Abstract

A packaged composition including a plurality of particles in a package, wherein the particles include: more than about 40% by weight of the particles of polyethylene glycol, wherein the polyethylene glycol has a weight average molecular weight from about 5000 to about 11000; and from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of the particles of perfume; wherein substantially all of the particles in the package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to the base and together the particles have a distribution of heights, wherein the distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A packaged composition comprising a plurality of particles in a package, wherein said particles comprise:
more than about 40% by weight of said particles of polyethylene glycol, wherein said polyethylene glycol has a weight average molecular weight from about 5000 to about 11000; and from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of said particles of perfume; wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

2 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and said particles together have a distribution of maximum base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum base dimensions has a mean maximum base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

3 . The packaged composition according to claim 2 , wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and have a major axis in line with said maximum base dimension and a maximum minor base dimension measured orthogonal to said major axis and in plane with said base and together said particles have a distribution of maximum minor base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum minor base dimensions has a mean maximum minor base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum minor base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

4 . The package composition according to claim 1 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

5 . The packaged composition according to claim 4 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

6 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume and unencapsulated perfume.

7 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

8 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 90% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

9 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 90% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.2.

10 . The packaged composition according to claim 9 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

11 . The package composition according to claim 10 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

12 . The packaged composition according to claim 11 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

13 . The packaged composition according to claim 12 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume and unencapsulated perfume.

14 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 90% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.15.

15 . The packaged composition according to claim 14 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

16 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 95% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

17 . The packaged composition according to claim 16 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

18 . The packaged composition according to claim 17 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

19 . The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 99% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to said base and together said particles have a distribution of heights, wherein said distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

20 . The packaged composition according to claim 19 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.
