Abstract:
A nasal clip and/or dilator which is U-shaped having protruding wider spherical/spheroid holders at each end of the U is designed to be placed such that each spherical holder is in a nostril. The U-shaped clip can press against the columella and each holder against the septum. Inside each holder is a scented piece, such as a plastic ball or cylinder with aromatic compounds there-in which exit from the surface of the respective scented piece. To facilitate the scent escaping from the scented piece and into the nose, each holder has portals such as around the circumference thereof and/or on opposite sides thereof, transverse to the “U” of the holder.

Claim (Index 1):
A nasal clip and/or dilator which applies pressure to a columella of a user, comprising:\n a U-shaped base having a pair of free ends disposed to grippingly engage a nasal septum; two spheroid holders, one disposed at each end of said U-shaped base, wherein each of said two spheroid holders comprises a scented piece secured therein with an aromatic substance being inhalable through said user's nasal passages during breathing when said nasal clip is worn; said spherical holders further comprising at least two oppositely disposed portals such that unobstructed passages are created between said scented piece and said nasal passages when said nasal clip is worn; and wherein said base is adapted to press on said columella of said user.
