Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verkaufseinheit, die aus einem WC-Körbchen und einer für das WC-Körbchen vorgesehenen Nachfüllflasche mit einer Verschlußkappe besteht. Das WC-Körbchen weist einen im Toilettenbecken anzuordnenden Behälter und eine sich vom Behälter nach außen hin erstreckende Halterung zum Befestigen am Beckenrand auf.The invention relates to a sales unit consisting of a toilet basket and a Refill bottle with a cap for the toilet basket consists. The toilet basket has one to be placed in the toilet bowl Container and a bracket extending outward from the container for Attach to the edge of the pool.

Zur selbsttätigen Reinigung von Toilettenschüsseln ist es bekannt, Wirkstoffzubereitungen in einem Behälter am Innenrand der Toilettenschüssel anzubringen. Bei jedem Spülvorgang löst sich ein Teil des im Behälter befindlichen Wirkstoffs im Spülwasser und wird zusammen mit dem Wasser in der Schüssel verteilt. Zusätzlich verbleibt ein Teil des gelösten Wirkstoffs im Siphon und sorgt auch dort für eine Reinigung.For the automatic cleaning of toilet bowls, it is known to prepare active substance to be installed in a container on the inside edge of the toilet bowl. With each rinsing process, part of the active ingredient in the container dissolves in the rinsing water and is distributed together with the water in the bowl. In addition, part of the dissolved active ingredient remains in the siphon and also ensures there for cleaning.

Das WC-Körbchen der eingangs genannten Verkaufseinheit ist für flüssige bis gelförmige Wirkstoffzubereitungen vorgesehen. Einzelheiten zu diesem Körbchen und dessen Wirkungsweise werden im einzelnen in der deutschen Patentschrift DE 195 20 145 A1 beschrieben. Auf die in dieser Patentschrift genannten Einzelheiten wird zum Zwecke der Offenbarung ausdrücklich verwiesen. Nach dem Verbrauch der im Körbchen enthaltenem Wirkstoffzubereitung kann das Körbchen über eine spezielle Öffnung aus einer Nachfüllflasche wieder aufgefüllt werden.The toilet basket of the sales unit mentioned above is for liquid up gel-like active ingredient preparations are provided. Details of this basket and its mode of action are described in detail in the German patent specification DE 195 20 145 A1 described. To those mentioned in this patent Details are expressly referred to for the purpose of disclosure. To the consumption of the active ingredient preparation contained in the basket can do that Basket refilled from a refill bottle through a special opening become.

Der Behälter des WC-Körbchens hat im wesentlichen eine Doppelkegelform. Beide Kegel sind über ein hohlzylindrisches Mittelteil stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden. An diesem Mittelteil ist eine Halteklammer zum Befestigen am Beckenrand der Toilette angebracht. The bowl of the toilet basket is essentially double-cone shaped. Both cones are integral with one another via a hollow cylindrical middle part connected. At this middle part is a bracket for attaching to Attached to the toilet bowl.

Da die flüssige bis gelförmige Wirkstoffzubereitung auf das nachfüllbare WC-Körbchen genau abgestimmt ist, werden das WC-Körbchen und die Nachfüllflasche vorzugsweise in einer Verkaufseinheit zusammengefaßt angeboten.As the liquid to gel active ingredient preparation on the refillable toilet basket the toilet basket and the refill bottle are precisely matched preferably offered in one sales unit.

Bei ähnlichen Verkaufseinheiten aus einem Behälter und einer Nachfüllflasche, wie z.B. aus EP-A-0,201,376, ist es bekannt, den Behälter entsprechend zu verändern, damit er fest, aber lösbar mit der Flasche verbunden, zum Beispiel aufgesteckt, werden kann und auf diese Weise mit der Flasche eine Verkaufseinheit bildet. Zum Verbinden von Behälter und Nachfüllflasche ist es außerdem bekannt, besondere Verbindungsmittel, zum Beispiel Papier-, Klebestreifen oder Kordeln, usw. vorzusehen. Eine weitere bekannte Möglichkeit zum Verbinden von Behälter und Nachfüllflasche besteht in einer gesonderten Verkaufsverpackung, in welcher beide Teile einliegen. Schließlich ist es auch noch bekannt, beide Teile, die Nachfüllflasche und den Behälter, auf einer gemeinsamen Kartonkarte anzubringen.For similar sales units consisting of a container and a refill bottle, e.g. from EP-A-0,201,376 it is known to change the container accordingly so that it is firm but detachable connected to the bottle, for example, and can be attached to it Forms a sales unit with the bottle. For connecting containers and refill bottle it is also known to have special connecting means for Example to provide paper, adhesive strips or cords, etc. Another Known possibility of connecting the container and refill bottle is in a separate sales packaging, in which both parts lie. Finally, it is also known, both parts, the refill bottle and the Container to be placed on a common cardboard card.

