Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a hygienic device for sanitary appliances.
  • the known hygienic devices can be divided into the so-called “solid tablets”, comprising a detergent and/or deodorant means in the solid state, and in the so-called “liquid tablets”, comprising a detergent and/or deodorant means for WC in the liquid state dispensed through a bottle.
  • the first type of hygienic devices for WCs usually comprises a perforated dispenser, referred to as "cage”, provided with a hook for engaging to the edge of the toilet bowl and containing the detergent and/or deodorant means therein in form of a solid block, also referred to as "soap bar”.
  • a perforated dispenser referred to as "cage”
  • a hook for engaging to the edge of the toilet bowl and containing the detergent and/or deodorant means therein in form of a solid block, also referred to as "soap bar”.
  • the detergent and/or deodorant means in the solid state is generally manufactured through an extrusion process.
  • the water that directly impacts the cage dispenser element dissolves and washes out a small amount of the detergent and/or deodorant product from the solid block contained in the cage.
  • the cage devices when applied in the WC, are cumbersome and with an aesthetic appearance that can be deemed as unappealing.
  • WC hygienic devices were developed having the solid detergent and/or perfuming means hung on the perimeter edge using a structure less cumbersome than the cage.
  • the application n° WO 2007/107750 A1 shows a solid detergent means in which a plate arranged at the end of the hook is directly embedded for hanging to the peripheral edge of the WC.
  • the solid detergent means substantially has the entire outer surface exposed to the flushed water, the plate being inside the solid block itself.
  • the main drawback of such device lies in the very irregular consumption of the detergent and/or perfuming means, which acquires an unpleasant appearance even after a relatively low number of flushes of discharge water.
  • a further drawback regards the production process which requires providing a special step having the formation of a groove in the solid block so as to allow the insertion of the plate.
  • a hygienic device for WC comprising a solid detergent and/or perfuming means
  • EP 2270286 A1 Another example of a hygienic device for WC comprising a solid detergent and/or perfuming means is known from the patent application EP 2270286 A1 , which teaches how to centrally provide the solid block with a through hole in which a crosspiece is inserted provided at an end of the hook for hanging to the peripheral edge of the WC.
  • a further example consists of the hygienic device shown in the international patent application n° WO 2011/141720 A1 , in which the solid block is fitted on one or more pins projecting from an end portion of the hook for hanging on the peripheral edge of the WC.
  • a first drawback regards the increasing risk that the solid detergent and/or deodorant block may break during the consumption thereof.
  • the pins In the case where the end portion of the hook instead faces towards the wall of the WC, the pins must have a considerable length, so as to prevent them, during consumption from no longer adhering to the solid block thus causing the same to fall. In this manner the pins may however be visible from the front part during the consumption of the block and this event is unwanted.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic device for sanitary appliances capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic device for sanitary appliances capable of being consumed regularly and capable of remaining hanged on the hook for the longest possible consumption time.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic device for sanitary appliances that is particularly simple and functional, with low costs.
  • a hygienic device for sanitary appliances comprising a detergent and/or deodorant means in form of a solid block 20 and means 30 for hooking to a peripheral edge of a WC.
  • the hooking means 30 comprise a first engagement portion 31 to the WC and a second engagement portion 32 to the solid block 20.
  • the first portion 31 for the engagement to the WC consists of a flexible hook suitable for the engagement around the edge of the WC.
  • Such element may have variable shapes and dimensions.
  • the second engagement portion 32 with the solid block 20 comprises a flat surface 33 facing frontwards, i.e. towards the inner part of the WC, and a centring collar 34 arranged at an intermediate position between the second engagement portion 32 to the solid block 20 and the flexible hook 31.
  • the solid block 20 may be obtained through any of the known technologies, for example through extrusion or co-extrusion and the subsequent moulding or by casting.
  • the solid block 20 comprises at least one rear flat surface 21 for abutting against the flat surface 33 of the hooking means 30.
  • the rear flat surface 21 for the engagement with the hooking means 30, has a smaller flat dimension with respect to the rear outer surface 23 of the solid block 20.
  • the rear flat surface 21 of the solid block 20 is arranged in a recessed position in the thickness X of the solid block 20, i.e. it constitutes the bottom of a cavity 22 obtained with respect to a rear outer surface 23 of the solid block 20.
  • the depth of the cavity 22 is equivalent to about half the thickness X.
  • the rear flat surface 21 of the solid block comprises a circular part arranged substantially centred with respect to the solid block 20 and a portion for the connection with the outer perimeter.
  • the flat surface 32 of the hooking means 30 has a complementary shape with respect to the rear flat surface 21 of the solid block 20, also comprising a circular part and a connection portion, so that the second portion 32 for the engagement with the solid block 20 of the hooking means 30 is received in the cavity 22.
