Abstract

An atomizer including a bulb defining a hollow cavity configured to contain a substance therein, a stem extending from the bulb, and an actuator coupled to the bulb, the actuator being actuable to expel a fragrance of the substance from the stem.

Claims (24)

1 . An atomizer comprising:

a bulb defining a hollow cavity configured to contain a substance therein;

a stem extending from the bulb;

an actuator constructed of a resilient material and coupled to the bulb, the actuator being actuable to expel a fragrance of the substance from the stem; and

a screen positioned between a portion of the hollow cavity defined by the bulb and a portion of the hollow cavity defined by the stem.

2 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the stem includes a first end extending from the bulb and as second end defining an opening, and wherein the second end is flared.

3 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the actuator is removably coupled to the bulb.

4 . The atomizer of claim 3 , wherein the substance can be added to or removed from the hollow cavity when the actuator is removed from the bulb.

5 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the bulb includes a substantially flat portion configured to support the bulb on a surface in a configuration in which the stem is angled relative to the surface.

6 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the bulb includes a substantially flat portion configured to support the bulb on a surface in a configuration in which the stem is oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface.

7 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the actuator is a first actuator, and further comprising a second actuator coupled to the bulb, the second actuator being actuable to expel a fragrance of the substance from the stem.

8 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein a humidity control device is positioned within the hollow cavity.

9 . The atomizer of claim 1 , wherein the bulb is formed as a single piece.

10 . An atomizer,

a bulb defining a hollow cavity configured to contain a substance therein, the bulb having an opening through which a fragrance of the substance can be dispensed;

and an actuator constructed of a resilient, deformable material and coupled to the bulb, the actuator being actuable to expel the fragrance of the substance from the opening,

wherein the bulb includes a magnification element.

11 . The atomizer of claim 10 , wherein the opening is formed in a stem extending from the bulb.

12 . The atomizer of claim 10 , wherein the opening is one hole of a plurality of holes.

13 . The atomizer of claim 10 , wherein the opening is a first opening and wherein the bulb includes a second opening and the actuator is removably coupled to the second opening.

14 . The atomizer of claim 13 , wherein the hollow cavity can be filled or refilled with the substance when the actuator is removed from the second opening.

15 . The atomizer of claim 13 , wherein the actuator is friction fit into the second opening.

16 . The atomizer of claim 10 , wherein the resilient, deformable material is configured to be squeezed or depressed to expel the fragrance of the substance from the opening.

17 . The atomizer of claim 10 , wherein the actuator forms a substantially continuous surface with an exterior surface of the bulb.
