One of his latest patents is a liquid dispensing device designed for use in the flush cistern of a water closet. This device features a reservoir for the liquid formulation, which is fed from an inverted container, maintaining a constant liquid level in the reservoir at the mouth of the container. A displacement body in the form of a piston, which may be magnetic, moves within a bore to dispense liquid through an opening. The piston is actuated by a float that rises and falls with the water level in the cistern during flushing. In another embodiment, a direct mechanical coupling is utilized. Liquid seeps past the piston when in the lowered position and is raised to the overflow outlet when the cistern fills. Additionally, liquid can be dispensed on a downward stroke of the piston, allowing for a slow replenishment of the bore.
Another notable patent is for a lavatory cleansing block that consists of two co-extruded parts. The first part contains a chlorine-releasing bleach, while the second part includes components such as a perfume or colorant that do not need to be bleach resistant. This design prevents the migration of components by avoiding a common hydrophobe in the two parts. The perceived
