Abstract
The invention relates to an adjustable-volume metering pump automatic dispenser of sanitary products for toilet water cisterns, made up of a reservoir and of an auxiliary reservoir, and in which: the reservoir contains a sanitary product and an adjustable-volume metering pump of a membrane-pump version is mounted by a sealed assembly in its lower part, and each time the toilet is used, the auxiliary reservoir releases the dose of sanitary product into the water at the end of the flush and then receives from the adjustable-volume metering pump a new dose of sanitary product required for the next use of the toilet.
Claims10
An adjustable-volume metering pump automatic dispenser device made up of two reservoirs;
- a reservoir and an auxiliary reservoir;
- comprising:
- the reservoir contains a sanitary product, and
- the adjustable-volume metering pump is mounted by a sealed assembly in the vertical cylindrical recess in the bottom of this reservoir,
- each time the toilet is used, the auxiliary reservoir releases the previously received dose of sanitary product into the water at the end of the toilet flush, and
- then receives from the adjustable-volume metering pump the dose of product required for the next use of the toilet,
- the adjustable-volume metering pump comprises a float fixed to a piston slideably mounted on the metering pump,
- at its middle it comprises a tapped through-hole into which an end-stop adjusting rod is screwed, the volume being adjusted by screwing in or out the end-stop adjusting rod, one end of which constitutes an adjustable end-stop with which the piston comes into contact, the device thus regulating and limiting the stroke and determining the volume of the dose of product entering and leaving the adjustable-volume metering pump,
- the end-stop adjusting rod is operated using an indexed knob,
- the adjustable-volume metering pump comprises:
- an inlet valve via which the sanitary product contained in the reservoir enters on top of the piston;
- an outlet valve on a carrier of this valve is connected to a duct, the other end of which duct is connected to the pouring spout that enters the auxiliary reservoir,
- the auxiliary reservoir comprises:
- a means for filling it with water from the toilet cistern;
- in its bottom part, a discharge device made up of a float mounted on an articulated lever which operates a discharge valve.
