Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a product support, in particular a dye, intended to be hung on the rim of a toilet bowl.
  • the purpose of such a device is to dispense a colored solution produced for a limited time following the actuation of the flush and intended for cleaning and / or disinfecting toilet bowls, and it is, so common, consisting of a stick of water-soluble disinfectant device inside an openwork cage, the latter being associated with a hook allowing its suspension on the rim of the toilet bowl.
  • a stick of water-soluble disinfectant device inside an openwork cage, the latter being associated with a hook allowing its suspension on the rim of the toilet bowl.
  • the stick of disinfectant contains a dye to tint the water with each use of the flush.
  • the use of disinfectant and coloring sticks has the disadvantage that after each actuation of the flush, it occurs quite naturally when the bars of the cage and the stick of product contained therein are drained. Under these conditions, drops of water with increasing concentration of dye can fall, sometimes for several hours, on the walls of the bowl, leaving a colored trail, which is unattractive and which can be all the more difficult to make it disappear that the draining of the cage lasted longer.
  • the water level in the tank passes above the elbow of the siphon pipe; the siphon is then primed and there is a flow of colored water passing through the siphon pipe; when the water level drops below the outlet of the tank, air enters the interior of the siphon pipe and causes the latter to be defused.
  • the water level inside the cage can rise slightly towards the level of the elbow of the siphon, without this resulting in a loss of colored water drops.
  • a first simplification of manufacture has been brought about by the arrangement of the siphon outside the cage, as shown by the various embodiments described in French patent n ° 81-09221 and in its first certificate of addition.
  • the suspension hook by which the siphon pipe is at least partially defined, is an element attached to the cage.
  • such embodiments with an external siphon require a phase of assembling the hook to the cage.
  • the present invention aims to further simplify the manufacture of product supports intended to be hung on the rim of a toilet bowl and provided with an external siphon.
  • the support be made in one piece by plastic molding, the siphon pipe being defined by a member carried by an upper half-cage and by a complementary member carried by a lower half-cage, the two half-cages being interconnected by at least one film hinge.
  • the suspension hook is carried by one of the half-cages, for example the lower half-cage, and provision can be made for it to be articulated so as to be able to be molded in a position folded down.
  • the relative arrangement of the complementary members which should constitute the siphon, of the articulation of the half-cages and of the suspension hook is then chosen so that the support can be molded in the above-mentioned folded position of the hook and in the open position. half cages.
  • the present invention therefore relates to the new industrial product that constitutes a support formed, on the one hand, by a cage intended to contain a product used in particular as a coloring agent for flushing water and as a disinfectant and, on the other hand , of a hook allowing the suspension of the cage on the edge of a toilet bowl,
  • the cage comprising a bottom and a side wall defining a reservoir for flushing water and an openwork upper part for the passage of the latter , an outlet orifice being formed in the wall of the tank, said outlet orifice communicating with an angled pipe forming a siphon located and opening out from the tank, the elbow of the pipe being disposed above said outlet orifice but below the upper edge of the tank, the end of the bent pipe, which does not communicate directly with the outlet orifice being situated at a level lower than that of the c oude, the cage consisting of a lower half-cage comprising the flushing water tank and an upper half-cage carrying said perforated part, the half-cages being articulated
  • the member carried by the lower half-cage to define the bent pipe forming a siphon is constituted by an appendage open at its upper part and divided into two compartments, one delimiting the first branch of the elbow of the bent siphon pipe, which is disposed downstream of the outlet port of the tank carried by the lower half-cage, and the other delimiting the second branch of the elbow of said bent siphon pipe which opens to the outside, and the complementary member carried by the upper half-cage is constituted by a cover intended to close said appendage to its upper part and constitute with it the connecting part between the two branches of the bent pipe forming a siphon.
  • the appendage is in particular formed over the entire height of the lower half-cage and the cover of said appendage is constituted by a return angle towards the outside formed on the edge of the upper half-cage.
