Thermally-activated fragrance dispenser

摘要

A thermally activated device for perfuming the air immediately surrounding an operating electronic computer monitor, including a thermally conductive receptacle adapted to contain therein a thermally activated fragrance material and further adapted to be affixed over and proximate to the waste heat cooling vents of an electronic computer monitor, and a removable receptacle lid cooperating with the receptacle to retain the fragrance material therein. The receptacle includes a heat absorbing base and a closed peripheral sidewall permanently attached thereto. Preferably, the base exterior bottom surface of the base features lateral rectilinear or curvilinear serriform fins to increase thermal absorption of the waste heated air exiting the computer monitor via the cooling vents to the base exterior bottom surface of the thermally conductive receptacle; the receptacle is adapted for placement against the cooling vent by two-sided adhesive mounting pads or hooks and loops fasteners, such as Velcro(R) strips. The thermally activated fragrance material within the receptacle perfumes the surrounding air through at least one perforation or a grille portion of the receptacle lid. Multiple perforations may be in a distinctive pattern to personalize the dispenser.
