Other models have a container with a refillable top. An adjustable exit tube nut adjusts to various different toilet rims. When the user sits on the toilet seat, a diaphragm is compressed which forces air into the container and deodorant/disinfectant into the toilet bowl. The diaphragm needs to be made of neoprene or any flexible material with sufficient memory to return to its original non compressed shape after compression. | 01-28-2016 |

20150128336 | TOILET CLEANING SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREOF - It is disclosed a system for dispensing a cleaning fluid into a toilet bowl adapted to receive a flushing liquid from a tank. The system includes a cleaning fluid container positioned outside the tank and a valve controlling fluid passage from the container into a flushing liquid filling the tank at a varying level. The valve has a closed state and an open state blocking and enabling, respectively, fluid passage thereof. The valve switches between the states by the varying level. A conduit communicates the container with the valve, receives the cleaning fluid from the container, and releases it to the flushing liquid through the valve. A bottle base is attached to the tank for receiving a mouth end of a dispenser bottle. The dispenser bottle has a diaphragm for sealing the dispenser bottle and a punching pin punches the diaphragm while the dispenser bottle is brought into the bottle base. Thus, the pin enables a flow of a cleaning fluid out of the dispenser bottle. The valve is controlled by a float through a lever. Alternatively, the slide valve is actuated directly by the float. | 05-14-2015 |
