DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called on-tank type washing fragrance container for a flush toilet which is loaded with a washing fragrance inside and is used by being placed on a hand-held water storage tank of a flush toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A water tank with hand washing of a flush toilet is
The lid part of the tank is configured as a hand washing part, and the water that has come out of the faucet is once discharged into this hand washing part, and then flows down into the tank through a water hole provided on the bottom of the hand washing part, The on-tank type flush fragrance container for flush toilets is designed to be used by being placed near a water hole in the hand washing section.

[0003] In order to keep this washing fragrance container at a fixed position without being washed away by the water discharged from the faucet, conventionally, the washing fragrance container is fixed to the outside surface of the washing fragrance container so as to be inserted into the water hole of the hand washing section. There have been provided ones provided with a pin or a suction cup attached to the inner wall surface of the hand-washing section. However, there have been disadvantages such as an increase in manufacturing cost and bulkiness. Therefore, the applicant of the present application has previously filed Japanese Patent Application No.
No. 90594 discloses an arrangement in which the cleaning fragrance container itself has a weight that is not pushed away by the flowing water stream. The washing fragrance container is designed to be used just above the water hole in the hand washing section, but a plurality of legs are provided on the bottom of the container so as not to hinder the flow of water into the water hole. Is provided so that there is an appropriate gap through which water can pass between the bottom surface of the container and the inner wall surface near the water hole of the hand washing section.

[0004] However, the amount of water released from the faucet is
Since it usually fluctuates over a fairly wide range, if the amount of water is large, the amount of water flowing out to the water hole to the tank through the gap between the inner wall surface of the hand washing section and the bottom surface of the cleaning air freshener container,
The amount of water supplied from the faucet increases, and water accumulates in the hand washing section, and eventually overflows from the hand washing section. In order to solve this, it is conceivable to raise the legs on the bottom of the container so as to widen the gap between the inner wall surface of the hand washing unit and the bottom of the cleaning air freshener container. The amount of water flowing into the water hole increases, and the problem of overflow is eliminated. On the other hand, if you raise your legs,
As the amount of water flowing down into the tank increases and the water level in the hand washing section drops, the amount of water entering the container is insufficient, the effect of eluting the cleaning fragrance in the container decreases, and the flushing and deodorizing effects of the toilet bowl Is insufficient. Furthermore, since the center of gravity rises when the legs are raised, there is also a problem that when a large amount of water passes through the hand washing section, the container is easily turned over by the water flow and becomes useless.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned various problems at the same time, and it is possible to prevent the hand washing section from overflowing irrespective of fluctuations in the amount of water supplied from a faucet. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning fragrance container capable of ensuring a sufficient flow of water into the cleaning fragrance container and obtaining a good cleaning and deodorizing effect. In addition, the present invention can be used semi-permanently, has no apparent discomfort even when placed on a tank, can always keep a good appearance, the lid can be easily removed, and the refilling of the cleaning fragrance is easy, An object of the present invention is to provide a convenient flushing fragrance container for flush toilets that does not move or overturn by a water flow even if the container is not particularly fixed, and furthermore can expect a stable washing effect over a long period of time. is there.

[0006]

The object of the present invention is to provide a tray,
And a lid to be placed on the tray, containing a solid cleaning fragrance inside, water being introduced into the inside through an inflow hole provided at an appropriate location, and a cleaning fragrance solution eluted in the water being discharged. In the on-tank-type flushing toilet container for flush toilet constructed as described above, a plurality of legs are provided at the bottom of the pan, and near the tip of the leg, an outflow / inflow hole of water communicating with the inside of the pan is formed. The average density of the lid

It is desirable that the water outflow / inflow holes near the tip of the leg be located approximately 1 to 5 mm below the lowest portion of the bottom surface of the saucer.
An opening is formed so as to face the water flow, so that even a small amount of flowing water uses the dynamic pressure to introduce an appropriate amount of water into the container.

[0008] The total average density of the pan and the lid is approximately 1.1 to 6 g.
/ Cm ³ , preferably 1.5 to 4 g / cm ³ . In general, it is desirable that the pan is formed of a low-priced but low-density material, for example, plastic, and the lid is made of a high-density material, for example, ceramics or metal.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a flushing fragrance container for flush toilets according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the container shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a central longitudinal sectional view showing a state in which the fragrance is loaded, FIG. 4 is a top view of the tray with the lid of the container shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 removed, FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the tray, and FIG. It is sectional drawing of a saucer along the BB line. 2 corresponds to a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cleaning fragrance container for flush toilets according to the present invention comprises a saucer 1 and a lid 2 which is detachably fitted to the receiving tray 1. Is to be loaded. The illustrated cleaning air freshener container has a generally bun-shaped outer shape,
The cleaning fragrance 3 is placed on the receiving tray 1, covered with the lid 2, placed on the hand washing portion of the water tank of the flush toilet, and used for mixing the cleaning fragrance into the toilet water.

