H. s. DEARLING ODQRIZING APPLIANCE Filed Aug. 18, 1934 INVENTOR B WIMWJKM ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 7, 1937 ODORIZING APPLIANCE Harry S. Dearling, New York, N. Y., assignor, by 11385118 assignments, to Perry Frucht, New York,
Application August 18, 1934, Serial No. 740,409
5 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in odorizing devices and more particularly to that type of odorizing device which is useful for odorizing the atmosphere of a roomor the contents of a bath, and is a continuation of my application, Serial Number 696,395, filed November 2, 1933.
Other objects of my invention are to provide an odorizing device which will odorize the contents of a room or a bath of Water without any adjustment in the device and without injury to its finish or operation; to provide a device in which a predetermined amount of the odorizing substance will be released upon exposure to the air or immersion in water; to provide a device which can be immersed in Water until its available volume is filled and then withdrawn, while at the same time permit the slow evacuation of the odorized water; to provide a device which can odorize the atmosphere of a room or the contents of a bath without regard to position of the device or method of dispensing its contents; to provide a device substantially incapable of absorbing the liquid in which it is immersed; to provide a substantially spherical device containing a series of upper and lower apertures for the release of air and water respectively; to provide an odorizing device which may be replenished and supported through a single means.
Various other objects and advantages of my invention will be hereinafter clearly and fully set forth.
In order to disclose more fully the nature and the novel features of my invention I shall describe the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing. It should be understood however that my invention is not limited to the particular structure illustrated but is susceptible of various modifications and is applicable tovarious other kinds of devices.
According to the preferred form of my invention I provide a perforated spherical container with a dispensing means located therein, an entrance to said container and dispensing means for replenishing said dispensing means, a closure for sealing said entrance and means attachable to said closure for supporting the entire apparatus.
In the drawing- Fig. 1 is a sectional side view of my device with supporting means attached to the closure;
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken through the plane 2-2 of Fig. 1 and in the direction indicated by the arrow; and
Fig. 3 is a side view of the apparatus illustrating its external appearance.
The device comprises a hollow substantially spherical container composed of a suitable material, preferably of metal, which will not interfere with the odorizing substance nor be afiected by water or other external substances.
The spherical container may have an upper and lower hemisphere Ill and II with their respective series of perforations I2 and I3. The lower hemisphere II may be embossed to provide a shoulder IIa for maintaining the odorizing device in an upright position with a central aperture III) for permitting the complete elimination of any water Within the container. Extending from the top of the hemisphere IE is a centrally located threaded neck I4, to which is screwably attached a cap I5. A supporting means, such as a flexible metallic chain I6, is
attached to the cap I5 by means of eyelet I5a.
The metallic chain I6 is provided with a ring Ifia for convenience in handling and supporting. d
Depending from the interior of the upper portion of the hemisphere II] and concentric with the neck I4 is a cylindrical chamber I'I. Concentric with the cylindrical chamber I'I is a cuplike cylinder I8. Between the two is provided a wick I9, composed of a resilient fibrous substance such as felt. A portion Iflb of the wick I9 extends above the upper perimeter of the cuplike chamber I8. The cylindrical chamber I1 is formed integral with the upper hemisphere Iii, may be soldered thereto, or may be formed with an upper threaded portion such as I4 depending through an aperture in the upper hemisphere Ill and soldered thereto. The upper and lower hemispheres II) and II are formed with concen- 1 tric bosses 20 and 200; which are turned on each other to form a water tight joint.
At the bottom of the cylindrical chamber I? is an aperture 2| which permits contact between the contents of the chamber I1 and the wick I913.
The device is operated as follows: The cap I5 which normally seals the contents of the chamber I1 is detached, a suitable odorizing substance, not shown, is inserted, therein, and the cap I5 replaced. Due to capillary action, the liquid con tent rises in the wick I9 to the point indicated at the reference numeral I9b, where it comes into contact with the atmosphere or the liquid contents of the outer chamber. The odorizing device usually supported by the chain ring Ifia may water within the ball when the container is withdrawn. This insures that the wick I91) will come in contact with and exert its odorizing influence on the water within the ball to a predetermined degree. By having the exit and entrance apertures for the water at the bottom of the ball a definite stream is provided within the ball which washes up and down along the wick I912. The ring [6a may be permanently attached to some 10 fixture in the bath permitting the ball to be immersed in the water and withdrawn, yet always insuring that the ball will be available when its use is desired. Yet, the dispensing means may be unscrewed from the supporting means, its con- 15 tents replenished and rescrewed into the cap without difficulty. This is especially important where the supporting means is permanently attached out of reach to an overhead shower while the ball itself lies within reach and available for 20 replenishment.
The wick I9 is shown in one piece, but the bottom portion lfia may be separately inserted and of thicker construction, which causes the cylinder I 8 to be supported lower and expose more wick at 1%.
It should be apparent that the odorizing device may be useful for odorizing the atmosphere of room or contents of bath without any adjustment in the device; that the device will odorize without regard to position and is thus incapable of spilling its contents; that the device is substantially incapable of absorbing the liquid in which it is immersed and will therefore not drip.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In an odorizing device the combination of a perforated hollow container having an opening in the top when in normal use for the reception of Cil an odorizing fluid, a cup attached to the inside of said opening, a felt covering surrounding said cup, a metallic cover surrounding said felt covering, and an orifice in the bottom of said cup communicating with said felt covering.
2. In an odcrizlng device the combination of a perforated hollow spherical container having an opening in the top when in normal use, a cup attached to said opening, a permeable covering surrounding said cup, and a metallic cover surrounding said permeable covering, and an orifice in said cup communicating with said permeable covering.
3. In an odorizing device the combination of a perforated hollow spherical external, metal container having an opening in the top when in normal use, a cup adapted to contain odorizing material attached to said opening, and a felt covering surrounding the outside of said cup and means for slowly conveying the contents of said cup to said felt covering.
4. In an odorizing device the combination of a perforated hollow spherical container having an opening in the top when in normal use, a receptacle attached to said opening inside of said container, a felt covering for said receptacle, and a metallic covering for said felt covering, and an orifice in the bottom of said container communicating with said felt covering.
5. In an odorizing device, a perforated hollow container having an opening in the top when in normal use, a receptacle attached to said opening, an odorizing material contained in said receptacle, a felt covering for said receptacle and com pletely surrounding same, a metallic cover for said felt covering, and an orifice in the bottom of said receptacle by which the odorizing material may be conveyed to the felt covering.
