Toilet Cleaner Dispenser with an Adjustable Substance Dispensing Amount

Abstract

Toilet cleaner dispenser for adding at least one substance preparation to a toilet bowl, comprising at least one first container having a first preparation that may be coupled to the dosing device of the toilet cleaner dispenser, wherein the toilet cleaner dispenser comprises at least one control unit and a dispenser element and/or a pump that cooperate such that at least two different, defined dispensing amounts of at least one substance preparation may be released.

1 . Toilet freshener for introducing at least one active substance preparation into a toilet bowl, comprising:
 at least one power source,   a control unit,   a release element and/or a pump, and   at least a first container with a first preparation able to be coupled to a dispenser of the toilet freshener,   wherein the at least one power source, control unit, release element and/or a pump, and container interact in such a way that at least two different, defined amounts of at least one active substance preparation is able to be released from the toilet freshener into the toilet bowl.   
   
   
       2 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one valve controlled by the control unit so that a first control signal effects opening of the valve and a second control signal effects closure of the valve, whereby a first defined amount of at least one active substance preparation is released. 
   
   
       3 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the pump is controlled by the control unit so that a first control signal effects switching on of the pump and a second control signal effects switching off of the pump, whereby a second defined amount of at least one active substance preparation is released which is different from the first amount released. 
   
   
       4 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one second container comprising a second composition, wherein the at least one second container can be coupled to the dispenser. 
   
   
       5 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the release of preparation is brought about by a first pump, which may be coupled to the first container, and a second pump, which may be coupled to the second container. 
   
   
       6 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit generates a control signal for releasing active substance preparation when flushing is initiated and generates a control signal for terminating active substance release once flush water has stopped flowing through the toilet bowl. 
   
   
       7 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the first amount released and at least the second amount released stem from the same or different active substance preparations. 
   
   
       8 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the first amount released and at least the second amount released are released at different points in time. 
   
   
       9 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit detects initiation of the flush water stream substantially without intervening in flush water flow and generates a sensor signal, which is forwarded to the control unit, which converts the sensor signal into a control signal for release of at least one preparation, and the power source, the control unit and at least the first container interact in such a manner that, in the presence of the control signal which represents initiation of the flush water stream, at least the first preparation is released from the first container into the surrounding environment by means of a pump and/or a release element. 
   
   
       10 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the pump and/or release element and at least the first preparation are configured such that a foam is formed on release of the preparation into the surrounding environment. 
   
   
       11 . Toilet freshener according to  claim 1 , wherein the release element is arranged in movable manner on the toilet freshener in such a manner that the user can orient the spray cone producible by the release element onto a desired application field.
