Benefits of technology
"The present invention is an improved moist wipes dispenser with a sliding cover. The cover can be opened and closed to access the wipes inside. The cover slides in a translatory motion from the closed position to the open position and vice versa. The receptacle has side walls that form a top-facing edge that defines the opening. The cover has a non-sliding interface member attached to the receptacle, which has an aperture aligned with the opening, and a sliding member that slides with respect to the interface member. The sliding member has a finger-gripping portion. The interface member and sliding member are slidingly attached to each other by a channel that slides over a rail. The technical effects of this invention include improved access to moist wipes, convenient use, and a more streamlined design."

This is not only awkward and aggravating, but sometimes is impossible to accomplish due to the construction of the moist tissue dispenser. [0003] It is better for both the parent and the infant if the parent can simply and easily open up a moist tissue dispenser with one hand and also pull out subsequent tissues with only one hand. For the parent, aggravation and frustration are greatly reduced if the moist tissue can be r...
