Abstract:
1. A chemical delivery system, comprising: a chemical storage device configured for emitting a volatilized chemical therefrom; a heating element which provides an exothermic chemical reaction; an at least substantially rigid exterior housing element including a top portion and containing said heating element; and a lid including a first horizontal wall, a first plurality of vertical walls coupled to one another and depending downwardly from said first horizontal wall, and a well spaced radially inwardly relative to said first plurality of vertical walls and depending downwardly from said first horizontal wall, said chemical storage device being mounted to said well, said heating element being in thermal communication with said chemical storage device via said well, said first plurality of vertical walls being attached to only said top portion of said housing element, said chemical storage device being a removable hermetically sealed packet which is frictionally attached to said well, said packet including a peelable covering configured for being removed to thereby emit said volatilized chemical to an ambient environment, said packet including a gel, said well including a second plurality of vertical walls coupled to one another and spaced radially inwardly relative to said first plurality of vertical walls and depending downwardly from said first horizontal wall, a third plurality of vertical walls coupled to one another and spaced radially inwardly relative to said second plurality of vertical walls, a horizontal shoulder coupling said second plurality of vertical walls with said third plurality of vertical walls, and a second horizontal wall connected to said third plurality of vertical walls, said packet including a body to which said peelable covering is attached, said body being snap-fitted to and matingly received by said well.
