US4216104A — Process of manufacturing a gas-generating cleanin…

Claim 1

Independent Claim 170 words

A process of manufacturing a cleaning element comprising producing a first solution or suspension from a first mixture of components comprising at least one substance capable of forming a gas selected from the group consisting of calcium hydride, an oxygen generating substance and a CO 2 -generating substance; and a water-soluble adhesive; producing a second solution or suspension from a second mixture of components comprising at least one substance triggering the formation of gas, and a water-soluble adhesive; adding to either said first or second mixtures or both of said mixtures a detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic and nonionogenic surfactants; impregnating or coating a porous, flexible support consisting of paper, fabric or sponge with said first solution or suspension in at least one first area of said support, and drying the so-impregnated support; and impregnating or coating said porous, flexible support in at least one second area of said support separate from said first area, with said second solution or suspension, and drying the so-impregnated support.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 170 words

A process of manufacturing a cleaning element comprising producing a first solution or suspension from a first mixture of components comprising at least one substance capable of forming a gas selected from the group consisting of calcium hydride, an oxygen generating substance and a CO 2 -generating substance; and a water-soluble adhesive; producing a second solution or suspension from a second mixture of components comprising at least one substance triggering the formation of gas, and a water-soluble adhesive; adding to either said first or second mixtures or both of said mixtures a detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic and nonionogenic surfactants; impregnating or coating a porous, flexible support consisting of paper, fabric or sponge with said first solution or suspension in at least one first area of said support, and drying the so-impregnated support; and impregnating or coating said porous, flexible support in at least one second area of said support separate from said first area, with said second solution or suspension, and drying the so-impregnated support.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 46 words

A process as in claim 1, wherein the solution or suspension of the first mixture of components and the solution or suspension of the second mixture of components are applied separated from each other on the support in the form of adjacent strips, spots or surfaces.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 29 words

A process as in claim 1, wherein said support is impregnated on opposite sides to a depth of penetration which avoids a reciprocal contact of the mixture of components.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 65 words

A process as in claim 1, wherein a first support is coated or impregnated with the solution or suspension of the first mixture of components and a second support is coated or impregnated with the solution or suspension of the second mixture of components, and said first and second supports are dried and are then glue-bonded at faces by means of a separating joining layer.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 19 words

A process as in claim 1, wherein a peroxo compound is employed as the substance capable of generating oxygen.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 20 words

A process as in claim 1, wherein a carbonate or bicarbonate is employed as the substance capable of forming gas.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 19 words

A process as in claim 5, wherein an alkali is employed as the substance triggering the formation of gas.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 28 words

A process as in claim 6, wherein an acid or a salt exhibiting acid reaction in aqueous solution is employed as the substance triggering the formation of gas.

Claim 10

Dependent Claim 70 words

A process of manufacturing a cleaning material comprising producing a solution or suspension from a detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic or nonionogenic surfactants, a water-soluble adhesive, and at least one substance capable of forming gas consisting of calcium hydride in a non-polar solvent impregnating or coating a porous, flexible support consisting of paper, fabric or sponge with said solution or suspension; and drying the so-impregnated support.

Claim 11

Dependent Claim 70 words

A process of manufacturing a cleaning material comprising producing a solution or suspension from a detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic or nonionogenic surfactants, a water-soluble adhesive, and at least one substance capable of forming gas consisting of calcium hydride in a non-polar solvent impregnating or coating a porous, flexible support consisting of paper, fabric or sponge with said solution or suspension; and drying the so-impregnated support.
