Patent number: 10413148Abstract: Cleaning articles including a heat engine incorporated therein. The cleaning article may include a substrate (e.g., a non-woven wipe) including one or more layers. The heat engine may be in the wipe or pad, and includes a reactive metal composition which upon contact with a salt water (e.g., saline) composition, reacts to produce heat. The cleaning article may thus produce water vapor and/or steam upon activation of the heat engine. A venting structure may be provided adjacent to or surrounding the heat engine that includes an impermeable material (e.g., impermeable to water and/or air or other gas), which includes one or more vents through the impermeable material. The venting structure directs water vapor and/or steam to a desired face of the cleaning article, away from the user. A heat barrier layer may insulate a user's hand from the generated heat, and/or a handle may be attachable to the pad.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Inventors: William R. Ouellette, Kerry Azelton, Brian Lin, Vismadeb Mazumder, Maria Ochomogo, Bryan K. Parrish, Michael J. Petrin, Richard J. Uriarte

Publication number: 20180030391Abstract: Cleaning articles including a heat engine incorporated therein. The cleaning article may include a substrate (e.g., a non-woven wipe) including one or more layers. The heat engine may be in the wipe or pad, and includes a reactive metal oxide which upon contact with water, reacts to produce heat. The cleaning article may thus produce water vapor and/or steam upon activation of the heat engine. A venting structure may be provided adjacent to or surrounding the heat engine that includes an impermeable material (e.g., impermeable to water and/or air or other gas), which includes one or more vents through the impermeable material.

Patent number: 9850645Abstract: The invention relates to free floating automated toilet bowl cleaning devices that dispense a volatile composition (e.g., a fragrance) into air surrounding the toilet and dispense a cleaning composition (e.g., hypohalite bleach) into toilet tank water on which the device freely floats. The device includes a first compartment for housing the volatile composition. The first compartment is permeable to air, with the permeable portion of the first compartment positioned above a water line when the device is floated. The device includes a second compartment for housing the cleaning composition. The second compartment includes one or more inlets through the device body to allow fluid communication with the liquid on which the device floats during use. A floatation member is positioned above the second compartment (e.g., between the first and second compartments).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2013Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Sarah Coulter, Elizabeth Knipmeyer, Andrew Kilkenny, Stephen R.

Publication number: 20160270623Abstract: Cleaning articles including a heat engine incorporated therein. The cleaning article may include a substrate (e.g., a non-woven wipe) including one or more layers. The heat engine may be in the wipe or pad, and includes a reactive metal composition which upon contact with oxygen, reacts to produce heat. The cleaning article may thus heat water or a cleaning composition, and may produce water vapor and/or steam upon activation of the heat engine. A venting structure may be adjacent to the heat engine, and may include one or more vents through the impermeable material. The venting structure may allow air to access the reactive metal composition, and/or may direct water vapor and/or steam to a desired face of the cleaning article, away from the user. A heat barrier layer may insulate a user's hand from the generated heat, and/or a handle may be attachable to the pad.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Applicant: THE CLOROX COMPANYInventors: BRYAN K.
