DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The invention generally relates to field of low voltage electrical systems and fragrance/mosquito repellent dispensing. In particular it pertains to a fragrance and /or mosquito repellent installed within electrical switches and electrical switchboards used in the Building Industry.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Dispersal of fragrance to improve surrounding environment is well known to mankind. Likewise use of mosquito repellent chemicals by dispersing them in environment to repel mosquitos and reduce the risk of mosquito borne diseases such as malaria and dengue has been practiced for quite some time. To meet these requirements many types of fragrance dispersal systems exist in the market. They all rely on manual efforts or electric power or burning (to vaporize) to disperse the fragrance or the mosquito repellent.
[0004] One of the earliest systems which still find wide use consists of an incense stick which is lit up resulting in dispersal of the fragrance or the mosquito repellent in vapour form into the surrounding air.
[0005] In another system, aerosol dispensers are used which contain the fragrance and a propellant held under pressure in a container. When the container valve is opened, the two are forced out of the valve’s small hole in a mist form thus spreading the fragrance.
[0006] In another system there are dispensers which rely upon electric power with appropriate circuits and components. This power is conveyed to a heater to heat up the fragrance essence or to a blower to blow air over the fragrance essence, thus causing it to evaporate and disperse in air. In another aspect the fragrance could be in the form of a tablet which is heated by an electric heater thus releasing fragrance in the surroundings. In another aspect such dispersal systems have a plug which connects to a normal household socket to get the electric power it needs.
[0007] All such systems are easily configured to disperse the Mosquito Repellent chemical instead of the fragrance since the essential operational principles remain the same i.e. they need manual operation, burning or electric power or a combination of these.
[0008] Electrical switches and switchboards are used in all building installations. They use installation means that are well known and are used in areas of human population. Therefore, incorporating means for dispersal of fragrance or the mosquito repellent within such switches could be advantageous.
[0009] However, it is not possible to incorporate chemicals for fragrance or mosquito repellence in the thermoplastic components currently used for manufacturing electrical switches or switchboards as it may adversely affect the electrical and flammability characteristics of the thermoplastic components of the electrical switches or switchboards. Further, requirement of an external power source such as batteries, solar cells or other electric powering devices and the associated circuits and parts makes the design of such switches or switchboards difficult. Opening such electrical switches or switchboards shall also be risky as one may be exposed to wires carrying current.
[0010] There is, therefore, a need in the art for an Electrical Switches or Switchboard which provides for fragrance and /or mosquito repellence features without resorting to any electric power supply while at the same time without affecting in any way the Switches or switchboard’s electrical and flammability characteristics.

[0030] Referring to FIG 1 wherein an Electrical Switches or Switchboard 100 incorporating a fragrance /mosquito repellent dispensing/dispersing device is illustrated in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The Switch or Switchboard 100 can incorporate a concentrated fragrance Capsule 104 in the form of a solid plastics component which can emit fragrance without spraying or burning or heating or any other means and thus does not need any power supply. In an alternate embodiment Capsule 104 can instead contain a mosquito repellent which can be emitted similarly. Capsule 104 can emit fragrance or mosquito repellent continuously for a period as determined by its design. In another embodiment such fragrance or mosquito repellent may be manufactured from natural ingredients that are not harmful to human being present in surrounding areas.
[0031] Switchboards or Switches such as the Switchboard or Switches 100, typically incorporate a Grid Plate such as 106 configured to firmly hold a plurality of switches and sockets in openings such as 108 by such means that all electrical wiring and connections are concealed behind the Grid Plate 106 and contained within the Switchboard or Switch Box 116. In one embodiment the switches and sockets may be of the click fit type. In another embodiment they may be fitted onto Grid Plate 106 with screws and nuts. In another embodiment Grid Plate 106 may have provision for other electric fittings such as Bell Switches.
[0032] The Grid Plate 106 can be fixed to the Switchboard or Switch Box 116 by suitable means such as but not limited to screws or click fit connectors. Switchboard or Switch Box 116 can have space to accommodate the switches and sockets mounted on Grid Plate 106 in such a fashion that all electrical connections and wires stay within Switchboard or Switch Box 116 and only the front façade of switches and sockets are accessible on Grid Plate 106. The Switchboard or Switch Box 116 may be installed wherever switches and sockets are needed as per wiring requirements. In an embodiment Switchboard or Switch Box 116 may be affixed on the wall by means of screws. In another embodiment it may be fitted inside holes in the wall and firmly held there by clips affixed in the cement. In another embodiment it may be on the ceiling or any place where switches need to be placed, affixed firmly on a supporting surface by suitable means.
