ABSTRACT:
An automatic toilet bowl cleaner dispenser for automatically discharging a measured amount of bleach (or detergent, or both) from a container which has an unobstructed opening, preferably in its top surface, through which tank water can enter the container and form a reservoir; a first venting means is located above the container's top surface for venting air responsive to the intake of tank water through the intake opening, and for defining the measured amount of cleaning solution; the venting means is in the form of a straight tube closed at its upper end, but provided with a small opening at the side of the tube adjacent the upper end; in operation the cleaning solution is the reservoir rises within the tube; however, because of this precise construction, very little cleaning solution escapes when water is rising within the toilet tank; when the water in the tank is lowered, the cleaning solution in the venting means forces out an equivalent amount of cleaning solution through the intake opening and into the flush water; additionally, because of the side opening in the tube, an incremental amount of tank water flows into the tube and forces out a corresponding added amount of cleaning solution; a further tube is provided extending from the first obstructed opening downwardly within the container, whereby mixing action is promoted when the tank water is being flushed and the cleaning solution is being dispensed; a second venting means, which is in the form of a bent tube, and a second corresponding unobstructed opening are optionally provided, both of which are in communication with a second compartment containing bleach.
