Abstract:
A faucet mountable water conditioning devices include a relatively simple configuration that allows for reduced cost, easy installation, and a pleasing aesthetic, in one or more implementations, a faucet mountable water conditioning device includes a universal faucet mounting mechanism. The 'universal faucet mounting mechanism allows the faucet mountable water conditioning device to connect and seal to a wide variety of faucet designs and sizes simply by pressing the mounting mechanism over the faucet. The faucet mountable water conditioning device can also include a base configured to hold a water conditioning source, in one or more implementations a connector can couple the base to the mounting mechanism; thereby, allowing the base to move between active and inactive positions.
Abstract:
A shower additive dispenser assembly including an arm member. A receptacle is mounted to the arm member. A body member has a cavity formed therein for retaining a fluid, the body member is removably mounted to the receptacle. A microporous flow restrictor is disposed at the body member. The microporous flow restrictor is configured for allowing the fluid to exit the body member.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of dispensers are disclosed herein. One exemplary dispenser is a soap or sanitizer dispenser. The dispenser includes a housing. A removable and replaceable concentrate container for holding concentrated soap or sanitizer is located within the housing. A concentrate pump is in fluid communication with the concentrate container. A diluent container for holding a liquid is also located within the housing and a diluent pump for pumping the diluent is also included. The dispenser includes a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the concentrate pump and the diluent pump. The dispenser includes an outlet. When concentrated soap or sanitizer is pumped from the concentrate container, it mixes with diluent pumped from the diluent container to form a diluted mixture. The diluted mixture is dispensed at the outlet of the dispenser.
Abstract:
Methods for introducing a substantially uniform concentration of a functional agent into a flowing stream of water using a shaped composition. The composition may be shaped and sized to be inserted into a device configured to be attached over the end of a faucet The shaped composition comprises a dissolvable region including a functional agent (e.g., an anti-microbial sanitizing agent). A non-dissolvable region disposed adjacent to the dissolvable region may optionally be provided. The substantially non-dissolvable region remains substantially intact as the dissolving region is progressively dissolved, introducing the functional agent into a flowing stream of water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved skin care device comprising a container or carrier, granulated material, and active ingredients for skin care. Said container or carrier is filled, or can be filled, with the granulated material, and comprises a surface structure and/or walls (3) having openings (15), the openings (15) being designed or dimensioned in such a way that at least some of the particles in the granulated material inside the container or carrier partially jut out of said openings (15).
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of dispensers are disclosed herein. One exemplary dispenser is a soap or sanitizer dispenser. The dispenser includes a housing (102). A removable and replaceable concentrate container (302, 902) for holding concentrated soap or sanitizer is located within the housing (102). A concentrate pump (316) is in fluid communication with the concentrate container (302, 902). A diluent container for holding a liquid is also located within the housing (102) and a diluent pump (382, 901) for pumping the diluent is also included. The dispenser includes a mixing chamber (338) in fluid communication with the concentrate pump (316) and the diluent pump (382, 901). The dispenser includes an outlet. When concentrated soap or sanitizer is pumped from the concentrate container (302, 902), it mixes with diluent pumped from the diluent container to form a diluted mixture. The diluted mixture is dispensed at the outlet (350) of the dispenser.
Abstract:
Shaped composition's are provided for use in delivering a substantially uniform concentration of a functional agent (e.g., an antimicrobial sanitizing agent) to a Sowing stream of water. The composition may be shaped and sized to be inserted into a device i¾nitgured to be attached over the end of a faucet. The shaped composition may include at least two different regions (e.g., layers), A dissolvable region includes a| functional agent (e.g.. an anti-nncrobial sanitizing agenfi A substantially non- dissolvable region is disposed adjacent to the dissolvable region (e.g., adjacent the bottom surface) so as to cover a bottom surface of the dissolvable region. The geometry of the shaped composition, as well as the presence of the substantially non-dissolvable region aids in providing a substantially uniform concentration of functional agent Itfroughoui the life of the dissolvable region.
