A novel apparatus for producing combined presentation of light and aroma to produce a desired overall sensory effect. The includes a fragrance dispenser (31), a light source (42), an audio system (52), and a microprocessor (99). The fragrance dispenser (31) is refillable and controllable, so as to adjust the rate at which the fragrance dispenser dispenses a fragrance. The light source (42) comprises a plurality of LEDs (40a-40c) of at least two different colors and is controllable so as to adjust the operation of the plurality of LEDs (40a-40c). The audio system (52) controls sounds to be emitted from the apparatus. The microprocessor (99) controls the rate at which the fragrance dispenser (31) dispenses fragrance and the operation of the light source (42) and audio system (52).

Coordinated emission of fragrance, light, and sound

A distribution device for distributing volatile fluids in air. In an exemplary embodiment, the distribution device includes a wick formed of a solid material which is impregnated with a volatile fluid, such as a scented liquid, a disinfectant, a fungicide, an anti-allergenic substance, an insect repellant, or an insecticide, for example. In another embodiment, the device includes a substantially hollow, tubular shaped wick which includes a portion that is exposed to the surrounding environment and a portion that is in liquid communication with a liquid reservoir containing a volatile fluid. The wick is positioned in the liquid reservoir and in a close fitting engagement with an open end of the liquid reservoir. The hollow configuration of the wick provides a greater exposed surface area to enhance the evaporation of the liquid into the surrounding environment.

An electrically operated diffuser has a fragrance-emitting element (8) for facilitating diffusion of an active material, and at least one light emitting diode (7). The at least one light emitting diode (7) serves as a nightlight and has a luminous intensity rating of at least about 5000 mcd at 20 mA. Also, the at least one light emitting diode (7) may be positioned at a back surface of the diffuser, such that when an active material is received in the compartment the at least one light emitting diode (7) shines through the active material. The diffuser may include a remote-use assembly to supply power to the diffuser from a wall socket remote from the diffuser. The diffuser may also include a light controller to change one or more of the color and the intensity of the at least one light emitting diode (7).

A mouth rinsing device comprising a pump housing and a reservoir. These two housings are arranged in series; i.e., the reservoir is attached to the base of the pump housing. A riser tube having a head on its end is situated on the pump housing and is fixed there by means of a lock so that only the head protrudes. When the reservoir is attached the lock is simultaneously released, so that the riser tube is able to slide into the reservoir and the intake opening is situated just above the base. After the reservoir is removed, the riser tube may be pushed in again manually. The riser tube is subsequently fixed in the retracted position by locking the head to the base of the pump housing.

According to embodiments of the present invention, a flameless candle (200) includes a housing (210), a reservoir (260), and a lamp (250). The reservoir can retain a fragrant source (e.g., solid, liquid, or mix thereof. The housing has a hollow region and a recessed area within the top surface of the housing. The recessed area is bounded by a bottom surface (214) and a sidewall (216). There is one or more vent holes in the sidewall. If there is a plurality of vent holes, then they may encircle the sidewall. The vent hole(s) allow an airflow from the hollow region and into the recessed area above the fragrant source. The lamp can emit a light through the bottom surface of the recessed area and through fragrant source.

A toilet paper roll holder vapor-dispensing device configured with an internal material delivery system and high intensity volatizable material. A toilet paper roll holder vapor-dispensing device is configured with adjustable vents and may be configured to have a tamper proof material delivery system. The device may also be configured to increase dispensation of a fragrance when toilet paper is taken off the toilet paper roll through a number of configurations such as using high intensity fragrance (e.g., scented oil). The toilet paper roll holder is configured to be substantially stationary when toilet paper is removed from a roll of toilet paper supported by the holder.

Methods and apparatus for toilet paper roll holder vapor dispenser

A passive vapor dispersing device which may be used for freshening or otherwise treating the air, characterized by both rapid and substantially linear delivery of volatizable fragrance or other materials. The device uses a packaged combination of liquid reservoir, wick and emanator which is assembled and shipped with the wick and emanator out of contact with each other, but is activated when the user opens the package and places the wick and emanator in contact. The housing for the device provides guide means for assisting the user in placing the wick and emanator in proper contact, and irreversible lock means for holding the components in contact and preventing access to the wick and emanator once activation has been achieved.

An air purifier (100) having dimensions that enable the air purifier to be more discrete is disclosed. The air purifier (100) also includes components that enable the air purifier to mimic a particular environment in which the air purifier may be placed. In addition, the air purifier includes electrical plugs such that the air purifier is able to be plugged into a traditional wall outlet and the components enable the air purifier to mimic the appearance and function of the wall outlet. Furthermore, the air purifier includes one or more modules to sanitize incoming air (110), facilitate air flow through the air purifier, and/or dispense scented vapors (130).
