Abstract:
The invention is a solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes. The first shape is an inwardly curved bar having an inner opening. The second shape is an insert which is capable of interlocking with the bar by insertion into the bar inner opening. The solid chemical concentrate provides chemical systems having active constituents which may be the same, different but compatible or functionally and chemically incompatible combined within one matrix to provide at least one substantially continuous surface. The system may also comprise an aqueous soluble or dispersible polymeric film cover.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for creating ready-to-use products from a concentrated form of the products is disclosed. The apparatus generally comprises a source of one or more concentrated products. These concentrated products are delivered to a point of use which typically may be a small, consumer-sized container. The apparatus dilutes the concentrated product to an appropriate level. The final, ready-to-use product can be a wide variety of cleaning products. A method is also disclosed for creating this ready-to-use product.
Abstract:
A method for creating ready-to-use products from a concentrated form of the products for sale at a retail price is disclosed. The apparatus to crate the ready-to-use products generally comprises a source of one or more concentrated products (32, 34, 36). These concentrated products (32, 34, 36) are delivered to a point of use which typically may be a small, consumer-sized refillable container (20). The refillable container (20) comprises an identifier (22, 54) having a first condition indicative of the refillable container (20) and a second condition indicative of refilling the container (20). The apparatus (10) dilutes the concentrated product to an appropriate level. The final, ready-to-use product can be a wide variety of cleaning products. The method provides for a larger profit to the retailer than normally available from the sale of pre-filled cleaning products.

Abstract:
A unit dose package dispenser (1) including a drawer (13) and ramp (7) such that unit dose packages are urged through an aperture (10) and into the drawer (13). The ramp (7) is elevated from the bottom region (6) of the container (1) so as to isolate the contents of the container from moisture. A cover (14) formed integrally with the container front wall (4) tends to protect the contents of the drawer (13) from moisture in the surrounding environment.
Abstract:
The invention is an alkaline cleaning system which includes an alkaline detergent composition having a pH greater than 10.5 when diluted to a 1 wt-% aqueous solution, and an alkali stable continuous polymeric film dispersible or soluble in aqueous liquids covering the detergent composition. The invention also includes methods of using the alkaline cleaning system by applying an aqueous diluent automatically (by machine) or manually through partial or complete dissolution of the film covered solid.

Abstract:
Distributeur (1) d'emballages de doses individuelles comportant un tiroir (13) et une rampe (7), de manière à ce que des emballages de doses individuelles soient poussés à travers une ouverture (10) et tombent dans le tiroir (13). La rampe (7) est surélevée par rapport à la région inférieure (6) de la boîte (1) afin d'isoler le contenu de la boîte de l'humidité. Un panneau de couverture (14) solidaire de la paroi avant (4) de la boîte tend à protéger le contenu du tiroir (13) de l'humidité régnant dans le milieu ambiant.
