Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid acidic hard surface cleaning composition comprising an acid system, wherein the acid system comprises oxalic acid and a second acid selected from the group consisting of: maleic acid; lactic acid; glycolic acid; and sulphamic acid; and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for labeling a container comprising (a) first winder capable of unwinding a heat transfer label from a heat transfer label roll, (b) first vacuum box capable of containing at least a portion of the heat transfer label unwound from the first winder, (c) vacuuming means, (d) heater plate, and (e) heat label applicator. The use of one or more vacuum boxes enables containers to be labeled at a greater speed.

Abstract: A container for holding an article includes a deformable sleeve and an inner tray. In one embodiment, the inner tray is adapted to hold the article in the container in an orientation within the deformable sleeve with a portion of the article extending from the inner tray and at a position adjacent an opening in the deformable sleeve through which the article may be removed. In another embodiment, the inner tray includes at least one button adapted to be received in a corresponding aperture in the deformable sleeve. The at least one button and aperture cooperate to resist disengagement between the inner tray and the deformable sleeve by stress placed on the sleeve, and the inner tray is adapted to hold the article in the container in an orientation within the deformable sleeve.

Abstract: A bottle comprising a body capable of containing a fluid; a spout fluidly connected to the body; a collar comprising at least one attachment area, said collar capable of removably securing a cap; a skirt functionally connected to the collar; and a drip concentrator concentrically interposed between the spout and the collar; wherein the bottle is continuous. In one embodiment, the skirt visually engages with the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a spray-dried powder comprising (i) anionic detersive surfactant; (ii) from 0 wt % to 10 wt % zeolite builder; (iii) from 0 wt % to 10 wt % phosphate builder; and (iv) optionally from 0 wt % to 15 wt % silicate salt; wherein the process comprises the steps of: (a) forming an alkaline slurry in a mixer, the slurry comprising: (v) from 0 wt % to 15 wt % anionic detersive surfactant; (vi) from 0 wt % to 35 wt % water; and (b) transferring the alkaline slurry from the mixer through at least one pump to a spray pressure nozzle; (c) contacting an acid anionic detersive surfactant precursor to the alkaline slurry after the mixer and before the spray pressure nozzle to form a mixture; (d) spraying the mixture through the spray pressure nozzle into a spray-drying tower; (e) spray-drying the mixture to form a spray-dried powder; and (f) optionally, contacting an alkalinity source with the alkaline slurry and/or the acid anionic detersive surfactant precursor, and

Abstract: Product displays usable to organize products shelved in aisles at a retail store. The product displays each having shelves and a shelf mounting device. The shelf mounting device having a flexible member extending in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction of the product display for flexibly supporting a vertical channel holding a product for display.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses a lavatory bowl rim-block comprising: a) a container holding a liquid, perfume-containing composition; b) a dispensing means for dispensing said composition from under the rim of a lavatory bowl; and c) a fragrance delivery component.

Abstract: The invention provides a three-dimensional structure having at least one structure surface, the structure being adapted to be attached to an apertured surface with the structure surface facing the apertured surface; and a curved hook element having a base and a distal end, the distal end of the hook element being adapted for insertion into an aperture in the apertured surface, and the base of the curved hook element being slidably affixed to the structure surface of the three-dimensional structure such that movement of the base is constrained along a line within the structure surface. The device can be used in a method of attachment onto an apertured surface, in particular the inner surface of an automatic laundry washing machine drum, and is particularly suitable for dispensing rinse additives into the rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine.
