Abstract:
A cleaning device includes: a fixing portion provided on a frame; a cleaning member; and an accommodating portion. The cleaning member includes: a blade portion contacted to an image bearing member (drum); and a supporting member. The supporting member includes one end portion where the blade portion is provided, another end portion including a portion-to- be-fixed for being fixed at the fixing portion, and a bent' portion between the one end portion and the another end portion in a side remote from a surface of the drum toward an outside with respect to a line connecting the portion-to-be-fixed and a contact portion where the blade portion is contacted to the drum. The portion-to-be-fixed is provided downstream of the contact portion with respect to movement direction of the drum. Between the frame and the another end portion, a gap for permitting elastic deformation of the another end portion is provided.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses detergent compositions comprising polymeric polycarboxylates and polyamine soil release agents. The composition has improved soil dispersancy properties, especially for polar soils.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid laundry detergent composition comprising: (a) from 0.1wt% to 10wt% of an alkoxylated anionic detersive surfactant; (b) from 1wt% to 25wt% of an non-alkoxylated anionic detersive surfactant; (d) from 0wt% to 4wt% zeolite builder; (e) from 0wt% to 4wt% phosphate builder; and (f) from 0wt% to 10wt% silicate salt.
Abstract:
A cleaning member includes: a blade portion contacted to the member-to-be-cleaned with respect to a counter direction to a movement direction of the member-to-be-cleaned; and a flexible supporting member. The supporting member includes one end portion where the blade portion is provided, another end portion including a portion-to-be-fixed for being fixed at the fixing portion, and a bent portion between the one end portion and the another end portion in a side remote from a surface of the member-to-be-cleaned toward an outside with respect to a line connecting the portion- to-be-fixed and a contact portion where the blade portion is contacted to the member-to-be-cleaned. The portion-to-be-fixed is provided downstream of the contact portion with respect to movement direction of the member-to-be-cleaned. The blade portion is supported by the supporting member in contact to only the one end portion.
Abstract:
A granular detergent composition comprising from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of an anionic sulphonate surfactant, from about 0.01% to about 45% by weight of a hydrotrope, and from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of a cationic surfactant. The granular detergent composition is substantially free from anionic sulphate surfactant. The granules are optionally coated with water soluble material. Process for preparing the granular detergent composition.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses detergent compositions comprising lipase enzymes and polyamine scavenger agents. The lipase containing detergent composition has improved body soil and grease stain removal properties.
