As shown in Figure 4, each bar or rod---and each steeps accordingly, all has the flat basal wall 18 in abutting connection with backing sheet 14.Every bar or rod, and each bubble from basal wall 18 to narrower end wall 20 convergent roughly.Sidewall initial as at 22,24 places convergent gradually, then through precipitous a little inside dislocation 26, sentence medium ratio convergent (ratio between sidewall sections 22 and 26 the convergent ratio of misplacing) 27 then, up to arriving end wall 20.
Can think that bar or rod have the shape (being that section is triangular in shape) of triangular prism substantially.More properly, as mentioned above sidewall with discrete mode convergent.
Should be noted in the discussion above that bar or rod are positioned on the backing sheet at its basal wall 18 places, and have interval 28 between them.
Should be noted in the discussion above that when being in its nested form to have at interval 30 between bar or the rod at their stub area place further.
As the result of hot forming during manufacture to mould, the backing sheet has preferred broken line 32.Broken line 32 is aimed at the interval 28 between bar or the rod.
The final result of these features is following and can clearly see in Fig. 1: when product forms its nested shape, the backing sheet in hinged mode around its broken line 22 displacements.By 28 and 30 having allowed this nested or folding at interval; If bar or rod be simply mutually near because this operation of obstacle of physics will can not be allowed to.As seen from Figure 1, Qu Yu interval 30 even can under nested form, keep (but having narrowed down significantly) endways.
In use, product of the present invention is the refill device that provides with its nested form shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 A.This refill device is with in the retainer of its nested form insertion shown in Fig. 5 B.Retainer is columniform bucket, and this barrel has and extend upward the axial protuberance 40 of hub shape of whole axial lengths of bucket basically from its bottom.From the protuberance 40 outwardly directed blades 42 that are four with 90 ° of interval settings.These blades approximately extend 4/10 of retainer radial distance.
Retainer has the handle 44 that suspends.
The diapire of retainer is big opening (not shown).
Retainer has the lid shown in Fig. 5 C.This lid has center transposition (indexing) equipment 46 that is centered on by filter screen 48, enters retainer to allow agranular water.The dial 54 that this center transposition equipment has button 50 and centers on this button, this dial have bar or the excellent suitable numeral of number with cleansing composition.In the time of will using dish-washing machine, the user presses the button the numeral so that dial advances, to use next channel washer or rod at every turn.This will so finish: rotate a position by making the dish with holes in the lid, make the water that enters retainer must pass the hole of aiming at next bar or rod this moment.Water enters suitable bubble by the opening of aiming at the opening in the lid 12.But the interval 10 of water filled pole or rod top.Bar or rod are immersed in water and dissolve and/or cracked, leave bubble by bottom opening.
A bit surprisingly, we find to have realized well by this method the dissolving of bar or rod.May think in the past always, by with water vertically or length direction be directed to cleansing composition dosage element one bring in the dissolving they may be inefficent method.In fact, dissolving or disperse be well and this be provided with and have very much space efficiency, do not take available too many " bottom area " (footprint area) in the dish-washing machine.
As seeing among Fig. 6, when product orientation was in the bucket of retainer, blade 42 was positioned within the interval 30 of nested product.The nargin of blade in interval 30 is little, and can guarantee that by this way bar or rod and upper shed 12 are in the correct orientation of aiming at the opening of lid.
