  • Patent number: 4383377
    Abstract: Apparatus for efficiently and inexpensively deodorizing rooms, such as restrooms in commercial establishments, on an as needed basis is disclosed. The apparatus operates in conjunction with a standard hot air hand dryer commonly found in public and commercial washrooms, restrooms, showers, and the like. When the hot air dryer is used in conjunction with this invention, a powerful flow of air is moved past a deodorizer source thereby providing the deodorizing. Thus, the more useage of the hot air dryer, the more room deodorizing is provided. The apparatus includes a cup or housing container which is securely mounted or attached to the intake grill of the hot air hand dryer. The cup or container includes openings or apertures at selected locations such that the free flow of intake air is not inhibited. There is also included, in an unobvious location of the cup, a larger opening or slot suitable for placing a stick or disk of a vaporizable deodorizer in the container.
