Description

Reinigungsmittel umfassendes WC-KörbchenDetergent comprehensive toilet bowl

The present invention relates to a toilet bowl with detergent, which serves for attachment to a toilet bowl, a use and a toilet bowl and detergent comprehensive set.

A large part of the known piece-shaped cleaning agents are so-called "rim blocks", which are usually attached to the edge ("rim") of the toilet in cup or cage-like containers, which are referred to below as toilet bowls. The toilet bowls generally have a first and a second wall, between these walls, the cleaning agent is arranged. One of the cupboard walls has its visible side in the suspended state in the interior of the toilet bowl. The basket has inlet and outlet openings for the rinse water. The agent in the basket is overflowed by the rinse water during each rinse. As a result, a small proportion of the cleaning agent is dissolved with the release of surfactants, fragrances, etc., with each rinse, which then the desired cleaning of the toilet bowl and the toilet sump and the desired scent are achieved.

In general, the detergents have fragrances and are colored for a visually pleasing appearance.

The demands of consumers for the visual effect of cleaning and fragrancing products for the sanitary sector are constantly increasing. The funds should not only clean and scent the room, but at the same time be designed visually appealing in a modern design.

To give toilet cleaners a pleasing appearance, toilet cleaners are also offered with colored gel phases. Tricolor detergents with two differently colored gel phases in red and blue and one detergent tablet phase in white are also known, for example, from the EU design patent 000748975-0009.

In addition to these toilet cleaners with different colors that are offered in appropriate baskets, toilet bowls have become known in recent years, which contain several detergents in different colors, which serve not only a visually appealing exterior, but the consumer also different ingredients and To visualize functions.

The individual cleaning agents may, for example, be disc-shaped, spherical or cube-shaped and are often in two changing colors, for example in the form of individual pink and blue spheres (in the color sequence pink-blue-pink-blue) according to EU design patent 001973579-0003 or in the form of discs of different colors, which are produced by extrusion or tabletting processes.

Most such different colored individual detergent tablets, which are stored in the basket, extruded from powdery raw materials, but due to the open-pored and rough surface leads to high scattering coefficients of the detergent tablet formulation and thus to pale colors.

Although such toilet bowls with the different colored individual agents look visually appealing, however, the production of the individual differently colored cleaning agents and the filling of the cups with the individual differently colored cleaning agents are expensive. The cost of producing and keeping cleaning agents in different colors is also considerable, especially since the production plant has to be shut down and cleaned for each different-colored batch.

Furthermore, it is known to produce toilet bowls in an injection molding process, wherein a label is inserted into the empty injection mold and then over-injected with the injection molding material.

This method requires a high technical complexity and is therefore economical only for large quantities. In addition, special systems are required.

From WO 2016/040341 A1 a toilet bowl with a plurality of individual chambers is known, wherein the individual chambers can be filled with different agents. In order to prevent evaporation of perfume or the entry of moisture, the chambers are provided with a lid, which is removed before hanging in the toilet.

DE 197 41 283 A1 teaches a toilet bowl with a two-part container, wherein the cleaning agent is poured into a first cup-shaped container part. The first container part is connected to a second container part, which has openings for the passage of rinse water.

The object of the present invention is to provide a toilet bowl with detergent, which meets the wishes of the consumer to a visually appealing, special design and is easy and inexpensive to produce.

This object is achieved in that the toilet bowl has a first and a second basket wall, wherein the first cup wall comprises a Einlegerblatt, wherein the Einlegerblatt can be attached to the rest of the basket and has the insert sheet with its visible side in the direction of the interior of the toilet bowl and carries information visible to the consumer, and wherein the insert sheet is fixedly connected to the cleaning agent.

Likewise, the cleaning agent firmly connected to the insert sheet can be inserted into a toilet bowl.

