Abstract: A dispensing vessel for introducing moisture into a clothes drying environment includes a core and a cover substantially surrounding the core. The core is configured to at least temporarily retain a moistening substance therein. The cover includes a plurality of protuberances sized and dimensioned to lift and separate individual clothing articles when the dispensing vessel is disposed within a clothes drying environment with clothing articles. Each protuberance includes a flattened tip at a distal end thereof, a fill opening defined therethrough to provide access to an interior of the cover from an exterior of the cover, and one or more dispensing openings. Each dispensing opening is disposed at the flattened tip of a respective protuberance of the plurality of protuberances and provides access to an exterior of the cover from an interior of the cover.

Abstract: An apparatus for filling a bag includes a resilient sheet having first and second portions separated by a scored boundary having the shape of an arc. The resilient sheet is arrangeable between a relaxed configuration, wherein the resilient sheet is generally flat, and a flexed configuration, wherein the first portion is flexed into a curved shape that results in the second portion bending toward the first portion along the scored boundary. When in the flexed configuration, the first portion is adapted to fit into an opening in the bag and the second portion extends from the bag and supports the resilient sheet.
