Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a toilet lid with dosing dispenser for dispensing a product into a toilet bowl of a toilet, comprising a fastening area which is designed to fasten the dosing dispenser under a toilet lid, and a storage container for receiving the product. Another aspect of the invention is a method for the hygienic treatment of toilets, in particular for cleaning, disinfection and / or odor removal, with the step of dispensing an active ingredient from a storage container into the toilet bowl.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known for the purpose of cleaning, disinfection, for improving the fragrance in toilets or for coloring or preventing coloring in the area of toilet bowls, an active substance such as a cleaning agent, a disinfectant or a fragrance, optionally mixed with a dye, into a toilet bowl dose. For example, it is out US 1,510,111 It is known to provide a cavity in a lid of a toilet with a holding tank, into which a liquid disinfectant is poured and from which this disinfectant is dispensed into the holding device using a dosing device. Devices of this type are known for toilets that are not connected to the sewage system in order to ensure at least a minimum level of hygiene.

Furthermore, it is known to fasten a substantially solid product in a cage at the edge of a toilet bowl, a part of this solid product being dissolved in liquid form by the flushing water in each flushing operation of the toilet and reaching the toilet bowl.

A disadvantage of the known dosing dispenser is that either a liquid active ingredient is used that is difficult to store and its refilling is uncomfortable, particularly in the hygienically sensitive toilet area, or a solid active ingredient is used, which, however, depends on the surface depending on the dissolving action of the flushing water of the drug product can only be dosed inaccurately.

Another disadvantage of known metering dispensers is that only one active ingredient product can be metered in, which, however, is often not sufficient to meet all demands in terms of smell, hygiene and appearance due to the increased demands on toilet hygiene today.

Finally, a further disadvantage of the known device is that due to the limitation of the metering in to either liquid or solid active substances in each of the known ones Devices each have only a slight variability in the choice of the added active substances, in particular their physical state.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention had for its object to provide a toilet lid with a dispenser that reduces at least one of the aforementioned problems or at best avoids.

  which is characterized by the fact that
  1. (i) the intermediate storage channels (141, 143) and the output channel (145) are arranged parallel and adjacent to one another, so that
  2. (ii) in a first position of the toilet lid, the first temporary storage channel (141) is at least partially filled with the pre-portioned product following the force of gravity, in order to move at least one of the pre-portioned products into the second temporary storage channel (143) when the toilet lid is moved from a first to a second position ) arrives, and when the toilet lid is moved from the second to the first position, the at least one pre-portioned product reaches the dispensing channel (145) and is dispensed into a toilet bowl.

The invention overcomes a number of disadvantages of the known dosing dispenser or toilet lid with dosing dispenser, in that it is designed to store and dispense pre-portioned products. These pre-portioned products can be tablets, Pellets or similar products can be in solid form or they can be liquid or gaseous active substances or mixtures of active substances coated with a solid shell, which are then released by dissolving the solid shell, for example upon contact with water. In this way, the dosing dispenser according to the invention enables on the one hand the use and dosing of a large number of different active substances and, in addition, the storage of several pre-portioned products with different active substances in the storage container and consequently the dispensing of the different active substances from the storage container into the toilet bowl in chronological succession.

The dispensing device of the metering dispenser according to the invention can be designed, for example, in the form of flaps actuated by gravity or by means of dispensing paths resulting from the influence of gravity when the metering dispenser moves. For example, part of the dispensing device, the entire dispensing device or the entire metering dispenser can be tilted, rotated or the like in order to dispense a pre-portioned product through this movement.

According to the invention, the pre-portioned products are dispensed through a dispensing opening, which can preferably be designed so that it is at the lowest point in the first position or the closed position of the toilet lid and that it is at the highest point of the toilet lid in the second position or the open position Dispenser is located.

According to the invention, a fastening area is formed in order to fasten the metering dispenser to a toilet lid that is movably fastened to the toilet bowl, preferably to be releasably fastened. This makes it easy to retrofit toilets with the dispenser according to the invention. A detachable attachment of the dispenser enables easy refilling of the dispenser when the stock of pre-portioned products has been used up. This releasable fastening can be done, for example, using reusable adhesive strips, using a fastening frame that is fastened to the toilet lid and in turn receives the dispenser by means of a lockable, latchable or similarly acting fastening, or can be implemented in a variety of other ways.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the dispensing device is designed to move from a first position to a second position and / or from a second position when a toilet lid movably attached to the toilet bowl moves dispense at least one pre-portioned product into a first position. As a result, either the metering dispenser can be attached to the toilet lid and the dispensing device can be dispensed to dispense a pre-portioned product by moving the toilet lid relative to the direction of gravity.

