  • Patent number: 8178048
    Abstract: A dispenser fixture for dispersing aromatic vapors into a facility includes an elongated dispenser chamber bounded by end walls, one containing a motor driven fan and the other wall containing fixtures for supplying and controlling electrical current for powering the fan motor. The chamber, containing trays supporting a replaceable supply of aromatic material, presents the aromatic material to an air flow passing into apertures positioned near or in the other wall such that a carrier arm supporting the fixture orientates the fan motor to discharge air enriched with aromatic vapors in a horizontal direction into the facility. The fixture includes upstanding side walls joining the end walls, a floor wall joining the side walls and the end walls, and a top wall overlying the side and end walls for enclosing the aromatic materials in the chamber. The dispenser fixture may be made of a hard plastic or metal.

  • Patent number: 8005350
    Abstract: An aromatic odor neutralizer includes a vaporization chamber containing a wick with an end part immersed in fluid in a storage cup that is gravity fed from an airtight vessel by the use of air pathways exposed when the liquid level in the cup is reduced. The vaporization chamber is located in a dispenser housing with an internal passage between end walls and communicating with vents in the sides for aerodynamic airflow to efficiently absorb vapors from a vaporizer chamber.

  • Patent number: 7857236
    Abstract: An aromatic odor neutralizer includes a dispenser housing with an internal passage between end walls and communicating with vents in the sides for aerodynamic airflow to efficiently absorb vapors from a vaporizer chamber within the dispenser housing. The vaporization chamber contains a wick with an end part immersed in fluid in a storage cup that is gravity fed from an air tight vessel by the use of air pathways exposed when the liquid level in the cup is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6105916
    Abstract: A frame for a cabinet for a deodorant particularly for commodes and urinals in public facilities. The frame is composed of separate back plate, top member and bottom member composed of a resilient plastic. The top member and bottom member are snap-locked to the back plate and secured further by projections from the top and bottom members in slots in the back plate. The bottom member is a liquid-tight tray capable of processing deodorants in bottles through wicks or can with wicks, absorbent surcotas and wafers. There is a bottle holder snap-locked to the underside of the top member. A battery-blower assembly is snap-locked to the back plate. The battery poles are joined to the wires from the blower-motor by a clip. The tube which drips deodorant into a commode or urinal is secured to the outlet from the tray by ribs and bulkhead fittings are dispensed with.

  • Patent number: 5533705
    Abstract: A drive for providing an air stream for generating vapor from a wick or ceramic wafers or discs containing vaporizable deordorant. The drive includes a socket assembly in which a socket for a motor of larger dimensions and a socket for a motor of smaller dimensions are mounted back-to-back. The mounting of the assembly in the deodorant apparatus is reversible so that either socket can receive the corresponding motor for driving the air.

  • Patent number: 5376338
    Abstract: A replacable cartridge for air-treating apparatus which includes a blower for generating an air stream. The cartridge includes a battery on which a seat in the form of a cap or sleeve having a flange is mounted and with a porous block to be impregnated with a vaporizable air-treating material seated on the flange. The block has peripheral holes in whose surfaces the vaporizable material is absorbed and from which the vapor is released. The holes are unobstructed by the seat. The battery is connected to energize the blower which produces a stream of air to pass over the surfaces of the holes and produce the vapor.
