Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved vapor dispenser and method that may be used for vapor-treating the air of a given area; the air-treating vapors containing such diverse elements as medicants, decongestants, inhalants, repellants, insecticides, bactericides, deodorants, and the like. The disclosed vapor dispenser may be described as a "semistatic" type, since it uses a static vapor generator that does not require a propellant, and uses automatic intermittent air movement for dispensing the accumulated vapors into the area to be treated by the vapors. Thus, the disclosed semistatic vapor dispenser continually provides the desired vapor concentration.An improved static vapor generator is also disclosed, the improvement permitting the static vapor generator to produce vapors at a more uniform rate during its entire lifetime.
