  • Publication number: 20030236127
    Abstract: The present invention relates in general to golf training devices and, more specifically, to a portable putting trainer suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Unlike other putting training devices, the trainer of the invention provides feedback to the user concerning the speed of the putt, its direction, and the distance it would have traveled past the hole if not holed, collects, sorts and retains putted balls according to direction and predetermined distance ranges, and particularly trains the user to strike the ball on the proper line with such force as to impart an initial speed sufficient to at least cover the distance to the hole with a safe speed margin in reserve, and preferably with the optimum speed. It accomplishes this by means of a target, a ramp, and one or more troughs and stalls constructed to identify, sort and retain balls according to direction and predetermined distance ranges.

  • Publication number: 20030186828
    Abstract: The invention relates to detergent or cleanser tablets, which have at least one cavity and whose content of non-ionic surfactants ranges from 5 to 25 wt. % with regard to the tablet. In multi-phasc tablets, it is sufficient to add an appropriate material to the mixture that forms the phase containing the cavity. The invention also relates to a method for producing recessed tablets.

  • Patent number: 6448212
    Abstract: The invention relates to a laundry/dishwasher detergent portion, more particularly for use in a washing/dishwashing machine for a program taking place in an aqueous phase, containing (a) a first measured quantity of a washing preparation which passes into the aqueous phase at a temperature below or equal to a first temperature; (b) a second measured quantity of a washing preparation which passes into the aqueous phase at a temperature below or equal to a second temperature which is above the first temperature; (c) at least one material which surrounds at least one of the measured quantities of a washing preparation and which dissolves in water at a certain temperature. The invention also relates to a process for the production of such a laundry/dishwasher detergent portion and to a washing process and a cleaning process using the laundry/dishwasher detergent portion.

  • Publication number: 20020010123
    Abstract: Claimed are laundry detergents and cleaning products which comprise customary ingredients and, characteristically, further comprise an active substance preparation which has been compounded with an LCST substance. By means of compounding with an LCST substance it is possible to incorporate active substances which, in a washing or cleaning process which passes through one or more temperature stages, are released only after a heat treatment, e.g., only in a rinse cycle.