Inside the tray 1, there are ribs 11a, 11a for holding the solid cleaning fragrance 3 in a columnar shape, ribs 11b, 11b for locking the lid 2, and a rib 11c for forming a water stop weir. Also, ribs 11d, 11d, etc., which form a water channel so that the lower surface of the cleaning fragrance is in sufficient contact with water are formed. However, none of these ribs is an essential component of the present invention, and it is needless to say that these ribs need not be provided. Further, on the wall surface of the tray 1, four water inflow / outflow holes 12a, 12a are formed near the bottom surface, and one large water outflow / inflow hole 12b is formed in the center of the bottom surface.
Thus, these water outflow / inflow holes 12a, 12a and 12b
Again, it is not an essential component. Furthermore, four legs 13, 13 are formed integrally with the tray on the bottom outer wall of the tray. In this embodiment, the air hole 2 is formed in the lid 2.
Although a and 2a are indicated, this is not an essential component. The above-mentioned various ribs and water outflow / inflow holes 12a, 1
Although the components 2a, 12b and the air holes 2a, 2a are not indispensable components, if they are provided as in the present embodiment, they can correspond to tanks of any type and capacity, and function stably regardless of the amount of water. I will be. However, these shapes, numbers and arrangements can be variously changed and implemented.

When water is released from the faucet of the hand-washing section of the tank, the water is drained from these outflow / inflow holes 1 in the pan of the cleaning fragrance container.
2a, 12a, and 12b enter into the receiving tray and come into contact with the surface of the cleaning fragrance 3 to elute the cleaning fragrance, and the solution flows out again through these outlet holes, and is hand-washed together with water from the faucet. It flows down into the tank from the outlet hole at the bottom of the part and is stored in the tank.

When the height of the legs 13, 13 is increased in order to prevent overflow of water from the hand washing section,
Outflow / inlet holes 12a, 12a, and 12b in the wall surface of the receiving tray move away from the surface of the water flowing down along the inner wall surface of the hand washing section,
As described above, the amount of water that enters the receiving pan from these outflow / inflow holes is reduced, and therefore, the elution of the cleaning fragrance is insufficient, and the cleaning effect and the deodorizing effect of the toilet bowl are likely to be insufficient. Therefore, in the present invention, water inflow / outflow holes 13a, 13a are also opened near the respective distal ends of the legs 13, 13, so that the water can flow into the receiving pan from here as well. At this time, to make the introduction of water smooth
The inflow / outflow holes 13a, 13a are formed so as to open in opposition to the water flow (to open toward the upstream direction of the water flow), so that the water level in the container can be raised using the dynamic pressure of the flowing water. It is desirable to configure.

Thus, the outflow / inflow holes 13a near the tip of the leg,
The water that has flowed in from 13a rises along the inside of the leg by the action of the dynamic pressure, reaches the water channel formed by the ribs 11d, 11d, and comes into contact with the lower surface of the cleaning fragrance 3; If the opening positions of the holes 13a, 13a are too low,
The water introduced from here cannot rise to the level of the cleaning fragrance 3 and cannot achieve its purpose. On the other hand, the outflow / inflow hole 13
If the positions of a and 13a are too high, water cannot be sufficiently introduced into the pan. Therefore, the outflow / inflow holes 13a near the tip of the leg are approximately 1 to 5 mm smaller than the bottom of the bottom surface.
It is desirable to arrange so as to be located below. In addition, leg 1
3 and the shape of the outflow / inlet hole 13a, but this is of course not limited to the illustrated one. For example, leg 1
Speaking of No. 3, the reason for providing the container radially from the center of the tray is to make the inner surface of the container a conducting channel toward the center of the tray. It is only necessary that the water can reach the solid cleaning fragrance 3. The legs may have a cylindrical or frusto-conical shape projecting from the bottom surface of the saucer, for example. The water collecting capacity may be enhanced by bending or bending the end face to be bent inward. Further, the shape of the inflow / outflow hole 13a may be a round hole, a vertically long or horizontally long hole, or inside the container. In some cases, a tapered guide channel toward the center of the tray is formed.

