FR2670377A1 - Dispenser of liquid cleaning agents for swabs, paper towels, sponges and toilet paper: syphon-operated system - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for dispensing clean liquids for wetting absorbent products used for cleaning by hand. The invention relates to a device which avoids the drawbacks of cleaning up with dry means, or after a delay, with manual cleaning products. It does so by providing washing or neutral agents ready to hand and permanently in sufficient quantity in a sponge and a secondary container where the user will wet the selected products. Horizontally with the aid of the pivot (4), the main container (5) filled with some appropriate liquid through the inlet hole (10) with the aid of the lip (8) can in turn fill the secondary container (9) and the sponge (7) through the passage (14) at all times, by virtue of the resulting syphon action. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to wet toilet paper, sponges and cotton swabs at their places of use.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Device for dispensing liquid detergents for toilet paper, operating by a siphon system.

 The present invention relates to a device for dispensing suitable liquids, for wetting manual absorbent cleaning products in their places of use, at any time.

 On the one hand, the toilet paper currently used is dry, which results in an obvious poor cleaning of the buttocks of the user after his needs, with what it can cause as nuisances such as: bad odors, itching, dirt, resulting in poor hygiene. We find the disadvantages comparable to those of a body wash made with a dry washcloth without soap.

On the other hand, the other household cleaning products such as: cotton, sponges, paper towels, paper cloths and fabrics, are, in the majority of the cases, impregnated by the user with washing, deodorant, disinfectant or neutral liquid. , like water, thanks to original containers containing the chosen liquid, duly closed by a few more or less well-developed opening systems, difficult to use quickly. The current containers of detergent products have a majority mode of pouring in jet, to wet the cleaning articles, requiring in addition the use of both hands of the user, making the maneuver long and painful. These are generally stored inside cabinets or other storage not necessarily near the place of their usefulness, nor within reach or easy to access. If necessary, these containers are in plain view , in their various original containers, without order or harmony for the room in the house where they are stored.

 The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. The present invention provides by a siphon system, the constant distribution of liquid suitable for wetting hand cleaning objects. This liquid is permanently in a secondary vase for strong wetting preferably cleaning objects, or on a sponge for less wetting.

The device according to this invention is very practical, easy and quick to use, since it is in its place of use, close at hand, without any mode of opening to access the detergent product.

The aforementioned advantages are further accentuated by the fact that the device offers two contiguous modes of wetting, either by a sponge or by a secondary vase (depending on the absorbent cleaning product to be impregnated), further requiring the use of a single hand of the user, whereas both were necessary for the same operation.

The device according to the invention placed in the toilet, allows the user to wet a desired liquid, whether it is disinfectant, deodorant or neutral like water, his toilet paper previously used dry, thus making cleaning more hygienic and more immediate.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Plate 1 represents in a perspective perspective to scale, the device according to the invention, the wall fastener (2), and sponge (7) out of its cockpit.

Plate 2 shows in a side view on scale 1, the entire device according to the invention.

Plate 3 represents, in a view of. facing ladder 1, the set: nble of the device according to the invention, without the wall fastener (2).

Plate 4 represents, in a top view on scale 1, the entire device according to the invention, without the sponge (7).

Note the arrows in strong lines, on drawings 1-2-4, between the entire device, and the clips (1) of the wall clip, showing the direction and direction of their assemblies. The four drawing boards are shown empty of liquid, without the two wall fixing screws which should be through the two holes (3).

 With reference to these drawings, the device preferably fixed to the wall or possibly placed on the ground on its skirt (12), comprises a main vessel (5) which is filled with a certain detergent liquid through the supply orifice (10 ) located at the base of the aforementioned vase. The device is filled, with the chosen content being in the original packaging of liquid detergents or neutral agents such as water, sold in shops in the department concerned. This maneuver is made easy thanks to the lip (8) for guiding the liquid and to the momentary approximate horizontal pivoting of the assembly, using the pivot (4) held in the clamps (1) of the wall fastener (2 ) by the handle slot (11) that the user will have in hand for this purpose. The handle slot (11) is inserted into the skirt (12) of the front face of the device.

It should be noted that the entire device can be detached entirely from its wall attachment, for filling the main vessel in another place, or simply for easier cleaning of the entire device, always thanks to the handle slot (11) combined with its hooking mode of ~ the assembly 1-2-3-4.

The full of the liquid thus made, and the device returned to normal vertical position, facilitated by the pads (6), the liquid will propagate in the secondary vessel (9) which is at the base of the main vessel through the orifice. feed (10), without ever exceeding the level of the liquid in drawing 2, thanks to the siphon system thus created. The liquid continues to propagate through the communication (14) in the receptacle (15) where the sponge (7) which is held there by the edges (13), will soak.

The hydraulic equilibrium conditions are restored automatically after use or evaporation of the detergent liquid.

This will create a reserve of chosen liquid, constant in quantity in the secondary vessel (9) as well as in the sponge (7) of the receptacle (15), provided that there is a minimum level of liquid in the vessel primary (15) in drawing 2.

The user must for a strong wetting, soak his household item such as sponge or cotton, in the secondary vase, or for less wetting, press the sponge (7) preferably with toilet paper or paper towel, user choice and needs.

The device according to the invention is very competitive, because it reaches a very large audience, or even the whole, for a low cost price.

 By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have the dimensions of drawings 2-3-4 of scale 1, and a triangle shape which, depending on the aspect and the autonomy sought, may change.

The two assemblies of the device, namely the wall fastener (2) and the monobloc assembly, primary vessel, secondary vessel and receptacle, will preferably be made of thermoplastic material in a single injection molding operation.

The sponge (7) will be of animal origin, even vegetable, cut to the dimensions of the receptacle (15). As a temporary replacement, this can be changed to a cotton stuffing.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for wetting toilet paper in toilets with an appropriate liquid, all located next to the toilet paper dispenser.

- cotton or paper cloth in the bathroom with a certain lotion, within easy reach of the sink - sponge in the kitchen with dishwashing liquid, near the sink.
