Starch applicator system

Abstract

The invention provides a new starch applicator devices, systems, and methods. In general, the device includes a substrate that is capable of releasably holding a compound that includes a starch. The substrate may hold the compound via a variety of means, such as absorption where the compound is a liquid, and adhesion when the compound is a powder. The systems teach methods of providing the compound-containing substrates, and the methods instruct how to use the compound-containing substrates.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A starch applicator system, comprising a substrate that is capable of releasably holding a compound comprising a starch.  
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the substrate holds a compound comprising a starch via absorption to achieve a moist substrate.  
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the substrate holds a compound comprising a starch via surface adhesion such that the substrate and compound are dry.  
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound is a liquid comprising a starch.  
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound is a powder comprising a starch.  
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound comprises a starch and a stain blocker.  
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound comprises a starch and a stain remover.  
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound comprises a starch and a perfume.  
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound comprises a starch and an insect repellent.  
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the compound comprises a starch and an anti-flaking agent.  
     
     
         11 . A starch applicator system, comprising: 
 a substrate that is capable of releasably holding a compound that includes a starch; and    a substrate container that is enabled to removably contain a substrate.    
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is adapted to minimize evaporation.  
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is adapted to promote the removal of one substrate at a time via a tight-opening located in the container.  
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising a second substrate, the second substrate and the substrate being integrally attached, and being separated by a perforation that does not tear unless a predefined tearing force of tension is applied to the perforation.  
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising a second substrate, the second substrate being folded with the substrate.  
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is a resealable plastic bag.  
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is a self-sealing cylindrical container that is adapted to accept a roll of substrates.  
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is resealable, and adapted to accept a plurality of folded and stacked substrates.  
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising a removable package seal that environmentally isolates a substrate within the substrate container.  
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11  wherein the substrate container is a cardboard box.
