ABSTRACT:
An air regulated cleaner discharge device is for use in a toilet water tank, the tank having a ballcock for discharging water to fill the tank from a minimum water level to a maximum water level, a flush valve connected to a toilet bowl for flushing water therein from the tank, and an overflow pipe projecting above the maximum water level having a ballcock refill tube connected thereto for directing tank water to refill the toilet bowl after flushing. The novel device has a preferably plastic container for receiving a mixture of liquid or other chemical material therein with an air supply tube having an inlet end opening into the tank spaced above the minimum water level and below the maximum water level, and an outlet end opening into the container preferably at an extreme upper portion above the minimum water level. A liquid cleaner supply tube also preferably of plastic is connected into the container at preferably an extreme lower end portion thereof and particularly below the air supply tube outlet end. Finally, low pressure liquid flow, preferably a venturi, connects the liquid cleaner supply tube into the ballcock refill tube for creating a low pressure acting upon the liquid cleaner in the container and in the liquid cleaner supply tube to thereby flow the liquid cleaner into the refill tube as long as refill tank water is flowing in the refill tube and air is flowing into the container air supply tube inlet. The liquid cleaner flow ceasing when the flow of air ceases into the container air supply tube.
