Abstract

1. A holder for deodorising products comprising two parts hinged together, comprising a suspension hook suitable to fit on the lip of a sanitary appliance, particularly a WC bowl, so that the holder is subjected to the flow of flushing water, said holder, including the hook (C), comprising two portions (A, B) symmetrical about a longitudinal central plane of the hook and joined by a part thereof which forms a hinge joint or linkage (3) for opening and closing, characterised in that the two symmetrical portions (A, B) are adapted to press against each other and/or to overlap each other slightly, by gravity and if required by stretching, due to the position of the linkage or hinge joint (3) made in the upper part of the hook before being placed over the lip of the bowl.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un panier de support en deux pièces articulées entre elles pour produits sanitaires et, plus particulièrement, elle concerne un tel panier adapté pour contenir des produits désinfectants et/ou nettoyants et être suspendu notamment dans une cuvette de WC, ce panier étant conçu, y compris son crochet de suspension, en deux parties symétriques par rapport au plan longitudinal médian de ce crochet et reliées en un emplacement de celui-ci formant charnière ou articulation d'ouverture et de fermeture (voir, par exemple, FR-A-2 457 347).The present invention relates to a support basket in two parts hinged together for sanitary products and, more particularly, it relates to such a basket adapted to contain disinfectant and / or cleaning products and to be suspended in particular in a toilet bowl, this basket being designed, including its suspension hook, in two parts symmetrical with respect to the median longitudinal plane of this hook and connected at a location thereof forming a hinge or opening and closing articulation (see, for example, FR -A-2 457 347).

On connaît actuellement de nombreux types de paniers de support pour blocs nettoyants et/ ou désinfectants qui sont, pour la plupart, constitués par un réceptacle en deux pièces articulées entre elles ou s'enclenchant mutuellement, et un crochet de suspension solidaire ou rendu solidaire de l'une de ces deux pièces. L'inconvénient majeur de ces types de paniers est que l'utilisateur, lors d'une recharge, a toujours des difficultés pour ouvrir ces derniers, du fait que la partie mobile ou amovible n'est plus effectivement décelable après un certain temps d'utilisation, par suite de la présence possible d'un dépôt de produit.There are currently known many types of support baskets for cleaning and / or disinfectant blocks which are, for the most part, constituted by a receptacle in two parts articulated with one another or interlocking with each other, and a suspension hook secured or made integral with one of these two pieces. The major drawback of these types of baskets is that the user, when recharging, always has difficulty in opening them, because the mobile or removable part is no longer effectively detectable after a certain period of time. use, due to the possible presence of a product deposit.

Pour éviter cet inconvénient majeur, la présente invention prévoit donc un panier de support en deux pièces symétriques, obligées à se plaquer l'une sur l'autre et/ou à sémboîter légèrement entre elles, selon la revendication 1.To avoid this major drawback, the present invention therefore provides a support basket in two symmetrical parts, forced to press one on the other and / or to overlap slightly between them, according to claim 1.

D'autres caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation d'un panier de support en deux pièces articulées, pour produits sanitaires, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif et représenté dans le dessin ci-joint, dans lequel la figure unique est une vue en perspective d'un tel panier, adapté pour contenir un ou plusieurs blocs de produits nettoyants et désinfectants et être accroché sur le rebord d'une cuvette de WC pour y subir le jet de l'eau de chasse.Other characteristics of the present invention will emerge from the following description of an embodiment of a support basket in two articulated parts, for sanitary products, given by way of nonlimiting example and represented in the attached drawing , in which the single figure is a perspective view of such a basket, adapted to contain one or more blocks of cleaning and disinfecting products and to be hung on the rim of a toilet bowl to undergo the jet of water of hunting.

Comme représenté dans cette figure, ce panier de support conforme à l'invention est constitué en deux moitiés A, B symétriques par rapport au plan médian, longitudinal au crochet de suspension C et transversal à chaque moitié de panier P1, P2. Chaque moitié de panier, sous forme d'une cage à fentes latérales, est pourvue d'une collerette 1 périphérique à son ouverture, adaptée pour se plaquer sur la collerette identique 1' de l'autre moitié et éventuellement s'emboîter très légèrement par une nervure dans un redan de cette autre moitié (ces nervure et redan n'étant pas représentés, car connus de longue date dans la technique en tant qu'emboîtement libre). Chaque collerette porte solidairement une moitié de crochet 2, 2', dont la forme supérieure est adaptée pour épouser élastiquement le rebord d'une cuvette de WC, si bien que chaque collette 1, l' avec sa moitié de crochet correspondante constitue une forme sensiblement voisine de celle du chiffre six. Les deux moitiés de crochet sont reliées de manière articulée en tête au moyen d'une charnière 3 formée, de manière connue dans la technique du moulage, par une partie amincie de liaison des bords intérieurs de la partie supérieure de ces moitiés de crochet.As shown in this figure, this support basket according to the invention consists of two halves A, B symmetrical with respect to the median plane, longitudinal to the suspension hook C and transverse to each half of basket P1, P2. Each half of the basket, in the form of a cage with lateral slits, is provided with a flange 1 peripheral at its opening, adapted to be pressed onto the identical flange 1 ′ of the other half and possibly fit very slightly by a rib in a step of this other half (these rib and step are not shown, since known for a long time in the art as free interlocking). Each collar carries a half hook 2, 2 ', the upper shape of which is adapted to resiliently fit the edge of a toilet bowl, so that each collar 1, l' with its corresponding half hook constitutes a substantially close to that of the number six. The two hook halves are connected in an articulated manner at the head by means of a hinge 3 formed, in a manner known in the art of molding, by a thinned connecting part of the inner edges of the upper part of these hook halves.

On comprend facilement que ce panier de support peut être aisément ouvert en deux parties, restant solidarisées par cette charnière 3. pour permettre l'introduction d'une charge ou d'une recharge de produit, puis refermé ensuite et se maintenir fermé par simple gravité de chaque moitié de panier dont le centre de gravité se trouve déporté vers l'extérieur par rapport au plan médian de fermeture, cette retenue en position de fermeture étant, en outre, aidée par le poids propre du produit contenu.It is easily understood that this support basket can be easily opened in two parts, remaining joined by this hinge 3. to allow the introduction of a load or a product refill, then closed again and kept closed by simple gravity of each basket half whose center of gravity is offset towards the outside with respect to the median closing plane, this retention in the closed position being further aided by the self-weight of the product contained.

A noter que pour aider au maintien en position de fermeture des deux moitiés de crochet et des deux moitiés de panier plaquées l'une sur l'autre par leur bord intérieur de collerette, la partie supérieure de chaque moitié de crochet peut être pourvue, de part et d'autre de la charnière 3, de languettes ou pattes inférieures 4, 5 (représentées en pointillés), dirigées en opposition l'une à l'autre et formant des leviers de fermeture lorsqu'elles sont plaquées sur le dessus du rebord de la cuvette de WC lors de la mise en position d'utilisation du panier de support.Note that to help maintain the closed position of the two hook halves and the two basket halves placed one on top of the other by their inner flange edge, the upper part of each hook half can be provided with on either side of the hinge 3, of tabs or lower legs 4, 5 (shown in dotted lines), directed in opposition to each other and forming closing levers when they are pressed against the top of the rim of the toilet bowl when placing the support basket in the use position.
