Benefits of technology

The present invention is a toilet bowl cleaning device that is easy to use, compact, and inexpensive. The device can effectively clean any size of toilet bowl and is designed to be user-friendly. The device requires minimal storage space, is easy to install, and seals the bottom drain of the toilet bowl quickly. Overall, the technical effects of the invention include improved hygiene, convenience, and affordability.

Problems solved by technology

Periodic cleaning the toilet bowl, especially the upper rim, is recognized as a difficult and unappealing job which still must be performed.
Unfortunately, cleaning under the upper rim of the toilet bowl is difficult because the stains are hidden under the upper rim.
Unfortunately, the cleaning chemicals cannot be applied to the bowl surface above the level of the flush water.

first embodiment

[0024]FIGS. 1 and 2 depict the toilet cleaning device as a presently Generally, the toilet cleaning device of the invention comprises a guiding member 100, an inflatable water stopper 200, and a pump device 300.

[0025]The guiding member 100 is formed in an elongated and hollow structure, wherein the guiding member 100 has an air passage 102 defined between an upper end 104 and a bottom end 106. In the presently first embodiment, the guiding member 100 is a flexible and stretchable air tube forming the air passage 102 within an interior of the guiding member 100. The guiding member 100 is made of rubber or other air-sealed flexible material.

[0026]The inflatable water stopper 200 is extended from the bottom end 106 of the guiding member 100, wherein the inflatable water stopper 200 is designed for positioning in the bottom drain 12 of the toilet bowl 10 to provide a water sealing effect thereat. In the presently first embodiment, the inflatable water stopper 200 comprises an inflatabl...

second embodiment

[0044]The guiding member 500 is modified to form in an elongated and hollow structure, wherein the guiding member 500 has an air passage 502 defined between an upper end 504 and a bottom end 506. In the presently second embodiment, the guiding member 500 is a rigid air pipe forming the air passage 502 within an interior of the guiding member 500. The guiding member 500 is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or other air-sealed rigid material.

[0045]The inflatable water stopper 600 is extended from the bottom end 506 of the guiding member 500, wherein the inflatable water stopper 500 is designed for positioning in the bottom drain 12 of the toilet bowl 10 to provide a water sealing effect thereat. In the presently second embodiment, the inflatable water stopper 600 comprises an upper inflatable bladder 602 extended from the bottom end 106 of the guiding member 500 and a lower inflatable bladder 604 with a size smaller than a size of the upper inflatable bladder 602. The interior of each ...

Abstract

A toilet cleaning device includes an elongated and hollow guiding member, an inflatable water stopper and a pump device. The inflatable water stopper is extended from a bottom end of the guiding member and is positioned in a bottom drain of a toilet bowl. The pump device is provided at an upper end of the guiding member. The pump device is actuated to inflate the inflatable water stopper through the guiding member. Therefore, the inflatable water stopper is inflated at a predetermined size for matching with a size of the bottom drain of the toilet bowl to water-seal thereat and for raising water level in the toilet bowl when water is added.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a device for cleaning a toilet bowl. More particularly, the present invention relates to a toilet bowl cleaning device, which is a simple, compact and inexpensive device to effectively clean under the upper rim of any size of toilet bowl.[0003]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0004]A flush toilet is a flushing device that flushes human wastes through a drainpipe. The flush toilet includes a toilet bowl and a flushing mechanism to flush the wastes in the toilet bowl by using water through the drainpipe. A plurality of water outlets is provided at the upper rim of the toilet bowl to direct the flush water in the tank to the drainpipe through the toilet bowl.[0005]At an idle or static condition, a relatively small amount of residual water will remain at the bottom portion of the toilet bowl. Over extended periods of use, wastes will be accumulated on the bowl surface above that water level. Periodic cleaning...
