Improvements in Disinfecting Apparatus,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates essentially to that `class of disinfecting devices in which the fumes emanating trema volatile chemical are forced from a cabinet or compartment to deodorize the atmosphere.

The fundamental object of the invention i is to provide the cabinet with a rotary fan operated by the actuation of the cabinet to drive the gaseous mixture in the air surrounding the cabinet.

The invention designed to mount a number of attractive advertisements on the Walls of the cabinet so that a curious personv in order to see all the advertisements on the numerous sides of the cabinet will be tempted to revolve the cabinet. y

The novel features of the invention are more fully described in the following speciication and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:

' hereinafter described.-

' Figure l represents a vertical section of a device embodying this invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken along the line m ot' the same.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken along the line 'y y of the same. y

In this drawing the letter a designates a wall or other stationary object which is provided with bracketsv-b projecting from the wall. These brackets are equipped with bolts 0 and d the object of which will be The cabinet includes a top-e and a bottomf connected together by means of vert-ical corner posts f. The top and bottom has perforations e to permit free circulation into or expel the air from the compartment. A series of frames g form the back, front and sides of the cabinet. Each i'rame is adapted to mount a card board k having a picture or other matter printed thereon to represent an advertise ment.V The card board is covered by a sheet of glass z' slid into the frame. Each `frame is locked to the cabinet by means of a spring Y latch y' in engagement witha catch 7o fixed to latch will release 'it from the catch. As shown 1n the drawing the card board cannot be removed from the Jtrame until the frame is taken from the cabinet. As indicated in the drawing the bolts c and d loosely coact with the holes in the bottom and top for the purpose of rotatively mounting the cabinet between the two brackets.

On the lower bolt (i is mounted a sleeve a having a pinion o' on its lower end and a series of fan blades 7? at its upper end. The pinion is engaged by a planetary gear q which is mounted on' a trame r connected to the bolt. The bottom f has fixed to it a ring s provided with internal teeth for engagement with the planetary gear.

On the interior of one of the frames g is mounted a bottle t containing a chemical such as a strong solution of ammonia. The bottle is inverted into a pan u secured to the frame. The pan is open at its top so that the Y[fumes from the solution will mix with the air in the compartment. Wicks fv eX- tending up along the bottle and into the solution will give increased evaporation of the solution by drawing some of the liquid from the pan. i

When the cabinet is rotated by a person it carries the drivin@ gear ring with it, and in turn-moves the p anetary gear in a concentric path about the axis' of the gear ring, at the same time rotating it. The planetary gear transmits accelerated rotary motion to the pinion 0 thus revolving the fan at greater speed than the internal driving gear. The fan drives the air impregnated with the chemical fumes through the holes in the top and bottom of the compartment.

I claim tl. In a disinfecting apparatus the combination with a rotary cabinet adapted to contain a disinfectant, of means operated by s the actuation of the cabinet for forcing the tuples from the disinfectant out of the cabine 2. In. a disinfecting apparatus the combination with a rotary cabinet-having perforated top and. bottom adapted to contain the disinfectant, of means operated by the actuation ot the cabinet for forcing the fumes from the disinfectant out of the top and bottom of the cabinet.

3. In a disinfecting apparatus the combination with a stationary object, ot a cabinet adapted to contain a disinfectantrotatively mounted onthe object, and means actuated by the rotation of thecabinet for expelling. the fumes from the disinfectant out of the cabinet.

4.' In a disi-nfecting apparatus the combif nation With a stationary object, of a cabinetl adapted to contain a disinfectant movably mounted on theobject, and a fan actuated by the movement ofthe' cabinet for expelling the fumes from the'jdisinfectant out of the cabinet.
