Abstract: A vertical hollow tube closed at its top end has a first hole in its side wall adjacent its top end and is filled with gaseous deodorizer under pressure. A vertical hollow cylinder closed at its top end and open at its bottom end has a second hole in its side wall. The cylinder is vertically slidable up and down along the tube whereby the holes can be moved into and out of alignment. The deodorizer escapes from the tube to the outside through the holes when aligned and is otherwise confined within the tube. Spring means disposed within the cylinder between the top ends of cylinder and tube normally biases the cylinder in a position relative to the tube at which the second hole is out of alignment with and disposed above the first hole. When a shoe engages cylinder and tube with the cylinder disposed' inside the toe, the weight of the shoe overcomes the normal bias and the cylinder is moved downward until the second hole is out of alignment with and disposed below the first hole.
