Abstract
An apparatus for directing a vaporized substance into a space. The apparatus has a base with operating components capable of converting a liquid substance into a vapor, and a substance supply container that is separable from the base. The substance supply container in an operative state in relationship to the base delivers a supply of a substance therein in liquid form to the operating components on the base to be vaporized thereby. Vapor generated by the operating components is directed into a space within which the apparatus is located. The base and substance supply container cooperatively simulate the appearance of at least one of an animate or inanimate object.
Claims32
An apparatus for directing a vaporized substance into a space, the apparatus comprising:
- a base,
- the base having operating components capable of converting a liquid substance into a vapor;
- and
- a substance supply container that is separable from the base,
- the substance supply container in an operative state in relationship to the base delivering a supply of a substance therein in liquid form to the operating components on the base to be vaporized thereby so that vapor generated by the operating components is directed into a space within which the apparatus is located,
- wherein the base and substance supply container each has a shape and adornment thereon that are at all times exposed and simulate the shape and appearance of a part of at least one of an identifiable animate or inanimate object.
An apparatus for directing a vaporized substance into a space, the apparatus comprising:
- a base,
- the base having operating components capable of converting a liquid substance into a vapor;
- and
- a substance supply container that is separable from the base,
- the substance supply container in an operative state in relationship to the base delivering a supply of a substance therein in liquid form to the operating components on the base to be vaporized thereby so that vapor generated by the operating components is directed into a space within which the apparatus is located,
- wherein the base has a bottom that can be placed upon a support surface and with the container in the operative state the substance supply container is situated on top of the base,
- wherein the apparatus has a height and a majority of the height of the apparatus is shaped and adorned to simulate the shape and appearance of an identifiable living being with a head,
- the vapor generated by the operating components controllably directed to thereby give the appearance that vapor is emanating from the simulated head.
An apparatus for directing a vaporized substance into a space, the apparatus comprising:
- a base,
- the base having operating components capable of converting a liquid substance into a vapor;
- and
- a substance supply container that is separable from the base,
- the substance supply container in an operative state in relationship to the base delivering a supply of a substance therein in liquid form to the operating components on the base to be vaporized thereby so that vapor generated by the operating components is directed into a space within which the apparatus is located,
- wherein at least a part of the apparatus is adorned to simulate the shape and appearance of at least one of an animate and inanimate object,
- wherein the substance supply container has a main body with a U-shaped lifting handle that can be grasped by a user to lift the substance supply container,
- wherein the substance supply container comprises an adornment piece that can be placed upon the main body to at least partially cover the lifting handle, the adornment piece simulating the shape and appearance of a part of the at least one of an identifiable animate and inanimate object.
An apparatus for directing a vaporized substance into a space, the apparatus comprising:
- a base,
- the base having operating components capable of converting a liquid substance into a vapor;
- and
- a substance supply container,
- the substance supply container in an operative state in relationship to the base delivering a supply of a substance therein in liquid form to the operating components on the base to be vaporized thereby so that vapor generated by the operating components is directed into a space within which the apparatus is located,
- wherein at least part of the apparatus is adorned to simulate the shape and appearance of at least one of an animate and inanimate object,
- wherein the substance supply container comprises an adornment piece that simulates the shape and appearance of at least a part of the animate or inanimate object and a main body,
- the adornment piece capable of being selectively placed upon and separated from the main body,
- each of the base and main body simulating in shape and appearance another part of the animate or inanimate object.
