Patent number: 9113771Abstract: A cleaning system includes a cleaning implement having a handle and an attachable fluid dispenser that can be secured to the handle of the cleaning implement. A support can be located on the handle, and the support has a section that extends away from the handle. The attachable dispenser includes a container connected to a body having a dispensing mechanism for delivering a fluid from the container and out of a discharge orifice of the body. The container has an inwardly directed recess dimensioned to matingly engage the section of the support when the attachable dispenser is attached to the handle.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: S.

Publication number: 20140007906Abstract: An attachment for a cleaning implement having a support, such as a mop head, is disclosed. The attachment includes a base, a first wall extending away from a first end of the base, and a second wall extending away from a second end of the base. The second end of the base is opposite the first end of the base. At least a portion of the first wall is inclined toward a center of the base, and at least a portion of the second wall is inclined toward the center of the base. The attachment includes a stack of sheets wherein each sheet can be individually peeled from the stack of sheets. The attachment can be removably secured to the mop head by pressing the mop head onto the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Inventors: Julie L.

Patent number: 7984832Abstract: A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Nicholas L. Pivonka, Daniel Aaron Huitt, Laura Itzkowitz, Tami O'Connell, Jodi Lynn Russell, Agnete Enga, John Kiechel, Nasahn Sheppard

Patent number: 7578388Abstract: A retail or advertising display contains visual cues which convey the area of use and the method of use of a novel vertical pump-up dispenser to the consumer. Having a sponge or other substrate on top of the dispenser conveys the area of use of the dispenser. The dispenser has a large actuator surface designed to convey that it can deliver a composition to a broad substrate area, such as a sponge, in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. Having a hand over the substrate and dispenser conveys the one-handed method of cleaning that the dispenser allows. There may be additional indicia of use, such as arrows pointing down. The retail display may contain the dispenser and the substrate packaged together.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Tami O'Connell, Laura Itzkowitz, Ricardo Ruiz de Gopegui, Jodi Lynn Russell, Peddy Khatami, Agnete Enga, John Kiechel, Nasahn Sheppard

Patent number: 6170405Abstract: A collapsible table which is constructed of a main section which has a substantially planer work surface. The main section is composed of two equally sized parts which are hingedly connected together which permits folding of the main section from a position with the parts in alignment to a position with the parts in juxtaposition. Hingedly connected to each edge of the main section is a leg assembly. Each leg assembly is to be movable, upon actuation of a squeezable handle, from a retracted position alongside of the main section to an extended position substantially transverse to the main section. When in the transverse position, each leg assembly is to be locatable in any one of a plurality of different positions each of which will locate the work surface at a different height from the surface on which the collapsible table is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Intrigo, Inc.Inventors: Maxim Weitzman, Ravi K.
