Abstract

A fluid dispenser comprises a container for fluid having release means coupled with the container which is operatively coupled with an actuating means for effecting periodic operation of the release means to effect release of a portion of the fluid in the container to an outlet. A convection chamber has a lower aperture for permitting entry of air and an upper aperture for permitting exit of air. The chamber is provided with a downwardly extending inner surface which is adsorbent and which is arranged to receive fluid portions from the outlet. The surface permits dispersion of the fluid downwardly on the surface to allow vaporization of the fluid in the convection air flow.
