Claims
- 1. An ozone decomposing apparatus, comprising:
- an external wall enclosing an upper ozone material decomposing portion and a lower ozone decomposing agent holding portion positioned directly below said upper portion, said external wall having open sides to permit ozone bearing air to flow horizontally through the upper portion;
- an activated carbon filter in said upper portion; and
- a volatile ozone decomposing agent in said lower portion, whereby vapors of the ozone decomposing agent rise and are absorbed by the activated carbon filter, and whereby ozone in ozone bearing air is decomposed by the ozone decomposing agent absorbed in the activated carbon filter.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said ozone decomposing agent comprises gelled terpenoid.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1 including a container in said lower portion, the ozone decomposing agent being held in said container.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said activated carbon filter comprises two filter portions separated in a direction of flow of the ozone bearing air through said open sides so as to form a vacant portion therebetween, and wherein said container has an upper opening at a bottom of said vacant portion, whereby the vapors can reach said activated carbon filter via said vacant portion.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 4 including a sealing sheet covering said upper opening, and piercing means in said vacant portion for piercing said sealing sheet.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said piercing means comprise a vertically mounted rod having one end abutting said external wall and another end adjacent said sealing sheet, whereby said rod may be moved to pierce said sealing sheet by pressing said external wall.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said container includes a transparent window having a horizontal line to indicate a level of the ozone decomposing agent in said container.
