Abstract: Novel urea-ethoxamer inclusion compounds and a method for their production is disclosed. The new method includes mixing of the ethoxamer with a urea-organic solvent slurry and the subsequent addition of small amounts of silica substances before final curing of the mixture. Ethoxamer content of the new inclusion compounds can be as high as about 65 percent by weight. The new compounds are in the form of free flowing powders and are suitable for post addition to spray dried detergent formulations in order to substantially increase the nonionic surfactant content of the particulate detergent product.

Abstract: A golf club head cover having a three ply wall construction of a water impervious outer layer, non-moisture absorbent textile material inner liner and an intermediate foam plastic layer.

Abstract: A diluting and dispensing container having a neck portion for receiving and puncturing the bottom of a capsule of concentrated material. The capsule has an annular storage compartment, a central passageway and a frangible bottom wall.

Abstract: A spray dried, non-phosphate, substantially unbuilt detergent bead composition post treated with non-ionics, comprising approximately by weight, (a) 2-30% of a dibasic acid component, (b) up to 35% of an anionic, zwitterionic or amphoteric detergent material, (c) up to 5% of a ionic surfactant, (d) 0 to 7% of an alkali metal silicate, the balance being filler.

Abstract: A washing machine or dishwasher includes means for admixing with waste wash water a suitable chemical compound to convert the soluble phosphate in the wash water to insoluble form before discharge of the waste solution to a sewer, drain or other means of disposal. Among the useful chemical compounds employed are calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and aluminum sulfate, which convert soluble phosphates, including tripolyphosphate and pyrophosphate salts, to insoluble materials, which may be removed from the effluent. Also within the invention are accessories for use with conventional washing apparatuses for effecting the insolubilization reaction, and corresponding processes.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for filling containers such as toothpaste tubes comprises inner and outer tubular members providing a core column of one fluent paste material separated from an annular column of a second fluent paste material, with the inner tubular casing being slotted for admitting streams of the second paste material peripherally into and along the core column before discharge from the nozzle assembly, as to produce a striped effect in the discharged composite product.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a soap curd dispersant in clear liquid form to be added to the laundry in either the wash cycle or the rinse cycle. The soap curd dispersant comprises a higher alkyl dimethyl amide or higher alkyl dimethyl sulfonamide, a hydrotrope, and an organic solvent.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for high intensity shear refining of soap in a soap extruder including at least one rotating auger in a housing for high intensity shear mixing of a mass soap ranging from 3,000 to 40,000 shear cuts per minute, the auger including a shank having a plurality of flights and kneader blocks. The soap extruder includes a housing having a barrel bore for receiving said auger with said auger terminating short of said bore to form a free space, an extrusion outlet extending from said bore, a nozzle plate is secured to said housing in alignment with said extrusion outlet. The nozzle plate has at least one inwardly tapering aperture of lesser diameter than that of said extrusion outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and process for producing striated soap bars using a high intensity mixer extruder. A soap mass is levigated and homogenized in a high intensity mixer barrel and forced into a dye injection assembly wherein dye is injected into the soap mass. The soap mass with the injected dye is then forced through conically tapered nozzles to form a striated soap bar.

Abstract: Mild light duty detergent formulation including an anionic surfactant having skin irritating characteristics and an effective amount of a homopolymer of ethylene oxide to reduce said skin irritation.

Abstract: A package for such liquids as men's cologne and after shave lotion comprising a cork covering for a bottle and cap in the form of two body members recessed for receiving the cap and bottle and so arranged as to facilitate the handling and opening and closing of the bottle and cap. The cork covering serves to protect against breakage while providing a particularly appealing outer configuration.

Abstract: A portable beverage dispenser having a housing which contains a casing provided with a plurality of bottle receptacles for the purpose of holding bottles of beverage in an inverted position. Beverages flow from the bottle to individual cooling cups, which are disposed within an ice compartment, and from the cooling cups through pipes to individual spigots mounted on the outside of the housing. A hinged panel is provided on the casing to prevent accidental spilling of the beverage into the ice compartment when the bottles are installed in the housing. The housing has the overall configuration of a wooden barrel and is mounted on a wheeled chassis.

Abstract: This invention relates to an integrally molded captive cap assembly including a threaded base for attachment to a container and a lead tube which projects into a hollow cap which is pivotally connected to the base. An integrally molded pair of spring members are disposed between the cap and the base and have end portions pivotally connected to the base and to the cap. The spring members bias the cap toward one of two positions. When the cap is in a closed position, the spring members bias the cap toward the closed position and when the cap is opened past an intermediate position, the spring members bias the cap toward an open position.
