Der in den Figuren wiedergegebene Behälter 1 ist aus einer vorzugsweise transparenten Folie z. B. aus PET, PP, PE, PS oder dgl. Durch Thermoformen und Stanzen ausgebildet, wobei zwei Hälften 1a und 1b ausgebildet werden, die durch ein angeformtes Gelenk 1.1 miteinander verbunden sind. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind fünf beabstandete Gelenkabschnitte 1.1 im Bereich von halbkugelförmigen Schalen 1.2 vorgesehen.The container 1 shown in the figures is made of a preferably transparent film such. B. made of PET, PP, PE, PS or the like. Formed by thermoforming and stamping, two halves 1a and 1b being formed, which are connected to one another by a molded-on joint 1.1. In the illustrated embodiment, there are five spaced joint sections 1.1 are provided in the region of hemispherical shells 1.2.

Die halbkugelförmigen Schalen 1.2 zur Aufnahme eines Spülmittels oder Duftspülmittels sind getrennt voneinander auf der Hälfte 1a ausgebildet, sodass die in Fig. 1 angedeuteten halbkugelförmig gestalteten Körper G aus verfestigtem Gel in die Halbschalen 1.2 eingesetzt oder in noch flüssigem Zustand eingefüllt werden können.The hemispherical shells 1.2 for holding a detergent or fragrance detergent are formed separately from one another on the half 1a, so that the in Fig. 1 indicated hemispherical body G made of solidified gel can be inserted into the half-shells 1.2 or filled in while still liquid.

Den Halbschalen 1.2 gegenüberliegend auf der Behälterhälfte 1b sind etwa kreisförmige Vertiefungen 1.3 ausgebildet, deren Grundfläche mit Durchbrechungen 1.31 versehen sind, sodass Spülwasser durch diese Durchbrechungen 1.31 in den geschlossenen Behälter eindringen, die Gelkörper G anlösen und das angelöste Spülmittel durch die Durchbrechungen wieder austreten kann.Opposite the half-shells 1.2 on the container half 1b are approximately circular depressions 1.3, the base of which are provided with openings 1.31, so that rinsing water penetrate through the openings 1.31 into the closed container, dissolve the gel body G and the detergent detached can escape again through the openings.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Durchbrechungen in Form von zwei Ringabschnitten von kreisförmigen Durchbrechungen und dazwischenliegend zwei wellenförmig gestaltete Durchbrechungen ausgebildet. Die Gestaltung der Durchbrechungen kann beliebig ausgeführt werden. So können beispielsweise auf dem in Fig. 4 unteren Bereich der Vertiefungen 1.3 kleinere Öffnungen für den Austritt des mit Spülmittel angereicherten Spülwassers vorgesehen werden, während an der Oberseite im Querschnitt größere Durchbrechungen vorgesehen werden können, damit das Spülwasser leichter eindringen kann.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the perforations are in the form of two ring sections of circular perforations and, in between, two wave-shaped perforations. The openings can be designed as desired. For example, on the in Fig. 4 1.3 lower openings for the exit of the flushing water enriched with washing-up liquid are provided in the lower region of the depressions 1.3, while larger openings in the cross section can be provided so that the flushing water can penetrate more easily.

Vorzugsweise sind die etwa kreisförmigen Vertiefungen 1.3 zwar über einen Stegabschnitt 1.32 voneinander getrennt, aber die Höhe des Stegabschnitts 1.32 kann geringer als die Tiefe der Vertiefungen 1.3 ausgebildet sein, sodass Spülwasser auch von einer Vertiefung in die benachbarte eindringen kann, wenn der Behälter geschlossen ist.The approximately circular depressions 1.3 are preferably separated from one another by a web section 1.32, but the height of the web section 1.32 can be less than the depth of the depressions 1.3, so that rinsing water can also penetrate from one depression into the adjacent one when the container is closed.

Die beiden Behälterhälften 1a und 1b weisen auf den Außenseiten beabstandete Laschen 1.4 auf, die mit halbkegelförmigen Einprägungen 1.5 versehen sind, sodass sich bei geschlossenem Behälter 1 an den miteinander verbundenen Laschen 1.4 versetzt zueinander Kegelabschnitte 1.50 ergeben, wie dies Fig. 4 in einer Seitenansicht und Fig. 5 in einer Draufsicht zeigt.The two container halves 1a and 1b have tabs 1.4 spaced apart on the outer sides, which are provided with semi-conical embossments 1.5, so that when the container 1 is closed, cone sections 1.50 result offset from one another on the tabs 1.4 connected to one another, as is the case with this Fig. 4 in a side view and Fig. 5 shows in a top view.

