Attachment to air moving device or system for the purpose of scenting spaces

Abstract

An attachment for a fan, blower of other air moving device encompassing, and made of or designed to hold a scented material. The attachment may be constructed from any flexible, rigid or semi rigid material. A scented material base utilizing or made of paper, polymer, plastic, cardboard, ceramic, gel or other fragrance containing substrate that can be contained or placed inside said attachment. When the fan or blower is turned on a scent is emitted throughout the space. The attachment is available in standard or custom sizes, scents, shapes or colors to fit any standard fan or blower. The air movement produced creates a scent dispersion/diffusion effect.

         3 . The attachment of  claim 1  wherein the fragrance formulation includes evaporation modifiers, enhancers or retardants to control the evaporation process. 
     
     
         4 . The attachment of  claim 3  wherein said evaporation enhancers when used, includes denatured alcohol (39 C). 
     
     
         5 . The attachment of  claim 1  wherein the evaporation retardants include one of dipropylene glycol (DPG), diethyl phthalate (DEP) and benzyl benzoate (BB). 
     
     
         6 . The insert of  claim 1  wherein a film, screen or other porous material is applied over the insert after the fragrance has been applied to the insert, said film being made from a material through which the fragrance can evaporate, and said film retarding, or otherwise modifying, the evaporation process of the fragrance from the attachment. 
     
     
         7 . The insert of  claim 6  wherein the film comprising plasticizing agents. 
     
     
         8 . The attachment of  claim 1  wherein the fragrance coating includes microencapsulated fragrance oil. 
     
     
         9 . . The insert of  claim 1  wherein the insert material is a paper, gel, liquid, ceramic, porcelain, wooden, non-woven, porous, natural or other synthetic material that holds and allows evaporative remittance of fragrance. 
     
     
         10 . The insert of  claim 1  wherein the insert material is constructed of extruded polyethylene or molded polystyrene or polymer based fragrance materials. 
     
     
         11 . The insert of  claim 1  wherein the insert material is constructed from a ceramic, clay, gel or similar based material that holds and allows evaporative emittance of the fragrance. 
     
     
         12 . The fragrant emitting attachment of  claim 1  wherein the fragrant material includes scented beads that have been coated or absorbed with a fragrance. 
     
     
         13 . The fragrant attachment of  claim 1  wherein the fragrant material includes pellets that have been coated or absorbed the fragrant material for application. 
     
     
         14 . The fragrant attachment of  claim 1  wherein the attachment includes a perimeter framework, the framework having front and back foraminous material surfaces, and the fragrant material formed of a series of pellets or beads coated or absorbent of a fragrance applied intermediate the front and back foraminous surfaces to hold the fragrant material in place during usage and application. 
     
     
         15 . The fragrant attachment of  claim 1  wherein the attachment is fabricated in strip form, the strip including a front and back surface of foraminous material, the fragrance material comprising a series of beads or pellets that are coated or absorbent of a fragrance, and which are embodied within the front and back surfaces of foraminous material during assembly. 
     
     
         16 . The fragrant attachment of  claim 15  wherein the outer perimeter edges of the foraminous material forming the front and back surfaces of the strip are sealed to contain the fragrant material therein.
