Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for uniformly metering a liquid into a toilet bowl.
  • the device is attached to a toilet bowl lid and, after the lid has been closed, releases an equal amount of a cleaning and / or disinfectant with a time delay and distributes it over a larger area into the toilet bowl.
  • Lid whereby even slight deviations from a horizontal position can rob such dosing systems of their function.
  • Such devices are therefore not suitable for retrofitting to existing toilet lids, since these - depending on the type - are inclined downwards and even upwards to different extents, for example if the lid is designed as a seat recess.
  • a time delay of only 2-3 seconds is achieved with such conventional systems.
  • the metered amount is not always the same, but depends in part on the amount of content in the container.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to remedy the disadvantages mentioned above and to achieve a time-delayed dispensing of a liquid, which is distributed over two or more metering points, using an inexpensive device, preferably made of plastic, without mechanics.
  • a specially designed liquid container which is either mounted on the toilet lid or integrated into it, or is designed in the form of a toilet lid which, due to the closing process of the toilet lid, always has an equal amount of a corresponding liquid distributed on the sloping inside of the toilet bowl.
  • the dosing process essentially takes place through the guided forced movement of around 90 ° when the toilet lid is closed.
  • One or more wound tubes in the closed container each with a receiving opening at the lower end on the side facing the lid, are always filled with the metered quantity only to just above the edge of this opening, thanks to the negative pressure created in the container after opening the lid, regardless of the level of the container.
  • the metered amount runs through the pipe and is discharged through a discharge opening facing away from the lid into distribution channels, which in turn distribute the liquid drop by drop into the toilet bowl through smaller holes .
  • the drops run down towards the water-covered drain of the toilet bowl. This is how the sliding film is formed.
  • the dosing device has the following advantages:
  • the chair sticks to the bowl less often or not at all, which improves hygiene and the toilet brush is used less.
  • the dosing quantity is always the same, regardless of the fill level of the container.
  • a closable refill opening for example a screw cap, can be conveniently refilled from a storage bottle without having to remove the container from the toilet lid.
  • Any suitable toilet lid can be retrofitted with a suitable, possibly detachable, fastening device.
  • the dosing device works without mechanics and can therefore be inexpensive, preferably made of plastic.
  • the dosing device is not visible when the toilet lid is closed; it also does not hinder the manual cleaning of the toilet bowl, unlike many other systems, which are either hung in the toilet bowl or fastened inside the toilet bowl. - The dosing device is not contaminated by using the toilet.
  • the area of application is primarily in private households, but also in public toilets and in the hospitality industry.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partial sectional view of a toilet 1 with the toilet lid 17 open and the metering device 4-20 attached to it.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial sectional view of a toilet 1 with the toilet lid 17 closed shortly after use.
  • Figure 3 shows a sectional view through the standing metering device.
  • FIG. 4 shows the sectional view of one half of the metering device through line A-A of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows a partial sectional view of a downwardly inclined toilet lid 17A in the closed state with the metering device 4-20 attached to it.
  • FIG. 6 shows a partial sectional view of an upwardly inclined toilet lid 17B with a recessed seat in the closed state, with the metering device 4-20 attached to it.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic representation of the distribution of the metered liquid within the toilet bowl 2 with the formation of the sliding film 3.
  • FIG. 8 shows a schematic representation of the distribution of the metered liquid within the toilet bowl 2 with formation of the sliding film 3 when using a metering device 4-20 with two distribution channels 10.
  • the metering device 4-20 dispenses a metered amount 6 dropwise via the distribution channel 10 into the toilet bowl. Thanks to the distribution in the width and the slope of the toilet bowl 2, a surface wetted by the liquid is formed, the sliding film 3.
  • the formation of the sliding film 3 and its physico-chemical properties naturally also depend on the type of used liquid.
  • An oil-containing, aqueous mixture is preferred which contains substances with cleaning, disinfection and / or strong perfuming effects.
  • the oil content is preferably less than 10% by weight and can be in the range from 2 to 6% by weight for most applications.
  • the resulting sliding film has a good adhesion-reducing effect and effectively reduces the sticking of the chair to the inside of the toilet bowl.
  • the liquid 8 and part of it is also in a small trough, formed from a deflector 14 and side walls 15.
  • This small trough which forms a separate interior within the container 4 and in which the tube 5 is fastened at one end (Fig. 3, Fig. 4), is filled in that when the toilet lid 17 is opened, i.e. from the horizontal position into the vertical position shown, part of the liquid 8 flows into this tub and remains there while the rest again, following gravity, flows back into the lower region of the container 4. Part of the liquid collected in the trough of the deflecting part then flows through the receiving opening 7 into the tortuous tube 5 until the receiving opening 7 is closed by the surrounding liquid.
