Abstract: The invention is an extendible liquid-applying spray arm for use with a liquid source, such as an electrical sprayer. It includes one handle and at least two tubular members which are telescopingly engaged with and slideable along one another. Sliding the tubular members extends/retracts the spray arm respectively for treating/storage or to meet particular work needs which require that said extendible spray arm has a short length. When the spray arm is collapsed, the telescopic members are at least partially arranged within the handle, so that the global length of the spray arm is less than the additional lengths of the handle and the telescopic portion. The spray arm further comprises a spray member for spraying the liquid. A flexible tube extends around the tubular members and connects to the nozzle member, which is preferably coiled around the tubular members.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaged product (1) comprising a package having a liquid reservoir (2) for containing a product, preferably a cleaning product, and a means for delivering the product (4) in a labour efficient way and in a uniform manner. This is achieved by a packaged product (1) in which the means (4) for delivering the product preferably comprises an electrically driven pump (5), and further comprises a spray arm (220), the spray arm (220) having at least one dispensing opening (225), the spray arm (220) being preferably either extended or extendible.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process of cleaning carpets and other large fabric coverings with a product dispensed from a device. The device comprises a reservoir for the product, means for dispensing the product, a spray arm and at least one dispensing opening. The reservoir is a removable non-refillable cartridge. Preferably, the reservoir comprises at least one compartment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process of treating carpets and other large fabric coverings with a product dispensed from an appliance. This appliance comprises a reservoir for the product and means for dispensing this product which comprises a detachable and extendible spray arm. Preferably, this appliance is a portable electrical sprayer, and the spray arm comprises a handle, a telescopingly extendible wand connected to this handle, and a dispensing tube that is attached outside the extendible wand, and at least one portion of the detachable and telescopingly extendible wand is arranged inside the handle, when the spray arm is in the collapsed position.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for the delivery of products, preferably cleaning products comprising an active ingredient, more preferably cleaning products comprising a surfactant, the device comprising at least one liquid reservoir for containing at least one product and a dispensing appliance for delivering the product, characterized in that the dispensing appliance comprises at least one piercing means or at least one pierceable means, and the reservoir respectively comprises at least one corresponding pierceable means or at least one piercing means, such that said at least one pierceable means recloses when said reservoir is removed from said dispensing appliance. Preferably, said piercing means is achieved by at least one needle.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for the delivery of products, preferably cleaning products comprising an active ingredient, more preferably cleaning products comprising a surfactant. The device comprises at least one vented reservoir for containing at least one liquid product and a dispensing appliance for dispensing the product from the reservoir. In one embodiment, the reservoir comprises at least one recess and/or protrusion and the dispensing appliance comprises at least one corresponding protrusion and/or recess. The reservoir is releasably secured in a leak-tight manner with the dispensing means such that fluid communication between the reservoir and the dispensing appliance is established, only when the protrusion(s) and the recess(es) are fitted into each other, and the protrusion(s) and the recess(es) of the reservoir have a shape which is complementary, preferably exactly complementary, to the protrusion(s) and/or recess(es) of the dispensing appliance.
