Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for dispensing at least two active substance fluids into the rinsing liquid of a toilet bowl, wherein the delivery of the active substance fluids takes place from a common dispensing opening.
- active ingredient fluid means flowable, that is liquid to viscous, possibly gel-like or paste-like or granular or otherwise pourable active substance preparations with cleansing, disinfecting, deodorizing, bleaching and the like. Effect (in particular described DE 199 30 362 A1, as well as in EP 0 775 741 A 1 and EP 0 960 984 A2).
- Dispensers of the type in question are known under the keyword “toilet bowl” in different versions.
- dispensing devices for a single active substance fluid are known.
- the drug fluid is there in a fixed in a holder or interchangeably inserted reservoir with a mounted on the holder reservoir bottom outlet opening arranged.
- a first known dispensing device for a single active substance fluid the active substance fluid is added via an actuating element (eg made of an open-cell foam) which can be impregnated therewith and acted upon by the rinsing fluid (EP 785 315 A1).
- an actuating element eg made of an open-cell foam
- the outlet opening of the reservoir after expulsion of a closure member of the reservoir of a holder fixedly arranged on the sealing member is largely closed, so that only a flow path with a small cross-section for leakage of the active ingredient fluid is available.
- the device works by utilizing the capillary action of the open cell foam.
- a similar construction is also known with a distribution ribbed plate.
- Each chamber has a dispenser with a dispensing tube, which exits with its one free end over the bottom of the container into the environment and at its other free end fluid leading surrounded by a cover.
- the two chambers of the container can be filled via slit-like passages of a cover part of overflowing rinse water, which then exits in the manner of a siphon or overflow via the delivery tube with entrainment of the respective active ingredient in the toilet bowl.
- the separation of the chambers in the container has the advantage that different media can be used, which would otherwise be detrimental to their desired effect in a common storage in only one chamber. The consistency of the media may vary in the different chambers.
- valve arrangements are known in which a flushing water acted upon lever is connected to a valve that causes the release of a subset of active fluid from one of the reservoir during rinsing.
- Other dispensing devices are realized, for example, by capillary action that forms between the drug fluids and appropriately sized dispensing channels, thus preventing free flow of active fluid from the reservoir.
- the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the described, known from the prior art disadvantages and to provide a delivery system for at least two active fluids, which is to produce a simple and inexpensive way and that a simultaneous and uniform delivery of the active fluids in the rinsing fluid of a toilet bowl guaranteed.
- the formation of a single discharge opening for a plurality of active substance fluids ensures that the active substance fluids are dispensed uniformly into the rinsing fluid and prevents uneven delivery, as may occur, for example, in the case of uneven loading of the rinsing plate in toilet rinsers with at least two delivery openings ,
- a storage container in the sense of this application is a container which is suitable for receiving a flowable or spreadable product.
- the storage container has a bottom-side discharge opening, from which the active substance fluids emerge.
- the storage container can be separated from each other by a partition at least in sections.
- the storage containers are formed in several pieces, wherein the storage container have a common, bottom-side discharge opening.
- Particularly preferred is an arrangement in which two reservoirs are provided, which, more preferably, are separated from each other and each containing a drug fluid. But there may also be several reservoirs for multiple drug fluids.
- the reservoirs are separated from each other to prevent premature mixing of the drug fluids. They may be physically separate or formed as separate compartments in a contiguous body.
- a storage container having a bottom-side opening to be formed on the toilet freshener, wherein the active-substance fluids form in the reservoir substantially immiscible phases with vertically extending phase boundaries and the phase boundary is preferably centrally above the discharge opening.
- the bottom-side discharge opening may be arranged centrally or offset to the center of the toilet rinser.
- the floors may be sloping, in particular, towards the opening in order to ensure complete emptying of the active substance fluids from the storage containers.
- the reservoir transparent to allow a level control with respect to the stored drug fluids.
- the storage container is offered ready made together with a dispenser.
- the reservoir is configured as a refill or exchange unit.
