Dual functional dispensers, wherein the dispensers comprise dispensing units independently capable of dispensing an actively dispersed spray or an evaporative long term dispersible material, comprise active dispensers in combination with passive dispensers of volatile materials. The passive dispenser may comprise the external shell of said dual function dispenser, and may be fashioned of a porous ceramic, plastic, or paper material impregnated with an evaporative passively dispersible material selected from the group consisting of fragrances, air fresheners, deodorizers, odor eliminators, malodor counteractants, insecticides, insect repellants, medicinal substances, disinfectants, sanitizers, mood enhancers, and aroma therapy compositions. The actively dispersed material may be the same or different. Refill units for such dispensers may comprise a spray can and associated control means, and an evaporative dispenser of dispersible material, provided either separately or as an integral unit.
A multiple capacity dispenser for dispersible materials, said dispenser comprising the combination of:
A multiple function dispenser, said dispenser comprising at least one spray dispenser having a first reservoir for a spray dispersible material and means to dispense said spray dispersible material to the atmosphere, a gel cartridge dispenser comprising a second reservoir for a volatile passively dispersible material and means to control vaporization of said volatile passively dispersible material, and means to join said spray dispenser and said gel cartridge dispenser.
A dispensing package for dispensing dispersible materials, said package comprising an outer shell, and a dispensing unit which fits within said outer shell, said dispensing unit comprising an actively dispersible material and means for dispensing said actively dispersible material, said outer shell comprising a passive dispenser containing a volatile passively dispersible material, said outer shell being adapted to receive and cooperatively engage said dispensing unit.
A multiple capacity dispenser for dispersible materials, said dispenser comprising the combination of
A refill unit for a multiple capacity dispenser of dispersible materials, said refill unit comprising a reservoir containing an actively dispersible material, said refill unit being adapted to cooperatively engage an external passive dispenser of a passively dispersible volatile material.
