Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drug dispenser for a toilet bowl and to a method of making such an active agent dispenser.
  • the European patent EP 1 444 319 B1 shows, for example, a drug delivery device, which is characterized essentially by the fact that in a first chamber of a housing a cleaning, disinfecting, water-treating or against calcification composition is maintained and in a second chamber of the same housing a gelled perfume.
  • this drug delivery device can be hung in the toilet bowl, and the second chamber should, in order to allow a uniform and undisturbed delivery of perfume, not be in the way of flushing the toilet bowl.
  • the composition which is located in the first chamber, in a flushing of the toilet of rinse water, so that a certain amount of the composition is flushed into the toilet bowl.
  • the gelled perfume scents the ambient air permanently.
  • the second component is delivered to the ambient air at a substantially constant rate.
  • an automatic delivery mechanism of the fragrance component does not take into account that the requirements for the ventilation of the toilet room with very frequent use of the toilet bowl tend to be significantly greater than when the toilet is rarely used. For example, in household use, if an owner of an apartment has invited many guests, his toilet bowl is used very frequently during the visit, and then there is a particular need for unpleasant odors Fragrance dispensing eliminated or covered.
  • the second chamber in combination with the gelled perfume, is designed so that the dimensions of the delivery surface remain essentially the same upon evaporation and / or overflow.
  • the first chamber may be provided with a cover in which, for example, the inlet and the outlet opening is installed. However, it can also be designed without a separate cover.
  • the inlet opening and the outlet opening may be two separate openings, but they may also be realized as a combined inlet / outlet opening.
  • both a plurality of inlet openings and a plurality of outlet openings may be provided, and preferably additional openings which at least do not primarily serve to pass rinse water, but rather to the continuous delivery of fragrances contained in the respective composition or mixture.
  • the active substance dispensing device can also be kept in the first chamber without the corresponding mixture or the corresponding composition, but the mixture or composition is preferably contained in the first chamber.
  • a corresponding retrofit kit of a mixture or a composition of the type mentioned would be used for (re-) filling the first chamber.
  • the suspension is preferably designed for removably hanging the housing at the edge of the toilet bowl, that is, so that it can be unhooked from the toilet bowl again, without having to be destroyed before. As a result, for example, a refilling, in particular the first chamber, are performed.
  • the present invention therefore turns away from keeping the second chamber out of the way of the rinse water, but it proceeds according to the exact opposite principle:
  • the second chamber is targeted at least partially in the path of the rinse water, namely such that the gelled perfume is at least partially flushed over at its delivery surface.
  • the housing has a geometry that allows such over-flushing. On the one hand, this can be achieved by positioning the dispensing surface in the housing in such a way that the overflow is possible, and on the other hand by the fact that the housing as a whole is dimensioned and designed in such a way that overflowing is possible far-reaching, so large areas of the housing, namely at least the first chamber and partially the second chamber is possible.
  • the second chamber is combined with the gelled perfume in such a way that the gelled perfume has an essentially always the same dispensing surface.
  • the term “substantially” refers to the fact that the delivery surface can have certain height tolerances in itself, which can be equalized or more pronounced when washing over or when dispensing fragrances. These tolerances are therefore not taken into account here; Instead, it is assumed that the delivery surface is approximately planned. It is thus decidedly avoided that the perfume is reduced or removed all around in its dimensions, but it should be reduced at most in one spatial direction, namely the spatial direction transverse to the plane of extension of the delivery surface.
  • this effect is achieved in that the gelled perfume is held in the housing in such a way that flushing at the edge regions of the dispensing surface or backwashing on a surface beyond the dispensing surface is as far as possible prevented.
  • it is prevented by the nature of the perfume itself, that the perfume is removed during the life of the composition or the mixture in the first chamber due to its scent delivery or overflow at its edge regions of the delivery surface.
  • Corresponding possible materials for such a gelled perfume are exemplified below.
  • the effect of the drug delivery device according to the invention is that the gelled perfume in the second chamber is specifically moistened.
  • the inventors have surprisingly found that, contrary to the fears implicitly expressed in the prior art, such overflushing does not have to have a negative effect on the scent delivery effect of the gelled perfume.
  • a composition consisting of a perfume ingredient, a solvent ingredient, a thickener ingredient and optionally a dye ingredient can be used.
