  • the use of air fresheners combined with particular personal care products selected herein provides a synergy and benefits not taught, suggested, or realized by the prior art.
  • the invention concerns combining a body deodorant or anti-perspirant with an air freshener, so that the air freshener can mask or neutralize odors in the area surrounding where body deodorants are used and stored, for example, hockey equipment bags, sports bags, gym lockers, suit cases, medicine cabinets and the like.

  • This indented or depressed area may take a multitude of forms. In one embodiment, this area would not extend entirely across the container.
  • the present invention is applicable to any type of container suitable for the particular personal care products discussed herein and for the purposes and ease of illustration it has been illustrated on containers of various configurations.
  • the concept could be applied to other articles such as the wide rim capped bowls, tubs, tubes, boxes, sticks, or other containers which are manufactured for various usages but which also are utilized for the initial sales of various personal care products. Therefore, the term container may appear within this application and is used as a generic definition rather than a limiting definition.

  • the combination deodorant stick 210 and air freshener 220 provides for both an active dispensing of air fragrance when the deodorant stick 210 is jostled while in use and for a passive dispensing of air fragrance, since the apertures are typically not sealed while the deodorant stick 210 is not in use.
  • This passive dispensing aspect provides particular advantages to the deodorant stick 210 when used by amateur or professional athletes or in connection with any exercise activities.
  • the deodorant stick 210 may be placed within a gym bag, hockey bag, or other sports equipment bag or a locker in which a user may store a deodorant stick 210 and the air freshener will assist in disguising the odor associated with work-out or sports apparel.

  • the tissue box holder 310 typically includes aesthetic design elements and is used to improve the appearance of conventional cardboard tissue boxes.
  • the air freshener 320 is incorporated into the tissue box holder 310.
  • the side wall 312 includes a plurality of apertures 324 providing communication with the air freshener 320 contained within the tissue box holder 310.

  • An aspect of the invention is the coordination of the volume of the supply of personal care product and the supply of air fragrance to ensure that the supply of air fragrance is sufficient to continue freshening the air the entire period the body care product is available in the container.
  • Another beneficial aspect of the present invention is that the fragrance is dispensed in greater amounts upon use of the container, rather than continuously or at regular intervals. This also increases the efficiency of the system by minimizing the quantity of fragrance needed.
  • Another benefit associated with the dual personal care product and air fragrance dispenser described herein is the complete elimination of a separate fragrance dispenser.
  • the personal body care product and air fragrance dispenser costs somewhere between the cost of a typical dispenser alone and the cost of a dispenser and a fragrance dispenser combined. In conjunction with the automatic fragrance replacement feature of the present dispenser, this cost savings is highly attractive.
  • the air fragrance may be in the form of a solid stick.
  • the air fragrance in the container is generally described as an odorless carrier with a particular concentration of fragrance therein.

  • the air fragrance may be an aerosol or pump spray.
  • the air fragrance may be a combination aerosol or pump spray with a static air fragrance, for example a stick or liquid form.
