Abstract
An insect repellant device including a repellant portion and a light portion with a simulated flame and constant light option.
Claims18
An insect repellant device comprising:
- a stake configured to be removably inserted into the ground;
- a post extending upward from the stake;
- a repellant portion mounted in a top of the post and including an insect repellant and configured to disperse vaporized insect repellant around the insect repellant device;
- a light portion mounted on top of the repellant portion, the light portion including a plurality of flickering light sources configured to simulate a flame;
- a control circuit operably connected to the repellant portion and the light portion to control activation of the repellant portion to provide vaporized insect repellant and the plurality of flickering light sources to provide light;
- and
- a power source electrically connected to the repellant, portion, the light portion and the control circuit;
- wherein the plurality of flickering light sources include:
- a first group of flickering light sources that are controlled by the control circuit to turn on and off together, and a second group of flickering light sources that are controlled by the control circuit to dim and brighten together, wherein the second group of flickering light sources are positioned below the first group of flickering light sources.
