Abstract:
1. An underarm deodorizer device for controlling body odor arising from the degradation of perspiration by bacterial organisms on the skin surface of the underarm, comprising a structure having a forward end, a rearward end, a first side, a second side, a top surface and a bottom surface, said forward end having a convex curvature in a lateral direction along said structure, said top surface having an upper concave depression between upper forward and rearward convex humps, said bottom surface having a lower concave depression between lower forward and rearward convex humps, said upper and lower humps having a convex curvature in longitudinal and lateral directions along said structure, said first and second sides each having a side concave indentation between a forward side bulge and a rearward side bulge, said top and bottom concave depressions being aligned with said side concave indentations along the length of said structure to form a narrowed region between widened forward and rearward end regions of said structure, said narrowed region and said rearward end region of said structure forming a grasping portion having a configuration to be grasped by a person with the hand, and said forward end region forming a skin contacting portion defined by said forward end and said forward humps, said skin contacting portion having a configuration to fit within the underarm in a complementary manner and conformingly contact the concave curvature of the skin surface of the underarm, said skin contacting portion comprising an external metal oxide surface of said structure, said external metal oxide surface being reactable with water supplied to the skin surface of the underarm at the same time as the skin surface is contacted with said metal oxide surface to render the bacterial organisms on the skin surface ineffectual to degrade perspiration later produced on the skin surface into body odor.
