Refillable volatile composition dispenser
A volatile composition dispenser is provided. The volatile composition dispenser includes a housing having a base portion and a top portion rotatably and releasably connectable with the base portion about a longitudinal axis. The base and top portions each have a first surface and an opposing second surface. The housing includes a recessed track and a guide protrusion engageable with the recessed track. The recessed track has a track opening disposed at an open end of the recessed track and a track stop disposed at an opposite end of the recessed track. The recessed track is disposed on either the base portion or the top portion. When the recessed track is disposed on the base portion then the guide protrusion is disposed on the top portion. When the recessed track is disposed on the top portion then the guide protrusion is disposed on the base portion.
1 . A volatile composition dispenser comprising a housing, the housing comprising:
a base portion and a top portion that is rotatably and releasably connectable with the base portion about a longitudinal axis, wherein when the base portion and top portion are connected, an interior and exterior of the housing are defined, wherein the base portion comprises a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, and a mounting portion disposed on the second surface, and wherein the top portion comprises a first surface comprising an opening for exposing at least a portion of a volatile composition cartridge and a second surface opposing the first surface;
a recessed track; and
a guide protrusion engageable with the recessed track, wherein the recessed track comprises a track opening disposed at an open end of the recessed track and a track stop disposed at an opposite end of the recessed track, wherein the recessed track is disposed on either the base portion or the top portion, and wherein when the recessed track is disposed on the base portion then the guide protrusion is disposed on the top portion, and wherein when the recessed track is disposed on the top portion then the guide protrusion is disposed on the base portion,
wherein the recessed track further comprises a restriction disposed adjacent to the track stop, wherein the track opening is configured to receive the guide protrusion, and
wherein the recessed track further comprises an axially outermost point disposed adjacent to the track stop, wherein when the guide protrusion is positioned at the axially outermost point on the recessed track, the first surface of the base portion is closer to the second surface of the top portion than any other position of the guide protrusion on the recessed track.
