Known air freshener according to the patent of the Russian Federation for utility model N268311, containing an elongated flat base impregnated with an aromatic substance, a removable bag for preserving the fragrance and a hole for hanging. On the longitudinal sides of the elongated flat base, symmetrical shaped projections and shaped depressions with arcuate convex and / or concave walls are made. The base is made of cardboard with a thickness of 1-2.5 mm, has a length of 100-135 mm, a maximum width of 60-80 mm and the outline of a flower or tree, for example, a Christmas tree, and a removable bag is made of polypropylene. The hanging hole contains a thread made, for example, of latex and shaped like a loop.

The disadvantage of such a freshener is the uneven release (return) of the aroma: too intense at the beginning of use and weak after a short period of time (2-3 weeks); fragility.

Known air fragrance according to the RF patent for utility model -N "181524, containing a housing with an absorbent element placed in it, impregnated with an aromatic composition. Self-adhesive stickers (front and back) are placed on the body. In this case, the body is made of plastic and is composed of front and rear parts, equipped with ventilation slots, and the absorbent element is made in the form of front and rear absorbent inserts separated by a separator. The divider is cross-shaped, and the absorbent liners are equipped with ventilation holes evenly distributed over their surface, while the self-adhesive stickers are equipped with perforations in the places corresponding to the location of the ventilation slots. The absorbent liners and separator are made of high-capillary or beer cardboard.

Known automobile air freshener according to the patent of the Russian Federation for utility model N2170848, containing a container with side walls and a bottom with the formation of an internal cavity of the fragrance, which is divided by a sealed partition into two compartments, each of which contains a foam carrier impregnated with an active substance, and each foam carrier is made in width and length it is less than the compartment in which it is located, and the inner part of the bottom of each compartment has a relief surface. Each compartment is closed on the upper side with a removable sealing membrane that presses the foam carrier against the bottom of the compartment. The membrane is made of polymeric gas and water impermeable film. The relief surface is longitudinal and transverse, or hemispherical, or pyramidoidal, or diagonal protrusions. The container is made of a material that is impermeable to gaseous and liquid substances.

The disadvantages of the known designs of fragrances are the complexity and inconvenience in use, effective only on horizontal surfaces, a relatively small range of regulation of the rate of evaporation of the aromatic substance and the intensity of aromatization of the room.

The claimed utility model, as well as known ones, includes a housing with internal cavities separated by sealed partitions, carriers impregnated with an aromatic (active) substance, removable sealing membranes.

The technical task of the proposed utility model is to expand the arsenal of devices for air aromatization, providing regulation of the intensity of aroma evaporation.

The technical result is the ability to use both horizontal and vertical position while maintaining the possibility of adjusting the intensity of evaporation of the aromatic substance.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the body of the fragrance is a solid base, the carriers are fixed in each of the inner cavities of the body of the fragrance equipped with a hole for hanging.

The technical result is also achieved by the fact that the body of the flavoring agent can be made in the form of a flower, tree, ball, cube. The number of internal cavities can be from 2 to 100. Internal cavities can be located on one, two or more sides of the body. The absorbent liners of each inner cavity can be impregnated with different aromatic (active) substances. The fragrance can be provided with a means for hanging (thread) and a removable packaging (bag). Membranes can be made of polymeric gas- and water-impermeable film, equipped with a protrusion. The body can be made of a material that is impermeable to gaseous and liquid substances. Carriers (absorbent liners) can be made of a material capable of absorbing gases and / or liquids (with absorbing properties), spreading aroma.

The design of the body of the flavoring agent in the form of a single base with independent internal cavities makes it possible to simplify the design of the device and its use, ensuring efficient distribution of flavoring substances in any position (horizontal, vertical, inclined) of the flavoring agent.

Thanks to the fastening of the fragrance-impregnated carrier and the presence of a hanging hole, it is convenient to hang the device, for example, in front of the windshield of a car or on a clothes rail in a closet, or to attach it to inclined surfaces of the interior.

