Device for dispensing an active-substance preparation into a toilet bowl

Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for dispensing water-soluble active-substance preparations ( 5, 6 ) into a toilet bowl, having an accommodating container ( 2 ) which is to be arranged in the toilet bowl, wherein the accommodating container ( 2 ) can be fastened on the toilet bowl, wherein the accommodating container ( 2 ) comprises at least a first chamber ( 3 ) and a second chamber ( 4 ), wherein the first chamber ( 3 ), when flushing water flows over into it, dispenses a first active-substance preparation ( 5 ) into the toilet bowl, and the second chamber ( 4 ), when flushing water flows over into it, dispenses a second active-substance preparation ( 6 ) into the toilet bowl, and wherein the chambers ( 3, 4 ) are configured such that the first active-substance preparation ( 5 ) and the second active-substance preparation ( 6 ) are dispensed into the toilet bowl at staggered intervals.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device ( 1 ) for dispensing active ingredient preparations ( 5 ,  6 ) into a toilet bowl, with an accommodating container ( 2 ) to be arranged in the toilet bowl, wherein the accommodating container ( 2 ) can be fastened on the toilet bowl, wherein the accommodating container ( 2 ) comprises at least one first chamber ( 3 ) and one second chamber ( 4 ) wherein the first chamber ( 3 ) dispenses a first active ingredient preparation ( 5 ) into the toilet bowl when overflowed by flush water, and the second chamber ( 4 ) dispenses a second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) into the toilet bowl on being overflowed by flush water, wherein the chambers first chamber ( 3 ) and second chamber ( 4 ) are designed so that the first active ingredient preparation ( 5 ) and the second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) are dispensed into the toilet boil at staggered intervals between them with the same overflow. 
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the device includes a time delay device for dispensing at least one active ingredient preparation into the toilet bowl with a time lag in comparison with a flushing operation. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the accommodating container ( 2 ) comprises a wall ( 13 ) which separates the first chamber ( 3 ) from the second chamber ( 4 ). 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second chamber ( 4 ) is disposed centrally in the accommodating container ( 2 ). 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first chamber ( 3 ), the second chamber ( 4 ) and, if present, additional chambers ( 14 ) are linked to one another. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one chamber of the first chamber ( 3 ) and the second chamber ( 4 ) comprises a time delay device ( 11 ). 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the second chamber comprises a time delay device. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one chamber of the first chamber ( 3 ) and the second chamber ( 4 ) having the time delay device ( 11 ) has at least one outlet opening which has a smaller total cross section in comparison with outlet opening(s) in chambers without a time delay device ( 11 ). 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the time delay device ( 11 ) is a pipe, which is preferably arranged on the bottom of the chamber ( 4 ) and also preferably protrudes into the chamber ( 4 ). 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the time delay device ( 11 ) is a siphon. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) comprises an active ingredient, which manifests its effect mainly after the flushing operation and is dosed. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) comprises an active ingredient which manifests its effect mainly during a flushing operation. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second active ingredient preparation ( 5 ) comprises a surface treatment agent. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 13 , wherein the surface treatment agent is a soil-repellant active ingredient. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) comprises a bleaching agent or an antimicrobial active ingredient. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second active ingredient preparation ( 6 ) comprises a water-soluble colorant. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein first active ingredient preparation and the second active ingredient preparation are present as solids in the accommodating container ( 2 ).