  • the distribution channel 10 is connected to the upper end of the tube 5 and has any number of holes 11, but preferably four.
  • the perforators are preferably arranged symmetrically and have increasing diameters from the center to the edges of the distribution channel in order to allow as uniform a dosage from all perforators as possible (FIG.).
  • two or more pipes 5 with associated distribution pipes are preferably channels 10 are arranged within the metering device 4-20, the distribution channels being able to be arranged both in a row and at angles to one another (FIG. 7, FIG. 8).
  • the metering device 4-20 can be designed in different sizes, and the metering quantity 9 can also be set as desired by constructional measures, for example by varying the cross sections of the tube (s) 5 and / or the holes 11.
  • a metering device is favorable, the dimensions of which are such that the container 4 can be filled with 100 to 250 ml, preferably with about 150 ml of metering liquid and about 0.5 to 1 ml of liquid into the toilet per metering process.
  • the length of the distribution channel or channels 10 can also be matched to the respective toilet bowl models.
  • a metering device with one or more distribution channels 10 the most widely spaced holes 11 of which span a total distance of 10 to 20 cm, in particular 12 to 15 cm, is suitable for most toilet models and one sufficiently wide sliding film 3 generated.
  • the metered quantity 9 flows through the winding pipe 5, through the dispensing opening 6 to the left and right into the distribution channel 10 and drips through the holes 11 in the Toilet bowl 2. Since the receiving opening 7 is above the level of the liquid 8, no further liquid 8 can be removed from the container 4. flow.
  • the winding course of the metering quantity 9 and the slow dripping effect the function of the time delay. This prevents the sliding film 3 from being washed away in the event that the toilet lid is closed before the toilet bowl 2 is rinsed with water.
  • an air opening 12 is preferably arranged for the necessary backflow of air. It is located in the area of the discharge opening 6 of the tube 5 at an elevated point, which is normally not reached by the metering liquid 8 on its way through the tube 5 and is therefore not clogged (FIG. 3), so that during the draining Liquid (8) from the holes (11) of the distribution channel (10) air can flow back into the container (4) unhindered.
  • a collecting channel 13 which catches any oily liquid 8 which flows back or creeps back when the toilet lid is opened (FIG. 3).
  • this collecting channel 13 is constructed in such a way that when the toilet lid is closed again, the liquid collected in the collecting channel 13 flows back or creeps back in the direction of the distribution channel 10 and then again on the outside thereof Drip-in toilet bowl.

  • the metering device can also be permanently integrated in the toilet lid or can be designed in the form of a toilet lid.
  • the winding pipe 5, the distribution channel 10 and the holes 11 can be clearly seen.
  • the metering device is equipped with two of these arrangements, of which, however, only a half is shown in the sectional view in FIG. The second half would be next to it, mirrored around the C axis.
  • the function of the small tub, formed by a deflector 14 and side walls 15, allows all common types of toilet lid to be equipped with one and the same metering device, despite very different angles of inclination of the closed toilet lid 17, 17A, 17B. Thanks to this trough, it is possible to arrange the tube 5 with a strong inclination angle of preferably 5-15 degrees, based on the horizontal, with the metering device in a horizontal position, so that even with the toilet lids 17B inclined slightly upward, the tube 5 with the toilet lid closed. Cover still has a slope towards the toilet bowl and the dosage 9 can flow automatically into the distribution channel 10 after closing the toilet lid and then drip into the toilet bowl 2. If in special cases an inclination of the tube 5 by more than 15 degrees is required, the container 4 would be made correspondingly wider in order to create the required space for the inclination of the tube.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de dosage fixé sur un couvercle de W-C. (17), qui déverse à l'avant dans la cuvette de W-C. (17), une quantité constante de produit nettoyant et/ou de désinfectant et de substance odorante, au moment où l'abattant de W-C. effectue, lors de sa fermeture, un mouvement de bascule. Le récipient (4) contient le liquide (8). Une petite cuvette disposée dans le récipient (4), qui comprend une partie de chasse (14) et des parois latérales (15), est remplie, suite à l'ouverture de l'abattant de W-C. (17). La quantité dosée (9) s'écoule depuis la cuvette dans le tuyau (5), en passant par l'ouverture de réception (7). La fermeture de l'abattant de W-C. (17) entraîne l'écoulement de la quantité dosée (9) à travers le tuyau (5) coudé et l'ouverture de sortie (6), dans le canal de répartition (10) monté transversalement. Ledit volume dosé s'écoule par plusieurs trous (11) de manière répartie dans la cuvette de W-C. Cette configuration permet de délivrer le produit avec un décalage temporel de 10 à 25 secondes et évite ainsi une disparition prématurée des principes actifs.