Characterized in that according to the invention a Einlegerblatt is provided which carries a visible to the consumer information facing in the direction of the interior of the toilet bowl, the basket with the detergent in a simple manner by appropriate information on the Einlegerblatt such as images, images, colors, texts , Comics, etc. are made visually appealing.

The insert sheet is firmly connected to the detergent and thus forms an individually manageable unit. Such insertsheet and cleaning means may be offered for refilling the basket and then attached to the rest of the basket for refilling.

Since the insert sheet (with the cleaning agent fixedly attached thereto) can be attached to or in the rest of the basket, the "empty" insert sheet can then either be removed from the remainder of the basket after consumption of the cleaning agent, which gradually dissolves on flushing and be replaced with a new insert sheet with new detergent. Alternatively, the basket can be disposed of with the attached Einlegerblatt and replaced with a new basket.

It is essential that the Einlegerblatt remains in the toilet bowl during use of the toilet bowl, because only so it can provide during the period of use for a visually pleasing appearance of the toilet bowl. It is generally when the toilet bowl is hung in the toilet bowl, between the cup wall, which faces the toilet inside, and the detergent. The information on the insert sheet is generally visible to the consumer when the basket is properly hung in the toilet bowl. The insert sheet remains in the basket at least until the detergent has been completely rinsed off. It can of course be exchanged by the consumer.

The respective cleaning agent can thus be attached to the rest of the basket firmly attached to the visually appealing designed sheet or inserted into a toilet bowl, and the design of the basket is determined over the life of the cleaning agent by the respective design of the insert sheet used.

The insert sheet is preferably made of a flat material such as a film and may be formed in three dimensions, for example in the form of a half-shell. In a preferred embodiment, the insert sheet also has openings, so that the rinse water can penetrate through these openings into the interior of the basket.

In the context of the present invention, "cleaning agent" is understood as meaning both a WC cleaning agent as such, which gradually dissolves after a large number of rinses, and a cleaning agent packaged in a water-soluble film. Thus, both the unpackaged and the packaged detergent can be firmly connected to the Einlegerblatt.

According to the present invention, it is no longer the cleaning agent itself but rather the visually appealing insert sheet that is the "eye-catcher" of the detergent-filled basket, which can require the complex and cost-intensive steps required for coloring, multicolouring or an otherwise attractive appearance of the cleaning agent are to be saved.

The fact that the essential design element is now determined by the Einlegerblatt and no longer by the appearance of the cleaning agents, simpler and cheaper detergent formulations can be used, for example, have no dyes and consist of a standard formulation and simple shapes.

In accordance with the invention, visually appealing toilet bowls comprising cleaning agents are provided without having to color the cleansing agents for a pleasing appearance with dyes, in addition the unwanted colored streaks in the toilet bowl are avoided, which are caused by the colored detergent solutions dripping out of the basket with a time delay because the compositions of the invention no longer need to be colored.

As a result of the Einlegerblattes invention can be completely dispensed with dyes in the cleaning agents, not only costs can be saved, but also the entry of dyes into nature can be reduced, which is environmentally friendly.

The saving of dyes is a great advantage, especially with regard to the detergent tablets pressed from powders, because the tablets compressed from powders must use very high dye concentrations due to the scattering coefficient of the powders in order to obtain a strong color.

Also can be conveyed by the design of the Einlegerblattes the impression of several cleaning agents, in the toilet bowl, however, only an elongated detergent are inserted. Compared to a basket with four different cleaning agents, it is thus possible to save three times the cutting of the cleaning agent and the sorting of three additional agents into the basket, despite the visualization of four cleaning agents.

Now that the appearance of the product is essentially determined by the Einlegerblatt, the structure of the basket can be simplified. Colored baskets with special shapes are no longer required and can be replaced with simply constructed, generally transparent baskets or "remaining baskets". This also saves costs and further simplifies the manufacturing process. A "rest basket" is in the context of the present invention, a toilet bowl without Einlegerblatt.

