Patent number: 9457117Abstract: An assembly for evaporation and dispensing of a volatile liquid. The assembly includes an emanator element and a body member. The emanator element has an open structure with a high surface area and is made of a material that is able to absorb and evaporate volatile liquids. The body member includes a tubular portion which has an interior wall for receiving the emanator element, the latter possibly being therein spaced from the interior wall to allow air flow therethrough. A reservoir of volatile liquid and a wicking member are also provided with the wicking element extending from the emanator element into the volatile liquid. The assembly is further associated with an air moving component for directing air flow though the tubular portion and around and through the open structure of the emanator element, thus carrying evaporated liquid volatiles out of the body member.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Firmenich SAInventors: Nicholas O'Leary, David Granger
