Abstract
Abstract A perfume dispenser particularly suitable for cars, is insertable in a housing provided in the front panel or dashboard of a car. It comprises a structure formed by a plate or front panel, with its perimetric border rounded. On the surface of the plate have been cut on one side orifices in which are housed respectively a switch and a pulsator, and on the opposite side, an orifice of greater diameter. From the edge of the orifice an extension forms a cylindrical housing provided with an internal wall; divided into two zones by an intermediate transversal wall provided with a broad central orifice. In the zone of the internal wall in the rear of the transversal wall have been cut two broad rectangular notches in diametrically opposite positions, so that the zone of the internal wall in front of the transversal wall has two broad rectangular notches in diametrically opposite positions. The cylindrical space defined by the transversal wall and the zone in front of the internal wall contains the perfuming product.
