Air freshener for motor vehicles

Abstract

An air freshening device designed for use in motor vehicles. This device has a housing that is adapted for insertion into the motor vehicle cigarette lighter socket, implementing volt adapter technology for alternate uses of automobile cigarette lighter sockets (eg., adapters for . . . cellular phone, fax machines, televisions, DC Players, hair dryers, curling irons, even blenders). Within the housing there is alight. The light has a controllable variable resister which reflects the heat range and amount of light produced. The light has three functions: First to heat and activate the gel/cartridge, second, to produce a cosmetically pleasing color glow in the gel cartridge, third, the illuminated color glow fades as the fragrance is exhausted therefore acting as an indicator/gage to alert the user as to the amount of gel fragrance remaining. The gel/cartridge is removable from the housing. It is made of a type of plastic which is reactive to heat/warmth. The gel inside the plastic cartridge when heated produces a selected fragrance.
