Patent number: 8820664Abstract: A multiple nozzle differential fluid delivery head is disclosed. The fluid delivery head includes a body that defines a fluid chamber having a longitudinal axis. The body includes an inlet for connection to a fluid source, and the inlet is in fluid communication with the fluid chamber. The fluid delivery head includes a plurality of outlet ports connected to and extending away from the body. Each outlet port has an interior space in fluid communication with the fluid chamber. The fluid delivery head includes a nozzle insert removably secured in an outer end of each outlet port. At least one nozzle insert has a fluid delivery aperture in fluid communication with the interior space of its associated outlet port for delivering fluid out of the interior space of its associated outlet port. One or more of the outlet ports is angled away from a plane normal to the axis of the fluid delivery head.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Michael M. Sawalski, Michael J. Skalitzky, Nitin Sharma, Padma Prabodh Varanasi, Yong Chen, Allen D. Miller

Patent number: 8240933Abstract: A bottle includes a product stored therein. It is configured to be removably engaged with a docking station in an inverted arrangement to be activated by the docking station and heat the product. The bottle may include a pump structure (e.g. in the form of a bellows), or be a squeezable bottle, or be a bowable bottle, or have other pumping features. Structures are provided to prevent drool after use, to help apply the heated product to the skin, and to insure proper heating and dispensing. There are combined docking stations and bottles where the bottle is positioned in an inverted manner, and methods for using these devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: S.C.

Patent number: 7028866Abstract: A pressure resistant plastic bottle for containing and dispensing an aerosol composition. The plastic bottle is comprised of a hollow elongate body having a central portion, a top portion and an opposite bottom portion with the central portion having an inwardly concave configuration extending along its longitudinal direction. The bottom portion of the elongate body is integral with the central portion and defines an outwardly projecting convexly shaped configuration. The top portion of the bottle is integral with the central portion and has an outwardly convex configuration extending along its longitudinal direction and defines a neck having an opening for receiving and dispensing the aerosol composition. A closure covers the opening and is sealingly attached to the neck to contain the aerosol within the plastic bottle.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Edward J. Kunesh, Allen D. Miller, David P. Mather, Michael J. Skalitzky, James C. Boda, Douglas J. Birkholz

Publication number: 20040149781Abstract: A pressure resistant plastic bottle for containing and dispensing an aerosol composition. The plastic bottle is comprised of a hollow elongate body having a longitudinal axis and an outer wall. The outer wall defines a central portion, a top portion and an opposite bottom portion with the central portion having a circular cross-sectional configuration taken through a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and having an inwardly concave configuration extending along its longitudinal direction. The bottom portion of the elongate body is integral with the central portion and defines an outwardly projecting convexly shaped configuration. The top portion of the bottle is integral with the central portion and has an outwardly convex configuration extending along its longitudinal direction and defines a neck having an opening for receiving and dispensing the aerosol composition.

Patent number: 6722578Abstract: A dispenser with a lid laminate providing controlled release of a volatile material contained in a tray is disclosed. The lid includes a vapor impermeable, removable outer laminate and a vapor permeable inner layer covering an open side of the tray. The outer laminate includes layers of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and aluminum foil removably adhered to the inner layer of biaxially-oriented polypropylene (OPP) by an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer. Bottom and side walls of the tray are constructed of a metal/polymer pressure-formed colored tray laminate impermeable to the vapors and volatile material. The tray has a peripheral lip with an outer surface of cast polypropylene to which the vapor permeable inner layer of the lid is heat sealed.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2002Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: S.C.

Patent number: 6360477Abstract: Disclosed herein is an article (such as an insect control pouch) to dispense a volatile active (such as an insect control agent). The pouch is formed from a single layer polymeric non-absorbing film. The pouch traps the active until use of the pouch is desired. When the pouch is opened the walls of the pouch serve as a substrate from which the active can readily passively evaporate. Methods of forming such pouches using heat sealing techniques, and methods of using such pouches, are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: S. C. Johnson & Son, IncInventors: Stanley J. Flashinski, Bruno W. Fricke, Edgar Pohlmann, Murthy S. Munagavalasa, Michael J. Skalitzky
