Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
A liquid detergent composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 15% to about 50% of an anionic surfac-tant (b) from about 2% to about 15% of a suds stabilizing nonionic surfactant selected from the group con-sisting of amine oxides, amides and the ethylene oxide condensates of alcohols and alkyl phenols; (c) from about 1% to about 20% of a water-insoluble abrasive having a particle diameter of from about 5 to 250 microns and a hardness on the Mohs scale of from about 2 to about 8; and (d) from about 20% to about 82% water; said composition providing an initial suds cover to a dish-washing solution and a suds cover after the washing of eight plates when used at a concentration of 0.07% in two gallons of 115°F. water containing 7 grains/gallon water hardness measured as CaCO3, each plate carrying 4.0 ml. of triglyceride-containing soil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
A liquid detergent composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 15% to about 50% of an anionic surfac-tant (b) from about 2% to about 15% of a suds stabilizing nonionic surfactant selected from the group con-sisting of amine oxides, amides and the ethylene oxide condensates of alcohols and alkyl phenols; (c) from about 1% to about 20% of a water-insoluble abrasive having a particle diameter of from about 5 to 250 microns and a hardness on the Mohs scale of from about 2 to about 8; and (d) from about 20% to about 82% water; said composition providing an initial suds cover to a dish-washing solution and a suds cover after the washing of eight plates when used at a concentration of 0.07% in two gallons of 115°F. water containing 7 grains/gallon water hardness measured as CaCO3, each plate carrying 4.0 ml. of triglyceride-containing soil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
The composition of Claim 1 wherein the anionic surfac-tant comprises a material selected from the group consist-ing of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, olefin sulfonates and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
The composition of Claim 2 wherein the suds stabiliz-ing nonionic surfactant comprises a material selected from the group consisting of ethanolamides, amine oxides and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words
The composition of Claim 3 wherein the abrasive comprises a material selected from the group consisting of quartz, silica, diatomaceous earth, feldspar, high density perlite, calcite and mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of Claim 1, 2 or 3 wherein the pH value of a 10% solution in water is from about 8.0 to about 10Ø
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of Claim 4 wherein the pH value of a 10% solution in water is from about 9.0 to about 10Ø
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
The composition of Claim 6 which comprises a suspending and thickening agent selected from the group consisting of colloidal clays, colloidal silica, isomorphous silicates, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
The composition of Claim 7 wherein the suspending and thickening agent is a colloidal clay.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 13 words
The composition of Claim 8 which comprises ethanol and an alkali metal sulfosuccinate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 36 words
The composition of Claim 1, 3 or 7, which comprises a suspending and thickening agent and which has a yield value of from about 100 dynes per square centimeter to about 400 dynes per square centimeter.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of Claim 9 which has a yield value of from about 200 dynes per square centimeter to about 300 dynes per square centimeter.
