Abstract

A light and substance emitting device (100) includes a light source (106), an emitter (108) a power source (118), control circuitry (110,112), and a support structure (102, 104, 134). The light source (106) emits a flickering light that emulates a flame of a candle. The emitter (108) emits a volatile active. The power source (118) supplies power to the light source (106) and to the emitter (108). The control circuitry (110,112) controls at least one of (i) the light source (106) to flicker and (ii) the emitter (108) to emit the volatile active. The support structure (102, 104, 134) supports the light source (106), the emitter (108), the power source (118) and the control circuitry (110, 112).

Description

RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 541,067, filed Feb. 3, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] Our invention relates to the integrated presentation of ambient conditions. More specifically, our invention relates to the controlled and coordinated emission of light and volatile active, e.g., a fragrance, into a given area, such as a room, from a single device.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] Because of their wide array of shapes and sizes, as well as the seemingly limitless number of available scents, few things are quite as versatile at setting the ambience in an area as scented candles. Scented candles are not without drawbacks, however. For example, dripping wax can damage furniture and the skin and, in the extreme, an open flame can lead to a structure fire.

[0006] To account for the common problems associated with candles, electronic lighting devices that have a ...
