Odor control product dispenser cabinet

Odor control product dispenser includes a cabinet having a removable front cover for directly accessing both an upper fan compartment and a lower product compartment from the front. A fan in the fan compartment draws air in through a fan shroud surrounding the fan and directs the air downwardly into the product compartment for flow across an exposed surface of the odor control product in the second compartment and subsequent discharge through air vents in the front and sides of the cabinet. The odor control product is contained in a well in one end of a disposable container. Within the well are a plurality of circumferentially spaced pinwheel type baffles that increase the turbulence of the air flowing across the product as the product evaporates to accelerate the rate of evaporation as the product loses its potency (effectiveness) with age. Also, the product shrinks away from the baffles to increase the surface area of the product exposed to the air and thus the rate of evaporation of the product as the effectiveness of the product diminishes. In the end of the container opposite the well is a battery compartment containing a battery which provides the power source for driving the fan motor. Cooperating surfaces on the container and dispenser cabinet properly orient the battery within the product compartment and maintain the battery terminals in contact with motor contact strips in the second compartment.

Dust mop frame

Dust mop frame includes a plastic molded base member having a substantially flat bottom surface for applying uniform pressure over substantially the entire surface of the dust mop and a rigid hinge member securely molded in place in spaced relation to the back side of the base member to facilitate attachment of a handle to the dust mop frame. The hinge member is supported adjacent its ends by a pair of laterally spaced, transversely extending ribs integrally molded to the back side of the base member. The ends of the hinge member extend completely through the transverse ribs into a pair of longitudinally extending ribs integral with the axial outer sides of the transverse ribs intermediate the ends thereof and also integral with a peripheral rib around the outer edge of the base member. The ends of the hinge member then extend downwardly and inwardly back on themselves at an angle, and are of a length such that they extend vertically within the longitudinal ribs for a substantial portion of the height thereof and back into the transverse ribs adjacent the base member.
