A buoyant dispenser for periodic delivery of a metered quantity of a dispensable material comprises a container having a central receptacle to hold the dispensable material, buoyancy means such as pontoons straddling the receptacle, a cover in fluid-tight engagement with the receptacle, an attitude guide means attached to the container that is adapted to be anchored to a wall of the fluid reservoir and a metering means in fluid registry with the receptacle to permit controlled ingress and egress of the fluid and dispensable material. Preferably, the metering means comprises a pair of holes disposed in spaced apart relation to each other, and positioned to allow a predetermined quantity of dispensable material to escape from the receptacle. In one embodiment, the receptacle is divided into two compartments by a transverse partition, and the metering means comprises holes communicating with one of the compartments, so that the dispensable material in that compartment is discharged when the dispenser in the fully floating position. The present dispenser finds particular utility in fluid reservoirs having cyclically variable fluid levels, and is particularly suited for use in the water tank of a domestic toilet apparatus.
