BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a front view of an object according to the present invention in the process of being submerged into a vat of chemical; and
Figure 2 shows a plan view of a toilet. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Referring to Figure 1, a buoyant object in the form of a spherical object 10 is coated with a liquid 12 which is stored within a vat 14. The liquid 12 is typically heated and has sanitising and deodorising properties and also includes a dye.
The surface of the polystyrene sphere 10 and the properties of the liquid 12 are such that, upon submersion of the sphere 10 into the liquid 12, the liquid 12 adheres to the sphere 10 such that upon retrieval of the sphere 10 from the vat 14, a surface of the sphere 10 retains residual liquid 12. The sphere 10 is then cooled for the purpose of allowing the liquid 12 to adhere to the surface of the sphere 10. The spheres 10, once coated, are typically packaged into packages containing approximately 10 spheres. The spheres 10 are typically packaged with different sized spheres. There are typically at least 2 different sized spheres in any given package of 10 spheres 10.
Alternatively, the sphere 10 may be impregnated with one or more chemicals during the formation of the polystyrene sphere 10.
Referring to Figure 2, a toilet 16 typically has a seat 18 and a reservoir 20. Liquid 22, consisting primarily of water, is located in a bottom region of the toilet bowl 16. An aforementioned package of spheres 10 is typically emptied into the toilet bowl 16 such that the spheres 10 float in the liquid 22 in the bottom region of the toilet bowl 16. While the spheres 10 float in the liquid 22, the chemicals which either coat or impregnate the spheres 10 gradually leaches out into the liquid 22 to provide a constant supply of the sanitising and deodorising chemicals into the liquid 22. When the spheres 10 are incapable of supplying enough chemical into the liquid 22, the spheres 10 are replaced with a new package of spheres 10. Because the spheres 10 are buoyant, at least part of such spheres is typically exposed above an upper surface of the liquid 22. When using a toilet which has spheres 10 floating in the liquid 22, excrement falling downwardly into the toilet bowl 16 initially, primarily contacts the exposed regions of the spheres 10. The effect of such contact is to reduce momentum of downwardly falling excrement thereby reducing impact between such excrement and the liquid 22. Such impact absorption results in reduced probability of liquid 22 splashing upwardly toward an upper opening of the toilet bowl 16.
Reduction of splashing is also achieved simply by the presence of the spheres 10 in the liquid 22. As such, even if a substantial part of each of the spheres 10 is below the upper surface of the liquid 22, splashing is reduced. This is because the presence of objects in the liquid 22 helps to reduce momentum of downwardly falling excrement thereby absorbing the impact to decrease any resulting splashing. Upon flushing of a toilet containing spheres 10, excrement is typically forced downwardly, out of the toilet bowl 16 while the spheres 10 float upwardly toward an upper surface of the liquid 22 which rises upwardly toward an upper opening of the toilet bowl 16. In the process of flushing, excrement is typically washed from surfaces of the spheres 10.
