  • Patent number: 8622246
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing system may include a fluid outlet connected to a flexible fluid reservoir and a docking station configured to receive the fluid outlet and align the fluid outlet. In some examples, a fluid pump that defines a driveshaft aperture that is connected to the fluid outlet. In some additional examples, a drive motor is attached to the docking station that includes a driveshaft for driving the fluid pump. The docking station may align the fluid outlet so that the driveshaft aperture defined by the fluid pump is co-axially aligned with the driveshaft. This may allow an operator to efficiently take an empty reservoir out of service and replace it with a new reservoir full of fluid.

  • Publication number: 20070253926
    Abstract: A packaged cleaning composition concentrate includes a container for holding a cleaning composition concentrate, and a cleaning composition concentrate. The cleaning composition concentrate has a solids content of at least about 1 wt. % based on the weight of the cleaning composition concentrate. The cleaning composition concentrate includes a surfactant component, a dispersant component, and at least one of a sheeting agent or a humectant. A method for forming a use composition is provided.

  • Patent number: 6407051
    Abstract: The invention relates to microemulsion compositions containing water, a mixture of nonionic surfactants, and oil. The microemulsion provides for the removal of hydrophobic particularly oily soils from a variety of substrates. The compositions can be used for hard surface, laundry cleaning, hand washing, and car washing. Typical hydrophobic soils are oily based soils derived from petroleum oils or natural fats and oils also containing a significant proportion of particulate soils such as carbon, common dirt and other non-water soluble typically hydrophobic soil particulate. The microemulsion composition can include a splitting agent such as an amphoteric surfactant for controlling the conditions under which the microemulsion will split.
