A stable aqueous built liquid detergent composition is prepared comprising a potassium alkylbenzenesulphonate, a potassium fatty acid soap, a nonionic detergent material, a neutralized maleic anhydride copolymer, partially esterified with a nonionic detergent active, and sodium-tripolyphosphate.

A liquid applicator that includes an applicator member for receiving a liquid to be applied, an elongated delivery member therefor, a cover including a removable scraping member and an entry part for engaging a container having the liquid to be applied.

A process for filtering a liquid through a combination of a first sieve, a sand pack and a second sieve in the direction of flow of the liquid, is described. This process differs from the known process in that the liquid passes through a filter pack in which the mesh width of the first sieve is at most equal to the mesh width of the second sieve, and the mesh width of the second sieve is smaller than the smallest particle size of the sand in the sand pack. Furthermore, the mesh width of the seco...

A dispenser for lubricating oil or other liquids consisting of a flexible container having a sealing cap, the cap forming an elongated dispensing spout, a flexible tube connected to the spout passage of the cap and depending freely into the container, a weight affixed to the free end of the tube, a stiffening band partially encircling the container, being formed integrally therewith and integral handles projecting radially from the container at the spaced ends of the band.

A liquid sensor for sensing a level of liquid contained in a tank as well as the presence or absence of water remaining at the bottom of the tank is disclosed. The liquid sensor comprises a housing mounted at the bottom of the tank, a liquid level detecting element mounted on the housing, a pair of electrodes arranged at the bottom of the tank to detect water remaining at the bottom of the tank and an indicator operated in response to signals developed by the liquid level detecting element and t...

A liquid applicator that includes a liquid absorbent padded tip joined to a telescopically collapsible handle, such that the applicator may be easily stored. The handle elements are provided with stop members which prevent them from being disengaged from one another and detent which releasingly lockingly engages the telescopic elements in an extended position.

A liquid detergent, suitable for hand dishwashing and of excellent washing properties which produces a medium foam that is long lasting in the presence of greasy soil and which comprises a ternary mixture of an anionic detergent which is a paraffin sulfonate or linear alkyl benzene sulfonate or a mixture thereof; a nonionic detergent which is either a condensate of higher fatty alcohol with a heteric mixture of ethylene and propylene oxides or a lower alkyl ether of an alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy l...

A liquid applicator which comprises a liquid storage container fitted with a shaped applicator means that is made of a non-flexible, non-deformable, sintered, porous synthetic plastic resin having a controlled porosity and having omni-directional interconnecting pores.

A liquid detergent of the light-duty type, suitable for dishwashing use, is disclosed which contains a C.sub.14 and/or C.sub.15 paraffin monosulfonate, most preferably with a supplementary anionic detergent, such as a sulfated ethoxylate of a higher fatty alcohol, and higher fatty acid lower monoalkanolamide, in an aqueous medium. Such liquid detergents, which also contain small proportions of disulfonates corresponding to the monosulfonates, exhibit improved dishwashing and foaming properties, ...

A liquid developer comprising a dispersion of a dye or pigment having a long chain alkyl group in their molecular structure in a liquid hydrocarbon. The liquid developer for electrophotography is excellent in dispersibility of the image-forming dye or pigment particles, uniformity in charge polarity, storage stability, distinct-image forming ability and image-fixing property, and such liquid developer can be prepared without aid of conventional modifiers such as control agents dispersing agents,...
