Patent number: 10435649Abstract: The cleaning performance of washing and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to bleachable stains, was to be intensified without resulting in damage, in the context of use, to the textile treated therewith. This was achieved substantially by employing a bleaching-active species generated electrolytically from an organic mediator compound using a redox reaction.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Henkel AG & Co. KGaAInventors: Mareile Job, Peter Schmiedel, Erik Brueckner, Guido Grundmeier, Markus Voigt

Patent number: 8348098Abstract: A dispensing device dispenses at least two different preparations substantially simultaneously. The device has a delivery element to deliver a first preparation from a package to its surrounding environment when an actuating element, in at least one embodiment a trigger connected to a pump, is actuated. The dispensing device has a connection line between the delivery element and at least one portion cartridge for a second preparation. The portion cartridge is detachably coupled to the dispensing device such that as the actuating element is actuated, the first and second preparations can be simultaneously dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Publication number: 20090277928Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device (20) for the substantially simultaneous delivery of at least two preparations (4, 13), different from each other, from a package (3). Said device has at least one delivery element (6) for delivering a first preparation from the package to the surroundings, and an actuating element (5) which is coupled to the delivery element in such a manner that, when the actuating element is actuated, at least the first preparation is delivered from the package. The dispensing device has a connection (8) which communicates with the delivery element, to which at least one portion cartridge (12) which contains a second preparation, different from the first preparation present in the package, is detachably coupled in such a manner that actuation of the actuating element effects delivery of the first preparation and the second preparation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2007Publication date: November 12, 2009Inventor: Erik Brückner