It is particularly advantageous if the first position corresponds to a closed toilet lid and the second position corresponds to an opened toilet lid. For example, when opening a portioned product with quick effectiveness, i. H. faster disinfection, cleaning and / or fragrance development. When closing, a product can preferably be dispensed which develops the above-mentioned effects in a slower and longer-lasting manner. It can also be advantageous if a portioned product is dispensed both when opening and when closing, this can be the same or a different product in each case.

According to the invention, the dispensing device is to be designed such that, in a first position, at least one pre-portioned product enters the dispensing device from the storage container following the influence of gravity, and that when the dispensing device moves from the first position into a second position, a predetermined number of pre-portioned products follows a gravitational influence into the Toilet bowl is issued. In this way, for example, a product can be dispensed each time a toilet lid is opened and / or closed.

It is advantageous that the dispensing device comprises an intermediate storage area connected to the storage container, which is designed such that it is at least partially filled with pre-portioned products from the storage container following the influence of gravity in a first position, and that when the dispensing device is moved from the first position to a second position, the predetermined number of pre-portioned products is dispensed into the toilet bowl through a dispensing area following the influence of gravity. In this way, a predetermined number of products can be kept in the intermediate storage area and these products or a part of these products can be output when moving into the second position.

As an alternative to this, it is advantageous that the output device comprises: a first intermediate storage area connected to the storage container, which is designed such that it is at least partially filled with pre-portioned products in a first position, a second intermediate storage area connected to the first intermediate storage area, in the case of Moving the dispensing device from the first into the second position reaches at least one pre-portioned product, and an dispensing area connected to the second intermediate storage area, through which when the dispensing device is moved the second in the first position, the at least one pre-portioned product is dispensed. In this way, a predetermined number of products can be kept in the first buffer area or the products can be fed to the first buffer area and then a predetermined number of products can be kept in the second buffer area. The products held in the first or second buffer area or a part of these products can then be output when moving into the first position.

In principle, the metering dispenser according to the invention can be designed with a diverse number of buffer areas. The intermediate storage areas can each be arranged such that a predetermined number of products from one intermediate storage area reach the next intermediate storage area each time the output area is moved from the first to the second position or vice versa.

It is possible to further modify the previously described alternative by providing a number N of further buffer storage areas, each of which is connected to one another in such a way that when the dispensing device moves alternately between the first and the second position, the predetermined number of pre-portioned products reaches the next buffer storage area , wherein the last of the N buffer areas is connected to the dispensing area, through which the pre-portioned products are dispensed when the dispenser is moved alternately again.

With this modification, with a certain arrangement of the dispensing device, an output is achieved when the number N is even when moving from the second position to the first position and when the number is odd N when the same arrangement is used, an output is achieved when moving from the first position to the second position.

According to the invention, the intermediate storage areas and the output area of the output device are designed as adjacent channels which can run in parallel and are preferably separated from one another by a common partition.

The advantage of these two variants is, inter alia, that the dispensing device itself dispenses with moving parts entirely or partially, even for the individual dispensing of counted portioned products. The associated dispensing device can, if appropriate, itself be fastened to the metering dispenser so that it can move in order to be able to assume the positions described in relation to the direction of gravity. However, this is also particularly advantageous if the dispensing device is immovably attached to the metering dispenser and the corresponding positions in relation to the direction of gravity are achieved by moving the entire metering dispenser, in particular rotating, tilting or the like, which can be achieved particularly easily, for example. if the dispenser is attached to a movable component such as the toilet lid.

Furthermore, the dispensing device can comprise guideways for the product to be dispensed, which are arranged in such a way that the products are mutually inhibited and this inhibition only results in the output of a predetermined number of products when moving from the first to the second position.

