Benefits of technology

[0010]It is, therefore, the principal object of this invention to provide an attachment for application to an air vent, either upstream or downstream from a blower, so that its fragrance insert can be picked up by the moving air, and transmitted into a room, building, or the like, to enhance its aroma.
[0011]Still another object of this invention is to provide a fragrance insert, supported by an attachment that may be conveniently and easily applied to and within the path of moving air, to allow for the pick up of its fragrance, and transfer into an occupied space, to enhance its aroma.
[0012]Still another object of this invention is to provide a packaged attachment, including a fragrance insert, that can be conveniently packaged, shipped, stored, and displayed for marketing, until such time as it is purchased and applied by the home or building owner, as during usage.

Problems solved by technology

Many of these inventions are elaborate, even motor driven, battery operated, complicated and costly devices.
Many of these devices work well but require the consumer to purchase “refill” scent cartridges from the original manufacturer, the consumer has no flexibility once they begin to use the particular system.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]In referring to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1A through 1D, the assembly of the attachment 1 of this invention is readily disclosed. In FIG. 1A, the various pellets that are coated with a fragrance, or into which a fragrance is absorbed, are shown at 2. These can be any type of pellet that can absorb or be coated with a fragrance, such as ceramic, wood chips, paperboard, or any other type of pellet that can function as a carrier and absorb a fragrance which can be emitted as a stream of air is passed thereby, as being generated from a blower, fan, or the like. As noted in FIG. 1B, the attachment, in this embodiment, includes a strip of a foraminous cloth 3 whether it be wire cloth, a textile screen, polymer screen, or any related type of material that will hold the pellets 2 in place, within the interior of the attachment, but at the same time, allow the free flow of air therethrough. The attachment has upper and lower ends, as at 4 and 5, and these may be formed of p...

Abstract

An attachment for a fan, blower of other air moving device encompassing, and made of or designed to hold a scented material. The attachment may be constructed from any flexible, rigid or semi rigid material. A scented material base utilizing or made of paper, polymer, plastic, cardboard, ceramic, gel or other fragrance containing substrate that can be contained or placed inside said attachment. When the fan or blower is turned on a scent is emitted throughout the space. The attachment is available in standard or custom sizes, scents, shapes or colors to fit any standard fan or blower. The air movement produced creates a scent dispersion/diffusion effect.
