Abstract: An air freshener comprises a scent capsule carried by a housing. The scent capsule comprises a reservoir containing a fragrant material, and with an opening to a cavity therein and covered by a permeable membrane through which a fragrance can permeate, and a releasable seal sealed over the opening and the permeable membrane to resist fragrance release until removed. An absorptive pad is disposed behind the releasable seal between the scent capsule and the housing, and is capable of absorbing the fragrant material that permeates through the permeable membrane.

Abstract: An air freshener comprises a container divided into an inner cylindrical reservoir and an outer annular reservoir with at least two different fragrant materials with different fragrances. A cap is carried by the container and covers the reservoirs. A sleeve extends from the cap into the container between the reservoirs. The cap is movable axially with respect to the container between a raised position in which the at least two different fragrances are released, and a closed position in which the cap covers the container to resist release of the at least two different fragrances.

Abstract: A frictional pad has a pair of inclined slots in a pair of sidewalls to hold a handheld electronic device at an incline with respect to the pad. The pad can also have a squat dome.

Abstract: An air freshener includes a pair of wicks extending from a pair of reservoirs configured to contain different scents. A hood is sized and shaped to essentially cover only one of the at least two wicks and movable with respect to the wicks between a first scent position in which the hood essentially covers a second of the at least two wicks, a second scent position in which the hood essentially covers a first of the at least two wicks, and a plurality of combined scent positions in which the hood partially covers both of the at least two wicks.

Abstract: An automotive surface treatment system can include an aqueous antimicrobial composition which is formulated for use with automotive surfaces and has a volatile organic content no greater than 0.5% by weight. The aqueous antimicrobial composition includes an antimicrobial agent which is a combination of quaternary ammonium salts, a combination of surfactants which is at least one polyoxyalkylene surfactant, a fragrance, water, and at least one of a glycol solvent, a conditioner, a shine enhancer, a moisturizer, and UV protectant. The system also includes a dispense container which is adapted to retain the antimicrobial composition within the container and instructions attached to the dispenser. The instructions include directions to apply the antimicrobial composition to an automotive surface.

Abstract: A combined passive acoustic speaker and stand for a portable, handheld electronic device includes a block with an inclined slot in the side oriented at an acute angle with respect to a bottom of the block to receive and retain a portion of the portable, handheld electronic device therein at an acute inclined angle with respect to a support surface. An aperture in the bottom of the slot extends through the side of the block and into a hollow therein. The hollow includes a non-symmetrical, arcuate-axis, frusto-conical horn with a larger forward sound outlet opening in the front of the block and a smaller rearward sound inlet opening in a rear of the horn open to the aperture in the bottom of the slot.

Abstract: An air freshener includes a capsule having a permeable membrane extending across and covering a cavity, and a front surface. A fragrant material is disposed in the cavity of the vessel and is visible through a capsule wall. The fragrant material includes a scent permeating the permeable membrane. A recess is formed in the front surface of the vessel. An insert is coupled in the recess of the front surface with the insert carried directly by the capsule. Indicia is carried by the insert or the recess of the front surface. The air freshener has means for mounting the capsule.

Abstract: An air freshener has a head with a face. A clip is coupled to the head opposite the face and extends from the head perpendicularly, and includes a pair of vent rods. A pair of bodies is each coupled to a different one of the vent rods. A scent material is interspersed within the bodies, and is capable of diffusing out of the bodies to surrounding air.

Abstract: An air freshener is configured to be carried by a power outlet of an automobile. The air freshener includes a scent capsule disposed in a housing. A heat source is disposed in the housing adjacent and opposing a permeable membrane of the scent capsule. The heat source is configured to heat the fragrant material in the scent capsule and accelerate permeation of the fragrant material through the permeable membrane of the sent capsule. A hatch is pivotally coupled to the housing and substantially contained within a hatch cavity with an outer surface that is substantially flush with an exterior of the housing in a closed position. The hatch can include a capsule cavity therein, carrying the scent capsule, and facing an interior of the housing in the closed position.

Abstract: An air freshener device includes a rigid body or insert having a front face with a protrusion, a rear opposite the front face with a cavity corresponding to the protrusion, and an annular perimeter lip circumscribing the front face. A scent material is interspersed within the body. A flexible cover or shell extends across the rear of the body and covers the cavity, and has an inward facing annular groove surrounding and receiving the annular perimeter lip.

Abstract: An air freshener includes a dual axis vent stick with a pair of transverse slots bifurcating the vent stick to form four fingers oriented substantially parallel to one another, and also bifurcating at least one scented body carried by the vent stick.

Abstract: An air freshener has a vent rod and a scent material carried by the vent rod. A head is pivotally coupled to the vent rod. A hinge is between the head and the vent rod including an axel in an aperture. A plurality of petals is coupled to the head and pivotal with the head with respect to the vent rod.

Abstract: A portable powered air freshener includes an air displacement mechanism carried by a housing including a fan. A scent capsule is carried by the housing and has a chamber containing a fragrant material and a permeable membrane through which a fragrance of the fragrant material can permeate over time.

Abstract: An air freshener includes a housing with a stem and a head with a cavity therein. An air displacement mechanism is carried by the housing and includes a rotatable fan carried by the head, and a motor coupled to the fan to rotate the fan. A scent capsule is removably carried by the head and has a chamber containing a fragrant material and a permeable membrane through which a fragrance of the fragrant material can permeate over time. The permeable membrane is located adjacent the fan.

Abstract: A frictional pad device adhered to an upward facing support surface and upon which a handheld electronic device is selectively disposed and held in a non-adhesive, non-slip, tacky fashion by the frictional pad. The frictional pad has a repositionable adhesive film releasably and repositionably adhered to the upward facing support surface. A squat dome is affixed to the upward facing support surface by the repositionable adhesive film. The squat dome has a continuous outward facing surface facing and contacting the handheld electronic device.

Abstract: A frictional pad is adhered to a handheld electronic device and disposable and held in a non-adhesive, non-slip fashion on an upward facing support surface. The frictional pad includes a polyurethane dome adhered to the handheld electronic device by the adhesive film. The dome has a broad, flat shape with an outfacing surface facing the upward facing support surface. The outfacing surface of the dome contacts the upward facing support surface and is tacky to releasably hold the handheld electronic device to the upward facing support surface.
