ABSTRACT:
A fragrance emitting apparatus (20) for connection to a USB port. In one embodiment, the fragrance emitting apparatus (20) comprises a casing (22) having an interior and a fragrance vent (36A,36B) in communication with the interior, a heating element (42) located within the casing (22) that generates heat when electrical power is applied thereto, a USB connector (28) connected to the casing (22) and electrically connected to the heating element (42) so as to provide electrical power to the heating element (42) when the USB connector (28) is connected to a USB port, and a stationary fragrance member (50) located within the casing (22) to provide a fragrance, scent or aroma when heat is applied to the fragrance member (50). The fragrance member (50) is proximate to the heating element (42) so that heat generated by the heating element (42) causes the fragrance member (50) to emit a fragrance, scent or aroma which exits the interior of the casing (22) through the vent (36A,36B). Other embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention are disclosed herein.