A further development of the metering dispenser according to the invention comprises a portioning device for dispensing a predetermined number of the pre-portioned product. This portioning device can advantageously be arranged in the transition to the output area or between the intermediate storage areas. You can by movable, preferably gravity-operated flaps, locks, pawls or the like. be formed or in the form of an opening for the passage which is arranged correspondingly with respect to the force of gravity and the output region or the intermediate storage regions.

The portioning device can preferably be arranged between the intermediate storage area and the dispensing area or between the first and the second intermediate storage area and can be designed such that in the first position a predetermined number of pre-portioned products from the intermediate storage area or the first intermediate storage area follow a gravitational influence into the portioning device entry.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the portioning device comprises a passage area with a first section through which a portioned product can pass and with a second section through which a portioned product can only partially pass, the first and second sections being designed in this way that a product that has entered the output area or the second buffer area through the first section prevents a product that has partially passed through the second section from entering the output area or the second buffer area. The passage area can be designed, for example, in the form of an elongated opening, the width of which widens in the direction of movement of the products in such a way that a product cannot pass completely through in the initial area of the opening (the second section) and completely pass through in the end area of the opening (the first section) can. Another variant of the passage area consists of two openings arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement of the products, the first opening being too small for a complete passage of the products and the second opening permitting complete passage. In this way, the first product can be used to prevent the products following the first product from being released at the same time as they are moved into the second position.

In particular, the first and second sections can be designed in such a way that a product that has partially passed through the second section prevents a product that has passed through the first section into the dispensing area or the second intermediate storage area from being dispensed into the toilet bowl. The advancing products can thus prevent the first product from being dispensed in the first position.

In the two aforementioned variants, the second section of the passage area can preferably be an opening section that continuously decreases from the first section or an opening section with a cross-sectional jump compared to the first section. In this way, a geometrically simple arrangement of opening sections is achieved which allows partial or complete passage of the products.

It is furthermore advantageous if the intermediate storage area or the first intermediate storage area is designed as an intermediate storage channel or first intermediate storage channel, at least in the area of the first and second section of the portioning device, and preferably there at least partially has a height that is less than the product height. By selecting the height of the channels, self-locking is achieved in a particularly safe and structurally simple manner. When dimensioning the ducts, make sure that they are dimensioned in all areas so that a pre-portioned product that runs individually through the ducts can pass through them unhindered. The height reduction of the channel that takes place in the passage area, in particular in the second section of the passage area between the two channels, can take place, since the products in this area partially protrude into the other channel.

According to the invention, the output device includes a buffer section connected to the buffer area or the first buffer area, in which a predetermined, preferably adjustable number of pre-portioned products can be buffered. In this way, a predetermined number of products is easily dispensed. This number of products can be composed, for example, of the number of products that have entered the intermediate storage section and the products that have already entered the output area or the second intermediate storage area.

The portioning device can include an adjusting device for manual adjustment of the number of pre-portioned products to be dispensed. This adjusting device can be designed, for example, in the form of a longitudinal or rotary slide.

In particular, it can be advantageous if the intermediate storage section is designed as an extension of the intermediate storage area or the first intermediate storage area, the first end of which allows pre-portioned products to enter the intermediate storage section from the intermediate storage area or the first intermediate storage area and the second end of which is provided by a movable shut-off device is closed. The intermediate storage section thus formed in the form of a cul-de-sac can temporarily accommodate the products to be dispensed in the first position and the products received there are then forwarded to the output area or the second intermediate storage area when moving to the second position.

It is particularly advantageous if the movable shut-off device can be displaced into a plurality of latching positions spaced apart from one another, the spacing of which from one another corresponds approximately to the product dimension in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate storage section. So a certain, adjustable number of products can be output, which can preferably be recognized from the outside by means of markings

To further develop the invention, it is advantageous to provide a component that is detachably attached to the dispenser, preferably a dispensing area designed as a product guide channel, which is designed such that when the component is fastened to the dispenser when moving the dispenser from a first to a second position, a pre-portioned one Product is dispensed, and when the component is not attached to the dispenser when moving the dispenser from the second to a third position, which is preferably identical to the first position, a pre-portioned product is dispensed. With this component, the dosing dispenser according to the invention can be adapted to the desired application. In this way, the component can be added or removed in order to correspondingly switch from dispensing the product when opening to dispensing the product when closing the toilet lid, or vice versa.

