  • Patent number: 8309191
    Abstract: A packaged product. The package has a plastic container and a light-sensitive liquid composition contained in the plastic container. The container has a plastic container for protecting a light-sensitive liquid composition from light. The container has: i) a top; ii) a bottom opposing to the top; iii) a first layer extending from the top to the bottom, wherein the first layer is non-opaque; and iv) a second layer superposed with a part of the first layer, wherein the second layer has a blocking agent. The container has a non-superposed area covering the bottom. In the non-superposed area the first layer is not superposed with the second layer. The non-superposed area has a height h from about 2 mm to about 50 mm.

  • Patent number: 7651992
    Abstract: A foam-generating kit contains a non-aerosol container with a foam-generating dispenser and a high surfactant composition, preferably within the container. The high surfactant composition comprises, by weight of the high surfactant composition, at least 20% of a surfactant system. When the foam-generating dispenser is employed with the high surfactant composition, the foam-generating dispenser generates a foam having a foam to weight ratio of greater than about 2 mL/g.

  • Publication number: 20060151542
    Abstract: A container is disclosed. The container has a body with a top end and a bottom end, a pump with an upper end and a lower end, a nozzle which is connected to the upper end of the pump and a hand rest which is located between the nozzle and the body for allowing one finger operation to push the upper end of the pump when the body is held at one hand. The lower end of the pump is connected to the top end of the body. In addition, the nozzle has a finger position thereupon. In some embodiments, the container can be used when it rests on a surface such as a table top, and also can be used in a portable manner to dispense products while being held with one hand.

  • Patent number: 6884766
    Abstract: A liquid rinse-added fabric care composition that is characterized by at least two visually distinct phases when the composition is at rest and wherein at least one of the phases contains a fabric care agent is provided. The composition forms a temporary mixture when shaken that allows a consumer to dose a representative sample of the composition and spontaneously re-forms at least two visually distinct phases when allowed to remain at rest. The fabric care agents present in one or more phases of the composition may include fabric softener actives, color care agents, perfumes, antibacterial agents, malodor control agents, ultraviolet protection agents, anti-abrasion, anti-wear & fabric integrity agents, wrinkle control agents, and mixtures thereof. The composition should also contain less than about 5%, preferably less than about 3%, and even more preferably less than about 1% by weight of detergent actives.

  • Publication number: 20040254253
    Abstract: A foam-generating kit contains a non-aerosol container with a foam-generating dispenser and a high viscosity composition, preferably within the container. The high viscosity composition has a viscosity of at least about 0.05 Pa*s. When the foam-generating dispenser is employed with the high viscosity composition, the foam-generating dispenser generates a foam having a foam to weight ratio of greater than about 2 mL/g.

  • Patent number: 5971645
    Abstract: A hand-held container for predissolving a predetermined amount of detergent with a predetermined amount of solvent comprises a housing, a resilient side wall, and a dispensing passage. The dispensing passage has a flow restriction portion and an applicator at the distal end. The container is intended for use with fluids with a viscosity of less than about 500 cP. When so used, and aligned to a dispensing orientation, fluid flows out of the dispensing passage at a rate from about 0 ml/min to about 300 ml/min, unless manual pressure is exerted on the resilient side wall.
