Abstract: An actuator includes a conduit and first and second tabs protruding from the conduit. Each tab includes a first angled face and a first flat face disposed adjacent a first end of the tab and a second angled face and a second flat face disposed adjacent a second end of the tab.

Abstract: A mitt worn on a hand for cleaning. The mitt includes a section for the palm of the hand, a section for the fingers, and a compartment on either side of a central axis of the mitt for a thumb. The mitt is capable of being used on either the right or the left hand, and both sides of the mitt may be used without moving the mitt from one hand to the other. The mitt is formed using an electrostatically-charged material, a material capable of acquiring a triboelectric charge, or a material that is treated with a tackifying agent in order to optimize cleaning efficiency. Also disclosed is a method of forming a mitt for cleaning.

Abstract: A refill cartridge for an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol dispenser has an outer housing adapted to preferentially fit a user's hand with the front of the dispenser presented away from the user. An actuator arm is hinged to the outer housing. A refill cartridge may be removably inserted into the outer housing from beneath. The cartridge includes an aerosol can having a manually activatable valve and an upwardly directed nozzle, which extends through a nozzle port in the actuator arm when the cartridge is inserted within the outer housing.

Abstract: An aerosol dispenser and a refill cartridge therefor. The aerosol dispenser has an outer housing adapted to preferentially fit a user's hand with the front of the dispenser presented away from the user. An actuator arm is hinged to the outer housing. A refill cartridge may be removably inserted into the outer housing from beneath. The cartridge includes an aerosol can having a manually activatable valve and an upwardly directed nozzle, which extends through a nozzle port in the actuator arm when the cartridge is inserted within the outer housing. A user can activate the valve by hand by pushing the actuator arm downwardly with a finger. The outer housing is designed to be held on a level surface during such activation. The nozzle includes a longitudinally extended delivery tube in fluid communication with the pressurized material in the can. The delivery tube communicates with a longitudinally extended exit chamber having a spray orifice.
