Abstract:
1. A dispensing device adapted for use in a toilet bowl or other sanitary appliance which device provides for the delivery of at least one treatment composition while simultaneously optionally providing a fragrancing effect to the ambient environment of the sanitary appliance as well wherein the device includes: (a) a dispenser body comprising a body cavity adapted to contain at least one chemical composition; at least one inlet to permit for passage of water contained within the sanitary appliance to pass into the body cavity and contact the at least one chemical composition and; at least one outlet to permit for the egress of a treatment composition from the body cavity; and at least one fragrance cavity adapted to contain a quantity of a fragrance composition; (b) a hanger which may depend from any part of the device which hanger is adapted for removably hanging the device upon a portion of a toilet bowl or other sanitary appliance characterized in that: the dispenser body has a maximum overall length dimension “L” and a maximum width dimension “W” measured in a plane perpendicularly intersecting “L” wherein the value of “L” to the value of “W” is at least 2×W, and, the dispenser body is sufficiently flexible such that the angle of deflection of the midpoint (M) of at least one end of the dispenser body, as measured between an original linear configuration of the dispenser body, and its deformed configuration as measured from the midpoint between two endpoints (E, F) of the dispenser body is at least 5°.
