Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing, in toilet bowls or water-using sanitary fixtures in general, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances in the solid state, packaged in a water-soluble bar or tablet or in the liquid state or in a gel.
  • Devices for dispensing in toilet bowls detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, packaged in a water-soluble tablet or bar are known. These devices are generally constituted by a supporting structure, which is composed of an enclosure with a cage-like structure which forms internally a receptacle for the tablet or bar and with a hook-shaped arm for hanging, which is connected to the enclosure and can engage the rim of the toilet bowl so as to support the enclosure below the rim of the toilet bowl, where the holes for dispensing the flushing water of the toilet bowl are provided. In this manner, every time the flushing system of the toilet bowl is operated, the flushing water strikes the enclosure, gradually dissolving the tablet or bar and therefore mixing the detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances with the flushing water.
  • Devices for dispensing, in toilet bowls, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, in the liquid state or as a gel are also known. These devices are provided with a tank, which is hung from the rim of the toilet bowl and contains the detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, and the substances are dispensed into the flushing water usually by utilizing the washing action of the water on a preset region of the device, in which a certain quantity of said substances is provided, generally by gravity.
  • GB 2349157 discloses an apparatus for dosing an active agent into the flush water of a toilet, in which a cylindrical closed tank containing the active agent is rotatably supported on a supporting structure so that a full rotation of the tank is prevented and the active agent can be released from a single outlet.
  • the aperture, together with an active agent inlet and a counterweight, are spaced 120° apart on the surface of the cylindrical tank.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing, in toilet bowls or water-using sanitary fixtures in general, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances in the solid state, packaged in a tablet or bar, or in the liquid state or as a gel, which achieves an improved solution of the substances in the flushing water.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device which, for the same detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances used, achieves a greater generation of foam and a longer retention of the generated foam with respect to known types of devices.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is structurally simple and can be manufactured at competitive costs.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is practical to use.
  • the device according to the invention generally designated in its various embodiments by the reference numerals 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, comprises a supporting structure 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, which is provided with engagement means 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, which can engage the water-using sanitary fixture 4 in order to support the supporting structure 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d in a region of the fixture 4 which is affected by the flow of flushing water.
  • the device comprises a rotating element 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, which forms internally at least one receptacle 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6d', which is connected to the outside and is adapted to contain the substance or substances to be dispensed, such as for example detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, in the solid state, packaged in the form of a water-soluble tablet 7a or water-soluble bar 7b, or in the liquid state or as a gel.
  • a rotating element 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d which forms internally at least one receptacle 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6d', which is connected to the outside and is adapted to contain the substance or substances to be dispensed, such as for example detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, in the solid state, packaged in the form of a water-soluble tablet 7a or water-soluble bar 7b, or in the liquid state or as a gel.
  • the rotating element 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d is supported, so that it can rotate about a rotation axis 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, by the supporting structure 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and can rotate about said rotation axis 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d with respect to the supporting structure 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d due to the flow of the flushing water of the sanitary fixture 4, as will become better apparent hereinafter.

  • the supporting structure 2b has a box-like configuration, which is open on its side that is designed to be struck by the stream of flushing water of the sanitary fixture 4.
  • the supporting structure 2b is provided with two mutually opposite walls 17b, 18b, in which the receptacles 13b, 14b for the pivots 11b, 12b are formed; such receptacles are provided as slots which are open toward the open side of the supporting structure 2b and are closed at the opposite side in order to allow the insertion or extraction of the pivots 11b, 12b.
  • the receptacles 13a, 14b are conveniently inclined downwardly, toward their closed end, so as to effectively prevent the rotating element 5b from being able to disengage from the supporting structure 2b when it is struck by the stream of water.
  • the rotating element 5c has a substantially cylindrical shape, whose axis coincides with the rotation axis 8c and with vane-like fins on its lateral surface.
  • the receptacle 6c is formed coaxially within the rotating element 5c and is closed, at the flat faces of the rotating element 5c, by plugs 30c, 31c, at least one whereof can be removed to allow the insertion, in the receptacle 6c, of the substance or substances to be dispensed.
  • the receptacle 6c is connected to the outside through openings 32c, which are formed on the lateral surface of the rotating element 5c.