Insofar as the insert sheet, which can be shaped accordingly and can also have inlet openings, forms a complete basket wall or cup half, the "remaining" cup can only be provided with means for attachment to the toilet bowl, such as a handle, the other cup half or basket wall, if necessary Floor, and fasteners for the insert sheet exist.

The insert sheets according to the invention are also distinguished by the fact that they are simple and can be produced individually and in a large number of variants.

In the context of the invention, the term "insert sheet" is understood to mean a flat or three-dimensionally shaped part which can be fastened to the "remaining" toilet bowl and is made from a thin sheet material such as a film, which optionally can also have inlet openings for the rinsing water.

As far as the insert sheet is formed three-dimensional, it preferably has with the curvature in the direction of the toilet bowl. However, the curvature may also point in the direction of the cleaning agent.

In a first preferred embodiment, the insert sheet is a cut plastic film printed with information such as a pleasing motif and formed flat or in the form of a half-shell. This plastic film should be so dimensionally stable and stiff that it forms a stretched visible surface in front of the detergent until the consumption of the detergent. The plastic film is printed with an "information", for example a color, a color mixture, a picture, a work of art, a comic, a text, a photograph, a motif or the like.

In principle, the possibilities of the print motifs on the insert sheet are far greater than the color variants and motifs which offer colored cleaning agents. Thus, for example, filigree motifs can also be selected with the insert sheet according to the invention.

After the insert sheet is visible from the visible side of the basket, the insert sheet is, so to speak, the "eye-catcher", the essential design element of the basket.

After such films can be easily cut, printed and formed, a variety of different visually appealing, individual-looking filled baskets can be provided in a simple and cost effective manner. Thus, the toilet bowls can also be customized customized.

Due to the ease of manufacture of the liner sheets, an immense variety of individual shapes and motifs, e.g. seasonal motives (Easter eggs, pumpkins, St. Nicholas, sledges), sports motifs such as footballs, colors and gradients, texts, jokes, etc., possible. It is also possible to visualize the perfuming of the toilet again on the insert sheet, for example in the form of an orange, when the cleaning agent is perfumed with orange fragrances, or to repeat the device color of the toilet again in the insert sheet.

Basically, the insert sheet (without the information) may be transparent, partially translucent or completely opaque.

In a further preferred variant, the inlay sheet is transparent or substantially transparent except for a printed or inked area with the information, so that one can see through the transparent areas of the insert sheet onto the cleaning agent.

In a preferred variant, the insert sheet is made of PET, polypropylene, polystyrene, PVC, biopolymers or another plastic and preferably of recyclable PET. In particular, the insert sheet is a PET film with a layer thickness of 0.02 mm to 5 mm, preferably 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm.

Of course, the insert sheet can also be made of other materials such as metal foils or preferably flat composite materials that printed, punched or otherwise by an attractive surface "information" wear configured.

The liner should preferably be water-insoluble so that it can provide a pleasing appearance over the life of the basket and will not gradually dissolve in the purge stream.

The ink of the information of the insert sheet may be both water-insoluble and water-soluble. A combination of water-soluble and water-insoluble ink is possible.

If water-soluble ink is used, it will dissolve over time, i. the information fades as the consumption of the detergent increases. If a combination of a water-soluble and a water-insoluble ink is selected, the motif changes with the number of rinses and towards the end of the life of the agent is then, for example, only the water-insoluble pressure to see. Thus, over the use of different printing inks, a change over the life of the agent information can be obtained.

Generally, the insert sheet can also consist of several parts. These can be arranged arbitrarily, for example next to each other or one above the other. The insert sheet can also have kinks or folds or perforations.

The insert sheet is fixed to the piece-shaped cleaning agent, in particular cohesively and / or positively connected. On the one hand, the insert sheet can be glued onto the piece-shaped cleaning agent.

