SCENT DISPENSERS/ABSORBERS AND SCENT CARTRIDGES THEREFOR

A scent dispenser/absorber includes a container, an invertible lid reversibly attached to an open end of the container, a vented cage, and a scent cartridge housed within the cage after being procured from a repository or so-called “scent library.” In an “off” condition or state, the scent cartridge/cage combination is received in an interior chamber of the container, where the scent cartridge is out of communication with the surrounding environment and therefore incapable of performing scent dispensing or absorbing functions. The scent dispenser/absorber can be switched to an “on” condition or state by manually inverting the lid and hence the associated cage/scent cartridge combination such that the scent cartridge can be positioned externally of the container, where it can communicate with the surrounding environment to perform a desired scent dispensing or absorbing function. In an “on” condition, scent molecules originating from an odorant contained in a reticulated, hydrophilic inner core of the scent cartridge pass through a thermoplastic outer skin of the scent cartridge before being diffused into the surrounding environment.
