Abstract: An automatic toilet bowl treatment device, wherein said device comprises: a fluid reservoir, a pump means, a hanger means, and a fluid spray means wherein the entire device is configured so that it can be suspended from, preferably wholly suspended from, a part of a toilet bowl and in particular, a part of the toilet bowl rim.

Abstract: Provided are highly aqueous liquid acidic hard surface cleaning composition having a pH of about 3 or less which comprise: an acid constituent, preferably comprising sulfamic acid and preferably at least one or more further co-acids, and preferably wherein the acid constituent comprises both sulfamic acid and formic acid; at least one nonionic surfactant based on monobranched alkoxylated C10/C11-fatty alcohols; an organic solvent constituent which comprises at least one glycol ether solvent, preferably a glycol ether solvent which desirably mitigates or masks malodors of the acid constituent, especially when the acid constituent comprises formic acid; optionally a cosurfactant constituent, including one or more nonionic, cationic, amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants; optionally one or more further constituents selected coloring agents, fragrances and fragrance solubilizers, viscosity modifying agents including one or more thickeners, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers including organic and inorganic salts,

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions which not only effectively kill a broad spectrum of microorganisms present on surfaces on contact but continue to kill microorganisms for a period of time thereafter.

Abstract: Aqueous, thickened, acidic compositions which exhibit a pH of about 7 or less preferably 5 or less, and comprise an organic acid constituent selected from formic acid, citric acid and oxalic acid, a thickening constituent or constituents based on one or more gums, particularly xanthan gum which form a thickener system in the inventive composition, and at least one detersive surfactant based on glycoside surfactants, water in an amount of at least 85% wt., preferably at least about 90% wt., and one or more further optional constituents, wherein the compositions exclude: (a) surfactant compounds which include a nitrogen atom in the surfactant compound, and (b) inorganic acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of improved toilet dispensing devices for use in conjunction with a sanitary appliance particularly a toilet, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: Hard surface cleaning composition particularly suited for the cleaning of kitchen or cooking stove having a cooktop which includes a glass plate which is effective in the cleaning treatment of stained glass plates, and which is especially effective in the treatment of dried or baked on milk stains.

Abstract: A device useful for the delivery of a treatment composition, and a fragrancing effect to a sanitary appliance, especially a toilet bowl.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical modified release formulation of guaifenesin and dextromethorphan. The formulation may comprise a hydrophilic polymer, preferably a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and a water-insoluble polymer, preferably an acrylic resin, in a ratio range of about one-to-one (1:1) to about nine-to-one (9:1), more preferably a range of about three-to-two (3:2) to about six-to-one (6:1), and most preferably in a range of about two-to-one (2:1) to about four-to-one (4:1) by weight. This formulation capable of providing therapeutically effective bioavailability of guaifenesin for at least twelve hours after dosing in a human subject. The invention also relates to a modified release product which has two portions: a first portion having an immediate release formulation of guaifenesin and a second portion having a sustained release formulation of guaifenesin, wherein one or both portions further comprises dextromethorphan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved toilet dispensing devices for use in conjunction with a sanitary appliance particularly a toilet, and methods for their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved cartridge-type dispenser for a chemical treatment composition which, when contacted with water or other liquid will at least partially dissolve or disperse, and thereby elute one or more chemical compounds to the water or other liquid. The improved cartridge-type dispense may be used itself, or in conjunction with a further apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical sustained release formulation of guaifenesin and at least one additional drug ingredient. The formulation may comprise a hydrophilic polymer, preferably a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and a water-insoluble polymer, preferably an acrylic resin, in a ratio range of about one-to-one (1:1) to about nine-to-one (9:1), more preferably a range of about three-to-two (3:2) to about six-to-one (6:1), and most preferably in a range of about two-to-one (2:1) to about four-to-one (4:1) by weight. This formulation capable of providing therapeutically effective bioavailability of guaifenesin for at least twelve hours after dosing in a human subject. The invention also relates to a modified release product which has two portions: a first portion having an immediate release formulation of guaifenesin and a second portion having a sustained release formulation of guaifenesin, wherein one or both portions has at least one additional drug ingredient.
