Abstract
A device for evaporating a liquid such as an air freshener or insecticide. The device comprises a housing, and a container disposed in the housing for receiving a liquid. A wick is immersed in the container and there is a heating element disposed in the housing in a fixed manner wherein this heating element is associated with the wick. To adjust the evaporation rate, the container, with the wick, is retained on the sliding part which can be displaced in relation to the housing and is guided with torsional strength. This sliding part is connected via non-linear transmission with an actuation element that can be manually adjusted.

A device for evaporating a liquid such as an air freshener or insecticide comprising:
- a) a housing;
- b) a container supported on said housing and for receiving the liquid;
- c) a wick which is immersed in the liquid in said container;
- d) a heating element that is supported in a fixed manner in said housing adjacent to said container for heating the liquid in the container;
- and
- e) a sliding part coupled to said housing, wherein said sliding part is displaceable in relation to said housing, and is guided axially with said heating element in a non-rotating manner to regulate the evaporation rate of the liquid;
- and said container being coupled to said sliding part.
