Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing a toilet rim-block product, especially for dispensing a unit dose of a hygiene composition towards the end of every flush cycle to provide post-flush hygiene.
- rim block products either contain a large solid tablet or a gel enclosed in a cage-like dispenser. When the toilet is flushed, a portion of the flush water enters the dispenser and dissolves a part of the tablet or the gel to deliver it as a hygiene product or disinfectant into the toilet bowl.
- Such dispensers are usually suspended within the toilet bowl by a hook or any other equivalent means. Here they contact the flush water and infuse the water standing in the bowl with a dissolved hygiene product after flush. .
- hygiene products are deodorants, disinfectants or bleach.
- a dye or a colorant is included in the product to produce a pleasing effect.
- Such devices generally work on the principle of pre-contact of a part of the flush water with the rim-block hygiene product.
- the product In conventional dispensers, the product is generally held within a cage supported under the rim of the toilet which exposes the product to flush water as it flows from the cistern to the bowl.
- a cage supports under the rim of the toilet which exposes the product to flush water as it flows from the cistern to the bowl.
- a cage allows the product to be dissolved throughout the flush and therefore leads to significant wastage of the product with each flush.
- US4777670B1 (SC Johnson, 1988) discloses a dispenser in which there is a tablet of hygiene product inside the cage. Flowing water is admitted and later released in such a way that a part of the tablet dissolves in the admitted portion of flush water and this water is retained till the end of the flush. Thereafter, the solution containing leachate of the product is dosed inside the toilet bowl. Therefore, even though the device provides post-flush hygiene to some extent, there is still a pre-contact of water with the product. As the hygiene product dissolves/leaches each and every time, the size and surface area of the product reduces which leads to reduction in the dosage in subsequent flushes.
- US2006/0053538 A1 discloses a different mechanism but also relying on pre- contact of the active product with flush water.
- This is a two-compartment device in which one compartment serves as a reservoir of the leachate.
- WO 2004/010833 A2 discloses method for cleaning and/or freshening a toilet bowl, by flushing the toilet bowl with flushing water and at the end of the flushing adding a cleaning agent to the flushing water from a container. Before the flushing a dosage of cleaning agent may be transferred from the container to a dosing element, and during flushing this dosing element may be brought into contact with the flushing water. A part of the cleaning agent may remain in contact with the ambient air between successive flushes.
- WO 03/104086 A2 discloses a dispensing device adapted to dispense a predetermined amount of cleaning agent into a toilet tank.
- the dispensing device comprises a container, which is positioned externally of the toilet tank.
- the container is fluidically connected to an inner dosing mechanism that is governed by movements of a float that floats on the water in the toilet tank. The float moves between an upper most position in which the container is fluidically connected to a dozer, and a lower position in which the dozer is fluidically connected to the toilet tank.
- the container can be disposable. There are other mechanisms discussed at length in several publications. Some patents disclose the dispensing of tablets inside the flush tank, also known as cistern.
- a dispenser in accordance with claim 1 In accordance with a first aspect is disclosed a dispenser in accordance with claim 1.
- the Dispenser :
- the disclosed dispenser is attachable to the rim of a toilet bowl.
- This attachment could be any known means such as by way of a hanger or a hook or by use of a suitable adhesive or any other equivalent means. It is preferred that the attachment is not permanent. This will facilitate periodic removal of the device so that a user may replenish the unit doses with fresh supplies.
- the material chosen for the attachment will be selected to provide sufficient strength, flexibility and resilience to accommodate this function.
- the dispenser needs to be disposed below the top of the rim of the toilet, and partially underneath the lower edge of the rim such that a portion of flush water enters the lower compartment.
- the dispenser is meant for periodically dispensing a unit dose of a hygiene
- the hygiene composition may be a disinfectant, an air freshener, a fizzing agent, a foaming agent or an active antimicrobicial composition or rim-block product.
