Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing, in toilet bowls or water-using sanitary fixtures in general, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances in the solid state, packaged in a water-soluble bar or tablet or in the liquid state or in a gel.
  • Devices for dispensing in toilet bowls detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, packaged in a water-soluble tablet or bar are known. These devices are generally constituted by a supporting structure, which is composed of an enclosure with a cage-like structure which forms internally a receptacle for the tablet or bar and with a hook-shaped arm for hanging, which is connected to the enclosure and can engage the rim of the toilet bowl so as to support the enclosure below the rim of the toilet bowl, where the holes for dispensing the flushing water of the toilet bowl are provided. In this manner, every time the flushing system of the toilet bowl is operated, the flushing water strikes the enclosure, gradually dissolving the tablet or bar and therefore mixing the detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances with the flushing water.
  • Devices for dispensing, in toilet bowls, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, in the liquid state or as a gel are also known. These devices are provided with a tank, which is hung from the rim of the toilet bowl and contains the detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances, and the substances are dispensed into the flushing water usually by utilizing the washing action of the water on a preset region of the device, in which a certain quantity of said substances is provided, generally by gravity.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing, in toilet bowls or water-using sanitary fixtures in general, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances in the solid state, packaged in a tablet or bar, or in the liquid state or as a gel, which achieves an improved solution of the substances in the flushing water.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device which, for the same detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances used, achieves a greater generation of foam and a longer retention of the generated foam with respect to known types of devices.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is structurally simple and can be manufactured at competitive costs.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is practical to use.
  • a device for dispensing, in toilet bowls or water-using sanitary fixtures in general, detergent and/or sanitizing and/or deodorant substances comprising a supporting structure provided with engagement means which can engage the sanitary fixture in order to support the supporting structure in a region of the fixture which is affected by the flow of flushing water, characterized in that it comprises a rotating element which forms internally at least one receptacle which is connected to the outside and is adapted to contain the substance or substances to be dispensed, said rotating element being supported so that it can rotate about a rotation axis by said supporting structure and being able to rotate about said rotation axis with respect to said supporting structure due to the flow of the flushing water of the sanitary fixture.
