Abstract: A dispenser includes a container for storing a fluid. The container has a seal at a discharge end that is made from a material capable of being penetrated. A lid is fixedly attached to a closed end of the container. The lid has a set of vents arranged on the lid beyond an outer wall of the container. An absorbing device is disposed around the outer wall of the container. A cage structure includes the lid and a base. The cage structure is attached to the lid and base and is combined to enclose the container and absorbing device. The base includes a set of blades that are positioned inside the base and aligned with the seal in the container. The cage structure includes a set of ramps and the base includes a set of tabs. The base is placed in the cage structure with the tabs configured to slide along each ramp when the base is rotated with respect to the cage structure to draw the base and cage structure together. As the base is rotated, the set of blades travel into the container and puncture the seal.

Abstract: A process is provided for carrying out a task, such as enabling a customer to submit a report, feedback or other comments electronically to an online computer program, then providing a prompt on-site response to those comments. The process may be enabled by a system that includes the online computer program, which is accessible from a mobile electronic device, as well as a detectable code unique to a location from which comments are to be provided, and to which the comments may pertain. The detectable code may be scanned or otherwise sensed with the mobile electronic device, which may then communicate with the program (e.g., by way of application software on the mobile electronic device) to provide data regarding the location to the program. The program may then initiate an appropriate response to the data, or task, which may be promptly, or even immediately, carried out at the location.

Abstract: A container for containing an air freshener, comprising: (a) a first cup adapted to contain the air freshener, having a closed bottom and a first open top exposing the air freshener to the air; (b) a removable first seal covering the first open top to prevent loss of the air freshener prior to use; and (c) an attachment member on the closed bottom for connecting with a second cup to remove a second seal covering a second open top of the second cup. A method of using a first container to remove a cover on a second container, comprising: (a) contacting a bottom of the first container with a top of the second container; (b) rotating the first container relative to the second container, so that attachment means on the first container attaches to the cover of the second container; (c) removing the first container from the second container, thereby removing the cover from the second container.

Abstract: A multiple-purpose deodorant dispenser unit is provided, comprising: (a) first apparatus adapted for alternatively receiving (i) an aerosol spray deodorant container, (ii) an open deodorant container having gel, liquid or solid deodorant therein, or (iii) a wick cylinder having deodorant therein; (b) second apparatus adjacent to the first apparatus adapted for alternatively containing (i) a spray actuating head device for activating a nozzle in the aerosol spray deodorant container to emit a spray of vaporized deodorant, or (ii) a fan head device for directing a movement of air in the vicinity of either the open container or the wick cylinder; and (c) a third apparatus having electrical means for alternatively operating the spray actuating head device or the fan head device.

Abstract: A urinal cleaning unit for cleaning a urinal having periodic water flow therethrough comprises: (a) a mounting device for attaching the urinal clean unit to a urinal; (b) a disposable unit adapted for releasably attaching to the mounting device; and (c) a chamber in the disposable unit for containing a cleaning agent adapted to intercept a portion of the water flow. A method of cleaning a urinal having periodic water flow therethrough comprises: (a) mounting a disposable unit to a urinal; (b) enabling a portion of the water flow to flow through the disposable unit; and (c) mixing the portion of the water flow with a cleaning agent in the disposable unit to form a mixture of water and cleaning agent; and (d) releasing the mixture of water and cleaning agent to the urinal.
