The package includes a housing portion having a transparent window region. A plurality of disposable absorbent pants is disposed within the housing portion. Each pant defines a waistband region which abuts a waist end. Each waistband region comprises a front waistband portion and a back waistband portion. Each pant further defines a crotch region which abuts a crotch end. At least a first pant is folded and positioned such that at least a portion of the waistband region of the first pant is visible through the transparent window region. Specified portions of the first pant may be obscured by an opaque border region. The first pant may include a back-label indicator that is visible through the transparent window region. A second pant may also be visible through the transparent window region.

Package of folded disposable absorbent pants

A sheet dispenser is defined by at least six panels having outwardly facing surfaces, wherein at least one of the panels is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the other panels. Sheets may be dispensed from an opening located on the oblique surface. The sheet dispenser may sit on a surface such as a countertop for dispensing, or may be placed between a wall and other structure attached to the wall such as a towel bar. Furthermore, the sheet dispenser may be hung from a structure using a strap attached to the towel dispenser.

Slanted sheet dispenser

A disposable air filter that includes: (a) air filtration media; (b) a substantially planar air filter frame providing three-dimensional support for the air filtration media; and (c) an inter-filter gap filler disposed along substantially the entire length of at least one side of an opposed pair of the first or second sides and integrated into the air filter frame is disclosed. The integral inter-filter gap filler reduces gaps between adjacent air filters disposed in a filter track of an air filter bank.

Air filter with integral inter-filter gap filler

A package includes an outer structure and a variable display. The variable display includes a display band and a main band. The display band is rotatably connected with the main band and has a first display face and a second display face. The display band is joined to the outer structure via an anchor. The main band extends around the outer structure and is moveable from a first vertical position to a second vertical position. The first display face is visible and the second display face is concealed in the first position. The first display face is concealed and the second display face is visible in the second position. The vertical movement of the main band along the outer structure rotates the display band.

Variable display

A disposable air filter sub-assembly that includes: (a) air filtration media; (b) a substantially planar air filter frame providing three-dimensional support for the air filtration media; and (c) an air filter frame-connecting means integrated into the air filter frame. The integrated air filter frame-connecting means are adapted to connect a plurality of identical air filter sub-assemblies into an air filter assembly with sufficient structural strength in at least one direction such that the air filter sub-assemblies resists separation when the air filter assembly is extracted from the filter track of a filter bank.

Dispenser with textured surface pattern

A reversible mop head assembly for use with a mop handle is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a transverse support shaft, a pair of end caps positioned at opposite ends of the transverse support shaft, a pair of opposed substrate support surfaces positioned between and supported by the end caps, and a head mount coupled to the transverse support shaft centrally between the end caps.

Mop assembly with reversible head

A mop head assembly for use with a handle and a cleaning substrate is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a lower substrate support surface, at least one fastener channel associated with the lower substrate support surface, and a fastener strip that can be inserted into the fastener channel. Such a fastener strip is configured to couple the lower substrate support surface to a cleaning substrate. The mop head assembly may include a cross-member configured such that forces applied from the handle through a central portion of mop head are distributed toward the end edges of the lower substrate support surface.

Mop assembly with fastener channels

A wet mop head assembly for use with a mop handle is disclosed. The mop head includes a laminate mop substrate having a first layer of scrubbing material, a second layer of scrubbing material and an absorbent foam layer sandwiched between the scrubbing material layers. At least one bond is present to join the scrubbing and absorbent foam layers together.

Wet mop with multi-layer substrate

A package for consumable products is disclosed. In one embodiment, the package includes a connecting member that connects a group of products together. The connecting member may comprise one or more bands that partially encircle the products or connect the products along a top surface. In addition, the package configuration may include a locking element that is configured to attach adjacent packages together or to attach the package to an adjacent structure, such as the railing of a shopping cart.

Packaging configurations for consumable products

An adjustable-size mop head assembly that may be used with a handle and a disposable cleaning substrate is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a central frame section with a central portion and a lower substrate support surface configured to hold a disposable cleaning substrate. The mop head assembly also includes at least one adjunct frame section configured to be operably coupled to the central frame section and configured to move between a stored configuration, where the adjunct frame section is stored by the central frame section, and an extended configuration where the adjunct frame section extends from the central frame section to add width to the central frame section and the lower substrate support surfaces. A continuous web of disposable cleaning substrate that may be used with the adjustable-size mop head assembly is also disclosed. The continuous web of disposable cleaning substrate includes lines of weakness at regular intervals configured such that various widths of cleaning substrate are removable via the lines of weakness.

Adjustable-size mop head and selectable-size cleaning substrate

A quick-release handle for use with the working head of a cleaning tool is disclosed. The handle includes a quick-release coupling assembly positioned on one end of the handle and a button actuator positioned on the opposite end of the handle. The coupling assembly is configured to releaseably couple with a working head. The button actuator is operably connected to the coupling assembly such that coupling assembly may be disengaged from a working head through manipulation of the button actuator.

Quick-release handle and interchangeable cleaning system

Absorbent articles incorporating a wetness sensor for indicating the presence of a body fluid are disclosed. In particular, the absorbent articles include at least two conductive elements that form an open circuit within the article. Each conductive element is connected to a conductive pad member that has sufficient surface area in order to facilitate connection to a signaling device. In accordance with the present disclosure, various attachment mechanisms are disclosed for attaching the pad members to a signaling device. In particular, although the absorbent articles are disposable, the signaling device is intended to be used with multiple absorbent articles. Therefore, a simple and efficient method of connecting the signaling device to the pad members provides various advantages. In one particular embodiment, for instance, the pad members comprise a conductive loop-type material that is attached to a corresponding conductive hook-type material on the signaling device.
