Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a toilet basket for holding solid or gel-like preparations.
  • Active ingredient preparations of this type are used which, on the one hand, can be formed into dimensionally stable, non-deliquescent blocks and, on the other hand, have sufficient solubility so that a sufficient amount of active ingredients is released into the water during the short rinsing phase. It is also important that the active ingredient block remains unchanged after the rinsing process, with the exception of a fragrance release.
  • the preparation contains anionic and nonionic surfactants, perfume, cellulose powder, rinsing regulators, inorganic salts, complexing agents, acids that dissolve limescale, antimicrobial agents, plasticizers and other common additives.
  • the known toilet baskets for holding lumpy toilet cleaning blocks cannot usually be used for pastes or liquids.
  • the paste or liquid should not automatically flow or drip out of the basket after the flushing process has ended.
  • only a defined fraction of the liquid or paste should be dispensed with each flushing process. This released fraction of the active ingredient preparation should be the same as possible in each rinsing process.
  • Such toilet baskets for pasty or liquid preparations are made, for example DE19520145A1 or off EP1334239B1 known.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages mentioned and to provide a toilet basket in which the amount of active ingredients and thus the intensity of the cleaning or scenting performance of a toilet basket can be easily influenced by a user.
  • the toilet basket according to the invention for holding solid or gel-like preparations comprises a plurality of containers arranged in a row with respect to the longitudinal center axis M of the toilet basket for holding at least one preparation, the containers being positionable below the toilet rim in such a way that they flushing water can flow over when the toilet is flushed and at least one inlet opening and one outlet opening are formed in the container wall for the flushing water, a holder for attaching the toilet basket to the toilet rim, a flushing water guide element being arranged and configured on the toilet basket in such a way that the Rinsing water guide element acted upon by rinsing water during rinsing and the rinsing water is supplied to the inlet opening of the container, the inlet openings being asymmetrical with respect to the vertical axis V of the container and at an angle of incidence ⁇ to the longitudinal center axis M of 1 ° -60 °, preferably 5 ° -45 ° , in particular preferably 10 ° -30 ° are
  • a container is understood to mean a packaging means which is suitable for at least partially enveloping and / or holding together a solid, liquid or gel-like preparation.
  • the toilet basket according to the invention consists of a plurality of containers, these being arranged next to one another, in series with one another
  • more than one container is provided on the toilet basket to hold a preparation or preparations that differ from one another.
  • preparations that are not stable to one another can in particular be stored spatially separated from one another.
  • the plurality of containers can be integrally connected to one another.
  • the containers can be formed in one piece, for example in an injection molding process, and there is no need to subsequently join individual containers together.
  • the material bridge serves as a hinge around which the half-shells can be tilted and joined to form one or a plurality of containers.
  • the containers can be connected to one another via a web that does not carry water.
  • dimensionally stable containers can be formed which provide sufficient mechanical protection for the preparations stored in them, with the webs being able to form an elastic connection between the containers so that the toilet basket follows the contour of the toilet bowl when inserted.
  • the container is designed so that rinsing water can flow through it, ie it has at least one inlet opening for the entry of rinsing water into the container and at least one outlet opening for the exit of rinsing water loaded with preparation from the container.
  • the inlet openings of the containers are outside the flow of flushing water. I.e. that without the use of the flushing water guide element, no or at least only a very small amount of flushing water enters the container through the inlet openings.
  • Solid preparations which are also commonly referred to as toilet blocks, are mainly produced as pressed moldings, as extrudates or by means of casting processes. It is also conceivable to form such shaped bodies at least partially from a gel-like or liquid phase.
  • the core of a toilet block can consist of a gel that is deposited in a cavity of the toilet block, e.g. is fixed by gluing.
  • toilet blocks today have a cylindrical or bar-like shape.
  • the solid preparations can therefore have a spherical or cylindrical shape.
  • Preparations for a toilet basket according to the invention usually contain substances such as e.g. Cleaning substances, enzymes, perfume oils, dyes, surfactants or foaming agents.
