Title: Emanator device
Inventor: DAVANZO MAURO
IPC: A61L2/18
Filed: 2012-02-10
Abstract: An emanator device for emanating an air treatment agent into the surrounding air comprises a housing (102) which contains a solid or liquid source of the air treatment agent, wherein the housing comprises a blister or capsule containing an air treatment agent (108) and a plurality of openings which are sufficiently small that they can be closed by a film or plug of water.
