The present invention provides a rigid, water-soluble container made of an injection moulded poly(vinyl alcohol) and/or a cellulose ether, which container encases a composition; and a capsule container comprising at least two components made of one or more material(s) that can be moulded and which are water soluble or water dispersible or in which a substantial part of the surface of these components is water soluble or water dispersible so as to leave perforations throughout the wall when the capsular container is placed in contact with an aqueous environment, wherein the container has one to six compartments, preferably one or two or three, the content of the various compartments being accessible to the aqueous environment when the capsular container is exposed to such an aqueous environment, the accessibility time of the various compartments being the same or different from one compartment to another compartment, with the proviso that the content of the container is not a fabric care, surface care or dishwashing composition.

A device (10) comprising a textile main body, and one or more indicator elements (30, 32, 34) on the textile main body, or on a label (20, 22) fixed to the textile main body, for indicating date information, the indicator elements (30, 32, 34) comprising a plurality of severable portions (36, 38) spaced from the main body or the label (20, 22) on which they are provided, each of the severable portions (36, 38) being associated with date information such that by cutting one or more of the severable portions (36, 38) a date of use of the device (10) or a date of inspection of the device (10) can be indicated. A device (10) having indicator elements (30, 32, 34) of this type has the advantage that the indication of a date of first use or a date of inspection can be made easily, can be read easily and will be durable over many laundry cycles.

An object of the present invention is to provide a wristband that can be attached comfortably to wrists or ankles of various sizes, such as the wrists and ankles of children and adults, by adjusting a band length easily and quickly. The wristband includes a display portion, a band portion that is formed in one end portion of the wristband as an extension from one side of the display portion, includes band holes, and is wrapped around the wrist or the like, and a setting portion that is formed in the other end portion of the wristband as an extension from the other side of the display portion, includes a setting hole, and is overlapped with the band portion to attach the wristband in loop form. Band hole displays constituted by a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10, counting from the setting hole side, are printed beside the band holes in positions corresponding to the respective band holes. Band hole displays constituted by the same sequence of numbers as the band hole displays provided beside the band holes and boundary marks indicating the application range of the corresponding band hole display are provided in a length measurement portion at identical intervals to the band holes.

The present invention provides a rigid, water-soluble container (2,111,131,141) made of an injection moulded poly(vinyl alcohol) and/or a cellulose ether, which container (2,111,131,141) encases a composition; and a capsule container (2,111,131,141) comprising at least two components made of one or more material(s) that can be moulded and which are water soluble or water dispersible or in which a substantial part of the surface of these components is water soluble or water dispersible so as to leave perforations throughout the wall when the capsular container (2,111,131,141) is placed in contact with an aqueous environment, wherein the container (2,111,131,141) has one to six compartments, preferably one or two or three, the content of the various compartments being accessible to the aqueous environment when the capsular container (2,111,131,141) is exposed to such an aqueous environment, the accessibility time of the various compartments being the same or different from one compartment to another compartment.

The present invention provides a rigid, water-soluble container made of an injection moulded poly(vinyl alcohol) and/or a cellulose ether, which container encases a fabric care, surface care or dishwashing composition; and a capsule container comprising at least two components made of one or more material(s) that can be moulded and which are water soluble or water dispersible or in which a substantial part of the surface of these components is water soluble or water dispersible so as to leave perforations throughout the wall when the capsular container is placed in contact with an aqueous environment, wherein the container has one to six compartments, preferably one or two or three, the content of the various compartments being accessible to the aqueous environment when the capsular container is exposed to such an aqueous environment, the accessibility time of the various compartments being the same or different from one compartment to another compartment, with the proviso that the content of the container is not a fabric care, surface care or dishwashing composition.
