Candles are provided for dispensing air treatment chemicals in response to heat. There is a lid bearing the air treatment chemical. The candle includes a housing with a combustible fuel. An upper lid includes a cover plate bearing the air treatment chemical and an opening centrally disposed in the plate to allow heated air to pass through when the fuel is being combusted. The plate is suspended across an upper end of a side wall of the housing creating an air gap adjacent the radial periphery of the lid. When the fuel is combusted the air treatment chemical can be heated thereby and carried away by heated air that has passed through the central opening, and the air gap can permit cooler air to enter the cavity while the fuel is being combusted.

What is claimed is: 1. An article for dispensing an air treatment chemical, the article comprising:a housing having a side wall structure, an upper lid, and an internal cavity in which is positioned a wax candle having a wick;the lid comprising:a cover plate to bear the air treatment chemical;an opening centrally disposed in the plate suitable to allow heated air to pass there through when the candle is being combusted, the opening being positioned over the wick;the plate being suspended across an upper end of the side wall structure such that there is an air passage adjacent the periphery of the plate other than through the plate;wherein the plate supports a substrate around the centrally disposed opening that is impregnated or coated with a supply of the air treatment chemical, the plate supporting the substrate so that it extends over a top of the candle; andwherein in addition to the centrally disposed opening the plate includes an inlet aperture through it;whereby, when the candle is combusted, the air treatment chemical can be heated thereby and carried away by heated air that has passed through the opening that is centrally disposed, and both the air passage and the inlet aperture can permit cooler air to enter the internal cavity while the candle is being combusted; andwherein a cap is removably positionable over the lid for covering the central opening and inlet aperture while keeping the air passage open.
