Wet and dry wipes with packaging

Abstract

A package having two separate, sealed compartments. The compartments are connected at their distal ends with a fold-seal arrangement so that the compartments may be collapsed or folded in billfold fashion. The proximate ends are constructed with a sticky tab, which sticky tab is disposed on a tear-away area. The sticky tab functions to hold the compartments together in folded position. Each compartment is sealed to prevent the egress of dirt or moisture. One compartment is adapted to house a dry, absorbent tissue or wipe. The second compartment will contain a pre-moistened tissue or wipe.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to containers. More specifically, the present invention is drawn to a package, which package has separate wipe-containing compartments. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The need for cleansing tissues or wipes arises in all types of situations. In a bathroom (public or private), in an automobile, with the kids after ice cream in the park, at the movies after buttered popcorn, the list is endless. There are times when there is need for a dry wipe to clean away dust or to absorb moisture from a surface or skin. At other times, only a wet bacteria-killing wipe will suffice. It would be most convenient if both wet and dry wipes were available in a single, handy, accessible package. [0005] The related art (see accompanying IDS) is replete with packages having compartments designed to contain disparate materials including wet and dry wipes. However, the packages are ei...

Benefits of technology

[0007] The present invention is a package having two separate, sealed compartments. The compartments are connected at their distal ends with a fold-seal arrangement so that the compartments may be collapsed or folded in billfold fashion. At least one of the proximate ends is constructed with a sticky tab, which sticky tab is disposed on a tear-away area. The sticky tab functions to hold the compartments together in folded position. Each compartment is sealed to prevent the egress of dirt or moisture.

[0009] Accordingly, the instant invention presents a novel and uniquely transformable packaging arrangement containing at least one wet and one dry cleansing wipe. The package is compact and in its folded state can easily be accommodated in a purse, pocket, vending situations, etc. In its unfolded state the package can be accommodated in billfolds. The package can be easily accessed and may be safely disposed.

[0010] The invention provides for improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which are inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing their intended purposes.

Problems solved by technology

However, the packages are either bulky or lack easy access.
