13. A diffusion device, comprising:
-
a top portion having a top cover and a bottom portion having a bottom cover, wherein the top cover is disposed atop the bottom cover, thereby forming a cavity therebetween; a container disposed in cavity, wherein the container includes an active material therein and a wick extending therefrom; a spring-loaded pump assembly slidingly connected to the bottom cover and including a piezoelectric element extending therefrom; wherein when the top cover is inserted over the spring-loaded pump assembly, the pump assembly moves downwardly such that the piezoelectric element is moved into contact with the wick extending from the container and when the cover is removed, the pump assembly moves upwardly and out of contact with the wick. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
