Device for Dispensing a Plurality of Flowable Materials
A dispenser for flowable materials includes a tube having a tube interior cavity, an open proximal end, and a distal end having a dispensing orifice. A dividing wall extends along the tube interior cavity and divides the tube into a plurality of chambers. A first flowable material is positioned in a first of the chambers. At least one additional flowable material is positioned in another of the chambers. Each of a plurality of pistons is seated in a proximal end of one of the chambers. A handle includes a plurality of pusher bars, with each pusher bar engaging one of the pistons. When one of the handle and the tube is received in the other of the handle and the tube, the handle and tube move coaxially with respect to one another, and the pistons force the flowable materials from each of the chambers out of the dispensing orifice.
Flush valve with bowl cleaning agent
A toilet cleaning system integrated with a flush valve of a toilet so that a cleaning agent is kept separate from sensitive seals of a tank of the toilet. Additionally, the toilet cleaning system provides a path for the cleaning agent solution to pass through a rim of a bowl of the toilet so that most of the toilet bowl is affected by the solution.
Strip-form WC cleaning product
A strip-form toilet cleaning product comprising a width (B), a height (H) and a thickness (S), wherein the ratio between width (B), height (H) and thickness (S) is between 1:1:0.01 and 1:0.1:0.2, a first extruded phase and at least one second extruded phase, wherein at least the contour of a contact surface (4, 4a, 4b) along the center axis (8) takes the form of a sine wave which has an amplitude of A.sub.1,O, wherein the ratio of amplitude to width (B) A.sub.1,O:B amounts to between 1:10 and 1:25 and the periodic length of the sine wave corresponds to 0.1-1 times the width (B) of the toilet cleaning product.
Urinal apparatus with consumable cap
The improved urinal apparatus is configured for insertion in an outlet of a urinal. The urinal apparatus includes a hollow body defining an upper housing and a clamp ring/lower housing. The upper housing provides an open chamber configured to receive and retain a consumable detergent/malodour counteractant and the clamp ring/lower housing is configured to support and retain a resealing valve, which is operable to allow flow of fluid, such as urine, from above, but is operable to prevent backflow from below the resealing valve. The urinal apparatus also includes a consumable cap element, which includes an axial opening at least partway through, wherein the opening is configured to receive at least part of the upper housing. A body of the cap element comprises a plurality of radially extending fins. One of the upper housing or the consumable cap element comprise an upper member comprising an array of holes, which facilitate fluid flow and insertion and extraction of the urinal apparatus as a unit.
Water conserving toilet disinfectant dispenser
A water conserving toilet disinfectant dispenser uniformly dispenses a solid disinfecting composition in the water that is flushed by the toilet, which then flows across the toilet bowl. The disinfectant dispenser includes a perforated container that retains a solid disinfecting composition. The disinfectant dispenser also includes a coupling conduit having a top end that mates with, and receives water from, a refill tube integral in toilet tank. The coupling conduit also has a bottom end that discharges the water at an angle into the overflow tube, so as to minimize splashing and water waste over the rim. The dispenser further includes a tension leg that clips to the top rim of the overflow tube to retain the dispenser in an upright position. The tension leg is elongated and has a grip layer at the inner face that maintains stability for the container, even under turbulence from water entering overflow tube.
URINAL APPARATUS WITH CONSUMABLE CAP
The improved urinal apparatus is configured for insertion in an outlet of a urinal. The urinal apparatus includes a hollow body defining an upper housing and a clamp ring/lower housing. The upper housing provides an open chamber configured to receive and retain a consumable detergent/malodour counteractant and the clamp ring/lower housing is configured to support and retain a resealing valve, which is operable to allow flow of fluid, such as urine, from above, but is operable to prevent backflow from below the resealing valve. The urinal apparatus also includes a consumable cap element, which includes an axial opening at least partway through, wherein the opening is configured to receive at least part of the upper housing. A body of the cap element comprises a plurality of radially extending fins. One of the upper housing or the consumable cap element comprise an upper member comprising an array of holes, which facilitate fluid flow and insertion and extraction of the urinal apparatus as a unit.
System and Methods for Storing and Dispensing a Flowable Material
A system for applying a flowable material to a surface that includes an applicator and a storage pod is disclosed. The storage pod may have a housing and a lid that engage each other to form an interior cavity that contains a flowable material. The applicator receives the storage pod and has a pusher mechanism to apply a force to the housing causing the housing to collapse. As the housing collapses, the flowable material is expelled from the storage pod. The applicator may be a reusable applicator where the storage pods can be used and reloaded, or a single use disposable applicator.
FLUSH VALVE WITH BOWL CLEANING AGENT
A toilet cleaning system integrated with a flush valve of a toilet so that a cleaning agent is kept separate from sensitive seals of a tank of the toilet. Additionally, the toilet cleaning system provides a path for the cleaning agent solution to pass through a rim of a bowl of the toilet so that most of the toilet bowl is affected by the solution.
