Toilet device with indicator

Abstract

Described is a multi-function device for attachment to the tank of a toilet fixture. The multi-function device provides a diffusible air-treatment concentrate for deodorizing or otherwise treating the ambient air surrounding the toilet. At the same time, the multi-function device provides a water-soluble water-treatment concentrate for treating the flush water stored in the toilet tank. The multi-function device has an indicator to advise the consumer when replacement of user serviceable parts, such as the water treatment concentrate and the air treatment concentrate, is needed. The multi-function device has a bellows with a varying cross-sectional area to provide, during a flush cycle, a variable flow of air over the air treatment concentrate and into the air.

1 - 14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A toilet device comprising:
 an air moving part having at least a portion of which that is soluble in water over a period of time;   an air treatment part in communication with the air moving part; and   a bellows formed from an interior of the air moving part,   wherein an amount of air displaced from the bellows and delivered to the air treatment part varies through a flush cycle.   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the bellows decreases from a lower end thereof to an upper end thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the portion of the air moving part that is soluble comprises a water treatment concentrate. 
     
     
         18 . The device of chum  15 , wherein the time needed to dissolve the portion of the air moving part determines when a user shown replace user serviceable parts of the device. 
     
     
         19 . A multi-function toilet device comprising:
 an air moving part for mounting inside toilet tank;   a water treatment part containing a water treatment concentrate for mounting inside a toilet tank; an air treatment part in communication with the air moving part;   a bellows formed from an interior of the air moving part;   to space above the water treatment concentrate receiving water from the toilet tank when the water treatment concentrate needs replacement; and   a wick receiving water from the space;   wherein air displaced from the bellows moves through the air treatment part; and   wherein the wick is disposed at least partially on an exterior of the toilet tank.   
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the bellows has a differential cross-sectional area along its depth. 
     
     
         21 . The device of claim wherein:
 the water treatment part and the air moving part are attached to an interior of a toilet tank with a bracket;   the air treatment part is disposed outside a toilet tank; and   the water treatment part includes a water treatment concentrate, the water treatment concentrate being located below a water line for at least a portion of the flush cycle.   
     
     
         22 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the wick changes color when wet.
