Abstract
The present invention relates to a toilet plunger containment system including a decorative shell, a selectively removable tray having a disposable disinfectant and a specialized plunger which is housed within the decorative shell during periods of non-use.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/666,130 filed on Nov. 1, 2012. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a toilet plunger containment system and, more particularly, to a sanitary toilet plunger containment system.
- It is often necessary to employ a toilet plunger to force objects stuck in the drain tube to become dislodged by exerting pressure on the plunger. Unfortunately, this is often a messy task both during the plunging process and afterward when the plunger is removed from the toilet bowl for storage. Controlling the unsanitary nature of using and storing the toilet plunger is therefore highly desirable.
- This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
- A sanitary toilet plunger containment system for holding a plunger during periods of non-use is provided and may include a tray, a disposable disinfecting component, and a housing. The tray may include a first shelf portion and a second shelf portion. The disposable disinfecting component may be positioned within the tray and include a first portion supported by the first shelf portion and second portion supported by the second shelf portion. The housing may include a circumferential wall which hosts the tray.
- In another configuration, a sanitary toilet plunger containment system for holding a plunger during periods of non-use is provided and may include a tray, a disposable disinfecting component, and a housing. The tray may include a first tier and a second tier. The disposable disinfecting component may be positioned within the tray and may be supported by the first tier. The housing may include a circumferential wall which hosts the tray.
- Still other aspects of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings and detailed description provided below.
- Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. The description and specific examples in this summary are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

- Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- The
shell 12, otherwise referred to herein as a housing, is typically formed from a moldable plastic material and is defined by abody 22 including abase 24 andcover 26 as best shown with reference toFIG. 8 . Thebase 24 is in the form of a two tiered bowl wherein thelower tier 28 is defined by abottom wall 30 and a firstcircumferential wall 32 and theupper tier 36 extends outwardly and upwardly from thecircumferential wall 32. The outwardly projecting portion forms anintervening shelf 40 to assist in retaining the selectivelyremovable tray 14. The upwardly projecting portion forms a secondcircumferential wall 44 which is larger than firstcircumferential wall 32 and includes anupper lip 46 having a plurality of spaced apartflanges 48 designed to engage theupper portion 26 of theshell 12 in a snap fit relationship. Optionally, the shell may include an elongateddecorative band 58 which snaps over the junction of the base and cover of the housing when the two components are adjoined. - The
cover 26, which only partially covers thebase 24, includes anopen area 56 so as to allow for insertion and removal of the toilet plunger, includes aside wall 50 and a semi-circulartop wall 52 which serves as a splash guard. Thetop wall 52 preferably includes a cut-outarea 54 sized to receive a lower portion of the toilet plunger handle. - The selectively
removable tray 14, as best shown inFIGS. 3 and 8 , is defined by abody 60 including abottom wall 62, aside wall 64, and alip 66 extends outwardly from the side wall. Thelip 66 seats over theupper lip 46 of the housing. Thelip 66 is generally hemispherical and terminates at the edge of upper portion of the housing when the tray is positioned within the shell. Ideally, the body of thetray 14 is sized to fit securely within the body of thehousing 12. Extending outwardly from thelip 66 is grippingtab 71 which facilitates insertion and removal of the tray from the housing. - The tray itself is designed to host a disposable, moisture absorptive material which includes a disinfectant component. This disposable disinfectant can be formed from a variety of moisture absorptive materials including, without limitation, charcoal, cellulosic materials such as wood chips, paper and cardboard or absorbent fibers by way of non-limiting example. The disposable disinfectant should be somewhat hydrophilic and may include disinfectant compositions, deodorizing additives and/or scented materials such as pine or floral scents, among others.
- As should be appreciated, the
moisture absorptive material 90 should be capable of being treated with disinfectants and deodorants in liquid, solid or gaseous form, and yet still be sufficiently absorptive after treatment with these types of compositions to consume waste water coming off of the plunger. Preferably, the moisture adaptive material is contained within the tray. A liquid permeable and/orperforated layer 92, is separated from the absorptive material and is sealed to the edge of the tray as shown inFIG. 11A . Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 10 , thelayer 92 can be adjacent to and serves as a wrapping for the absorptive material. By concealing the absorptive material withlayer 92, exposure to the disinfecting composition and the absorptive material when loading or emptying the tray can be minimized. Further, pre-packaging the disposable disinfectant facilitates loading and unloading of the composition from the tray as well as ease of storage. As shown in various figures, the packaged absorptive material is ideally sloped to conform to the slope receiving tray. - Under a highly preferred embodiment, the
moisture absorptive material 90 will be in the form of replaceable packets that can be sold separately when refills are needed. - As for the
plunger 18, the major elements include asuction cup 70, theshaft 72 and thehandle 74. Thecup 70 includes abody 76, aperipheral lip 78 and acoupling portion 80 extending upwardly from the body. The cup is formed from a material such as 60-90 a durometer silicone, butyl rubber or other liquid injection moldable material or elastomeric thermoplastics which is sufficiently durable and flexible to carry out effective plunging. An added benefit of this type of material is that it has limited porosity and is generally resistant to absorption; that is, toilet matter generally does not stick to it. Under a highly preferred embodiment, the plunger cup will be post treated to substantially eliminate the porosity all together. A high polished diamond lapping process can be employed to eliminate any surface porosity in the plunger head which is molded from a silicone or other low porosity elastomeric or thermoplastic elastomeric material. - The
