Abstract
A self-contained air freshening or deodorizing apparatus with a two-part housing including a mounting section for securing the apparatus in an operative position and a closure section for connection thereto for forming an enclosure. A battery-powered air movement generating mechanism includes a fan having a hub with a motor nested at least partially within the hub and connected thereto for rotating the fan hub and five blades mounted thereon to generate a path of air flow through the enclosure. Air freshening or deodorizing mechanism for supplying a source of vaporizable material is positioned in the path of air flow. An antibootleg device is mounted in the enclosure in such a way that removal of the device renders the motor inoperable.
