Assignee:

Block Drug Company, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

A61L 904

US Classification:

239 35

Abstract:

An air freshener device which indicates when air freshening fragrance formulation contained therein is consumed. The device has a plurality of chambers which contain the same or different fragrance formulations. The inner walls of the chambers are contrastingly colored with respect to the fragrance formulation so that, when the fragrance formulation is consumed, the colored walls are exposed indicating to the user that the formulation within that chamber has been depleted. The multi-chamber feature of the device provides the possibility of multiple fragrance choices and, at the same time, allows for the release of fragrance for an extended period of time.

Block Drug Company, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

C11D 1704
C11D 328

US Classification:

510191

Abstract:

A toilet cleaning block that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent in a controlled, substantially constant rate for about 2 to about 4 months of constant contact with water and is then completely dissolved in the water comprises an admixture of about 50% to about 80% by weight of a halogen containing sanitizing agent, about 20% to about 40% by weight of a bulking agent such as aluminum hydroxide, about 0% to about 20% by weight sodium bicarbonate, and about 1 to about 20% by weight of a sacrificial dissolution rate regulating agent such as sodium chloride.

Inventors:

Hin Cheung Hung - Holmdel NJ

Kenneth James Ward - Basking Ridge NJ

Assignee:

The Block Drug Company - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

C11D 1704

US Classification:

510192

Abstract:

An improved process for the compression and tabletting of solid sustained release toilet bowl cleaners comprises the addition of a small amount of an anionic surfactant which produces a suitably compressed tablet with controlled rates of dissolution for long term cleaning efficacy. The surfactant allows for the formation of more tightly compressed tablets which require less compression energy expenditures reducing the wear and tear on commercial large scale tabletting machines.