  • the following composition has been found to be particularly effective, both in terms of the output of the fragrance and the rinsing resistance of the overall composition: Perfume 50 - 80% dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether 0 - 30% (eg Dowanol DPM from Dow, Arcosolv DPM from Lyondellbasell) Cellulose acetate butyrate (eg Eastman CAB-381-0.5) 10 - 20% dye optional as required
  • the proportion of solvent in the composition is relatively low;
  • the composition is further characterized by the fact that it has no stored water content.
  • a water-based separation effect when washing over the gelled perfume is largely reduced.
  • the perfume should namely, despite the overspray not or only slightly dissolve in water to minimize surface losses due to rinsing.
  • the present composition was also placed on a plastic disc for testing at room temperature in water and thus tried to dissolve the composition with stirring. After two hours (corresponding to about 300 flushes with 20 to 30 seconds of water contact), depending on the perfume used, between 1.9% and 5.4% of the gelled perfume dissolved.
  • the overflow of the gelled perfume thus does not have the effect that it would be used up to the end of the life of the substances contained in the first chamber.
  • an active substance delivery device is produced by providing the individual components already mentioned above and by combining them.
  • the second chamber is designed so that it is surmounted at least partially by the edge of the toilet bowl when properly suspending the drug delivery device in the toilet bowl.
  • the entire housing is dimensioned and shaped by its geometry that it is surmounted overall (at least in certain areas) from the edge of the toilet bowl.
  • the second chamber in the housing may be arranged so that it (at least partially) is arranged under the edge of the toilet bowl when properly suspending the drug delivery device.
  • Other areas of the drug delivery device need not necessarily be arranged below the edge.
  • Such an overhanging of the edge of the toilet bowl via the second chamber causes in a particularly simple manner that the second chamber is at least partially in the path of the rinse water.
  • the housing tapers from a middle region, on which the suspension device is fastened, toward at least one end region in the transverse direction to a suspension direction defined by the suspension device, preferably tapering.
  • the central area serves to "catch" the rinse water centrally or to accumulate something, whereby it is directed into the tapered end area.
  • the second chamber is positioned in such an end region. In such a case, it is precisely the second chamber in the end region which can be particularly easily washed over by the rinsing water.
  • Such a taper can take place both along a sectional plane which is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the water level in the toilet bowl, as well as in a substantially parallel sectional plane to the level of the water level in the toilet bowl.
  • the flushing effect by diversion from the central region in the direction of the respective end region results in particular when the taper in the sectional plane is perpendicular to the plane of the water level.
  • a combination of tapers in the two cutting planes can also be provided.
  • the housing is convexly formed on its front side and / or on its back at least partially.
  • the drug delivery device can conform to the concave surface profile of the toilet bowl or (in a convex shape on the front) are guided below the edge of the toilet bowl.
  • the second chamber may in principle be provided with a cover which partially shields the dispensing surface from an outside of the housing.
  • a cover which partially shields the dispensing surface from an outside of the housing.
  • Such a cover then has inlet or outlet openings, wherein the rinse water can enter via the inlet openings and exit from the outlet openings again.
  • the fragrance can be dispensed.
  • you can Inlet and outlet ports may be combined as common openings. Again, it is possible to provide one or more such (inlet and / or outlet) openings.
  • the second chamber is at least partially formed free of cover at least on its side with the delivery surface. This has the effect that a uniform delivery over the entire delivery surface of the gelled perfume can be done and is not partially prevented by a cover.
  • the second chamber Since the second chamber is designed to be overflowed by the rinse water, it may, in contrast to the above-cited prior art, also on the back, that is mounted in the direction of the wall of the toilet bowl. It is nevertheless preferred that the second chamber is arranged at the front and at least partially open towards the central region of the toilet bowl. On the one hand, this results in increased scent delivery of the gelled perfume in the second chamber and, moreover, it is possible to inspect the gelled perfume without unhooking the drug delivery device from the toilet bowl. As a result, a user can at any time recognize whether sufficiently gelled perfume is still kept in the second chamber and, if appropriate, ensure timely replacement of the active substance delivery device.
  • the perfume is anyway such that its delivery surface is not significantly reduced in the course of its life, it is also assumed that it does not become unsightly over time, such as cracking in the delivery surface o. ⁇ .
  • the gelled perfume especially with appropriate color, also develop a certain aesthetic value.
  • a constant delivery surface can be realized simply by virtue of the gelled perfume having such low water solubility and so low a mass reducing effect on the delivery of perfume that no shrinkage effect can occur along the edges of the delivery.
  • Surface is recognizable.
