The pellets are then held in position by the members 32a and feed downwardly as they are consumed.
Referring now to the modification illustrated in the Figures 9 through 11, a dispenser 20b is illustrated having a pair of spaced apart parallel side walls 21b, 2217 connected by a pair of elongated spaced apart parallel end walls 24b and a pair of semi-cylindrical lower portions 25b. An upright inner wall 26b is positioned in parallel relation intermediate the side wall 24b and is provided with a semi-cylindrical lower portion 27b arranged concentrically to the semi-cylindrical portions 25b.
The side wall 21b is provided with a pair of semispherical hollow bosses 28b and a pair of supporting suction cups 30b are fastened thereto by means of integral heads 31b frictionally engaged in the semi-spherical hollow bosses 28b. The lower ends of the semi-cylindrical portions 25b are each provided with an arcuate member 32b which are flexibly connected to the semi-cylindrical portions 25b to permit them to be swung outwardly and downwardly when filling the dispenser 20b. The parallel end walls 241: each extend rearwardly beyond the side wall 21b forming a pair of guide flanges 2%, as best seen in Figure 9.
In the use and operation of the invention illustrated in Figures 9 through 11, the suction cups 30b are engaged with an upright portion U of a urinal securing the dispenser 29b in upright relation thereon. The dispenser 20b is filled with chemical tablets 331) by moving the members 32b away from the semi-cylindrical portion 27b in the same manner as disclosed in the prior modifications. Tablets 33b fill the space between the end walls 24b and the inner wall 26b and the space between the semi-cylindrical portions 25b and the semi-cylindrical portion 271) with the lowermost tablet 33b supported on the member 32b until it is completely dissolved. The guides 2% provide a guideway for the flow of water down the side wall 21b catching splashings from the urinal and directing them downwardly towards the members 3217 so as to insure a supply of water for the lowermost tablet 33b.
The modification illustrated in Figures 12 and 13 discloses a dispenser 20c having a pair of spaced apart parallel side walls 210, 220. The side walls 21c and 220 are connected by an arcuate top wall 230 and a pair of arcuate end walls 240 and downwardly and inwardly converging bottom walls 25c. The dispenser 20c has a pair of inner inverted V-shaped walls 260 extending between the walls 210, 22c and a second pair of V-shaped walls 270 joined integrally thereto and forming therewith a relatively flat diamond shaped configuration centrally in the dispenser 20c.
