Dec. 13, 1955` A. N. vlERRA DISINFECTANT DISPENSER Filed May 27, 1952 R. T N 0m, m GIV V a 3 M7 ATTD RN EYB United States Patent v 2,726,406 v DIsnsFEcTANT DISPENSER Antone Nunes Vierra, Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii Application May 27,1952, Serial No. 290,278
1 claim. (c1. 4.-228) This invention relates to disinfectant dispensing devices particularly as used in flush tanks of toilet bowls, and in particular a container having a sealed filling plug in the upper end with a valve body threaded on a neck extended from the lower end, with a float actuated valve positioned in said valve body and with an extended vent tube extended from the valve body upwardly beyond the upper end of the container.
The purpose of this invention is to provide vacuum relieving means in a oat actuated disinfectant container whereby a small amount only of disinfectant is dispensed each time the tank is llushed.
Various types of float actuated dispensing containers have been provided for flush tanks of toilet bowls, how ever, it is dilcult to relieve the vacuum in a sealed container so that substantially measured quantities of disinfectant are positively discharged when the tank is flushed. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates a iloat actuated valve for a disinfectant container, where the container is adapted to be positioned in a body of water in which the valve is provided with an extended vertically disposed tube that admits air from the upper end of the tank to the interior of the disinfectant container.
The object of this invention is, therefore, to provide means for incorporating an extended vent in a valve body of a float actuated dispenser valve.
Another object of the invention is to provide an automatically operating dispensing container that may be installed in a flush tank of a toilet bowl by a hook extended over the upper edge of a wall of the tank and without permanent attaching means.
A further object of the invention is to provide a lloat actuated dispensing container having an upwardly extended vent in which the container is of a simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies a container having threaded necks extended from the ends with a sealing cap positioned on the neck on the upper end, a valve body threaded on the neck extended from the lower end and in which the valve of the said valve body is positioned to be actuated by a oat and wherein the valve body is provided with a tube extended from one side thereof to a point positioned above the upper end of the container.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a vertical section through the dispensing container with the valve shown in the closed position.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the lower end of the container with the parts on an enlarged scale and showing the valve in the open position wherein disinfectant is being discharged from the container.
Figure 3 is a similar view, on a reduced scale, also showing the valve in the open position and showing the valve surrounded by water in the tank whereby disinfectant is prevented from flowing from the container.
l 2,726,406 ce Patented Dec. 13, 1955 As illustrated in Fig. 1 the container 10 is providedy with a threaded neck 16, at the upper end, providing a lilling opening, and a cap 17 threaded Von'the neck 16 and provided with a sealing washer 18 provides va 'sealed closure for the upper end of the container.
The lower end of the container is provided with a similar threaded neck 19 upon which the valve body 12 is threaded and a sealing washer 20 is provided between the end of the neck 19 and the valve body. A neck 21 extends downwardly from the valve body 12 and a frustoconical shaped valve seat 22 for the valve 11 is provided in the intermediate part of the body. The lower end surface of the neck 2.1 is provided with cross grooves 23 that communicate with a bore 24 which extends through the valve body and through which the valve stem 14 passes and in the upper end of which the valve seat 22 is positioned.,
A knurled nut 2S is threaded on a threaded section of the stem 14, and the lower part of the threaded section of the stem is threaded into a boss 26 on one side of the oat 13. By this means the nut 25 is adjusted on the stem 14 to regulate the opening movement of the valve 11 whereby the amount of disinfectant discharged each time a toilet bowl is hushed is adapted to be regulated.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the upper surface of the knurled nut 25 is spaced from the end surface of the neck 21 of the valve body 12 when the level of liquid in the tank 29 is below the ball 13 and as the tank lills with water whereby the water passes upwardly, as illustrated in Figure 2, the ball or float 13 moves the valve stem and valve upwardly until the upper surface of the nut 25 engages the end surface of the neck 21 and disinfectant flows over the valve 11, through the bore 24 and the grooves of the cross 23, as indicated by the arrows 21, until the water level passes upwardly over the lower part of the valve body, as shown in Figure 3. With liquid, such as water, surrounding the lower part of the valve body, the grooves 23 are closed with the water as soon as the pressure of the water and the pressure of the lluid in the tank 10 is equalized. The escape channels for the disinfectant remain closed by the water until the water level drops to the position shown in Figure 2 whereby the disinfectant passes outwardly through the grooves 23 into water of the tank.
The valve body 12 is also provided with a side opening 27, from the outer end of which the vent tube 15 extends and, as illustrated in Fig. l the upper end of the tube 15 extends to a point 28, which is above the water level of the tank 29.
The container 10 is also provided with a hanger or hook 30 with which the dispensing container is suspended from the upper edge of a wall of the tank.
With the parts positioned in this manner the valve is normally retained in the open position as long as water in the tank extends upwardly above the valve body and upon flushing of the tank the float drops downwardly with the liquid level, as illustrated in Fig. 2 whereby disinfectant ows through the bore 24 of the lower end of the valve body into the tank as indicated by the arrows 31, the displaced disinfectant in the tank being replaced with air through the vent. As the liquid level continues to drop the float draws thevalve 11 downwardly against the valve seat 22 and the valve is closed. By this means disinfectant is discharged only as the valve travels downwardly or upwardly with the liquid level and oat.
The container may readily be refilled through the cap 17 and it may also be removed to clean the valve body.
It will be understood that modications within the Scope of the appended claim may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
A disinfectant container valve comprising a valve body having an internally threaded upper end with a neck of reduced diameter extended from the lower end, said neck having a vertically disposed bore extended therethrough witha valve seat at the upper end of the bore and spaced below the threads and with cross grooves in the end surface of the lower endsaid valve body having a laterally positioned opening extended from a point above the valve seat, an upwardly disposed tube extended from said open ing providing a vent, a valvepositioned on said valve seat, a stem extended from said valve through the bore of the neck, a hollow hall carried by the lower end of the stem providing a oat, and a nut threaded on said stem for regulating the opening movement of the valve.