  • the delivery surface of the gelled perfume by walls of the second chamber at least partially, preferably all around, is limited. Such walls effectively prevent backwashing of the gelled perfume by preventing the ingress of rinse water along the Prevent edges of the delivery surface. Therefore, it is particularly preferred that the gelled perfume is protected by all-round Wandritch before such backwashing.
  • the second chamber comprises a number of anchoring elements which fix the gelled perfume in a designated anchoring position within the second chamber with respect to at least one spatial direction.
  • anchoring elements thus serve to maintain the position of the gelled perfume along a plane parallel to the plane of the delivery surface, but at least in one of the two main directions of extension of this parallel plane, so that a lateral slippage and thus unwanted detachment of the gelled perfume of the the delivery surface opposite surface of the gelled perfume can be at least largely prevented.
  • the second chamber comprises a plurality of anchoring elements, which are spaced from each other and from an edge of the second chamber depending on a viscosity of the gelled perfume that the gelled perfume when properly suspended in the toilet bowl is substantially unchanged in its position in the second chamber, preferably held so that a gap-free connection between the edge of the second chamber and the gelled perfume is ensured.
  • the distances of these anchoring elements from each other or from the edge of the second chamber are chosen depending on the viscosity of the gelled perfume. Stated differently, the gelled perfume may only have such a viscosity, which are adapted to the distances of the anchoring elements from each other or the anchoring elements from the respective edge of the second chamber.
  • Such conditions are given for example in a drug delivery device with anchoring elements at a distance of at most 1 cm from each other and at a distance of at most 0.5 cm from the edge of the second chamber when the gelled perfume has viscoelastic properties in use, ie as a solid whose deformation behavior includes both elastic and viscous behavioral patterns.
  • anchoring elements should be spaced apart as far as possible at a distance of at most 30 mm, preferably at most 20 mm, particularly preferably at most 10 mm from each other, for example in the case of the gelled perfume has been stated above, bring about a sufficient positional fixation.
  • this should be at most 20 mm, preferably at most 10 mm, particularly preferably at most 5 mm.
  • the anchoring elements can basically be designed in the form of arbitrarily complicated geometries, which for example protrude from the edge of the second chamber or press from above onto the delivery surface of the selected perfume.
  • the anchoring elements are also referred to as holding elements for the gelled perfume.
  • the anchoring elements comprise pins or the like projecting from a back plane of the second chamber.
  • Such pins may have a rounded as well as an angular cross-section or combinations thereof.
  • the positioning of the individual anchoring elements preferably takes place in a uniform pattern within the second chamber, for example in row and row arrangements, each with uniform spacing from one another in at least one spatial direction.
  • the anchoring elements are designed so that they are at least in the initial state of the drug delivery device, i. do not protrude from the delivery surface of the gelled perfume at the front of the drug delivery device prior to first intended use or overflow.
  • the height of the anchoring elements in the chamber in the direction of the front of the drug delivery device is therefore less than the filling level of the gelled perfume in the relevant chamber.
  • both the first chamber and the second chamber can be positioned anywhere in the housing.
  • it has proved to be particularly effective for handling when the first chamber is arranged at least in a central region of the housing, to which the suspension device is attached.
  • This ensures that the first chamber, which is provided for the liquid delivery of the substances contained in it, is always positioned optimally below the edge of the toilet bowl, so that the main amount of flushing water that hits the housing as a whole, also passed through the first chamber becomes.
  • the first chamber may extend from the central region also in areas further away from the middle region, for example those (end) regions which serve for additional fragrance delivery, while the actual retention of the composition or the mixture in the first chamber takes place in the middle region.
  • the active ingredient delivery device comprises a third chamber (possibly even further additional chambers), which is preferably constructed identically to the second chamber.
  • a third chamber possibly even further additional chambers
  • the third compartment may also contain a gelled perfume, for example the same gelled perfume as the second compartment.
  • the division into a second and a third chamber essentially serves aesthetic purposes, as it ultimately equals a division of the second chamber into two smaller chambers.
  • the third chamber includes a filling that is different from the contents of the first and second chambers.
  • This may, for example, once again be a composition or a mixture which is to be rinsed into the toilet bowl via the rinsing water, or a (jellied) perfume.
  • a Perfume filling the second and the third chamber so different perfumes are kept in the second and third chamber, resulting in an optimized fragrance mixing effect.
  • a heavier-evaporating perfume may be disposed in the third chamber while a lighter-evaporating perfume is disposed in the second chamber.
