Abstract
A toilet dispenser and light is disclosed. Upon detection and activation from sensors, a light may be used to illuminate a toilet bowl, and a treatment substance may be dispensed into the toilet bowl. The dispenser correspondingly configures to operate with the rim of a toilet bowl. Portions of the dispenser may be replaceable, such as a power source and a propellant container used to house a treatment substance. A system of multiple dispensers operable, respectively, to treat multiple toilets is also provided.
Claims20
A replaceable cartridge of an oil-based toilet water sealant, comprising:
- a frame having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lateral cavity located substantially between the distal end and the proximal end;
- a reservoir coupled to the frame;
- an oil-based toilet bowl water sealant located within the reservoir;
- a valve in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to selectively release a volume of the oil-based toilet bowl water sealant from the proximal end of the frame;
- a power source located within the lateral cavity, the lateral cavity having a distal end and a proximal end corresponding to the distal end and the proximal end of the frame, wherein the reservoir and the power source are irremovably coupled;
- and
- a power contact located at the proximal end of the lateral cavity, wherein the power contact is oriented to provide power to an external dispensing mechanism.
A replaceable cartridge of an oil-based toilet water sealant, the cartridge adapted to mate with a water surface sealant applicator having a connector for mounting the applicator to a toilet bowl, the applicator further having a controller, an actuator, a sensor, and a cartridge receptacle, the cartridge comprising:
- a frame having a distal end, a proximal end, a cylindrical section, and a rectangular section;
- a reservoir located within the cylindrical section;
- a non-polar solvent based toilet bowl water sealant located within the reservoir;
- a valve for selectively releasing the non-polar solvent based toilet bowl water sealant, wherein the valve, upon installation into the applicator, is in mechanical communication with the actuator;
- a power source located within the rectangular section, the power source, upon installation into the applicator, is in electrical communication with the controller and provides power to the sensor;
- and
- a power contact electrically connected to a power source housing and outwardly oriented on the frame.
A replaceable cartridge of a non-polar solvent based toilet bowl water sealant, comprising:
- a frame having a distal end, a proximal end, a cylindrical section, and a rectangular section;
- a reservoir located within the cylindrical section;
- a non-polar solvent based toilet bowl water sealant located within the reservoir;
- a valve in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to selectively release a volume of the non-polar solvent based toilet bowl water sealant from the proximal end of the frame;
- and
- a power source located within the rectangular section, the rectangular section having a distal end and a proximal end corresponding to the distal end and the proximal end of the frame, wherein the power source comprises at least a power contact and relevant wiring configured to provide power to an external dispensing mechanism,
- wherein the reservoir and a power source are coupled together as a single unit.
