Abstract
Abstract A block of deodorizing material for use in a room or similar confined space including an adhesive layer for conveniently affixing the block beneath a table, chair or other structure surface so that the block is aesthetically hidden from view. A removable protective film covers the adhesive layer and is peeled off when the block is to be used. A barrier layer which can serve as a support plate may be interposed between the block and adhesive to facilitate handling of the block. Similarly, a removable protective film may surround the block. The support plate may further include a depending support cage for carrying the deodorant block.
