Abstract

A device for dispensing a volatile substance includes a gas-fueled, portable heat source. The heat source has a combustion nozzle capable of supporting a flame. The device includes a sole plate for heating the volatile substance and heat transfer device for enclosing the combustion nozzle and transferring heat from the flame to the sole plate. A
heat box substantially surrounds the heat transfer device and sole plate. The heat box has a window (44) through which volatile substances released from the sole plate may escape. The device also has a housing (46) within which the heat box is held in spaced relation from the housing, the housing (46) having a housing window (52) adjacent to the heat box window (44). By use of the device, a flame at the combusion nozzle heats the sole plate to volatilize a volatile substance placed thereon, which may then escape into the atmosphere through the heat box window, with the housing remaining cool.
Operation of the device may be controlled by control buttons (64, 66).
