An air freshener for dispensing a spray of deodorant, includes a housing in which a holder can be received for containing deodorant. A sliding bar has an end in contact with a door or doorway, so that a door movement results in a movement of the sliding bar. A wedge-shaped press member is coupled with the sliding bar, which during a movement of the sliding bar causes the dispensing member to move in a direction transverse to the movement of the sliding bar. The sliding bar includes a guide along...

A fluid-storing portion 4 includes an external container (110), an internal container (120), and a coupling material (140) which forms an internal space (130) shielded from the outside between the internal container (120) and the external container (110). When the volume of the internal container (120) is decreased, the internal space (130) is depressurized and receives force in a direction toward the internal space (130) from outside. Consequently, air flows into the internal space (130) from t...
