Abstract:
An automatic dispensing device for volatile fluid operable to apply one or more agent to a local environment for more than 14 days. Preferred devices dispense a first agent for air freshening, and may optionally dispense a second agent, such as a drain cleaner. A workable drain cleaner is structured to permit a slow release of drain cleaning agent. A dispensing device may nonexclusively operate by evaporation of volatile fluid from a polymer or rubber-like carrier material that is infused with the volatile fluid; gravity-induced drip from a bulk supply of volatile fluid through a small orifice onto an emanator; osmotic transfer of volatile fluid from a bulk supply; gas-pump drive of volatile fluid at controlled pressure; or diffusion of volatile fluid through a wall of a container of bulk volatile fluid; and combinations thereof.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus, comprising:\n an emanator structured to resist a humanly perceptible change in configuration size and shape during a useful life of the emanator for air freshening, the emanator being formed from a material capable of imbibing a volatile fluid when exposed to the volatile fluid in a liquid environment and subsequently off-gassing the imbibed volatile fluid when exposed to a gas environment; and a volatile fluid dispersed into the emanator to a weight percent of between about 3% and about 300%, where weight percent is calculated as A/B*100, and A is weight of the volatile fluid and B is dry weight of the emanator.
