Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the distribution of a solution, in particular colored, intended for cleaning and / or disinfecting toilet bowls, this colored solution being produced for a limited time following the actuation of the flush. .
  • part of the flushing water flows onto the perforated cage and entrains, by dissolution in the bottom of the bowl, part of the active substances contained in the stick of product.
  • the aforementioned active product sticks contain dyes making it possible to tint the water each time the flush is used.
  • the use of coloring sticks has the disadvantage that after each actuation of the flush, it naturally occurs a draining of the bars of the cage and the stick of product contained therein. The stick is drained slowly and consists of drops of water which have therefore remained on the stick for a long time and which are therefore heavily loaded with material to be dissolved.
  • the stick contains a coloring substance
  • the result is that drops of water with increasing concentration of coloring substance can fall, sometimes for several hours, on the walls of the bowl leaving it to remain - even in the case where the dye does not is not very soluble - an unattractive colored trail, which it is difficult, if not impossible, to make disappear, especially if the draining of the cage lasted a very long time.
  • the depositing company sought to make a new cage which, however, offers the advantages of a swivel container. She then imagined placing the product in the bottom of an open container, of the tray type, so that it is kept there and mounting said container inside an openwork cage so that it can pivot around an axis substantially parallel to its bottom. Under conditions in which the center of gravity of the assembly constituted by the container and the product which it contains is not located on the longitudinal axis of pivoting of the container, the latter comes to occupy, during the installation of the support in the bowl, either its stable equilibrium position, or its unstable equilibrium position (or positions close to these two positions mentioned above due to the existence of friction).
  • the water pouring onto the support during the flushing maneuver, will automatically rotate the container to place it in its stable equilibrium position.
  • the flushing water fills the container and then allows the dissolution of part of the active substances contained in the product, the overflow spilling over the upper edge of the container. If there is, at the end of the operation, a dripping of the bars of the cage or the tray, the drops then falling into the bottom of the bowl, if they are not constituted simply by water, which is the case if these drops do not pass through the interior of the container, will come from the solution formed at the end of spraying.
  • the present invention offers the advantage that it is easy to arrange, due to the pivoting mounting of the container inside the cage, so as not to have to orient, during the factory mounting, on the one hand, the cage and container relative to each other, and, secondly, the cage and hook relative to each other.
  • the present invention therefore relates to the new industrial product that constitutes a support formed, on the one hand, of an openwork cage intended to contain at least one water-soluble product, in particular a dye, used for the disinfection and deodorization of toilet bowls.
  • a hook allowing the suspension of the perforated cage on the rim of a toilet bowl, characterized in that the water-soluble product (s) is (or are) disposed in the bottom of a container in which it (s) is (or are) held, said container being open in its region opposite to said bottom and being mounted, in the perforated cage, so to be able to pivot on itself inside said openwork cage around an axis substantially parallel to the mean plane of said bottom, the center of gravity of the assembly constituted by the container and the product (s) that it contains being located at a non-zero distance from said pivot axis on the bottom side of the container.
  • the water-soluble product (s) is (are) in the form of at least one block obtained by solidification in situ in the container of minus a hot-pourable formulation.
  • the container internally carries at least one attachment rib intended to be at least partially embedded in the (or) block (s) of product.
  • the water-soluble product (s) is (or are) added (s) to the container, the latter internally carrying a support means for said (or said) reported product (s).
  • each of the end walls of the container which is arranged transversely to the pivot axis externally comprises a hinge means complementary to a means carried by the wall opposite the cage.
  • each end wall of the container externally has a hollow zone, the wall of the facing cage internally having a boss, or vice versa, the bosses and the hollow zones being of revolution with respect to the pivot axis of the container and having complementary shapes.
  • the bosses and the associated recessed areas may have the shape of a spherical cap or a conical shape.
  • the pivot axis of the container is substantially horizontal when the support is in its position of use;
  • the cage has a longitudinal axis of symmetry coincident with the pivot axis of the container;
  • the container has external dimensions allowing it to occupy most of the interior volume of the cage, which constitutes ease of mounting the container inside the latter;
  • the container has an overall geometric shape comprising a longtudinal axis coincident with the pivot axis of said container, the latter possibly, in particular, having the shape of an elongated rectangular parallelepiped of which one of the longitudinal faces is not materialized;
  • the container has grooves on the outside to guide the flow of the overflow from said container; and
  • the openwork cage results from the assembly of two half-cages, the suspension hook comprising a connection sleeve cooperating with the cage in the junction zone between the half-cages.
  • a support consisting, on the one hand, of an openwork cage 2 intended to contain a water-soluble product 3, with deodorant action and disinfectant, said product 3, which moreover contains a coloring substance, being contained in a tray 4, and, on the other hand, by a hook 5 intended to allow the suspension of the cage 2 on the rim of a bowl of bathroom.
  • the cage 2 is formed by the assembly of two half-cages 6, 7; it has a generally cylindrical shape and has bars 8 parallel to its axis, connected at each end of the cage 2, to a disc 9, and, in the region of the transverse median plane of the cage 2, to one of the two connecting half-rings 10, 11 that each half-cage 6, 7 has respectively.
  • the cage 2 is also provided with coaxial rings 12, regularly spaced along said cage 2 and arranged perpendicular to the axis of the latter.
  • connection half-ring 10 of the half-cage 6 has externally, along its free edge, a peripheral ring 13, while the connection half-ring 11 of the half-cage 7 has internally, also along its free edge, an annular groove 14.
  • the half-cages 6, 7 can be secured to one another by means of the snap-fastening of the rod 13 to inside the throat 14.
  • each half-ring 10, 11 forms, near its junction with the perforated side wall of the associated half-cage 6, 7 respectively, a bead 15, 16 respectively, projecting radially with respect to said perforated side wall. .
