Abstract
Scent emitting blind operating apparatus including a hollow rod, defining an inner chamber, with a closed end and an open end, with the inner chamber of the rod being designed to receive and hold scented material. A blind engaging plug is removably positioned in the open end of the hollow rod for operative engagement with a blind so as to position the inner chamber generally vertically with the closed end directed downwardly. A sleeve of absorbent material is frictionally engaged over the closed end of the hollow rod and an opening is formed through the hollow rod and positioned to communicate the inner chamber with the absorbent material for directing scented material from the inner chamber into the absorbent material.

Scent emitting blind operating apparatus comprising:
- a body, including an elongated hollow rod, defining an inner chamber with a closed end and an open end, the inner chamber being designed to receive and hold scented material;
- a blind engaging plug removably positioned in the open end for operative engagement with a blind so as to position the inner chamber generally vertically with the closed end directed downwardly, the blind engaging plug includes an elongated piece of material formed to frictionally fit into the open end of the hollow rod and further includes a metal connector designed to be engaged with a control member of a blind;
- and
- an opening through the body communicating the inner chamber with an outer surface for gradually dispensing scented material from the inner chamber to a surrounding atmosphere.
Scent emitting blind operating apparatus comprising:
- a body defining an inner chamber with a closed end and an open end, the inner chamber being designed to receive and hold scented material;
- a blind engaging plug removably positioned in the open end for operative engagement with a blind so as to position the inner chamber generally vertically with the closed end directed downwardly;
- an opening through the body communicating the inner chamber with an outer surface for gradually dispensing scented material from the inner chamber to a surrounding atmosphere;
- and
- an absorbent material affixed to an outer surface of the body in communication with the opening and adjacent the closed end.
A method of dispersing scent in a room comprising the steps of:
- providing scent emitting blind operating apparatus including a hollow rod shaped body defining an inner chamber with a closed end and an open end, the inner chamber being designed to receive and hold scented material, a blind engaging plug removably positioned in the open end for operative engagement with a blind so as to position the inner chamber generally vertically with the closed end directed downwardly, and an opening through the body communicating the inner chamber with an outer surface for gradually dispensing scented material from the inner chamber to a surrounding atmosphere;
- removing the plug from the open end and introducing scented material into the inner chamber;
- replacing the plug in the open end and operatively engaging the plug with a blind in the room so that the body is positioned with the closed end directed generally downwardly to allow the scented material to gradually escape through the opening into the room;
- and
- frictionally engaging a sleeve of absorbent material over the closed end of the hollow rod shaped body.