Also, the cleaning agent can be cast as a melt in the molded half-shell of the insert sheet. In addition, the cleaning agent can be attached to the insert sheet also by mechanical brackets (brackets, grooves, etc.). In addition, the insert sheet can be hammered together with the piece-shaped cleaning agent in a PVA film and thereby secured.

The insert sheet together with the detergent forms an independently manageable part, which performs two functions, on the one hand to form the eye-catcher of the basket and on the other hand also to take over the cleaning function. If the cleaning function is completely consumed by the complete dissolution of the detergent during the rinse, the insert sheet, i. the eye-catcher, either removed and inserted a new cleaning agent with visually appealing designed Einlegerblatt in the basket or otherwise secured, or disposed of the basket as a whole.

The remainder of the basket thus acts to secure the cleaning agent and the insert sheet and attach it to the toilet rim or in the toilet bowl. Another function of the rest of the basket and / or the Einlegerblatts is to direct a portion of the rinse water through openings in the interior of the basket and rinse out the detergent rinse water from the basket again.

The insert sheet can be attached to the rest of the basket example meadow by hanging, jamming, insertion into a groove, gluing, magnetic or otherwise.

In addition, the insert sheet with the cleaning agent firmly attached thereto can also be easily inserted into a basket like a conventional cleaning agent and the basket then closed.

In principle, the insert sheet can be fastened to the remaining basket both detachably and non-detachably. In the first case, after the detergent has been completely rinsed off, the insert sheet can be removed from the rest of the basket and disposed of. In the second case, the entire basket is disposed of with the insoluble associated deposit sheet. Also in this case, the manufacture is simplified compared to a custom disposable basket, since the "rest of the basket" can be produced in large quantities as a standard part and only an individualization with respect to the insert sheet, which is then connected to the detergent must be made.

For example, in order to secure the insert sheet to the (remaining) cup, the insert sheet may have openings near its upwardly facing edge through which corresponding hooks may be inserted on the remaining cup, such that the insert sheet with the cleaning agent firmly attached thereto will stick to the rest Basket is hung up.

The Einlegerblatt can also be releasably secured in the rest of the basket, that the Einlegerblatt is pushed with its vertically extending sides in each case a vertically extending groove in the side cup walls. Due to the fact that the insert sheet rests with its underside on the bottom of the basket, a sufficient stability is achieved. The production costs for such a "remaining" basket are low. The Einlegerblatt can be designed individually and then simply used together with the firmly attached cleaning agent in the rest of the basket and at the same time forms the visible from the consumer cup wall.

In a further variant, the insert sheet is shaped in the form of a half-shell. The half-shell can now be inserted with its convex curvature through a corresponding opening in the first cup wall through, where it can be supported in the opening. The half-shell thus protrudes from the rest of the basket into the interior of the toilet bowl. The cleaning agent may be supported with its rear side preferably on the second cup wall, which is directed towards the toilet bowl.

Preferably molten cleaning agents are poured into such shells, which are then solidified.

In order to ensure the visibility of the insert sheet in the basket, the basket may either be transparent and thus the insert sheet may be completely visible from the visible side through the transparent cup or cup portion or the first wall of the cup which faces the toilet bowl interior in the cupboard cup the toilet bowl attached state has, has a (larger) opening through which the Einlegerblatt or much of the Einlegerblatts is then visible to the consumer or through which the molded Einlegerblatt extends toward the interior of the toilet bowl. The size or the diameter of the opening may, for example, at least 40%, preferably at least 50% or more preferably at least 60% correspond to the size of the cleaning agent, so that on the one hand a lot of water can penetrate through this opening in the basket and also a large window on the insert sheet is obtained. In this variant, the basket may be transparent, somewhat translucent or not transparent, both white, black and colored.

In a further preferred variant, the insert sheet additionally has at least one inlet opening for the rinsing water and / or at least one guide element for the rinsing water in order to promote the entry of the rinsing water into the basket and to the cleaning agent to be dissolved. The size, number and shape of the openings depends both on the resolution to be achieved, as well as on the particular desired optics.

