FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to personal care products and their containers and air fragrances.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] U.S. Pat. No. 5,799,826 to Brown teaches and claims an assembly having a first chamber containing soap and a second chamber containing air fragrance. There are at least two openings in the second chamber to allow the air fragrance to dispense through evaporation. The assembly is for mounting on a wall. Many patents, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,065,875, 5,316,398, 5,135,116, 3,225,951, 4,235,343, 251,566, and 4,805,798 teach containers having an insert area for nesting a second container. However none of these patents teach or suggest inserting an air freshener into the insert area.

[0003] U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,204,784, and 544,219 teach containers having two separate chambers. However none of these patents teach or suggest inserting an air fragrance into one of the chambers.

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 5,350,058 teaches a container having two chambers. The bottom chamber has openings therein. However, there is no teaching or suggestion of using the container to hold either body care products or air fragrance.

[0005] UK patent application no. 2,230,957 teaches a combination air fragrance and decorative figure.

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,853,672 teaches a combination air fragrance and fan with an ornament and lights.

[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,351,851 to Powell teaches a container having an insert area to receive an article therein, and a film covering the insert area and inserted article for retaining the article in the indentation. Powell specifically claims that the film is clear over the indentation.

[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 5,165,603 to Hahn teaches a fragrance-emitting skin-care product container that features a reservoir well arranged around the threads on a container mouth. The reservoir well contains a fragrance reservoir. A seal upon the lid of the container seals the reservoir well when the container is closed, thereby preventing contamination of the container contents by the fragrance and allowing for the release of fragrance when the container is opened.

[0009] PCT patent application publication no. WO02/20172 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,595,324 and 5,799,826 to Brown et al. describe a combination air freshener and hand lotion dispenser. The air freshener consists of a fragrance impregnated substance disposed within the dispenser mechanism. The dispenser mechanism includes a manual pump.

[0012] The air fragrance may be contained in a container having at least one opening and the first wall is configured to receive the container. The first wall and the container may be configured to form an interference fit between the first chamber and the container or air fragrance. The first wall and the container or air fragrance may be configured to form a releasable interference fit between the container of air fragrance.

[0013] The first wall may be configured to form an indentation for receiving the container or air fragrance. The first wall may be configured to form a releasable interference fit between a bottom of the first wall and a top of the container. The container bottom may be configured to maintain the combination upright on a flat surface.

[0014] In an embodiment, the container has a plurality of openings. In another embodiment, the first chamber has a removable lid.

[0015] In a further aspect, the invention further teaches a bottle comprising: a) a bottom and at least one upstanding side wall to receive a body care product therein; b) the side wall converging to provide a closeable top; and c) an indentation formed in the side wall and directed inwardly of the bottle and configured to receive an air fragrance or air fragrance container therein. The indentation and the air fragrance or air fragrance container may be configured to have an interference fit between the indentation and the air fragrance container. The indentation and the air fragrance or air fragrance container may be configured to have a releasable interference fit between the indentation and the air fragrance container.

[0016] The invention further teaches a bottle comprising: a) a bottom and at least one upstanding side wall to receive a body care product therein; b) the side wall converging to provide a closeable top; c) an air fragrance container having a top and a second bottom; and d) the air fragrance container is attached to the bottom. The air fragrance container and bottle may be configured to have an interference fit between the bottom and the air fragrance container.

[0017] The bottom and the air fragrance container may be configured to have a releasable interference fit between the bottom and the air fragrance container. The second bottom may be configured to maintain the combination upright on a flat surface. The air fragrance container may have a plurality of openings. The bottle may have a hand pump dispenser mechanism.

[0018] In one aspect, the present invention provides, in combination, a baby wipe container and an air fragrance, comprising a portable container having a first wall forming a first chamber for baby wipes, and a second chamber for air fragrance, the second chamber having at least one opening for release of the air fragrance.

[0019] In another aspect, the present invention provides, in combination, a deodorant container and an air fragrance, comprising a portable container having a first wall forming a first chamber for receiving a deodorant stick, and a second chamber for air fragrance, the second chamber having at least one opening for release of the air fragrance.

[0020] In yet another aspect, the present invention provides, in combination, a tissue box holder and an air fragrance, comprising a portable container having a first wall forming a first chamber for a tissue box, and a second chamber for air fragrance, the second chamber having at least one opening for release of the air fragrance.