  • these can be natural perfume oils, dyes and surfactants.
  • the preparation preferably has a surfactant content of 2-50% by weight and / or a perfume oil content of 1-20% by weight and / or a dye content of 0.5-20% by weight.
  • the preparation comprises at least one enzyme in a concentration of 0.1 to 10% by weight.
  • a toilet block comprises at least one first water-soluble base body and at least one outer, water-soluble layer which at least partially covers the base body. It is very particularly preferred if the outer layer has different optical properties from the base body, such as color and / or gloss. This makes it possible to provide the user with an indicator function which, after a few flushes, shows how evenly the respective toilet blocks in the toilet basket are overflowing and exposed to water, in order to be able to position the toilet flush in the toilet bowl.
  • the outer layer of the toilet block preferably has a thickness between 10-1,000 ⁇ m, particularly preferably 20-500 ⁇ m, very particularly preferably 50-150 ⁇ m.
  • the layer preferably completely encloses the base body.
  • Preferred toilet blocks are further characterized in that the base body is a granulate and / or an extrudate and / or a pellet and / or a prill and / or a melt-cast molded body and / or a tablet.
  • the toilet basket according to the invention comprises a holder for fastening the toilet basket to the edge of the toilet bowl.
  • Such holders are usually designed as a rod-shaped element with two loops, so that the holder with the toilet basket can be clamped on the edge of the toilet by the spring action of the loops.
  • the holder comprises at least one spring element which, when the toilet freshener is installed in the toilet, has an essentially vertical or horizontal spring travel. Furthermore, it is very particularly preferred that the holder has at least two spring elements, with one spring element having an essentially vertical spring deflection and one spring element having an essentially horizontal spring deflection when the toilet freshener is installed in the toilet.
  • the spring travel provided enables an improved and more flexible fixation of the toilet basket on toilets with different pool rim thicknesses and configurations.
  • the spring element can be designed in a diamond shape.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the toilet basket 1 according to the invention in the state suspended in the toilet bowl 9, the toilet basket 1 being releasably fixed on the toilet bowl 9 by means of the holder 2.
  • the toilet basket 1 consists of four containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d arranged in a row, which are cylindrical and which each store a solid toilet cleaning composition 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
  • the outlet openings 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are arranged.
  • the toilet basket 1 is configured in such a way that the flushing water guide element 8 (not visible) is arranged below the toilet rim 10 when it is suspended in the toilet bowl 9.
  • Fig. 2 shows that Fig. 1 known toilet basket 1 in a perspective view directed towards the toilet bowl when it is suspended in the toilet 9.
  • the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are cylindrical, their axis of rotation being perpendicular to the vertical axis V.
  • the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are arranged in a line next to one another.
  • the flushing water guide element 8 is arranged approximately horizontally in the center over the entire length of the toilet basket 1.
  • the flushing water guide element 8 is designed in the manner of a plate.
  • Inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d for flushing water are provided in the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d above the flushing water guide element 8, which is supplied to the inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d through the flushing water guide element 8.
  • the inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the vertical axis V on the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. Furthermore, the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d with the respective inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are at an angle of incidence ⁇ to the longitudinal center axis M of 1 ° -60 °, preferably 5 ° -45 °, particularly preferably 10 ° -30 ° arranged.
  • the inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are slot-shaped, parallel to the flushing water guide element 8.
  • flushing water which is usually flushed into the toilet bowl with a directed swirl, meets the toilet freshener 1 with a flow directional component that runs parallel to the flushing water guide element 8 Fig. 2 this is indicated by the arrow.
  • FIG. 3 shows two different fixing positions of the toilet basket 1 according to the invention in a toilet bowl 9, which are typically selected by the user for fixing the toilet basket 1 on the toilet bowl 9.
  • the adjustment of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d and the asymmetrical design of the inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d lead to the flushing water flow directly to the inlet openings 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, which means that comparatively large amounts of flushing water are fed into the Toilet basket can enter.
  • the toilet basket according to the invention enables the user to control the degree of product release from the toilet freshener.
