Abstract: A closure including an upper wall (25) defining an opening (36) and a cylindrical snap on pipe (30) depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads (34) designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess (42) and a guidance recess (70). The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element (50) on a shoulder (80) of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure. The walls (44, 46) of the resistance recess are preferably symmetrical.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improving the stability of a peroxide containing bleach composition. It particularly relates to such a composition for hard surface cleaning applications including toilet cleaning as well as for fabric cleaning application. It relates to an antimicrobial composition comprising a peroxide bleaching agent which in the presence of a cationic surfactant and an organic acid is more stable than has been heretofore known. This is achieved by inclusion of a stabilizer which in the present invention is a polyalkylene glycol compound.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically preparing baked waffle cone sheets, for use in preparing a waffle cone to be filled with a frozen confectionery product, from waffle cone batter, the apparatus comprising a baking station, the baking station comprising a plurality of baking plate locations onto which the waffle cone batter is to be deposited, each baking plate location comprising an essentially planar baking surface comprising a characteristic waffle region comprising a first array of parallel linear grooves, so as to produce a characteristic waffle pattern in the baked waffle sheet from the resulting parallel linear protrusions in the baked waffle sheet; wherein each baking plate location also comprises a graphical region, the graphical region being located within the characteristic waffle region and comprising grooves corresponding to a graphical image, and also comprising at least one linear groove, each linear groove being contiguous with, dimensionally similar to and collinear with a groove in the character

Abstract: The present invention relates to antiperspirant composition, particularly to antiperspirant composition having high levels of oil. The present inventors have found that when compositions having an unsaturated oil such as sunflower seed oil is present in the antiperspirant composition together with high total oil content present in the composition, the fabric which comes in contact with the composition in the axilla tends to get stained on repeated use. The present inventors have found that the problem of staining or yellowing of fabrics is significantly lowered when a combination of an alkoxylated aliphatic ether with an alkyl chain length of C3 to C10 and specific polyethylene glycol diester of fatty acid with chain length of C12 to C18 is used in an antiperspirant composition having high total oil content including unsaturated oil and an antiperspirant active.