In addition, it is advantageous if a switchover device cooperating with the dispensing device is present, with a first switchover position in which a pre-portioned product is dispensed when the dispensing device is moved from a first to a second position, and a second switchover position in which when the dispensing device is moved a pre-portioned product is dispensed from the second to a third position, which is preferably identical to the first position. This makes it easier for the user to switch between output when opening or closing. The switching device can consist, for example, of a lock for an output channel or for an output opening.

The switchover device can comprise a shut-off device which, in the first position, enables the pre-portioned products to be dispensed from a second buffer area, as described above, and does not enable this dispensing in the second position. The shut-off device can function as a guiding or locking device and can be arranged in the area of the second intermediate storage area or the output area.

It is particularly advantageous for a structurally simple embodiment if the dispensing device is immovably attached to the dispenser.

It is also advantageous if at least a portion of the wall of the toilet lid according to the invention, which delimits the storage container, is transparent for the purpose of filling level control. The transparent section can be designed, for example, as an elongated viewing window. Furthermore, the dosing dispenser can be made completely according to this variant a transparent material, for example a transparent plastic, so that the level control is particularly easy and, moreover, an aesthetic effect is achieved.

It is also advantageous if the storage container is designed to hold refill magazines with pre-portioned products. A particularly simple refillability of the metering dispenser is achieved in this way.

Finally, a further advantageous development is that the pre-portioned products are spherical. Spherical products have the advantage that, due to their good rolling ability, they are particularly easy to dispense and portion in all directions and do not tend to form unintended mutual blockages or congestion.

The pre-portioned products preferably have a dimension which makes it possible to achieve the desired cleaning, disinfection and / or fragrance effect by portioning in each case a pre-portioned product. For this purpose, dimensions of 4 to 25 mm have proven useful in the case of customary active compound compositions, in particular the formulation examples listed below. A dimension of the pre-portioned products that is between 5 and 15 mm is particularly suitable. On the one hand, these dimensional ranges define a product which is easy to handle and which can be stored in a metering dispenser with small dimensions, in particular a low overall height, and on the other hand, the amount of product is sufficient for the desired effect. These dimensions generally define a cube-shaped envelope body with the corresponding edge length, from which the pre-portioned products are enclosed. In the case of a cubic pre-portioned product, these dimensions can be the edge length of the product itself. In the case of the preferred spherical product, these dimensions represent the diameter of the product.

The toilet lid according to the invention with dosing dispenser can furthermore have a second dispensing device by means of which a portioned product can be dispensed into the toilet bowl. In this way, the products can be dispensed when opening and closing.

This training can be further improved by a second storage container which interacts with the second dispensing device. This is particularly advantageous if a first portioned product is to be dispensed when moving from a first to a second position, e.g. B. a product that quickly unfolds its effect, and when moving from the second to the first position a second, differently portioned product is to be dispensed, for example a product that slowly unfolds its effect. In this variant, the two storage containers can be filled with the same or different products and then the two portioned products can be dispensed at the same time or at different times.

This variant can be further developed by the second dispensing device being further developed as described above, wherein a pre-portioned product is dispensed from the first storage container when the first dispensing device is moved from a first to a second position and a pre-portioned product is dispensed the second storage container when the second dispensing device is moved from the second into the first position. In this way, a particularly simple structural design of the double-dose dispenser is achieved.

Another aspect is a refill magazine for a dispenser of the type described above.

The invention comprises a lid for a toilet with a dispenser attached to it, with a storage container which is designed to hold pre-portioned products, and an output device which is designed to dispense at least one pre-portioned product from the storage container into the toilet bowl. With such a lid, the dosing dispenser described above can be integrated in a particularly elegant manner and an overall more pleasing overall picture can be achieved than when a dosing dispenser is subsequently attached to a commercially available toilet lid. Furthermore, with the lid with at least partially integrated metering dispenser, better use can be made of the available space.

Finally, a further aspect of the invention is a method for cleaning, disinfecting, removing odors and / or scenting toilets comprising dispensing a pre-portioned product from a lid as described above into the toilet bowl, in that the lid attached to the toilet bowl is relative to the toilet bowl from a first Position is moved to a second position or from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position.

