Patent number: 6143257Abstract: A dispenser 100 for dispensing a chemical product that is dissolved by diluent. The dispenser includes a package 170 having a diaphragm, or fingered collar 180 attached to its opening. The diaphragm 180 has a plurality of flexible members or flexible fingers 185. The dispenser may utilize an injection manifold 109 that is sized and configured to be positioned on a washing machine top proximate the gap between the washing machine's top and lid. Still further, the invention includes a low level chemical product indicator. The indicator includes a focused light source 98a and 98a. The focused light source is a high intensity light emitting diode having a viewing angle of less than 6.degree. and an intensity of above 10,000 mcd. The dispenser also includes an apparatus and method in which a dispensing time of a dispenser is dynamically varied in response to diluent temperature during operation of the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1999Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: John Ross Spriggs, Loleta T. Tolliver-Rogers, Daniel K. Boche, Ronald Bruce Howes, Douglas Sherwin Hoerning

Patent number: 6119883Abstract: A tamper-indicating closure of integrally molded plastic construction that include a base wall having a peripheral skirt with internal threads for engaging external threads on a container finish. A tamper-indicating band is connected to the edge of the skirt by a plurality of circumferentially spaced integral frangible bridges. A stop flange extends from an edge of the band remote from the skirt for engagement with a bead on the container finish. The stop flange has a circumferentially continuous free edge remote from the band disposed in a plane parallel to the base wall. A plurality of circumferentially spaced openings are disposed in the stop flange adjacent to the band for drainage of liquid from between the closure skirt and the container finish. A plurality of circumferentially spaced gussets in the stop flange are at the free edge of the ring, with each gusset being disposed between an adjacent pair of drainage openings.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1998Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Owens-Illinois Closure Inc.Inventors: Mark R. Hock, Charles A. Webster, Shawn E. Kellogg, Paul R. Graham, Loleta T. Tolliver-Rogers
