Fan Mountable Air Freshener

The fan mountable air freshener device includes an air freshener device that can be mounted to a blade of a ceiling fan, the air freshener includes a housing, which includes an upper wall and a lower wall. The lower wall is designed to be removably coupled to the blade of the ceiling fan.

The housing includes a pair of side walls, a first end and second end, wherein the lower wall, the side walls and the upper wall are positioned such that the pair of side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall define a channel through the housing. The first end includes a first aperture for allowing air to travel into the channel. The second end of the housing includes a second aperture for allowing air to travel out of the channel.

The housing is positioned such that the first end faces a leading edge of the blade of the ceiling fan whereby air is urged through the first aperture when the ceiling fan rotates. A scented material is disposed in the channel such that air passing through the channel passes over the scented material for dispersing the scent out of the channel. The use of air freshener devices is known in the prior art.

More specifically, air freshener devices heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

 In these respects, the fan mountable air freshener device according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of freshening the air in the surrounding environment. In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of air freshener devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new fan mountable air freshener device construction wherein the same can be utilized for freshening the air in the surrounding environment.

 The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new fan mountable air freshener device apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the air freshener devices mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new fan mountable air freshener device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art air freshener devices, either alone or in any combination thereof.

 To attain this, the present invention generally comprises an air freshener device that can be mounted to a blade of a ceiling fan; the air freshener includes a housing, which includes an upper wall and a lower wall. The lower wall is designed to be removably coupled to the blade of the ceiling fan.

The housing includes a pair of side walls, a first end and second end, wherein the lower wall, the side walls and the upper wall are positioned such that the pair of side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall define a channel through the housing. The first end includes a first aperture for allowing air to travel into the channel. The second end of the housing includes a second aperture for allowing air to travel out of the channel.

 The housing is positioned such that the first end faces a leading edge of the blade of the ceiling fan whereby air is urged through the first aperture when the ceiling fan rotates. A scented material is disposed in the channel such that air passing through the channel passes over the scented material for dispersing the scent out of the channel.

 There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings.

The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention.

It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new fan mountable air freshener device which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such fan mountable air freshener device economically available to the buying public.

 Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new fan mountable air freshener device which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
