Abstract

The invention relates to a device including a container charged with a water treatment material and a perfume material, intended to be partially immersed in the water in a flushing tank of a toilet fitting whereupon to deliver water treatment material in solution to the water in the tank and perfume to the surrounding atmosphere. The device is essentially different from prior art devices in that water flows into and from the container via a duct arranged to retain a reservoir of treated water when the tank flushes and to deliver treated water to the tank only after the tank has started to flush, and the atmosphere in the container communicates with the surrounding atmosphere to release perfume via a vent duct which is closed by water in the container when the water level in the tank is above a predetermined level.

Opfindelsen angår en dispenser indrettet til anbringelse i skyllecisternen i et toilet, såsom et vandkloset, urinal og lignende vandskylleinstallationer (herefter kaldet toiletinstallationer) og nærmere bestemt en dispenser, der, når den er fyldt og aktiveres, afgiver en dosis af vandigt behandlingsmaterial til vandet i 5 cisternen ved hver successiv skylning af cisternen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a dispenser adapted to be placed in the flushing container of a toilet, such as a water closet, urinal and similar water flushing installations (hereinafter referred to as toilet installations), and more particularly, a dispenser which, when filled and activated, delivers a dose of aqueous treatment material to the water. 5 the cistern at each successive flushing of the cistern.

Der kendes dispensere til afgivelse af vandigt behandlingsmateriale til en skyllecisterne, og det vandige behandlingsmateriale vælges, så at det har en rensende, 10 desinficerende, reodorisende og/eller deodorisende virkning i cisternen og/eller toiletinstallationen.Dispensers for dispensing aqueous treatment material to a rinse cistern are known, and the aqueous treatment material is selected to have a cleansing, disinfecting, reodorizing and / or deodorizing effect in the cistern and / or toilet installation.

Deodoriserende eller parfumerende midler, herefter kaldet parfumeringsmidler, i forbindelse med sådanne dispensere er blevet foreslået for at afgive parfume til luften i rummet, hvor toiletinstallationen og skyllecisternen findes for at modvirke ubehagelige lugte hidrørende fra anvendelsen af toilettet.Deodorizing or perfuming agents, hereinafter referred to as perfuming agents, in connection with such dispensers have been proposed to deliver perfume to the air in the room, where the toilet installation and the flushing container are present to counter unpleasant odors arising from the use of the toilet.

stilling har en beholder af fibrøst absorberende materiale, der er mættet med et passende flygtigt desinficerende eller antiseptisk materiale. Parfumeringsmidlet og vandbehandlingen er klart defineret som 5 værende uafhængige arrangementer med kontinuerlig emission.position has a container of fibrous absorbent material saturated with a suitable volatile disinfectant or antiseptic material. The perfume and water treatment are clearly defined as 5 independent arrangements with continuous emission.

Fra US patent skriftet 3 715 765, udstedt til Yadro den 13. februar 1973, kendes en delvis nedsænket dispenser 10 til en skyllecisterne med en åben top, der er lukket af en prop af absorberende materiale indeholdende reodorant eller parfume, og når dispenseren fyldes, tvinges den fortrængte luft gennem det absorberende materiale ud i den omgivende atmosfære. Skønt denne dispenser afgiver 15 parfume med mellemrum ved hver skylning, dvs. når dispenseren fyldes med vand efter tømning, bør det bemærkes, at proppen af absorberende materiale er i konstant forbindelse med atmosfæren uden for beholderen, og det fordampelige materiale siver derfor kontinuerligt ud 20 fra dispenseren.From U.S. Patent 3,715,765 issued to Yadro on February 13, 1973, a partially submerged dispenser 10 is known to a flush cistern with an open top closed by a stopper of absorbent material containing reodorant or perfume and as the dispenser is filled, the displaced air is forced through the absorbent material into the surrounding atmosphere. Although this dispenser dispenses 15 perfumes at each rinse, ie. when the dispenser is filled with water after emptying, it should be noted that the absorbent material plug is in constant communication with the atmosphere outside the container, and the evaporable material is therefore continuously discharging from the dispenser.

