Toilet Paper Styled Wet Wipe Cartridge and Dispenser

Abstract

A two-roll toilet paper dispenser promotes sanitary cleanliness in private and public restrooms by dispensing both dry toilet paper and wet toilet paper-style wipes. A wet wipe cartridge fits in one of the two chambers of a conventional commercial two-roll toilet paper dispenser to convert the two-roll toilet paper dispenser into a wet and dry toilet paper dispenser. The wet and dry toilet paper dispenser offers both the cleaning agent of the wet wipe and the comforting feeling of a dry wipe. The wet wipe cartridge is preferably retrofit for a two-roll toilet paper dispenser that is already in place. The wet wipe cartridge is sealed when not in use to prevent the wet wipes from drying out. A sealable opening on the cartridge allows access to wet wipes while keeping the cartridge sealed when not in use.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a two-roll toilet paper dispenser that can dispense both dry and wet toilet paper. This is achieved by adding a wet wipe cartridge to a conventional toilet paper dispenser. The wet wipe cartridge is designed to fit into the existing dispenser, without needing any additional hardware. The cartridge is sealed to prevent the wet wipes from drying out and has a sealable opening to access the wet wipes while keeping the cartridge sealed when not in use. Overall, this design provides a convenient and sanitary solution for private and public restrooms.

Problems solved by technology

It is not an uncommon experience to realize the packaging format of the wet wipes does not allow for a convenient hanging or storing of the product to be used next to a standard toilet bowl.

Further, while toilet paper offers the convenience of hanging and storing the roll, it does not supply the user with the same cleanliness a wet wipe can offer.

The new market for wet wipes has yet to provide a convenient hanging and storing option to the consumer.

None of these dispensers are sized or shaped to dispense toilet paper or to be located on a bathroom wall or bathroom stall wall.
