Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]The present invention relates to packaging containers for dispensing wet wipes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a packaging container designed to store and dispense a roll of wet wipes.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Containers that dispense moist wipes are well known in the art. Current packaging containers are widely available in different sizes, shapes, and designs. But many of these packaging containers either have complicated dispensing mechanisms, or no dispensing mechanisms at all. Moreover, the packing containers are not easy-to-open, nor easy-to-use.[0005]Most packaging containers are designed to store a center-dispensing roll of wipes or a vertical stack of interfolded wipes out of the top of the container. Packing containers that store a center dispensing roll of wipes are typically designed to dispense wipes from inside of the roll. When wipes are dispensed from the inside, a u...

Benefits of technology

[0010]As used herein, the term “wet wipe” refers to a fibrous sheet that has a liquid applied to the entire roll of wipes thereto during manufacture or prior to dispensing. The amount of liquid or solution contained within each wet wipe can vary depending upon the type of material being used to provide the wet wipe, the type of liquid being used, the type of container being used to store the roll of wet wipes, and the desired end use of the wet wipe. Generally, each wet wipe can contain from about 25 to about 600 weight percent or from about 200 to about 400 weight percent liquid based on the dry weight of the wipe, for improved wiping in certain situations. The liquid can include a fragra

Problems solved by technology

But many of these packaging containers either have complicated dispensing mechanisms, or no dispensing mechanisms at all.

Moreover, the packing containers are not easy-to-open, nor easy-to-use.

This design also frequently causes the second wipe, which is simultaneously being drawn with the first wipe being pulled, to become disconnected before it is pulled through the opening.

Put differently, because a user must apply greater force to remove a wipe from center-dispensing rolls, the perforation that connects consecutive wipes is often broken prematurely.

In addition to the dispensing problems, current packaging containers have covers that are difficult to reclose after use.

The location and design of the apertures, and poorly engineered covers require users to manipulate the protruding portion of a wipe in order to close the cover.
