摘要： The present invention is a gel air freshener article of manufacture comprising a gel air freshener composition and a container that provides a method for unsealing and opening without undue exertion by the consumer. The article of manufacture according to the present invention includes the gel air freshener composition and a container comprising a base portion and axially displaceable cover in telescopic registry, wherein the cover is axially displaced away from the base portion by rotation. The unsealing of the container is achieved through the coordination of camming locks, which comprise an upper ramped surface, with spike-shaped locking wedges that comprise a beveled toe portion, elongated shaft portion and camming head portion. Rotation of the cover in a first direction relative to the base portion locks the toe end and shaft portions of the spike-shaped locking wedges beneath the camming locks. Rotation in a second opposite direction relative to the base portion backs the camming head portion of the spike-shaped wedges up the upper ramped surfaces of the camming locks such that the cover is axially distanced from the container, thus unsealing the cover from the base and breaking loose the gel air freshener composition bound inside surface of the cover. An optional pin-hole in the cover allows for pressure equalization of the momentary vacuum created when the cover is first unsealed and displaced.

摘要： The present invention comprises a kit for assembling a passive air freshener comprising fragranced sail crystals. In the preferred form, the kit minimally comprises: 1) a package containing a plurality of fragranced salt crystals; 2) a container with an opening for placing said crystals therein, said container defining an enclosed space having a height/width ratio of from about 0.5 to about 3; and, 3) a carton for containing both the package of crystals and the container, where the carton preferably has a viewing window that displays at least the decorative aspects of the container design to potential purchasers. The kit may also include instructional literature and optional lighting source.
