  • Each insert compartment 60 has dimensions that are slightly larger than the diameter of the spherical pieces of detergent-active substance, so that exactly one piece of detergent-active substance fits into each insert compartment 60 . The pieces of detergent substance are stored in the insert cavity 63 .
  • the insert cavity 63 is bounded by a slightly curved insert end face 64 and by an insert cavity wall 65, which is tapered, so that an inclined surface 66 adjoins the insert end face 64, which causes the spherical pieces of the washing-active Roll the substance towards the inlet opening 61 due to gravity.
  • Latch means 67 are provided in the housing 51, with latching lugs 69 being distributed over the circumference of the insert 53 on the lateral surface 68 of the insert 53, and grooves 70 distributed over the circumference being arranged on the inside of the housing jacket 57, into which the Latches 69 intervene when latched.
  • the housing cover 54 When the open dispenser device 50 is closed, for example after it has been filled with a supply or a container of pieces of the washing-active substance, the housing cover 54 is pushed onto the housing jacket 57 . At least one sealing element 71 is provided between the housing cover 54 and the insert 53, so that the housing cover 54 seals off the interior of the housing 51 from the outside.
  • the housing cover 54 has the geometry of an annulus with a recess 72 in the center of the cover 54.
  • FIG the insert face 64 When assembled, FIG the insert face 64 is arranged in or on the recess 72 of the cover 54 .
  • the insert 53 is formed of a transparent or nearly transparent plastic, the insert face 64 forms a window 73 in the housing 51, allowing the interior of the insert cavity 63 to be viewed from the outside.
  • a user can see through the window 73 whether the dispenser 50 still contains pieces of the detergent substance, in particular how many pieces of the active detergent substance are contained in the dispenser 50 . If the supply of pieces of the washing-active substance is used up after several donation processes, the user recognizes this through the window 73 and can procure a new pack of pieces of the washing-active substance to fill the dispenser 50 .
  • connecting means in the form of a collar 74 which engage in a suitable recess or groove in the cover 54 . This results in a non-rotatable connection between the insert 53 and the cover 54.
  • the insert 53 can thus be rotated relative to the stationary housing 51, 52 by rotating the cover 54.
  • the function of the donor device 50 or the donation method is based on the Figures 4A to 4D explained.
  • a top view of a sectional plane running parallel to the wall surface 55 through the dispensing device 50 according to FIG 3 can he Figure 4A be removed.
  • the insert 53 is rotatably disposed in the housing body 52 with the housing body 52 being mounted or fixed in place, and the insert 53 is rotatable in the fixed housing body 52 about the central axis 75 .
  • the pieces of detergent substance to be donated (not shown in the Figures 3 to 5C ) are stored in the insert cavity 63, and during a dispensing process exactly one piece of the washing-active substance passes through the dispenser opening 58 into the vicinity of the dispenser 50.
  • 10 compartments 60 are arranged on the circumference. In other variants, fewer or more compartments can be provided. Two of the ten compartments 60 as shown in the figures have the inlet openings 61 sealed inwards with the curved sealing means 59 statically attached to the wall surface 55 so that moisture from the dispenser environment, such as water vapor or splashing water from showering/bathing, can not penetrate into the use of cavity 63. As a result, the pieces of the washing-active substance stored in the insert cavity 63 have a longer shelf life and do not stick or clump together.
  • FIG Figure 4B A side view of the dispensing device 50 is shown in FIG Figure 4B shown.
  • the dispenser opening 58 is arranged in the lower region of the housing jacket 57, through which exactly one piece of the washing-active substance leaves the housing 51 per dispensing process.
  • the cover 54 covers the front in sections and a part of the housing jacket 57.
  • Figure 4C 12 shows the back of the housing 51, in particular the fastening means 56 with which the dispenser 50 can be fastened to a wall or to a shower stall.
  • the fastening means 56 comprises a fastening rail with a taper. The rail sits in a rail guide on the outside of panel 55.
  • FIG. 4D A side sectional view of the dispenser variant according to the Figures 3 to 5C is in Figure 4D shown.
  • the cover 54 comprises two sealing elements 71, the first sealing element 71 being formed as a sealing edge which engages in a sealing groove on the circumference of the front face 64 of the insert.
  • a labyrinth seal 77 is provided in the folded area 76 of the cover 54 and engages in corresponding recesses of the insert jacket 68 and the housing jacket 57 in a form-fitting or almost form-fitting manner. Because the cover 54 is formed from an elastic material, the cover 54 sits on the insert 53 with a slight mechanical tension, which promotes the sealing effect between the insert 53 and the cover 54. Some play is provided between the cover 54 and the housing shell 57 so that the insert 53 with the cover 54 can be easily rotated in the housing body 51 .
  • a top view of insert 53 is in Figure 5A shown.
  • the cover 54 can be connected to the insert 53 with the collars 74 in the manner of a bayonet, which leads to a tight fit of the cover 54 on the insert 53 which promotes the sealing effect of the sealing elements 71 .
  • the Figure 5B shows a side view of the insert 53 according to FIG Figure 5A .
  • the radially inner sealing element 71 engages in the sealing groove 78 in the area of the circumference of the insert face 64.
  • the insert 53 has five detents 69 on the circumference.
  • the pieces of washing-active substance are designed in such a way that they are sufficient for one washing process. Therefore, only one dispensing process is required per wash process.
  • the pieces of the detergent substance can be refilled at any time, for example with a counted container of pieces of the detergent substance matched to the volume of the dispenser, it being possible for the container to be packed in cardboard or paper.
  • a plastic packaging for the container is not required, which is useful and efficient from an ecological point of view. Unlike plastic packaging, for example liquid soap, the paper or cardboard packaging of the container can be biologically degraded.
  • a further ecological advantage of the dispenser concept described here is that the pieces of washing-active substance are used up without leaving any residue. No residues of the washing-active substance remain in the dispenser 50 even after a comparatively large number of dispensing processes. This is also useful and efficient from an ecological point of view.