Die Ränder des Behälters 1 sind zumindest abschnittsweise so gestaltet, dass durch Zusammenklappen der in den Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 wiedergegebenen Hälften 1a und 1b diese durch Schnappsitz ineinandergreifen, sodass in der geschlossenen Stellung in Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 der Behälter eine handhabbare Einheit bildet, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass sie die beiden Hälften voneinander lösen.The edges of the container 1 are designed at least in sections so that by folding the in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 reproduced halves 1a and 1b interlock them by snap fit, so that in the closed position in FIG. 4 and Fig. 5 the container forms a manageable unit without the risk of detaching the two halves from one another.

Um die Halbschalen 1.2 und die Vertiefungen 1.3 ist zweckmäßigerweise ein flacher Randabschnitt 1.5 ausgebildet, damit die Anlage der beiden Hälften aneinander verbessert und die Hälften beim Befüllen steifer gestaltet werden.A flat edge section 1.5 is expediently formed around the half-shells 1.2 and the depressions 1.3 so that the abutment of the two halves against one another is improved and the halves are made stiffer when filled.

Wie Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 zeigen, ist die Bodenfläche der Vertiefungen 1.3 vorzugsweise schräg zur Ebene der Folie bzw. zur Trennungsebene der beiden Behälterhälften derart, dass bei einem Zustrom des Spülwassers von oben in Fig. 4, wie durch Pfeile angedeutet, das Spülwasser leichter durch die Durchbrechungen in die Kammern des Behälters 1 eindringen kann, wobei sich im erweiterten unteren Bereich der Vertiefungen 1.3 verstärkt mit gelöstem Spülmittel vermischtes Wasser ansammeln kann, bevor es durch die Durchbrechungen austritt.How 3 and 4 show, the bottom surface of the depressions 1.3 is preferably oblique to the plane of the film or to the parting plane of the two container halves in such a way that when the rinsing water flows in from above Fig. 4 , as indicated by arrows, the rinsing water can penetrate more easily through the openings into the chambers of the container 1, water mixed with dissolved detergent being able to accumulate in the enlarged lower region of the depressions 1.3 before it emerges through the openings.

Der vorstehende Rand der im unteren Bereich vergrößerten Vertiefung 1.3 in Fig. 4 dient auch zur Anlage an der Wand des WC-Beckens.The protruding edge of the recess 1.3 in which is enlarged in the lower region Fig. 4 also serves as a system on the wall of the toilet bowl.

Hierdurch wird in Verbindung mit der Klemmeinrichtung das Festsitzen des Behälters im WC-Becken verbessert und andererseits das zuströmende Spülwasser gezielt in die Durchbrechungen geleitet.In this way, in conjunction with the clamping device, the sticking of the container in the toilet bowl is improved and, on the other hand, the inflowing rinsing water is directed into the openings.

Die in den Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 wiedergegebenen kegelförmigen Vorsprünge 1.50 bilden eine Klemmeinrichtung, mittels der der Behälter 1 unter den Rand eines WC-Beckens eingeschoben und festgeklemmt werden kann. Nachdem das Spülwasser längs des Randes des WC-Beckens austritt, wird der Behälter 1 vorzugsweise auf der in Fig. 4 linken Seite überströmt, auf der die Durchbrechungen 1.31 vorgesehen sind.The in the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 reproduced conical projections 1.50 form a clamping device, by means of which the container 1 can be inserted under the edge of a toilet bowl and clamped. After the flushing water emerges along the edge of the toilet bowl, the container 1 is preferably on the in Fig. 4 flows over the left side, on which the openings 1.31 are provided.

Die Halbschalen 1.2 sind geschlossen ausgebildet und lassen durch die transparente Folie den Füllstand des Spülmittels erkennen.The half-shells 1.2 are closed and can be seen through the transparent film, the level of the detergent.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind nebeneinander in Reihe fünf Halbschalen 1.2 mit gegenüberliegenden Vertiefungen 1.3 ausgebildet, die in geschlossenem Zustand fünf nebeneinanderliegende Kammern für Spülmittel bilden, wie dies insbesondere Fig. 5 zeigt.In the illustrated embodiment, five half-shells 1.2 with opposite recesses 1.3 are formed side by side in a row, which in the closed state form five adjacent chambers for detergent, as is particularly the case Fig. 5 shows.

