[0001] A REFILLABLE CLEANING SET

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to a cleaning set which is formed by completely dissolvable detergent capsule and by refillable bottle and which does not produce waste and which is environment-friendly.

[0004] KNOWN STATE OF THE ART

[0005] Essentially, cleaning describes removing dirt, dust, stain and other undesired substances from desired surfaces and areas by using various products and tools, and preserving a clean and hygienic medium. Cleaning can be diversified by separating to different categories according to different kinds, regions or objects. Cleaning, which is accepted as a basic item of hygiene, is named as area cleaning including cleaning of various areas like personal cleaning where personal hygiene is provided, and house cleaning where hygiene of areas like kitchen, bathroom, room, toilet is provided, or inner medium cleaning where hygiene of areas like office, classroom, restaurant is provided, or outer medium cleaning where hygiene of areas like park, street, road is provided.

[0006] In all kinds of cleaning, by using cleaning tools like sweeper, sponge, cloth, brush, bucket, vacuum cleaners and by using various detergent and disinfectant products which can be in powder, liquid, tablet and concentrated form, effective cleaning is provided without giving damage to surfaces.

[0007] Cleaning improves the appearance of an area, and besides, cleaning provides hygiene and decreases the presence of allergens, microbes and dirt which may unfavorably affect health, and thereby cleaning reinforces a healthier living medium.

[0008] At the present time, various detergent and disinfectant products, used during cleaning, give harm to both human health and ecological balance depending on the contents of said products. Cleaning products are essentially sold inside closed bottles, spray bottles or paper or plastic packages generally for single use. Besides the harmful effect of dirty wastes, which occur during usage of the cleaning product by the user, to nature, to ecological balance and to human health, conversion of disposable packages of the cleaning products into waste after being used also leads to deterioration of ecological balance.

[0009] At the present time, in order to bring a solution to this problem, various refillable cleaning product bottles and concentrated cleaning products have been developed. These products are essentially obtained by discharging of the concentrated product to the refillable bottle and by diluting by means of mixing with water. Even though these cleaning product bottles increase reusability, they cannot prevent the unfavorable effect of the wastes of bottles or packages wherein the concentrated form of the cleaning product is existing.

[0010] In the known state of the art, there are applications related to various refillable products. Some of them are explained and examined below.

[0011] The patent file with no “WO2018197189A1” that exists in the known state of the art has been examined. In the subject matter invention, a sprayer system is described which comprises a liquid detergent container including a bottle which has a trigger sprayer, a liquid concentrated detergent capsule, two connectors, reservoir, a container body, an outlet orifice, an aqueous liquid and an inlet hole, a base, a storage area, and a reservoir, and a container body which has a reservoir. When said invention is examined, it is described that said spray system is formed by two separate modules namely bottle and spray head, and the bottle body is made of polymer groups like polypropylene (PP). Since polymers like polypropylene (PP) will chemically interact with detergent products which shall be added into the bottle, this will decrease the cleaning efficiency of the detergent product and this will shorten the usage lifetime of the reservoir wherein the detergent is existing, the harm of said sprayer system to ecological balance is not prevented.

[0012] The patent file with no “GB2342347A” that exists in the known state of the art has been examined. In the subject matter invention, a closure of a refill container for use in refilling of a hand held dispensing bottle of the type used with consumer products such as a trigger spray detergent bottle. When said invention is examined, a frangible seal is described which is broken as a result of pushing movement by means of rotation of the fill container cover by means of screw thread and which is opened in the liquid flow direction. As a result of said pushing by means of rotation, in order to break the seal that exists in the cover structure, the user should exert a force which shall provide advance both in orthogonal and horizontal directions, and during breaking of the seal, the cover of the fill container is damaged and loses functionality as a result of the exerted force. Therefore, since this will lead to applying of more force by the user and at the same time, the cover of the fill bottle will be damaged and the usage lifetime will decrease, the harm to the ecological balance is not prevented.

[0013] The patent file with no “WO9843895A1” that exists in the known state of the art has been examined. In the subject matter invention, a device is described for storing a liquid, particularly a dilutable concentrate such as a detergent concentrate or the like, said device being co-operable with a spray dispenser bottle and a spray dispenser head which together form a spray dispenser, the device comprising: a top wall and a bottom wall, said top wall and bottom wall being separated by one or more side walls, the top and bottom wall each having an opening continuous with a channel running through the device from the top wall opening to the bottom wall opening, whereby the top, bottom and sidewalls together with the channel, define at least one reservoir area of the device wherein liquid is storable. When said invention is examined, it has been described that besides the spray dispenser bottle and the spray dispenser head, it comprises concentrated odor capsule products. Apart from the spray dispenser bottle and the spray dispenser head, after discharge of concentrated odor capsule products into the spray dispenser bottle, this structure will be a waste, the harm of the refillable products to the ecological balance is not prevented.

[0014] The patent file with no “US2023051362A1 ” that exists in the known state of the art has been examined. In the subject matter invention, a refill cartridge, a bottle and combination bottle / cartridge which are easy to use and results in the use of less plastic are described; the invention comprises a cartridge suitable for use as a refill; the cartridge includes a body having a receptacle for receiving a product and a closure at its top; the closure includes a fastener for fastening the closure to the body, a closing platform including an opening, and a seal covering the opening; the seal is openable whereby to breach the seal and permit a pump dip tube to traverse the cartridge; the bottom of the cartridge likewise includes a sealed opening which can be breached by a dip tube, whereby to permit product to escape from the cartridge into the body of the bottle. When said invention is examined, the usage of concentrated cartridge inside the refill bottle is described, and re-change of the concentrated cartridge when it finishes is described. Since the concentrated cartridge shall be a waste as the product that exists in the concentrated cartridge finishes, the harm of the refillable products to ecological balance is not prevented.

[0015] As a result, an improvement must be made in the related technical field because of the above mentioned disadvantages and because of the insufficiency of the present solutions about providing contribution to recycling without deteriorating ecological balance. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The most important object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning product package set which is refillable with a cleaning material including kitchen soap and concentrated cleaning chemical and including a spray capped bottle for cleaning materials used on hard surfaces. By means of this, instead of single-use habit, an environment-friendly cleaning set in a recyclable / sustainable manner is provided.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide cleaning capsule whose outer layer is formed by kitchen soap and whose inner volume includes concentrated cleaning chemical. By means of this, a cleaning capsule is provided which is completely dissolvable in water and which does not form any waste and which does not give harm to ecological balance.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to include spray capped bottle comprising cover which has cutters that provide cutting of the mouth of the cleaning capsule. By means of this, the need for any tool or means from outside for opening the capsule is avoided.
