    DETERGENT DISPENSER
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates generally to cleaning and related products. More specifically, the invention relates to a dispenser for detergent, in particular dishwashing detergent.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Detergents, such as dishwashing detergent, are often dispensed directly from the nozzle or other similar opening of a container or housing containing detergent. If desired to dispense detergent from the container, the user may, for example, tilt the container, possibly also providing force to the edges of the container, releasing the detergent from an opening located at the top of the container. This requires the user to reserve at least one hand for dispensing the detergent. Lifting the detergent container / container and possibly squeezing and / or generating other forces also requires muscle strength and coordination, which can be challenging for some users.
    Improved - detergent containers may have - a dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism may be a pump mechanism, whereby, for example, by pressing the housing or the dispensing mechanism via a button or the like, detergent can be released from the housing. In these types of housings, the amount of detergent dispensed may be fixed / determined or may depend on, for example, the amount of force with which the button is pressed or the time with which the button or other similar actuator is operated.
    The amount of detergent obtained / used in prior art detergent dispensers and detergent dispensers O is generally unsuitable. Often the amount of detergent N is unnecessarily high. It can be difficult for the user to control the amount of detergent obtained and / or some of the detergent obtained can be completely wasted, because with prior art housings the detergent can be easily dispensed so that some of it does not hit the desired target, such as a dish brush. In this case, the environment, such as the table, can easily become stained = with detergent.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 30 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    It is an object of the invention to alleviate at least some of the problems associated with the prior art. The object of the invention can be achieved by the features defined by the independent claims. Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a detergent dispenser which is simple and / or inexpensive to manufacture. Another object of the invention is to provide a detergent dispenser that is durable in use.
    It is also an object to provide a detergent dispenser which is easy to use and which dispenses a suitable amount of detergent, for example in a single application or in a single application, so that the environment is not entangled in the detergent.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the detergent dispenser assembly comprises a rigid plastic housing for the liquid material, the housing having a base and at least one wall extending upwards from the base, the upper edges of the walls defining the mouth opening of the housing. The detergent dispenser assembly further comprises a cover comprising a flexible plastic that is connectable to the housing such that the cover covers the mouth of the housing and the cover rests on the top edge of the walls. The lid has an opening and a tube terminating in the plane of the lid is fitted in the opening, whereby the tube protrudes into the housing when the lid is connected to the housing, and the lid and the tube are one piece.
    According to another embodiment of the invention, a detergent dispenser according to claim 6 can be provided. According to the invention - claim 9 specifies a method for preparing a detergent dispenser and claim 10 specifies a method = for dispensing a detergent.
    According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the detergent x dispenser can be placed / mounted on a table or level, such as a sink. When the user needs a detergent, it is possible to - dispense the detergent from the dispenser without the user having to move, lift or = turn the dispenser. Therefore, the dispenser of the invention may be easier to use than prior art dispensers. Also, the user does not need to reserve one hand for holding and / or moving the dispenser. The user can produce the force required to dispense the detergent by using, for example, a dish brush. The dish brush can be pressed towards the lid of the dispenser, whereby liquid detergent is released / raised from the housing on the lid. In this way, it is possible to dispense the dishwashing liquid directly into the dish brush, which may facilitate dishwashing or other washing. The detergent can also be dispensed in such a way that it is not wasted or ends up in an environment such as a sink, as may be the case with dispensers which dispense detergent, for example by pouring or squeezing and tilting or pumping.
    The detergent can be dispensed on the lid so that the lid has a ridge-forming rim, whereby the detergent remains at the level of the lid and below the ridge of the rim, whereby the rim prevents the detergent from reaching the lid level, for example on a sink.
    In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser is arranged in such a way that it is possible to dispense the detergent in such a way that the required force is easily produced for the human user, for example when pressing the lid via a dish brush.
    The detergent dispenser can dispense detergent / liquid from inside the housing onto the lid so that the amount of detergent to be dispensed is quite small, for example about 5 ml.
    —The dispenser according to the invention, in which the lid and the tube are one piece, is durable, because in this way, for example, the tube does not come off the lid as it would be if they were separate pieces. There is also no need for fitting or fastening means between these, so that the manufacture of the dispenser can be simple and advantageous.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 shows a detergent dispenser according to an embodiment.
    100. The dispenser comprises a housing 102, a lid 104 and a tube 106. The lid 104 comprises an opening 108. The lid 104 and the tube 106 are integral and the tube 106 is fitted in the opening 108, the tube ending at the level of the lid.
    The opening 108 may preferably be located in the center of the cover 104.
    Figures 2 and 3 show the detergent dispenser 100 in its position of use, i.e. when the lid 104 is connected to the housing 102. The tube then protrudes into the housing, the lid 104 covers the mouth of the housing and the lid 104 rests on the upper edge of the walls.
    In the position of use, the detergent dispenser 100 can be mounted on a sink or other level so that the outside of the bottom of the housing abuts the level.
    Figure 3 shows an exemplary embodiment in which, when the lid N is connected to the housing, the height of the detergent dispenser is 38.2 mm.
    N = Figures 4-6 show a housing 102 according to an embodiment.
    The housing has a base 110 and at least one wall 112 extending from the bottom & 25, which walls define the mouth opening 114 of the housing.
    O o The housing according to the embodiment of the figures is a rotating body formed around the axis x 2. The walls essentially form a cylinder.
    N The housing 102 may also be of other shapes, and the walls 112, for example, may be substantially square.
    The housing 102 comprises a rigid plastic such as polypropylene.
    The material is preferably rigid so that the shape of the housing 102 does not substantially change when subjected to a force that can be easily exerted by a human user.
    Outside the walls 112 of the housing, a strip / rim 116 may protrude from the walls. The strip may comprise the same material as the housing 102.
