The disclosure describes a thermoforming machine, which can include a horizontal intermittent motion thermoforming machine, and a mold, wherein the mold contains a plurality of pocket forming cavities in a 2-dimensional array. These cavities can each be defined by side walls and a base, and each cavity can be surrounded by a planar surface of the mold on all sides. Further, the cavities can be positioned in the array so as to provide a plurality of continuous strips of uninterrupted planar surface of the mold from a leading to a trailing edge of the mold. These cavities can have rounded bottom corners, formed where the side walls meet the base, and rounded edges, formed where side walls meet an upper surface of the mold. The thermoforming machine can be further configured to be able to draw a web of water-soluble film down into the cavities.

Horizontal intermittent motion thermoforming machine

The present invention is directed to a combination of a deformable package () containing a cream product; and a tool () for dispensing the cream product from the deformable package () comprising a first member () which supports the deformable package (), and a second member () connected to the first member () by a hinge (), wherein the tool () is arranged so that, in use, when a user pushes the first and second members (), () towards one another, the deformable package () is squeezed between the first and second members (), () to dispense the cream product from the package ().

Cream dispenser

A pump comprising a container containing a dispense material, an outlet and an actuator arranged to alternate between a first and a second configuration in response to a change in the pump's environment, which change in configuration causes an aliquot of dispense material to be expelled through the outlet.

Pump

A cleaning device () incorporates drive means () and cleaning means (), wherein the drive means () are operable to drive the cleaning means () across a surface to be cleaned, and wherein the drive means () are operable to adopt first and second driving modes, the first driving mode being a travelling mode and the second driving mode being a turning mode, wherein locking means () of the drive means () allow selection between the first and second driving modes.

Cleaning device having drive means with multiple driving modes

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing water-soluble containers using a horizontal intermittent motion thermoforming machine comprising locating a first water-soluble film over a mould containing a plurality of pocket forming cavities in a 2-dimensional array, each cavity being surrounded by a planar surface of the mould on all sides in which the shortest dimension of the planar surface between two adjacent cavities is at least 3 mm and between an edge of the mould and the closest cavity is at least 1.5 mm, thermoforming a first film to produce a plurality of pockets, at least partially filling the pockets with a composition and sealing the plurality of the at least partially filled pockets. The cavities are positioned in the array such that there are a plurality of continuous strips of uninterrupted planar surface of the mould from a leading to a trailing edge of the mould, for receiving support means fitted to the machine for supporting the film.

An aerosol delivery system comprises a container defining a chamber for a product to be delivered, an outlet from the chamber through which product may in operation be delivered, a valve for controlling passage of product through the outlet and a pump for pressurising product to be delivered, wherein the pump comprises an expandable material which, in operation, may be expanded to provide the pressure for pressurising product to be delivered, the expandable material being an osmotically effective agent and/or a swellable hydrogel and being disposed on one side of a semi-permeable membrane through which, in operation, fluid may be absorbed by the expandable material to expand it and thereby generate an osmotic pressure.

Aerosol delivery system

A water-soluble container containing a composition, the container comprising a member having at least two openings positioned on different sides of the member, each opening being closed by a film.

Water-soluble container having at least two openings

Lavatory device

A dispenser for releasing a treatment substance into a toilet bowl, said dispenser being in the form of an elongate tubular member, adapted to release the substance when the toilet is flushed, and resilient so that in use it is self-supporting under the rim of the bowl. The substance to be released is at least one of a bleach, cleanser, surfactant, perfume or disinfectant.
