Patent ID: 7086607

Claim:
An electrical dispenser for a deodorant or an insecticide, the dispenser comprising: a casing; a wick having a first end and a second end; electric heating means contained by the casing and disposed near the first end of the wick, wherein the electric heating means comprises a flat resistive heating strip wrapped around the first end of the wick; a bottle containing a liquid, wherein the liquid is either a deodorant or an insecticide, and disposed so the second end of the wick dips into the liquid so that the first end is impregnated with the liquid; an electric plug electrically connected to the electric heating means so that when the plug is supplied with electrical current the electric heating means warms up the first end of the wick thereby evaporating the liquid impregnated in the first end; and support means that provides an annular space in which the resistive heating strip is inserted, wherein the support means includes: an outer cylinder; and an inner cylinder placed inside and coaxial with respect to the outer cylinder, wherein the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder define an annular cylindrical space in which the resistive heating strip is inserted; where in the resistive heating strip comprises: a central portion made of a resistive material that is inserted into the annular cylindrical space; and two end portions connected to the central portion, each end portion being made of an electrically conductive material; and wherein the outer cylinder has a slot along a generatrix line, wherein the two end portions of the resistive heating strip come out of the cylindrical annular space through the slot of the outer cylinder.
