Vehicle scent diffusing system

A vehicle duct assembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, comprising:

• a duct including a receiving extension defining a receiving cavity, and wherein the receiving extension defines locating tracks;
• a holder assembly selectively disposed within the receiving cavity, wherein the holder assembly includes slides configured to be slidably received within the locating tracks, and wherein an interior of the holder assembly is in fluid communication with an interior of the duct via openings defined by the holder assembly, wherein the holder assembly includes coupling features configured to selectively engage the receiving extension to couple the holder assembly to the duct, and wherein the holder assembly includes a lever coupled to the coupling features, and further wherein the lever is configured to disengage the holder assembly from the duct via movement of the lever;
• and
• a scented pad disposed within the interior of the holder assembly, and wherein air directed through the duct by said heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system flows through the interior of the holder assembly to diffuse a scent within the air.

A duct assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a duct including a receiving extension defining a receiving cavity, wherein the receiving extension defines apertures in a connecting wall thereof;
• and
• a holder assembly configured to receive a scented pad, wherein the holder assembly includes:
• a body defining an opening, wherein an interior of the body is in fluid communication with an interior of the duct via openings;
• snap features coupled to the body, wherein the snap features are selectively disposed within the apertures to couple the holder assembly to the receiving extension;
• and
• a lever coupled to the snap features, wherein the lever is configured to disengage the snap features from the apertures in response to a predefined force.
