Estimating the term…
The invention is a solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes. The first shape is an inwardly curved bar having an inner opening. The second shape is an insert which is capable of interlocking with the bar by insertion into the bar inner opening. The solid chemical concentrate provides chemical systems having active constituents which may be the same, different but compatible or functionally and chemically incompatible combined within one matrix to provide at least one substantially continuous surface. The system may also comprise an aqueous soluble or dispersible polymeric film cover.
A solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes, said system comprising:
The system of claim 25 wherein said flat surface has a circular perimeter and comprises a set of grooves spanning across said flat surface from said bar inner wall to said bar outer wall.
A method of using a solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes, said system comprising a first shape comprising an inwardly curved bar, said bar having an inner opening, and a second shape comprising an insert wherein said insert interlocks with said bar by fitting within said bar inner opening, said bar and insert providing at least one substantially continuous surface for contact by an aqueous spray, said method comprising the step of applying a diluent to said system to dissolve or disperse said bar and insert to create a use dilution solution.
