Abstract: A deodorizer mounting for engagement into a wall-mounted electrical outlet box including an adsorber unit for removing gases and odors from the ambient atmosphere, a generally L-shaped bracket including a horizontal leg and a vertical leg, a cover plate having a front side and a rear side, at least one prong, mounted to and extending perpendicularly from the rear side of the cover plate, sized and spaced to engage the female receptacle of the electrical outlet box, and a means to affix the front side of the cover plate to the vertical leg of the L-shaped bracket. A mounting device and method of installation obviates or at least reduces the poor aesthetics of conventional wall-mounted adhesive units and the relatively high replacement costs for non-securable room deodorizers.

Abstract: A deodorizer mounting for engagement into a wall-mounted electrical outlet box. The present invention is constituted by an adsorber unit for removing gases and odors from the ambient atmosphere, a generally L-shaped bracket including a horizontal leg and a vertical leg, a cover plate having a front side and a rear side, at least one prong, mounted to and extending perpendicularly from the rear side of the cover plate, sized and spaced to engage the female receptacle of the electrical outlet box, and a means to affix the front side of the cover plate to the vertical leg of the L-shaped bracket. The invention provides a mounting device for deodorizers and a method of installation which obviates or at least reduces the poor aesthetics of conventional wall-mounted adhesive units and the relatively high replacement costs for non-securable room deodorizers.

Abstract: An improved gas and odor absorbing unit. The unit comprises a container having a bed of particulate odor and gas absorbing material therein constituting a molecular sieve. A tubular passage extends through the container and bed and is provided with a perforated peripheral wall adjacent the bed. The bed is fully enclosed except at the perforated tube wall. Air containing moisture, gases and odors is directed through the tubular passage. The molecular sieve bed has an affinity for gases and odors and an affinity for moisture as well. By directing the air through the tubular passage, rather than directly through the bed itself, more of the gases and odord and less moisture will be absorbed by the bed, increasing the working life of the bed. This effect may be further improved if the tubular passage is provided with diffuser material such as baffles, polyester, or fiberglass to slow down and disperse the air passing therethrough.

Abstract: The present invention is a circuit for activating a local alarm when a telephone service line is cut. A closed loop circuit is formed by a pair of insulated monitor wires electrically connected at their first ends to a resistor and electrically connected at their second ends to a normally closed circuit of an alarm. The wires are secured to a telephone service line. Shrink tubing encapsulates the wires and the service line together in a single cable. When the cable is cut, thereby severing either or both of the insulated monitor wires as well, the closed loop circuit is opened, thereby activating the alarm. In various embodiments of the invention, circuitry is provided upstream from the cable for signaling a telephone company of a loss of a service line connection. A load or signal is generated by the circuitry and transmitted over telephone service lines. When such a load is detected, proper authorities can be notified of the loss of the service line connection.
