Abstract: The present invention discloses an aerosol dispensing device for selectively dispensing a pressurized aerosol disinfectant from an aerosol container. A wall mounted support base for holding an aerosol container has two support holes at its lower end which rotatingly receive corresponding support shafts integral with a cover so as to permit the cover to rotate downward with respect to the support base; a latch mechanism detachably secures the top end of the cover to the support base. The aerosol container includes a normally closed discharge valve at one end, the discharge valve having a hollow stem extending from one end of the aerosol container and being in flow communication therewith when the hollow stem is laterally deflected. The aerosol container is removably received, stem down, in a mating U-shaped support arm attached to the support base, by means of a mating ring-form groove formed in one end of the aerosol container near the hollow stem.

Abstract: A method for emitting volatile substance comprising passing air in one direction into a cylinder inserted into a container wherein is held a solid material containing volatile substance, whereby air may be in contact with the solid material while passing through said container, and a device for carrying out the method comprising the solid material containing volatile substance, the container for holding the solid material, the cylinder inserted into the container, a fan for sucking air into the cylinder to form an air stream axially flowing upward relative to the device, a motor for effecting the rotation of the fan, and an electric circuit for activating the motor.
