The patent application (Publication Number: US20230416639A1) describes a volatile material dispensing device, such as a candle, comprising a container, a wax composition, a wick, and a sleeve containing the volatile material. The sleeve is positioned between the wax composition and the container, allowing for controlled release of the volatile material. The wax composition may be fragrance-free, and the sleeve is made of a permeable material for passive emanation of the volatile material. Additionally, the device may include multiple wicks and reservoirs for enhanced dispersion of the volatile material.

Furthermore, the patent application details a method of making the candle, involving positioning a reservoir of volatile material adjacent to the container's interior surface, placing a wick inside the container, pouring in the wax composition, and allowing it to solidify. The container may have a permeable interior surface and a non-permeable exterior surface, with the volatile material selected from fragrances or pest control agents. The container material can include terracotta or concrete, and the exterior wall may have a sealant layer for containment. This innovative design aims to provide an efficient and customizable way to dispense volatile materials in a controlled manner, offering potential applications in various industries requiring scent or pest control solutions.
