Definitions

• Dispensing device for dispensing active fluids
• the invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing active substance fluids into the flushing liquid in a toilet bowl with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
• active substance fluid means flowable, i.e. liquid to viscous, possibly gel-like or also pasty or granular or otherwise pourable active substance preparations with cleaning, disinfecting, deodorising, bleaching, etc. Effect (in particular described in the unpublished DE 199 30 362 A1, as well as in EP 0 775 741 A1 and EP 0 960 984 A2).
• Dispensing devices of the type in question are known under the keyword “toilet basket” in various designs.
• Dispensing devices for a single active substance fluid are initially known.
• the active substance fluid is located there in a storage container which is fixedly arranged or interchangeably inserted in a holder and has an outlet opening arranged on the bottom when the storage container is attached to the holder.
• the active substance fluid is added via an actuating element which can be impregnated therewith and can be acted upon with the rinsing liquid (for example made of an open-cell foam) (EP 785 315 A1).
• the outlet opening of the storage container is largely closed by pushing out a closure part of the storage container by a sealing element arranged in a fixed manner on the holder, so that only one flow path with a small cross section is available for the active substance fluid to seep out.
• the device works using the capillary action of the open-cell foam.
• a similar construction is also known with a rib plate for distribution. In both variants, it is sometimes not considered optimal that the outlet opening is in principle permanently open, that is to say, active fluid seeps out even when the toilet bowl is not used for a long time.
• Another dispensing device for a single active fluid realizes a valve-like sealing element on the storage container, which normally assumes a positively closed closed position in which the outlet opening is closed. This takes place under the effect of the weight of a valve ball acting as a sealing element.
• This sealing element can be adjusted against the prestressing force into a release position which slightly releases the outlet opening.
• An actuating element designed as a rocker and pivotably mounted on a pivot axis on the holder serves for this purpose.
• the confirmation element On one side of the axis, the confirmation element has an exposure area which has a trough-like receptacle for rinsing liquid.
• the arm of the confirmation element lying on the other side of the axis lies against the sealing element from below.
• Each chamber has a dispensing device with a dispensing tube, which has one free end that emerges via the bottom of the container into the environment and is fluidly surrounded by a cover at its other free end.
• the two chambers of the container can be filled with overflowing rinsing water via slot-like passages in a cover part, which then exits into the toilet bowl in the manner of a siphon or overflow via the dispensing tubes, taking the respective active ingredient with them.
• the separation of the chambers in the container has the advantage that different media can be used, which would otherwise have a detrimental effect on their desired effect if they were stored together in only one chamber. The consistency of the media can also differ in the different chambers.
• a two-chamber dispensing device for the same or different gel-like active substance fluids (WO 92/20876 A1) is also known, in which the outlet Openings are made as perforations in the bottom of the storage containers and are permanently open. Due to the viscosity and surface tension of the gel, it cannot normally escape under gravitational force. Partial amounts of the active substance fluids can only be discharged by overflowing rinsing liquid which enters the outlet openings from below and which slightly dissolves gel near the outlet openings.
• outlet openings are in principle permanently open, that is to say the active substance fluids either seep out or harden under the influence of the ambient atmosphere even after long periods of non-use of the toilet bowl and can then no longer be activated.
• the teaching is based on the problem of optimizing the known, previously explained dispensing device for dispensing active substance fluids from at least two separate storage containers with regard to the control option for dispensing the active substance fluids.
• the problem presented above is solved in a dispensing device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
• the storage containers are protected against the ingress of rinsing liquid into their interior and only active substance fluid emerges from the outlet openings of the storage containers. This is realized in such a way that with each rinsing process a portion of the active substance fluid is released into the rinsing water from each storage container.
• an embodiment of the dispensing device according to the invention is particularly expedient.
• a positive closure of the outlet openings is expedient in this conception, in particular for the purpose of the defined dimensioning of the partial quantities and for the purpose of protecting the active substance fluids in the storage containers if they are not used for a long time.
