Abstract

An apparatus for delivering an odor reducing chemical to a toilet bowl comprising a pressurized source of odor reducing chemical, a valve communicatively connected to the pressurized source of odor reducing chemicals for selectively releasing odor reducing chemical from the pressurized source, a button located at a location remote from said pressurized source of odor reducing chemical for opening said valve when activated by user, wherein said activating means may be selectively activated one or more times by the user either before, after or while the user is seated on the toilet, a bracket for mounting on a toilet bowl, and a spray nozzle.

Claims

1. An apparatus for delivering an odor reducing chemical to toilet having a toilet bowl comprising:

a pressurized source of odor reducing chemical;

a valve communicatively connected to the pressurized source of odor reducing chemical for selectively releasing odor reducing chemical from the pressurized source;

activating means located at a location remote from said pressurized source of odor reducing chemical for opening said valve when activated by a user, wherein said activating means may be selectively activated one or more times by the user either before, after or while the user is seated on the toilet;

a spray nozzle communicatively connected to said valve for transporting odor reducing chemical from said valve to said spray nozzle;

a bracket for mounting on a toilet bowl and for holding said spray nozzle in a position to direct odor reducing chemical into the toilet bowl;

wherein the source of the odor reducing chemical is an aerosol can containing pressurized chemical, the valve is connected to said aerosol can, and wherein the activating means includes a button with the means for communicating with said valve and for remotely activating said valve to allow odor reducing chemical to flow from the can to the spray nozzle; and

wherein the button is connected to the bracket.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bracket comprises two interlocking adjustable tooth arrangements to attach to the toilet bowl.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pressurized source of odor reducing chemical is placed in a holder.