Denne kendte dispenser kan således defineres som en dispenser med kontinuerlig afgivelse og som værende i stand til at afgive en strøm af parfumeret luft, hver gang 25 cisternen skylles.Thus, this known dispenser can be defined as a continuous dispenser and capable of delivering a stream of perfumed air each time the cistern is flushed.

Dispenseren fra dette US patentskrift 3 715 765 kan endvidere indeholde en blok af vandbehandlingsmateriale, men eftersom vandet i beholderen altid ligger over mate-30 rialet og vandet tilføres kammeret via en åbning over materialet, er der et konstant tab fra dispenseren af vand indeholdende behandlingsmateriale, så at vandbehandlingen foregår kontinuerligt.The dispenser of this US Patent 3,715,765 may further contain a block of water treatment material, but since the water in the container is always above the material and the water is supplied to the chamber via an opening over the material, there is a constant loss from the dispenser of water containing treatment material. so that the water treatment is continuous.

35 Det bør endvidere nævnes, at i denne kendte dispenser foregår parfumeringen og vandbehandlingen uafhængigt.35 It should also be mentioned that in this known dispenser, perfuming and water treatment take place independently.

En alvorlig ulempe ved sådanne dispensere, hvor parfumeringen og vandbehandlingen foregår uafhængigt, er, at disse to funktioner ikke kan have samme effektive levetid.A serious disadvantage of such dispensers, where perfuming and water treatment are carried out independently, is that these two functions may not have the same effective service life.

55

Denne ulempe undgås både ved dispenseren fra US patentskriftet 429 384 og US patentskriftet 3 715 765 ved, at i det mindste parfumeringsmidlet kan fyldes igen, men det kræver, at brugeren opbevarer en genfyld-10 ningsbeholder for parfumeringsmidlet, og der er åbenlyse ulemper ved overfyldning af dispenseren; endvidere er dette arbejde ubehageligt, hvorfor de fleste foretrækker en dispenser, som kan smides væk, når den ene eller den anden af parfumering/vandbehandlingsfunktionerne er tømt.This disadvantage is avoided by both the dispenser of U.S. Patent 429,384 and U.S. Patent 3,715,765 in that at least the perfume can be refilled, but it requires the user to store a refill container for the perfume and there are obvious disadvantages of overfilling. of the dispenser; furthermore, this work is unpleasant, which is why most people prefer a dispenser which can be thrown away when one or the other of the perfume / water treatment functions is emptied.

Ved de fleste skyllecisternearrangementer passerer det meste af vandet, der tilføres under hver skylning, direkte og hurtigt gennem toilettet, og vandbehandlingsmateriale i vandet, der passerer direkte gennem 20 toilettet, har kun en meget lille, om overhovedet nogen, virkning. På den anden side kræver det vand der bliver tilbage i toilettet, det vand der sidst skylledes over toilettets skylleflader og vandet der danner væskelås til afløb en stærk koncentration af vandbehandlingsmateriale 25 for at kunne udføre den opgave, som det er beregnet til.In most flush container arrangements, most of the water supplied during each flush passes directly and quickly through the toilet, and water treatment material passing through the toilet directly through the toilet has only a very small, if any, effect. On the other hand, the water remaining in the toilet, the water that was last rinsed over the flushing surface of the toilet, and the water that forms the fluid lock for drainage require a strong concentration of water treatment material 25 in order to perform the task for which it is intended.

Det fremgår, at de vandbehandlingsarrangementer, der fungerer efter eller tillader princippet med kontinuerlig afgivelse af behandlingsmateriale til vandet i cisternen, 30 enten er uøkonomiske, hvis opløsningens styrke i al vandet i cisternen har den ønskede styrke, der kræves for vandet der bliver tilbage i toiletinstallationen, eller er utilstrækkelige, hvis opløsningens styrke i cisternen er mindre end den, der er nødvendigt for det i 35 toiletinstallationen tilbageblevne vand.It can be seen that the water treatment arrangements which function according to or allow the principle of continuous delivery of treatment material to the water in the cistern are either uneconomical if the strength of the solution in all the water in the cistern has the desired strength required for the water remaining in the toilet installation. , or are insufficient if the strength of the solution in the cistern is less than that required for the water remaining in the toilet installation.

