Dispenser for stacked absorbent wipes

or the like

The invention relates to a dispenser for absorbent tissues.

In particular, the invention relates to dispensers of a liquid absorbent material soaked in the Body care ζ * B. can be used as a moist cleansing facial tissue is »In the case of damp cleaning wipes soaked with a volatile material, the easily evaporated

volatile material very quickly when the cloth is exposed to the atmosphere, so it is beneficial to the soaked Before use, keep wipes in a tight container, essentially keeping them with the volatile material remain soaked.

The dispenser according to the invention for stacked absorbent Wipes is characterized by a container for the stack of wipes, a closure for the container, a opening in one wall of the container or closure and an accordion-like folded stack of a continuous Web of absorbent wipes in the container, the wipe sheet soaked in liquid and through the opening can be pulled out of the container.

Due to the accordion-like folding of the web, it can easily be pulled out through the opening; preferably the web is perforated or similarly weakened at intervals along its length so that after pulling out predetermined lengths can be torn off through the opening.

The opening in the container wall can be of any convenient one Have training; z. B. it can be as a hole, as a single or multiple slots, or a combination thereof be trained. In one embodiment, the opening is keyhole-like with a center hole and a or a plurality of slots extending radially therefrom, the slot or slots being point-shaped at the end rejuvenate. With an opening shaped in this way, the web of material is removed through the center hole and after it is pulled out a desired length the web of fabric is drawn into the tapered slot where it is enclosed by the opening edges; then that is removed

Piece can be torn off. This increases the risk of being torn off pulling out an undesirably large piece of fabric, very small.

If the opening is formed as a single slit, the perforated fabric is pulled out through the slit; after Pulling out a length lying between two perforation lines will tear the fabric when passing through the openings on the Perforations.

According to a preferred embodiment, the container is a square box, e.g. B. made of plastic, and the opening is formed in the upper box wall, which is detachable, so that there is access to the contents of the box. The opening in the The upper wall can be closed by a cap or other suitable device to prevent the impregnated material from drying out To prevent substance in the container.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing • explained. Show it;

A dispenser or dispenser is a square box-shaped container 10 with a base 11 consisting of End walls 12, 13, a front wall 14, a rear wall 15 and a bottom 16 is formed; the walls form between a storage space 17. Of course, the box-shaped container does not need to be square, but can z. B. be round or oval.

The storage space 17 contains a continuous web of absorbent material 18, the accordion-like to one Stack 20 (Fig. 2) is folded; the path is to education a damp cleaning cloth soaked with a liquid. Suitable substances are e.g. B. nonwovens or heavy Tissue paper; a 100 ^ reeyon nonwoven web is preferred used.

The box-shaped base part 11 has a cover 21 with side walls 22, 23 »a front wall 24.» a back wall 25 and a top wall 26. Around the free edges of the side walls, the front and rear walls is a peripheral flange

28, whereby the cover 21 can be placed tightly on the base part 11 and retained there (see FIG. 1), however is removable if necessary (see. Fig. 2). The top wall of the lid is designed with an elongated opening 30, through which the fabric web 18 can be removed.

The web 18 is divided along its length by lines of weakness in the form of perforations or holes 33, which extend across the entire width of the web; the perforations enable predetermined lengths to be torn off -

29 of the fabric. During the release of the substance, it unfolds the stack 20 (Fig. 2).

509808/086 2

Around the edges of the opening 30 is integral with the top wall 26 an edged peripheral flange 32 is formed.

The lid 26 is made of a flexible plastic, e.g. B. polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, and has one by one Retaining bracket 36 secured to it cap or hood 35. The Cap 35, the lid 26 and the "Bfigel 36" all exist made of the same material and are molded in one piece. The cap 35 sits tightly over the peripheral flange 32 and helps to keep the soaked material 20 in the container moist; if desired, im Storage space 17 is provided with a supply of the soaking liquid be. '.

A handle 37 is provided for easier opening of the cap 35 intended for pulling up.

Due to the size of the opening 30, the fabric 29 is in the Space between the edges of the peripheral flange 32 retractable after a piece has been torn off, and that If necessary, the end of the track can be picked up again with the fingers; when using other opening shapes, e.g. B. a slot or a smaller hole, if the fabric has been pulled through the hole after opening the package, not pushed back into the storage room, but held in place until the accordion stack ^ is used up. With such an opening, the cap could be outside. the donor held free .End of the web enclose.

Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the dispenser according to the invention. The dispenser has a container 39, which in turn is essentially square, box-shaped

509808/0 86 2

is formed and has a base part 40 and a cover 41. The two parts form a storage space 42 between them for a stack of impregnated substance 44.

The lid 41 is made of molded plastic with dispensing devices for the soaked substance. These dispensers consist of a recess 45 pressed into the top wall 46 of the cover 41; the bottom 47 of the recess has the dispensing opening in the form of a slot 48 through which the substance is removed. The edges of this slot can form flexible lips that rest against the fabric as it is removed; this makes them easier to detach a length of fabric from the length of fabric and to keep the contents of the container moist. Fig. 4 shows a number of slot shapes, which can be used in a dispenser according to the invention.

The lid 41 has a closure in the form of a flap made of any suitable rigid material, e.g. B. metal or Plastic, which is pivotably connected to the top wall 46 of the cover at 51. Near the one opposite the pivot point At the end of the flap 50 has a downwardly extending rod 52 which extends over one of the bottom 47 of the recess 45 edgewise protruding bar 53 can be snapped. Thus, the flap 50 is held in the closed position. To the simple When the flap 50 is opened, the recess 45 runs past the bar 53 and forms a finger-engagement channel 54. The flap 50 is extended past the rod 52 at 55 so that the flap extends over in the closed position extending the finger engagement channel; this allows a user to tilt the flap 50 up with a simple movement.

According to FIG. 3, a length of fabric 58 is removed from the container in a similar manner as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG the fabric tears along the perforation when a length between perforations has been removed. _: .

All donors trained in this way are. it is important that the container is as fluid tight as possible to prevent drying out the liquid-soaked substance is prevented. In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the fluid tightness is achieved by the special design of the connection point between the 'detachable cover 41 and the base part 40 increased. The lower edge of the lid is formed with an inner wall 60 which runs around the circumference of the lid - and only on small ones Corner areas 61 is omitted. Together with the lower edge 62 of the cover 41, the inner wall 60 forms a channel 63, which can be placed against the upper edge 64 of the base part 40 in a fluid-tight manner. This structure establishes the connection between the lid and the base part tightly closed, while at the same time the lid for refilling of fabric or Liquid is easily soluble. Replacing the cover on the base part is made easier by omitting the inner wall 60 at the corner areas 61.

As a material for the base part 40 and. the lid 41 of the Container 39 is preferably used polystyrene.
