PORTABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED AROMATHERAPY VAPORIZERS
First Claim
1. A portable aromatherapy vaporizing system with unitary furnace and material chamber comprising:
- a power supply (60);
a heating system comprising;
a unitary furnace (400) with an upper furnace (UF) and a lower furnace (LF) having an inside wall (429′
);
a material chamber (400″
) formed in the UF by dividing the unitary furnace with an air permeable screen (9501);
a heating element (405) inside the lower furnace;
a temperature sensor (90);
a controller (65) in signal communication with at least the sensor, heating element, power supply and on/off control (108A);
a floor gasket configured to hold the open bottom (400B) of the lower furnacea floor configured to at least partially seal off the floor gasket;
a vent (117A) through at least one of the floor gasket, floor, and through the furnace (117B) providing a fluid connection for air to enter the furnace;
a connection interface gasket (CIG) (9000) providing a seal between the fluid pathway from the open top (400A) of the unitary furnace (400′
) and material chamber (400″
) to a vapor dispensing closing system (9200) having a top closure (9101);
a top portion cavity (9210) within the top closure; and
,a fluid connection (9108) through the top closure in fluid connection with the top of the furnace.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are aspects of portable vaporizers forming isolated vapor paths through vapor dispensers wherein a material chamber is part of a unitary furnace formed above a resistive heater and aliquots of heated air are drawn through plant-based material in the formed material chamber. A printed circuit board in signal communications with at least one temperature sensor controls the power flow to the resistance heater to select the temperature produced by heating elements in the furnace. A rechargeable battery power supply is mounted in a body to supply power the heating element.

16. A method to control vaporization in a portable aromatherapy system, the method comprising:
-
dividing a unitary furnace (400) with an air permeable screen (9501) between a lower furnace section (LF) and an upper furnace section (UF) forming a material section (400″
) having an open top (400A);placing a resistive heater in the lower furnace section through a floor of the furnace;
monitoring the temperature near the floor with a temperature sensor in signal communication with a controller;connecting a power supply in signal communication with the controller and whereby the power supply is switchable connected to the resistive heater; moving an aliquot heated air through the unitary furnace and out of the open top; moving an aliquot of air into the furnace through the floor into the open bottom (400B); and
,whereby when the power supply is supplying power the controller is in signal communication with the temperature sensor and controls the amount of power supplied to the resistant heater corresponding to heating the air drawn into the furnace through at least one vent to a selected temperature. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