Da vandet i en skyllecisterne kan. henstå i nogen tid mellem successive skylninger, er det en fordel i et ... sådant tilfælde, at der findes en mild opløsning af vandbehandlingsmateriale i cisternen, langt mildere end 5 opløsningen, der skal forblive i toiletinstallationen, for at undgå de vækster og lugte, som opstår ved stillestående vand.Since the water in a rinse cistern can. stand for some time between successive rinses, it is an advantage in a ... such case that there is a mild solution of water treatment material in the cistern, much milder than the 5 solution to remain in the toilet installation, to avoid the growths and odors caused by stagnant water.

Yderligere en alvorlig ulempe ved sådanne arrangementer 10 med kontinuerlig afgivelse af vandbehandlingsmateriale er, at ved hver skylning afgives alt, eller næsten alt, vandet i skyllecisternen fra cisternen og erstattes af frisk vand ved fyldning fra cisternen. Hvis skyllecisternen skylles før den kontinuerlige afgivelse af 15 vandbehandlingsmateriale har opbygget den ønskede opløsningsstyrke for det i toiletinstallationen tilbageblevne vand, vil dette vand ikke have den ønskede styrke og vil være ineffektivt.Another serious disadvantage of such arrangements with continuous release of water treatment material is that at each rinse, all or nearly all of the water in the rinse cistern is dispensed from the cistern and replaced by fresh water upon filling from the cistern. If the flushing tank is rinsed before the continuous release of 15 water treatment materials has built up the desired dissolution strength for the water remaining in the toilet installation, this water will not have the desired strength and will be ineffective.

20 Fra EP-A 086 857, GB-A 1 193 063, US-A 3 618143 og GB-A 2 090 884 kendes dispensere til anvendelse i et toilets skyllecisterne. Hver omfatter en beholder til et vand-dispenserbart behandlingsmateriale, som afgives til cisternen ved skylning af toilettet. Det er imidlertid 25 ved disse dispensere ikke muligt at overføre parfume fra behandlingsmaterialet til cisternen under en skylle-operation.Dispensers for use in a toilet flush cistern are known from EP-A 086 857, GB-A 1 193 063, US-A 3 618143 and GB-A 2 090 884. Each comprises a container for a water-dispensable treatment material which is dispensed to the cistern upon flushing the toilet. However, with these dispensers, it is not possible to transfer perfume from the treatment material to the cistern during a rinse operation.

Ved opfindelsen foreslås en dispenser, som på grund af 30 sin konstruktion undgår hovedparten af ulemperne ved de kendte dispensere ved, at parfume kun kan afgives fra dispenseren, når vandet i cisternen er under et forudbestemt niveau, ved, at dispenseren indeholder en vandmængde med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning, som kun 35 afgives efter at cisternen er begyndt at skylle, ved, at der findes reservoir af vand med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning under skylningen, så at der findes en mængde af 5The invention proposes a dispenser which, because of its construction, avoids most of the disadvantages of the known dispensers in that the perfume can only be dispensed from the dispenser when the water in the cistern is below a predetermined level, in that the dispenser contains a quantity of water with treatment material. in solution, which is released only 35 after the cistern has started rinsing, in that there is a reservoir of water with treatment material in solution during rinsing, so that an amount of 5

