Abstract:
A perfume diffuser adapted to cooperate with a source of heat and with means for receiving or constituting a container for a perfumed substance adapted to diffuse a perfume upon evaporation or sublimation, the diffuser and said means transmitting to said perfumed substance a portion of the heat produced by said heat source, said diffuser comprising:a first heat conducting element separated from and at a distance from said means, said first heat conducting element receiving a portion of the heat produced by said heat source and transmitting a portion of the heat received by thermal conduction;a second heat conducting element separated from and at a distance from the first heat conducting element, said second heat conducting element being in contact with said perfumed substance;a third heat conducting element connected to the first heat conducting element and to the second heat conducting element, said third heat conducting element communicating a portion of the heat transmitted by the first heat conducting element to the second heat conducting element by thermal conduction;the first and third heat conducting elements each having an outside surface, and at least one of the first and third heat conducting elements being optionally thermally insulated over at least a portion of its outside surface; andthe perfumed substance receiving only heat received from the heat source by the first heat conducting element and transmitted by thermal conduction by said first heat conducting element to the third heat conducting element and then by said third heat conducting element to the second heat conducting element.
