Publication number: 20240115103Abstract: A cleaning wipe including a first nonwoven having a plurality of first nonwoven strips and a second nonwoven having a plurality of second nonwoven strips. The first nonwoven and the second nonwoven are each gate folded. More than about 10% of the second nonwoven strips are bent so that the free ends of the second nonwoven strips are bent out of plane relative to the fixed ends of the second nonwoven strips.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Nicola John POLICICCHIO, Brian Lee KEITH, Agnes Elaine WELLS, Terra Louise DENT, Nayda Liz RAMOS MEDINA

Publication number: 20240115102Abstract: A cleaning wipe including a first nonwoven having a plurality of first nonwoven strips, a second nonwoven having a plurality of second nonwoven strips, a third nonwoven having a plurality of third nonwoven strips, and a fourth nonwoven having a plurality of fourth nonwoven strips. The cleaning wipe includes a central bonded portion and the fourth nonwoven is further joined to the third nonwoven by a pair of outboard bonds. More than about 10% of the second nonwoven strips are bent so that the free ends of the second nonwoven strips are bent out of plane relative to the fixed ends of the second nonwoven strips.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Agnes Elaine WELLS, Nayda Liz RAMOS MEDINA, Nicola John POLICICCHIO, Brian Lee KEITH, Terra Louise DENT

Publication number: 20240115101Abstract: A product including a previously unopened closed container and a plurality of cleaning wipes contained in the container. The cleaning wipes include a first nonwoven having a plurality of first nonwoven strips and a second nonwoven having a plurality of second nonwoven strips. More than about 10% of the second nonwoven strips are bent so that the free ends of the second nonwoven strips are bent out of plane relative to the fixed ends of the second nonwoven strips.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Agnes Elaine WELLS, Brian Lee KEITH, Terra Louise DENT, Nayda Liz RAMOS MEDINA, Nicola John POLICICCHIO

Publication number: 20240116662Abstract: A process for packaging a product including the steps of providing a cleaning wipe that includes nonwoven strips and moving the cleaning wipe in a direction aligned with the longitudinal axis of the cleaning wipe. A gas is moved from positions on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and beyond the longitudinal edges of the cleaning wipe to bend the free ends of the nonwoven strips out of plane relative to the fixed ends of the strips.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Terra Louise DENT, Nayda Liz RAMOS MEDINA, Nicola John POLICICCHIO, Agnes Elaine WELLS, Brian Lee KEITH

Patent number: 11622663Abstract: A nonwoven sheet, having a first outwardly facing surface and a second outwardly facing surface. Wax is disposed in a wax pattern on the first surface; and oil is disposed in an oil pattern on the second surface. The oil pattern is not coincident the wax pattern so that wax blocks the oil from permeating through to the first surface. The first surface may be textured with peaks and valleys, having wax disposed on the peaks. This arrangement keeps the oil from contacting the target surface and leaving residue, while allowing the oil to collect and retain debris. The sheet may be executed as a dry sheet for cleaning surfaces such as floors or as a duster.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Nicola John Policicchio, Brian Lee Keith

Patent number: 10492656Abstract: A cleaning pad for absorbing liquids from a hard, target surface. The cleaning pad has a hydrophobic floor sheet, and a core joined to the floor sheet. The core has absorbent gelling material therein with a gradient distribution, so that the pad has a particular minimum absorbency as used with water or with common amine oxide cleaning solution. A hydrophilic smoothing strip is joined to the outwardly facing surface of said floor sheet. The cleaning pad provides both good absorbency and a coefficient of friction falling within a specified range judged advantageous for cleaning. The absorbency and coefficient of friction work well with both water and an amine oxide cleaning solution.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: David John Hoying, Fernando Ray Tollens, Brian Lee Keith, Jessica Lea Ellis
