Publication number: 20100162474Abstract: The present invention relates to self adhesive hard surface cleaning blocks, and their use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent block that can be easily positioned onto a hard surface; even a wet surface. It is a further object of the invention to provide a detergent block that rinses away in a number of flushes, and does not leave behind any residue that cannot be easily removed with e.g. a toilet brush.

Publication number: 20030199405Abstract: A multi-phase solid toilet article whose phases are separated by a membrane, and processes for making the article are described. Each phase is reproducibly fabricated to form an article allowing the user to sequentially or simultaneously derive benefits from the different materials contained in the article's layers. The membrane is either at least partially water soluble or dispersible in the case of a product used with water, or shearable in the case of a cosmetic product which is applied directly to or rubbed on the skin. The membrane material is selected to dissolve or disintegrate with product use, so as to accomplish its intended function of separating the different cosmetic materials until they are consumed. The flowable toilet or cosmetic formulations are simultaneously or separately transferred into the mold, simultaneously or separately allowed to harden, where the membrane divider is not removed and becomes a part of the finished product.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2003Publication date: October 23, 2003Applicant: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, Division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Syed Husain Abbas, Ray Hui, Laurie Ann Coyle

Patent number: 6383999Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiphase cleansing bar having a plurality of phases of cleansing material. Adjacent phases preferably have different concentration levels of benefit components respectively and all the phases individually preferably have a substantially similar cleansing base consisting of a syndet base, a soap base, or mixtures thereof. These benefit components are emollients, moisturizers, nutrients, anti-aging materials etc. Segregation of the benefit rich component is expected to result in improved deposition of the benefit components on the skin during the product application, which improves the moisture barrier properties of the skin. Chemical and Theological compatibility between the phases is maximized and recycling of the product during production is facilitated with the use of a uniform cleansing base. Methods of producing the inventive bar by extruding and melt casting are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA. division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Laurie Ann Coyle, Albert Joseph Post, Syed Husain Abbas, Gail Beth Rattinger, Michael Massaro, Harry Crookham

Patent number: 6376441Abstract: A multi-phase melt cast toilet bar which has at least one interface along a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the x and y-axis of said bar, and a process of making the bar is described. Each phase, containing a cleansing agent, is reproducibly positioned in the bar to be used simultaneously thereby allowing the user to simultaneously derive benefits from the use of the cleansing agents contained in the bar's layers. The process for making the bar is a continuous one, whereby the molten cleansing agents are simultaneously or separately poured into the mold, simultaneously or separately allowed to harden, and where the mold divider is not removed or removed either after hardening of the adjacent molten cleansing agent but before the pouring of the next molten cleansing agent, or removed while at least one phase remains flowable. The hardened multi-phase toilet bar is finally ejected from the mold.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Unilever Home and Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Michael Edward Ross, Thomas Daniel Arkins, Robert Alfread Bennett, Syed Husain Abbas
