  • Publication number: 20210300654
    Abstract: A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line and the second portion includes a second primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion proximate the first fold line, and ending in a tab that extends from the second primary edge. In a folded state, the first primary edge is aligned with the second primary edge.

  • Publication number: 20210086220
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210002037
    Abstract: A container system includes a container having a plurality of sidewalls and a rim extending from the sidewalls at a top of the container. The rim of the container includes a first sealing part and a second sealing part. Parts of the rim extend along arcs as viewed from above the container. The container system also includes a lid for sealing the container, with the lid having a rim that includes a first sealing part that is configured to contact the first sealing part of the rim of the container to form a first sealing area, and a second sealing part that is configured to contact the second sealing part of the rim of the container to form a second sealing area. Parts of the rim of the lid extend along arcs as viewed from above the lid. The container may be tightly sealed by the lid.

  • Publication number: 20200331679
    Abstract: A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge opposite the first fold line. First and second secondary edges extend between the first fold line and the first primary edge, and an attachment mechanism is provided adjacent the first primary edge. The second portion includes a second primary edge opposite the first fold line. Third and fourth secondary edges extend between the first fold line and the second primary edge. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion closer to the first fold line than the second primary edge, and ending in a tab that extends beyond a distal end of the second primary edge.

  • Patent number: 10764963
    Abstract: A volatile material dispenser includes a housing configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick, the housing including a first cavity supporting a heater arrangement and a second, separate cavity supporting a fan arrangement for dispersing a vapor plume of the volatile material. The first cavity is substantially unobstructed between an upper, interior surface of the housing and an upper surface of the heater arrangement. The housing also includes an aperture through which the vapor plume exits the housing and a plurality of openings through which air from the fan arrangement directs the vapor plume away from the aperture. When a refill is received within the hosing, the upper surface of the heater arrangement is disposed nearer the aperture than a distal end of the wick, and a radial gap is formed between the heater arrangement and the wick.

  • Patent number: 10238097
    Abstract: Devices for dispensing an air treatment chemical such as insect repellent are disclosed. There is a chimney housing having a side wall defining an internal cavity. There is also a caddy assembly supported by the housing and having an upper caddy frame configured to mount a substrate bearing an air treatment chemical adjacent an upper portion of the housing, and a candle holder coupled to the upper caddy frame and configured to support a candle having a wick adjacent a lower portion of the housing. There is also a substrate bearing air treatment chemical suitable to be supported by the upper caddy frame, and a candle suitable to be supported by the candle holder. A refill kit for such devices is also disclosed. Also disclosed is an embodiment with a sand core bearing the repellent, a heat deflector positioned under the sand core, and a candle positioned under the heat deflector.