In this variant, for example, a printed rectangular insert sheet having a plurality of entrance openings may be simply adhered to the, for example, cylindrical or rectangular detergent tablet, and the insert sheet-detergent composite is then fixed to the cup member by means of the insert sheet, e.g. in that the insert sheet has openings in its upper region, through which corresponding noses can be inserted in the basket part.

In another embodiment, the insert sheet is a deep-drawn piece of film or otherwise three-dimensionally shaped, preferably sheet-shaped, insert sheet, e.g. made of PET, which preferably has a shell shape. The shell shape may vary, e.g. be trough-shaped, star-shaped, flower-shaped or shaped differently. For example, if the insert sheet is flower-shaped, then the melt of the cleaning agent can be poured into the flower shape and then cooled. The three-dimensional flower shape can then be visually supported by the "consumer information", such as an attractive pressure or similar.

In a preferred variant, the three-dimensional shape, such as a flower shape, is located in the region of the large opening in the basket wall and is projected outwardly therefrom, i. in the direction of the interior of the toilet bowl, thus the shape bulges outwards like a stomach so that at least part of the shaped insert sheet extends into the free space of the interior of the toilet bowl. The fact that there is a large opening in the basket wall and the insert sheet also preferably has a plurality of inlet openings for the rinse water in the area of the flowers (form), the rinse water can reach the detergent contained in the flower shape. It is understood that this also applies to other three-dimensional shapes, in particular convex shapes.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the unit of insert sheet (tray) and cleaning agent is preferably enclosed by a water-soluble film, for example of PVA, in order to prevent the evaporation of the ingredients such as fragrances and also make the unit easy to touch even for the consumer. This composite is then secured in the (remaining) basket and the basket hung in the bowl and rinsed. In the process, the PVA film slowly dissolves and the surface of the cleaning agent and the openings in the shell are rinsed free and are thus "ready for use".

In a further variant, the insert sheet has one or more perforations for the production of openings. The consumer can thus - depending on the desired amount of water that is to enter the basket - by piercing one or more perforations determine the number of access openings and possibly their size.

In addition, in this three-dimensionally shaped, but also in the flat Einlegerblättern on the facing towards the interior of the toilet bowl side from the outside profiles or guide lips may be formed, which promote a targeted entry of the rinse water into the basket.

The three-dimensionally deformed insert sheet may also have a curvature in the direction of the cleaning agent. By such a curvature - especially in combination with additional openings or guide elements - the passage of the rinse water to the detergent can be improved.

In all of the above-described variants of the insert sheet, it is possible, in addition to the "visible information" with fragrances and / or additives and / or cleaning and / or disinfecting agents and / or preservatives and / or silver particles and / or holograms and / or RFID codes and / or a QR code.

If the insert sheet becomes the carrier for the fragrances, the production process of the cleaning agent and its formulation can be further simplified and the cycle times can be increased. In addition, incompatibilities, chemical reactions, etc. between fragrances and other components in the detergent are avoided. The fragrances can be applied by special printing process on the insert sheet or already contained in the plastic material. They gradually evaporate from the surface of the insert sheet, independently of the rinse cycle, thus ensuring even scenting.

The insert sheet can also be equipped, for example, with silver particles or silver compounds for antibacterial effect. Other insoluble or gradually dissolving additives may include the insert sheet.

It is also possible to equip the insert sheet with indicators that indicate, for example, the consumption of the toilet detergent.

It has already been explained previously that the insert sheet can also be printed with different printing inks having different properties, e.g. can be printed on the solubility, whereby over the consumption period changing information can be achieved.

For easier reordering, the insert sheet can also be equipped with a QR code and for theft protection of the entire package with an RFID chip.

The insert sheet according to the invention with the cleaning agent firmly attached thereto, which can not be removed by this non-destructive, can be used both in a disposable toilet bowl, as well as in refillable toilet bowls.

