Abstract
A liquid delivery device is particularly suited for dosing a toilet bowl with a viscous cleaning agent. Liquid from a reservoir 10 flows through a neck 52 into a cup 18 until the liquid level reaches the mouth 54 of the neck 52. The space 14 in cup 18 is open to atmosphere. Liquid is drawn from the cup 18 by a capillary 66 formed between the wall of cup 18 and an insert 60 and delivered on to the surface 72 of a textile layer 6. Flush water runs over textile layer 6 to carry the liquid into a toilet bowl.
Claims22
A liquid delivery device comprising a container for the liquid, a delivery surface, and means for releasing the liquid onto the delivery surface, wherein the delivery surface comprises a layer of textile material
A device for delivering a liquid product into a receiver in conjunction with a liquid flow into said receiver, the device comprising a textile layer which in use is exposed to said liquid flow, a cup disposed below the layer for receiving liquid product from a container and having a free liquid level open to atmosphere, and means for transporting the liquid product from the cup upwardly and on to the upper surface of the textile layer.
A device for delivering a liquid product into a receiver in conjunction with a liquid flow into said receiver, the device comprising a container, a surface of textile material which in use is exposed to said liquid flow, the container having an opening at a lower portion thereof, the opening having an upwardly facing mouth and being open to atmosphere, and means for transporting the liquid product from the opening to the textile, said transporting means comprising one or more capillary passages opening onto the textile.
A device for delivering a liquid product into a receiver in conjunction with a liquid flow into said receiver, the device comprising a substrate, which in use is exposed to said liquid flow, a cup disposed below the substrate for receiving liquid product from a container and having a free liquid level open to atmosphere, and means for transporting the liquid product from the cup upwardly to the substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a textile material.
A liquid delivery device comprising a container for the liquid, the container having an outlet at a lower end thereof, when the container is positioned for use, and a mouth of the outlet extending upwardly, whereby the outlet forms a reservoir of liquid at the lower end of the container, with liquid being retained in the container by atmospheric pressure, and dispersal means is provided for dispersing the liquid from the outlet, the dispersal means comprising a layer of textile material forming a delivery surface and means for delivering the liquid to the textile material.
A liquid rim product for a toilet, the product having a textile surface on which the liquid is dispersed prior to being carried into the toilet.
A liquid dispensing device for suspension from the rim of a toilet bowl, the device comprising:
- a bottle for holding a liquid to be dispensed, the bottle having a mouth,
- a base for holding the bottle, the base having a dispensing plate having an upper surface,
- a conduit from the bottle mouth to the dispensing plate, liquid transferring, in use, from the bottle onto the upper surface of the plate via the bottle mouth and the conduit,
- wherein a layer of textile material is provided on the upper surface of the dispensing plate.