  • Such a combination can serve to increase the lifetime of the drug delivery device or to effect further differentiation of the basic delivery amount over the lifetime of the drug delivery device.
  • a particular geometric configuration of the drug delivery device with a second and a third chamber is that the second and the third chamber are arranged on wings, which are located on two opposite end portions of the housing, preferably along a transverse direction to a hanging direction defined by the suspension are spaced apart.
  • the second and the third chamber are thus located on either side of a middle region of the active substance delivery device or of the housing, so that the widest and most differentiated delivery of (fragrance) substances results.
  • the first chamber liquefied active ingredient in the rinse water
  • volatile perfume to the outside air
  • the third chamber optionally liquefied active ingredient and / or volatile perfume.
  • the spatial arrangement of the second and third chambers on wings thus means that the delivery of different substances can be differentiated, wherein the spacing of the second and third chambers by arrangement in the different wings of the drug delivery device can serve a better distribution of the different substances.
  • the dimensioning of the delivery surface (s) of the gelled perfume or of the gelled perfumes can serve. It generally applies that the larger the (added) delivery surface, the more perfume can be released to the ambient air. Therefore, it is preferred that the total area of the delivery surface (s) of the gelled perfume (s) is at least 300 mm 2 , preferably at least 500 mm 2 , more preferably at least 800 mm 2 in size. Such an area ensures a sufficient release of perfume the ambient air; The upper limit for the area of the delivery surface (s) may preferably be set at 10,000 mm 2 .
  • the square root of the amount of the delivery surface of the gelled perfume or the gelled perfumes has a ratio to a depth of the gelled perfume within the second and / or third chamber of at least 1.5: 1, preferably at least 2: 1, more preferably at least 2.5: 1. So there is a relatively low depth compared to the delivery surface (s) before.
  • the upper limit of this ratio is preferably a ratio of 20: 1, particularly preferably 10: 1, in order to ensure that even with larger delivery surfaces there is still a sufficient depth of the gelled perfume in the respective chambers.
  • the depth of the gelled perfume is preferably at least 3 mm, more preferably at least 5 mm, regardless of the size of the respective delivery surfaces. This ensures, in particular, a sustainable scenting of the ambient air, since a sufficient amount of perfume substances can be provided via the depth of the respective gelled perfume.
  • first and the second chamber (just like the rest of the first and the third chamber and the second and the third chamber), since both are in the way of the rinse water.
  • the second chamber is positioned upstream in the rinse water stream and the second chamber thereof downstream, so that the moistening effect in the second chamber is such that no compositions from the first chamber onto the delivery surface of the gelled Perfumes arrive in the second chamber.
  • an arrangement of the third chamber with a gelled perfume in relation to the first chamber should be understood.
  • first chamber and the second chamber and correspondingly the first and the third chamber, preferably also the second and the third chamber
  • the gelled perfume can be protected in a particularly effective manner from the composition or the mixture from the first chamber.
  • First and second (or third) chamber are therefore washed separately from each other by different areas of the rinse water.
  • the overflushing of the second chamber by the rinsing water of the toilet bowl can in principle be realized purely on the basis of geometric arrangements or the overall design of the active substance delivery device. It has proven to be a particularly expedient and therefore effective type if the second chamber comprises at least one inlet recess, which is designed so that the rinsing water is passed through the inlet recess when the active substance dispensing device is suspended as intended.
  • an inlet recess can thus be understood as a kind of feed channel to the delivery surface of the gelled perfume and be arranged, for example, within an edge (or a wall) of the second chamber. It directs the rinse water in the direction of the delivery surface, whereby a corresponding dosing effect can be achieved.
  • the second chamber is at least partially in the way of flushing a flushing toilet bowl when intended suspension of the drug delivery device that the delivery surface of the gelled perfume (in the second chamber) is flushed at least partially in a flushing.
  • the drug delivery device is thus formed in its geometry and / or the arrangement of the second chamber so that the overflushing of the second chamber at least works in Tiefticianern.
  • the composition listed under a) or the mixture listed under a) is present in the form of a tablet.
  • This tablet preferably comprises a detergent compartment with a detergent composition and a chlorine compartment separated from the detergent compartment with a chlorine component, at least one or a portion of a surface of the chlorine compartment being uncovered by the detergent composition prior to its intended use.
  • the provision of compositions or mixtures in tablet form means that the first Chamber particularly easy filled and can also be refilled.
  • the manufacturer is an exact fine dosing of various ingredients possible, for example, the chlorine components and the cleaner composition.
