  Electrical device for the distribution of insecticide and deodorant products in wafers for motor vehicles, boats and the like.



   The present invention relates to a device for the distribution of insecticide and deodorant products in wafers for motor vehicles, boats and the like comprising electrical heating means for supporting and heating a wafer.



   The object of the invention is to provide an insecticide device which can be used on board motor vehicles and boats.



   According to the invention, this object is achieved by a device of the specified type which comprises a plug electrically connected to the heating means, this plug being intended to be inserted into a socket for cigarette lighter.



   According to the invention, the electrical heating means are advantageously mounted in a body which comes in one piece with the plug.



   Other characteristics and advantages of a device according to the invention will emerge from the description of a preferred exemplary embodiment, given below by way of indication and without limitation, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
 EMI1.1
 Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are views partly in section, respectively in plan and in dimension, of the device of FIG. 1.



   In these figures, 1 designates, as a whole, a device for the distribution of insecticide and deodorant products in blister packs which are not shown in the drawings because they are conventional, the

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 diffusion taking place using heating means.



   The device I comprises a body 2 of trapezoidal shape, hollow and open at its upper part in which are mounted electric heating means indicated, as a whole, at 3, and intended to support and heat an insecticide wafer. The heating means 3 consist of a ceramic plate 4 inside which is mounted an electrical resistance, not shown.



   The device 1 further comprises a plug 5 electrically connected to the said heating means and intended to be inserted into a socket for lighters for motor vehicles, boats and the like which is entirely conventional and, therefore, not illustrated in the drawings.



   In particular, the plug 5 comprises a tube 6 coming in one piece with the body 2 of a thermoplastic material and in which are formed two longitudinal slots 7 and 8 opposite and parallel.



   On a free end of the pipe 6 which is threaded, is screwed a contact carrier body 9 on which is mounted a metal lug 10 extending axially through the contact carrier body 9. The lug 10 can advantageously be retracted a against the action of a spring provided in the contact carrier body 9.



   In 11 is indicated a fixed eyelet ci the metal lug 10 inside the tubing 6 and, to this eyelet 11, is fixed one end 12a of a conductor 12 to the other end 12b of which are connected the means of heating 3.



   The sheet 5 further comprises a spring 13 of metal wire folded in substance in the form of

 <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 buttonhole and extending in the tube 6. In this spring 13 are defined two lateral branches 13a, 13b opposite and projecting out of the respective slots 7 and 8 as well as an end branch 13c in contact with the heating means 3 .



   To operate the device 1, an insecticide plate is placed on the plate 4, then the plug 5 is inserted into an electrical outlet connected to a storage battery or to a DC equivalent power source of 12 or of 24 volts.



   The plug 5 is pressed into the socket until its lug 10 is positioned against a contact formed at the bottom of the socket, generally the positive pole, while its lateral branches 13a and 13b are in forced contact with the wall. from the socket in which the negative pole is generally formed.



   Consequently, a current is thus brought inside the device 1 and passes through the heating means 3 which then ensure the heating of the wafer and the diffusion of the insecticide product which it contains in the ambient atmosphere.



   The device according to the invention is therefore quite practical and, at the same time, effective and convenient to use with the sockets for cigarette lighter widely used and of a standardized type, installed on board motor vehicles and boats.



   The device also presents, advantageously, a reduced bulk and, because of its structural simplicity, a moderate price.



   Of course, the invention is not limited to the execution details described above to which many changes and modifications can be made without going beyond its scope.
