Articles and methods for treating textiles and other materials with an antimicrobial compound during laundry and/or drying cycles. The articles include a porous substrate and a core composition that is releasably associated with the substrate and that includes a metal ion having antimicrobial activity. Methods include the use of the articles in laundry and/or drying cycles to provide antimicrobial treatment of the textiles and materials.

Articles and methods for dispensing metal ions into laundry systems

Articles, compositions, and methods for treating textiles and other materials with an antimicrobial compound during laundry and/or drying cycles are described. The articles and compositions include a metal ion having antimicrobial efficacy. Methods include the use of the articles and compositions in laundry and/or drying cycles to provide antimicrobial treatment of the textiles and materials.

Dispensing of metal ions into batch laundry washers and dryers

Under electronic monitoring and control, fluids flow into a fluid diffusion deviceto form a fluid combination. The fluid combination has corrosive properties as it flows into an anti-microbial canisterhousing a rollof anti-microbial metallic coated substrate, support frame, and porous body. The fluid combination corrodes the anti-microbial metallic coated substratelocated inside the anti-microbial canister. Upon exiting the anti-microbial canister, the fluid combination contains dissolved metal and is a liquid anti-microbial agent. Monitors throughout the system ensure the anti-microbial agent is being produced at the desired level and rate as it exits into its application.

A hitch mountable refuse container transport device has a vertical element supporting a telescoping mount, in an exemplary embodiment, that carries engagement keys on a horizontal bracket. Each key is adapted for engagement with an upper attachment element and a lower attachment element on the refuse container. Adjustment of the telescoping mount lifts the containers for transport.

Hitch mounted refuse container lifting system

A hitch mountable refuse container transport device has a vertical element supporting a telescoping mount that carries T-bar keys on a horizontal bracket. Each key has a horizontal surface sized to be received within a recessed portion on the refuse container and engage a lip on an upper periphery of the recessed portion. Adjustment of the telescoping mount lifts the containers for transport.

A microelectronic-based timekeeping apparatus having several display means, such as liquid crystal displays, that change color to indicate the time-of-day, and user accessible switches for setting modes of operation, are mounted within an aluminum frame. Time-of-day is represented by the dynamically changing relationship among the several display means. Display means consist of light valves alone, or light valves in combination with a backlighting means. The apparatus is suitable for integration with a work of abstract art and may be free-standing or hung on a wall.
