  • Patent number: 9282836
    Abstract: A cover for a portable fluid dispenser is disclosed. The cover comprises a flip lid component operable to rotate open to provide access to a liquid storage cavity of the portable fluid dispenser. It also comprises a lever operatively coupled to the flip lid component, wherein the lever comprises a press member on one end and an actuation arm on a far end of the lever opposite from the press member. A downward force applied to the press member causes the lever to rotate around a first pivot point. Further, the rotation of the lever around the first pivot point causes the actuation arm to push on the flip lid component at an actuation point, wherein the flip lid component pivots around a second pivot point and rotates open in response to a resulting force applied at the actuation point.

  • Publication number: 20140059751
    Abstract: Apparatus for applying cleaning substance to toilet bowl includes body having a wall defining a distally-facing cavity for releasably retaining the cleaning substance. The cavity may be greater in width than depth, and the body may have a proximally-extending mechanism configured to facilitate gripping the apparatus and applying the cleaning substance when the cleaning substance is pressed against the toilet bowl. For bathroom surface applications, body can have a proximally-extending releasing mechanism configured to selectively deform, the wall and thereby deform the cavity to release the cleaning substance from the cavity when the cleaning substance is pressed against the surface. Method for cleaning toilets employs above-defined wall having distally-disposed terminal edge whereby pressing the cleaning substance against the toilet bowl and manipulating the wall via the releasing mechanism distorts wall and cavity to release cleaning substance from cavity and apply substance to toilet bowl.
