Abstract

Base structures for use with a scent warmer comprise a support structure configured to receive thereon an at least substantially hollow member defining a cavity. An electrical connector extends from the support structure. A power cord connector extending from the support structure is electrically connected to the electrical connector using a rigid electrical connection and configured to physically secure and electrically communicate with a power cord. Methods of making a base structure for use with a scent warmer comprise configuring a support structure to receive thereon an at least substantially hollow member defining a cavity. An electrical connector that extends from the support structure is formed. A power cord connector configured to physically secure and electrically communicate with a power cord is electrically connected with the electrical connector using a rigid electrical connection.
