Methods of Dispensing Two or More Volatile Materials
First Claim
1. A method of dispensing two or more volatile materials, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a volatile material dispenser having at least one diffusion element and adapted to accommodate two or more containers having volatile materials therein, wherein each of the volatile materials is subjected to a diffusion element;
emitting a first of the volatile materials at a first intensity level for a first period of time between about 30 minutes and about 2 hours; and
emitting a second of the volatile materials at a second intensity level for a second period of time following the first period of time, wherein the second period of time is between about 1 minute and about 30 minutes and the second intensity level is greater than the first intensity level; and
repeating the step of emitting the first volatile material.

Abstract
A method of dispensing two or more volatile materials includes the step of providing a volatile material dispenser having at least one diffusion element and adapted to accommodate two or more containers having volatile materials therein, wherein each of the volatile materials is subjected to a diffusion element. The method further includes the steps of emitting a first of the volatile materials at a first intensity level for a first period of time between about 30 minutes and about 2 hours and emitting a second of the volatile materials at a second intensity level for a second period of time following the first period of time. The second period of time is between about 5 minutes and about 30 minutes and the second intensity level is greater than the first intensity level. The method still further includes the step of repeating the step of emitting the first volatile material.

27. A method of dispensing two or more volatile materials, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a volatile material dispenser having at least one diffusion element and adapted to accommodate two or more containers having volatile materials therein, wherein each of the volatile materials is subjected to a diffusion element; emitting a first volatile material from a first of the containers for a first generally continuous period of time, wherein after the first period of time, the first volatile material in the first container is substantially depleted; and emitting a second volatile material from a second of the containers for a second generally continuous period of time, wherein after the second period of time, the second volatile material in the second container is substantially depleted. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
