Patent number: 8840045Abstract: A fluid dispensing device is disclosed that is capable of producing two distinct spray patterns. The device may include a rotatable hub having a first barrel for producing a first spray pattern and a second barrel for producing a second spray pattern. The barrels may be oriented in different directions with a predetermined angle between directions, such as approximately 180 degrees. A shell may be coupled to and rotatable with the hub. The shell may include a first portion having a first structural feature corresponding to a characteristic of the first spray pattern and a second portion may having a second structural feature corresponding to a characteristic of the second spray pattern. The structural features inform the user of a characteristic of the spray pattern that will be discharged by the device by the associated barrels, thereby permitting the user to intuitively select the desired spray pattern.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Matthew N. Thurin, Darren K. Robling, Linda Moy Madore, Charles P. Althoff, Hideaki Matsui, Brook S. Kennedy, Stian Tesdal

Publication number: 20120312895Abstract: A fluid dispensing device is provided that is capable of discharging fluid in multiple different directions simultaneously. The device may include a deflector which redirects an initial stream of fluid from the container into multiple sub-streams that are oriented in different directions. The device may create a spray pattern that substantially covers an entire 360 degree area surrounding the device, which may be advantageous for certain applications such as toilet bowl cleaner dispensers. A control valve or flow restrictor may be provided for preventing unintended discharge of fluid when the container is inverted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: S.C.

Patent number: 5741876Abstract: A method of obtaining fine-grained, free-flowing powdered silicone resins is disclosed. The powdered silicone resins contain very low or no residual aromatic solvents or other volatile organic compounds. The method includes the steps of (1) preparing a solution of an MQ silicone resin dissolved in a volatile liquid organosilicon solvent, such as hexamethyldisiloxane, and (2) spray-drying the solution obtained in step (1) to produce the silicone resin powder.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Leslie Earl Carpenter, II, Jason Richard Cassiday, Leon Neal Cook, Linda Moy Madore, Theodore Arnold Oberhellman, III, Randall Gene Schmidt, Hongxi Zhang

Patent number: 5665804Abstract: The viscosity of a solvent is modified by thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer, a surfactant, and water; emulsifying the mixture to a gel phase; diluting the emulsion with water; adding a cure package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker, or both, or a self catalytic crosslinker); and then without removing the water from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and pastes. These latex thickened solvent compositions have beneficial properties such as clarity, shelf stability, and ease of preparation; and therefore have wide areas of application, especially as additives in antiperspirants, deodorants, and other personal care applications.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1996Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Michael Philip Louis Hill, Eric Jude Joffre, Linda Moy Madore
