Abstract
An apparatus is provided which is positioned in a reservoir tank of a conventional tank toilet and which injects cleaner into a toilet bowl operatively connected to said reservoir tank when the toilet is flushed. The apparatus includes a 'T' connector, a diaphragm valve connected to a collapsible supply bag, an injection tube connected to said diaphragm valve and running the length of said supply bag and exiting the supply bag at the top of the bag through a sealed exit. When the toilet is flushed, the 'T' connector diverts water from a water inlet valve located within the reservoir tank and directs the water to the diaphragm valve. The water operates the diaphragm valve, which forces cleaner from the valve through the injection tube, and out the injection tube into an overflow pipe located with the reservoir tank. The overflow pipe leads to the toilet bowl; thus allowing for the cleaner exiting the tube to be enter the bowl to clean the toilet. After the flushing ends, the water from the water inlet valve is reduced, allowing the diaphragm to return to a relaxed position and cleaner to fill the valve from the supply bag.
