Methods and apparatus for toilet paper roll holder vapor dispenser

A vapor-dispensing toilet paper roll holder apparatus for holding a toilet paper roll, the apparatus comprising:

• a first housing portion;
• a second housing portion;
• a spring configured to hold said first and second housing portions in axial extension and to substantially prevent rotation of said toilet paper roll holder when toilet paper is being removed from the toilet paper roll;
• at least one vent in at least one of said first and second housing portions;
• a material delivery system contained within said toilet paper roll holder having a volatizable material, wherein said volatizable material remains substantially stationary with respect to said first and second housing portions when removing toilet paper from the toilet paper roll, and wherein removing toilet paper from the toilet paper roll on said toilet paper roll holder increases volatization of said volatizable material;
• wherein said at least one vent further comprises an adjustable venting structure comprising:
• a first set of vents in said first housing portion;
• a second set of vents in said second housing portion, wherein said second housing portion is axially rotatable with respect to said first housing portion;
• and
• said adjustable venting structure having a maximum setting when said first set of vents and said second set of vents are aligned to produce a maximum opening, and a minimum setting when said first set of vents and said second set of vents are substantially misaligned.

A passive vapor-dispensing toilet paper roll holder apparatus comprising:

• a first housing portion;
• a second housing portion, wherein said first and second housing portions are configured to align axially with axial adjustment relative to each other, wherein at least one of said first and second housing portions comprises at least one vent;
• a material delivery system comprising a volatizable material and a wick, wherein said material delivery system is contained within said toilet paper roll holder;
• wherein a first end of said wick is immersed in said volatizable material, and wherein said wick is oriented substantially parallel to the axis of said toilet paper roll holder;
• a spring configured to hold said first and second housing portions in an extended axial position and configured to substantially prevent rotation of said toilet paper roll holder;
• wherein said first and second housing portions are configured to be adjustable relative to each other to create at least an open position and a closed position, wherein in said closed position all of the at least one vents in said housing are covered to create a temporary barrier between said volatizable material and an external environment, and wherein in said open position at least one of said at least one vent is substantially open to allow said volatizable material to escape to the external environment;
• and
• wherein the apparatus is activated by adjusting said first housing portion relative to said second housing portion to said open position from said closed position.

A vapor-dispensing toilet paper roll holder apparatus comprising:

• a first housing portion;
• a second housing portion:
• at least one vent in at least one of said first and second housing portions;
• a reservoir containing a high intensity fragrance oil and located within said toilet paper roll holder;
• a wick located within said toilet paper roll holder and configured to deliver said high intensity fragrance oil in the form of a vapor, said wick having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion extending into said reservoir, wherein said wick is oriented substantially parallel to the axis of said toilet paper roll holder;
• and
• a spring configured to maintain said first and second portions in an axially elongated position, and configured to substantially prevent the rotation of said toilet paper roll holder;
• and
• wherein said first and second housing portions are configured to be adjustable relative to each other to create at least an open position and a closed position, wherein in said closed position all of the at least one vents in said housing are covered to create a temporary barrier between said volatizable material and an external environment, and wherein in said open position at least one of said at least one vent is substantially open to allow said volatizable material to escape to the external environment.
