METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18468045 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION

Simplified Explanation

The partitioned solution cartridge for automatic distribution of dishwashing chemicals includes a protective top film and a compartmentalized body with multiple solution sectors, each containing a fluid reservoir and a distribution chamber. The fluid reservoir and distribution chamber are connected, allowing for the controlled release of chemicals during dishwashing.

  • Protective top film and compartmentalized body
  • Multiple solution sectors with fluid reservoirs and distribution chambers
  • Fluid reservoir partially enclosed by reservoir sidewall and protective top film
  • Distribution chamber partially enclosed by chamber sidewall and protective top film
  • Fluid reservoir and distribution chamber are fluidly connected

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in automatic dishwashers in both residential and commercial settings to ensure the proper distribution of dishwashing chemicals for effective cleaning.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of inconsistent distribution of dishwashing chemicals in automatic dishwashers, leading to subpar cleaning results.

Benefits

- Improved cleaning performance - Controlled release of chemicals - Easy to use and install

Potential Commercial Applications

The partitioned solution cartridge can be marketed to dishwasher manufacturers as an add-on accessory to enhance the performance of their products.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of single-chamber solution cartridges for automatic dishwashers, which may not provide the same level of controlled distribution as the partitioned solution cartridge described in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the protective top film affect the overall durability of the cartridge?

The article does not provide information on the material or thickness of the protective top film and its impact on the longevity of the cartridge.

Are there any specific compatibility requirements for using this cartridge with different types of dishwashing chemicals?

The article does not address whether the partitioned solution cartridge is compatible with a wide range of dishwashing chemicals or if there are any limitations in this regard.


Original Abstract Submitted

A partitioned solution cartridge for automatic distribution of dishwashing chemicals includes a protective top film and a compartmentalized body including a plurality of contained solution sectors each including a fluid reservoir and a distribution chamber. The fluid reservoir is partially enclosed by a reservoir sidewall and the protective top film. The distribution chamber is partially enclosed by a chamber sidewall and the protective top film. The fluid reservoir and the distribution chamber are fluidly connected.