- the unit dose is a tablet, or pill or capsule. It is further preferred that each tablet, pill or capsule is spherical having diameter of 3.5 mm to 5.0 mm. However, the tablet, or other unit dose, may of any shape, regular or irregular and of any preferred size which is suitable to be called a unit dose.
- the capsules for example, may also contain encapsulated liquid hygiene composition. Depending on the nature of the composition it may also include other ingredients like colour and perfume, binder, enzymes and disintegration-inducing agents.
- the tablet is preferably soluble in water or at least dispersible.
- the device provides a system wherein the composition remains substantially in the water which remains inside the toilet bowl after a flush cycle is over.
- the dispenser has an upper compartment for holding plurality of unit doses of a hygiene composition. It also has a lower compartment having inlet and outlet for a portion of flush water and a float member having a float with at least one lever. There is a conduit forming a channel between upper and lower compartments and an orifice for dispensing a unit dose. When a unit dose, such as a tablet, leaves the orifice, it falls inside the toilet bowl in the post-flush water.
- the inlet and outlet is individually configured to allow water to enter faster than to exit. This may be achieved, for example, by ensuring that the inlet is in the form of a larger hole as compared to the outlet. Alternatively, the inlet may have more holes/openings as compared to the outlet so that the purpose is achieved.
- the inlet is preferably provided with flaps to adapt the device to toilet bowls of varied shapes.
- the lower compartment is provided with an overflow port. Its function is to regulate the quantity of water accumulated in the lower compartment so that there is no excess water which could otherwise enter the conduit.
- the lower compartment has a float member.
- This member has a float and two levers which extend partly inside the conduit.
- the float is movable within the lower compartment from a base position to a raised position and vice versa in response to quantity of water in the lower compartment.
- the float moves to the raised position thereby causing the levers to move further upwards inside the conduit simultaneously admitting therein a unit dose.
- the float moves back to the base position, thereby causing the levers to move downwards to align the unit dose with the orifice. A unit dose is then dispensed inside the toilet bowl.
- the float member has two levers, a first lever longer than a second lever which are spaced apart from each other by an immovable dividing member present therebetween and also extending inside the conduit and wherein the movement of the levers is synchronous.
- both the levers move simultaneously while abutting the height of the dividing member; in other words, along the height of the dividing member.
- the levers preferably has/have additional features to facilitate dispensing of the unit dose.
- the first lever is proximate the upper compartment and the second lever is proximate the orifice of the conduit.
- the float moves from the raised position to the base position. Once the float has moved downwards to the maximum extent, a unit dose gets admitted onto the free end of the first lever which is proximate the upper compartment which holds the units doses.
- the unit dose does not get dispensed into the toilet bowl.
- the float, and the levers gradually also move upwards which raises the unit dose over the dividing member.
- the unit dose now topples over the free end of the first lever and places itself on the free end of the second lever which is proximate the orifice of the conduit.
- the unit dose is not dispensed into the bowl. It gets dispensed subsequently when the float moves down again.
- the free end of the second lever is aligned with respect to the orifice, thereby the unit dose gets easily dispensed into the toilet bowl.
- each lever is sloped in the direction of said orifice. This is to facilitate dispensing. It is preferred that the inlet and outlet are individually configured such that the float moves from raised position to the base position after at least 90% of the lower compartment gets emptied. This will help ensure that the tablet is not dispensed early enough during the flush cycle. It is further preferred that volume of the lower compartment is 20 cm 3 to 100 cm 3 . More preferably it is 30 cm 3 to 80 cm 3 and most preferably 35 cm 3 to 60 cm 3 . It is preferred that the upper compartment is configured to hold 100 to 400 of said unit doses. This will depend on the total size (volume) of the upper compartment and the shape and size of unit doses, such as tablets. Packaged product
- a packaged product having a dispenser attachable to the rim of a toilet bowl for dispensing a unit dose of a hygiene product therein, the dispenser having:
- a float member having a float wherein said float member comprises two levers, a first lever longer than a second lever which are spaced apart from each other by an immovable dividing member present therebetween and also extending inside said conduit and wherein the movement of said levers is synchronous;
- inlet and outlet is individually configured to allow water to enter faster than to exit and where the levers extend partly inside the conduit
- the float is movable within the lower compartment from a base position to a raised position and vice versa in response to quantity of water in the lower compartment, where when the lower compartment is filled, the float moves to the raised position thereby causing the levers to move further upwards inside the conduit simultaneously admitting therein a unit dose, and when the lower compartment gets substantially emptied, the float moves back to the base position, thereby causing the levers to move downwards to align the unit dose with the orifice.
