  • Publication number: 20240050616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing and/or diffusing volatile substances, comprising a housing (32), a storage tank (33) and an electrical heating device (30). The device further comprises a capillary element (34) which is coupled to the heating element in a heat-transferring manner, the capillary element (34) having a substance-receiving area (35) which is in contact with a substance received in the storage tank (33) and which substance is conveyable to a substance-discharging area (36) of the capillary element (34) at which the substance is dispensed. Furthermore, an air inlet (50) is provided, by means of which ambient air (53) enters from outside the housing (32) and forms a pure air flow (40) in the housing interior.

  • Publication number: 20230048941
    Abstract: A volatile material dispenser includes a housing that defines a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The volatile material dispenser also includes a cylinder that includes an inner wall that defines an opening and an interior edge, a resistor embedded in the cylinder, and a heater chassis that includes an inner wall that defines a passage between an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the heater chassis abuts the interior edge of the cylinder. In addition, the inner wall of the cylinder extends away from the longitudinal axis at a first angle and the inner wall of the heater chassis extends away from the longitudinal axis at a second angle.

  • Patent number: 11554191
    Abstract: A heater arrangement for a volatile material dispenser includes a cylinder defining an opening and a resistor embedded in the cylinder. The dispenser further includes a housing configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The housing includes a first cavity configured to support the heater arrangement. Further, the dispenser is configured such that, when the refill is received within the housing, the opening receives the wick therein so that a radial gap is formed between the heater arrangement and the wick.
