TOILET BOWL TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME
A toilet bowl treatment apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a hanger having a detent, and a blister-type cartridge having a tray, a treatment material disposed in the tray, and a cover removably coupled to the tray over the treatment material. The cartridge also has a detent that releasably engages the detent of the hanger for detachably coupling the cartridge to the hanger.
Device for Dispensing a Plurality of Flowable Materials
A dispenser for flowable materials includes a tube having a tube interior cavity, an open proximal end, and a distal end having a dispensing orifice. A dividing wall extends along the tube interior cavity and divides the tube into a plurality of chambers. A first flowable material is positioned in a first of the chambers. At least one additional flowable material is positioned in another of the chambers. Each of a plurality of pistons is seated in a proximal end of one of the chambers. A handle includes a plurality of pusher bars, with each pusher bar engaging one of the pistons. When one of the handle and the tube is received in the other of the handle and the tube, the handle and tube move coaxially with respect to one another, and the pistons force the flowable materials from each of the chambers out of the dispensing orifice.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING ODORS
This disclosure relates to new methods and compositions for dispensing multiple compositions into a plurality of containers or atmospheres. In one embodiment, this disclosure pertains to treating and preventing offensive odors arising from toilets.
Container for a toilet rim block cage
The invention relates to a method for producing a container (11) with at least one opening (13) for storing cleaning agents for a toilet rim block cage (30), wherein a polymer film (20) is provided, and at least one opening (13) is punched into the polymer film (20). The at least one opening (13) is closed by a substantially gas-tight and removable closure material (21), and the film (20) together with the closed opening (13) is then three-dimensionally deformed by means of thermoforming. The invention also relates to the container (11).
MULTI-LAYER SELF-ADHESIVE GEL AND APPLICATOR
Provided is a multi-layer self-adhesive gel suitable for use in cleaning, disinfecting, deodorizing, and/or scenting of toilets, sinks, wash-bowls, bathtubs, showers, and for delivery of shower gel or shampoo in the shower, bathtub or wash-bowl. The multi-layer self-adhesive gel has at least two different self-adhesive gel layers. One gel layer (A) includes at least one solvent (a1), at least one adhesion promoter (b1) which is different from (a1), and at least one surfactant (c1) which is different from (a1) and (b1). Another gel layer (B) includes at least one solvent (a2), at least one adhesion promoter (b2) which is different from (a2). When the multi-layer self-adhesive gel is applied onto a flat surface of a substrate, (A) and (B) together have a continuous, essentially even surface, remote from the surface of the substrate. Also provided are an applicator containing the multi-layer self-adhesive gel and methods of filling the applicator.
TOILET RIMBLOCK AND METHOD OF MAKING SUCH RIMBLOCK
A dispenser system for treating a toilet, the dispenser system comprising: a tray (402) having a rim at least partially surrounding a plurality of compartments (404) housing a treatment composition, each compartment (404) having a first side configured to be closed to flushing water and a second side configured to be open to flushing water, the second side defining an aperture for receiving the treatment composition; and a hanger (406) configured to suspend the tray (402) from a toilet bowl rim; and a cover coupled to the rim for sealing the aperture of each compartment and configured to be removed by a user prior to use.
Sanitary Agent In Gel Form For Preventing Biofilms
A system having a WC basket that has at least one chamber, wherein: a self-adhesive sanitary agent in gel form is present in the chamber of the WC basket and adheres to the chamber sleeve; the chamber sleeve is completely closed on at least one side, and the agent adheres to the completely closed side of the chamber sleeve; the sanitary agent has at least one non-ionic adhesion promoter; the non-ionic adhesion promoter has at least one hydrophobic functional group and also includes a hydrophilic group; and the agent is acidic.
Restroom system
A restroom system includes a sanitation station configured for hand washing and a waste station configured to receive a waste material from a user. A suds mixture is flowable through the sanitation station and the waste station and is configured for hand washing and to receive the waste material. The suds mixture includes a fluid layer and a suds layer positionable between the fluid layer and the user so that when the suds mixture receives the waste material the suds layer changes from an original shape to absorb energy and allow passage of the waste material through the suds layer into the fluid layer and then returns toward the original shape to form a protective barrier between the user and the waste material in the fluid layer.

System and Methods for Storing and Dispensing a Flowable Material
A system for applying a flowable material to a surface that includes an applicator and a storage pod is disclosed. The storage pod may have a housing and a lid that engage each other to form an interior cavity that contains a flowable material. The applicator receives the storage pod and has a pusher mechanism to apply a force to the housing causing the housing to collapse. As the housing collapses, the flowable material is expelled from the storage pod. The applicator may be a reusable applicator where the storage pods can be used and reloaded, or a single use disposable applicator.