The application of this method is of particular interest in the public area or in the area of commercially used toilets in order to achieve reliable and low hygiene costs in the toilet area which cause personnel costs.

In the in Figure 2b shown first position according to the attachment of the dispenser Figure 1 corresponds to the position when the toilet lid 101 is closed, the balls 30 are located following the force of gravity due to the trapezoidal shape of the storage container 20 in an area 22 of the storage container 20 connected to an output device 40 and in the output device 40.

The output device 40 shown comprises a buffer channel 41, which defines a rolling path for the balls 31-34 in a first direction, which is shown in FIG Figure 2b is marked with an arrow 42.

The dispenser 40 is located in FIG Figure 2b shown first position, ie when attaching the dosing dispenser Figure 1 , the position when the toilet lid 101 is closed, the balls 31-34 enter the storage channel 41 from the storage container.

An output channel 43, which defines a second rolling direction, which is identified by arrow 44, is arranged parallel and adjacent to the intermediate storage channel 41.

The intermediate storage channel 41 and the output channel 43 are separated from one another by a partition wall 50, in which a connection area 51a-c is located.

The connection area 51a-b has in a first, in Figure 4a Alternative 51a shown a first section 52a, through which the balls can pass from the intermediate storage channel 41 into the output channel 43. For this purpose, the first section is essentially circular and has a diameter D that is larger than the diameter of the balls 31-34.

The first section 52a is followed by a second section 53a, the width of which is constant and is dimensioned so small that the balls 31-34 can only project with part of their volume from the intermediate storage channel 41 through the second section 53a into the output channel 43 .

In a second, in Figure 4b Alternative 51b shown, the opening 51b has a first section 52b, through which the balls 31-34 can pass completely, and which is followed by a second section 53b, the width of which continuously decreases from the width required for a ball passage. The opening 51b is consequently formed in the form of an elongated hole which widens continuously in the direction 42. The balls rolling into the area of the opening 51b in the direction 42 can therefore initially only protrude in the second section 53b with part of their volume from the intermediate storage channel 41 into the output channel 43. The further the balls move in the direction of the first section 52b, the larger the volume of the balls 31-34 protruding into the discharge channel 43 and when the balls get into the first section 52b, they can fall completely into the discharge channel 43.

According to a third alternative Figure 4c The passage area 51c is designed in the form of two spaced-apart holes 52c, 53c, of which the first hole 53c has a diameter which is too small for the balls to pass completely through and the second hole 53c has a diameter which permits the balls to pass completely through.

The output device according to Figure 2a-c is designed to dispense a ball when the dispenser is moved from the first position to the second position, that is, when arranged according to Figure 1 when the toilet lid is opened. The output process is based on Figures 2a-c explained:
If the dispensing device is in the first position, the balls roll out of the storage container into the intermediate storage channel 41 and in this intermediate storage channel 41 to the end in which the opening 51 is located.

The ball 31 rolling foremost enters the first section 52a, b of the opening 51a, b and falls through this first section into the discharge channel 43. Due to the inclined position of the dispenser, the first ball 31 cannot roll further into the discharge channel 43. Due to the reduced height of the discharge channel 43 in the area of the opening 51a, b, part of the ball 31 protrudes into the intermediate storage channel 41 and thus prevents further rolling and passage of the subsequent balls 32-34, so that a ball arrangement is appropriate Figure 2b results.

If the output device according to Figure 2c Moved into the second position, the balls 32-34 roll in the direction opposite to arrow 42. The ball 31 cannot roll in the direction according to arrow 44 immediately after moving the dispenser from the first to the second position, since it passes through the volume of the ball 32 which has passed through the section 53a, b is blocked in the discharge channel 43.

Only when the ball 32 has rolled away from the second section 53a, b of the opening 51a, b can the ball 31 roll in the direction of the arrow 44 following the discharge channel 43 and be discharged through an outlet opening 46.

Figures 3a-e show a second alternative which is designed to dispense pre-portioned products when the metering dispenser is moved from a second to a first position, that is to say when arranged according to Figure 1 , when closing the toilet lid.

The alternative shown is in Figure 3a shown in a second position, which corresponds to a position with the toilet lid open. In the Figure 3a The situation shown corresponds to the situation after initial assembly or after refilling the metering dispenser according to the invention. If the dispenser from the in Figure 3a shown second position in the in Figure 3b shown first position moves, which corresponds to the position when the toilet lid is closed, the balls 30 enter from a storage container 120 into a first intermediate storage channel 141 of an output device 140.

