A container containing a predetermined quantity of incompatible detergent compositions is introduced into the drum of a machine for washing laundry. The container comprises compartments which separately receive the constituents of the detergent compositions which are mutually incompatible, for example, the constituents which release active oxygen or chlorine and the remainder of the detergent compositions are separated. Each of the compartments has openings for permitting its contents to diffuse into the washing machine during the washing process.
Device for washing of fabric by machine having at least one filling orifice and ports for progressively releasing a liquid detergent into the fabric during washing. At least one solid product including additive ingredients useful for washing is located outside the main body of the device. These additive ingredients are likewise released progressively during washing. The solid product preferably comprises sodium perborate.
5129120 - Process for washing fabrics in a machine - Owned by The Procter & Gamble Company (Cincinnati, OH) [*] Notice:The portion of the term of this patent subsequent to June 6, 2006 has been disclaimed.
A device comprising unoccluded vents and containing a detergent is employed. This device is placed with fabrics to be washed in the drum of a washing machine and the machine is started up, allowing the washing cycle to proceed. A detergent composition some of whose constituents are separate is employed and at least one of the constituents is introduced into the device and at least one other of the constituents is associated separately with the said device, so that during the washing all the constituents diffuse into the fabrics and the washing bath.
A washing machine cleaning agent is enclosed within a porous shell which in turn is enclosed between two semi-spherical halves of a housing that are welded together, whereby the porous shell containing the agent is permitted to roll around within the housing and dissolve in the wash water.
Measuring dispenser that includes a container of an essentially flattened elliptical cylindrical shape provided with a port through which the washing powder is admitted, a series of narrow slits through which the dissolved powder is dispensed, and a recess which houses the handle of a measuring spoon. The measuring spoon is connectable to the container by inserting its handle into the recess and the cup part into its loading port.
A process for the machine-washing of fabrics according to which a dispensing and diffusing device of the reusable type is filled with a particulate product which is active during the washing. This device is placed in the machine together with the fabrics to be washed, and washing is subsequently carried out in the customary way. The device used comprises a flexible bag mounted on a ring made of plastic with helical radial walls providing apertures through the mouth delimited by the ring. A assembly in the form of a cage can be arranged inside the sleeve of the bag in order to maintain the form of the latter during the washing. The product dissolves progressively and little escapes from the device in solid form.