  • the appendix consists of a housing delimited by a side wall which has a common part with that of the lower half-cage and which is connected to a bottom, said housing internally comprising a partition s' extending substantially perpendicular to the associated wall of the lower half-cage between the bottom and the vicinity of the upper opening of said appendage, this partition dividing said housing into a hollow compartment in communication with the outlet opening of the tank, and into a full compartment crossed from one end to the other by a channel constituting the second branch of the bent pipe forming a siphon, thus opening into the bottom of said housing.
  • the half-cages of the support assemble in a plane substantially coincident with the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the cage, and the half-cages have a substantially parallelepiped shape.
  • the siphon pipe can be arranged laterally with respect to the hinge (s) of articulation between the two half-cages.
  • the suspension hook is carried by the lower half-cage, and, in the aforementioned case where the siphon pipe is disposed laterally with respect to the articulation between the two half-cages, it is advantageously disposed opposite of this siphon pipe.
  • the hook can be articulated by its base to the lower half-cage using a film hinge, in order to be able to be moved between a folded position along the half-cages themselves in the deployed position, in which it is formed during molding, and a deployed position corresponding to the position of use.
  • the hook can advantageously cooperate with retaining means carried by the upper half-cage.

  • the assembly plane of the two half-cages 5 and 6, folded over one another, is substantially coincident with the horizontal longitudinal plane of symmetry of the cage 2.
  • Each half-cage 5, 6 has the overall shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the four faces of which (respectively 5 a , 5 b and 6 a , 6 b for the longitudinal faces; and respectively 5 c , 5 d and 6 c , 6 d for the transverse faces) of the side wall are slightly convergent towards the bottom respectively 5 e , 6 e .
  • the film hinge 7 is arranged so as to connect the upper edges of the side faces 5 d and 6 d , being located substantially in the center of these edges.
  • the lower half-cage 5 carries, on its bottom 5 e , four relief wedges 8, making it possible to maintain the coloring and disinfecting stick 4 slightly above the level of water remaining inside the half-cage 5 forming a reservoir, between two flushing operations.
  • These wedges 8 are formed by fins connected to the bottom 5 e and to the longitudinal walls 5 a , 5 b , two fins being connected to the wall 5 a , and the other two to the wall 5 b , these fins 8 being arranged on the side and on the other side of the transverse vertical plane of symmetry of the half-cage 5, while being parallel to this plane.
  • the half-cage 5 carries, at the edge of the wall 5 c , a latching bead 9 whose role is indicated below.
  • the side wall 5 a of the lower half-cage 5 carries a central appendage 10 which can be seen in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6.

  • the two side walls 10 b and 10 c are perpendicular to the wall 10 a . Furthermore, appendix 10 extends to the height of the upper edge of the half-cage 5.
  • the appendix 10 comprises a partition 11 parallel to the aforementioned side walls 10b and 10c , arranged substantially halfway between them and dividing the appendix 10 into two compartments, one (12) - on the left if the 'we look at Figure 4 - being hollow, and the other (13) - right if we look at this same figure - being full.
  • a channel 15 is formed, of vertical axis if one looks at the support 1 in its position of use, this channel 15 opening into the space 14 at one of its ends and in the bottom 10 d at the opposite end.
  • the internal volume of the lower half-cage 5 communicates with the compartment 12 through a passage orifice 16 formed in the vicinity of the bottom 5 e .
  • the high point of the channel 15 is slightly lower than that of the low point of the stick 4.
  • the lower half-cage 5 On its lateral face 5b , the lower half-cage 5 carries an external median projection 17, in the vicinity of its upper edge, this projection 17 being in the form of a plate.
  • the plate 17 Along its lateral border 18 which is on the side of the film hinge 7, the plate 17 is connected, by means of a film hinge 19 coming from molding, to the base branch 20 of the hook 3.
  • This branch 20, of relatively large length, is extended by being folded once at right angles to constitute a shorter branch 21, which is folded back on itself to constitute the terminal branch 22, the two branches 21 and 22 overhanging the cage 3 in the position of use of the support 1. In this position, the branch 20 has tilted around the film hinge 19 to rest, by its edge, on the plate 17.
