A hand holdable spray delivery system for dispensing a relatively viscous and/or solids laden liquid is provided. This spray delivery system includes a container adapted to house the liquid. A manually actuated pump device is mounted on the container. The pump device including an inlet passage, a pump chamber, and a discharge passage having a distal end connected in liquid communication so that the liquid is pumped from within the container, through the inlet passage, into the pump chamber and through the discharge passage upon manual actuation of the pump device. A slotted spray nozzle including a housing having an inlet side and an exit side is also included. The housing having an internal recess through the inlet side that terminates in an elongated orifice at the exit side. The internal recess being attached in liquid communication to the distal end of the discharge passage such that the liquid passing through the discharge passage flows through the slotted spray nozzle and converges toward the elongated orifice. The liquid is dispensed therefrom in a dispersed spray.

Apparatus and procedures for forming and filling tampon sacks with absorptive aggregate in a continuous, high speed operation, the aggregate being delivered in uniform condition to a loading gun comprising a rotary loading wheel having pockets into which measured charges of aggregate are drawn by vacuum; the loading gun delivers the charges of aggregate to a discharge nozzle which propels the discrete charges through a hollow mandrel about which a web of sack forming material is tubed, the tubing upon passing beyond the mandrel being pinched between a lugged belt and a rotary transfer wheel at spaced apart intervals corresponding to the length of the tampon sacks being formed, as defined by preprinted transverse adhesive stripes on the tubed web, the discrete charges of aggregate being captured between adjacent pairs of lugs on the belt; the filled tubing is maintained in contact with the transfer wheel by vacuum until released for delivery to a succeeding operating station, a transfer tube being provided to deliver the filled tubing to the succeeding operating station in proper orientation for closing and sealing the ends of the sacks being formed, the transfer wheel including adjustment means to maintain accurate registry of the filled tubing during transfer.

An apparatus for making a longitudinally partitioned tubular body and sealingly securing a longitudinally divided head fitment to one end of the body to form a collapsible, longitudinally partitioned tubular dispensing container assembly. A single sheet of body forming material is configured, looped, spindled, and seamed to integrally form a tubular exterior wall and a chordal partition which are sealingly secured together along two longitudinally extending lap seams in the tubular wall. An end of the tubular wall is sealingly secured to the radially outwardly facing cylindrical surface of a longitudinally extending cylindrical skirt portion of the head fitment, and the adjacent end portion of the chordal partition is sealingly secured to a longitudinally extending chordal divider portion of the head fitment.

A surface wiping implement is disclosed which is capable of effectively drying a surface. The surface wiping implement has an absorbent core encased in a non-collapsible cloth-like outer layer. The porosity, thickness, and liquid retention characteristics of the outer layer permit rapid penetration of primary drops of liquid into the absorbent core, while secondary drops of liquid are strongly attracted to and held at the interstices of the outer layer. The combined effects of the core and the outer layer remove liquid from the surface and prevent a redepositing of the removed liquid, thus permitting the surface wiping implement to remove all but the very small droplets of liquid which will evaporate in 15 seconds or less without spotting, streaking, or filming the surface.
