Abstract
The invention relates to a detergent dispenser for dosing a quantity of solid detergent by dissolving some of the solid detergent in a liquid solvent, in particular in water, to form a detergent solution, and feeding the detergent solution to a detergent outlet. The dispenser comprises a housing (1) with a chassis (2) for wallmounting or the like and a solid detergent reservoir (3). The solid detergent reservoir (3) comprises a detergent compartment (4) holding the solid detergent, a solvent application compartment (7), a liquid solvent dispensing means (9), a solvent supply conduit (10) leading to the solvent dispensing means (9), a detergent solution collector means (11), and a solution conduit (12) connected to the detergent solution collector means (11) to carry away the detergent solution towards a detergent outlet. The invention is particularly convenient, because the solid detergent reservoir (3) is constructed as a modular unit easily separable from the housing (1). If different solid detergent reservoirs (3) for different types of solid detergent are provided, those are, even if they are different in the detergent compartment (4) and/or the solvent application compartment (7) and/or the liquid solvent dispensing means (9), fully compatible with the housing (1) as far as form and attachment points are concerned.