Es kann auch eine andere Anzahl von nebeneinanderliegenden Kammern an dem Behälter 1 vorgesehen werden. Durch die getrennten Kammern können in den einzelnen Kammern unterschiedliche Arten von Spülmittel eingebracht werden, die beispielsweise auch eine unterschiedliche Farbe haben können, wobei das eine Spülmittel insbesondere die Funktion einer Glanzwirkung auf der Fläche des WC-Beckens und ein anderes Spülmittel in der benachbarten Kammer vor allem eine Reinigungsfunktion haben kann. In Fig. 1 sind durch unterschiedliche Schattierungen unterschiedliche Arten von Spülmittel angedeutet.Another number of adjacent chambers can also be provided on the container 1. Due to the separate chambers, different types of detergent can be introduced into the individual chambers, which can also have a different color, for example, the one detergent serving in particular the function of a gloss effect on the surface of the toilet bowl and another detergent in the adjacent chamber everything can have a cleaning function. In Fig. 1 different types of detergent are indicated by different shades.

Die in Form zweier versetzt zueinander angeordneter Kegel 1.50 ausgebildete Klemmeinrichtung kann auch in anderer Weise gestaltet werden. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die in Fig. 4 oberen Kegel 1.50 etwas größer gestaltet als die darunter versetzt angeordneten. Die Formgebung der durch Verformen der Laschen 1.4 ausgebildeten Klemmeinrichtung kann in verschiedener Weise ausgestaltet werden, beispielsweise durch eine runde oder trapezoidförmige Ausbeulung im Gegensatz zu einer kegelförmigen und dergleichen.The clamping device, which is designed in the form of two cones 1.50 arranged offset from one another, can also be designed in a different way. In the illustrated embodiment, the in Fig. 4 upper cone 1.50 slightly larger than the staggered ones below. The shape of the clamping device formed by deforming the tabs 1.4 can be designed in various ways, for example by a round or trapezoidal bulge in contrast to a conical and the like.

Die Klemmeinrichtung kann auch nur an einer der beiden Behälterhälften 1a und 1b an einer Lasche 1.4 oder an einem verbreiterten Randabschnitt 1.5 ausgebildet werden.The clamping device can also be formed only on one of the two container halves 1a and 1b on a tab 1.4 or on a widened edge section 1.5.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Ansicht des in ein WC-Becken W eingesetzten Behälters 1. Fig. 6 shows a view of the container 1 used in a toilet bowl W.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine Schnittansicht des Beckenrandes, wobei der Behälter in der Stirnansicht der Fig. 4 unter dem Beckenrand eingeklemmt ist. Fig. 7 shows a sectional view of the pool edge, the container in the front view of Fig. 4 is trapped under the edge of the pool.

Es sind verschiedene Abwandlungen der beschriebenen Bauform möglich. So kann beispielsweise anstelle von nebeneinanderliegenden Kammern auch eine Anordnung vorgesehen werden, bei der eine obere Reihe von Kammern in einem größeren Abstand voneinander angeordnet und im Bereich der Abstände darunter jeweils eine zweite Reihe von Kammern vorgesehen wird. Beispielsweise kann die obere Reihe durch drei voneinander beabstandete Kammern gebildet werden, unter denen eine Reihe von zwei Kammern in den Zwischenbereichen der oberen Kammern angeordnet ist.Various modifications of the design described are possible. For example, instead of adjacent chambers, an arrangement can also be provided in which an upper row of chambers is arranged at a greater distance from one another and a second row of chambers is provided in the region of the distances below it. For example, the upper row can be formed by three spaced-apart chambers, below which a row of two chambers is arranged in the intermediate regions of the upper chambers.

Auch können die einzelnen Kammern unterschiedlich groß ausgelegt sein, je nach Art des darin einzufüllenden Spülmittels.The individual chambers can also be of different sizes depending on the type of detergent to be filled therein.

Nach einer weiteren Abwandlung können die halbkugelförmigen Halbschalen 1.2 auch anders geformt sein, beispielsweise in Topfform, wobei sich eine solche Ausgestaltung für den Einsatz von Spülmitteltabletten eignet.According to a further modification, the hemispherical half-shells 1.2 can also be shaped differently, for example in the form of a pot, such a configuration being suitable for the use of detergent tablets.
