Definitions

• Dispenser for a cleaning agent with an integrated, adjustable cleaning brush or cleaning sponge.
• the invention relates to a container for a cleaning agent, in particular for cleaning and / or disinfecting toilet bowls and similar sanitary installations with a squeeze bottle made of plastic containing the cleaning agent liquid, pasty or in powder form with an angled outlet element and a cleaning brush and / or sponge mounted thereon.
• the invention has for its object to remedy the difficulties and disadvantages mentioned and to present an improved and further developed dispenser, with the help of which cleaning work for the operator, in particular the housewife, is made considerably easier. Thanks to the new sliding brush / sponge, it is also possible to use the dispenser as previously used squeeze bottles and known dispensers and to spray the cleaning material, for example, in hard-to-reach places (edge of the toilet bowl, etc.).
• the further developed donor enables the economical and efficient use of the Detergent for such - applications in which the adjustable cleaning brush is at the level of the outlet opening of the outlet member. In this case, cleaning agent can be applied and the mechanical cleaning process can be started at the same time.
• the improved cleaning dispenser should be as simple and inexpensive to manufacture as possible.
• Figure 1 an upright squeeze bottle with a cap and a possible slide
• FIG. 2 a section through a squeeze bottle in a horizontal position with the cleaning brush withdrawn and the spraying direction directed obliquely upwards
• FIG. 3 a simplified illustration of the bottle with the spraying direction directed obliquely downwards and the cleaning brush pulled forward
• Figure 4 a simplified representation of the cleaning brush with possible liquid outlet openings
• Figure -5 a section through the area of the bottle neck (17) and drip catcher (12)
• Figure 6 a section through the functional unit consisting of immersion tube (11) 'and cleaning brush (6) or cleaning sponge Due to the construction method shown above, it is possible to a large extent to avoid unnecessary losses of the cleaning material during the cleaning work, since the cleaning material can be applied directly from the mouthpiece 5 onto the cleaning brush 6 or the cleaning surface. At the time when the cleaning material emerges from the opening 5, it is already distributed with the brush 6 and thus optimally develops its cleaning action at the desired point. Due to the angled design of the outlet organ 3, work is also made considerably easier in places that are difficult to access, such as, for example, under the edge of the toilet bowl. Also due to the angled design of the outlet member 3, this construction enables the cleaning agent to be applied at higher, but also at lower points, compared to conventional squeeze bottles.
• the squeeze bottle 1 has a depression / collar 4 in the area of the transition from bottle to outlet element 2, in which the cleaning brush / sponge 6 can be partially sunk when not in use. This prevents liquid from running over the bottle after use and pushing back the cleaning brush / sponge 6 and subsequently placing the squeeze bottle 1 on its base 8.
• the bottle also has a screw or cap closure 7, which can be screwed or plugged on in the area of the collar 4.
• it can have an integrated handle 13 or a recess 14 adapted to the hand in the bottle surface.
