Toilet bowl composition dispenser

Abstract

Containers, in particular containers for cleaning and deodorizing products which are hung over the rim of a toilet bowl, have an outer container having an upper and a lower section. The upper section has a number of apertures, which enable flushing water to enter the container. Located within the outer container is an inner container for holding the composition in liquid or gel form. The flushing water dissolves a portion of the liquid or gel and washes back out of the apertures.
