Abstract Dispensers for chemicals usually have ball check valves and other moving parts which often corrode due to the action of the chemical. Other types may eliminate the moving parts, but have to be re-charged each time they are used. This device consists of a container having a water inlet and a water outlet at the under end. A U-shaped tube depends within the container and is secured to the inlet and outlet means is provided with a plurality of small holes to allow some of the water to enter a container. An outlet branch is secured within the container, to the outlet means and water is picked up from the container by the outlet branch and joins the mainstream of water passing through the U-shaped tube. Chemical in a fabric bag is placed in the container and dissolves in the water in the container and is picked by the outlet tube. When the water is shut off, the container may drain by siphoning action until the outlet branch is reached by the water level which breaks the siphon action so that some water always remains in the container covering the bag in order to dissolve the chemical contained therein.
A chemical dispenser adapted to be connected with a source of water under pressure and to be used in conjunction with a powdered water soluble chemical in said dispenser; comprising in combination a container, a detachable cover for said container, water inlet and water outlet means connected to said detachable cover, said water inlet means being connectable to said source of water under pressure, an apertured tubular connector below said detachable cover and within said container when said detachable cover is attached to said container, connecting said water inlet means with said water outlet means, said tubular connector being substantially U-shaped and including a main portion lying substantially parallel to said detachable cover and spaced above the base of said container and being provided with a plurality of relatively small holes through the wall of said main portion, a water outlet branch connected to said water outlet means below said detachable cover and in said container when said detachable cover is attached to said container, said water outlet branch taking the form of a T pipe tubular member connected between said tubular connector and said water outlet means with one leg of said member communicating with the interior of said container above said main portion of said tubular connector and a handle extending between said water inlet and water outlet means exteriorally of said cover.
