The main body has at least one drain tube (vent). The fixture has one end fixed to the toilet tank and an opposite end fixed to the main body. The fixture allows an altitude of the main body in the toilet tank to be changed. Preferably, a top surface of the main body is not lower than a full water level of the toilet tank. By controlling a batch discharge capacity of a cleaner solution in the main body, the concentration of the cleaner solution is controlled in a desired range and the undissolved pieces of the automatic toilet bowl cleaner are retained from directly discharged, in order to eliminate unnecessary waste of the automatic toilet bowl cleaner and save water. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly with water-saving function, the toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly being configured to be installed in a toilet tank and comprising: a main body provided therein with an accommodating space for receiving an automatic toilet bowl cleaner, and provided thereon with at least one drain tube (vent), which has a batch discharge capacity smaller than an overall capacity of the main body during each flush travel of the toilet tank; and a fixture having one end fixed to the toilet tank and an opposite end fixed to the main body so as to position the main body in the toilet tank. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein the fixture is adjustable in length or adjustable in position with respect to the main body so as to allow an altitude of the main body in the toilet tank to be changed. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 2, wherein the fixture further comprises a first arm, a second arm and a fixing member, the first arm and the second arm being overlapped and fastened together by means of a fixing member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 3, wherein the first arm has a side adjacent to the second arm provided with a plurality of equidistant positioning holes while the second arm has a side adjacent to the first arm provided with at least one positioning post. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 3, wherein each of the first arm and the second arm is provided with a lengthwise slot so that when the first arm and the second arm are overlapped, a fixing member with threads is allowed to pass the two slots and fasten the first arm and the second arm together. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein the fixture has the end fixed to the toilet tank formed as a U-shaped hanging hook. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 6, wherein the hanging hook has an outer side thereof provided with a threaded hole and a knob having threads. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein drain tube (vent) is settled at a lateral of the main body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein a finely meshed filtering net is provided in the accommodating space of main body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 9, wherein the filtering net settled in the accommodating space of the main body for receiving the automatic toilet bowl cleaner. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 9, wherein the filtering net is settled at a front end of the drain tube (vent) on the main body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein a control knob is provide at the drain tube on the main body for adjusting the batch discharge capacity of the drain tube (vent). ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein the main body has a top surface higher than a full water level of the toilet tank. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein the batch discharge capacity of the drain tube (vent) on the main body is smaller than one half of the overall capacity of the main body during each said flush travel of the toilet tank. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 1, wherein a supporting member is provided in the accommodating space of the main body so as to allow a bar-shaped automatic toilet bowl cleaner settled in the main body to have a front end received in the accommodating space and immersed in water inside the toilet tank and have a rear end jutting out of the water inside the toilet tank. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 15, wherein the supporting member in the accommodating space of the main body is an inclined plate. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 16, wherein the plate is formed with a plurality of through holes. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 15, wherein the supporting member in the accommodating space of the main body is composed of at least one supporting rod. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 18, wherein plural said supporting rods are slantwise arrayed in the accommodating space of the main body. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The toilet-bowl-cleaner dispatch assembly of claim 15, wherein an extended portion is extended from one lateral of the main body for matching an inclined angle of the bar-shaped automatic toilet bowl cleaner.
