iVoice Technology, Inc., announced today a new Patent Application filing for a process it describes as Recycled Tire Pod with Appliance Recess Guide, using Recycled Tires. The application supports one of the Company's new "green" platforms. iVoice Technology recently decided to develop and acquire green technologies to support activities in large markets. Recycling used or scrap tires represent a multi-billion opportunity, due to millions of tires that exist and the significant health and environmental risks they pose.
The present invention relates to a recycled tire pad with appliance pod recess guide which includes a least one shock absorption pad composed entirely of fused shredded rubber from recycled tires, which is adapted for placement of a pod of a potentially vibrating appliance, particularly a “WASHING MACHINE”. The shock absorption pad reduces sound and pulsating of the potentially vibrating appliance when the shock absorption pad is fitted under the pulsating appliance.
According to the EPA’s Scrap Tire Cleanup Guidebook, released June 8, 2006, large scrap tire stockpiles present a risk to human health and the environment for several reasons. They provide an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, which carry and transmit life-threatening diseases such as encephalitis, West Nile and Eastern Equine virus, and dengue fever in some regions. Stockpiles can also catch on fire as a result of lightning strikes, equipment malfunctions or arson. State, federal and local agencies have spent tens of millions of dollars over the past few decades responding to tire fires.
