Patent number: 8658588Abstract: A composition for cleaning hard surfaces which is self-adhering to a wet or dry hard surface through a plurality of flows of water thereover. The composition is a gel having a viscosity of about 600,000 cP to about 1,500,000 cP and is capable of being manually applied, i.e., in absence of an applicating dispenser, to a hard surface. The gel composition with high viscosity provides for continuous cleaning until depletion, or may be used for one-time cleaning at any time between application of the composition to a hard surface and depletion of the gel composition.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Russell B. Wortley, Michael E. Klinkhammer, John R. Wietfeldt, Thomas A. Strash, Debra A. Strasser

Patent number: 7629001Abstract: Volatile impregnated substrates, such as wicks and mats, that can be used in a dispensing device that uses a heat source or otherwise uses active means to promote the release of the volatile material from the substrate are disclosed. The preferred substrate has a structure including sand particles adhered together by a binder to form a network of pores and passages. The binder is selected from thermoset polymeric materials and mixtures thereof. A volatile material is disposed in the pores before the substrate is installed in the dispensing device. The impregnated substrate is positioned in the dispensing device on or near the heat source of the dispensing device. The heat source is activated thereby elevating the temperature of the substrate such that volatile material is released from the pores. In one embodiment, the sand particles comprise silica sand and the binder is a cured novolac resin.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Brian T. Davis, Robert R. Emmrich, Michael J. Aulozzi, Padma Prabodh Varanasi, Michael C. Fryan, Kenneth J. Welch, Stanley J. Flashinski, Debra A. Strasser
