Aroma diffuser device
View Patent ↗An aroma diffuser device for diffusing selected scents into the airspace of interior habitable spaces is disclosed. The disclosed device includes multiple diffusers for diffusing multiple scents into a fan-induced airstream. Two, three or more diffusers can be included in and/or upon the device.
1 . An aroma diffuser device comprising:
a fan operable to flow air;
a body section housing the fan;
a first diffuser for diffusing a first aromatic substance;
a base configured to:
removably receive and support the body section, and
removably receive and support the first diffuser;
an upper air passage structure disposed above at least a majority of the body section, the upper air passage structure defining a first plurality of openings configured to permit passage of air through the upper air passage structure;
a lower air passage structure disposed below at least a majority of the body section, the lower air passage structure defining a second plurality of openings configured to permit passage of air through the lower air passage structure;
a puck-shaped second diffuser for diffusing a second aromatic substance; and
a diffuser receptacle having a cupped shape for receiving and supporting the second diffuser in a horizontal position, the diffuser receptacle providing open air access to the second diffuser from above the device, the diffuser receptacle positioned among the first plurality of openings of the upper air passage structure so as to permit air passage about the second diffuser,
wherein the puck-shaped second diffuser is positioned vertically above the first diffuser such that air entering the aroma diffuser via the lower air passage interfaces with the first diffuser before the puck-shaped second diffuser.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first diffuser and the second diffuser are each made of ceramic or diatomite stone.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fan is configured to draw air into the lower air passage structure and flow the air around the first diffuser, through an interior of the body section, and out of the upper air passage structure around the second diffuser.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fan is configured to draw air from around the second diffuser into the upper air passage structure and flow the air through an interior of the body section, around the second diffuser, and out of the lower air passage structure.
5 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more user controls for turning the fan on and for varying a speed of the fan.
6 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of magnets configured to removably secure the body section to the base.
7 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a universal serial bus (USB) receptacle port for receiving power through a USB cable.
