Patent number: 5043090Abstract: The invention is a process for manufacturing an iodophor filler for a lavatory cleaning cake. The process involves mixing in a dry-mixer means or "Turbulizer" a dry filler composition. The dry filler composition contains an adsorbent and the dry-mixer means provides a uniform turbulent flow of the dry filler composition as the composition passes through the dry-mixer means. The method then involves wetting the dry filler composition with a liquid iodophor while the composition is in the uniform turbulent flow. Agglomerating of the wetted filler composition then occurs within a controlled residence time of the wetted filler composition in the dry-mixer means whereby the iodophor is substantially, uniformly distributed throughout the dry filler composition. The dry filler composition, desirably, includes both a dry adsorbent and a dry absorbent. This invention includes the product of the process.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: August 27, 1991Assignee: Kiwi Brands, Inc.Inventors: William R. Camp, Charles J. Bunczk, Peter A. Burke

Patent number: 4705181Abstract: A child-resistant safety cap for a container for liquids such as strong cleaners has an inner cap and an outer cap selectively engagable by teeth on the caps requiring axial pressure on the outer cap to engage and threadably loosen the inner cap from a neck of the container. The inner cap includes a protruding plug member that extends into a free end of a nozzle on the container, spaced from the threaded part of the container neck. Cylindrical inner surfaces of the outer cap conform to outer surfaces of the inner cap, the inner and outer caps remaining closely aligned with respect to the container neck. Complementary structure between the inner cap and the nozzle engage when the inner cap is fully tightened. The safety cap closes a container having an S-shaped bend accumulating a charge of liquid in a trap in the bend, the nozzle having a rearward conduit part reaching into the trap.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1986Date of Patent: November 10, 1987Assignee: Kiwi Brands, Inc.Inventors: Peter A. Burke, Walter Duering, Martin Gut
