DESCRIPTION

Subject of the Invention

The invention relates to a system, which is positioned in a flush tank and which enables a chemical to be transferred in to the bowl of a ceramic sanitary ware upon being triggered.

State of the Art

The ceramic sanitary ware are commonly used in many spaces, particularly the bathrooms, toilet rooms and kitchens. It is necessary to clean the ceramic sanitary ware after their use. Following the use of the ceramic sanitary ware like toilet and squatting toilet, various flushing systems are employed in order to both remove the wastes from within the ceramic sanitary ware and clean the bowl surfaces. Most of the time, the water is collected in a flush tank or similar reservoir and the flushing is achieved by way of discharge of said water into the bowl. Even though flushing with water provides partial cleaning, it is necessary to clean said ceramic sanitary ware also using various cleaning chemicals at certain intervals.

The cleaning by the use of various chemicals is performed by the user or by a janitor in the public spaces. On the other hand, there are also present the embodiments enabling the transfer of a chemical along with the flushing fluid into the ceramic sanitary ware. Today, the tablets are utilized, which are most of the time positioned into the flush tank or into the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware. The tablet positioned into the flush tank is dissolved in the fluid present within the flush tank and is conveyed to the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware upon the discharge of the flushing fluid into said bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware. In the embodiment where said tablets are positioned into the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware, the flushing fluid comes into contact with the tablet present in the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware while said flushing fluid is discharging from the flush tank into said bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware, a part of the tablet is dissolved and distributed into the bowl together with the flushing fluid. In said embodiments, the use intervals of the flushing system may affect the quantity of chemical transferred into the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware; more specifically, the desired effect is not possible to achieve in the embodiments where an adequate extent of dissolution has not yet taken place in the flushing fluid as the flushing system is activated frequently. In the embodiments where the tablet is positioned into the ceramic sanitary ware, the proportion of the chemical carried by the flushing fluid varies depending on the position of the tablet, type of the ceramic sanitary ware and similar variables, and it may not be possible to achieve an effective cleaning every time. It is known that such tablets are commonly preferred for their scent, rather than their cleaning effect.

Owing to the chemical system integrated into the flush tank according to the invention, since the transfer of the chemical to the ceramic sanitary ware is realized by the user, both the quantity of chemical and the time when the chemical is to be transferred may be adjusted and thus, the desired flushing action is achieved everytime irrespective of the variables associated with use. of the Invention

An object of the invention is to develop a system, which enables a desired quantity of chemical to be transferred into the bowl of the ceramic sanitaryware upon being triggered by the user.

Another object of the invention is to develop a system, the chemical reservoir of which is positioned into the flush tank and which, upon being triggered, enables the chemical to be transferred via the flush tank overflow tube into the bowl of the ceramic sanitary ware.