The ball 131 rolling to the front falls through an opening 151, which can be designed in accordance with the opening 51a, b, into a second intermediate storage channel 143 and blocks the subsequent ball 132 in this position, the volume of which partially projects through the opening 151.

If the dispenser is moved from this first position back to the second position, as in Figure 3c , d shown, the first ball 131 moves through a second buffer channel 143 into the connection area between the second buffer channel 143 and an output channel 145. The remaining balls 132, 133 roll back into the storage container 120.

At the in Figure 3d shown second position, which corresponds to the normal position after opening and closing the toilet lid several times, the ball 131 is located in the area between the second buffer channel 143 and the output channel 145.

The metering device is moved from this second position into the first position Figure 3e moves, i.e. the toilet lid is closed, the ball 131 moves through the discharge channel 145 and is discharged through the outlet opening 146.

Figure 5a and b show a third alternative of the dispenser according to the invention, which can be changed with regard to the dispensing condition by plugging in a product guide channel.

At the in Figure 5a Constellation of this alternative shown, the dispenser works like the dispenser that is related to Figure 2a-c has been described, ie the metering dispenser has an intermediate storage channel 241 and an output channel 243. In this constellation, a product is dispensed when the metering dispenser is moved from a first to a second position.

Will the in Figure 5a separately shown product guide channel 260 to the dispenser according to Figure 5a the second constellation according to FIG. 5b results. In this second Constellation corresponds to the dosing dispenser with reference to the Figures 3a-e described alternatives. The channel section previously functioning as buffer channel 241 takes on the function of the first buffer channel, the channel section previously functioning as output channel 243 takes over the function as second buffer channel 243 and the product guide channel 260 used forms the output channel 245. In this second constellation, a product is dispensed when the Dosing dispenser is moved from the second to the first position.

Figure 6 shows the representation according to Figure 5a . In this illustration, it can be clearly seen in particular that a trough-shaped region 223 is formed on the underside of the storage container 220, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the storage container and has a width that is slightly larger than the product dimension in the transverse direction. The trough-shaped shape of the storage container in the lower area has proven to be particularly advantageous in order to ensure a reliable supply of products to the dispensing area without mutual blocking or inhibition of the balls in the storage container, in particular in the area of the entry of the balls from the storage container into the Dispenser to avoid. The trough-shaped shape 223 has generally proven itself for all claimed embodiments of the metering dispenser according to the invention and is not in accordance with the alternative Figure 5a, b limited.

Figure 7 shows a metering dispenser which is designed as a closer, that is, dispenses products when moving from the second position (open toilet lid) to the first position (closed toilet lid). In this form, in accordance with the design, Fig. 6 , also dispensed with the formation of a trough-shaped configuration in the lower part of the storage container.

In the in the Figures 7-9 Variants shown are arranged in the interior of the storage container, ball guide plates 370, 371, which are arranged in the region of the entry of the balls from the storage container into the dispensing device. The ball guide plates 370, 371 extend over the entire connection area between the storage container and the dispensing device and are aligned in the longitudinal direction to the direction of movement of the balls when they enter the dispensing device. The ball guide plates 370, 371 enclose the entry into the dispensing device on both sides and are spaced apart from one another somewhat more than the width of the products in the transverse direction. The distance of the ball guide plates 370, 371 preferably corresponds to the width of the channel as shown in FIG Figure 6 .

Figures 10a, b show a further device in which a switching device is present to change the dispenser from dispensing a product when moving from the first to the second position to dispense a product when moving from the second to the first position.

The representation according to Figure 10b corresponds to the running of the products according to the Figures 3a-e . The representation according to Figure 10a, b however deviates from the alternative accordingly Figure 3a - e in that the output channel 445 is in the area of the transition between the second buffer channel 443 and the output channel 445 is closed by a slide 480. The slider 480 is arranged exactly in the area in which the balls in the position according to Figure 3d in the area between the second buffer channel 443 and the output channel 445.

