Abstract
A fragrance-dispensing artificial flower combination has a cylindrical container with an open upper end and a closed lower end. A volatile liquid fragrance is in the container and a piston is slidably mounted in the container for closing the container over the fragrance. The piston has an opening therethrough, between the open upper end of the container and the fragrance in the container. A tube having a lower open end extending into the open end of the piston, has an upper open end. An absorbent material button receives the upper end of the tube, the button having a lower surface pierced by a passage into which the upper end of the tube extends, means defining an artificial flower connected around the button and a sleeve around the tube extending from the container to the flower for simulating a stem of the flower, the tube being operable to push the piston downwardly into the container for forcing liquid fragrance from the container through the piston and into the porous plastic button for saturating the button to dispense the fragrance from the button.
