Abstract

A fabric article treating device having a dispenser, reservoir, fluid handling system, measuring device and user interface. The dispenser and reservoir are adapted for fluid communication with one another. The reservoir is configured to contain a benefit composition. The measuring device communicates with the reservoir and / or fluid handling system to determine the amount of benefit composition remaining in the reservoir and activate a user signal on the user interface to inform the consumer with information relating to the amount of benefit composition in the reservoir.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a fabric article treating device for use with a fabric article drying appliance, and more specifically to a unique fabric article treating device and system for dispensing a benefit composition, employing a reservoir and a user interface to inform the user regarding a quantity of the benefit composition remaining in the reservoir. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Fabric article treating methods and / or apparatuses have been evolving over the past twenty years. There exists an ongoing need to develop a fabric article treating method and / or apparatus especially an in-home fabric article treating method and / or apparatus that improves / enhances the deposition of fabric article actives or benefit agents on the fabric articles being treated as compared to the currently existing deposition methods and / or apparatuses. [0003] One particular challenge presented in the delivery of fabric article actives in the fabric article drying...