Aus ökologischen Gründen und zur Einsparung von Kosten ist es jedoch wünschenswert, eine Verkaufseinheit aus dem Behälter und der Nachfüllflasche zu bilden, ohne daß zusätzliches Verpackungsmaterial verwendet werden muß. Zusätzlich wird angestrebt, daß die Verkaufseinheit ein ansprechendes ästhetisches Aussehen bietet. Schließlich soll eine Verkaufseinheit ohne größere Änderungen am WC-Behälter geschaffen werden, um den Gebrauchswert des WC-Körbchens durch solche Änderungen nicht zu beeinträchtigen.However, for ecological reasons and to save costs, it is desirable a sales unit from the container and the refill bottle form without having to use additional packaging material. In addition the aim is for the sales unit to have an appealing aesthetic Looks. After all, a sales unit should have no major changes on the toilet bowl are created to the utility value of the toilet basket not to be affected by such changes.

Zur Befestigung von Dosierem oder Ausgießhilfen sind eine Reihe von Vorschlägen bekannt. So werden in der DE 29 09 449 A1 und der DE 43 39 889 C1 Vertiefungen im Flaschenmantel mit Rastnasen bzw. im Verschlußdeckel angebrachte Rastelemente für ein relativ kleines Ausgießröhrchen vorgeschlagen.There are a number of suggestions for fastening dosing devices or pouring aids known. So in DE 29 09 449 A1 and DE 43 39 889 C1 Wells in the bottle jacket with locking lugs or in the cap Locking elements proposed for a relatively small pouring tube.

Für größere Zubehörteile ist diese Lösung jedoch nicht geeignet. In diesem Fall, zum Beispiel zum Befestigen von Dosierspeichern für flüssige Waschmittel, ist es bekannt, diesen Dosierspeicher auf den Verschluß eines Nachfüllbehälters aufzusetzen und dazu entweder eine entsprechend große Vertiefung innerhalb der Außenwand des Dosierspeichers oder einzelne elastisch einwärtsbiegbare Zungen an der Öffnung des Dosierspeichers (DE 38 04 666 C1) vorzusehen, so daß eine Rastverbindung mit der Verschlußkappe erreicht wird. Diese bekannten Verbindungsmöglichkeiten erfordern jedoch relativ große Eingriffe in die Form und Funktion des auf die Flasche aufgesetzten Zubehörs und einen dementsprechend großen Aufwand.However, this solution is not suitable for larger accessories. In this case, for example for attaching dosing tanks for liquid detergents, it is known to place this dosing memory on the closure of a refill container and either a correspondingly large deepening within the Outer wall of the dosing reservoir or individual elastically bendable Provide tongues at the opening of the metering reservoir (DE 38 04 666 C1), see above that a locking connection is achieved with the cap. These well-known Connection options, however, require relatively large interventions in the form and Function of the accessories placed on the bottle and one accordingly great effort.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf eine wenig aufwendige Weise eine optisch ansprechende Verkaufseinheit der eingangs genannten Art ohne zusätzliche Verbindungsmittel zwischen WC-Körbchen und Nachfüllflasche zu entwickeln, wobei trotz der sich weit nach außen hin erstreckenden Halterung des WC-Körbchens eine platzsparende, kompakte Verkaufseinheit angestrebt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object in a less complex Way an optically appealing sales unit of the type mentioned without additional connecting means between toilet basket and refill bottle to develop, despite the bracket extending far outwards of the toilet basket is aiming for a space-saving, compact sales unit becomes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Behälter auf der Oberseite der Verschlußkappe aufliegt und dort mittels eines in eine entsprechende Vertiefung einliegenden Vorsprungs lösbar mit der Kappe verbunden ist und daß eine lösbare Rastverbindung zwischen der Halterung und der Nachfüllflasche, insbesondere der Verschlußkappe, vorgesehen ist.This object is achieved in that the container on the Top of the cap rests and there by means of a corresponding Indentation protrusion detachably connected to the cap and that a releasable snap connection between the holder and the refill bottle, in particular the closure cap is provided.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Oberseite der Verschlußkappe entgegengesetzt zur Wand des Behälters geformt, so daß der Behälter flächig auf der Verschlußkappe aufliegt. Auf diese Weise wird zum einen eine besonders haltbare Verbindung zwischen dem Behälter und der Nachfüllflasche und zum anderen ein optisch ansprechendes Aussehen der gesamten Verkaufseinheit erreicht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the top of the cap is shaped opposite to the wall of the container so that the container lies flat on the sealing cap. In this way, on the one hand a particularly durable connection between the container and the refill bottle and on the other hand a visually appealing look of the whole Sales unit reached.

Der Gebrauchswert des WC-Körbchens wird praktisch nicht beeinträchtigt, wenn der Vorsprung an der Verschlußkappe und die entsprechende Vertiefung an der Behälterwand vorgesehen sind.The utility value of the toilet basket is practically not affected if the projection on the cap and the corresponding recess on the Container wall are provided.

