Automatic cleaning assembly for a toilet bowl

Abstract

An automatic cleaning assembly for a toilet bowl includes a body member having an interior cavity therein for receiving a cleaning agent. An inlet is in communication with an interior of the body member and is connectable to a ball cock through a refill tube and an outlet is in communication with an interior of the body member and is connectable to an overflow pipe through a connecting hose. Furthermore, a cap is attached to the body member. The cap is free from apertures therethrough and sealed to said body member to form a sealed space at an upper portion of an interior of the body member. The sealed space ensures that a level of water within said interior cavity of said body member remains at a bottom of the cleaning agent to slowly dissolve the cleaning agent. With the above construction, an improved cleaning assembly for a toilet bowl is provided, which is simple in structure, inexpensive to manufacture, and can clean the toilet bowl thoroughly. Furthermore, it is possible to extend the usable life of the cleaning agent. Furthermore, complete cleaning of a toilet bowl is provided with each flush, such that the necessity of scrubbing and use of chemicals to clean the toilet bowl is substantially reduced or eliminated entirely. Finally, the cleaning agent remains out of the water to prevent excessive dissolving of the cleaning agent and to prevent gaseous cleaning agent from harming the plumbing equipment or a user.
