A volatile material dispenser comprises a base that houses a printed circuit board. The base includes at least one button and a plurality of visual indicators along a front portion. The volatile material dispenser further comprises a stand assembly that is coupled with the base. The stand assembly includes a platform defining a front portion and a rear portion, a stand that is disposed above and on the rear portion of the platform, a manifold that is disposed at an upper end of the stand and defines an outer side surface from which extends a plurality of radially spaced ribs, and a piezoelectric assembly disposed within the manifold. The volatile material dispenser further comprises a cover that is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the base. The cover defines a chimney that defines a longitudinal axis. The manifold includes a refill chassis.

Volatile material dispenser

A volatile material dispenser includes a base that houses a printed circuit board. The volatile material dispenser also includes a stand assembly and a shroud. The stand assembly is coupled with the base. The stand assembly includes a platform, a stand that extends from the platform, and a manifold that extends from the stand. The manifold contains a circular piezoelectric element. The shroud is positioned on the base. The shroud defines a chimney that is centered along a longitudinal axis. The manifold includes an annular wall that extends from the manifold. A spring is disposed within the manifold and is coaxial with the annular wall. A top end of the spring is wrapped around the annular wall and a bottom end of the spring applies a force against the piezoelectric element.

The dispenser further includes a shroud that is coupled with the stand assembly and defines a chimney, and a refill comprising a wick, the refill being removably coupled with the manifold. The manifold includes a cylindrical wall that extends upward from the manifold, a spring is disposed within the manifold and is coaxial with the cylindrical wall, and a top end of the spring is wrapped around the cylindrical wall and a bottom end of the spring applies a force against the piezoelectric element.

Actuator cap

A clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a wall of an enclosure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a base, a hook configured to support the base adjacent the wall, means for attaching a fluid delivery device to the base, and means for rotating the base. Additionally, a method for attaching a clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a toilet bowl is disclosed. The method includes securing a hook to a rim, engaging a tab of a base to an underside of the rim at an interface, and rotating the base in response to the interface to substantially engage the tab of the base with the underside of the rim.

Clip for mounting a fluid delivery device

A device for spraying an inner surface of a toilet bowl with a cleaning and/or deodorizing chemical is disclosed. The device can include a container for the chemical, a sprayer through which the chemical can be sprayed laterally at least halfway around a perimeter of the sprayer, means for attaching the sprayer near a rim of the toilet bowl, a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the container and the sprayer, and a manually operated pump for delivering chemical from the container through the fluid conduit and to the sprayer when the pump is operated. In one version, the pump includes a pump chamber in fluid communication with the container, a discharge conduit in fluid communication with the pump chamber and in fluid communication with the fluid conduit, and a piston that reciprocates in the pump chamber for drawing fluid from the container into the pump chamber and moving fluid from the pump chamber through the discharge conduit and into the fluid conduit. The device can apply chemical around the entire circumference of the inner surface of the toilet bowl.

A sealable container cover includes both an elastic edge and an adhesive edge for sealing the container cover to the wall or walls of a container. The elastic material around the expandable opening of the container cover may be attached directly to the edge of the cover, housed by a hem created at the edge of the cover, or housed by an additional piece of film or other material attached at the edge of the cover.
