Measurement device for absorbent/adsorbent objects
First Claim
1. A measurement device comprising:
- a tray to contain an object having at least one sealable multi-layer film having at least a first layer of a water insoluble material and a second layer of an absorbent/adsorbent material superimposed and in contact with each other whereby the absorbent/adsorbent material contains a liquid when the object is applied to a liquid material, and an identifier which is attached to the object;
an input device that reads the object identifier and measures a weight of the object after being applied to the liquid material; and
an output unit that displays the amount of liquid in the object after the measurement device records an original weight from the identifier, measures the weight of the object after it is applied to the liquid material and after the object is placed into the tray.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for measuring the amount of liquid that a packaging unit, or cleaning pad, designed to absorb and/or adsorb liquid that is being transported or was spilled or was released. The packaging unit or pad has at least one sealing multi-layer comprising a first water soluble film and an absorbent/adsorbent material. When the liquid contacts the water soluble film, the liquid passes through the water-soluble film. When the liquid contacts the absorbent/adsorbent material, the absorbent/adsorbent material immobilizes the liquid material. This immobilization prevents the liquid from escaping from the absorbent/adsorbent material. The pad/packaging unit is then measured by the instant device to determine the amount of liquid obtained.
