Claims7
An odor treatment dispenser for treating an odor, a canister containing an odor treatment substance, a nozzle depressing into the canister dispensing the odor treatment substance, the odor treatment dispenser comprising:
- a housing extending between a primary end and a secondary end and defining a housing chamber;
- a housing aperture traversing said housing, wherein the housing aperture is a single dispensing aperture disposed through a front face of said housing;
- said secondary end having a secondary aperture configured to receive the canister, wherein when the canister is fully received within the housing chamber, the nozzle of the canister aligns with the housing aperture when depressed, such that the odor treatment substance is dispensed directly through the housing aperture;
- at least one mounting bracket disposed on said housing, wherein the at least one mounting bracket is disposed on the front face of said housing, and wherein the at least one mounting bracket is configured to suspend said housing on a lip of an animal container wall in a longitudinally horizontal orientation such that the single housing aperture is disposed above the animal container wall;
- a motor in said housing chamber for providing a first rotational force and a second rotational force;
- a housing actuator slidably engaging within said housing chamber;
- a threaded aperture within said housing actuator;
- a threaded pin coupling said motor with said housing actuator and threadably engaging said threaded aperture;
- said first rotational force causing an expanding displacement of said housing actuator relative to said motor for engaging said housing actuator with the nozzle and dispensing the odor treatment substance from said housing;
- said second rotational force causing a retracting displacement of said housing actuator relative to said motor for disengaging said housing actuator with the nozzle and terminating the dispensing of the odor treatment substance from said housing;
- a primary aperture in said primary end, wherein the primary aperture is configured to receive a replaceable battery;
- a replaceable battery positioned within said housing chamber;
- and
- said replaceable battery electrically coupled to said motor when positioned within said housing chamber.
