Abstract: The patent application concerns a drum pallet (10) suitable for positioning one drum or a plurality of drums thereon, wherein the pallet has a deck (11), skids (2) and a plurality of blocks (12), coupling the deck with the skids, thereby forming a gap (5) therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The deck and the plurality of blocks form one monolithic body (1). The skids are connected below the blocks to the blocks. The body consists of a compression molded thermoset composite. The upper surface (13) of the deck comprises vertical protrusions (14A, 14B) adapted to avoid shifting of the drum along the surface, if the drum is positioned on the deck and aligned with the protrusions.

Abstract: A fragrance release system having a substantially rotationally symmetric container having a chamber accommodating a multitude of particles for deodorizing or fragrancing an open or closed space, the particles comprising a carrier material and at least one fragrance, and the container having a plurality of orifices through which emission of the fragrances of the particles from the accommodation chamber outward is possible, wherein the accommodation chamber (3) of the substantially rotationally symmetric container (2) has a crescent-like cross-sectional shape with a convex front wall (5) and a concave back wall (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a package formed from at least two films, containing product portions, in particular washing, cleaning and/or care products, which are released when the package is opened, by dissolution or disintegration of at least one film. The package comprises at least one compartment for receiving the product. At least one film of the package is substantially plastically reshaped in order to provide a compartment to receive the product. The disintegration and/or dissolving times of the package measured in distilled water at a temperature of 10° C. are less than similar times for a conventional film package made, for example of a Mono-Sol-M-8630 or an equivalent film measured under the same conditions. The improved disintegration and/or dissolving time may be enhanced by providing a striated surface structure and/or small holes whose diameter ranges from 1 ?m to 50 ?m.

Abstract: A portioned package of an active ingredient, including a sealed water-soluble envelope containing at least one core and a matrix of a free-flowing material at least partially surrounding the core, the core and matrix together including one or more active ingredients, wherein the core is fixed to the water-soluble envelope.