  • the (cleaner) tablet may be a two- or more-phase tablet, preferably in the form of a detergent compartment with an integrated chlorine compartment or vice versa.
  • Two-phase or multi-phase means that at least two phases, solid-solid, solid-liquid, solid-gel-like are present. Each phase can form its own compartment, such as its own tablet or a separate part of a tablet. If a gel-like or liquid phase is present, then these are usually housed in a solid envelope, for example a plastic envelope or a coating, which, for example, only dissolves or becomes permeable to the respective component upon contact with water.
  • both the detergent compartment and the chlorine compartment are solid phases. This can also be achieved, for example, by applying a solution to a solid phase.
  • An example of such a separate embodiment is a so-called tab-in-tab variant, in which the chlorine component is made available in a, often smaller, chlorine compartment or a chlorine tablet and then integrated into a detergent compartment or detergent tablet.
  • an embodiment with reverse construction for.
  • a chlorine compartment with integrated detergent compartment possible. Since, however, the amount of the chlorine component is generally less than the amount of the cleaner component, in most cases the first variant with a chlorine compartment at least partially surrounded by the cleaner mass is preferred. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, this variant is assumed below, this also including the reverse arrangement, unless otherwise stated.
  • the individual components are therefore present in separate compartments.
  • Such separate compartments can be carried out, for example, in so-called combination products in which the components for the detergent compartment and a chlorine compartment integrated therein are first separately mixed and pressed or alternatively extruded and only then combined with one another. This reduces the risk of intimate contact of the chlorine component with the cleaner composition, since then z. B. is present only at the low in relation to the total volume interface between the chlorine compartment and detergent compartment contact. This alone can improve the stability of the components sensitive to chlorine-containing compounds in the detergent tablet be achieved. It is also conceivable to extrude the detergent composition and / or a barrier layer and / or the chlorine component together by means of a coextrusion process.
  • the cleanser composition comprises at least one surfactant-containing cleaning agent and preferably a surfactant mixture having a surface-active effect in order to dissolve and remove as far as possible the deposits and soiling in the toilet bowl during each flushing process.
  • the cleaner composition is designed so that it dissolves in ordinary use only over a period of several days to several weeks.
  • the chlorine component may be any chlorine-containing reagent which has a cleaning action-promoting action with water, namely, primarily, a disinfecting and bleaching effect due to the release of chlorine-containing compounds. Released chlorinated compounds having such an effect may be, for example, free chlorine, but also hypochlorites.
  • the chlorine component is preferably selected to be stable under normal ambient conditions, i. H. in a dry or slightly humid environment, is largely stable, so that no or only small amounts of free chlorine or hypochlorite are released under these conditions.
  • the tablet is arranged in the first chamber, that they with the surface of the chlorine compartment uncovered by the cleaner composition and / or a barrier layer adjacent to the detergent composition in the direction of a full-surface wall of the first chamber points.
  • a wall is particularly preferred with respect to the inlet opening of the first chamber, and the arrangement of the chlorine compartment with its soluble, ie unprotected side on just this wall causes the chlorine component is protected from too rapid release.
  • the arrangement of the chlorine compartment on the wall thus serves to protect the chlorine compartment against too much flushing with rinse water and thus ultimately the slower, ie more controlled release of the chlorine component in the rinse water.
  • the detergent compartment and the chlorine compartment are at least partially separated by a barrier layer, and at least one or a part of the surface of the chlorine compartment is uncovered by the cleaner composition and the barrier layer before the intended use.
  • At least one or a part of a surface of the chlorine compartment is preferably neither directly nor indirectly covered by the cleaner composition nor by the barrier layer before the intended use.
  • Partially separated at least in part by a barrier layer means that the detergent compartment and the chlorine compartment are mechanically, in particular partially or completely, in communication via the barrier layer, which is largely stable under the respective conditions of use, so that the detergent tablet is present with defined proportions.
  • the barrier layer has the function that at least the major part of the cleaner composition is not in direct contact with the chlorine component during storage and secondly during use. The advantage of this is that components that are unstable to chlorine-containing reagents, such as most surfactants, dyes, fragrances, etc., are protected from degradation or fading upon storage and for extended periods of time during normal use or use become.
  • the barrier layer may be formed from a material and / or in a thickness such that it dissolves more slowly during the intended use, in particular in contact with water, than the detergent compartment and the chlorine compartment. It can thereby be achieved that the barrier layer is largely stable and decomposition of the chlorine-unstable ingredients into the detergent compartment is largely avoided.