The insert sheet can be adapted to any cup geometry as a flat foil piece or as a three-dimensionally deformed inserter sheet and thus can be used for baskets with cuboid, round, cylindrical, cube-shaped or otherwise shaped detergents in a basket for one, two, three, four or more cleaning agents.

In principle, the insert sheet can also be produced as an injection-molded part.

In a further variant, the basket contains one or more transparent cleaning agents with deposit sheets firmly connected thereto.

Depending on the desired optical effect transparent or non-transparent toilet cleaning agents can be used in the toilet bowl.

All the variants of the insert sheet and the attachment described above can be combined in whatever combination, it is only important what effects should be achieved with the insert sheet.

Also, the differently combined variants of inserts sheets such as a flat printed piece of film having fragrances and holes, or a three-dimensionally deformed film piece, which is formed in the shape of a heart and coated with silver and has an opening in the upper area, with the different variants of baskets, such as a transparent, semi-transparent or opaque residual basket, which may have a large opening in the first wall.

At this then different shaped cleaning agents, whether cuboid, cylindrical, round, cube-shaped or otherwise shaped, firmly attached, in particular glued or poured and allowed to cool, a detergent alone or two, three, four or more pieces.

The invention also relates to a fixedly connected to the detergent insert sheet.

The invention also relates to a set in which the Einlegerblatt by the consumer himself, for. B. with a laser printer, printed and glued to the detergent and then attached to the rest of the toilet bowl. In this variant, the (remaining) toilet bowl, the detergent or the cleaning agent and at least one printable Einlegerblatt be offered as a set to be individually printed by the customer can.

The invention also relates to a use of an insert sheet which is fixedly connected to the cleaning agent.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to various embodiments.

Figure 10 shows another variant in which a basket wall is designed as a frame.

FIG. 1 shows the plan view of the basket 11, with a liner sheet 40; four detergent tablets 20 are firmly glued (not visible) to the back of the liner sheet 40. The insert sheet 40 and the four back-glued detergent tablets 20 form a unit (composite). The plan view shows the basket 11, when it is mounted in a toilet bowl, thus the view on the visible side 16 of the cup 11 and the visible side 41 of the insert sheet 40, in which the four stylized colorful flower motifs 42 on the insert sheet 40 as information easily recognizable FIG. 2 shows the side view of the basket 11 from FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show the composite of the insert 40 and the cleaning agent 20.

The transparent toilet bowl 11 is filled with four cylindrical white detergent tablets 20 received in the four shell parts 25, 25 ', 25' ', 25' '' corresponding to the shape of the cleaning means 20 and all with the back of the liner sheet 40 are glued (see in particular Figures 2, 4). In each shell part 25 - 25 '' 'is in each case a cleaning agent 20, which is disc-shaped or cylindrical.

The first cup wall 12, which extends in the direction of the visible side 16 of the cup 11, has a large round opening 15, through which the motif on the insert sheet 40 is clearly visible on the one hand and also serves as an inlet opening 17 for the rinsing water.

If the basket 11 is transparent, the motif on the insert sheet 40 also appears through the transparent toilet bowl 11, cf. FIG. 1. If the toilet bowl 11 is opaque, the motif or information is substantially visible only through the opening 15 in the first cup wall 12.

The liner sheet 40 is preferably a plastic film which has some inherent stability and dimensional stability and is cut to correspond to the inner shape of the basket 11. The detergent tablet 20 and the insert sheet 40 are supported in this variant on the bottom of the basket 14 (see Figure 2).

The insert sheet 40 has such a rigidity and dimensional stability as to provide or clamp in the cup 11 in the state secured in the toilet bowl an information surface remaining over the life of the detergent 20, and to give the back-adhered detergent 20 a pleasing appearance. The insert sheet 40 with the cleaning agents 20 attached thereto is a self-handling part.