[0033] In an aspect, there can be plurality of Resilient Clips 102 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or fixed on the Grid Plate 106 and of such dimensions and strength so as to hold the Capsule 104 firmly against Grid Plate 106 by click fitting, the Resilient Clips 102 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or can be fixed at such places on Grid Plate 106 where they and the Capsule 104 held in between them do not interfere with operation of the switches or sockets. In another embodiment, the Resilient Clips 102 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or could be mounted on the backside of the Face Plate 110. The Resilient Clips 102 can be configured to hold the capsule 104 on the front face of the Grid Plate 106 so that the removal or replacement of the capsule 104 can be done without dismantling the Grid Plate 106 from the Switchboard or Switch Box 116.
[0034] In an embodiment, the Resilient Clips 102 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or affixed in sets at two different places on Grid Plate 106, one set configured to hold a Capsule for fragrance and another configured to hold another Capsule that incorporates a mosquito repellent. In an embodiment these Resilient Clips 102 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or affixed to the Grid Plate 106 during the moulding of the Grid Plate itself. In another embodiment, one or more of Capsules 104 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or fitted on Grid Plate 106 by any other suitable click fitting connector.
[0035] Face Plate 110 which is also typically click fitted on to Grid Plate 106 by a plurality of Resilient Clips 114 provided on Face Plate 110. In an aspect, the Face Plate 110 can be of such dimensions as to allow enough space between the Face Plate 110 and the Grid Plate 106to be sufficient for the Capsule 104 to be held as described above. Face Plates such as the Face Plate 110 typically incorporate openings 112 to allow access for operation of switches and sockets affixed on Grid Plate 106. In another embodiment, the Face Plate 110 can incorporate one or more small hole such that after complete assembly of the Capsule 104 and the Face Plate 110 over Grid Plate 106, these holes are placed in front of Capsule 104 allowing for more effective dispersal of the fragrance or the mosquito repellent chemical. In an embodiment Resilient Clips 114 may be integral part of the Grid Plate or affixed to Face Plate 110 during the moulding of Face Plate 110 itself. In another embodiment, the Face Plate 110 may be fitted on the Grid Plate 106 by any other type of click fitting connector.
[0036] To operate the invention in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, the Face Plate 110 can be removed/separated/disjointed from the Grid Plate 106 by dislodging the Resilient Clips 114. Thereafter, the Capsule 104 can be fitted on the Grid Plate 106 by means of the Resilient Clips 102. Thereafter the Face Plate 110 can be fitted back on the Grid Plate 106 by means of the Resilient Clips 114. Once the fragrance or the mosquito repellent of Capsule 104 is exhausted, Capsule 104 can be replaced with another one following the same method. All these operations can be performed by hand without need of any special tools because of the sets of the Resilient Clips 102 and 114 that hold the Capsule 104 or the Face Plate 110 respectively. One may at most require a small screw driver for removal of click fitted parts such as the Face Plate 110 and the Capsule 104. The operation is totally safe as all electrical wiring is behind Grid Plate 106 and so the user is isolated from them.
[0037] As can be appreciated, the present disclosure allows for fragrance or mosquito repellent to be dispersed to the surroundings in a building without burning, spraying or using electric power. Further, the electrical and flammability characteristics of the thermoplastic components of the Electrical Switch, Electrical Switchboard and its constituent parts such as Face Plate and Grid Plate is not affected in any fashion. No human intervention is required after the Capsule has been fitted and it remains effective till it is exhausted or taken out. During the operation of fixing or removal of the Capsule, the user is not exposed to any electrical wiring and connections as those are behind the Grid Plate making the operation completely safe.
[0038] Electrical Switches and Switchboards are some of the most widely used components in the Building Industry. They are widely used in residential and commercial buildings. The present disclosure enhances the function of the Electrical Switchboard. The capsule can easily and safely be changed to have a fragrance or mosquito repellent chemical in accordance with functional requirement. Capsules in different fragrances can be used as per the user preference. Such fragrance or mosquito repellent may be manufactured from natural ingredients thereby eliminating the harmful effects of chemicals such as allergic reactions and breathing problems. The fragrance or the mosquito repellent effect continues without any human intervention till the Capsule is exhausted. Hence as health awareness and comfort demands of consumers increase invention as per present disclosure may find wide use.
[0039] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
