Abstract
A coin operated dispenser for spraying desired fragrances interiorly of an automobile or vehicle. Preferably the dispenser includes a generally cubical, rigid, cabinet adapted to be mounted to a rigid support. Containers of fragrances to be dispensed are disposed within the cabinet. A compressor delivers air pressure to a coin operated control system for selectively outputting desired fragrances through a remote manually actuable spray gun. Customers are attracted by a visually pleasing display module associated with the cabinet. The module includes a rigid enclosure having a top, a bottom, and a translucent front permitting the visual inspection of its interior. Preferably a pair of cylindrical containment compartments disposed within the enclosure extend between the top and bottom thereof. Each containment compartment includes a bottom mounted, preferably cylindrical fluid control compartment and a top mounted cylindrical fluid control compartment. Vents are provided to establish fluid flow communication between the fluid control compartments and the interior of the containment compartment. An elongated tubular passageway extends between the first and second fluid control compartments. A viscous display oil disposed within the containment compartment may be pumped from the interior of the first fluid control compartment up through the passageway into the interior of the second fluid control compartment creating a visually appealing bubbling effect. Bubbling fluid reaching the upper fluid control compartment will drop downwardly through the vents provided in same to be subsequently recycled.