- each unit dose is a tablet, or pill or capsule.
- the packaged product contains a dispenser as already described earlier. It is preferred that each tablet, pill or capsule is spherical having diameter of 3.5 mm to 5.0 mm.
- the unit doses, such as tablets may of any shape, regular or irregular and of any preferred size which is suitable to be called a unit dose.
- a dispenser attachable to the rim of a toilet bowl for dispensing a unit dose of a hygiene product therein;
- a float member having a float wherein said float member comprises two levers, a first lever (209) longer than a second lever (213) which are spaced apart from each other by an immovable dividing member (214) present therebetween and also extending inside said conduit (206) and wherein the movement of said levers (209, 213) is synchronous; and,
- inlet and outlet is individually configured to allow water to enter faster than to exit and where the at least one lever extends partly inside the conduit
- the float is movable within the lower compartment from a base position to a raised position and vice versa in response to quantity of water in the lower compartment, where when the lower compartment is filled, the float moves to the raised position thereby causing the levers to move further upward inside the conduit simultaneously admitting therein a unit dose, and when the lower compartment gets substantially emptied, the float moves back to the base position, thereby causing the levers to move downwards to align the unit dose with the orifice.
- the kit of parts has a dispenser of the first aspect, a pack of plurality of unit doses, such as tablets, and a set of instructions for use of the dispenser.
- the instructions may be provided as back-of-pack information or in the form of a pamphlet included in the pack.
- the dispenser may be made of any suitable material which is fit for the purpose. Such materials include molded polymers, plastics, metals, fiber composite materials and ceramics. Plastic is the preferred material.
- the upper and lower compartments may also be of any shape but preferably are bulbous. In preferred embodiments the dispenser is made of transparent material.
- Fig.1 is a sectional view of a prior art dispenser showing the lower compartment empty.
- Fig.2 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Fig.1 showing the lower compartment filled with water.
- Fig.3 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Fig.1 showing the lower compartment in the emptied state and a unit dose (tablet) being dispensed.
- Fig.4 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of a dispenser according to the invention, showing the lower compartment empty.
- Fig.5 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Fig.4 showing the lower compartment filled with water.
- Fig.6 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Fig.4 showing the lower compartment in the emptied state and a unit dose (tablet) being dispensed.
- Fig.1 is a sectional view of a prior art dispenser showing the lower compartment empty.
- Seen here is a dispenser 100 which is attachable to the rim of a toilet bowl for dispensing a tablet of a hygiene composition therein.
- the mechanism for attaching the dispenser 100 to the rim of the toilet bowl is not shown in this figure.
- the dispenser 100 has an upper compartment 101 for holding multiple tablets (the unit does) of the hygiene composition (all represented by the common numeral 102). All tablets 102 are spherical in shape.
- the dispenser also has a lower compartment 103.
- the lower compartment is provided with an inlet 104 for a portion of the flush water and an outlet 105 for the same. It can be seen how the inlet and outlet is individually configured to allow water to enter faster than to exit. In this embodiment, this has been done by providing a larger inlet 104 and a comparatively smaller outlet 105.
- the conduit has an orifice 107 for dispensing a tablet.
- the lower compartment 103 also has a float member having a float 108 and one (single) lever 109.
- the lever which is like an arm, extends partly inside the conduit 106.