In this cleaning fragrance container, air holes 2a, 2a are opened in the lid 2, but water inflow holes are not opened, and water for dissolving the cleaning fragrance 3 is supplied to the receiving pan. The inflow and outflow through the outflow / inflow holes 12a, 12a, 12b of the wall of the first wall and the outflow / inflow holes 13a, 13a of the legs. The amount of water flowing into the container is determined based on the amount of water discharged from the faucet to the hand washing portion of the tank and the like.
Outflow / inlet holes 12a, 12a, 12b of the legs, outflow / inlet holes 13 of the legs
It is properly determined by adjusting the diameter and number of the air holes 2a, 2a of the lid 13a and the lid, and is designed so that water enters the container without excess and shortage, and an appropriate amount of the cleaning fragrance elutes.
The outflow / inflow holes 12a, 12a and the like on the wall surface of the tray 1 are not indispensable, but it is generally recommended to provide about 1 to 10 holes.

In order to cope with the case where the amount of water discharged from the faucet is always large, the gap between the bottom of the tray 1 and the wall surface of the hand washing section of the tank may be increased in accordance with the amount of water. . This can be done by simply lengthening the legs,
For example, the bottom of the saucer 1 is not an inverted dome shape as shown in the figure, but a saddle shape or a wavy curved surface which is convex upward between the legs, and the flow path between the hand washing portion and the wall is partially formed. It is possible to expand. Further, the number of legs for holding the cleaning fragrance container stably is not particularly limited. Although only three bottles are necessary from the standpoint of stability of the container, about four to five bottles are most preferable in order to introduce a sufficient amount of water into the container.

The total average density of the saucer and the lid is preferably in the range of about 1.1 to 6 g / cm ³ so that the washing fragrance container is not washed out or falls down by the water flowing down the hand washing section. Is desirably set to 1.5 to 4 g / cm ³ . When the total average density is less than 1.1 g / cm ³ , when used on a tank, the
Turned over and useless. On the other hand, if the total average density is set to 6 g / cm ³ or more, not only does the cost increase, but when the container is inadvertently dropped on the tank, the surface of the tank may be damaged. In general, when an inexpensive and mass-produced ceramic lid and a plastic saucer are combined, the total average density is approximately 1.7 to 2 g / c.
m ³ .

To obtain such a total average density, the lid and saucer may be made of the same material of such density,
If necessary, either the lid or the saucer may be made of a light material such as resin, and the other may be made of porcelain or other heavy materials.To improve the appearance, the lid must be made of such a heavy material. It is recommended that The saucer may be a lightweight and inexpensive one made of resin. Examples of this heavy material include high-density synthetic resin blended with heavy metal powder, in addition to ceramics, metal, glass, and the like. Also,
A lid or saucer may be constructed by combining a synthetic resin member and a weight member.In short, the container has a total average density sufficient to prevent the water from being discharged from the faucet to the hand washing portion of the tank and washed down by the flowing water flow. It is good to give to.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the overall shape of the pan and lid, the engagement method, the number and arrangement of the inflow and outflow holes, the number and shape and the arrangement of the ribs, etc. However, the design can be freely changed within the scope of the object of the present invention, and particularly in the case of the saucer, in the present invention, a long leg or a suction cup inserted into a conventionally known tank injection port is used. Although it is almost unnecessary, they may be left in order to avoid troubles caused by children's mischief or excessive water squirting. In addition, as a detour method of the present invention, it is taken separately from the legs for stabilizing the container. It is also conceivable to provide water and drain pipes, and the invention covers all the alternative embodiments readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the above description.

[0020]

The present invention is configured as described above.
According to the present invention, overflow of the hand washing section is prevented irrespective of fluctuation in the amount of water supplied from the faucet to the hand washing section of the tank, and sufficient flow of water into the cleaning air freshener container can be ensured. An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning fragrance container capable of obtaining a cleaning and deodorizing effect. In addition, the present invention can be used semi-permanently, has no apparent discomfort even when placed on a tank, can always keep a good appearance, the lid can be easily removed, and the refilling of the cleaning fragrance is easy,
Further, it is possible to provide a convenient flushing fragrance container for flush toilets which does not move or overturn by a water flow even if the container is not particularly fixed, and furthermore can expect a stable cleaning effect over a long period of time. It is.
