  • hair care compositions such as hair dyes directly to the hair of the user.
  • Reusable dosing devices comprising a hollow body that may be filled with a detergent composition for delivering a laundry composition within the drums of the washing machine have been proposed in the past and are often referred to as dosing balls.
  • Dosing balls having squeezable, resilient walls have been proposed.
  • EP0,368,680 discloses a container having the general shape of an hollow sphere formed by a resilient wall and provided with an opening for filling and dispensing a detergent composition, for example a liquid detergent. The sphere may be filled with a detergent composition and then placed in the drum of a washing machine.
  • the rotation of the drum causes repeated compressions of the wall of the ball by the wet clothes, which are followed by the flexing back of the wall to its original shape when the pressure is released by further rotation of the drum.
  • This combination of compression and flexing back creates a pumping effect that successively sucks and expels the wash liquor in and out of the body of the ball where it mixes or dissolves the content of the ball during the wash program.
  • Dosing balls having a non- squeezable wall and in which no noticeable squeezing effect takes place have also been proposed.
  • the wash liquor enters the ball through an opening, mixes with the detergent composition and is released through another or the same opening.
  • squeezable containers e.g. shampoo bottles or dosing balls
  • increasing the thickness of the squeezable wall may result in an increase of the resilience, and said wall may reform its shape quicker.
  • users typically do not like thick plastic walls as these can be harder to squeeze.
  • These containers may also be more expensive to manufacture as more material is required to form the wall.
  • Paper or thin plastic film labels having information printed on them are commonly used on the walls of containers for providing information to the user, such as the composition's formula, the best-to-use-before date or the method of use.
  • JP3027032 Noda et al. discloses labeled squeeze containers for viscous liquids wherein the container body is made of a thermoplastic resin having an elasticity modulus of between 500 to 4000 kg/cm 2 .
  • the labels are made of synthetic resins (e.g. polyethylene) and have a thickness of from 50 to 100 ⁇ m. The labels are said to improve the deformation characteristics and restorative capability after squeezing.
  • JP10086922 discloses labeled squeeze bottles wherein the body of the bottle is made of a thermoplastic resin having a lower rigidity than the label (the difference in rigidity is at least 5000kg/cm 2 ).
  • the preferred material used for the label is a polypropylene synthetic paper having a three-layer structure and the preferred thickness of the label is of between 60 and 120 ⁇ m.
  • the labeled bottle is said to improve the bottle elastic contraction and recovery.
  • JP3027033 Noda et al., discloses labeled squeeze containers similar to those of JP3027032, being further provided that the label has an elasticity modulus greater than the modulus of the container.
  • JP3027032, JP3027033 and JP10086922 all disclose relatively thin labels ( ⁇ 0.1mm) made of relatively hard materials (e.g. polypropylene).
  • Sport water bottles comprising two rubber pads have been commercialized.
  • elastomer labels adhered to the walls of a container could considerably increase the resilience of the "labelized” container. This may make it easier for the user to deliver the composition and can reduce the "fatigue” (cumulative effect of repeated squeezings which can lead to failure) of the wall of the container.
  • Containers labeled with an elastomeric material also have the additional advantages of providing a better grip (anti-slip) for the user and are aesthetically pleasing to the touch and sight. Another advantage is that thinner walls can be used as the label increases the overall strength of the containers.

  • the label could potentially cover the whole surface of the squeezable wall, this may not be economical as elastomeric materials are relatively expensive.

  • the minimum surface area of each label should preferably be at least about 1 , more preferably at least about 5, even more preferably at least about 10 square centimeters.
  • the shape of the label is not critical. Labels with simple shapes such as bands, squares, rectangles, rectangles with round comers, circles or ovals are easy to manufacture and to adhere to the wall of the container. More complicated shapes having an aesthetical appeal can also be used, in particular shapes such as letters can be carved in the label and provide a further aesthetic character to the container. For a container having the general form of a bottle, it was found that labels having an elongated shape and adhered along the same direction as the axis of the body of the bottle provide excellent resilience to the bottle.

  • Flowable compositions are often packaged in containers comprising at least one squeezable wall made of a resilient material. It is also known to dispense detergent compositions directly in the drum of a washing machine from a dosing ball having a hollow body with resilient walls. The squeezing of the wall increases the pressure inside the container, which delivers the flowable compositions out of the container through suitable delivery means. "Resilient” means that the material can reform in shape when the squeezing pressure is released. The term “flexible” and “squeezable” may be used herein interchangeably.

  • Fig. 1 A simple example of such delivery means protruding from the reservoir is shown in Fig. 1 where the container has the general form of a bottle and the delivery means is the neck of the bottle.

  • compositions having a viscosity of at least about 1 Pa.s (1,000 cps) are relatively viscous and cannot be efficiently delivered from a conventional container (e.g. a bottle) as gravity alone is not sufficient to make these compositions leave the container quickly enough.
  • These compositions are therefore usually packaged in squeezable containers wherein the user can exert a pressure on the wall of the container to force the composition through the delivery means.
  • repeated squeezing is often necessary to deliver a sufficient amount of the composition, and it is therefore important for the convenience of the user that the wall of the container quickly regains its original shape to allow quick delivery of the product.
