Abstract

A detergent dispenser for a toilet is mounted between a source conduit communicated with a water source and an inlet conduit communicated with a tank. The detergent dispenser includes a body having a cap removably mounted to a top thereof, an inlet defined in a bottom thereof and in communication with the source conduit, a separation plate mounted to the bottom thereof, thereby defining an inlet chamber in communication with the inlet and an outlet chamber in communication with the inlet conduit, and a compartment defined therein and communicating with the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber. A detergent support is mounted in the compartment for supporting a solid detergent thereon. A valve member is mounted to the inlet and includes a biasing member to urge the valve member to block the inlet when not flushing, and the valve member is moved upwardly when flushing such that water from the water source enters the compartment via the inlet chamber and passes through the mesh-like structure to dissolve the detergent and exits the body via the outlet chamber. A resilient water sealing member is mounted above the outlet chamber and allows the water which enters the compartment to exit the body via the outlet chamber during flushing and discommunicates the compartment and the outlet chamber when not flushing.
