摘要:
Systems for and methods of providing air purification and cleaning in combination with odor elimination in a single unit, such as a tabletop unit for home or office use, are disclosed. The air cleaning device includes a housing, an air intake port, an air movement mechanism, a pre-ionizer, a filter, a post-ionizer, an air exhaust port, and a flow chamber for holding a compound such as an odor elimination supply. An air movement mechanism, ozone removal mechanism, and/or filter/odor elimination assembly may also be present.

The present invention is an air purifier including an ionizing assembly that operates to charge particulate material in an air flow passing through the purifier. The charged particulate material is attracted to and retained by a filter element disposed downstream of the ionization assembly and having an electrical charge opposite to the charged particulate material. The purified air passing through the filter is directed out of the device, optionally in conjunction with a fragrance that is added to the purified air flow. The ionizing assembly is formed with a ground member disposed adjacent the ionizing member to keep the electrons generated by the ionizing assembly within the purifier, and thus prevent static discharges from occurring outside of the purifier. The air flow is directed by a fan through the purifier in an angular and substantially laminar manner, such that the efficiency of the purifier is increased.

The present invention is a system for and method of providing an autonomously mobile air purifier and surface cleaner in combination with a source of air fragrance in a single device for home or office use. The autonomously mobile air and surface cleaner and fragrancing system includes an air purifier, a fragrancer, a floor cleaner, an input means, a power system, operational and auxiliary sensors, robotics that drive and steer the device, and a central controller operatively connected to each of the aforementioned items to control the operation of the device. The present invention also provides a method for the operation of the device using the air purifier, fragrancer, floor cleaner and robotics to clean a room, and for modifying the operation of the device in response to signals sent from the sensors or from the input means.

The present invention is a system or device and method of providing air purification in combination with fragrancing in a single unit, such as a tabletop unit for home or office use in conjunction with a method of optimizing the air delivery rate versus noise specification of an air freshening device. The air freshening unit includes a housing, an air movement mechanism, a pre-ionizer, a filter, a post-ionizer, a diverter for directing airflow to a non-fragranced air exhaust port and to a multiple fragrance delivery system, which supplies a fragranced air exhaust port. Additionally, the multiple fragrance delivery system can be formed of a wick-based delivery system incorporating a capillary member, or a fragrance bead delivery system. The air freshening unit of the present invention can also include a fragrance mechanism integrated directly into the filter mechanism.

摘要:
A device for spraying an inner surface of an enclosure with a cleaning and/or deodorizing chemical is disclosed. The device can include a container for the chemical, a container holder, a sprayer through which the chemical can be sprayed laterally at least halfway around a perimeter of the sprayer, a clip attaching the sprayer near a rim of the toilet bowl, a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the container and the sprayer, and a retention mechanism retaining the container in the container holder. One form of the retention mechanism includes a retainer having a plurality of flexing tabs that engage a flange on the holder. In another form, the retention mechanism can include inwardly directed flanges on an inner wall of the holder, a projection spaced apart from each flange, and a retainer with a plurality of fins. A refill for a dispensing system is also disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed are automated aerosol dispensers for delivering chemicals (e.g. cleaners, fragrances, insect control agents) from the dispenser to selected locations (e.g. the air; a toilet bowl; a shower enclosure). There is an actuator (e.g. a push button or a foot pedal) for initiating dispensing, and a holder for an aerosol container. The aerosol container stores the chemical before use. There is a switch associated with the holder that recognizes when the aerosol container has been mounted to the holder, and when thereafter that aerosol container has been dismounted from the holder. A controller controls dispensing of the chemical from the aerosol container in response to actuation. The controller has a timer that determines the amount of time that chemical is to be delivered from the aerosol container upon the dispenser being actuated by the actuator. A database is provided for assisting the controller in varying the time that the timer permits dispensing in response to activation. The system thus can correct for pressure drop off in the can as the can nears empty.
