Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for an air freshener holder. An apparatus includes a body that includes a slot configured to receive an air freshener, a front side that includes at least one opening, and a back side that includes attachment means for coupling the body to a surface.

Claims (33)

1 . An apparatus, comprising:

a body comprising:

a slot configured to receive an air freshener;

a front side comprising at least one opening;

a back side comprising attachment means for coupling the body to a surface; and

an external holder on the front side for attaching a different air freshener to the apparatus, wherein the external holder is coupled to the body using a hinge such that the external holder can be folded into a recess of the body.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the body has a substantially cylindrical shape.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot has a round shape for receiving the air freshener with a corresponding round shape.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the external holder includes a groove for receiving an attachment member of the different air freshener.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the groove is located between a lever mechanism that is opened to allow insertion of the attachment member of the different air freshener and closed to secure the attachment member to the body.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the lever mechanism is locked in a closed position using securing means.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising securing means for securing the external holder within the recess of the body.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the securing means comprises a push lock mechanism.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the back side is flexible to conform to surfaces of various contours, shapes, textures, or a combination thereof.

10 . A system, comprising:

an air freshener; and

a body comprising:

a slot configured to receive the air freshener;

a front side comprising at least one opening;

a back side comprising attachment means for coupling the body to a surface; and

an external holder on the front side for attaching a different air freshener to the body, wherein the external holder is coupled to the body using a hinge such that the external holder can be folded into a recess of the body.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the air freshener has a round shape that corresponds to a shape of the slot.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the external holder includes a groove for receiving an attachment member of the different air freshener.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the groove is located between a lever mechanism that is opened to allow insertion of the attachment member of the different air freshener and closed to secure the attachment member to the body.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the lever mechanism is locked in a closed position using securing means.

15 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising securing means for securing the external holder within the recess of the body, the securing means comprises a push lock mechanism.

16 . A method, comprising:

providing an air freshener; and

providing a body comprising:

a slot configured to receive the air freshener;

a front side comprising at least one opening;

a back side comprising attachment means for coupling the body to a surface; and

an external holder on the front side for attaching a different air freshener to the body, wherein the external holder is coupled to the body using a hinge such that the external holder can be folded into a recess of the body.
