Abstract

La présente invention concerne, d'une manière générale, un dispositif qui disperse automatiquement un parfum dans la zone des toilettes, lorsque la chasse d'eau est actionnée. Le produit utilise l'écoulement d'eau dans le réservoir de chasse d'eau après actionnement de la chasse d'eau (4 à 6 gallons en fonction de la taille du réservoir) pour entraîner une turbine qui, à son tour, entraîne une hélice qui diffuse de l'air agréablement parfumé dans les toilettes. Ceci est réalisé en convertissant l'énergie de l'écoulement d'eau pour faire tourner une hélice qui diffuse le parfum. Le parfum provient d'un élément de parfum placé dans le produit. Par conséquent, l'un des avantages de la présente invention est l'utilisation d'une énergie propre pour faire fonctionner l'appareil (pas d'utilisation de piles ou d'électricité). D'autres avantages de la présente invention sont : - la présente invention est sans danger pour la couche d'ozone car elle ne requiert pas l'utilisation d'un agent propulseur pour la diffusion de la vaporisation. - La présente invention est actionnée complètement automatiquement lorsque cela est nécessaire. L'invention profite d'une technologie unique qui utilise l'eau s'écoulant déjà dans les toilettes en exploitant son énergie potentielle pour faire tourner une hélice.
