Abstract:
1. An automatic additive dispensing assembly structured for use with a toilet fixture which is directly connected to a pressurized water supply without a flush tank, said assembly comprising: an outer container having a hollow interior, a supply pipe from the pressurized water supply structured to engage said outer container in an interconnected and fluid communicating relation, the supply pipe comprising a longitudinal axis, a support bushing structured to movably interconnect the supply pipe to said outer container in said fluid communicating relation, a retention chamber comprising an open upper mouth positioned within said hollow interior of said outer container, said retention chamber disposed in fluid communication with the supply pipe, a first portion of flush water retained in said retention chamber for a period of time, an additive retained in said retention chamber in a contacting relationship with said first portion of flush water for said period of time, a discharge pipe structured to engage said hollow interior of said outer container in an interconnected and fluid communicating relation, the discharge pipe further disposed in fluid communication with an interior of the toilet fixture, a support flange structured to engage the discharge pipe in an interconnected and supporting relation, said support bushing and said support flange cooperatively structured to permit rotation of said outer container simultaneously about the supply pipe and the discharge pipe along the longitudinal axis of the supply pipe while disposed in said interconnected and fluid communicating relation with each, the supply pipe structured to discharge a second portion of flush water into said retention chamber, said second portion of flush water thereby displacing at least said first portion of flush water, said open upper mouth structured to permit at least said first portion of flush water to overflow thereover into said hollow interior of said outer container, and said hollow interior structured to facilitate discharge of at least said first portion of flush water into the interior of the toilet fixture via the discharge pipe.
