Claims
I claim:
1. A deodorizing device comprising a sealed envelope including a
front sheet heat sealed to a back sheet, each of said sheets
comprising an interior heat-sealable plastic layer, an intermediate
metal foil layer and an exterior paper layer, and contained in the
envelope an absorbent material having absorbed therein a perfume,
said envelope being openable to expose the absorbent material to
the atmosphere thereby to cause evaporation of the perfume from the
material into the atmosphere, and said device further comprising
means for adhesively attaching the envelope to a surface.
2. A deodorizing device according to claim 1, in which the
absorbent material comprises a sheet of paper.
Description
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to deodorizers adapted to be
positioned on a wall or other surface of an enclosed area.
One common type of a deodorizing means is a bottle having a wick
extending therefrom serving to evaporate the deodorizing means into
the air environment of the room into which it is placed. This
device is unsatisfactory since it must be positioned in such a way
that it freely communicates with the environment air. It must be
positioned either on the floor, a shelf, or a cabinet, etc., and
therefore this device is unattractive.
Another prior art device utilized to deodorize a room and the like
is comprised of a structure adapted to be hung on a garbage pail,
toilet bowl rim or other structures that emit noxious odors. This
device is inherently unsatisfactory since it is attractive to young
children who can remove the same and handle the uncovered
deodorizer.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a
deodorizing means to be utilized in a bathroom, or any other room
or enclosure, such as a car, which will not be readily visible in
use.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a
deodorizing structure which will not function intermittently, but
which will give substantially uniform deodorization at all
times.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a
deodorizing structure which can be easily installed without
physically handling the product itself.
Further objects and advantageous features of the present invention
will become apparent from the following drawings wherein:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the deodorizing means holder
according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the deodorizing means holder
illustrated in FIG. 1 taken along the lines 2-2 thereof; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the deodorizing means holder
illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 attached to the bowl of a toilet.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
An envelope 10 is made according to the present invention by
sealing a first or back sheet member 11 to a second or front member
12 thereby establishing a container 13 therebetween. Sealed within
this container, 13 is a mass 14 of material such as paper or the
like, which has been impregnated with perfume or other deodorizing
compounds. The presently preferred absorbing mass is a sheet of
porous paper, such as filter paper. The envelope 11 is constructed
so that it can be torn horizontally at one end thereof whereby the
paper can be pulled outwardly from the container.
By pulling the paper slightly out of the container the surface area
of this paper exposed to the air can be increased and the degree of
evaporation of the perfume will be increased thereby. As a result a
method is provided for varying the degree of deodorization.
By inclining this torn end a slight amount with regard to the
horizontal the sheet of paper or the like will be prevented from
falling out. The deodorizing compound or perfume naturally settles
by the force of gravity downwardly to the bottom portion of the
paper and is allowed to evaporate therefrom. To better control the
rate of evaporation of the deodorizing or perfume compound, an
evaporating inhibitor in the form of an oil can be utilized which
is also impregnated into the filter paper 14. A transfer adhesive
strip 16 is affixed on the back of the envelope and the entire
holder is attached or secured to a wall or structure in the
enclosed space desired to be deodorized after removing the transfer
adhesive strip.
The deodorizing holder as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, constructed in
accordance with the present invention, is hardly noticeable,
assures that a substantially uniform rate of deodorant or perfume
evaporation will prevail at all times and can be positioned (FIG.
3) in such a way that children will not notice it and furthermore,
because of the strong adhesive properties of the transfer adhesive
tape 16, its removal is difficult.
In the preferred embodiment the front and back sheets are each
comprised of a layer of polyethylene inside, with a layer of
aluminum foil thereon and a layer of paper on top of the aluminum
foil. These sheets are heat sealed together to form a container
and, by coloring the paper layer to be the color of the walled
surface on which it is to be attached it even further blends into
the decor of the wall or surface to which it is attached.
