  • Patent number: 5238187
    Abstract: Apparatus including a liquid vaporizer having a first wick of linear shape, a bottle for holding the liquid to be vaporized and a gravity-flow metering device having a second wick. The bottle has a closing cap to which two tubes are connected. One tube discharges the liquid from the bottle and the other extends through the cap to the opposite end of the bottle for counteracting the vacuum which is produced when liquid is discharged. The end of the discharging tube extends outwardly of the cap further than the end of the other tube so that a pool is produced in the dispenser. The level of the pool is limited by the position of the end of the tube for counteracting the vacuum. The second wick is of J-shape; one end is immersed in the pool and the other end is suspended over the first wick so that liquid absorbed at the immersed end drips from the second wick on the first wick and is evaporated and diffused from the first wick.

  • Patent number: 4931258
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vandal-proof and theft-resistant deodorant cabinet for use in public facilities and restrooms. The housing of the deodorant cabinet is specifically designed to be removably attached to the frame of the cabinet with a series of lock tabs which are inaccessible such that the housing can only be opened by someone with a special tool. Additionally, the frame is designed to be attached to a wall by screws which are hidden from view even after the housing is removed. These features make the cabinet tamper-proof and theft-resistant while still maintaining its versatility and decorativeness.
