We describe a small hanging case with a built-in air freshener, of the type that are used suspended, which comprises two halves with a sensibly rectangular configuration with rounded edges, susceptible to being coupled to each other under pressure by means of tonguing and grooving, for which purpose the male half incorporates a perimeter lip in the coupling area in the form of an O-ring, and the opposite half includes two skirts that press on this lip, providing an airtight joint between both halves. The interior of the case contains a cellulose material plate, impregnated with the aroma and possibly of a different colour associated with each fragrance, with undulated edges and a central slot in a longitudinal direction, for purposes of increasing the evaporation surface area. Each of the halves includes ventilation grilles, with those of one half in the upper position and those of the opposite half in the lower position, thereby facilitating the ascending circulation of the air.
Hanging box with built-in air freshener, characterised in that it comprises two interconnectable press-fit pieces, a female front which incorporates on its inner plane a low peripheral shoulder that rises from the back of the front piece, forming a similarly peripheral groove between the small inner shoulder and the partition in the profile of the actual piece, presenting on the front plane and in its upper half one or more through holes making up a grille for the issue of the now perfumed air including, likewise in its upper and exteriorly projecting part, a small strip pierced in the centre of its width to enable the air freshener to be suspended, while the box is completed with a rear male piece which incorporates on its inner plane a projecting partition wall that runs internally all round the perimeter of the piece, close to its edge, said partition incorporating at the edge of its end and all along its outer perimeter an external protruding lip in the form of an O-ring, which fits into the groove in the female front piece when the box is closed, so that a fully airtight and watertight seal is obtained, while the rear male piece presents on its front plane and in its lower half one or more through-holes forming a grille for the intake of ambient air.
Hanging box with built-in air freshener according to the previous claim, characterised in that the absorbent cellulose plate housed in the box, with an approximate thickness of 3.8 millimetres, presents trimmed undulations all round its outside edge, permitting the passage of air to facilitate the evaporation of the perfume with which the cellulose plate is impregnated, while the actual plate is also provided at its centre with a vertical groove, with the result in both cases that the possibility of evaporation of the perfume in these areas may be greater, as the air flows over the undulations and along the central groove.