shaft 72 is formed from a sufficiently rigid material to withstand the force applied to the plunger during use. Example materials includenylon 66, ABS, polypropylene and other thermoplastic materials that include Teflon like functions that prevent are reduce adhesion of toilet debris to thestructure shaft 72 includes anelongated stem 84 and acoupling member 86 extending from the lower end of the shaft which mates with thecoupling portion 80 of the cup. As shown, this coupling arrangement is in the form of a male and female threaded embodiment, but as should be appreciated by those skilled in the art, various mechanical coupling arrangements could be utilized. Further, the male and female aspects could be on either the cup or the shaft as long as effective mating is achieved. - Extending along the
upper end 86 of theshaft 72 is anenlarged handle 74. As shown, the upper end has a substantially bulbous shape to enhance the ergonomics of the plunger during use. The handle may also include anend cap 88 which is formed from a material which is particularly useful for ergonomic purposes. Alternatively, theupper end 86 can be over molded with an elastomeric material for comfort. - Referring particularly to
FIG. 9 , an alternative sanitary toilet plunger containment system is shown. As should be readily apparent, this version is particularly suited for lager, industrial type plungers. As such, theupper portion 26′ has a larger height dimension as compared to the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1-8 . In virtually all other aspects, the containment system is the same. The need for a larger upper portion is that theplunger cup 70′ itself is larger than industrial type plungers. - Referring to
FIG. 11 , an alternative sanitary toilet plunger containment system is shown. Under this embodiment, themoisture absorptive material 90 disposed within the tray and is sealed by a moisture permeable layer attached to the tray. The disposable tray is generally formed from a plastic material, preferably from a recycled feedstock. Again, a moisture absorptive material which is either naturally disinfecting or which can be treated with the appropriate disinfectants and deodorizing agents will be employed as previously described. By pre-packaging both the tray, the moisture absorptive material and the moisture permeably layer as an assembly, theconstruct 94 can be disposed of when necessary and is readily replaceable. - The packaging (not shown) for the construct would preferably be moisture resistant to preserve the moisture absorbing characteristics of the absorptive material.
- Still another variation of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 12 . According to this embodiment, the moisture absorptive material is in the form of a wafer or disc positioned within a tray. Aspace 98 occurs below the absorptive material to capture excess waste water coming off of the plunger if need be. In this embodiment, the disposable disinfectant component is sufficiently rigid to support the plunger when placed thereupon. - Referring to
FIGS. 13 through 13B , analternative tray 14A is shown. Thetray 14A may be used with any of the sanitary toilet plunger containment systems shown herein, and may be similar to thetray 14, except as otherwise provided herein. Accordingly, like reference numerals will be used to describe similar features. Under this embodiment, themoisture absorptive material 90 is disposed within the tray. Again, a moisture absorptive material which is either naturally disinfecting or which can be treated with the appropriate disinfectants and deodorizing agents will be employed as previously described. - With particular reference to
FIG. 13 , thetray 14A may be defined by abottom wall 102, a firstcircumferential wall 104, a secondcircumferential wall 106, a thirdcircumferential wall 108, and alip 66A. Thebottom wall 102 may include afirst tier 110 and asecond tier 112. Thefirst tier 110 may be substantially planar and horizontal and may be joined to the second tier by a fourthcircumferential wall 114. The fourthcircumferential wall 114 may extend at least partially in the axial direction, such that thefirst tier 110 is an upper tier or shelf, and thesecond tier 112 is a lower tier. Thefirst tier 110 may form a substantially circular portion of thebottom wall 102 and may be concentrically located relative to the secondcircumferential wall 106. Accordingly, it will be appreciated that thefirst tier 110 may serve as an axial support for themoisture absorptive material 90 and/or thesuction cup plunger 18. - The first
circumferential wall 104 may extend from thesecond tier 112 at least partially in the axial direction, such that the fourthcircumferential wall 114, thesecond tier 112, and the firstcircumferential wall 104 substantially forms an annular channel ortrough 116. The channel ortrough 116 may serve as a receptacle for excess water or moisture that is not absorbed by themoisture absorptive material 90. - The second
circumferential wall 106 may extend radially from the firstcircumferential wall 104, such that the secondcircumferential wall 106 substantially forms an intervening annular shelf to assist in supporting themoisture absorptive material 90. Accordingly, an axial height H1 of the secondcircumferential wall 106 may be substantially equal to an axial height H2 of thefirst tier 110, such that the secondcircumferential wall 106 and thefirst tier 110 are substantially coplanar. It will be appreciated that thefirst tier 110 may assist in supporting a central portion of themoisture absorptive material 90, and the secondcircumferential wall 106 may assist in supporting a peripheral portion of themoisture absorptive material 90. An intermediate portion of the moisture absorptive material 90 (located between the central portion and the peripheral portion) may be substantially aligned with thetrough 116, in an unsupported configuration. - The third
circumferential wall 108 may extend axially from the secondcircumferential wall 106. Thelip 66A extends from the secondcircumferential wall 106, and may include aradially extending portion 118 and anaxially extending portion 120, such that thelip 66A forms a substantially U-shaped channel that seats over theupper lip 46 of thehousing 12. Thelip 66A terminates at the edge of the upper portion of thehousing 12 when thetray 14A is positioned within thehousing 12. Ideally, the body of thetray 14A is sized to fit securely within the body of thehousing 12. Extending outwardly from thelip 66A is grippingtab 71 which facilitates insertion and removal of the tray from the housing. - The plunger containment systems described herein may be offered commercially as a kit. The kit may include at a minimum, a tray and a moisture absorbing component as described above. The kit may also include a decorative shell and optionally a plunger. Again, once the moisture absorptive component is exhausted, refills could be purchased separately.
- The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
