Abstract: A flexible self-standing pouch made from at least one layer of plastic material bonded to form a closed inner chamber for storing liquid. Peripheral portions of the wall material are contoured and then bonded to form a closed pouring spout at a corner of the pouch. The configuration of the spout is defined by the contour of the sealing in the vicinity of that pouch corner. The pouring spout is opened by cutting the pouch corner at an angle. The bonded peripheral edge has a generally rectangular contour except for an inwardly curved portion corresponding to a recess in the wall material, which recess partly defines the spout configuration. This recess has a maximum height which is greater than the maximum depth measured in a direction transverse to the direction along which the height is measured. Further, the recess may either begin at the top of the pouch or at a point along the side which is spaced from the top.

Abstract: A soil release promoting copolymer of poly(ethylene terephthalate/ethylene isophthalate) and poly(oxyethylene terephthalate/oxyethylene isophthalate) having a weight average molecular weight in the range of 6,000 to 40,000 is prepared by reacting an ethylene terephthalate/ethylene isophthalate copolymer with polyethylene glycol in the presence of a transesterification catalyst. The soil release promoting copolymer provides improved soil release properties for oil and greasy stains on polyester fabrics at high and low wash temperatures, is stable even at high alkalinity levels, and can be used at lower loadings than conventional soil release polymers without loss of efficacy.

Abstract: A hair conditioning shampoo is described, which contains C.sub.6, C.sub.8 and/or C.sub.10 alkyl sulfate and/or C.sub.6, C.sub.8 and/or C.sub.10 alkyl lower alkoxylate sulfate as an anionic detergent component, a water insoluble conditioning agent(s) from the group of silicones (preferably a certain type of aminosilicone), polyethylenes, paraffins, isoparaffins, microcrystalline waxes, C.sub.18-36(mixed) fatty acids or such triglycerides, high fatty alcohol ester of a high fatty acid (such as stearyl stearate), beeswax, cationic conditioning agent, such as a quaternary ammonium or any mixture thereof, and a stabilizer for the shampoo, in water. Among adjuvants that may be present are lauric monoethanolamide, cocodiethanolamide, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, other thickeners and viscosity modifiers, pH adjusting agents, antioxidants perfumes and colorants. The presence of the C.sub.6, C.sub.8 and or C.sub.10 alkyl sulfate and/or C.sub.6, C.sub.8 and/or C.sub.

Abstract: A three-position hinge, for mounting a leaf portion to a center portion of a folding table so as to be pivotable between upward, horizontal, and downward positions closely spaced to the center portion, includes a first mounting plate secured to one horizontal surface of the center portion, a recess formed adjacent the first mounting plate recessed into the center portion, a first pivot member integral with the first mounting plate having a pivot pin positioned in the recess, a second mounting plate secured to the leaf portion, and a second pivot member integral with the second mounting plate and provided with a pivot sleeve which is coaxially mounted on the pivot pin. The pivot axis of the pivot pin is positioned equidistant from the upper and lower plane surface and the lateral edge of the center portion in order to maintain the close spacing in the three positions.

Abstract: A dentifrice for treatment of hypersensitive dentine containing montmorrolinite clay.

Abstract: Dental plaque-disclosing compositions comprising FD&C Red No. 40 which selectively stain plaque formed on tooth surfaces, making plaque easily observable to the naked eye at visible light wave-lengths.

Abstract: Dental floss and toothpicks (picks) incorporate one or more coagulants to retard and stop bleeding during flossing. In addition, or alternatively, the floss and picks incorporate tartar control, antiplaque and/or anti-bacterial agents.

Abstract: A flexible pouch formed from a single sheet of plastic material folded over upon itself along an umbrella like fold assembly to provide the opposed walls of a chamber for storing a product and an optional second sheet to form the bottom of the chamber. The walls and the bottom are sealed along their periphery to form the chamber. The pouch has a self-opening spout formed in part by the fold assembly which expands and springs open when the sealed end of the spout is cut off. The fold assembly not only provides a large spout opening, but also provides a spring force which keeps the spout open so that all the product may be emptied from the chamber.

Abstract: Non-toxic water-soluble pharmaceutically acceptable compound derivative of peroxydiphosphoric acid when administered orally or systemically supplements inhibition of malignant myeloma carcinoma tumor development of tumor cells in vitro and actual tumor development in vivo in warm blooded animals.

Abstract: A dripless closure assembly for a container comprising a body seated in the neck of the container and which has a pouring spout. A measuring cup which also functions as a cap is disposed over the pouring spout and has a first threaded outwardly disposed skirt for threaded engagement with the neck of the container. A second skirt inward of the outer skirt and extending into the body is provided for eliminating dripping on the threads.

Abstract: A polarizable material that includes a nonisotropic solution useful for making electrical devices. In one embodiment, the polarizable material is comprised of commercially available solid bar soap, neat soap or a polymorphic solid solution and employed as the dielectric in a capacitor or an electrolyte in a supercapacitor. In another embodiment the nonisotropic solution is employed as an electrolyte in an electrochemical battery.

Abstract: Aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition with improved anti-filming and anti-spotting properties and method of using the detergent composition. The detergent composition comprises aluminosilicate zeolite anti-filming and anti-spotting agent, inorganic or organic builder salts, chlorine bleach, bleach-stable detergent and a thickener agent. The compositions provide reduced filming and spotting on dishware, glassware, china and the like, particularly in hard water, and remain stable against phase separation.

Abstract: Thixotropic aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition with improved anti-filming properties and method of using the detergent composition. The detergent composition comprises alumina or titanium dioxide anti-filming agent, inorganic builder salts, chlorine bleach, bleach-stable detergent and a thixotropic thickener. The compositions provide reduced filming on dishware, glassware, china and the like, particularly in hard water, and remain stable against phase separation.

Abstract: A striping device for forming a plurality of surface strips of two different colored materials on a base material. The striping device includes an inserted filled in a squeezable tube which has an outlet. The insert includes a central cylinder having a conical portion integral therewith for forming a first space between the conical portion and the tube and a second space between the conical portion and the central cylinder. The spaces are filled with differently colored striping material. Openings are provided communicating the first space with the central cylinder and passageways are provided communicating the second space with the central cylinder. The central cylinder is provided with grooves for guiding the striping material.
