Patent number: 11020755Abstract: A foam dispensing container (100) has a container body (40) that reserves a liquid agent (L); a head part (30) that has an outlet (20), and dispenses the liquid agent (L) delivered from the container body (40) through the outlet (20) into foam; and a pump head part (32) that allows dispensing of a predetermined amount of the foamy liquid agent (foam) through the outlet (20) each time it accepts a user's operation. The outlet (20) is formed with a contiguous geometry narrowed from an intended shape. A foam, dispensed through the outlet (20) as a result of a single or multiple operations of the pump head part (32), is built up into the intended shape in a plan view seen in the dispensing direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: KAO CORPORATIONInventors: Tomohisa Hirata, Hidesato Kizaki

Patent number: 8151403Abstract: A cleaning implement 1 including a cleaning article 10 having a pocket 15 and a holder 20 adapted to be inserted into the pocket 15 to hold the cleaning article 10. The pocket 15 of the cleaning article 10 has a counter bumping portion 18 in the middle between the inlet opening at one end and the opposing end thereof. The holder 20 includes a handle 21, an insertion portion 22 extending from one end of the handle 21, and a retaining means 24 for retaining the vicinity of the inlet opening of the cleaning article 10. The insertion portion 22 has a bumping portion 23 that allows the insertion portion 22 to be inserted into the pocket 15 with no substantial obstruction until it reaches a bumping position where it bumps against the counter bumping portion 18 and then restricts further insertion beyond the bumping position.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2006Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Minoru Wada, Hiroyuki Yanagida, Keima Takabayashi, Hidesato Kizaki, Tomohisa Hirata

Patent number: 7472577Abstract: A hair sensor, which can suppress mixing of external noise to a minimal level when a sliding sound of hair is detected, amplified, and output as an audio output in order to estimate surface characteristics and the degree of hair damage, and which can be easily used, is provided. The hair sensor for detecting the sliding sound of the hair in order to estimate hair characteristics includes a sliding element capable of sliding on the hair and a housing which includes a microphone provided therein. The sliding element is erected on a diaphragm. The sliding element and the diaphragm are arranged to allow the sliding sound caused by the sliding element to be transmitted through the diaphragm to the microphone and to attenuate vibration transmitted from outside of the diaphragm to the microphone. The surface of the sliding element is preferably treated to have a roughened surface in order to improve slidability thereof during measurement and measurement accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Satoshi Shibuichi, Shu Ahiko, Shinji Hamamoto, Hisashi Misumi, Hidesato Kizaki
