Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a toilet-disinfectant dispensing system, the system comprising: a disinfectant substance dispenser installed such that the outlet thereof leads to the toilet bowl; and an activator for activating dispensing the substance before presence of waste inside the toilet bowl. According to one embodiment of the invention, the activator is a handle deployed underneath a seat of the toilet, thereby activating the dispensing upon sitting on the seat. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method for dispensing disinfectant into a toilet bowl, the method comprising the steps of: providing a dispenser for dispensing the disinfectant into the toilet bowl, wherein the dispenser comprises an activator; and upon activating the activator, dispensing the substance into the toilet bowl.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 27 . (canceled) 
   
   
       28 . A toilet-disinfectant dispensing system, the system comprising:
 a disinfectant substance dispenser installed such that the outlet thereof leads to said toilet bowl; and   an activator for activating dispensing said substance into said toilet bowl before presence of waste inside said toilet bowl;   wherein said disinfectant comprises fluid, and said dispenser comprises a pump for pumping said disinfectant from said container, and said activator comprises a handle for operating said pump, and said handle being installed between the lid of said toilet and the flush container of said toilet, thereby dispensing said disinfectant upon applying force by pressing said lid against said flush container;   or wherein said disinfectant comprises fluid, and said dispenser comprises a blower in which said disinfectant is disposed, and said blower being installed between the lid of said toilet and the flush container of said toilet, thereby dispensing said disinfectant upon applying force by pressing said lid against said flush container.   
   
   
       29 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said activator is operated manually by a user. 
   
   
       30 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said activator is activated upon sensing, by a sensor thereof, presence of an object. 
   
   
       31 . A system according to  claim 30 , wherein said sensor is based on a member selected from a group comprising: infrared sensing technology, strain sensing, and contact. 
   
   
       32 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said disinfectant comprises from about 1 percent to about 60 percents chlorine. 
   
   
       33 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said container is deployed in the seat of said toilet bowl. 
   
   
       35 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said container is deployed in the lid of said toilet bowl. 
   
   
       37 . A system according to  claim 28 , further comprising:
 a connector for connecting said dispenser to a wall above said toilet bowl; and   a pipe for conveying dispensed disinfectant from the container thereof directly or indirectly to said toilet bowl.   
   
   
       38 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said disinfectant comprises powder. 
   
   
       39 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said disinfectant comprises CDB 60. 
   
   
       40 . A system according to  claim 28 , wherein said handle comprises a springy mechanism resisting to activating said handle. 
   
   
       41 . A system according to  claim 40 , wherein the resistance of said springy mechanism is less than the force applied by said lid, thereby activating said dispensing upon leaning said lid on a wall. 
   
   
       42 . A system according to  claim 40 , wherein the resistance of said springy mechanism is greater than the force applied by said lid, thereby activating said dispensing upon pressing said lid against a wall. 
   
   
       43 . A system according to  claim 28 , further comprises a mechanism for increasing the force applied by said lid on a wall.
