Embodiment Construction

[0018] refer to figure 1 and FIG. 2 , an air freshening (or purification) device 10 is shown. The device 10 comprises a main container 11 and a refill container 12 . The main container 11 comprises two parts, a first (outer) part 13 having a base 14 and a peripheral side wall 15 . The second (inner) portion 16 also has a peripheral side wall 17 shaped and dimensioned to fit snugly within the side wall 15 of the main container 11 . The inner portion 16 also has a flange 18 extending inwardly from the side wall 17 defining an aperture 22 . Air freshening or purifying vapor leaves the device through the hole 22 .

[0019] Referring to Figure 2, the inner part 13, the outer part 16 are provided with cooperating locking means to secure them together. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking member comprises a hole 19 in the side wall 15 of the first (outer) part 13 for receiving a small plug on the outer surface of the side wall 17 of the second (inner) part. (spigot) 20. W...

Abstract

The invention relates to improvements in or relating to containers and in particular to an air freshening or purifying device comprising a primary container (11) comprising an inner section (16) and outer section (13) each having a circumferential side wall. One of the sections has retaining means which defines at least one vapour release aperture and the other having a base. The inner section (16) side wall is dimensioned so as to fit inside the outer section (13) side wall, the two sections being interlockable to form the primary container (11). A refill container (12) has a gel receiving surface having at least one recess for receiving a gel composition, and is located and firmly held within the primary container (11), the base being provided with means (23) for attachment of the device to a surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to containers, and in particular to an air freshening or purifying device using a gel fragrance or other gel composition comprising a base container for receiving a refill containing the composition (refill). Background technique [0002] US-A-5780527 describes a gel that can be used as a fragrance component in air freshening devices. The gel is particularly advantageous since it can be used in attractively shaped open containers that do not need to be sealed. One air freshening device currently on the market includes an attractive glass open-sided container that is recessed to form a tray having a base and peripheral side walls. The disc stands upright on a flat portion of its perimeter. A plurality of ridges are provided on the inner surface of the container base, defining channels between the ridges in which the gel is retained. As the fragrance dissipates over time, the gel shrinks an...
