Abstract
An electrically heated apparatus for dispensing fragrancing materials and other volatile substances to an enclosed volume such as the interior of a room which includes a base having a base portion which is generally planar in structure having a top surface, and a bottom surface from which extends perpendicularly two (or more) suitably dimensioned electrical plugs. The base portion further includes incorporated within its construction a heating means which, when the electrical plugs are connected to a suitable electrical source, said heating means is energized, resulting in the heating of the base portion. Further, the base portion of the invention includes a radiator means. The apparatus further includes a volatile substance container which contains a quantity of a volatile substance such as a fragrance or perfume, a disinfecting composition, or an insecticide. The radiator means provides a surprisingly uniform temperature across the top surface of the base portion.
