Patent ID: 7641167

Claim:
An item holder mountable by suction on a generally smooth mounting surface comprising: a deformable body including: an outer surface; an inner surface having a concave portion opposite said outer surface; a periphery extending around the body and surrounding the outer surface and the inner surface; a compartment extending through the body between the outer surface and inner surface; and an item including material emitting a desired aroma removably positioned within said compartment; wherein the body is configured to allow emission of the aroma from the holder, including the body having a permeable material allowing emission of the aroma through the body when the item is positioned in said compartment; wherein the compartment has an opening adjacent said periphery for inserting the item into the compartment and removing the item from the compartment; and wherein the body is deformable from an undeformed shape to an actuated shape to mount the holder on the mounting surface by positioning the inner surface of the body adjacent the mounting surface when the body is in its undeformed shape thereby forming a cavity between the body and the mounting surface and deforming the body to its actuated shape thereby sealing the body against the mounting surface and forcing fluid out of the cavity to create a suction between the body and the mounting surface thereby securing the body to the mounting surface.
