JPS5820703Y2 - Deodorant supply device - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a deodorant supply device that is installed in a water tank of a flush toilet so that a predetermined amount of deodorant can always flow out by utilizing the rise and fall of the water level in the water tank.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in order to deodorize a flush toilet, a container containing a deodorizing agent has been sometimes installed in a water tank.

However, these containers have a structure in which when the amount of deodorant decreases, the amount of deodorant that can be dissolved becomes insufficient, and a good deodorizing effect cannot always be obtained.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a deodorant supplying device that can overcome these drawbacks and can always dispense a predetermined amount of deodorant regardless of the amount of deodorant in the container.

Next, the deodorant supply device of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

A main body 1 of the deodorant supply device is held in a water tank 3 of a flush toilet via a holder 2.

The main body 1 consists of a cylindrical deodorant container 4 and a float body 5,
The upper part of the deodorant container 4 is opened and the deodorant 6 is filled inside.

Only the portion of the deodorant 6 that comes into contact with water melts, and is sequentially dissolved by the water flowing in from the opening of the deodorant container 4 and then drained out as described later.

A pair of bearings 7 is provided on the peripheral wall of the container 1 at a position horizontally away from a horizontal line passing through the center of gravity of the main body 1 by a displacement l.

A shaft 8 provided at the tip of the U-shaped portion 2a of the holder 2 is inserted into the bearing 7.

Therefore, when the main body 1 is not submerged in water and no buoyant force acts on the float body 5, the main body 1 rotates around the shaft 8,
The opening of the deodorant container 4 faces diagonally downward, allowing the melted deodorant to flow out.

It should be noted that the vertical distance between the center of gravity of the main body 1 and the shaft 8 naturally affects the inversion angle of the main body 1.The shaft 8 is attached to the deodorant container 4, and the bearing 7 is Part 2a
It may also be provided.

Further, a suction cup 9 is provided at the upper end of the holder 2, and the holder 2 is fixed by suctioning the suction cup 9 to the inner wall of the water tank 3.

However, instead of the suction cup 9, a locking member may be provided at the upper end of the holder 2 and locked to the upper end of the water tank 3.

The float body 5 is formed into a hemispherical shape with air sealed inside, and is fixed to the upper end of a connecting rod 10 extending upward from the center of the bottom of the deodorant container 4.

A projecting edge 11 is provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 10, and the projecting edge 11 engages with an engagement hole 12 provided at the center of the lower surface of the float body 5, whereby the float body 5 is fixed to the connecting rod 10. .

Note that a gap 13 is provided between the lower surface of the float body 5 and the upper end of the deodorant container 4, and water can flow into the upper part of the deodorant container 4 through the gap 13.

The operation of the deodorant supply device with the above configuration will be explained.

When the water tank 1 is filled with water, buoyancy acts on the float body 5, so the opening of the deodorant container 4 is kept facing vertically upward, as shown by the solid line in FIG.

Therefore, water flows into the upper surface of the deodorant container 4 through the gap 13, and the upper surface of the deodorant remains in a melted state.

When the water in the water tank 3 temporarily decreases due to the use of a flush toilet, buoyancy no longer acts on the float body 5, so the main body 1 of the deodorant supply device is centered around the shaft 8, with the float body 5 pointing downward. Rotate like this.

This is because the center of gravity of the main body 1 is deviated from the axis 8 in the horizontal direction.

When the main body 1 rotates, the opening of the deodorant container 4 faces obliquely downward as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, and the melted deodorant flows into the water tank 3 through the gap 13.

Next, when the water tank 3 is filled with water, buoyancy is applied to the float body 5 and the main body 1 returns to its original state, and the water flowing into the upper part of the deodorant container 4 melts the top surface of the deodorant 6. It will be done.

By repeating the above operations, the amount of deodorant 6 in the deodorant container 4 decreases.

However, even in that case, the deodorant container 4 is tilted downward as the water level in the water tank 3 falls, and the dissolved deodorant is reliably flowed into the water tank 3 from the space 13.

As described above, in the present invention, the main body of the deodorant supply device is reversed to face downward by utilizing changes in the water level in the water tank, and the dissolved deodorant flows out from the deodorant container into the water tank. .

Therefore, even if the amount of deodorant in the deodorant container decreases, a predetermined dissolved deodorant is reliably flowed out, and a good deodorizing effect can always be maintained.

Further, the deodorant packed in the deodorant container is completely discharged and used while maintaining a good flow-out condition, which is economical and eliminates waste.
