Definitions

  • Arnau-Munoz et al. disclose a container having compartments which separately receive the mutually incompatible constitu- ents of a detergent composition, such as constituents which release active oxygen or chlorine and constituents which make up the remainder of the detergent composi ⁇ tion.
  • Arnau-Munoz et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,835,804, filed March 25, 1988 and issued June 6, 1989.
  • Each of the compartments has openings which permit diffusion of its contents into a washing machine during the washing process .
  • the composition is a product of two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the pH of the admixture is maintained at a level sufficient for such cleaning efficacy and stability.
  • One liquid includes an oxidiz ⁇ ing agent and the other liquid includes a builder or chelating agent.
  • the oxidizing agent can be maintained in an environment free of the builder or chelating agent and otherwise conducive to its cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional illustration of the apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional illustration of the apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • a liquid cleaning or bleaching composition which includes an oxidizing agent, a builder or chelat- ing agent, and a pH-adiusting agent, can be formulated and delivered in such a way as to improve the cleaning or bleaching efficacy and stability of the oxidizing agent component.
  • the formulated liquid composition is thus particularly effective in the cleaning or bleaching of a surface.
  • the formulated liquid composition is especially effective in the cleaning or bleaching of a surface having mildew or soap-scum deposits thereon, such as kitchen or bathroom tile.
  • cleaning typically refers to the removal of soils without use of an oxidizing agent and the term “bleaching” typically refers to the removal of stains using an oxidizing agent, these terms are used to be generally interchangeable for convenience, unless implicitly, obviously, or specifically rendered other ⁇
  • individual components of the composition which may be subject to deactivation or destabilization prior to or during formulation of the composition, are protected from deactivation and destabilization. More particularly, prior to such formulation, these components are main- tained separately from deactivating and destabilizing environments. Additionally, these components are protected from deactivation and destabilization during the formulation of the composition.
  • the present invention is described in terms of two compartments which separate two liquid components, it will be understood that additional compartments may be used when it is desirable to maintain additional components separately for compati ⁇ bility or other purposes.
  • the apparatus 10 may comprise stand-alone compart ⁇ ments that may be joined together to facilitate the formulation of an admixture of the various components and delivery of the admixture to a surface to be treated.
  • one of the liquids arbitrarily "first” liquid 14 includes an oxidizing agent.
  • either one or both of the first and second liquids 14 and 18 includes a pH-adjusting agent.
  • the pH-adjusting agent is present in an amount sufficient to maintain an admixture of the oxidizing agent and the builder at a pH sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability of the oxidizing agent.
  • the pH- adjusting agent protects against such an undesirable condition.
  • the apparatus 10 of the present invention is of a construction sufficient to deliver the first liquid 14 and the second liquid 18 from compartment 12 and compartment 16, respectively, to form an admixture 32 of the first and second liquids. Thus, the liquids are maintained separately until delivery is desired.
  • the apparatus 10 may include a first delivery channel 20 and a second delivery channel 22 leading from compartment 12 and compartment 16, respectively, to a delivery activator 24.
  • the first and second channels 20 and 22 are completely separate to prevent contamination of the first and second compartments subsequent to use. In this manner, after use, any of the first liquid 14 remaining in the first channel flows back into the first compartment 12, while any of the second liquid 18 remaining in the second channel flows back into the second compartment 16.
  • the delivery activator 24 may be a pump dispenser (as shown), a trigger sprayer, or the like, which are appropriate for delivery of the two liquids to a location at which the two liquids meet to form an admixture 32.
  • a location may be a point 28, external to the apparatus, at which two streams, one for each liquid, intersect to form the admixture 32 during their contemporaneous delivery from the apparatus.
  • the location may be an admixing space 30, such as a chamber, to which the two liquids are delivered and in which the admixture 32 is allowed to form before its delivery to an exterior of the apparatus.
  • the delivery activator 24 is a pump dispenser or a trigger sprayer sufficient for spraying of the two liquids to the intersection point 28 and of the resulting admixture 32 to the surface 34 to be treated ( Figure 1), or of the admixture 32 from admixing space 30 to the surface 34 ( Figure 2).
  • delivery activator 24 is a pump dispenser
  • delivery may be accomplished by depressing the activator in a downward direction which is represented by arrow 26.
  • the apparatus can be single-handedly manipulated, such as by holding the apparatus in one hand while depressing the delivery activator with one or more fingers or a thumb of the same hand.
  • the delivery activator is a trigger sprayer (not shown)
  • delivery may be accomplished by holding a neck of the dispenser apparatus in the cup of one hand while pulling the trigger activator inwardly with respect to the neck with one or more fingers of the same hand, as is well known.
  • the delivery activator includes a closing mechanism (not shown) to prevent undesired, post-use delivery, such as during a child's meddling with the apparatus, or undesirable dripping or shooting of liquid from the apparatus.
  • a closing mechanism (not shown) to prevent undesired, post-use delivery, such as during a child's meddling with the apparatus, or undesirable dripping or shooting of liquid from the apparatus.
  • a child-proof and/or a conventional, drip-preventing closing mechanism may be employed. Many such mechanisms are known and employed commercially.
  • the admixing space 30 is preferably limited in volumetric capacity so that only a small amount of the admixture may be formed upon delivery of the two liquids thereto and thus, possibly remains therein after use.
  • This volumetric capacity may be selected such that only a small or insignificant amount (in terms of possible gas production) of the admixture may remain in the admixing space after use, such that little, if any, gas is produced or accumulated.
  • shooting of liquid may be eliminated or reduced in occurrence or effect (i.e., the shooting force and the distance of travel and amount of the shooting liquid) .
  • liquid in either of the separate delivery channels returns to its original compartment where it does not interact with the other separately compartmentalized liquid. This further eliminates or reduces the potential for gas production from the admixing of the two liquids.
  • delivery activators may be chosen to accommodate various delivery arrangements or applica ⁇ tions, such as delivery to hard-to-reach surfaces.
  • the surface 34 is shown as a vertical surface, such as a wall, it will be understood that the surface may be oriented otherwise, such as at an angle or horizontally, or may be the surface of a mop, sponge, cloth, or the like, which will be used in a cleaning application.

Abstract

Cette invention a trait à un appareil de nettoyage de surfaces contenant un premier liquide, comprenant un agent oxydant, ainsi qu'un second liquide, comprenant un adjuvant ou un agent de chélation, ces liquides restant, à l'origine, séparés. L'appareil est conçu pour faciliter la sortie de ces deux liquides en les combinant de manière à constituer un mélange au moment de les répandre sur la surface à traiter. L'un de ces liquides, sinon les deux, renferme un agent d'ajustement de pH, présent sous une quantité telle qu'au moment de la sortie des liquides, le mélange obtenu conserve un pH suffisant pour garantir tant l'efficacité du nettoyage que la stabilité de l'agent oxydant. Cette invention porte également sur une composition obtenue grâce à un procédé maintenant séparés les deux liquides susmentionnés et ne les laissant se mêler qu'au moment où ils vont se répandre sur la surface à traiter.
