Abstract
An electric fogger includes a housing having a heat source, a timer and a disposable canister containing a fog-producing material such as an insecticide, deodorant, perfume, disinfectant or air freshener. The housing includes a top member and a base member capable of receiving and replaceably holding the disposable canister. The housing contains the heat source such as a hot plate, for heating the insecticide or the like in the canister; a printed circuit board including an electrical switch for activating the heat source and a timer which automatically turns the heat source off after a predetermined period of time; and a pivoting cam adapted to engage the electricl switch on the printed circuit board to allow electricity to flow to the heat source when the pivoting cam engages a lug on the canister upon insertion of the canister into the housing. The fogger is of simple construction and is easy and safe in operation.
