Claims
- 1. An air freshener apparatus for engagement to a pullchain of a ceiling fan, comprising:
- a first dish having a plate and a skirt extending a predetermined distance laterally from a perimeter edge of the plate, said plate and said skirt defining a recess for receiving a pad having a scented residue deposited therein, said skirt defining a first portion adjacent the plate and a distal portion, the distal portion of said skirt having a thickness thinner than that of the first portion, a rib extending outwardly from the exterior surface of the distal portion intermediate the first portion and a distal edge of the skirt and defining a groove between said rib and an edge of the first portion of said skirt, said skirt further defining a pair of oppositely aligned slots for receiving segments of a pull chain of a ceiling fan for overlying a scented pad received in the dish, a tab extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the first portion of the skirt, the plate defining a plurality of vent openings for communicating air therethrough;
- a second dish having a plate and a skirt extending a predetermined distance laterally from a perimeter edge of the plate, a flange extending outwardly from an interior surface at a distal edge of the skirt for engaging said groove in said first dish, said skirt further defining a pair of oppositely aligned notches for conformingly receiving portions of the pull chain, a second tab extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the skirt and disposed for partial overlapping alignment with said first tab, the plate defining a plurality of vent openings for communicating air therethrough;
- whereby the first dish and the second dish, being engaged together upon aligning the facing skirts together and engaging the flange in the groove with air moved by the ceiling fan past the scent pad exposed in the slotted openings being scented thereby, are separated for replacing the scent pad by moving the first tab and the second tab in opposite directions to disengage the flange from the groove.
