Abstract
An apparatus useful for disseminating volatile liquid such as fragrance into an atmosphere from an evaporating surface adapted to oscillate in the atmosphere. Oscillation is caused and maintained by means of two magnets, one a permanent magnet, the other an electromagnet, one of which is attached to the evaporating surface. The electromagnet is caused to repel the permanent magnet at such points in the oscillation that the oscillation is maintained.
Claims8
An apparatus adapted to disseminate volatile liquid into an atmosphere, comprising:
- a stationary support with at least one stationary support arm extending from the stationary support,
- an electromagnet connected to a power source,
- an electromagnet control means;
- an oscillating portion comprising a reservoir and an evaporating surface, the reservoir containing an air treatment material in fluid communication with the evaporating surface, the oscillation portion additionally comprising at least one pivot arm, which pivotally supports the oscillating portion on the stationary support arm, and a permanent ma net disposed at or near the lowest region of the oscillating portion;
- and
- wherein the electromagnet control means maintains oscillatory motion of the oscillating portion with respect to the stationary support and dissemination of the air treatment material to the atmosphere through the oscillating evaporating surface.