    Preferably, when the cover 104 is connected to the housing 102 and the cover 104 rests on the upper edge of the walls 112, at least a portion of the cover may rest on the strip 116.
    In one embodiment, the housing may comprise a bar 116, the bar comprising an opening portion 118, wherein the opening portion 118 has a point of discontinuity in the bar 116 or the bar 116 rotates the wall 112 lower than other locations. The opening portion 118 allows the cover 104 and the housing 102 to be disengaged, and the user can detach the cover 104 from the housing 102, for example, by placing one finger toward the opening portion 118 and the other finger toward the cover 104 and pulling the cover 104 and the housing 102 apart.
    By facilitating the disconnection of the lid 104 and the housing 102, a dispenser can be provided that is easy for the user to refill with detergent when the detergent runs out of the housing.
    According to the example of Figure 6, the height of the walls of the housing is 35.8 mm. Figure 7 shows a top view of a housing 102. The diameter of the cylindrical body formed by the walls of the housing according to this example is 96.4 mm.
    Figure 7 also shows the intersection of the axis x with the bottom of the case. Preferably, the housing 102 can be made by injection molding. About may also = correspond to the position of the plastic supply channel of the injection mold. Figures 8 and 9 show still different views of the housing 102 according to an embodiment. A and B show the surfaces of the housing which, in one embodiment, can be made so that the surfaces of the material differ from each other. o In one example, surface A may be milky / opaque while 2 surface B may be polished / completely smooth.
    N Figures 10 and 11 show a lid 104 and a tube 106. In this case, “lid” can also mean a combination of a lid and a tube, since they are preferably one piece. The lid has an opening 108, the tube being fitted into the opening so that the tube terminates substantially in the plane T of the lid. The plane T of the lid essentially means the plane which makes up most of the surface area of the lid 104. The level T of the cover may in fact be a level or this may mean an average level. The lid 104 does not necessarily form a perfect plane, but the surface of the lid may be, for example, slightly convex. The fact that the lid and the tube are one piece means that they are made in one piece, for example by injection molding, injection molding or 3D printing in one piece. The lid and the tube may be of the same material or they may be of a different material. The lid and the tube are one piece so that = these cannot be separated. The lid and the tube can advantageously be made by injection molding into one piece. The lid and tube may preferably comprise the same material, such as thermoplastic rubber (TPR). The cover comprises a flexible plastic such as the above-mentioned thermoplastic rubber. In a preferred embodiment, the lid 104 has a ridge-forming rim 120 around the lid, the lid level T remaining below the ridge peak H, as shown in Figure 11. The ridge may hold a detergent rising to the lid level on the lid so that the detergent does not enter the environment when the amount of detergent is such that the liquid level of the detergent on the lid remains below the peak H of the ridge. o According to the example of Figure 11, the height of the lid from the beginning of the tube to the ridge apex of the lid> is 29.9 mm.
    K <Q The length of the pipe is substantially adjusted so that when the lid is connected to the S 25 housing, the distance d between the beginning of the pipe and the bottom P of the housing remains. The distance E d may be, for example, about 0.1 mm to 2 cm. = Figure 12 shows the cover 104 seen from above. In the example of the figures &, the opening 108 is preferably approximately in the middle of the lid. According to the example of Figure 12 I, the diameter of the cover 104 is 95.8 mm. Preferably, the lid also comprises a groove, the lid 104 being engageable in the housing 102 such that at least a portion of the top edge of the walls 112 defining the housing orifice 114 is mountable within the groove, and the top edge of the walls thus supporting the cover 104. In one embodiment, the cover is engageable with the housing from the upper edge of the walls 112 defining the mouth opening 114 can be mounted inside the groove substantially airtight.
    In various embodiments of the invention, the groove and the ridge may be implemented as separate structures or may be part of the same structure.
    Figures 13 and 14 show possible details of the cover rim 120 when the ridge and groove are implemented as part of the same structure.
    As previously mentioned, the rim 120 may rotate the lid and form a ridge. A groove 122 may remain within the rim 120 (the rim forms a groove when the lid is viewed from the bottom of the housing when the dispenser is in its operative position), the lid 104 being engageable with the housing 102 so that at least a portion of the wall 112 defining the housing mouth 114 122 in), and the upper edge of the walls thus supports the cover 104.
    It can also be seen from Figures 14 and A that the darker-described section A may have a different surface material than the white-described section B. A may be milky, while B may have a smooth surface.
    The diameter size of the tube 106 may preferably be adjusted so as to produce a force exceeding the threshold value of the cover 104 having a downward component when the cover is connected to the housing and the cover rests on the upper edge of the walls with the dispenser in its operating position.
    As S releases the force from the lid 104, the N 25 liquid substance in the housing 102 rises along the tube 106 through the lid opening 108 onto the lid, substantially above the plane T of the lid.
    z The detergent can thus be dispensed by pushing the cover 104 downwards - for example with a sink when the dispenser is in the operating position. Cover = can be pressed with a dish brush, for example. By pressing the cover, a force having a component perpendicular to the plane T of the cover may be applied to the cover 104 S30.
    > When the cover 104 comprises a flexible material and the housing 102 comprises a rigid material, the cover 104 presses towards the bottom of the housing 102. When the force pressing the lid 104 is released, the lid 104 returns, causing the liquid in the housing, the level of which exceeds the beginning of the tube, to rise along the tube onto the lid. The amount of detergent dispensed per application, i.e., when the force 104 is applied to the cover 104 and the force is released, may depend on the magnitude of the force, the flexibility of the cover material, and / or the dimensions or relative dimensions of different parts of the detergent dispenser. length. The lid 104 is engageable with the housing 102 so that as the liquid level in the housing 102 decreases with dispensing, the lid 104 remains in substantially the same position relative to the housing 102.