Ved opfindelsen er der angivet en dispenser til anvendelse i en toiletinstallations skyllecisterne, omfattende en beholder beregnet til delvis nedsættelse i vandet i skyllecisternen, når denne er fyldt, afløbsorganer som 10 tillader vand at fylde beholderen delvis, når cisternen er helt fyldt, og tillader vandbehandlingsmateriale i opløsning at strømme fra beholderen ved skylning af cisternen, luftningsorganer til luftning af beholderens indre til atmosfæren i cisternen, og et organ til at 15 understøtte parfumeringsmateriale og vandbehandlingsmateriale i beholderen i berøring med vandet i denne, når cisternen er fyldt, kendetegnet ved, at luftningsorganerne omfatter en kanal, der ved brug af dispenseren har én åbning til beholderens indre og en åbning til 20 atmosfæren i cisternen, at åbningen til beholderens indre ligger under vandniveauet i beholderen, når cisternen er helt fyldt, og at åbningen til atmosfæren i cisternen altid ligger over vandniveauet i cisternen.The invention provides a dispenser for use in the flushing cisterns of a toilet installation, comprising a container intended for partial reduction in the water of the flushing canister when it is filled, drainage means which allow water to partially fill the canister when the cistern is fully filled, and permits water treatment material. flowing in solution from the container by rinsing the cistern, venting means for venting the interior of the container to the atmosphere of the cistern, and a means for supporting perfuming material and water treating material in the container in contact with the water therein, when the cistern is filled, characterized in that the vent means comprises a channel which, using the dispenser, has one opening to the interior of the container and an opening to the atmosphere of the cistern, that the opening to the interior of the container is below the water level in the container when the cistern is completely filled, and that the opening to the atmosphere of the cistern is always is above the water level in the cistern.

25 Takket være denne konstruktion afgiver parfumerings midlerne parfume til atmosfæren i beholderen, men vandet i denne hindrer afgivelse af parfumeret luft fra beholderen, indtil cisternen skylles og vandniveauet i beholderen falder under åbningen i luftningskanalen til 30 beholderens indre.Thanks to this construction, the perfuming agents deliver perfume to the atmosphere in the container, but the water therein prevents the release of perfumed air from the container until the cistern is flushed and the water level in the container falls below the opening in the aeration duct to the interior of the container.

Ved at afløbsorganerne omfatter en kanal opnår man visse fordele, idet kanalens tværsnitsareal bestemmer hastigheden, hvormed væske kan strømme ind i og ud af behol-35 deren, og tværsnitsarealet kan derfor vælges således, at beholderen fortsat afgiver behandlet vand indtil fuldstændig tømning af vandet fra cisternen under en 6The drainage means comprising a channel provide certain advantages, the cross-sectional area of the channel determining the rate at which liquid can flow into and out of the container, and the cross-sectional area can therefore be selected such that the container continues to dispense treated water until complete discharge of the water from the channel. the cistern under a 6

skylning.rinsing.

Ved at der findes en kanal i stedet for en åbning overføres vandets bevægelse i cisternen ikke til vandet i 5 beholderen, eller denne bevægelse reduceres effektivt, så at strømmen af behandlet vand til cisternen er relativ lille mellem successive skylninger af cisternen, og et sådant tab af behandlet vand har ingen negativ virkning på styrken af det behandlede vand, der forbliver i 10 beholderen.By finding a channel instead of an opening, the movement of the water in the cistern is not transferred to the water in the container or this movement is effectively reduced so that the flow of treated water to the cistern is relatively small between successive flushes of the cistern and such loss. of treated water has no adverse effect on the strength of the treated water remaining in the vessel.

Åbningen i afløbskanalen til cisternen ligger fortrinsvis højere end åbningen i afløbskanalen til beholderens indre. Dette frembyder den fordel, at beholderen kun 15 afgiver behandlet vand over afløbskanalens åbning til cisternen, at der tilbageholdes et reservoir af behandlet vand i cisternen, at frisk vand der kommer ind i beholderen ved genopfyldning af denne blandes med det behandlede vand i beholderen og er til rådighed til 20 afgivelse ved den næste skylning, og derved reduceres generelt den tid det tager at tilvejebringe en effektiv opløsning i det i toiletinstallationen tilbageholdte vand i forhold til de kendte dispensere.The opening in the drainage channel for the cistern is preferably higher than the opening in the drainage channel for the interior of the container. This offers the advantage that the container only discharges treated water over the outlet of the drain to the cistern, that a reservoir of treated water is retained in the cistern, that fresh water entering the container by refilling it mixes with the treated water in the container and is available for delivery at the next rinsing, thereby generally reducing the time it takes to provide an effective solution in the water retained in the toilet installation relative to the known dispensers.