  • the rear flat surface 21 shall be equivalent to 30-70% of the rear outer surface 23 of the solid block 20, preferably between 40% and 50%.
  • the cavity 22 may have a depth X that is smaller and substantially equivalent to the thickness of the second portion 32 for the engagement with the solid block 20, so that it is flushed with the rear outer surface 23 of the solid block, but not projecting therefrom, when the device 10 is assembled for the very first time.
  • the rear flat surface 21 for coupling with the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30 could be part of the rear surface 23 of the solid block 20, obtained as flat in this case.
  • the second engagement portion 32 with the solid block 20 of the hooking means 30 is in this case arranged at a projecting position with respect to the thickness X of the solid block 20.
  • the rear flat surface 21 may be reduced to the minimum at 5% of the rear outer surface 23 of the solid block 20.
  • the rear flat surface 21 could also be equivalent to 100% of the rear outer surface 23 of the solid block 20.
  • the flat surface 33 of the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30 may at most even project with respect to the solid block.
  • the gluing material 40 is arranged at the interface between the rear flat surface 21 of the solid block 20 and the flat surface 33 of the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30, as schematically shown in figure 5 .
  • the gluing material used has a chemical composition compatible with the tablet being exposed to the flushes of discharge water, i.e. the chemical composition is such to keep the rear flat surface 21 of the solid block 20 and the flat surface 33 of the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30 joined during the use of the device.
  • the aforementioned gluing material is capable of maintaining the aforementioned surfaces joined for at least 150 flushes of discharge water.
  • gluing materials that can be used are glues based on cyanoacrylate compounds (cyanoacrylic glues).
  • the cyanoacrylic glues are single reactive component adhesives which comprise at least one polymer comprising repetitive units selected, for example, from alkyl or alkoxyalkyl esters of the ⁇ -cyanoacrylic acid where:
  • alkyl or alkoxyalkyl groups examples are: methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, allyl and methoxyethyl.
  • the cianoacrylic glues harden very fast, at room temperature, following the polymerisation reaction of the aforementioned monomers, which can be triggered by the moisture present in the environment and/or on the surface of the tablet.
  • gluing materials that can be used for the purposes of the present invention are the hot melt glues.
  • These glues comprise polymers in solid form at temperatures generally lower than 80°C.
  • the polymers for example, may be in form of blocks, bars or granulates.
  • the solid polymer is heated, for example through a hot gun, at a temperature higher than the melting temperature thereof (generally comprised between 120 - 220°C) and then applied in fluid state to the surfaces to be coupled. Upon cooling, the formation of the adhesive joint between the coupled surfaces occurs.
  • the hot melt glues may comprise polymers of different nature.
  • the hot melt glues may comprise at least one amorphous polyolefin polymer selected from among: atactic polypropylene, propyleneethylene copolymer, propylene-butene copolymer and propylene-hexene copolymer.
  • the hot melt glues may also comprise at least one polymer selected from: ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers, possibly added with elastomers, polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes.
  • EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate
  • the gluing material to be used is also selected depending on the chemical composition of the detergent tablet.
  • the type of components present in the tablet for example, the type of surfactant or filler used), actually, may affect the adhesion force of the adhesive joint.
  • the aforementioned gluing materials may be applied to one or both surfaces of the device to be adhered by using the devices of the prior art.
  • the solid block 20 After performing the coupling between the solid block 20 and the hooking means 30 so as to have the solid block 20 in abutment against the centring collar 34, the solid block 20 is thus stably held on the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30.
  • the second portion 32 for the engagement to the solid block 20 of the hooking means 30 is contained in the cavity 22, there will be a greater thickness of material bound to be consumed before the beginning of the consumption of the solid block 20 also in the part covered by the hooking means.
  • the progressive consumption of the solid block 20 actually the progressive infiltration of water at the interface between the solid block 20 and the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30 occurs.
  • This phenomenon causes an erosion of the flat surface 21 of the solid block 20 and thus a reduction of the surface of adhesion with the flat surface 33 of the second engagement portion 32 of the hooking means 30.
  • the solid block 20 has a reduced weight, which may however be held up, thus extending the service life of the product.
  • the hygienic device for sanitary appliances subject of the present invention has the advantage of maintaining the integrity of the solid block as long as possible so as to avoid the breaking thereof.
  • a further advantage lies in the production simplicity.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that the second engagement portion with the solid block is kept concealed during the entire service life of the product.
  • the hygienic device for sanitary appliances thus conceived can be subjected to many modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the invention; in addition, all details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
  • the used materials, as well as the dimensions, may vary according to the technical requirements.
