<p>Lavatory apparatus comprises a lavatory bowl (1) with a tank (2) for retaining flush water. A lid (5) arranged to cover a top opening (33) of the lavatory bowl (1) comprises a reservoir (10) which is fixed in orientation relative to the lid. The reservoir (10) is preferably inside the lid (5), but alternatively could be arranged outside of the lid. Fluid communication means (4, 9) between the tank (2) and the lavatory bowl (1) is provided by a flush pipe (9) or a cavity (4), depending upon the particular design of lavatory and passes flush water from the tank to the lavatory bowl. Fluid retained in the reservoir (10) is dispensed into the flush water, either in the tank (2) or lavatory bowl (1), but preferably in the flush pipe (9) or cavity (4) in response to the lid (5) being moved from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position. A chamber (11) preferably mounted in the lid (5) regulates the flow of fluid to the flush pipe (9) or cavity (4) to approximately 1 ml in a dispensing action.</p> |
