| 1. A scent dispenser, comprising:
a horizontal hollow central body with a first opening on a first end of the body and a second opening on the top of the body
where the second opening is formed by upwardly extended wails from the horizontal hollow central body to form a neck opening,
where the first opening and second opening are sealed to form a reservoir for holding a liquid scented material without spillage;
a hanger cap with a transverse slot that extends laterally across the hanger cap, where the hanger cap seals the neck opening
on top of the horizontal hollow central body;
a rotatable shaft located within the horizontal hollow central body, where the rotatable shaft has a longitudinal slot running
along the length of the rotatable shaft and retaining nibs located on the distal end of the rotatable shaft;
a shaft retaining ring located in the interior of the horizontal hollow central body and having a circular opening in the
center of the shaft retaining ring, where the nibs are inserted through the circular opening in and lock the rotatable shaft
into place within the horizontal hollow central body while still allowing the shaft to rotate;
a rectangular wick with an attachment loop located on the upper and lower ends of the wick, where the attachment loop for
the lower end of the wick is looped into the longitudinal slot of the rotatable shaft so that the wick is held on the rotatable
shaft as the wick is wound and unwound around the rotatable shaft, and where the upper end of the wick extends out of the
horizontal hollow central body through the neck opening on top of the central body and the attachment loop located on the
upper end of the wick is inserted into the transverse slot in the hanger cap and held in place by a retainer pin that is inserted
into the attachment loop on the upper end of the wick;
a filler cap that provides access the interior of the horizontal hollow central body through the first opening on the first
end of the body so that any liquid scented material in the horizontal hollow central body is absorbed by the wick; and
a suspension mechanism located on the hanger cap, where the suspension mechanism suspends the scent dispenser from a separate
structure.
