Abstract
An improved artificial horticultural product air freshener comprised of a vase-like outer decorative housing formed to appear like crystal, said housing co-axially encompassing a replaceable inner aromatic fluid-containing vessel conforming generally to the shape of the inner wall of the outer housing, but spaced therefrom. The upper rim of the housing is provided with a cap through which extend, supported thereby, one or more stem-like wicks down into the bottom of the vessel and up into one or more artificial leaf-like or flower-like dispenser elements. When the fluid has been dissipated, the vessel may be replaced.
Claims12
An artificial horticultural product air freshener combination comprising:
- (a) a first outer vessel, said first vessel being in the form of a vase having a base portion from which upwardly and inwardly tapers a neck portion which neck portion defines an open passageway, said passageway having a predetermined diameter and open at its upper extremity;
- (b) a second inner vessel, said second vessel being closed at its bottom and having a lower portion and an upper portion, said second vessel being disposable within the first vessel and having an outer diameter for its upper portion which is less than said predetermined diameter of the passageway defined by the neck portion of said first vessel, said second vessel containing a volatile fluid, the vapor of which, when allowed to dissipate into the atmosphere, produces a desired olfactory effect, said second vessel having an opening at the top of its upper portion and a removable first closure for said opening;
- (c) a second orificed closure to replace the first closure upon its removal;
- (d) a decorative artificial horticultural product, said product including a sponge-like element, said element having an opening into its interior;
- and
- (e) an elongated wick, said wick being in a form simulating a plant or leaf stem, one end of said wick being removably insertable in said opening in said element and the other end of said wick being passed through the orifice in the second closure to extend down through the said opening in the second vessel and into contact with the fluid container therein.
An artificial horticultural product air freshener combination comprising:
- (a) a first outer vessel, said first vessel being in the form of a vase having a base portion from which upwardly and inwardly tapers a neck portion which neck portion defines an open passageway, said passageway having a predetermined diameter and open at its upper extremity,
- (b) a second inner vessel, said second vessel being closed at its bottom and having a lower portion and an upper portion, said second vessel being disposable within the first vessel and having an outer diameter for its upper portion which is less than said predetermined diameter of the passageway defined by the neck portion of said first vessel, said second vessel containing a volatile fluid, the vapor of which, when allowed to dissipate into the atmosphere, produces a desired olfactory effect, said vessel having an opening at the top of its upper portion and a removable first closure for said opening;
- (c) a second orificed closure to replace the first closure upon its removal;
- and
- (d) an artificial horticultural product arrangement, said arrangement including at least one artificial flower and at least one artificial leaf, said flower being supported with reference to said second vessel by a first downwardly extending elongated flexible stem and said leaf being formed of a flat sponge-like pad having an opening therein, said leaf being supported with reference to said second vessel by a second elongated flexible stem passed through an orifice in said second closure and into the said second vessel to extend downwardly with said first stem into said second vessel, at least one of said stems being in the form of a wick which extends into the second vessel to contact the fluid, thereby to conduct by capillary action the fluid from the second vessel up to the flower or leaf which it supports.
