Table top sanitizer dispenser bottle bases are disclosed herein. An exemplary table top sanitizer dispenser bottle base includes a movable upper housing, the upper moveable housing has a floor with an aperture located therein and a peripheral wall. The top sanitizer dispenser bottle includes a lower stationary housing. The upper movable housing is connected to the lower stationary housing and is configured to move linearly upward and downward with respect to lower stationary. One or more biasing members bias the upper movable housing upward. A switch is included and the upper movable housing has an engagement member or surface for actuating the switch upon downward movement of the upper movable housing. At least one of a visual indicator and an audible indicator are also included. Control circuitry is provided for activating the one or more of a visual indicator and audible indicator when the engagement member actuates the switch.

Exemplary embodiments of cleaning buckets are shown and described herein. An exemplary cleaning bucket includes a housing that has a cleaning solution reservoir, a dirty water reservoir and an insert for inserting into the housing. The housing has a first surface. The first surface covers the cleaning solution reservoir. The first surface is configured to allow water to flow into the dirty water reservoir through one or more openings allowing fluid to flow into the dirty water reservoir. The insert further includes a cleaning solution dispensing member located on the first surface, a pump for drawing cleaning solution out of the cleaning solution reservoir; and an activation device for causing the pump to pump fluid from the cleaning solution reservoir to the cleaning solution dispensing member.

Cleaning apparatuses and devices for applying cleaning fluid to substrates

Exemplary dispensers that receive power from a wireless focused power signal and methods of charging such dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser for dispensing soap or sanitizer includes a housing, a receptacle for retaining a supply of soap or sanitizer, a processor, and a focused energy signal receiver. The focused energy signal receiver includes a reflector for reflecting at least a portion of the focused energy signal back to a transmission source and a converter for converting at least a portion of the focused energy signal into an output voltage. The dispenser further includes charge control circuitry and one or more capacitors. The charge control circuitry monitors the output voltage of the converter. If the output voltage of the converter is above a threshold, the one or more capacitors receive a charging current.

A carpet cleaning machine for uniformly spreading a dry carpet cleaning powder onto a surface and working the dry carpet cleaning powder into the surface. The cleaning machine includes base having a hopper integrally formed therein, distribution slots on the bottom of the hopper, a rotary powder agitator inside the hopper, wheels for supporting the base over a floor surface and for rotating the powder agitator, a metering gate for controlling the dispensing of the dry carpet cleaning powder, a trigger located on the cleaner handle for controlling the metering gate, and a plurality of motor driven vertical axis rotary brushes for working the dry carpet cleaning powder into the carpet. The dry carpet cleaning powder is dispensed onto the carpet and allowed to sit for a short period of time to allow the dry carpet cleaning powder to absorb the dirt contained in the carpet. After the dry carpet cleaning powder has dried and absorbed dirt, the dry carpet cleaning powder and dirt are vacuumed from the carpet with an ordinary vacuum.

An aqueous-based, shear-thinning, erasable ink and a roller-ball pen containing same. In a preferred embodiment, the ink comprises a blend of three different non-carboxylated, styrene-butadiene aqueous emulsions, a water-insoluble or water-dispersible pigment and a shear-thinning, viscosity-adjustment agent in the form of a silicate clay. The ink further comprises an antioxidant preparation, which includes tocopherol and vitamin C, for use in extending the time period over which the ink remains erasable after being applied to a substrate, a shear-stabilizing agent in the form of potassium oleate for use in preventing unwanted coagulation of the styrene-butadiene copolymer due to shear, a pH-adjusting agent in the form of triethanolamine for shifting the pH of the ink to a pH of about 9-10, and an anti-drying agent in the form of a 3:1 mixture of sorbitol to glycerine. The pen comprises a barrel for storing a quantity of the ink, the barrel being made of polypropylene and having an open top end; a hollow tip made of a stainless steel, a nickel-silver alloy or a polyoxymethylene and having a top end and a bottom end, the top end being shaped to define a ball socket; a ball rotatably received in the ball socket and made of a sintered ceramic material; and an elongated hollow connector made of a polyoxymethylene and having an open top end adapted to receive the bottom end of the hollow tip and an open bottom end adapted to be received in the open top end of the barrel. The ball has a diameter of about 1.0 mm or greater. The socket has a maximum internal width that exceeds the diameter of the ball by approximately 0.015-0.025 mm and is shaped to enable the ball to move axially therewithin a distance of approximately 0.03-0.07 mm.
