ABSTRACT:
A toilet bowl dispensing system, that includes an agent chamber for retaining a cleaning or disinfecting agent in a separate container away from the main body of water in the toilet tank. The agent chamber is sealed with a cap having an inlet and outlet tube. The inlet tube is connected to the inlet water valve in the tank of a toilet, while the outlet tube is connected to the bowl refill tube. The chamber cap is securely connected to the chamber to provide a water tight seal, however, the cap can be removed to install a cleaning agent such as chlorine pellets. In the operation of this system, the water from the inlet valve, which normally is used to refill the bowl, is first directed through the agent chamber and past the agent to produce a metered amount of dissolved agent which enters the toilet bowl only after the toilet has been flushed. By using this system, only a known, predetermined amount of cleaning agent is dispensed into the bowl after the toilet has completed its flush cycle, allowing the dissolved agent to remain in the bowl to clean, rather than having been flushed down the waste line, as occurs in most conventional systems. The usual components contained in the water tank of a toilet are used to automatically activate and control the dispensing action. Various types and sizes of cleaning agents can be accepted and can be installed quickly since installation of any agent merely requires the removal of a cap and the loading of the agent into the agent chamber.
