Abstract: A dispenser (1) for a pack of wet wipes, has a stiff plastics material body (2) with a peripheral mounting flange (3) for attachment to a sidewall of a pack of wipes. A tear-open closure (4) is integrally formed with the body (2). A portion of a periphery of the closure (4) is tearable away from the body (2) to leave the closure (4) attached to the body (2) by a hinge (5). The closure (4) is mounted at an opening in the body (2) across which is stretched a silicone membrane having a circular dispensing opening through which wipes are dispensed from a flow-wrap plastics pack of wipes on which the dispenser (1) is mounted.

Abstract: This invention relates to a formulation for use in personal care products, cleaning products and the like. Ideally, the formulation is a natural preservative and disinfectant formulation comprising activated water and grapefruit seed extract.

Abstract: In a process for manufacturing wet wipes and the like products dry cotton pads are formed (1) and delivered to a vacuum chamber (2). Within the vacuum chamber (2) the dry pads are impregnated with liquid under vacuum conditions to evenly distribute liquid throughout the dry pads to form wet pads. The wet pads are then delivered to a packing station (4). The wet pads may be briefly separated at a parting station (5), by air knives for example, prior to delivery to the packing station (4).

Abstract: A trigger spray assembly (1) has generally cubic container (2) with a trigger sprayer (3) mounted thereon. The trigger sprayer (3) is mounted offset form the centre of the container (2) to allow stacking of mutually inverted containers (2). A top (4) of the container (2) in combination with an uppermost surface of the trigger sprayer (3) forms a support surface for reception and support of another container (2) stacked thereon. Container (2) is space efficient, stable, and allows stacking.

Abstract: A disposable dribble bib for babies comprises a shaped panel of non-woven cotton material. The bib has an outer face and an inner face each of which has a hairy surface formed by cotton fibers which when the bib is placed on a garment will attach and hold the bib on the garment. The bib is simple and cheap to manufacture and is double sided, that is it can be used either way round with either the outer face or inner face engaging the garment. A neck-receiving recess is provided at an upper end of the bib.

Abstract: A cotton wool cleansing pad includes a panel of hydroentangled cotton material having a dry weight in the range 170-250 g per square meter impregnated with a cleansing liquid or the like. Preferably a number of the pads are formed in a interlinked strip of pads joined edge to edge by tear-away links and mounted in a dispensing pack.
