Abstract (en)
The present invention is to provide a dispensing device comprising a dispenser (1) having an upper channel (10) and a bottom opening (12) for storing liquid cleaner; a connecting cup (16) extended downward from the dispenser (1) including at least one aperture (162) on a bottom thereof, and a float (2) in the connecting cup (16) opposite the bottom opening (12). While the dispenser (1) is mounted in a toilet tank (3), the float (2) is adapted to either engage with or move away from the bottom opening (12) as the water level in the toilet tank (3) rises or falls. As such, the dispenser (1) is adapted to automatically dispense liquid cleaner to the toilet tank (3) or stop dispensing liquid cleaner to the toilet tank (3) as the float falls or rises.