25 Organet til understøtning af vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumeringsmaterialet omfatter fortrinsvis et sæde i form af et fremspring fra beholderens ene væg.The means for supporting the water treatment material and the perfuming material preferably comprises a seat in the form of a projection from one wall of the container.

Heraf følger visse fordele, idet man ved dannelse af en 30 støtte fra beholderens ene væg opnår, at vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumeringsmaterialet støttes over beholderens bund. Når blokken hæves inde i beholderen, kommer beholderens volumen under blokken til at udgøre et betydeligt reservoir for behandlet vand i beholderen.There are certain advantages to this, in that, by forming a support from one wall of the container, the water treatment material and the perfuming material are supported over the bottom of the container. As the block is raised inside the container, the volume of the container below the block will constitute a significant reservoir of treated water in the container.

Beholderen er fortrinsvis forsynet med to adskilte mærker, der repræsenterer den øvre og den nedre grænse 35Preferably, the container is provided with two separate marks representing the upper and lower boundary 35.

7 for beholderens nedsænkning i en fyldt cisterne.7 for the container's immersion into a filled cistern.

Dette er relativt vigtigt, idet dispenseren i det væsentlige kræver, at vandniveauet i beholderen skal 5 stige over åbningen i luftningskanalen til beholderens indre, og at vandniveauet samtidig efterlader en tilstrækkelig atmosfære i beholderen, så at parfumen kan være effektiv.This is relatively important as the dispenser essentially requires the water level in the container to rise above the opening in the aeration duct to the interior of the container and at the same time leaving a sufficient atmosphere in the container for perfume to be effective.

10 Dispenseren består fortrinsvis af to dele, nemlig en første flad del udformet med luftningskanal- og afløbskanalåbningerne til cisternen og en anden støbt del med en enkelt udsparing, som ved samlingen af de to dele afgrænser kammeret og luftnings- og afløbskanalerne.The dispenser preferably consists of two parts, namely a first flat portion formed with the aeration duct and drain duct openings for the cistern and a second molded portion with a single recess which, at the junction of the two portions, delimits the chamber and the aeration and discharge ducts.

1515

Denne konstruktion er fordelagtig ved, at den resulterer i en enkel og billig dispenser, som kan smides bort efter brug.This construction is advantageous in that it results in a simple and inexpensive dispenser which can be thrown away after use.

20 Da parfumeringsmidlet og vandbehandlingsmidlet har i det væsentlige samme effektive levetid, anvendes dispenseren fortrinsvis sammen med en blok af den art, der opløses i vand, og som har vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumeringsmaterialet dispergeret i sig.Since the perfuming agent and the water treating agent have essentially the same effective life, the dispenser is preferably used with a block of the kind dissolved in water, which has the water treating material and the perfuming material dispersed therein.

2525

Blokken kan hensigtsmæssigt bestå af en "bærer" med vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumeringsmaterialet dispergeret i denne eller en blok af passende vandbehandlingsmateriale med parfumeringsmidlet dispergeret i 30 denne.The block may conveniently consist of a "carrier" with the water treatment material and the perfume material dispersed therein or a block of suitable water treatment material with the perfume dispersed therein.

Da en sådan blok opløses i vand i beholderen vil vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumeringsmaterialet til stadighed være dispergeret i hele blokkens levetid.As such a block dissolves in water in the vessel, the water treating material and the perfuming material will be constantly dispersed throughout the life of the block.

