Application fled m 1a, 1931. Serial no. scam.

My invention relatesto disinfectant or deodorizing devices and has for its ob1ectthe provision of a hanger or support whereby a bottle of fluidmay be held in such a way 5 as to allow a gradual seepage of the fluid into the atmosphere for the pn ose desired. Such devices are old and wel known in the art, but those already on the market are unreliable in that they admit flooding at times, the fluid being capable of flowing so freely at times that the suppl becomes exhausted earlier than looked or, requir ng unexpected attention and a further filling of liquid.

In my invention I provlde a. support for holding a bottle in inverted position, provide for a small perforation being made in the stopper, and surround said small hole with absorbent ads in such a we that the and yet enough is permitted to escape at al times to insure fulfilling the object for which it is intended,'either as a deodorant, disinfectant,

or poison for moths or other objectionable insects. a

I will now describe in detail an embodiment of my invention, in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1, is a vertical section through my invention showing a bottle of fluid supported therein.

Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the neck of the bottle with absorbent pads applied thereto. Fig. 3, is an end view of the same. Fig. 4, is'an end view with the absorbent pads removed. p

Fig. is a view of one of the intermediate pads preferably of cork; and

that my invention is not limited to the pre cise arrangement and organization oi the in- Fig. 6, shows another of the pads, as of strumentalities as herein shown and described.

The bottle support comprises a cu a provided with orifices b in its sides to a ow full and free passage of the air therethrou h. 0 Cup a is secured to a hanger a which is 5% tachably secured to a. wall or post as by slot and pin connection d. Hin er a is provided with spring clip arms e or embracing a bottle at.

Cup a contains a conical ring f or wood or similar material, so tapered both inside and out as to provide a circular line seat at its upper end for supporting the inverted bottle. i

The bottle of fluid is sealed by an im erforate cork washer g firmly held inp ace on the mouth of the bottle by an ordinary tin bottle cap it having a hole in its center.. Another cork disc 11 may be placed upon the bottle'cap and a rectangular piece of blotting paper or other absorbent material j placed over the cork and the ends bent down each side against the neck.

Another piece of absorbent material It is laced in ring 7' and pressed down near the ttom of the rin its ends bending u to allow it to" close t e end, and a pin hol e is punched in this material at its center. A pin hole is then punched through the center as of the bottle closure; passing through the outer blotting paper, the cork disc, the hole in the bottle cap, and the cork washer, allowing a vent for the fluid in the bottle.

The bottle is now inverted and placed in the wooden ring in cup a against the absorbent material in the bottom of the ring with the pin holes aligning and the bottle at the same time snapped between clips 0. The device is now ready for use, and while allowing the fluid to seep through the pin holes and saturate the absorbent material absolutely precludes any undue amount of flow, so that a small bottle of fluid may do its duty f and yet last a comparatively long time. I

It will now be apparent that I have de vised a novel anduseful construction which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description and a while I have in the present instance shown and described the preferred embodiments thereof which have been found in practice to give'satisfactory and reliable results, it

is to be understood that the same are susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having now fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and wish to protect by Letters Patent is: p

1. A deodorizing device comprising a support, a truncated cone-shaped porous annulus the walls of which are of inverted, V-shaped cross-section carried by said support, said annulus having inner inclined walls arranged to receive the neck of a bottle, said annulus having an aperture in its bottom, absorbent material in the bottom of said. annulus, an inverted bottle having its neck disposed in said annulus which bottle neck is wedged within said truncated annulus for supporting purposes, and a cap closing the mouth of said neck, said absorbent material and cap having minute apertures therethrough in verticalalignment with the annulus aperture whereby the tapering top of said annulus may quickly absorb material from within said bottle.

2. A deodoriz'ing device comprising a support, a truncated cone-shaped porous annulus the walls of which are of inverted, V- shap'ed cross-section carried by said support, said annulus having inner inclined walls arranged to receive the neck of a bottle, said annulus having an aperture in its bottom, an apertured strip of blotting paper fixed across said annulus bottom, an aperturccl felt member superimposed upon said strip of blotting paper, an inverted bottle having its neck disposed in said annulus which bot tle neck is wedged within said truncated annulus for supporting purposes, and a cap closing the mouth of said neck, said blotting paper, pad, and bottle cap closure having minute apertures therethrough in vertical alignment with the annulus aperture whereby the tapering top of said annulus may quickly absorb material within said bottle.
