Abstract: Two associated air treatment compositions are formulated such that when used together they produce a constant emanating composition throughout the life of an air treatment dispenser of the wick type (dispenser). Composition I comprises components (at least two active agents) in their respective intended concentrations and is used to impregnate the evaporation surface and/or wick of the dispenser. Composition II comprises the same components (at least the same two active agents) as the first composition. However, the concentrations of the components in Composition II with respect to Composition I are adjusted such that a constant emanating composition is maintained. The relationship between Composition I and II can be described by equation ##EQU1## where ##EQU2## is composition II and ##EQU3## is composition I. Coefficients c.sub.i can be calculated based on quantitative analysis of composition I and II by means known in the art.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device capable of dispensing an active liquid at a slow substantially constant rate over an extended period of time. The liquid dispenser consists of a sealed flexible bag or pouch containing a supply of the active liquid, a wick located inside a tubular member, and an emanator which diffuses the active liquid. The active liquid supply inside the impermeable bag is kept isolated from the wick prior to use by means of a containment element. Upon removal of the containment member, the active liquid is free to contact the wick, whereby the enclosed tubular wick conveys the active liquid to the emanator for slow dispersion. The sealed reservoir bag gradually collapses inward as the active liquid supply is depleted, obviating the need for a vent. The liquid dispensing device could be used as an air freshener, diffusing a volatile scent-producing liquid into the atmosphere. The device could also be adapted to dispense pharmaceuticals transdermally.

Abstract: An air freshening device having an openable outer housing that, when open, activates the air freshening device by pulling an emanator out of a fluid reservoir and, when closed, seals the fluid reservoir from either evaporation or leakage. The activation and deactivation are accomplished by the use of a hooking pin within the upper housing which engages the emanator portion and pulls the wicking stem of the emanator out of the fluid reservoir. An air channel is exposed in the open position and closed off in the closed position.

Abstract: A controllable air freshener unit in which a bottle filled with a volatile liquid fragrance is covered by a cap having vent holes therein that are covered by an absorbent membrane formed of microporous material disposed on the underside of the cap. When the bottle is placed in an upright position, the level of liquid is more or less below the cap and the membrane then acts as a barrier to prevent the discharge of fragrance vapor from the vented cap, the unit then being in its switched "off" state. When the bottle is placed in an inverted position raised above a supporting surface to expose the vented cap, the liquid then rests on the membrane and impregnates the pores thereof whereby a fragrance vapor is then wafted into the atmosphere and the unit is in its switched "on" state.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the evaporation of a solution into the ambient air. The apparatus contains a reservoir having at least one elastic wall; a first compartment outside the reservoir having an opening to the ambient air; a passage which may be intermittently opened and closed, connecting the reservoir to the first compartment; and, an absorbent material placed on a support which is outside both the reservoir and the first compartment, and which is in contact with the first compartment. By exerting pressure on the elastic wall of the reservoir, solution may be transferred from the reservoir to the first compartment through the passage when it is open. The passage is kept closed during the time intervals between intermittent transfers of the solution. The portion of solution which has been transferred to the first compartment is gradually and continuously transferred to the absorbent material for evaporation to the ambient air.

Abstract: A reversible fragrance emitting unit adapted to rest on a flat surface in either an upright or an upside down position, no fragrance being emitted in one position and fragrance being emitted in the other position, so that a switching action is effected simply by reversing the unit. The unit consists of a vented cylindrical shell closed at its upper end by a cover plate and at its lower end by a bottom wall. Disposed within the shell and secured to the cover plate is an absorbent pad. Joined to the pad is the leading end of a series of interhinged absorbent elements in an accordian formation, the trailing end of the series being joined to a weight whereby when the unit is upside down, the accordian is collapsed on the bottom wall and compressed by the overlying weight, and when the unit is reversed in position and is made upright, the weight drops to the bottom wall, thereby expanding the accordian.
