The present invention is directed to a device for dispensing a unit dose
water-soluble pouch containing a laundry additive during the spin cycle
of a washing machine process having a spinning wash drum. The device is
attached to the vertical center post of a washing machine and holds a
water-soluble pouch above the high water level. During the spin cycle,
the spinning center post will create sufficient centrifugal force so that
the water-soluble pouch is released from the device. The water-soluble
pouch will then fall into the laundry where the water-soluble pouch will
dissolve when rinse water fills the machine thereby releasing the laundry
additive to treat the washed articles.