This can, as described above, be placed on the bottom 14 of the basket 11 and be supported on the

cup walls

12, 13. But it can also be hung on the first basket wall 12 or "impaled" on protruding noses on the inside of the basket wall 12 (not shown).

The toilet bowl 11 is shown (unfolded) in Figure 5 . It has a hook 19, which serves for attachment to the toilet bowl on. However, the toilet bowl 11 can also be otherwise secured in the toilet bowl.

The toilet bowl 11 comprises a first cup wall 12 and a second cup wall 13, which are connected to the cup bottom 14 by a hinge 21. In the suspended state, the first basket wall 12 in the direction of the toilet bowl interior and thus in the direction of the consumer. The outside of the first cup wall 12 thus forms the visible side 16. In the first cup wall 12 are four large round openings 15 through which the insert sheet 40 is visible and through which water can enter the cup 11 by the water between the insert sheet 40th and the opening 15 flows in the direction of the basket bottom 14 and the cleaning agent 20 is triggered.

In addition, the basket 11 has further inlet openings 17 for the rinse water between two shell parts 25, 25 ', etc., the outlet openings 18 are located in the bottom portion 14 of the cup 11. In addition, the rinse water flows in the bottom portion 14 in the gap between the first Cup wall 12 and the second cup wall 13 from.

The

basket wall

12, 13 is understood to mean any shape which at least partially forms an outer surface of the basket 11. For example, the

cup wall

12, 13 have a single large opening 15, so that the

cup wall

12, 13 is designed in the form of a frame.

On the upwardly facing side of the (closed) cup 11 lugs 22 and latching openings 23 are provided, into which the lugs 22 engage with the basket 11 closed and the cup 11 close.

The toilet bowl 11 may be white, black, colored, milky or even transparent and consist of one or more parts. Also it can be black or have a metal look.

In the manufacture of the basket 11 according to the invention, the basket 11 is first produced in the opened state shown in FIG. 5 as an injection-molded part into which the printed insert sheet 40, which is already glued to the detergent tablet 20, is preferably automatically inserted. Subsequently, the basket 11 is closed.

In another variant, shown in Figure 6 , the insert sheet 40 is in addition to the information such as the flower motif 42 or similar. also provided with small openings 46 and guide elements 47. The openings 46 serve as further inlet openings for the rinse water, the guide elements 47 serve to direct the rinse water flow into the interior of the basket 11. The insert sheet 40 with the flower motifs 42 shown in FIG. 6 corresponds to the insert sheet 40 from FIG. 3 with the difference that the center of the flower 42 is now an opening 46 through which rinse water can enter into the basket 11 and at the lower edge of the opening 46 a guide element 47 is provided which is intended to guide the water into the basket 11.

In this variant, the Einlegerblatt 40 thus not only a pleasing appearance with ease of manufacture, but also promotes the Spülwasserzutritt in the basket 11. On the size and number of openings 46 in the insert sheet 40 is thus possible, specifically the dissolution rate of the cleaning agent 20th in the basket 11, which depends on the basket geometry, the type of toilet and the cleaning agent 20 used in each case.

In a further variant, the insert sheet 40 not only has additional openings 46, which serve for the access of the rinse water, but the insert sheet 40 may also be three-dimensionally deformed, in particular be formed as a deep-drawn part. An example of such a three-dimensionally preformed insert sheet 40 with the cleaning agent 20 firmly connected therein is shown in FIG. 7 and in FIG. 9 using the example of a flower in a side view. The petals 48 are formed and protrude toward the interior of the toilet bowl, extending through the opening 15 in the first wall 12 of the basket 11. The center region of the flower motif 42 is again open and allows the opening 46 of the access of rinse water.

In a further variant, which is shown schematically in FIG. 8 and basically based on the variant from FIG. 7, the insert sheet 40, which has at least one opening 46, is shaped and a cleaning agent 20, for example as a melt, is poured into this mold then solidifies.
