Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water box machine consisting of at least one container to be positioned in a toilet box and intended for receiving a water-soluble active substance combination with a water outlet connected to the bottom region of the container in the form of a molded siphon.
  • water box machines consist of a container with a single chamber for receiving the respective active ingredient.
  • the container can protrude above the surface of the maximum water level but can also be positioned standing on the ground under water or with the help of a hanging device (DE-A-29 16 385) on the side at the edge below the maximum water level of a toilet box.
  • the water penetrating through openings into the interior of the container partially dissolves the active ingredient, so that after the water tank has been emptied, a proportionate amount of active ingredient solution can be added via a container outlet to the water flowing into the water tank.
  • DE-A-29 32449 also describes a water box machine with two or more individual chambers which are sealed off from one another and are each to be closed, and which serve to separately absorb incompatible or reactive active ingredients.
  • the user therefore needs to obtain a double or multiple function, e.g. B. cleaning and disinfecting, just a single device - instead of two or more devices with different functions - used in the water tank.
  • the known device has to be refilled, it is therefore not suitable for single use according to its design and effort.
  • a single-use water box machine with separate containers for receiving incompatible active ingredients is described in US-A-42 08 747.
  • the known device has relatively large storage spaces within the siphon, is only allowed to submerge partially below the level of the maximum water level in the water tank and requires a ventilation line which, in the exemplary embodiment, starts from the connection of the siphon to the bottom region of the container.
  • a machine of this type which is only partially submerged in the water box, cannot generally be used with water boxes provided with lids.
  • GB-A-2 090 884 also shows one intended for single use
  • Water box machine which consists of two foils. One film is made using the deep-drawing process and attached to the other film. The arrangement works in such a way that the water flows through upper openings into an upper chamber and, after passing through a siphon-like seal, passes into a lower chamber, where the active substance block is dissolved. The active ingredient solution then passes through an opening into the rinsing water of the water tank. The device is suspended in the water box.
  • GB-A-2 098 253 a water box automat for a single piece of active ingredient is known.
  • the arrangement is such that the active ingredient solution is lifted out of the device by means of a siphon each time it is rinsed.
  • the device is suspended in the toilet box by means of brackets.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a water box machine that can be equipped with separate containers for receiving active ingredients that interact with one another as well as with a single container, which is also designed for single use and can be produced with correspondingly little effort and which is completely below of the maximum water level is to be placed in the water tank.
  • the solution according to the invention consists in the automatic water box machine of the type mentioned at the outset with a water outlet connected to the bottom region of the container in the form of a molded siphon in the configuration according to claim 1.
  • the tube forming the siphon which by definition is closed except for its longitudinal ends, should advantageously have essentially the same diameter or flow cross-section everywhere.
  • an upper opening cooperating with the siphon outlet is preferably provided in the container wall or ceiling at the top of the container or in the head region of the container.
  • Such a simple device can easily be deep-drawn as a single-chamber, two-chamber or multi-chamber container, so that active ingredients that react with one another can also be used.
  • the siphon outlet openings of adjacent containers are preferably arranged so that their outlets face away from one another.
  • the molded siphons also ensure an exact amount of active ingredient delivered, a respective residual emptying of the active ingredient chamber and always the same solution concentration. A swamp cannot form.
  • an independent outflow of the solution concentration due to specific weight differences is essentially ruled out, so that even in the resting phases a mutual influence of mutually incompatible active substances is not to be feared.
  • fixing ribs for the active substance can preferably be molded into at least one container wall, in particular also into the bottom area.
  • the two containers 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are at least mirror-image identical in their essential features.
  • the containers consist of deep-drawn plastic parts, the border 2 tight, z. B. are integrally connected to a substantially flat base plate 3.
  • the containers 1 each have a siphon 5 molded onto the bottom region 4.
  • the siphons 5 consist only of an outside of the container up to level 6 of the water level in the container 1, then bent and immediately down to below the height of the container bottom 7 reaching pipe with the same flow cross-section everywhere. Since the siphon inlet 8 starts directly at the level of the container bottom 7, each time the container 1 is emptied, the entire container content is set in motion via the siphon outlet 9 ending below the container bottom 7, so that the solution concentration is always the same and a sump formation is excluded.
  • a square hole (18) is provided on one side of the container and a round hole (19) on the other side of the container for the side-oriented pressing in of a bracket in the form of a brace in order to avoid impairment of use.
  • the containers 1 can each have a molded-in stiffening rib or groove-like waist 10 for attaching a holding clip.
  • Other means for attaching or stiffening, e.g. B. the rib 11 in the area between the containers 1 can be provided.
  • the machine according to the invention can be placed in the water tank so that it is completely below the highest level of the water level.
  • a compensation opening 12 corresponding to the outlet 9 of the siphons 5 in the head region 13 of each of the containers 1 is advantageous.
  • the equalizing openings 12 also serve as fresh water supply, while water with the dissolved active ingredient is to be drained off via the siphons 5 when the water level drops into the water tank.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment of the automatic water box machine is shown schematically in FIGS. 4 and 5. The same elements as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the two-phase water box automat according to FIGS. 4 and 5 has fixing ribs 14 for the active substance on at least one container wall 15.
  • the fixing ribs 14 practically prevent clogging of the siphon inlet openings 8.
  • the one chamber 16 of fig. 4 shows a waist-like constriction 17 in an area above the level of the active ingredient.
  • the constriction 17 is shaped in such a way that a flow nozzle directed towards the active ingredient is created for the outflowing water.
  • the shape of the nozzle results in a flow restriction and thus an increased detachment of the active substance.
  • the shape of the chamber 16 according to FIG. 4 can also be provided in all or both chambers, it is used in particular in connection with pressed active ingredient components.