When using the fragrance, it is convenient to remove the removable sealing membranes one by one by pulling on the special ledge, adjusting thereby the intensity of aromatization. The design of the membranes and the body of a material that is impermeable to gaseous and liquid substances also provides reliable protection against unwanted (premature) release of aromas.

The body of the fragrance can be made in the form of a flower, tree, ball or any other flat or three-dimensional shape, of any size and color, thus the device can serve as an original interior decoration.

The number of internal cavities located on one, two or more sides of the body can be from 2 to 100, due to considerations of ergonomics. The larger number of cavities increases the effective life of the device and provides a wide control range for the rate of evaporation of the fragrance.

The absorbent liners of the internal cavities can be impregnated with the same or different aroma substances, which increases the convenience of using the fragrance, allowing each time to change the aroma in the room (car) without changing the device itself.

Also, for ease of use, the fragrance is equipped with means for hanging and a removable packaging (bag).

To ensure uniformity and duration of aroma release, the carrier (absorbent liners) must be made of a material capable of absorbing gases and / or liquids (with absorbing properties), spreading the aroma.

The claimed utility model is illustrated with the help of the drawing, which shows a general view of a fragrance made in the shape of a flower (for example).

The air freshener contains a housing 1 (Fig.) With internal cavities 2 separated by sealed partitions 3, carriers 4 impregnated with an aromatic substance, removable sealing membranes 5. The housing 1 is a single base with a height of 2 mm with a hole for hanging 6 and a means for hanging, for example a thread (not shown in the drawing). The number of internal cavities 2 can be from 2 to 100, and they can be located on one, two or more sides of the body 1.

In each internal cavity 2, a carrier 4 impregnated with an aromatic substance is fixed. In this case, all carriers 4 can be impregnated with the same aroma or each carrier 4 can be impregnated with different aromatic substances.

Removable sealing membranes 5 are made of a polymer gas and water impermeable film, equipped with a projection 7. One membrane 5 can be made into several cavities 2 of the base 1 with perforation 8 along the contour of each cavity 2 or a separate membrane 5 is attached to each cavity 2. In any embodiment, along the perimeter of each cavity 2 of the base 1 of the membrane 5 are provided with adhesive edges that provide reliable protection of the carrier 4, or are soldered or fixed in another way.

The carriers (absorbent liners) 4 can be tightly pressed into commensurate internal cavities 2 of the body 1. Also, in addition, point press fixing of each carrier 4 in the body 1 can be applied, by several point indentations into the material of the body 1 near the edges of the carrier 4, in three , four or more locations. Thus, the material of the body 1, which has expanded at the points of point indentations, at the edges of the commensurate internal cavities 2 with the pressed-in carriers 4, will contribute to their fixation.

In the second example of fastening the carriers 4, after they are tightly pressed into the commensurate internal cavities 2 of the body 1, a single film is glued onto the body 1 with holes slightly smaller in size than the carriers 4 themselves. Thus, the carriers 4 are fixed at the edges. Then, carriers 4 on the body 1 are equipped with separate membranes 5 with convenient protrusions - "tails" 7 for easy separate removal using fingers of each membrane 5 from the body 1. Also, the carriers 4 can be fixed in the cavities 2 of the body 1 in another way.

The device works as follows. After removing from the package, one of the membranes 5 is removed (or several at the request of the user), the device is suspended, for example, on a rear-view mirror of a car, or attached to any horizontal (vertical or inclined) surface of the interior, for example, using double-sided tape, glue, brackets ... Then, after the lapse of time, the remaining cavities 2 are alternately torn off, adjusting the intensity of the aromatization of the room.

Thus, the presented technical solution ensures the achievement of the claimed technical result, namely, an increase in operational efficiency due to the possibility of using both in horizontal and vertical positions while maintaining the possibility of adjusting the intensity of evaporation of the aromatic substance.
