First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A volatile material container, comprising: a blister having a bottom wall, a peripheral flange, and a sidewall extending therebetween; a vapor permeable membrane attached to the peripheral flange and extending across the blister, wherein the vapor permeable membrane in conjunction with the bottom wall and the sidewall contain a volatile material within the blister; and a stationary magnetic element disposed entirely within the blister. 2. The volatile material container of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is attached to the vapor permeable membrane. 3. The volatile material container of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is attached to the bottom wall of the blister. 4. The volatile material container of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is attached to the sidewall. 5. The volatile material container of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of magnetic elements are disposed within the blister. 6. The volatile material container of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is adapted to be attracted to a corresponding magnetic element in a dispensing device. 7. A volatile material container, comprising: a blister having a bottom wall, a peripheral flange, and a sidewall extending therebetween; a vapor permeable membrane attached to the peripheral flange and extending across the blister, wherein the vapor permeable membrane in conjunction with the bottom wall and the sidewall contain a volatile material within the blister; and a stationary magnetic element disposed between the blister and the vapor permeable membrane.
