Patented Nov. 8, 1932 UNITED PAT CALIFORNIA DEODORIZING DEVICE Application filed July 27, 1931. Serial No. 553,450.

This invention relates to a novel improvement in disinfecting and deodorizing device for toilets, toilet bowls, and the like.

An object of our invention is to provide an article which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture. and which can be quickly and easily mounted in a position be more eifective.

Another object is to provide novel disinfecting and deodorizing device whichcan be readily mounted in the water openi gs under the rim of the bowl, or can be att shed to the rim of the bowl in such a manner that it can be easily removed when the active materials are exhausted.

Other objects, advantages, an l invention may appear from the accompanying drawing. the subjoined detailed descr1ption, and theappended claims.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentary, transverse, sectional view of a bowl with our deodorizing device placed therein.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of one form of deodorizing device.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary, transverse, sectional View of a bowl illustrating slightl modified form of mounting our deodorizin device thereon.

Figure 4: is aside elevation of the form of device shown in Figure 3.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a l tones cowl in the rim 2 of which a plurality of water hole: 3 are provided. Our deodorizing device a consists of a substantially cylindrical bloclr of a suitable decdorizing and disinfecting material 5. This block is composed of cer tain active ingredients which either dissolve in the water or gradual! y eva orate. or both.

A piece of wire 6 eten L cylinder 5 and said cylinder molded on this wire during the course of manufacture. A loop 7 is formed in the adja end of the cylinder 5 and from this l. wire is bent into a curved section 8 w extends into one of the holes 3 to mount the cylinder 5 under the rim the be. own in Figure 1. The loop 7 imparts a tension pull FFICE or LOS ANGELES,

to the section 8 so that held securely in position.

we have shown a slightmountmg the block of wh1ch form 18 substantially as follows: A block of disinfecting material 9, substantially cylindrical 1n form, is molded around a wire 10 which extends ax1r ally thru said block. into an angular hook fit over the rim 2 of as shown in F1gure 3.

The wire 10 is bent 11 which is adapted to the bowl substantially The hook 11 is sprung over the rim of the bowl and the spring action of the wire is sufiicient to hold the cylinder 9 tightly against the inner edge of the bowl and under the rim substantially as shown in Figure 3. The block or cylinder 9 is formed of disinfecting and deodorizing materials of the same character as previously described for the type shown in Figures 1 and 2.

While we have illustrated our disinfectmg material mounted upon, or in a toiletbowl, it is obvious that the could be mounted adjacent disinfecting block to the bowl or in any other place found advisable.

Having described our inventlon, we claim:

1. In a deodorizing device for mounting upon a toilet bowl a resilient wire bent upon itself to form a pair of ing clamping legs extendin substantially the same direction, substantially parallel and resiliently urged toward each other, and

a block of solid deodorant mounted upon one of said legs, the other of said legs being curved for insertion into a water opening in s deodorant aid bowl to clamp said to the surface of said bowl. 2. In a deodorizmg device for mounting upon a toilet'bowl having a perforated interior rim for water entrance to said resilient wire bent upon itself to form a bowl, a pan' resiliently urged said legs being toward each other, one of adapted for insertion in said water openings, and a block of solid deodorant mounted upon the other of said legs and held in clamping relation to the rim of said bowl immediately below said water openings.

3. In a deodorizin g device for mounting upon a toilet fixture, a resilient Wire bent upon itself to form a loop and a pair of clamping legs resiliently urged toward each other, and a block of solid deodorant material mounted upon one of said legs, the other of said legs adapted to extend substantially parallel tosaid first-named leg and arranged to bear against a portion of said toilet fixture to clamp said deodorant said fixture.

In testimony whereof, We afiix our signatures. V 7
