Abstract:
1. An air-scenting device, which can be mounted vertically, horizontally or at any orientation, including upside down, without any leakage or dripping, during its operational state, comprising: a hollow barrel, said barrel having a middle portion, a distal end and a proximal end, said middle portion being impermeable to flow of fluids, said barrel containing a fluid reservoir, said fluid reservoir being in the form of an open-cell porous mass, said mass containing an air-scenting liquid within a portion of its open cells, the entire said open-cell mass of said reservoir being not surrounded by any free-to-flow, under gravitational action, fluid and having a first capillary rise, said distal end being closed with a distal end cover, said proximal end being attached to an air permeable protective cage, said cage having a side wall, and an end portion and containing, within its interior, an air-scenting porous wick, said side wall having perforations, said wick having at least a portion of its surface in contact with at least a portion of surface of said mass, said wick having a second capillary rise, said cage side wall and end portion encapsulating said wick and allowing air flow around said wick.
