  • Patent number: 7114199
    Abstract: A device for dispensing liquids from under the rim of a toilet by way of the toilet flush water is disclosed. The device includes a first arcuate bottle containing a first liquid and a second arcuate bottle containing a second liquid. The dispensing device has an arcuate base for holding the bottles. A wicking device supported by the base conveys liquid from the bottles to dispensing positions contacted with flush water. A hook is provided for suspending the base from a toilet rim. The majority of the upper surfaces of the bottles are not visible from above the rim of the toilet bowl when the dispensing device is installed on the rim, and the wicking device does not extend outward beyond an edge of the base. The bottles are at least partially spaced apart to define a flush water flow path between the bottles and through openings in the base.

  • Patent number: 7069602
    Abstract: Devices for dispensing cleaning chemicals from under the rim of a toilet bowl are suspended from either an open bottom toilet bowl rim or a toilet bowl rim with bottom wall holes, using a brush or brush-like suspender. Bristles of the brush flex together to permit the brush to extend into toilet bowl rim holes or an entrance of an open bottom rim. They then expand away from each other to retain the dispenser directly under the rim, in an essentially hidden manner.
