This avoids the mutual blocking of the balls desired in the alternatives described above, on the one hand the section of the first ball projecting into the intermediate storage channel and on the other hand the section of the second ball projecting into the output channel in the representation according to FIGS. 12a-c.
  • the ball 631 can roll directly along the second channel 643 and thus allows the ball 632 to enter the second channel 643, so that this ball 632 does not roll back into the product store like the other balls.
  • the ball 632 follows the ball 631 and is output (when the output device is designed according to FIGS. 2a-c) or reaches the area between the second buffer channel and the output channel (when the further output device is designed according to FIG Figure 3a - e ).
  • Figures 13a - d show another alternative to dispensing two balls.
  • the breakthrough 751 is formed between the buffer channel 741 and the second channel 743, as in the case of those in relation to FIG Figures 1-11 Descriptions described.
  • the height of the second channel 743 is dimensioned such that the first ball 731 does not prevent the second ball 732 from rolling further, so that this second ball 732 can reach an extension 748 of the intermediate storage channel 741 designed as a dead end.
  • the balls are arranged in accordance with Figure 13c . If the metering dispenser is moved from this first position into the second position, the second ball 732 displaces the third ball 733, so that this third ball 733 rolls back into the intermediate store.
  • the second ball 732 falls through the opening 751 and follows the first ball 731 through the second channel, that is to say through the output channel or for intermediate storage in the area between the second intermediate storage channel and the output channel.
  • Figures 14a - c show a further development of the variant according to Figure 13 a - e.
  • the length of the dead end area 848 is limited by a variable slide 890.
  • the dead end area 848 can accommodate one, two or more balls.
  • the balls received in the cul-de-sac area 848 all follow the first ball 831, so that a metered delivery of any one Number of balls can be reached in each dispensing process and the number of balls to be dosed can be adjusted via the slide 890.
  • Figure 15 shows a modified alternative of the variant according to Figures 14 a-c.
  • the slide 990 is provided with a clamp below the dead end area 948.
  • the functionality of the variant according to Figure 15 is further similar to that according to Figure 14a - c .
  • the storage container is generally triangular in cross section, the base surface 1023 of the storage container being used for fastening to the toilet lid.
  • the storage container of the metering dispenser according to the invention can be designed in a variety of ways with regard to its geometry.
  • cross-sectional designs that are rounded compared to the approximately triangular shape, such as elliptical, semicircular or round designs, are advantageous.
  • An essential feature of the cross section is a storage volume provided by the cross section and the possibility of collecting the products at a deep point or area of the container.
  • the ball guide with intermediate storage channel and output channel and possibly a second intermediate storage channel is formed on one of the two side surfaces 1024 of the storage container.
  • This lateral ball guide has a number of advantages.
  • the natural slope provided by the inclined arrangement of the side wall of the storage container is used to arrange the intermediate storage and discharge channels in a manner arranged one above the other relative to the direction of gravity.
  • the variant according to Figure 16 , 17a, b also has the advantage that an optically appealing design is realized, in which, if the walls of the ball guide are made of transparent material, it is possible for the user of the device to follow the movement of the balls in an apparently interesting manner.
  • This alternative also has the advantage that one side of the storage container, for example the one on which the ball guide is not attached, can be designed as a refillable container that can be retrofitted and can be connected to the rest of the device.
  • the ball guide can also be formed directly in the side wall of the container and can thus be part of the refill package together with the storage container formed thereon.
  • Another advantage of this alternative is that the side arrangement enables a space-saving arrangement of several intermediate storage channels. This improves the late delivery of the products, which is often problematic, particularly with openers, and in particular with a full storage container often only takes place when the toilet lid is almost completely open, if only one intermediate storage channel is provided. However, if there are more intermediate storage channels, for example three, the product can be dispensed even at small opening angles.
  • the lateral arrangement of the channels also allows an overall flat design and thereby, in particular if there are several channels, prevents the metering dispenser from building too high, ie projecting too far from the toilet lid. On the one hand, this could have the disadvantage that the metering dispenser is wetted by splashing water when the lid is closed, and on the other hand, a user can get caught in his clothing with the lid open or be disturbed by it.
  • Figure 17a shows in a cross section according to Figure 17b the arrangement of the path planes of the ball guide 1040, which is staggered vertically to one another. Shown is a variant which functions as a break contact, as shown in Figure 2a-c , the alternative according to Figure 17a , b has three buffer areas.
  • Figures 18 and 19th a further device in which two separate storage containers are provided, each of which cooperates with an output device.
  • This output device can, on the one hand, according to the output device Figure 2 and on the other hand according to the output device Figure 3 be trained. According to the alternative Figures 18 and 19th different output modalities of the products can be achieved.
  • two different products can be dispensed each time the toilet lid is opened (from the first to the second position) or each time the toilet lid is closed (from the second to the first position), in that the reservoir 1120 with a first product and the reservoir 1120 'is filled with a second product and the dispensing devices 1140 and 1140' both as “openers” (according to Figure 2a-c ) or both "NO contacts" (according to Figure 3a-c ) be formed.
  • the output of various products when opening and closing can be realized by filling the storage containers 1120 and 1120 'with various products and designing the output device 1140, 1140', as in the variant described above.
  • the pre-portioned products can, as previously described, consist of a material in the solid state of aggregation or can comprise a shell in a solid state of aggregation which encloses a material in the liquid or gaseous state.
  • a number of formulations are known to the person skilled in the art, which can be brought into the solid, liquid or gaseous form with appropriate measures and stabilized therein in order to serve as product material, wrapping material or filler material for products to serve with a wrapper.
  • Formulation example 1 ingredients Chemical name % By weight Emuldac AS-25 Linear alcohol ethoxylate (29EO) (C16) 65 Lipoxol 6000 Polyoxyethylene (12EO) 14 Marlipal O 13/120 Polyoxyethylene (12EO) tridecyl ether 5 Comperlan 100 N- (2-hydroxyethyl) coconut fatty acid amide 5 Licowax KLE FL Octacosanoic acid ester with emulsifier 5 Perfume oil Perfume oil 6
