MODULATED SCENT RELEASE DEVICE

1 . A scent producing assembly comprising:

a self-contained module comprising an absorptive matrix infused with a volatile composition;

a housing comprising a receptacle shaped to receive self-contained the module; wherein the receptacle has a stowed position such that the receptacle is contained within an interior of the housing;

wherein the receptacle has a deployed position such that the receptacle is displaced outside of the housing; and

wherein, when the receptacle is moved between the stowed and deployed positions, the receptacle moves along an arcuate path.

2 . The scent producing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises an opening along an edge; and

wherein during movement of the receptacle between the stowed deployed positions, the receptacle moves through the opening.

3 . The scent producing assembly of claim 2 , wherein, in the stowed position, an exterior surface of the receptacle forms an exterior edge of the housing at the opening.

4 . The scent producing assembly claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is attached to the housing via a single pivot point; and

wherein, during movement between the stowed and deployed positions, the receptacle rotates about the pivot point.

5 . The scent producing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle further comprises a locking mechanism such that the receptacle is lockable in the stowed position.

6 . The scent producing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the self-contained module is formed of at least one of recyclable materials or biodegradable materials.

7 . A scent producing assembly comprising:

a self-contained module comprising an absorptive matrix infused with a volatile composition;

a housing comprising:

a housing interior;

a housing exterior;

an opening formed along a side of the housing exterior;

a receptacle shaped to receive self-contained module and having a stowed position and a deployed position;

wherein, in the stowed position, the receptacle is disposed within the housing interior; wherein, in the deployed position, the receptacle is disposed outside of the housing interior; and

wherein, when the receptacle is moved between the stowed position and the deployed position, the receptacle moves through the opening along an arcuate path.

8 . The scent producing assembly of claim 7 , wherein the receptacle comprises a first end and a second end; and

wherein the first end is attached to the housing at a pivot point and the second end comprises an extension for locking the receptacle in the stowed position; and

wherein, during movement between the stowed and deployed positions, the receptacle pivots about the pivot point and the second end travels along the arcuate path.

9 . The scent producing assembly of claim 8 , wherein the self-contained module is formed of at least one of recyclable materials or biodegradable materials.

10 . The scent producing assembly of claim 7 , further comprising an attachment mechanism disposed on the housing exterior.

11 . The scent producing assembly of claim 7 , wherein the housing exterior comprises openings on a first side and a second side such that air can freely pass through the housing.

12 . The scent producing assembly of claim 7 , wherein the self-contained module is contained within the receptacle during movement between the stowed and deployed positions.

13 . The scent producing assembly of claim 7 , wherein, when the receptacle is in the stowed position, an exterior surface of the receptacle forms an edge of the housing exterior.

14 . A scent producing assembly comprising:

a self-contained module comprising an absorptive matrix infused with a volatile composition;

a housing comprising:

an interior wherein the interior is hollow;

a receptacle shaped to receive the self-contained module;

wherein the receptacle is connected to an edge of the housing at a pivot point; wherein the self-contained module is moved between the interior of the housing and an exterior of the housing via the receptacle; and

wherein, during movement of the self-contained module between the interior of the housing and the exterior of the housing, the receptacle pivots about the pivot point and moves along an arcuate path.

15 . The scent producing assembly of claim 14 , wherein the housing further comprises a first side and a second side; and

wherein each of the first side and the second side comprises at least one opening such that air freely passes through the housing.

16 . The scent producing assembly of claim 15 , wherein the housing further comprises an opening along an edge between the first side and the second side; and

wherein the opening provides access to the interior of the housing.

17 . The scent producing assembly of claim 16 , wherein, when the receptacle is disposed within the interior of the housing, an outer edge of the receptacle forms an exterior edge of the housing.

18 . The scent producing assembly of claim 16 , wherein, during movement of the self-contained module between the interior and exterior of the housing, the receptacle moves through opening.

19 . The scent producing assembly of claim 14 , wherein the receptacle further comprises a locking mechanism at one end opposite the pivot point such that the receptacle is lockable when the self-contained module is disposed within the interior of the housing.

20 . The scent producing assembly of claim 14 , further comprising an attachment means disposed on an exterior of the housing.