På tegningen er dispenseren som helhed betegnet med 10 og består af en kombination af en formet del 20 og en flad 10 del 20', der er samlet. Formdelen er hensigtsmæssigt dannet ved støbning, stansning, presning eller vakuumformning af en tynd plade af plast eller deformerbart vandtæt materiale, og afgrænser i kombination med den flade del 20' en beholder med en behandlingskomposition 15 30 og et ved hjælp af et sæde 50 delvis adskilt reservoir 40 for en dispension eller opløsning af vandigt behandlingsmateriale. Formdelen 20 har endvidere to sidekamre eller -kanaler med lille tværsnit, hvoraf den øvre (i den viste driftsstilling) 60 omfatter en 20 luftningskanal, der som sin nedre ende har en åbning 70 til den nederste del af kammeret 30 for behandlingsmateriale, medens det nedre kammer eller kanal 80 omfatter en afløbskanal med en åbning 90 ved sin nedre ende til den nederste del af reservoiret 40 for 25 behandlingsopløsningen. En luftningsåbning 100 findes i den øvre del af luftningskanalen 60 og en åbning 110 på samme sted i afløbskanalen 80.In the drawing, the dispenser as a whole is denoted by 10 and consists of a combination of a formed portion 20 and a flat 10 portion 20 'assembled. Conveniently, the mold member is formed by molding, punching, pressing or vacuum forming a thin sheet of plastic or deformable waterproof material, and in combination with the flat member 20 'delineates a container with a treatment composition 15 and a seat 50 partially separated reservoir 40 for a dispensing or solution of aqueous treatment material. The mold member 20 further has two small cross-sectional side chambers or channels, the upper (in the shown operating position) 60 comprising a 20 vent channel having as its lower end an opening 70 to the lower portion of the processing material chamber 30 while the lower chamber or channel 80 comprises a drain channel with an opening 90 at its lower end to the lower portion of the treatment solution reservoir 40. An aeration opening 100 is provided in the upper portion of the aeration duct 60 and an opening 110 at the same location in the drain duct 80.

9 ningsniveau for dispenseren. Der er ikke vist nogen ophængningsorganer, da sådanne er kendt i mange forskellige udførelsesformer.9 level of dispenser. No suspension means are shown as such are known in many different embodiments.

5 Den komplette dispenser med en behandlingskompositionsblok 130 som vist ophænges i en toiletinstallations skyllecisterne, og ophængningsorganerne justeres således, at dispenseren ophænges således i cisternen, at vandniveauet, når cisternen er helt fyldt, ligger mellem 10 mærkerne 120 på dispenseren.The complete dispenser with a treatment composition block 130 as shown is suspended in the flushing cisterns of a toilet and the suspension means are adjusted so that the dispenser is suspended in the cistern so that when the cistern is completely filled, the water level is between the 10 marks 120 on the dispenser.

Blokken 130 kan hensigtsmæssigt omfatte en blok af vandopløseligt materiale med vandbehandlingsmaterialet og parfumemidlet ensartet fordelt igennem denne, men når 15 vandbehandlingsmaterialet har den egenskab, . at det kan opløses i vand over et tidsrum (passende 1-2 uger eller mere), kan blokken 130 omfatte vandbehandlingsmateriale med parfumemidlet ensartet dispergeret igennem den.The block 130 may conveniently comprise a block of water-soluble material with the water treatment material and the perfume agent uniformly distributed therethrough, but when the water treatment material has that property. that it may be dissolved in water over a period of time (suitably 1-2 weeks or more), block 130 may comprise water treatment material with the perfume agent uniformly dispersed throughout it.

Blokken 130 har i den vandrette plan mindre dimensioner 20 end beholderens vandrette dimensioner, så at vand kan strømme omkring blokken 130.The block 130 has in the horizontal plane smaller dimensions 20 than the horizontal dimensions of the container, so that water can flow around the block 130.

Når dispenseren nedsænkes i vandet i cisternen, kommer vand ind i dispenseren gennem åbningen 110, afløbskanalen 25 80 og åbningen 90, hvorved luft fortrænges i dispenseren og undslipper via åbningen 70, luftningskanalen 60 og åbningen 110, indtil luftningskanalen 60 blokeres af det stigende vand i dispenseren.As the dispenser is submerged in the water in the cistern, water enters the dispenser through the aperture 110, the drainage channel 25 80 and the aperture 90, thereby displacing air in the dispenser and escaping via the aperture 70, the venting duct 60 and the opening 110 until the venting duct 60 is blocked by the rising water. dispenser.

