Definitions

  • This invention relates to a deodorant holder, in particular for water closet pans, of the type comprising a perforated container arranged to contain and retain in its interior a suitable block of deodorant material.
  • the main cause is the operations involved in fixing together the component parts of the deodorant holder.
  • deodorant holders comprising a perforated cage consisting of two frusto-conical parts to be joined together at their major base, which is open.
  • connection collar to be fixed between two said frusto-conical parts is associated with the hook of such known deodorrant holders, whereas in other cases said hook is moulded in one piece with one of said parts.
  • Deodorant holders are also known in which the perforated cage is of cylindrical shape and is divided in half as in the preceding case.
  • a further case comprises a cylindrical cage provided with a mouth for insertion of the deodorant block and a closure lid which is snap-inserted into the mouth.
  • DE-A-3002833 (cf. the preamble of claim 1) discloses a container having a single body, suitable to hold a block of deodorant material, a having hook consisting of strip like element which does not consent to insert the deodorant block through an automated operation.
  • FR-A-2593470 discloses a deodorant holder consisting of a two-parts container, in which a strip-like element embraces the container and is joined thereto by its ends and by two break-off tabs, one at the end of the strip like element and one in intermediate position.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a deodorant holder, particularly but not exclusively for water closet pans, the assembly of which is quicker and more simple than for known systems to the extent of allowing it to be automated or otherwise facilitated by relatively simple means, within the framework of a simple and rational construction.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the holder of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a side view of the holder of Figure 1 shown in partial section on a plane passing through the axis of the container.
  • the invention comprises a perforated container 10 for containing and retaining in its interior a suitable block 2 of deodorant material (indicated by dashed and dotted lines in Figures 2 and 3).
  • Said container 10 comprises at least one mouth 11 for the introduction of the block 2, and a series of elastically flexible blades 12 joined rigidly to the peripheral edge of said mouth 11 and projectingly converging towards the centre of the mouth to at least partly close said mouth 11.
  • the container 10 is substantially of right circular cylindrical form and comprises two mouths 11 for the entry of the deodorant block, provided in both end faces of the cylinder and both at least partly closed by said blades 12.
  • ribs or bars 13 On the cylindrical outer surface of the container 10 there are provided various axial ribs or bars 13 extending over its total length. Between these ribs 13 there are provided in the container wall a like number of longitudinal slots 14 through which air and water can circulate, to connect the inner region of the container 10 to the surrounding environment.
  • the blades 12 are trapezium shaped, are separated from each other by narrow radial slits and extend to define a free central region of the mouth 11. This region is of smaller diameter than the block 2. Moreover, the blades 12 advantageously converge slightly towards the centre of the container 10 to limit the axial movements of the block 2 within the container.
  • the entire container 10 and the blades 12 are constructed in one piece advantageously from synthetic resin by known moulding methods.
  • the slots 14 and ribs 13 are interrupted at their centre by a smooth circular portion 15. From this portion 15 there extends a strip-like element 3 the profile of which defines a substantially broken line which embraces said circular portion 15 and is joined thereto by its ends 4 and 5 and by a number of break-off 6 tabs in intermediate positions.
  • end 5 and the tabs 6 are broken and the element 3 bent to form a sort of hook for hanging the container 10 to the rim of the water closet pan.
  • the block 2 On assembly, to insert the block 2 into the container 10, the block 2 is pushed axially from the outside inwards against the blades 12 of one of the mouths 11.
  • the blades 12 deflect elastically inwards, and after the block 2 has been completely inserted into the container they return automatically to their normal non-deflected position to close the mouth 11 and thus confine the block 2 within the container 10 in a reliable and stable manner.
  • the deodorant holder according to the invention can advantageously be automatically fitted to the deodorant block by relatively simple machine means. In any event, even if the fitting is done manually it is relatively much simpler and quicker than in the known art.
