In an embodiment, as insect trap is disclosed including: a trap portion including a frame and a membrane having an adhesive surface, wherein the membrane is at least partially contained within the frame and is configured to adhere to an insect; and a base portion including a lighting element and a housing portion, wherein the housing portion is configured to receive and retain the trap portion when engaged therewith.

The present invention provides an apparatus for diffusing a chemical substance comprising: a chamber having a diffusing member arranged to diffuse a chemical substance to air disposed within the chamber, wherein the chamber is in communication with an air-inlet arranged to receive air from an exterior of the chamber and an air-outlet arranged to expel air from within the chamber.

The device for evaporating volatile substances comprises a casing (1) provided with a housing for the placement of a refill (2) containing the volatile substances, and is characterised in that said casing (1) comprises a surface (3) provided with at least one coupling element (5) in order to couple an additional element (4), said additional element comprising a frame (7) and a releasable sheet (8). It provides an evaporation device that can be easily customised.

A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.

An electrical heating evaporator for evaporating active substances such as perfumes and/or insecticides, in which the evaporation rate regulator includes an electrical heater resistor for which the power supplied is regulated through a potentiometer constructed on a printed circuit board. The evaporation rate can be adjusted for a wide variety of types of chemical substances, without the need of substantially modifying the design of the device.

A method of attaching a refill to a volatile material dispenser includes the step of providing a volatile material dispenser that includes a housing, a first implement that attaches a refill containing a volatile material to the housing, and a second implement that attaches the refill to the housing, wherein the first and second implements include different features. The method further includes the step of attaching the refill in a first orientation to the volatile material dispenser, wherein in the first orientation, the first implement retains the refill. Still further, the method includes the step of attaching the refill in a second orientation different than the first orientation to the volatile material dispenser, wherein in the second orientation, the second implement retains the refill.

The presently claimed invention contemplates a device comprising a filter configured to direct a vaporized material to an outlet, a housing configured to removably couple to the filter, an induction assembly. The housing comprises a control interface, wherein the control interface receives a user input. The housing further comprises a control module, wherein the control module processes at least one of the user input and a sensor input. The present invention contemplates that the control module can control an execution of a heating protocol in response at least the user input and the sensor input. The induction assembly further comprises an induction element configured to produce an electromagnetic field according to a heating protocol and an inductive element within a threshold distance of the electromagnetic field that is configured to at least partially convert electromagnetic radiation into heat.

The present invention relates to a lighting element including an insect repelling element.

An insecticide fumigator including a chemical cartridge mount on which a chemical cartridge is configured to be mounted, a heater disposed near the chemical cartridge mount and configured to heat the chemical cartridge such that an insecticide in the chemical cartridge is evaporated from a fumigation part of the chemical cartridge, a light source disposed near the fumigation part and configured to emit light having a first wavelength range to attract insects, and a housing provided with the chemical cartridge mount and receiving the heater and the light source, in which the light source includes a UV LED and a substrate on which the UV LED is mounted, and the housing has a light passage hole through which light emitted from the light source passes.

An evaporator is provided, for use with a wicked reservoir containing a volatile liquid. The reservoir has a plurality of guide members disposed symmetrically around the wick and extending beyond the height of the wick. The evaporator features a base containing a battery, and a removable cover containing a heater. Attachment of the cover to the base is necessary to establish an electrical connection between the battery and the heater. The guide members fit into recesses in the cover only when the heater and wick are properly aligned, and the heater cannot make electrical connection with the battery unless the guide members and wick are properly aligned with the recesses and heater, respectively.
