Patent number: 9212476Abstract: An applicator for gel-form products, in particular a toilet cleaning product is provided. The applicator includes a receiving space for a first gel-form product, the receiving space comprising a first orifice and a second orifice. The first orifice releases the gel-form product and the second orifice accommodates a piston movable in the receiving space, by means of which the gel-form product may be forced through the first orifice. On the applicator, around the first orifice of the receiving space, at least three spacer elements are arranged that are configured such that, when the applicator is pressed onto a, in particular ceramic, toilet surface to which the gel-form product is to be applied, a gap A is formed between the first orifice and the surface and the gel-form product may flow freely around the spacer elements on discharge.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: HENKEL AG & CO.

Patent number: 8646118Abstract: Cartridge (1) for coupling to a toilet flusher comprising at least one chamber (2) for receiving at least one free-flowing toilet cleaning preparation (6). The chamber (2) has an outlet (4) that lies in the direction of gravitation such that the toilet cleaning preparation can be released from the chamber (2) due to the force of gravity. The outlet (4) is, prior to a first coupling to the toilet flusher, secured prior to the release of the toilet cleaning preparation (6). The preparation is released from the cartridge (1) through the outlet due to the force of gravity when the cartridge (1) is first coupled to the toilet flusher. The chamber (2) has a communicating bar (8), wherein the bar and at least one other chamber (10) are designed so that they interact whereby the chamber (10) can be arranged on or next to the bar (8).Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.
