Deodorizing air vent attachment

#The present invention relates to a deodizer-type device which is designed for direct attachment at the fitting of a vent opening thereby using the natural air flow of the air through the vent to carry the deodorizer effect into a room.

#Most deodorizers are nothing more than stationary units provided with a scented deodorant carried by the natural convection currents within a room. However, with these stationary type units, one is generally only able to notice the effects within several feet of the unit. In most cases, the convection currents are not strong enough to carry the deodorizing effects any significant distance from the unit.

#In some instances, people will actually use fans positioned beside the stationary units to get a better movement of air past the deodorizer.

#The above as well as other advantages and features of the present invention will be described in greater detail according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention in which;

#FIG. 1 shows an air vent set up provided with a deodorizer receiving device secured in an operating position.

#FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the set up of FIG. 1 showing the ventilation effects through the deodorizer receiving device.

#FIG. 1 shows, with the exception of device 1, a relatively standard air vent set up. This air vent set up includes a fitting for the vent opening comprising a vent flow damper D which is movable between a fully closed and a fully opened position and a vent cover C to the outside surface of the vent opening.

#FIG. 1 shows the damper D in an opened position allowing a flow of air through the vent opening past the grilled cover C. The vent opening is on the positive or blower side of the air ventilation system in a house or building so that the air passes out of the vent into a room. This air may be used for heating or cooling of the room or it may be non-heat treated air for venting purposes only.

#As noted above, the unique feature of the set up of Figure is in the inclusion of device 1 attached directly to the damper D. This device is best seen having reference to FIG. 3 of the drawings and is constructed as described immediately below.