If the slide 480 is closed, as in Figure 10b shown, the ball cannot leave the discharge channel 445 through a second discharge opening 447 closed by the slide 480, but must follow the discharge channel 445 and exit through the first discharge opening 446. The dispenser according to Figure 10a, b is therefore configured with the slide closed to dispense a product when moving from the second to the first position Figure 3a - e .

However, if the slider is opened, as in Figure 10a the product can leave the area between the second buffer channel 443 and the output channel 445 through the second output opening 447. The product is therefore, referring to Figures 3a-e already when moving the dispenser out of the Figure 3b shown first position in the in Figure 3c shown second position output. The dispenser according to Figure 10a, b therefore works in the in Figure 10a Configuration shown with the slide open as that with reference to the Figures 2a-c The described description and dispenses a product when the metering dispenser is moved from the first to the second position through the second dispensing opening 447.

Figures 11a, b show a variant of the representation according to Figure 10a , b. In this variant, the slide 580 is arranged in the region between the second intermediate storage channel 543 and the output channel 545 and closes a second output opening 547 which is formed in the partition between the second intermediate storage channel 543 and the output channel 545. Is the slide 580 open, as in Figure 11a the product is dispensed through the first dispensing opening 547 when the metering dispenser is moved from the second to the second position.

If the slide 580 is closed, the in Figure 11b the product passes through the closed opening 547 when the metering dispenser is moved from the first to the second position and is dispensed through the first dispensing opening 546 when the metering dispenser is moved from the second and the first position.

At the in Figure 11a, b In the variant shown, the discharge channel 545 is somewhat shortened compared to the illustration according to FIGS.

Now referring to Figures 12 a - c shows a variant of the dispensing device of the metering dispenser according to the invention, in which two product balls are dispensed from the metering dispenser during one dispensing process. The alternative shown includes a cache channel 641, which is the cache channel as shown Figure 2 or the first buffer channel as shown Figure 3 can be. The buffer channel 641 has an opening 651, which is larger than the product dimension, connected to a channel 643, which according to Figure 2 or as a second buffer channel according to Figure 3 can serve.

In contrast to the alternatives explained so far, the second channel 643 is as shown in FIG Figures 12a - c so high that the first ball 631 can completely enter the second channel and the subsequent ball 632 can roll into the area of the opening 651. This avoids the mutual blocking of the balls desired in the alternatives described above, on the one hand the section of the first ball projecting into the intermediate storage channel and on the other hand the section of the second ball projecting into the output channel in the representation according to FIGS. 12a-c.

If the output range according to 12a - c is from the in the Figure 12b shown first position in the in Figure 12c shown second position moves, the ball 631 can roll directly along the second channel 643 and thus allows the ball 632 to enter the second channel 643, so that this ball 632 does not roll back into the product store like the other balls. The ball 632 follows the ball 631 and is output (when the output device is designed according to FIGS. 2a-c) or reaches the area between the second buffer channel and the output channel (when the further output device is designed according to FIG Figure 3a - e ).

In this way it is achieved that exactly two pre-portioned products are dispensed when the metering dispenser is moved from the first to the second position or from the second to the first position.

Figures 13a - d show another alternative to dispensing two balls. In this variant, the breakthrough 751 is formed between the buffer channel 741 and the second channel 743, as in the case of those in relation to FIG Figures 1-11 Descriptions described. However, the height of the second channel 743 is dimensioned such that the first ball 731 does not prevent the second ball 732 from rolling further, so that this second ball 732 can reach an extension 748 of the intermediate storage channel 741 designed as a dead end. In the first position of the metering dispenser, the balls are arranged in accordance with Figure 13c . If the metering dispenser is moved from this first position into the second position, the second ball 732 displaces the third ball 733, so that this third ball 733 rolls back into the intermediate store. The second ball 732, on the other hand, falls through the opening 751 and follows the first ball 731 through the second channel, that is to say through the output channel or for intermediate storage in the area between the second intermediate storage channel and the output channel.

Figures 14a - c show a further development of the variant according to Figure 13 a - e. In this embodiment, the length of the dead end area 848 is limited by a variable slide 890. Depending on the position of the variable slide 890, the dead end area 848 can accommodate one, two or more balls. The balls received in the cul-de-sac area 848 all follow the first ball 831, so that a metered delivery of any one Number of balls can be reached in each dispensing process and the number of balls to be dosed can be adjusted via the slide 890.