30 Vandniveauet stiger i dispenseren og fylder helt reservoiret 40 for den vandige dispersion eller opløsning af behandlingsmateriale under sædet 50 og stiger omkring sædet 50 op til kammeret 30 for behandlingsmateriale, omgiver de nedre områder af blokken 130 og fylder de 35 nedre områder af kanalen 60 til isolering af kammerets indre fra den omgivende atmosfære. Når atmosfæren i · ··*· beholderen er isoleret fra den omgivende atmosfære,The water level rises in the dispenser and completely fills the reservoir 40 for the aqueous dispersion or solution of treatment material under the seat 50 and rises around the seat 50 up to the treatment material chamber 30, surrounds the lower regions of block 130 and fills the 35 lower regions of channel 60 to isolating the chamber interior from the ambient atmosphere. When the atmosphere in the · ·· * · container is isolated from the surrounding atmosphere,

10 stiger vandniveauet i beholderen fortsat, hvorved atmosfæren i beholderen komprimeres, indtil der opnås ligevægtstilstand.10, the water level in the container continues to rise, thereby compressing the atmosphere in the container until equilibrium state is reached.

5 I den tilstand er blokkens 130 nedre områder nedsænket i vandet i beholderen, og efterhånden som blokken 130 opløses, afgives vandbehandlingsmateriale til vandet i beholderen, og parfumemidlet afgives til parfumering af atmosfæren i beholderen.In that state, the lower regions of the block 130 are submerged in the water in the container and as the block 130 dissolves, water treatment material is dispensed to the water in the container and the perfume agent is dispensed to perfume the atmosphere in the container.

Forbindelsen mellem vandet i beholderen og det omgivende vand i cisternen finder sted via kanalen 80, så at bevægelser i vandet i cisternen ikke overføres til vandet i beholderen eller dæmpes i væsentlig grad af kanalen 80, 15 hvorved der tilvejebringes rolige vandforhold i beholderen. Da massefylden af vand med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning er større end frisk vands, løber kun lidt, om overhovedet noget, vand med behandlingsmateriale op i kanalen 80. Over en lang tidsperiode mellem skylninger 20 diffunderer en vis mængde behandlingsmateriale ind i vandet i cisternen fra det mættede reservoir 40, men dette tab af behandlingsmateriale finder kun sted, når vandet i reservoiret 40 er mættet med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning, og det behandlingsmateriale, 25 der undslipper til vandet, der har henstået længe i cisternen, medfører den fordel, at det hindrer vækster og ubehagelige lugte, der opstår ved stillestående vand.The connection between the water in the container and the surrounding water in the cistern takes place via the channel 80, so that movements in the water in the cistern are not transferred to the water in the container or are substantially attenuated by the channel 80, thereby providing calm water conditions in the container. Since the density of water with treating material in solution is greater than fresh water, little if any, water with treating material flows up into the channel 80. Over a long period of time between rinses 20, a certain amount of treating material diffuses into the water in the cistern from the saturated reservoir 40, but this loss of treating material occurs only when the water in reservoir 40 is saturated with treating material in solution and the treating material 25 escaping to the water which has long been left in the cistern has the advantage that it prevents growth and unpleasant odors arising from stagnant water.

Når toiletinstallationen skylles og vandniveauet i 30 cisternen falder, bevirker tyngdekraften og lufttrykket på den frie overflade af vandet i beholderen, at det behandlede vand i beholderen afgives via åbningen 90, afløbskanalen 89 og åbningen 110, indtil luftningskanalen 60 er tømt for vand, når tyngdekraften alene sørger for 35 afgivelsen af vand via afløbskanalen 80. Under alle omstændigheder har strømmen af behandlet vand langs afløbskanalen 80 en sådan hastighed, at størstedelen af 11When the toilet installation is flushed and the water level in the cistern drops, gravity and air pressure on the free surface of the water in the container causes the treated water in the container to be discharged through the opening 90, the drainage channel 89 and the opening 110 until the venting channel 60 is emptied of water when the gravity is discharged. alone, it provides for the delivery of water via the drain channel 80. In any case, the flow of treated water along the drain channel 80 has a velocity that most of the

