ABSTRACT:
A fragrance emitting apparatus for connection to a USB port. In one embodiment, the fragrance emitting apparatus comprises a casing having an interior and at least one vent in communication with the interior, a cover removably attached to the casing to provide access to the interior, and a fragrance bottle removably disposed within the interior of the casing and having therein a liquid that provides a desired fragrance. The fragrance bottle further comprises a fragrance member having a first portion within fragrance bottle and a second portion extending from the fragrance bottle. The fragrance member is configured to absorb liquid in the fragrance bottle. The apparatus further comprises a micro-pump device positioned within the interior of the casing and adjacent to the second portion of the fragrance member. The micro-pump device has an oscillating member that contacts the second portion of the fragrance member. The apparatus further includes a control circuit to control the micro-pump device the control circuit generating an electrical wave signal having a predetermined frequency that causes the oscillating member to vibrate so as to diffuse fragrance liquid that contacts the oscillating member. A USB connector is connected to the casing and electrically connected to the control circuit. The diffusion of the fragrance liquid produces a fragrance that exits the casing through the vent. Other embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention are disclosed herein.
