Disclosed herein is a photocatalytic oxidation device configured for integration within a vehicle ventilation system. The device includes a frame, an ultraviolet lamp, and a cell coated with a photocatalytic material. The lamp, when activated, causes the generation of oxidizers at the cell panel. Air is passable through apertures of the cell panel and thus may be moved through the device. The device is structurally configured and dimensionally optimized to provide effective photocatalytic activity within the vehicle ventilation system without overly restricting airflow.

An air freshener device for an automobile includes a housing, a removable vented cover, and an interior chamber containing a fan and a heater. The housing is structured for removable receipt of a wax melt container within an upper portion of the interior chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the wax melt container is at least partially formed of silicone and includes a removable spill-proof vented top. A button control on the housing is operable to electrically power the fan and heater, causing a fragrant wax material in the wax melt container to melt, thereby releasing a pleasant aroma out from the vented cover and within the surrounding atmosphere. The interior chamber may further include one or more LEDs for directing light upwardly and out through the vented cover.

An antibacterial air freshening product for an interior environment. The product includes a container containing 1 ml to 50 ml of a freshening composition in fluid communication with a membrane. The composition is substantially free of a surfactant and has from 0.5% to 20% of a volatile aldehyde mixture, by weight of the composition. The volatile aldehyde mixture includes a C5 to C8 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal and a C9 to C14 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal. A weight ratio of the C5 to C8 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal to the C9 to C14 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal is from 3:1 to 1:3.

An air freshener holder for use in automobiles having cabins is dimensioned to removably attach to a rear-side of a rear-view mirror of the automobile. The air freshener holder includes an elongated enclosure having a top, bottom, and side walls defining a volume of the enclosure. A wing-shaped pair of flaps extend from the bottom of the enclosure.

A transponder can be attached to the top wall of the enclosure.

A filter element includes: a bellows including a pleated filter medium and edge strips bounding the bellows; and a functional space that adjoins the bellows and is arranged within the edge strips, having an interface between the bellows and functional space. The interface is provided with at least one cutout for receiving sensor elements and/or fragrancing elements.

The present invention is directed to an air freshener holder for use in automobiles having cabins. The air freshener holder disclosed herein is dimensioned to removably attach to a rear-side of a rear-view mirror of the automobile. The air freshener holder includes an elongated enclosure having a top, bottom, and side walls defining a volume of the enclosure. A wing-shaped pair of flaps are configured on the bottom of the enclosure. The flaps are rigid, but flexible enough to conform to the assorted shapes of the housing of the rear-view mirrors. The enclosure further having a plurality of apertures for the airflow.

The invention relates to a multi-purpose container (1) with an air freshening function for receiving cloths (31), in particular for use in a drink holder of a vehicle. The multipurpose container comprises a housing (10) with a lid (20) for forming a receiving space (13) in the housing (10). The lid (20) has an opening (22) for the removal of cloths (31) from the receiving space (13) and a receiving recess (21) for receiving the scented insert (40).

A vehicle mounted scent dispenser for releasing a scent when a driver sits in a driver's seat includes a vehicle that has an interior. A driver's seat is mounted on the interior. A dispensing unit is also mounted in the interior of the vehicle. The dispensing unit dispenses scented air into the interior of the vehicle when the dispensing unit is actuated. A switch is in communication with the dispensing unit and the driver's seat. The switch turns on the dispensing unit when a person sits on the driver's seat.

A vehicle cup air purifying device includes a top housing connected to a base housing, both of which have a plurality of air vents. Disposed within the base housing is a filter. Also disposed within the base housing is an inner housing positioned above the filter and connected to the top housing to form a conduit.
