Abstract
The present invention provides a scent dispenser device for positioning adjacent an air filter for infusing the air passing through the air filter with a scent that includes an air filter and a scent dispenser device. The scent dispenser device further includes a base having a bore for allowing air to flow through the base, a valve having at least one air passageway for allowing air to flow through the valve from the base, a scented media disposed within the base, and a cap that is rotationally engaged to the valve and controls the flow of air into base.
Claims20
A scent dispenser device, comprising:
- a base containing a locking hub positioned within a center of the base, wherein the locking hub contains a centrally located bore and at least one retention slot disposed adjacent the bore;
- a scented media disposed within the base
- a cap with a top side and a bottom side;
- a first air passageway that directs air towards the cap without passing through the scented media;
- and
- a generally cylindrical valve containing a second air passageway for allowing air to flow into the base and at least one resiliently flexible finger having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is engaged to the valve and the lower portion is selectively secured to the at least one retention slot;
- whereby the air in the first air passageway contacts the bottom side of the cap which causes the air to change direction and flows through the second air passageway and into the base.
A scent dispenser device for positioning adjacent an air filter for infusing the air passing through the air filter with a scent, comprising:
- an air filter;
- a scent dispenser device;
- comprising;
- a base containing a locking hub positioned within a center of the base, wherein the locking hub contains a centrally located hollow bore for allowing air to flow through the bore;
- a scented media disposed within the base;
- a valve having at least one first air passageway for allowing air to flow through the valve from the base and a second air passageway for allowing air to flow into the base and contact the scented media;
- and
- a cap having a first side and a second side that is rotationally engaged to the valve and controls the flow of air into base;
- whereby the valve contains an outer portion that extends beyond the periphery of the cap and air is directed through the bore of the base and through the first air passageway of the valve wherein the air contacts the second side of the cap, causing the air to proceed through a second air passageway of the valve and into the base.
A scent dispenser device for positioning adjacent an air filter for infusing the air passing through the air filter with a scent, comprising:
- an air filter;
- a scent dispenser device;
- comprising,
- a base containing a locking hub positioned within a center of the base, wherein the locking hub contains a centrally located hollow bore for allowing air to flow through the bore;
- a scented media disposed within the base;
- a valve having at least one first air passageway for allowing air to flow through the valve from the bore of the base, without passing through the scent media, and a second air passageway disposed on the valve for allowing air to flow into the base and contact the scented media;
- and
- a cap that is rotationally engaged to the valve and controls the flow of air into base and the cap may be rotated from a first position to a second position, wherein the first position prevents air from flowing through the second air passageway and into the base and the second position allows air to flow through the second air passageway and into the base.
