Elastic and Dust-Clinging Fan Blade Cover and Scent Pocket

Abstract

Disclosed is an elastic, removable dust cover and air freshener for securement over a ceiling fan blade. The cover is formed of a stretchable, dust-clinging material that is adapted to conform over any sized fan blade and provide secure, snug fitment thereover. The covers comprise an elongated, tubular element having an open end and a closed end, and elastic sidewalls forming an open interior section. The open end of the cover includes an elastic band to secure itself to the cross section of the blade base or along its length. The portion of the cover sidewall includes a vented pocket adapted to secure an air freshener pouch, such that the flow over the blade allows the freshener material to disseminate into the room for improved aroma. Use of the cover prevents dust from accumulating on the blade, while its outer appearance can be tailored to an individual's decor.
