Benefits of technology

[0009]The aim of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing into the flushing water and / or for mixing with the flushing water detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products, in toilet bowls or hydraulic and sanitary fixtures in general, which ensures optimum mixing of the detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products with the flushing water.
[0010]Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a device which, for equal detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products used, achieves a greater generation of foam and a longer retention of the generated foam with respect to known types of devices.
[0011]Another object of the invention is to provide a device which can be manufactured at competitive costs and is simple to use.

Problems solved by technology

When using such devices, very often a scarcely uniform wear of the tablet or bar is observed, because the flushing water strikes in a different manner the various regions of the tablet or bar.
This scarcely uniform wear has the effect of producing very often an unwanted breakup of the tablet or bar, with the release of undissolved pieces into the flushing water and therefore with a scarcely effective wear of the tablet or bar in terms of washing the toilet bowl.
Moreover, with such devices the substances that compose the tablet or bar dissolve in the flushing water in a scarcely satisfactory manner, and foam generation is limited and is usually enhanced by increasing the content of surfactants in the products that compose the tablet or bar.
Even with these devices, very often the mixing of the detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products in the flushing water is not fully satisfactory and foam generation is limited and conditioned by the shape of the toilet bowl, by the force of the water jet, and by the direction of the flushing water on the device.
In this case also, very often the mixing of the detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products in the flushing water is not fully satisfactory and foam generation is limited.

first embodiment

[0039]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the device 1a in the first embodiment comprises a supporting structure 2a, which is constituted substantially by an enclosure composed of two parts 7a, 8a, which are mutually assembled and define a compartment 9a inside them. Such compartment 9a is connected to the outside through openings 10a, which are designed to be directed toward the wall of the fixture along which the flushing water flows, and optionally openings 11a on its opposite side.

[0040]The rotating element 5a is constituted, in this first embodiment, by an impeller 6a with radial vanes which taper in the direction of their axial ends. The impeller 6a is supported, so that it can rotate about its own axis 4a, by the supporting structure 2a within the compartment 9a. The axis 4a of the impeller 6a, when the device is being used, is arranged substantially horizontally.

[0041]The detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products to be mixed with the flushing water are also arranged...

second embodiment

[0047]In practice, in the use of the device in this second embodiment, the flushing water enters the compartment 9b through the openings 10b, 11b located in the upper part of the supporting structure 2b, comes into contact with the tablets 12b, 13b, causing their gradual dissolution, and then descends onto the impeller 6b, causing its rotation about its own axis 4b before flowing out through the openings 11b located in the lower part of the supporting structure 2b.

[0048]In this second embodiment also, the impeller 6b performs predominantly the function of improving the mixing of the products of the dissolution of the tablets 12b, 13b with each other and with the flushing water, increasing the production of foam. Moreover, the particular shape of the impeller 6b also directs laterally the flow of water mixed with the products of the dissolution of the tablets 12b, 13b in output from the device, thus extending the area of the action of the products on the walls of the bowl and achiev...

third embodiment

[0049]With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the device 1c in the third embodiment comprises a supporting structure 2c, which is constituted substantially by an enclosure composed of two parts 7c, 8c, which are mutually assembled and define internally a compartment 9c. Such compartment 9c is connected to the outside through openings 10c, which are designed to be directed toward the wall of the fixture along which the flushing water flows, and optionally openings 11c on its opposite side.

[0050]The rotating element 5c is constituted, in this third embodiment, by an impeller 6c with radial vanes which taper in the direction of their axial ends. The impeller 6c is supported, so that it can rotate about its own axis 4c, by the supporting structure 2c within the compartment 9c. The axis 4c, when the device is in use, is arranged substantially horizontally.

[0051]The detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products to be mixed with the flushing water are also arranged within the compartment ...

Abstract

A device for dispensing into the flushing water and / or for mixing with the flushing water detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products, in toilet bowls or hydraulic and sanitary fixtures in general. The device comprises a supporting structure provided with engagement means which can engage the hydraulic and sanitary fixture in order to support the supporting structure in a region of the fixture that is affected by the flushing water flow. The supporting structure supports rotatably, about a rotation axis, at least one rotating element, which interacts with the flow of flushing water in order to mix detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products introduced in the flushing water and / or adjust the dispensing of detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products connected to the supporting structure and / or vary the orientation of the flow of flushing water conveyed onto detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products connected to the supporting structure. The detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products are external to the rotating element.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a device for dispensing in the flushing water and / or for mixing with the flushing water detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products, in toilet bowls or hydraulic and sanitary fixtures in general.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Devices for dispensing, within toilet bowls, detergent and / or sanitizing and / or deodorant products in the solid state, packaged in the form of water-soluble tablet or bar, are known. Such devices are constituted generally by a supporting structure, which is composed of an enclosure with a cage-like structure which defines internally a compartment for the tablet or bar and a hook-shaped suspension arm, which is connected to the enclosure and can engage the rim of the toilet bowl so as to support the enclosure below the rim of the toilet bowl, where the holes for dispensing the flushing water of the toilet bowl are provided. In this manner, every time the flushing system of the toilet bowl is operated, the flushi...
