Abstract: A process for treating a substrate comprised of sorptive material is provided herein. The sorptive material may be an absorbent synthetic material such as polyester. The material is designed to be used for cleaning surfaces in an ultraclean environment. The process first comprises unwinding a roll of sorptive material as a substrate into a cleaning system. The cleaning system utilizes several sections. These include a pre-washing section, an acoustic energy washing section, and a drying section. Preferably, the process of moving the substrate through the cleaning system is continuous. The acoustic energy washing section employs one or more acoustic energy generators. In one aspect, the process also includes cutting the substrate into sections to form wipers after moving the substrate through the drying section. Thereafter, the wipers are placed into a bag and the bag is sealed.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a blow-molded container includes a mold, a mandrel, and a die. The mold includes a bottom section for forming a container bottom, a sidewall section for forming a plurality of sidewalls, a spout section for forming a spout, and a neck section for forming an upwardly converging neck member coupling the sidewalls to the spout having a convex radius transition section of approximately three inches in a container having an overall height of approximately ten inches. The mandrel and the die are operative to form a parison that assumes an ovoid cross-section within the mold with the outer surfaces of the parison positioned approximately equidistant from sidewall section of said mold.

Abstract: Wipe dispensers are provided. In one aspect, a wipe dispenser includes a housing and a handle coupled to the housing. The housing defines a cavity that includes a liquid cavity portion adapted to receive liquid therein and a wipe cavity portion adapted to receive wipes therein. In another aspect, a wipe dispenser includes a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion with the first housing portion movable relative to the second housing portion. The housing defines a cavity therein. The wipe dispenser also includes a wall and a biasing member. The wall is positioned in the cavity and adapted to separate the cavity into a liquid cavity portion and a wipe cavity portion, and the biasing member is positioned between the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The biasing member is adapted to bias the first housing portion away from the second housing portion.

Abstract: An improved lightweight container incorporates a thinner wall structure in an essentially octagonal container having a bottom member, a plurality of sidewalls, a spout, an upwardly converging neck member coupling the sidewalls of the spout, a handle molded into the container and a radiused transiting section between the sidewalls and the spout which eliminates weakened corner sections and improves overall strength to weight ratios.

Abstract: A blow-molded container includes a bottom member, a plurality of sidewalls, a spout for receiving a closure cap, a handle section proximate to the spout, and an upwardly converging neck member. The plurality of sidewalls includes a first pair of opposing parallel sidewalls that are spaced apart by a first dimension, a second pair of opposing parallel sidewalls are spaced apart by the first dimension, and a third pair of sidewalls that are spaced apart by a second dimension that is different than the first dimension. The upwardly converging neck member couples the sidewalls to the spout and has a convex transition section defining a continuous curvature that extends from the sidewalls to the spout.