Die zum erleichterten Entleeren im Fall der gelartigen Wirkstoffzubereitung auf den Kopf gestellte Flasche zeigt trotz des auf der Oberseite der Verschlußkappe angebrachten Vorsprungs eine hohe Standsicherheit, wenn dieser Vorsprung nicht über die sich am weitesten nach oben erstreckenden Bereiche der Kappe hinausragt.The to facilitate emptying in the case of the gel-like preparation of active ingredients upside down bottle shows despite the on the top of the cap attached projection a high level of stability when this projection not over the uppermost portions of the cap protrudes.

Eine besonders sichere Befestigung des WC-Körbchens an der Nachfüllflasche und eine sehr kompakte Verkaufseinheit werden durch eine Nut an der Seitenwand der Verschlußkappe erreicht, in der die Halterung zumindest teilweise einliegt. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn eine oder mehrere Rastnasen an der Innenseite der Nut zur lösbaren Befestigung der Halterung angebracht sind. A particularly secure attachment of the toilet basket to the refill bottle and a very compact sales unit are due to a groove on the side wall reached the closure cap, in which the holder lies at least partially. It is advantageous if one or more latches on the inside the groove for detachable attachment of the bracket are attached.

Das doppelkegelförmige, ein zylindrisches Mittelteil 5 aufweisende Körbchen (Figur 2) liegt mit seinem Mittelteil flächig auf der Oberseite 6 der Verschlußkappe 1 auf. Die flächige Auflage wird durch die Muldenform der Oberseite 6 der Verschlußkappe 1 erreicht.On the cap 1 of a refill bottle 2 is from a container 3 and a bracket 4 existing toilet basket placed, as in Figure 1 can be seen. The double cone-shaped, having a cylindrical central part 5 The middle part of the basket (FIG. 2) lies flat on the top 6 of the closure cap 1 on. The flat support is due to the trough shape of the top 6 of the cap 1 reached.

Zur Sicherung des Behälters 3 gegen ein Verschieben auf der Oberseite 6 der Verschlußkappe ragt ein länglicher Vorsprung 7 aus der Oberseite 6 der Verschlußkappe 1 heraus. Der Vorsprung 7 greift in eine entsprechende Vertiefung 8 im Mittelteil 5 des Behälters 3 ein. In den Figuren 1 und 3 ist die kurze Seite dieses Vorsprungs 7 zu erkennen, der sich bei einem Zeichenmaßstab von etwa 2 : 1 in die Zeichenebene hinein um etwa 0,5 bis 1 cm erstreckt. Die Vertiefung 8 hat eine entsprechende Größe.To secure the container 3 against displacement on the top 6 of the The cap protrudes an elongated projection 7 from the top 6 of the cap 1 out. The projection 7 engages in a corresponding recess 8 in the middle part 5 of the container 3. In Figures 1 and 3 is the short side to recognize this projection 7, which is at a scale of about 2 : 1 extends into the drawing plane by about 0.5 to 1 cm. The recess 8 has a corresponding size.

Zur weiteren Sicherung der Verbindung zwischen dem WC-Körbchen und der Nachfüllflasche ist eine Nut 9 in die Seitenwand der Verschlußkappe 1 eingeformt. An jeder Seitenwand der Nut 9 ist jeweils eine Rastnase 10 angeordnet. Ein Teil der Halterung 4 liegt in dieser Nut 9 ein und wird von den Rastnasen 10 an den Seitenwänden der Nut 9 lösbar, aber sicher gehalten. To further secure the connection between the toilet basket and the Refill bottle, a groove 9 is formed in the side wall of the cap 1. A latch 10 is arranged on each side wall of the groove 9. A part the holder 4 is in this groove 9 and is from the locking lugs 10 to the Side walls of the groove 9 detachable, but held securely.

Zum Aufsetzen des WC-Behälters auf die Nachfüllflasche kann entsprechend Figur 3 vorgegangen werden. Zunächst wird der Behälter 3 mit in horizontaler Richtung liegender Halterung 4 auf die Oberseite 6 der Verschlußkappe 1 aufgesetzt. Eine Drehbewegung entsprechend dem Pfeil 11 um die Längsachse des WC-Körbchens bringt das Mittelteil 5 sowie die Halterung 4 in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Lage, in der der Vorsprung 7 in die Vertiefung 8 und die Halterung 4 in die Rastnasen 10 einrastet.To put the toilet container on the refill bottle can accordingly Figure 3 are proceeded. First, the container 3 is in horizontal Mounted in the direction of the holder 4 on the top 6 of the cap 1. A rotary movement according to arrow 11 about the longitudinal axis of the Toilet basket brings the middle part 5 and the holder 4 into that shown in Figure 1 Position in which the projection 7 in the recess 8 and the holder 4 in the Lugs 10 snap into place.
