release of insecticide for the eradication of insect populations. Insecticide dispensing devices include an attractive toxic sugar bait, and have a housing configured with at least one aperture to allow a gaseous compound to exit the internal cavity and sized to allow entry of a target insect into the internal cavity. Methods of insecticide dispensing include activating the attractive toxic sugar bait in the device, and placing the activated device in an area where insects are present.

A device for generating a scented mist of an atomized liquid fragrance oil includes an atomizer complex, a reservoir assembly, a drainage tube, and a vacuum tube. The atomizer complex can atomize the liquid fragrance oil into a scented mist and deliver the scented mist to air outside of the atomizer complex, where the liquid fragrance oil the fragrance oil that is not atomized into the scented mist delivered to the air outside of the atomizer complex includes collected oil that is collected and drained to a reservoir assembly. A drainage tube extends from a bottom area of the atomizer complex into the liquid fragrance oil. The device can filter the liquid fragrance oil in the reservoir assembly and the collected oil from the atomizer complex that drained down the drainage tube. The vacuum tube can suction the filtered liquid fragrance oil and the collected oil into the atomizer complex for atomization.

A volatile composition dispenser includes a housing having opposing first and second walls that are joined along their peripheries to one another. The first wall has an aperture and the second wall has a plurality of apertures. Within the housing, rests a volatile composition cartridge and a gap, which exists between the cartridge and a bottom surface of the housing, wherein said bottom surface is formed from a joinder of a base portion of one or both of the first and second walls, and wherein, upon activation, the exposure percentage of the dispenser is from about 40% to about 90%; wherein at least about 60% of the total surface area of the plurality of apertures results from individual apertures of said plurality that each have an area of at least 30 mm.sup.2 and an aspect ratio of at least about 1:2. Dispenser of a similar housing, cartridge, and gap when is activated by a user and thirty days after said activation, exhibits about 70% to 90% weight loss of said volatile composition of a partially exposed membrane of a fully exposed membrane.

A liquid diffusion device, comprising: a liquid storage container for receiving liquid; a core capable of being putted into the liquid storage container for sucking the liquid within the liquid storage container; and a diffusion sheet being formed by a porous material, and installed at an upper side of the liquid storage container to be in contact with the core; thereby, the core can suck the liquid within the liquid storage container and then the liquid is transferred to the diffusion sheet continuously. The diffusion sheet is sintered glass with pores, or is formed by compressing and solidifying alloy powders with a plurality of pores for remaining therein. The outer container is installed with an upper cover which covers or screws on the outer container. The diffusion sheet has a regular shape or an irregular shape.

A volatile substance evaporation device includes a constant evaporation chamber (2) housing a liquid with volatile substances, an enhanced evaporation chamber (3) and an evaporation membrane (5) through which the volatile substances evaporate. The enhanced evaporation chamber (3) includes an absorbent body (6) therein. The inclusion of the absorbent body (6) enhances the evaporation rate in a simple manner and allows the enhanced evaporation to be substantially constant.