  • the beads 15, 16 define an annular space 17 whose role is indicated below.
  • each end disc 9 of a half-cage 6, 7 respectively comprises, directed towards the center of the associated half-cage 6, 7 a bead 18 having the shape of a spherical cap of axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the cage 2.
  • the role of these beads 18, which are formed here by a deformation of the wall of the discs 9, is indicated below.
  • the suspension hook 5 consists, on the one hand, of a U-shaped part 19 intended to suspend the support 1, and, on the other hand, of a part which supports the perforated cage 2, and which consists in a connection sleeve 20 intended to cooperate with the half-rings 10, 11 of the half-cages 6, 7.
  • the U-shaped part 19 of the hook 5 comprises two branches 19a, 19b connected by a core 19c.
  • the branch 19a is connected to the sleeve 20 in a substantially tangential manner; the core 19c is arranged so as to overhang the sleeve 20 and the branch 19b, shorter than the branch 19a, has a free end 19d slightly folded in the direction of the branch 19a so as to facilitate the positioning of the support 1.
  • connection sleeve 20 has internally a rib 21, which is interrupted in the case of the support 1 shown in the drawing, said rib 21 being intended to be placed in the annular space 17 above when the sleeve 20 is snapped onto the connection ring formed during the assembly of the half-cages 6, 7.
  • the container 4 in the shape of an elongated rectangular parallelepiped, has a bottom 22 to which two opposite longitudinal walls 23 and two opposite transverse walls 24 are connected, the latter being of substantially square shape.
  • This container 4 therefore constitutes a tray into the bottom of which is poured in situ the product 3 which is advantageously constituted by a formulation containing a dye, or a disinfectant such as trichloro-cyanuric acid, or both simultaneously.
  • the free upper edge of one of the longitudinal walls 23 of the container 4 has a U-shaped notch 25 of small size.
  • Each transverse wall 24 externally comprises a hollow zone 26 having the shape of a spherical cap whose axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the parallelepiped that the container 4 forms.
  • the hollow areas 26 receive the complementary shaped beads 18 carried by the cage 2, so as to allow the pivoting mounting of the container 4 in the cage 2, the beads 18 playing the role of axes cooperating with the areas 26 which play the role of bearings.
  • the walls 24 each have internally a middle rib 24a extending from the bottom 22 to the vicinity of the free edge of the container 4, these ribs 24a facilitating the attachment of product 3 in said container 4.
  • the manufacture and assembly in the factory of the support 1 is extremely simple; all the elements which compose it are obtained by molding a plastic material, the containers 4, the hooks 5, the half-cages 6, 7 being made, of polypropylene.
  • each container 4 is introduced into a half-cage 6 or 7 and the other half-cage 7 is fixed to it. 6; in this mounting operation, there is no need to worry about the relative position of the half-cages 6, 7 and the position that the container 4 takes inside the cage 2 thus formed. Then, for each assembly thus formed, there is a hook 5 at one end of the cage 2 and its sleeve 20 is slid until it snaps into the connection ring formed by the meeting half-rings 10,11 of the cage 2. There is also no need either, during the installation of this hook 5, to be concerned with the relative position which it occupies with respect to the cage 2.
  • the axis of the cage 2 When the support 1 is in place in a toilet bowl, the axis of the cage 2 then being arranged horizontally, the container 4, by virtue of its mounting pivoting about this axis and taking into account that the center of gravity of the container 4 / product 3 assembly is at a non-zero distance from said axis, tends to take one or the other of the equilibrium positions shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively, or a position close to these positions d balance due to friction that may exist.
  • FIG 3 there is shown the container 4 in its stable equilibrium position, in which the bottom 22 of said container 4 is located below the longitudinal axis of the cage 2, in the plane parallel to said axis; in Figure 4, there is shown the unstable equilibrium position of said container 4, in which said bottom 22 is located above the aforementioned axis, always in a plane parallel to said axis.
  • the container 4 If, inside the toilet bowl, the container 4 is in the position it occupies in FIG. 3, when the flush is activated, the flushing water flows out at a high rate onto the cage 2 and it enters, through the openings of said cage 2 inside the container 4. This container then fills with highly colored water, the overflow then overflowing over the upper edge of the walls 23 and 24 of the container 4. The colored water then escapes through the openings of the cage 2 and falls into the toilet bowl. When the water flow has stopped, the container 4 remains filled, at its upper part, with colored water.
  • the container 4 is always placed in the correct position and can operate until all the product 3 has been entrained in the bottom of the bowl, as a result of the successive maneuvers of the flush.
  • the container 104 differs from the container 4 only in details of construction. Like the container 4, it has the shape of an elongated parallelepiped, and has a bottom 122 to which two opposite longitudinal walls 123 and two opposite transverse walls 124 are connected.
  • the recessed areas 126 formed externally in the walls 124 have a conical shape whose axis is also coincident with the pivot axis of the container 104 and which are intended to cooperate with beads of complementary shape provided on the associated cage.
  • the container 104 has internally two identical ribs 124a arranged in the median longitudinal plane of the container 104 and each having the shape of a right triangle connecting, on the one hand, to the bottom 122 and, on the other hand , at wall 124.
  • the container 104 has two ribs 127 of low height, arranged symmetrically with respect to the median transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container 104, these ribs 127 being carried by the bottom 122 and the two opposite longitudinal walls 123 of cage 104.
  • each of the walls 123 has, in the vicinity of its junction with one of the walls 124, an inward recess constituting a groove 129 extending from the bottom 122 to the vicinity of the upper edge of the wall 123.
  • the grooves 129 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median transverse plane of the container 104. In this way, the overflow of colored solution that the container 104 will contain can flow out along these grooves 129.
