ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for use in eliminating malodorous smells from a confined area. The device (10) includes a housing (12) defined by a side-wall (14) and walls (18, 22) closing opposite axial ends (16, 24) thereof. A reservoir (20) is defined within the housing (12) within an annular, interior wall (32). An annular space (38) is defined, thereby, between the interior wall (32) and the side-wall (14) of the housing (12). A porous insert (62) formed of fibrous material is received within the annular space (38). An annular ring of wicking material (64) encircles the insert (62), and a plurality of angularly-spaced, radially-extending spoke-like wicks (68) extend from the reservoir (20) to the ring wicking material (64). Liquid neutralizing agent (34) in the reservoir (20) is conducted from the reservoir (20), through the spoke-like wicks (68) to the ring wicking material (64), and, in turn, to the porous insert (62).