- the float is movable within the lower compartment from a base position, i.e., from the position seen in this Fig.1 , to a raised position (shown elsewhere) and vice versa. This movement is in response to the quantity of water in the lower compartment 103, which is caused by the flow of part of the flush water through the lower compartment 103; in particular, meaning thereby, its entry into and exit out of the lower compartment 103. As indicated earlier, the rate of entry of water is designed to be more than the rate of exit of water.
- the lever 109 has a cavity 1 10 which is meant for receiving one tablet 102 for dispensing.
- the cavity 1 10 is configured to align with the outlet 107 when the float is at base position. This is done by ensuring that the cavity comes in an abutting relationship with the orifice when the float, and thereby the lever, is at base position.
- the lower compartment is provided with an overflow port 1 1 1 .
- Fig.2 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Fig.1 showing the lower compartment filled with water 1 12, it can be seen that, when the lower compartment 103 is filled ⁇ with water ⁇ , the float 108, being buoyant, moves to a raised position. When the float 108 is raised, it causes the lever 109, i.e., the arm, to move further inside the conduit 106. This upward movement of the float and the lever, simultaneous causes a tablet to be admitted inside the conduit. In this embodiment, when the tablet is admitted, it is not dispensed instantaneously because in view of the placement of the lever 109 and its cavity 1 10, the tablet is misaligned with respect to the orifice 107.
- Fig.3 the lower compartment 103 is now substantially emptied so that there is very little water in it. It can be seen that as there is practically no water, the float 108 moves back to the base position (as in Fig.1 ), thereby causing the lever 109 to move downwards. This movement simultaneously causes the tablet 102 to be aligned with the orifice 107. The alignment thereby causes the tablet to be dispensed into the toilet bowl.
- Fig.4 is a sectional view of an embodiment 200 of a dispenser in accordance with the invention showing the lower compartment 203 empty.
- the float member has two levers, a first lever and a second lever (209 and 213 respectively). They are spaced apart by an immovable dividing member 214 which is present there between and also extending into the conduit 206. The movement of the levers is synchronous, i.e., both move at the same time in the same direction.
- the first lever 209 is proximate the upper compartment 201 and said second lever 213 is proximate the orifice 207 of the conduit 206.
- the lower compartment is provided with an overflow port 21 1 .
- the first lever 209 is longer than the second lever 213.
- each lever has a slope in the direction of the orifice 207. This slope facilitates admission and dispensing of the tablet.
- a tablet is admitted into the conduit, and its resting on the free end of the first lever 209. The tablet is prevented from exiting through the orifice 208 because the dividing member 213, against which it rests, prevents the movement.
- Fig.5 it can be seen that the lower compartment 204 is now filled with water 212. Due to upward movement of the float, the levers 209, 213 are raised, which causes the tablet 202 to be conveyed from the free end of the first lever 209 to the second lever 213 and over the dividing member 214. However, as in the case of the previous embodiment, the tablet is misaligned with respect to the orifice 207.
- Fig.6 it can be seen that the lower compartment is in the emptied state.
- the tablet is now aligned with respect to the orifice which allows the tablet to be dispensed into the toilet bowl and simultaneously, a second tablet is admitted into the conduit. However it is not dispensed therefrom unless the entire chain of events is repeated.
- the illustrated examples and the embodiment discloses how the need is met for a dispenser which is attachable to the rim of a toilet bowl for post-flush dispensing of a unit dose, such as a tablet of a hygiene composition by a simple non-contact mechanism which is facilitated by the flow of flush water through the dispenser.
- the disclosed invention solves the problems of state of the art by delivering a tablet of a hygiene product into the toilet bowl towards the end of the flush cycle. Since the tablet is delivered at the end of the flush, there is no wastage of the disinfectant and the concentration of the active is maintained at high level leading to better hygiene benefits.
- the device delivers one tablet after each flush, the dosage remains the same for every flush until the tablets get exhausted.
- the dosing is triggered by the flow of water in the lower compartment.
