Abstract
A device ( ) for the diffusion of solutions is made up of a heating device ( ) comprising a shell, formed by two half-shells ( ), inside which there is an electric resistance (R ), designed to heat up when an electric current is applied to it, and a refill ( ) comprising a shell ( ) containing the solution to be diffused and a wick ( ) soaked in said solution and comprising at least one part that is in contact with the outside to diffuse the said solution. The refill ( ) is coupled to the heating device ( ) so that the resistance (R ) may heat the wick ( ) causing the evaporation of the solution. The shell ( ) of the refill ( ) is provided with engaging devices ( ) that will fit into the complementary engaging devices ( ) provided in the shell ( ) of the heating device ( ), so that the refill ( ) may be coupled with the heating device and may be turned on it so that it may be positioned in such a way as to prevent leakage of the solution it contains, whatever the direction in which the power socket on the wall is installed.
