International Classification:

A01M 1300

US Classification:

43125, 222188, 22218901

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a container for holding a burnable coil bearing an active ingredient, such as an insecticide, insect repellant, deodorizer, or fragrance. The container includes a base having a raised coil support for mounting the coil and a spiral recess or spirally arrayed support peaks which permit air circulation beneath the coil and inhibit premature snuffing. The coil is enclosed by a cover having a downwardly depending hold-down aligned with the coil support to prevent the coil from moving in the container. The cover also has openings allowing air to pass into the container and vapors to be released. The cover is rotatably mounted to the base so that the cover openings can be selectively opened and closed to allow controlled venting and snuffing of the coil.

Abstract:

A liquid dispenser comprises a housing and a hook for suspending the housing from the rim of a lavatory bowl. A user inserts a sealed inverted reservoir bottle into the housing, which breaks the seal. A plate located in the housing conveys liquid from the bottle to a position within the stream of flushing water. The plate can be adjusted to accommodate different lavatories. To allow venting of the bottle, small vent holes are formed in the plate. The plate may have a number of raised holes or elongate slots. A vent system for the bottle is also provided.
