  • Patent number: 11873631
    Abstract: An apparatus (100), including: a sheet (102) composed of a resilient material and configured to be flexed and then installed in a trapway of a toilet where the sheet takes on an installed shape in which a resilience of the resilient material biases the sheet outward against the trapway; at least one snare (104) protruding from a first side (142) of the sheet and thereby radially into the trapway once installed and configured to snare select items being flushed down the trapway; and a retention feature (106) extending from the sheet and configured to catch on a perimeter of an inlet of the trapway and thereby aid in holding the apparatus in place.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230355485
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a formulation in a package. The formulation comprises one or more active agents and is co-mingled with a whipping agent prior to being filled under pressure into the package. The whipping agent is added in sufficient amounts to be dispersed in the formulation. The pressurized package is under sufficient pressure suitable to maintain the whipping agent dispersed in the formulation; and the pressurized package is under sufficient pressure to expel the formulation as a whipped formulation upon application of external force on the formulation in the package.

  • Publication number: 20190367256
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of making a whipped formulation and the formulation. The method comprises: selecting an amount of a gas propellant co-mingled with one or more active agents. The gas propellant is dispersed in the formulation, and the formulation is filled under pressure into a package, which may be pressurized. The package has a selected amount of pressure (“pre-gas or cut-bag pressure”). The pressure maintains the gas propellant dispersed in the formulation and the pressurized package is under sufficient pressure such that the formulation may be expelled as a whipped formulation upon application of external force on said formulation in said package. The whipped formulation is characterized by providing a desired sensory impact to a user.

  • Publication number: 20190142136
    Abstract: In one aspect of the subject invention, a personal care product is provided herein including an applicator having a body, with a dispensing opening, and a support surface, within the body, which is advanceable towards the dispensing opening. A layer of solid personal care is disposed on the support surface which defines an exposed face bounded by spaced-apart first and second edges extending between first and second ends. The exposed face also defines a first inclined face extending from the first end to a first location between the first and second ends, and a second inclined surface, extending from the second end to a second location between the first and second ends. The first and second inclined faces define an included angle which is less than 180 degrees. Advantageously, with the subject invention, differently dimensioned and angularly disposed surfaces may be defined suitable for applying the personal care to different portions of the body.
