Abstract: An antistatic and fabric softening laundry wash cycle additive article includes an antistatic and fabric softening composition in a filtering container, from which a complex of cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant is released into the wash water through the filtering walls of the container. The particles of the released complex, the size of which are controlled by the sizes of the filtering openings in the container walls, are small enough so that they do not form objectionable greasy deposits on the laundry, such as often results when antistatic and fabric softening cationic surfactant is present with anionic surfactant in a detergent composition, or is added to the wash water with such detergent composition. The cationic surfactant may be present in the filtering container as a complex with anionic surfactant or in mixture with anionic surfactant, in particulate form.

Abstract: A measuring, mixing and spraying apparatus for a tractor is a combination of, generally, four distinct component parts. The entire apparatus is operated under pressure from a compressor mounted onto the front of the tractor. Along one side of the tractor is a diluent storage tank which provides storage on the tractor for the diluent used to dilute a test sample being sprayed. Connected to the storage tank is a diluent measuring tank specifically designed to receive a predetermined amount of diluent from the diluent storage tank. The diluent measuring tank is connected to a diluent mixing tank, and in this mixing tank the measured amount of diluent from the diluent measuring tank is mixed with a specific quantity of the test sample. The diluent mixing tank in turn, leads to a spray boom which disperses the diluted and mixed test sample.
