Abstract: A lubricant composition for a resin conveyor, comprising specific (A) a nonionic surfactant and (B) water and, if necessary, (C) (a) a cationic surfactant and/or (b) an amphoteric surfactant, and a method for using same. Using a specific nonionic surfactant as the main component provides excellent washing ability, lubricating ability, and stability in storage. In particular, because excellent ability to prevent stress cracking is attained, the lubricant composition for a resin conveyor can be advantageously employed for transporting PET containers. Furthermore, adding a specific cationic surfactant makes it possible to obtain a lubricant composition for a resin conveyor also demonstrating an effect of inhibiting microorganism (fungi) generation, without degrading the various original performances (effects). Furthermore, a preferred method for using those lubricant compositions for resin conveyors is also provided.

Abstract: A floor cleaning machine having a speed control and steering member which operates under operator-applied deformation thereof. The invention provides improved consumer convenience at steering and/or speed control.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus (2) fox delivering fluid or liquid to a container (e.g. a bottle) (1), has a container holding device (3, 3?) and fluid delivery means (30) delivering fluid to a dispensing outlet (18), under control of an actuation member (20) which causes the fluid delivery means to deliver fluid in response to movement of the actuation member from its start position. A dispensing lock (43) has a first position in which it blocks movement of the actuation member (20) from its start position, and a second position in which it permits movement of the actuation member. A release member (5) that releases the dispensing lock includes a movable release member which is moved by the container, during its insertion into the refill position, so as to release the dispensing lock by bringing the dispensing lock to said second position, thus enabling fluid to be delivered.

Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate from a container with a dilutent. The dispenser includes a rotatable and slideable eductor assembly. Both a high and low flow rate can be obtained with simultaneous adjustment of concentration of the chemical concentrate. The dispenser has a high degree of accuracy of the amount of dilution of the chemical concentrate as well as positive positioning of the high and low flow rate. The dispenser also provides for proper selection of concentrate during operation and has a lock-in feature during operation.

Abstract: An eductor for mixing two liquids wherein the eductor includes a closed or non-air gap back flow prevention member. The vacuum profile of the eductor is altered by changing an opening in a passage portion to controllably divert water flow around the venturi tube or diverting the water without the opening. This affords the changing of the vacuum profile without redesigning the entire eductor.

Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate from a container with a stream of diluting water. The dispenser includes two valve members which control in one instance the water flow and in another instance the amount of concentrate being siphoned into the water flow. The dispenser is of a simplified design yet can afford a variety of different chemical concentrations, as well as various flow rates of the water.

Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate with a dilutent from a container. The dispenser includes two slideable eductors one of which is also rotatable. Both a high and low flow rate can be obtained with simultaneous adjustment of concentration of the chemical concentrate. The dispenser has a high degree of accuracy of the amount of dilution of the chemical concentrate as well as positive positioning of the high and low flow rate.

Abstract: To provide an anti-soiling detergent composition that has excellent detergency, endows cleaned surfaces with a pronounced anti-soiling effect, effectively sustains the anti-staining effect, possesses superb storage stability, and can be used on restrooms, sinks, baths, and other damp, hard surfaces. The anti-soiling detergent composition contains (A) 0.05 to 10 mass % of a polyetheramide-modified organopolysiloxane and/or amino-modified organopolysiloxane, (B) 0.1 to 30 mass % of a specific surfactant, (C) 0.1 to 20 mass % of a metal chelating agent, and (D) water.

Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate from a container with a dilutent. The dispenser includes a two piece slideable eductor assembly, one of which is also rotatable. Both a high and low flow rate can be obtained with simultaneous adjustment of concentration of the chemical concentrate. The dispenser has a high degree of accuracy of the amount of dilution of the chemical concentrate as well as positive positioning of the high and low flow rate. The dispenser also provides for proper selection of concentrate during operation and has a lock-in feature during operation.
