AIR FRESHENER

D E S C R I P C I Ó N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an air freshener, and more specifically to an electric air freshener based on conventional mikado air fresheners.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that based on conventional mikado type air fresheners, allows to regulate the level or degree of setting, based on the generation of an air flow that is controlled in a controlled manner over the air freshener, thus enhancing its performance .

The invention has a special application in the hotel sector, although it can be equally applicable to the domestic sector.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The traditional mikado type air fresheners consist of a small container, usually made of glass, filled with an air freshener product, which by capillarity ascends through some rods that in contact with the air, and due to their porosity they act as diffuser elements of the aromas of the air freshener product.

This type of device works very effectively when the rooms in which they are located are well ventilated, that is, when there is a current of air in that instance, so that when the air does not run, the aroma diffusion capacity of the device looks noticeably depleted

In any case, these types of devices, to date, do not have means of regulating the level of setting.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The air freshener that is recommended solves in a completely satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, based on a simple but effective solution, allowing to regulate the degree of diffusion of aromas of the device, besides being an extremely attractive decorative element, and offering additional benefits as means for recharging mobile devices and other electrical devices.

For this purpose, and more specifically, the device of the invention starts as is conventional from a container, preferably of glass, open at the top, which will be filled with the air freshener product deemed convenient, and which houses a plurality of wooden rods of a suitable porosity, that is to say the classic "mikados", with the particularity that said container is intended to be implanted on a housing in which immobilization means are established for said container, housing that will have a connection cable to the mains, and in which a motherboard is established, associated with a micro-fan of adjustable speed, speed that will be regulated through an external control arranged on the front face of the housing.

The housing will have internally openings, ducts and / or baffles that allow redirecting the air flow generated by the fan to higher outlets or slots through which said air is projected on the mikados.

In this way, depending on the air flow selected with the selector, the level or degree of setting can be increased or decreased when there is a greater or lesser evaporation of the product in which said rods or mikados are soaked, thus regulating the degree at will of atmosphere according to the tastes of each client.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that a light base, preferably based on diodes, be established on the support base of the carrier carrying the mikados, so that, being the glass container and be able to be of any color, significantly enhance the decorative appearance of the air freshener.

In parallel, and given the shortage of plugs that usually exist in hotels, the preferred area of the device of the invention, the motherboard with its corresponding power supply, may have one or more externally connected connectors connected to the housing, for example of type USB, to recharge mobile phones, tablets or similar, without having to disconnect the air freshener.

In this area of application, it is provided that the device is screwed to the wall through a metal plate linked to the device housing, to prevent its theft, said housing also including prisoners who immobilize the container carrying the fragrance and the mikados in order to also prevent the theft of said container, which can be filled without having to be disassembled, through its upper mouth.

This achieves an adjustable air freshener, very aesthetic and with additional functionalities, such as the aforementioned possibility of recharging several electronic devices through it.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will then be made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device of the invention is constituted from a housing (1-1 '), which in the chosen embodiment has a prismatic configuration in the form of "V", although said configuration could vary without affecting the essence of the invention, there being defined an upper zone (2) formally and dimensionally suitable for receiving on it a container (3) carrying the air freshener fluid.

In the chosen embodiment variant, the container (3) has a hexagonal prismatic configuration, based on two bodies, a main body, made of glass, which corresponds to the reference itself (3), and a lid (3 ') to beautifier mode, which is attached to the neck (4) of the main body, neck in which the classic rods (6) or mikados, of wood, will be inserted, depending on diffusion elements of aromas by evaporation of the fluid in which they are soaked .

The container (3) may have different colors depending on the type of fragrance contained within it, so that the housing (1-1 ') has in its upper area (2) a light base (5) based on diodes LED or similar, connected to a motherboard (7) that, through an outlet (8), is connected to the corresponding power plug of the device.

Said base plate (7) has a micro-fan (9) whose flow of driven air is adjustable through a control (10) established on the front face of the housing (1).

The air is propelled inside the housing to some outlet slots (11), located in the upper area of the housing, so that said air is projected upwards, towards the area where the rods (6) are located. ) or mikados, promoting the evaporation of the fluid in which they are soaked.

Taking advantage of the network connection available to the device, it is provided that it includes one or more USB connection ports (12) accessible laterally from the housing (1-1 ').

Although the described device can be applied in the domestic environment, when it is destined for its implantation in hotels and similar, it is foreseen that it has anti-theft security means, for which, it is linked murally by means of a plate (13) with the corresponding screw-in holes to the wall (14), from which 10 arms (15) inserted in respective holes of the rear half shell (1 ') emerge, with holes (16) through which stud screws are passed (17) that thread in threaded plates (18) fitted between the two half housings (1-1 '), and that are through through said housing until reaching the upper area (2) thereof, so that these screws prisoners may be used in parallel to immobilize the container (3) by fitting into holes (19) provided on the sides of said container (3), although said means of blocking the container may not exist, or materialize in retractable elements useful against the tension of a spring such as spheres or the like, to facilitate the extraction of the container (3) when it is not at risk of being stolen, for example in the domestic environment.
