Abstract: A self-contained air freshening or deodorizing apparatus with a two-part housing including a mounting section for securing the apparatus in an operative position and a closure section for connection thereto for forming an enclosure. A battery-powered air movement generating mechanism includes a fan having a hub with a motor nested at least partially within the hub and connected thereto for rotating the fan hub and five blades mounted thereon to generate a path of air flow through the enclosure. Air freshening or deodorizing mechanism for supplying a source of vaporizable material is positioned in the path of air flow. An antibootleg device is mounted in the enclosure in such a way that removal of the device renders the motor inoperable.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser having a replaceable unvented liquid container with only an outlet opening, a discharge assembly in liquid communication with the liquid container outlet opening, and including a compressible nipple for accommodating a charge of liquid, a check valve for regulating the flow of liquid into the nipple and a semipermeable filter mounted in and substantially filling the inlet to the check valve, the filter element being permeable to air to introduce air into the liquid container through its outlet opening, the filter element being impermeable to liquid to prevent back flow of liquid through the air passageway, and having an opening therethrough which is aligned with the inlet of the check valve, defining a liquid passageway through the filter element to the check valve.
