Abstract
At least one light socket is electrically connected to a power cord and at least one heated repellant dispersal unit is electrically connected to the power cord and increases an evaporation rate of a repellant drawn by a wick from a fluid pod affixed to the heated repellant dispersal unit.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a power cord;
- at least one light socket electrically connected to the power cord;
- and
- at least one heated repellant dispersal unit electrically connected to the power cord that increases an evaporation rate of a repellant drawn by a wick from a fluid pod affixed to the heated repellant dispersal unit;
- and
- a fluid level indicator float inside the fluid pod and visible from below the of the pod when the power cord is strung across a space above an area where the repellant is dispersed from the heated repellant dispersal unit;
- wherein a dispersal of the repellant provides a repellant zone from the at least one repellant dispersion unit to a ground level below the at least one repellant dispersion unit.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a power cord having a plug for an outlet;
- a plurality of light receptacles supplying power provided by the power cord to a light bulb fitted to an associated light socket;
- a plurality of repellant dispersion ports supplying power provided by the power cord to a resistive heating element in proximity to a repellant contained in a fluid pod, the repellant delivered from the bulb for evaporation by the resistive heating element by a wick placed into the repellant in the fluid pod;
- wherein each of the plurality of light receptacles is spaced apart from the power cord by a respective first transverse power cord joined to the power cord by a respective junction body in which the power cord and the respective first transverse power cords are electrically interconnected;
- and
- wherein a dispersal of the repellant provides a repellant zone from each repellant dispersion port to a ground level below the respective repellant dispersion port.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a common power cord to a plurality of light sockets containing light bulbs and spaced apart along the power cord;
- providing a plurality of heated repellant dispersion ports along the power cord interspersed with the plurality of light sockets on the power cord;
- stringing the common power cord across an area from four to twelve feet above ground level;
- and
- applying electrical power from an outlet to the power cord to provide illumination from the plurality of light sockets and dispersal of a repellant from the heated repellant dispersion ports;
- wherein the dispersal of the repellant provides a repellant zone from each repellant dispersion port to the ground level below the respective repellant dispersion port.