Figure 15 shows a modified alternative of the variant according to Figures 14 a-c. In this illustration, the slide 990 is provided with a clamp below the dead end area 948. The functionality of the variant according to Figure 15 is further similar to that according to Figure 14a - c .

Referring now to the Figures 16 , 17a, b A further alternative is shown in which the storage container is generally triangular in cross section, the base surface 1023 of the storage container being used for fastening to the toilet lid. The storage container of the metering dispenser according to the invention can be designed in a variety of ways with regard to its geometry. In particular, in many of the alternatives mentioned, cross-sectional designs that are rounded compared to the approximately triangular shape, such as elliptical, semicircular or round designs, are advantageous. An essential feature of the cross section is a storage volume provided by the cross section and the possibility of collecting the products at a deep point or area of the container.

On one of the two side surfaces 1024 of the storage container, the ball guide with intermediate storage channel and output channel and possibly a second intermediate storage channel is formed. This lateral ball guide has a number of advantages.

Thus, the natural slope provided by the inclined arrangement of the side wall of the storage container is used to arrange the intermediate storage and discharge channels in a manner arranged one above the other relative to the direction of gravity.

The variant according to Figure 16 , 17a, b also has the advantage that an optically appealing design is realized, in which, if the walls of the ball guide are made of transparent material, it is possible for the user of the device to follow the movement of the balls in an apparently interesting manner.

This alternative also has the advantage that one side of the storage container, for example the one on which the ball guide is not attached, can be designed as a refillable container that can be retrofitted and can be connected to the rest of the device.

The ball guide can also be formed directly in the side wall of the container and can thus be part of the refill package together with the storage container formed thereon.

Another advantage of this alternative is that the side arrangement enables a space-saving arrangement of several intermediate storage channels. This improves the late delivery of the products, which is often problematic, particularly with openers, and in particular with a full storage container often only takes place when the toilet lid is almost completely open, if only one intermediate storage channel is provided. However, if there are more intermediate storage channels, for example three, the product can be dispensed even at small opening angles.

The lateral arrangement of the channels also allows an overall flat design and thereby, in particular if there are several channels, prevents the metering dispenser from building too high, ie projecting too far from the toilet lid. On the one hand, this could have the disadvantage that the metering dispenser is wetted by splashing water when the lid is closed, and on the other hand, a user can get caught in his clothing with the lid open or be disturbed by it.

Figure 17a shows in a cross section according to Figure 17b the arrangement of the path planes of the ball guide 1040, which is staggered vertically to one another. Shown is a variant which functions as a break contact, as shown in Figure 2a-c , the alternative according to Figure 17a , b has three buffer areas.

Finally show Figures 18 and 19th a further device in which two separate storage containers are provided, each of which cooperates with an output device. This output device can, on the one hand, according to the output device Figure 2 and on the other hand according to the output device Figure 3 be trained. According to the alternative Figures 18 and 19th different output modalities of the products can be achieved. On the one hand, two different products can be dispensed each time the toilet lid is opened (from the first to the second position) or each time the toilet lid is closed (from the second to the first position), in that the reservoir 1120 with a first product and the reservoir 1120 'is filled with a second product and the dispensing devices 1140 and 1140' both as "openers" (according to Figure 2a-c ) or both "NO contacts" (according to Figure 3a-c ) be formed.

Alternatively, you can use the variant according to Figures 18 and 19th the same product can be dispensed each time the toilet lid is opened or closed by filling the storage containers 1120 and 1120 'with the same product and designing the dispensing device 1140 of the storage container 1120 as an opener and the dispensing device 1140' of the storage container 1120 'as a closer is trained.

Finally, alternatively, the output of various products when opening and closing can be realized by filling the storage containers 1120 and 1120 'with various products and designing the output device 1140, 1140', as in the variant described above.

The pre-portioned products can, as previously described, consist of a material in the solid state of aggregation or can comprise a shell in a solid state of aggregation which encloses a material in the liquid or gaseous state. For the cleaning, disinfection and / or fragrance effect according to the invention, a number of formulations are known to the person skilled in the art, which can be brought into the solid, liquid or gaseous form with appropriate measures and stabilized therein in order to serve as product material, wrapping material or filler material for products to serve with a wrapper.
