Definitions

  • the present invention concerns hygiene devices for toilet bowls for example apparatus for dispensing a toilet hygiene substance into the bowl with each flush.
  • the toilet hygiene substance typically comprises a germicidal and/or cleaning and/or fragrance material.
  • Such apparatus may include toilet cages or "baskets" for holding the toilet hygiene substance in solid form.
  • Other versions may include chambers containing the toilet hygiene substance in liquid form wherein the apparatus dispenses the toilet hygiene substance in liquid form into the bowl with each toilet flush.
  • the support structure supports rotatably, about a rotation axis, at least one rotating element, which interacts with the flow of flushing water in order to mix detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant products introduced in the flushing water and/or adjust the dispensing of detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant products connected to the supporting structure and/or vary the orientation of the flow of lushing water conveyed onto detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant products connected to the support structure.
  • the cages 3a and 3b are comprised of a front portion 13 (shown in Figure 3 ) and a rear portion 15 (shown in Figure 4 ) that include complementary snap lock formations 20a, 20b and 22a, 22b for fastening the front portion 13 and the rear portion 15 together about toilet blocks 2a, 2b. It is preferred that the forward portion 13 and the rear portion 15 in each of the embodiments of the invention are made of a resilient plastic material.
  • spacer 11 comprises part of the rear portion 15 and, as shown in Figure 3 , the attachment clip 5 extends from the forward portion 13.
  • the front portion 13 is formed with an axle 17 that extends between the first cage 3a and the second cage 3b.
  • a rotatable impeller 7 is mounted to the axle for rotation thereon.
  • the water indicated by arrows 44 also passes through openings of cages 3a and 3b so that it partially dissolves the blocks 2a, 2b that are housed within to form a toilet hygiene solution, indicated by arrows 50, that exits from the cages.
  • the liquid dispenser 52 further includes a piercing arrangement for releasing the liquid toilet hygiene substance from the containers.
  • the piercing arrangement comprises tubes 65a and 65b which extend upwardly from a platform 67 that is movable relative to the containers 53a, 53b.
  • a number of sharps 69a, 69b extend upwardly around respective upper openings of the tubes 65a and 65b. Accordingly, upon a user forcing the platform 67 toward the containers 53a, 53b the sharps 69a, 69b pierce the chambers.
  • Snap lock members 82a, 82b retain the platform 67 in place subsequent to piercing of the containers 53a, 53b, as shown in Figure 20 .
  • liquid toilet hygiene substance which is typically considerably more viscous than water, within the chambers 53a, 53b is able to flow (as indicated by arrows 68) through the tubes 65a, 65b and out through respective outlets 70a, 70b into pens 71a, 71b located on platform 67. Flushing of the toilet subsequently causes the liquid toilet hygiene substance to progress from the pens into the toilet bowl.
