Problems solved by technology

When the wipes are provided pre-soaked, the wipes at the lower end of the package tend to become oversaturated, and stick to one another, while the wipes at the upper end of the package tend to be relatively drier.

first embodiment

[0066] Thus, according to a container according to one aspect of the invention, and referring to FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c and 6, a container 100 is particularly adapted for accommodating a stack 10 of wipes 11, optionally packed in a pack 50, in the inverted V configuration. The container 100 is of generally rigid or semi-rigid construction, and comprises a housing 110 of generally prismatic or pyramidal shape, having a dispensing opening 162 at a top portion 112 thereof, and an open bottom end 114. The housing 110 typically comprises a pair of opposed generally trapezium-shaped side walls 115, 116, which are typically planar and are laterally joined at optionally rounded side edges 117 to generally rectangular or trapezium-shaped opposed side walls 118, 119. The housing is reversibly mountable to a base 130 by means of a suitable arrangement, for example a snap-fit arrangement. Optionally, a lever 131 may be provided on the base 130 for facilitating separating the base 130 from the housing...

second embodiment

[0075] According to the invention, and referring to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, a rigid or semi-rigid container 200 is provided, particularly suitable for dispensing wipes 11 from a stack 10 in the vertical stack configuration. In this embodiment, a substantially frusto-conical housing 210 is provided having a base 230 that is adapted for enabling the container to stand on a substantially horizontal surface, and an upper opening 214. The stack 10 may be accommodated in the housing or alternatively, a pack 50 of wipes may be accommodated in the housing, in either case folded about a longitudinal axis 56 thereof. Referring to FIG. 9 in particular, the wipes are also partially folded in a circular C configuration with respect to a longitudinal axis, so that non-folded edges 13, 14, are in the form of a C, i.e., when the stack is viewed from above, such as to be snuggly accommodated in the cylindrical chamber 250 provided in the housing 210. An inwardly projecting radial web 150 may optionally be...

third embodiment

[0086] According to the invention, and referring to FIGS. 10 to 12, a rigid or semi-rigid container 300 is provided, particularly suitable for dispensing wipes 11 from a stack 10 in the vertical stack configuration, optionally accommodated in a pack 50 provided in the container 300. In this embodiment, a generally oval lower housing 310 is provided having upwardly projecting peripheral wall 315 from a base 312 that is adapted for enabling the container to stand on a substantially horizontal surface. In particular, the cross-section of the housing may be crescent-shaped, having substantially rounded ends, the cross-section thus being e.g., bean-shaped or kidney-shaped. Thus, the housing may comprise a convex and concave opposed front and rear walls, 315a, 315b, respectively, connected to side walls 315c, 315d, which together define peripheral wall 315. This arrangement may provide improved stability for the container 30 when resting this on a horizontal surface, particularly when the...

Abstract

A dispensing container, soft pack, dispensing system and method for wipes and the like are provided, adapted for dispensing wipes that are accommodated having a mid-portion of the wipes vertically displaced from an extremity thereof.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to wipes and the like, in particular to the packaging and dispensing of such wipes and the like. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Packages or containers for articles such as wipes are well known in the art. Such articles may be supplied dry or soaked / impregnated in liquid or lotion e.g. a cleaning agent, a solvent, a skin treating preparation, etc. Most containers for such articles typically are in soft-pack form or in box form. [0003] Typically, wipes have a generally rectangular planform and in one form are supplied as interleaved or inter folded discrete sheets stacked in a variety of different configurations, to facilitate the so-called pop-up effect, where each wipe has a leading portion that is first to pass through the opening, and a trailing portion that later passes through the opening, while dragging a leading edge of a sequential wipe into a standby position so it extends at a convenient removal position. In other dis...
