Abstract:
A dispenser with a collapsible bottle (10) and a valve assembly for the throat of the bottle is disclosed. The valve assembly (18) includes a first hollow valve section to be sealed in the throat of the bottle and an elongate, hollow second valve section having apertures in the side wall. The second valve section telescopes in the first section between a closed position so that the apertures are located within the channel of the first valve section to close the bottle and an open position where the apertures are in flow communication with the interior of the bottle (10). The first and second valve sections are dimensioned to receive an elongate probe forming part of a dispenser pump mechanism. The plastic bottle (10) is provided with crease lines (12, 13) located on the front, back and sides so the bottle collapses as liquid is pumped out of the bottle to prevent exposure of the liquid contents to air.
Abstract:
There is disclosed various terpene based cleansing formulations for skin. The cleaning formulations include the ingredients of water in which there is dispersed a terpene, nonionic surfactants, corn meal scrubber and preservatives including antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. In one aspect of the invention the skin cleansing formulations includes orange terpenes as the solvent. The nonionic surfactants present in the formulation provide stabilization of the terpene/water mixture, do not soften or otherwise attack the corn meal, and provide detergency for suspending the lifted soil.
Abstract:
A cleaning lance is provided in which water from an inlet (1) is directed either to an upper, rinsing barrel (5) or to a lower, foamer barrel (12). The latter is provided with a mixing chamber having an inlet for detergent supplied via a flow control valve (2). A water jet injected into the mixing chamber via a Venturi nozzle (3) draws in and mixes with the detergent and the resulting mixture is ejected by a further Venturi nozzle (4) and draws in air from an exterior air inlet (20) to form a jet of cleaning foam.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a foaming device for dispensing foam. The device includes a collapsible liquid container (30) and a foam pump (36) attached to the container outlet. The foam pump includes two enclosures, the first being bonded in the throat of the container and the second being telescopingly received in the first. When assembled, the two enclosures define an air chamber (104) and a fluid chamber (50) each having outlets which merge by the foamer outlet. The fluid chamber (50) accepts liquid from the container (30), and when the second member is moved with respect to the first member, the fluid chamber (50) is pressurized to open an outlet valve (20), and air is simultaneously expelled through the outlet. The liquid and air commingle as they pass through a wire, plastic or fabric mesh (84) thereby forming the foam. There is included a dispenser housing for releasably receiving the collapsible liquid container and foam pump. The dispenser includes a push button pivotally attached thereto which is coupled to the second enclosure so that as the push button is moved the pump is actuated.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a detergent doser for dispensing liquid doses from a liquid dispenser. The liquid dispenser has a nozzle through which the detergent is dispensed. The detergent doser includes a container having an outer wall and an inner wall defining therebetween a chamber. The doser is provided with a passageway extending through the container defined by the inner wall for receiving therein the nozzle. The inner wall includes an aperture and the doser is movable with respect to the nozzle between a closed position in which the nozzle outlet is closed off by a portion of the inner wall and an open position in which the nozzle outlet and aperture cooperate to provide a fluid flow path between the dispenser and the chamber. In the closed position the detergent doser acts as a lid or cap for the dispenser.
