Patent number: 6929161Abstract: The invention provides a cartridge for dispensing fluent materials into creases of garments to render them more permanent. The cartridge comprises a plastic elongated body having an integral tongue projecting laterally of the body at one end and through which the fluent composition is dispensed by passing a piston along the inside of the body. The tongue is a narrow member and is aligned with integral laterally projecting fins which fit into the crease of a garment to be rendered permanent. The tongue has a narrow rectangular bore into which fits a nozzle also having a narrow rectangular bore. The tongue bore and the nozzle bore are aligned with the fins, so as to provide maximum exactness in alignment of the body, crease and ribbon of composition which is dispensed from the nozzle. The design maximizes application efficiency by ensuring registry with the crease and nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2004Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Clantex LimitedInventor: Kenneth Houlbrook

Patent number: 4619382Abstract: The invention provides a cartridge for use in dispensing a crease setting composition into a temporary crease of a garment in order to make that crease permanent. The cartridge is connected to a mechanism which by movement of the cartridge and mechanism relative to the crease causes the dispensing of the composition from a nozzle at the end of the cartridge. The end of the cartridge is of reinforced construction in order to support the nozzle in a firm and effective manner. The nozzle is normally in the form of a tube which fits in a bore in end and the bore intersects the end of a cavity inside the cartridge which is conical in shape so as to give a small area of intersection.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1984Date of Patent: October 28, 1986Assignee: Clantex LimitedInventors: Kenneth Houlbrook, Paul A.
