  • Patent number: 11686079
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a container (11) with at least one opening (13) for storing cleaning agents for a toilet rim block cage (30), wherein a polymer film (20) is provided, and at least one opening (13) is punched into the polymer film (20). The at least one opening (13) is closed by a substantially gas-tight and removable closure material (21), and the film (20) together with the closed opening (13) is then three-dimensionally deformed by means of thermoforming. The invention also relates to the container (11).

  • Patent number: 11578291
    Abstract: An improved cleaning composition in block form is described. The composition addresses the consumer issues of having a clear product that remains clear through the life of the product and also has favorable handling properties such as a high melting point and increased hardness. The improvements are the result of three essential ingredients of particular block copolymer nonionic surfactants, alkanecarboxylic salts, and particular solvents at restricted proportions in the overall composition that are molded into a cleaning composition in block form that exhibits a high melting point, hardness and high optical transmittance.
