     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0012]    With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new deodorant device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
         [0013]    As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the tablet deodorant device  10  generally comprises a plurality of tablets  12 . Each tablet  12  is constructed of a deodorant material  16  of a type conventionally known. The deodorant material  16  may be a gel  14 . Each tablet  12  may further comprise an anti-perspirant material  18  combined with the deodorant material  16  in a conventional manner used in currently available deodorant products. A respective coating  20  encases each tablet  12  preserving the tablet  12  and preventing premature dispensing of the deodorant material  16 . The coating  20  is of a conventional type having a melting point such that the coating  20  is configured for melting upon being positioned in an armpit  22  wherein the deodorant material  16  is dispersed into the armpit  22 . The coating  20  is further constructed of a conventional material known to dissipate and evaporate subsequent to melting such that the coating  20  leaves no substantial residual in the armpit  22 . 
         [0014]    A container  24  is provided having a back face  26  and a plurality of compartments  28 . The container  24  is transparent and may be formed of a molded plastic or the like. Each of the tablets  12  is positioned in an associated one of the compartments  28  protecting the integrity of the coating  20  and the tablet  12  until ready for use. The back face  26  is planar and a backing  30  is coupled to the back face  26  of the container  24 . The backing  30  covers the compartments  28 . The backing  30  is constructed of a conventional plastic, foil, combination of plastic and foil, or the like to be frangible wherein the backing  30  is configured for providing access to a selectable compartment  28  through the backing  30 . A cover  32  has a front face  34 , a back face  36 , a pair of longitudinal side faces  38 , and an open end  40  wherein the container  24  is insertable into the cover  32 . A second end  42  of the cover  32  may also be open or may be closed. The cover  32  is opaque wherein the cover  32  is configured for preventing the container  24  from being exposed to light while the container  24  is positioned in the cover  32 . Thus, the cover inhibits heating of the coating  20  and tablet  12  in each compartment  28  prior to the intended use. 
         [0015]    In use, each tablet  12  provides an effective amount of the deodorant material  16  for a single application. As needed, a single tablet  12  is positioned in the armpit  22  allowing the coating  20  to dissipate and dispensing the deodorant material  16  into the armpit  22 . A second tablet  12  may then be applied to a second armpit  22 . The container  24  may be easily transported and stored for use while traveling or otherwise being away from home, such as at a gym or the like. 
         [0016]    With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         [0017]    Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
