Abstract: This invention relates to a biological activator for a septic tank of the type comprising a product in the form of solid particles, which is non-corrosive, non-toxic, finely divided, and of large specific area, comprising a colloidal phase in suspension and a flocculent phase, having a reducing power of mineral origin, its function being to form a support for anaerobic microbial flora in a septic tank in order to increase the bacterial saturation density in a septic tank for an equivalent quantity of nutrients, its specific area being (in m2/g) between about 25 and 66, more particularly between about 35 and 66, and advantageously between about 46 and 60, and a cation exchange capacity (in meq/100 g) between about 9 and 38, more particularly between about 14 and 38, and advantageously between about 24 and 35.

Abstract: A filter (1) for the purification of water comprises an inlet (2) for water to be treated, an outlet (3) for treated water, filtration elements interposed between the inlet and the outlet. The filtration elements comprise two networks (5, 6) of tubes respectively for distribution and drainage associated respectively with the inlet (2) and the outlet (3), disposed substantially opposite and spaced from each other and provided with perforations (7) distributed longitudinally along their transverse walls, filter material (8) interposed between the two networks (5, 6), and distribution elements associated with the network (5) of distribution tubes (5a) and adapted to ensure a diffusion of the water to be treated toward the filter material (8).

Abstract: A cleaning and disinfecting composition for household use comprising ethoxylated fatty alcohol; co-surfactant; isopropyl alcohol; polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride; didecyldimethylammonium chloride and benzalkonium chloride.

Abstract: The device of the invention permits the dispensing of measures of a given volume of a liquid contained in a deformable container. It provides increased safety. It comprises in particular a one-piece displaceable safety element (5) comprising an upper gripping part (6) having a transverse closing face (7), a hollow central part forming a valve (8) and a lower part (9) forming a slide and outlet orifice, also hollow. This safety element thus comprising an axial hollow (10) is mounted so as to slide axially on the tube (1) via its lower part (9) between two limimt positions where it may be held. In the lowre closed position where the central part (8) of the safety element (5) is active, it then prevents the passage of liquid from the container to the cup via the tube (1) and its feed and outlet holes (3).

Abstract: Product for activating the operation of a system for anaerobic digestion of organic residues and especially of a septic tank or similar while being placed in this system and especially the septic tank. Its distinguishing feature is that, owing to the qualitative modification of the hydrolysis process taking place in the system and especially the septic tank, its function is to fractionate the cellulose fibers and to densify the lightest flocs which it contains, the effect of this being to decrease the volume of the sludge present in the system and especially the septic tank, at an equal solids content.

Abstract: The packaging for the liquid composition which is ready for use, produced by some suitable dilution and mixing in a support product such as water of a concentrated liquid composition, comprises a bottle (1) having an overall rigidity which gives it a self-supporting property, the bottle having a hollow body (2) of known volume, having an opening (3) and a removable cap (4), the bottle (1) being intended to finally receive the composition which is ready for use and to permit the preparation of the latter; a container (6) of smaller size than the bottle (1), having an overall rigidity which gives it a self-supporting property, the container having a hollow body (8) for receiving the concentrated liquid composition, in the extension of the body (2), having an opening (9), an integral measuring device (11) fixed rigidly in the opening (9), a removable cap (10) closing the measuring device (11); a hollow recess (17) in the body (2) in which the container (6) may be accommodated, this recess (17) having an opening

Abstract: An all-purpose septic tank comprising a chamber (1), a waste water inlet pipe (2), an outlet pipe (3) for conveying the clarified water to a land treatment system, means (5) for effecting clarification through deposition of the heaviest substances on the bottom (4) of the chamber (1) and through accumulation of the greasy substances and light particles on the surface S and for at least partially liquefying these substances by means of anaerobic fermentation, means (6), incorporated inside the chamber (1) itself, for protecting the land treatment system so as to prevent it becoming clogged up, the clarification and liquefaction means (5) and the protection means (6) being located inside a single compartment of the chamber (1).

Abstract: A packaging for a product in a powder form including an upper housing, a co-axial lower housing a plug positioned internally and functioning in conjunction with the lower housing, and a tapered middle part for temporarily engaging the lower end section of the assembly including the upper housing and plug to the lower housing such that the assembly can be closed. A stop is also provided which restricts the axial sliding of the assembly and determines the maximum opened position of the assembly. A means is also provided to block the packing in the closed position which prevents axial sliding of the assembly but permits axial swiveling of the assembly in relation to the lower housing.

Abstract: A holder for a toilet cleaning product including a container for the cleaning product, such as a perfumed liquid; a pre-use and pre-assembly closure member, such as a plug, for the container; and a member for securing the container to the toilet; an air deodorizer is provided which is physically separable from the holder closure member but adapted to operate in combination therewith so that, with the holder and deodorizer in the inoperative state, the closure member not only seals the container but also seals and integrally retains the deodorizer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biological activator for septic tanks. The biological activator is characterized by the fact it is in the form of a non-corrosive, non-toxic, finely-divided product having a significant specific surface constituting a base for the optional anaerobic microbic flora, permitting an increase in the density of bacterial saturation in the septic tank for an equivalent quantity of nutriment.

Abstract: An animal litter, in particular for cats, is in the form of granulated solid material having a large grain size. The material is expanded and has a specific weight value between 50 grams/liter and 200 grams/liter. In an example, the material is constituted by mica phlogophite in the form of flake treated exfoliation.

Abstract: An applicator comprising a reservoir and two applicator pads for applying a liquid, semi-liquid or pasty adhesive contained in the reservoir. Each pad has a duct extending therethrough parallel to the main axis of the reservoir which is preferably tubular. A removable hollow cover is provided at each end of the reservoir, the covers enclosing the pads. Each cover has a pin projecting therefrom and extending through the duct in the pad. The pin acts as a piston in its duct when a cover is removed and replaced at one end of the reservoir, forcing adhesive through the duct at the other end of the reservoir from which the cover has been removed.The pads are of sponge or flexible porous foamed plastics, and may be of different sizes. The size of each duct and its related pin are related to the size of the associated applicator pad.
