Patent ID: 7867964

Claim:
A shaped toilet bar comprising: a. about 10% to 60% by wt. of total non-soap anionic surfactant(s); b. 0% to about 30% by wt. of fatty acid soap(s); c. wherein the bar has a fracture initiation energy (G ic ) greater than 2 J/m 2 ; d. wherein the bar has a length extending along an x axis, a width extending along a y axis, and a thickness extending along a z axis, and the x, y and z axis are orthogonal to each other; and e. wherein the bar has an exterior surface, wherein the exterior surface includes: i. a top surface, a bottom surface and a middle portion extending from the top to the bottom surface; ii. wherein the top surface has a first profile extending along the x axis, the bottom surface has a second profile extending along the y axis, and the middle portion has a third profile normal to the z axis; iii. each of said first, second and third profiles independently being either linear, curvilinear or having both linear and curvilinear elements; iv. wherein at least two of the first, second and third profiles are different (preferably the first, second and third profiles are all different); and v. wherein the maximum value of the standard deviations of a Directional Variation Array of surface striations of each of the top surface, bottom surface and middle portion of the bar is each greater than 0.64 calculated via the DVA surface imaging method.
