Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser. More in particular, it relates to a delayed release dispensing system for delivering amounts of a chemical product to a discontinuous stream of a fluid, such as the flush water in a toilet.
- the chemicals to be delivered by the dispenser may be cleansing agents, sanitizing agents, deodorants and the like.
- Lavatory rim block dispensing devices are known in the art. They may, for instance, comprise a cage-like container with holes and a hook for mounting inside the toilet bowl. Inside the container there is a solid block of a sparingly soluble cleansing agent, which is continuously delivered to the flush water for the duration of the flush.
- the European patent application 92,283 (Unilever) describes a cage-like toilet bowl dispenser which is equipped with a siphon system in order to achieve a time delay during the flush cycle.
- a dispenser functions satisfactorily in that some of the dissolved chemical is delivered at the end of the flush, the efficiency is still low.
- drip stains are sometimes observed and the cost of manufacturing is high due to the complexity of the siphon system.
- the international patent application WO-83/01974 discloses a liquid dispensing system for connecting to a flushing-water pipe, comprising a connecting pipe and a casing having therein a chamber and a float-operated valve, whereby a predetermined amount of a liquid product is dispensed into the chamber when the chamber is flooded with flush water.
- the delayed release dispensing system of the present invention which comprises a substantially closed container for holding the chemical product and fastening means for mounting the container, said container having an opening both for receiving the stream of a fluid, such as water, and for allowing it to flow out again after a delay, said system being free of any moving parts.
- the opening is placed above the lowest point of the container, such that some of the fluid is retained inside the container after the stream of the fluid has ceased.
- one or more further openings in the upper part of the container for equalizing the air pressure in and outside the container when the container is being filled with the fluid.
- the opening in the container for letting the fluid in and out is non-wetting to the fluid to reduce dripping.
- the openings may have a hydrophobic finish to reduce dripping.
- the entire container may be made from an hydrophobic material or an hydrophobic insert may be introduced in the openings. Suitable materials for these purposes include for instance poly tetra-fluoro ethylene (teflon) and silicone resins.
- the dispensing system according to the invention may be used as a toilet bowl dispensing system.
- the fluid is water and there are provided fastening means to mount the container inside a toilet bowl. It is preferred when there are also provided means to lock the dispensing system in place under the rim of the toilet bowl.
- a pin may be provided which fits into a hole under the rim.
- the dispenser of the invention may further comprise one or more additional compartments which are open to the atmosphere, and which are designed to deliver volatile components such as perfume, from a suitable impregnated pad, a chemical block or gel.
- the dispensing system according to the invention may also be used inside spray-cleaning machines such as dish washing machines, more in particular in industrial ware washing machines.
- the dispenser comprises a deflector funnel to direct the water to the opening in the container.
- the dispensing system may be attached to the end of pipes and taps.
- it comprises a suitable clamping device and a deflector to direct the fluid into the container.
- Figure 1 is a cross-section through a toilet bowl dispensing system showing a substantially closed container 1 to be held close to the flush water channel by an appropriate hanger 2 which fits onto the toilet rim.
- a block of a sparingly soluble chemical 3 suitable for cleaning and sanitizing a toilet bowl.
- Such blocks are known in the art.
- the container 1 possesses a hole 4 allowing the flush water which may be taken from the flush stream by a deflector 5 to enter the container 1. Near the end of the flush the pressure of the water flow into the container 1 decreases and is finally reduced to zero. The water inside the container which has been in contact with the block of chemical for some time now flows back through the opening 4 into the toilet bowl.
- air may escape during the filling phase, thereby allowing more water to enter the container.
- the air may be perfumed so that a perfume is dispensed during the early stages of flushing the toilet.
- a sump 7 is formed because the opening 4 is situated above the lowest point of the container 1. A small volume of water is retained in this sump, dissolving some of the chemical to form a solution ready for the next flush.
- FIG 2 a schematical projection of the device of figure 1 is shown along the line A-A. It shows a wedge-shaped part 5 to direct the flow of flush water to the opening 4 in the container 1.
- FIG. 3 shows a dispensing system according to the invention for use in a mechanical ware washing machine.
- the discontinuous stream of water originates from the rotating spray arms or a shower head.
- the device comprises a substantially closed container 10 holding a sparingly soluble block of chemical 13, which is in this case a caustic detergent composition.
- the fastening means 12 for mounting the container the device is positioned inside the machine to receive water from the shower head.
- the container has an opening 14 allowing the spray water caught in the deflector funnel 15 to enter the container rapidly to contact the block of chemical. The entry of the spray water is facilitated by the small opening 16 for equalizing the pressure inside and outside the container.
- the opening 14 is positioned above the lowest point of the container 10 such that a residual amount of water is left in sump 17 to dissolve some of the chemical for the next spraying cycle.
- FIG. 4 shows a dispensing system according to the invention for use on an inlet pipe or tap.
- the discontinuous stream of fluid indicated by the arrows originates from a pipe or tap 21.
- the device comprises a substantially closed cylindrical container 20 holding one or more blocks of a chemical 23.
- the device is held at the end of a pipe 21 by means of fastening means 22, such that liquid may flow through the device.
- the container 20 has an opening 24 allowing liquid to enter until it is filled or until the back pressure stops the entry of further liquid.
- the liquid is directed towards the opening 24 by the deflection means 25.
- the opening 24 is positioned above the lowest point of the container such that a residual amount of liquid is left to dissolve some of the chemical 23 for the next time liquid is drawn from the pipe.
- Figure 5 shows a dispensing system according to the invention for use in the sink which can be found on top of a Japanese-type toilet.
- the water used to wash the hands is thereby collected in a tank and used subsequently to flush the toilet.
- the device according to the invention is placed onto the drain of the sink and is thus used to deliver an amount of cleaning or sanitizing agent to the flush water in the toilet.
- the device shown in Figure 5 comprises a substantially closed container 26 having therein a block of a sparingly soluble chemical 27, suitable for cleaning and sanitizing a toilet bowl. As said before, such blocks are known in the art.
- the device also possesses fastening means in the form of two hooks 28 to keep it in place onto the drain of the sink.
- the upwardly curved edge 29 of the device causes the water falling from the tap to enter the container via hole 30.
- the pressure of the water flow into the container decreases and is finally reduced to zero.
- the water inside the container which has been in contact with the block of chemical for some time now flows back through the opening 30 onto the edge 29.
- This edge comprises a number of small holes 31 which allow the water to flow down the drain of the sink into the tank, where it is kept until the toilet is flushed again.
