Connected container for toilet and garden

Abstract

The invention is a hygienic container, for the toilet or garden, connected to a toilet water supply tap or a garden or ablution room tap; its volume is divided into two separate tanks; the main tank (1) containing water has an ergonomic handle (3) for easy gripping, extended by a water spout (2) protected or not by an antibacterial protective ring; the window (4) located on the wall of the main tank allows the water level to be viewed and controlled; the opening (5), which can be located anywhere on the wall of the main tank, is equipped with a non-return valve or a filling valve to which a flexible hose is connected, via a threaded, screwed, clip, or quick-connect hose fitting, carrying water from the water supply tap to the main tank.The other end of the hose may or may not be equipped with an emergency shut-off valve connected to the inlet tap to cut off the water in case of emergency. The two separate reservoirs may or may not have equivalent volume capacity. They do not communicate with each other. The secondary reservoir (6) containing soap, a cleansing agent, a disinfectant, or a plant care product is located within the main reservoir. The secondary reservoir is either integrated directly into the overall molding of the container or consists of a bottle incorporated into a lid to hold it fixed inside a slot in the main reservoir. In either case, the secondary reservoir also has an opening (7) equipped with a system for dispensing the liquid it contains via a refill pump (8).

Description

Title of the invention: Connected container for toilet and garden.

[0001] For all people, intimate hygiene is a necessity in daily life. For some women, washing their private parts after using the toilet is a matter of cultural or religious obligation. For others, outside their homes, for example at the office, they face difficulties in maintaining the cleanliness and health of their external genitalia as they wish. Furthermore, many people use traditional items commonly called "toilet kettles" for their personal and religious hygiene, and when these kettles run dry and the toilet lacks a tap, it causes inconvenience. This invention provides a solution to these everyday problems and difficulties. It also offers a practical, easy, and comfortable solution for gardening, as the user no longer needs to make repeated trips to refill a watering can or search for plant care products.The invention is a 2-in-1 tool, suitable for both toilets and gardens, but also for holding water and another liquid, depending on its intended use.

[0002] The invention, a connected container, is a container resembling a watering can or a kettle. Its volume is divided into two compartments (reservoirs) that do not communicate with each other. One compartment (1) can hold water, and the other (6) can hold a personal hygiene product or a plant care product. The water compartment (1) has a carrying handle (3), a spout (2), a window (4) for viewing the liquid level, and an opening (5) to which a flexible hose or water pipe is connected. This hose or pipe is itself connected to a water tap, a tap, or a water supply. Not communicating with each other, the main reservoir (1) incorporates a secondary reservoir (6) which can hold soap, disinfectant, weed killer...and has an opening (7) equipped with a technical device (8) to expel the product it contains.

[0003] According to a preferred embodiment, the main tank and the secondary tank are sized according to the use for which the invention is intended, although the former is generally larger than the latter.

[0004] According to another preferred embodiment, the water connection port is equipped with or incorporates a non-return valve to prevent liquid from spilling out if the hose or flexible tube is disconnected. A valve fixed to the flexible tube or water hose allows the container to be filled with water when open.

[0005] According to another preferred embodiment, the water check valve is replaced by a shut-off valve to perform the same function.

[0006] According to another preferred embodiment, with the check valve or the shut-off valve, the invention is usable without a flexible hose or pipe.

[0007] According to another preferred embodiment, the opening for the water connection is threaded and its dimensions vary according to the use (1 / 8, 1 / 4, 3 / 8, 1 / 2, 3 / 4 ...) and can accommodate a watering type tap adapter which itself can be connected to a flexible hose or pipe whose end is equipped with a quick hose fitting.

[0008] According to another preferred embodiment, the hose or flexible pipe is integrated into or fixed directly to the opening, without the possibility of detaching it from the wall of the main tank. A shut-off valve, upstream, fixed to the flexible pipe, hose, or water inlet, allows the container to be filled.

[0009] According to another preferred embodiment, the invention is made of rubber, zinc, aluminum, PVC... and can take different shapes: rounded, oval, concave....

[0010] According to another preferred embodiment, the invention does not have a window to see the level of the liquid in the main reservoir.

[0011] According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the water connection orifice can be located in different places on the main tank: at the bottom, in the middle, higher up or on the sides.

[0012] According to another version, the secondary reservoir is located below or on a lateral side of the invention, with a device allowing the filling and dispensing of the intimate hygiene product or plant care and maintenance product. Regardless of the positioning of this reservoir, it is equipped with a removable system for filling the liquid compartment, at the end of which is a sprayer, a trigger....

[0013] According to another preferred embodiment, the device for expelling the liquid product from the secondary reservoir is not removable. It is filled by a liquid injection system.

[0014] According to another preferred embodiment, the spout of the main reservoir can accommodate a cleaning brush, a spray head, or another adaptable means. The spout could also have a technical safety and / or security device preventing any liquid from entering through this point.

[0015] According to another preferred embodiment, the main and / or secondary reservoir is filled through an opening located on the carrying handle.

[0016] According to another preferred embodiment, the secondary reservoir is glued or fixed to the outer wall of the main reservoir or to the holding handle.

[0017] According to another preferred embodiment the invention does not include a secondary reservoir.

[0018] According to another preferred embodiment, the carrying handle of the invention is positioned on one side. It may be made of webbing.

[0019] According to another preferred embodiment the invention may include, in addition to the main tank, several other secondary tanks.

[0020] Fig. 1 represents an alternative embodiment of the invention.
