Lavatory Dispensing Devices

Abstract

The present invention relates to improved toilet dispensing devices for use in conjunction with a sanitary appliance, particularly a toilet.

1 . A lavatory dispensing device comprising:
 a hanger having a hanger means adapted to be suspended from a part of a sanitary appliance, preferably from the end or lip of an overflow tube provided within the cistern or tank of a sanitary appliance, preferably a toilet bowl,   and, a compressed solid block comprising at least one chemical agent, which lavatory dispensing device is adapted to be suspended within the interior of the overflow tube of the sanitary appliance.   
   
   
       2 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 1  which excludes a cage. 
   
   
       3 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 1  which further comprises a cage. 
   
   
       4 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 1  which comprises a hanger which includes a hanger means, and a stalk which stalk is at least partially encased by the compressed solid block composition. 
   
   
       5 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 1  wherein the compressed solid block composition comprises one or more of: surfactants, coloring agents, disinfecting agents, and anti-lime scale agents. 
   
   
       6 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 5  wherein the compressed solid block composition comprises an anionic surfactant. 
   
   
       7 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 5  wherein the compressed solid block composition comprises a sanitizing composition. 
   
   
       8 . A process for delivering a treatment composition to a sanitary appliance, especially preferably, to the interior of a toilet bowl, which process comprises: providing a lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 1  to the interior of an overflow tube present in the said device which overflow tube is in fluid communication with the interior of said toilet bowl, and proximate to the conclusion of the flush interval during which or subsequent to the time wherein water from the cistern is released from the cistern to the interior of the toilet bowl, delivering a treatment composition formed by contacting the compressed block with water supplied to the interior of the overflow tube by the sanitary appliance. 
   
   
       9 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 2  which comprises a hanger which includes a hanger means, and a stalk which stalk is at least partially encased by the compressed solid block composition. 
   
   
       10 . A lavatory dispensing device according to  claim 3  which comprises a hanger which includes a hanger means, and a stalk which stalk is at least partially encased by the compressed solid block composition.