- a dispensing device is an arrangement arranged downstream of the dispensing opening of the storage container in the direction of flow of the active substance fluids, which controls the dispensing of the active substance fluids into the rinsing liquid.
- Control in this context means that a free flow of the active substance fluids is prevented by the dispensing device and a release of product by the dispensing device takes place in particular immediately before, during or after a rinsing process of the toilet.
- the dispensing may be effected, for example, by the flushing water surge of the toilet bowl, for example, by the Spülwasserschwall opens a valve assembly.
- the dispenser may also be realized by an arrangement which prevents free flow of the active fluids from the reservoirs, for example by capillary action. Reference is made to the dispensers, the are known from EP1334239 and are hereby made the disclosure of this application.
- the flowable drug fluids are particularly configured by their respective viscosities in such that they can form substantially immiscible phases with vertically extending phase boundaries.
- exactly two different drug fluids form a vertically extending through the reservoir phase boundary, wherein the phase boundary extends approximately centrally above the discharge opening.
- the active substance fluids for example, do not differ conclusively with respect to their chemical composition, their pH, color, fragrance, flow properties or the like.
- the drug fluids may have substantially identical or different flow characteristics. By different flow properties, it is possible to provide different mixing ratios of the active fluids to each other.
- Active substance fluids which are suitable according to the invention are, for example, fragrance phases, in particular perfumed fragrance phases.
- scent phases usually comprise at least one perfume, preferably perfume oil, at least one surfactant or an emulsifier and water and optionally further ingredients such as preservatives, thickeners, complexing agents, dyes, other surfactants or emulsifiers, stabilizers, lime solubilizer etc.
- active substance fluids are bleaching phases, in particular bleach phases containing chlorine, preferably bleaching phases based on hypochlorite, the bleaching phases optionally containing, in addition to the actual bleaching agent and water, optionally further ingredients such as thickeners, surfactants or emulsifiers, neutralizing agents, dyes, perfumes, etc.
- active substance fluids suitable according to the invention are lime-dissolving active substance phases, preferably acidic lime-dissolving active substance phases.
- Such lime-solubilizing active ingredient phases may contain, in addition to the actual lime solubilizer, preferably an organic or inorganic acid and water, optionally further ingredients such as surfactants or emulsifiers, thickeners, fragrances, preservatives, etc.
- Such highly concentrated surfactant phases may also contain other conventional ingredients in addition to the surfactants.
- active-ingredient fluids having an antibacterial and / or fungicidal and / or antiviral active phase, wherein the active-substance phase, in addition to the antibacterial and / or fungicidal and / or antiviral active and water, optionally further ingredients, such as, for example, surfactants or emulsifiers, thickeners, fragrances , Preservatives, etc. may contain.
- the active substance fluids are enzyme-containing active substance phases.
- enzyme (s) and water such enzyme-containing active substance phases may optionally contain further ingredients such as surfactants or emulsifiers, thickeners, fragrances, preservatives, etc.
- the active substance fluids used according to the invention are absorbent, in particular odor-absorbing, active-substance phases. These may, in addition to the absorbent, in particular odor absorbent, and water optionally further ingredients such as surfactants or emulsifiers, thickeners, fragrances, preservatives, etc. included.
- the dispensing device offers the possibility of using combinations of different active substance fluids in the storage containers, wherein according to a preferred embodiment one of the storage containers contains a fragrance phase, in particular as defined above.
- active substance fluid combinations to be used are perfumed fragrance phase combined with chlorine bleach (together not storage-stable), perfumed fragrance phase with highly concentrated surfactant phase (foam booster), fragrance phase with limesolvent, acidic active phase, fragrance phase with antibacterial active ingredient phase, different acid systems, fragrance phase combined with enzyme-containing active substance phase, perfumed acid phase combined with water-coloring phase, fragrance phase with odor-absorbing phase, perfumed acid phase with active oxygen, perfumed acid phase with active substance phase, thickened with polyacrylate etc.
