DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1 / The AntiVi Invention is an attachable metal handle that is attached each end by a screw or bolt to the handle section of a shopping trolley.The handle is encased in any printing required and has a PVC antiviralplastic sleeve permanently attached to the handle by a compressed air systemAs shown in Page 6 Claims.These new antiviral handles can be exchanged with existing cart handles. 2 /The AntiVi Invention has antibacterial qualities but the main thrust of the protection is antiviral which is extremely important with the Covid 19 virus prevalent throughout the world.The AndVi invention is based on Silver Ions which is a powerful antimicrobial agent and the US E.PA has found it inhibits the growth of Covid 19 virus. 3 / The size of the metal handles can vary- but can be in the range of 40-70 cm. Length with a diameter in the range 15-50 mmthe PVC antiviral sleeves are made to suit the handles length. Thickness of the PVC antiviral film can be between 1 and 2 mm.As shown in ernails from Jackty at Coaction they can grind the antimicrobial additive finely to suit the thickness of the PVC sleeves-which shows their willingness to help make our Invention program successful. 4 / How PVC film is made from a Google site The electrolysis of salt water produces chlorine which is then combined with Ethylene that has been obtained from oilThe resulting element is Ethylene Di Chloride which converts at very high temperature to Vinyl Chloride Monomer.These Monomer Molecules are polymerised forming PVC Poly Vinyl Chloride 5 / A person working In the plastics / polymer industry with reasonable experience and knowledge of the formula could produce PVC film with the addition of an antimicrobial agent purchasedin from a company specialising in the manufacture and supply of antimicrobial additives based on Silver lons.The formula for the Invention as supplied by CoAction is 97% PVC AND 3% antimicrobial additive. 6 / The formulation of antimicrobial additives based on Silver Ions being added to various types of plastic / polymers is a proven technology and is being used more in the production of food items medical equipment-toys personal products and in other industries.Production of the Invention also has strong expectations to work successfully in the area of antiviral shopping cart handles. 7 / To summarise the ease of producing the Invention to become a finished product is only 2 steps 1 / Produce the anti-viral PVC plastic sleeves-can be done by Mojak Plastics in Thomastown Vic. See para 5 Summary of Invention. 2 / Obtain the antiiviral additive from Coaction [ finely ground I see para 4 in Summary of Invention-which will be included in production of the PVC anti-viral sleeves.
