Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser - in particular a toilet spooler - with an electromechanically induced release of preparations in particular in a toilet bowl
  • compositions are of relevance to a variety of applications
  • the dosage of flowable substances is of increasing importance, which is primarily due to the exact and needs controlled dosage of the corresponding active ingredients, which on the one hand protects the environment by conserving resources and avoiding over- and overdoses, on the other hand, the efficiency of the drugs so dosed is optimized
  • toilet winder are one or Mehrcrobehaltnisse that are hung in the toilet bowl so that when winding the toilet bowl with water a Drug delivery from the toilet winder into the toilet bowl takes place
  • a major disadvantage of this toilet winder is that the dosage depends essentially on the respective local flow conditions in the toilet bowl during the winding process.
  • the flow conditions can be very different depending on the type of toilet and the positioning of the toilet spooler in or on the toilet bowl occur, for example, that in some types of toilet no drug release from the toilet bobbin winder, since the toilet bobbin spooling is not or not sufficiently covered with water and the metering mechanism of the toilet spooler is thus not triggered
  • the rinsing water flow is usually influenced by the introduction of a toilet spooler as a result of the changed flow conditions.
  • the rinsing water flow is often influenced in such a way that spray water from the toilet bowl is sprayed upwards so that rinsing water comes out of the toilet bowl or can come in contact with the user when using the toilet, which is regularly perceived as unpleasant
