AIR FRESHENER CANISTERS

摘要

An air freshener canister includes a container, a nipple thereon and a cap threadably matable therewith. The cap can be positioned along the length of the nipple from a closed position with the cap rim against the exterior surface of the container and an open position wherein there is spacing between the rim and exterior surface. A volatile liquid in the container emits air freshener vapors. A wick runs from the liquid to the nipple. When the cap is in the open position, vapors escape from the wick through the spacing. When the cap is in the closed position the vapors are prevented from escaping. When the cap is removed from the nipple the container may be refilled with the volatile liquid. The escape of vapors may be increased or decreased by positioning the cap on the nipple to increase or decrease the spacing.

主权项

1. An air freshener canister comprising:
a. a container having an exterior surface and a mouth opening through the exterior surface; b. a nipple on the exterior surface of the container extending from the mouth opening, the nipple having an interior surface and an exterior surface; c. a cap having a closed end, an open end, a rim around the open end and an interior surface, the interior surface of the cap slidably engagable with the exterior surface of the nipple to enable the cap to be selectively positioned between:
i. a closed position wherein the rim is juxtaposed against the exterior surface of the container,ii. an open position wherein there is a spacing between the rim and the exterior surface of the container, andiii. a refill position wherein the cap has been removed from the nipple; d. a volatile liquid composition within the container that emits air freshener vapors; e. a wick for absorbing the volatile liquid, the wick having a length, a first end and second end, wherein the first end and a first portion of the length of the wick is surrounded by and in contact with the volatile liquid composition, and the second end and a remaining portion of the wick extend into the nipple; whereby when the cap is in the open position air freshener vapors escape from the volatile liquid composition absorbed on the wick through the spacing between the rim and the exterior surface of the container into the air, when in the closed position air freshener vapors are prevented from escaping and when the cap is removed the container may be refilled with the volatile liquid composition.