det behandlede vand, der kan afgives fra beholderen, frigives til den sidstnævnte del af vandet, der skal afgives fra cisternen, og da denne sidste del af vandet omfatter det i toiletinstallationen tilbageværende vand, 5 løber lidt mindre behandlingsmateriale via vandet først gennem toiletinstallationen, og det i toiletinstallationen tilbageholdte vand med behandlingsmateriale vil således have den ønskede styrke, og der opnås en yderst effektiv udnyttelse af vandbehandlingsmaterialet.the treated water which can be discharged from the container is released to the latter part of the water to be discharged from the cistern, and since this last part of the water comprises the water remaining in the toilet installation, 5 a little less treatment material flows through the water first through the toilet installation, and thus, the water retained in the toilet installation with treatment material will have the desired strength and a highly efficient utilization of the water treatment material is achieved.

Eftersom åbningen 110 i afløbskanalen 80 ligger over beholderens bund, tømmes denne ikke helt for vånd med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning, så at det i beholderen indstrømmende vand ved påfyldningen af cisternen med 15 frisk vand blandes med behandlingsvandet i reservoiret, hvorved der frembringes en vandmængde med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning, som ikke blot reducerer den tid, det tager at bringe vandmængden i beholderen til mætning med behandlingsmateriale i opløsning, men sikrer også, at 20 en vis del behandlingsmateriale, hvis toiletinstallationen skylles to gange efter hinanden, vil være tilbage til den anden skylning.Since the opening 110 in the drainage channel 80 is above the bottom of the container, it is not completely emptied of water with treatment material in solution, so that the water flowing into the container during the filling of the cistern with fresh water is mixed with the treatment water in the reservoir, thereby producing an amount of water with treatment material. in solution which not only reduces the time it takes to bring the water volume into the container to saturate with treatment material, but also ensures that a certain amount of treatment material, if the toilet installation is rinsed twice in succession, will be back to the second rinse .

Da vandniveauet i beholderen falder under skylning af 25 cisternen til åbningen af kanalen 60, kommer den stærkt reodoriserende luft, der tidligere indesluttedes i kammeret 30 for behandlingsmaterialet, i forbindelse med luften i cisternen, der omgiver dispenseren, og blandes med denne luft.As the water level in the vessel drops during flushing of the cistern to the opening of duct 60, the highly reodorizing air previously enclosed in chamber 30 of the treatment material comes into contact with the air in the cistern surrounding the dispenser and is mixed with this air.

30 Når cisternen fyldes igen, kommer vand ind i dispenseren via åbningen 110, og efterhånden som vandniveauet i beholderen stiger, fortrænges den stærkt reodoriserede luft fra beholderen, indtil kanalen 60 igen lukkes af det 35 stigende vand.When the cistern is refilled, water enters the dispenser through the aperture 110 and as the water level in the container rises, the highly reodorized air is displaced from the container until the duct 60 is closed again by the rising water.

DK 158098 BDK 158098 B

Den kraftigt parfumerede luft, der afgives fra beholderen, spredes først i atmosfæren i cisternen og fortrænges derpå fra cisternen, når denne fyldes med vand igen, og spreder sig i atmosfæren i rummet, hvor 5 toiletinstallationen er anbragt.The heavily perfumed air emitted from the container is first dissipated into the atmosphere of the cistern and then displaced from the cistern when it is filled with water again, and spreads into the atmosphere of the room where the toilet installation is located.

Ved hver skylning af toilettet går således en del af det indeholdte vandige behandlingsmateriale i dispersionen eller opløsningen over i vandet i cisternen og derfra til 10 toiletinstallationen, medens den fra blokken afgivne reodorant tilbageholdes i dispenseren, indtil skylning finder sted, hvor en del af denne diffunderer ud i den omgivende luft.Thus, with each flushing of the toilet, a portion of the aqueous treatment material contained in the dispersion or solution passes into the water in the cistern and thence to the toilet installation, while the reodorant delivered from the block is retained in the dispenser until rinsing takes place where a portion of it diffuses. out into the ambient air.
